57 Products To Get You Maximum Satisfaction With Minimal Spending
1.
A mold & mildew removing gel, because you don’t need to get your whole shower redone when this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g.
amazon.com
It clings to tile, meaning it’ll STAY PUT, killing mold & mildew and keeping it from reappearing later down the road.
Promising review: “Didn’t think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn’t think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product.” —thekuan

2. Mielle’s (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil reviewers swear by to nourish their scalps, strengthening and promoting hair growth at the root. It’s formulated with biotin, moisturizing oils like jojoba, plus rosemary and mint oils, which can help stimulate the scalp.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: “Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)” —Claire Blanchard
Promising review: “I hardly write reviews.. but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week.. just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this.. hats off!!” —Dee

A few sheets of LED-dimming stickers to finally keep those pesky router, TV, clock, and other electronic lights from ruining your ~room of complete darkness~.
Amazon
They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you’d like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition!
Promising review: “This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I’ve blocked the light with a cover so it doesn’t shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn’t have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I’m more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in sharpie, etc, but true to the name of these products if you’re looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn’t leave a sticky residue at all, which can’t be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you’re trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!” —Amazon Customer

4. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason. Reviewers swear the molded cushioned footbed (made from a *waterproof* foam) stays comfy for hours and hours, whether you’re using them as at-home slippers or actual outside shoes.
Promising review: “Wow!!! Best slides I’ve ever had. I have designer slides and these surpass. True to size.They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don’t get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I’ve put them to the test and I’m Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!” —Krizia
Promising review: “Best Amazon purchase I’ve made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don’t be fooled THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands and they don’t cut it!” —Chelsea Proenza
Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women’s sizes 5-12 and 30 colors).

A pack of Avarelle pimple patches formulated with tea tree oil and calendula oil (to heal and shrink zits faster overnight). AND they come in two sizes — classic circular patches & large, square patches so you can easily treat and shrink clusters of pimples all at once.
amazon.com
A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these!
Promising review: “I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY’RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin.” —Caitlyn

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action.
Promising review: “Sorcery. We travel in an RV full-time, and with camping comes bugs… After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic. I don’t see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they’re teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad, or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn’t have a chance to annoy me. After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic.” —Justin Erny
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99.
7.
A borderline miraculous shoe-cleaning kit to erase the damage of mud from your favorite kicks, whether they’re leather, nubuck, suede, canvas, vinyl, etc.
amazon.com
Just add on a little bit of the concentrated cleaner and water to the included brush and scrub away — the blend of saddle soap, oils, and conditioners will gently banish dirt, grime, and even grease and grass stains.
Promising review: “It works great! I was a little unclear on what exactly I could use this shoe cleaner on when I ordered it, but I trusted the reviews and went for it. Turns out, this shoe cleaner works on just about anything. I cleaned up all my daughter’s outgrown shoes to get them ready for consignment, and this stuff cleaned the whole lot! It worked on everything from Crocs and jellies to Uggs and Birkenstocks. I still can’t figure out how something so powerful when cleaning canvas and rubber could somehow melt into suede and leather without leaving a trace. They should call it Pink Mystery Shoe Cleaner, if you ask me. I still have 95% of the bottle left, by the way. I definitely think I got my money’s worth! Nice that they threw in the brush, too.” —Beth C.
Get a four-ounce bottle from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in an eight-ounce size).
8. A two-pack of mint-flavored, sensitive skin-friendly teeth-whitening pens you can just brush on and remove those deep-set coffee, tea, and wine stains — without all the hassle of those trays or strips.Just twist the bottom, and paint onto your teeth. Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you’ve used through the handy transparent tube!
Promising review: “I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist which is supposed to be very effective but it only burned my gums and the whitening wasn’t as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews but didn’t have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the Dr’s kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use. It actually works even after first application. It doesn’t burn gums. It doesn’t make your teeth sensitive.” —Melinda
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
9. A pack of duster sponges, because the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are totally similar, for less! Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean, and you’re done!
I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don’t end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It’s great for baseboards, too!
Promising review: “I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!” —DayDreamer
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color packs).
10. A satin pillowcase to help maintain hair and skin health even as you sleep, reducing pesky frizz and breakage when compared with regular cotton or other fiber pillowcases — that means longer-lasting blowouts and less damage in the long run. Why spend the money on pricey brands like Slip and Blissy?Amazon
This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They’re the only ones I’ll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she’s in love with them too!
Promsing review: “I was skeptical that these wouldn’t work as well as silk pillowcase because the price was so low. But, game changer, seriously. Not sure what kind of sorcery in built into this, but it stays cool all night, my hair hasn’t been a wreck when I wake up. Get this!” —Susie F.
Promising review: “I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they’re softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled but a quick wash and dry and they’re shiny and wrinkle free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than competing brands zip closure. Highly recommend!” —Hannah Watkins
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes and 39 colors).
11. A Simple Modern tumbler for all of your hydration needs. Not only is the monochrome body chic (you might want to pick one up in various colors to match your ‘fits), but it’s leak-resistant, dishwasher safe, cupholder-friendly, and keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Plus it has a built-in straw and ~ergonomic~ handle! Stanley, who?
Multiple reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw.
Promising review: “Can’t say enough good things. Sleek design. Love the color. Keeps ice about 24 hours — MUCH longer than my Stanley. Love the cup! Definitely worth the $$. Thinking about getting the 50 oz. too. I have a 32 oz. and one other from Simple Modern and love them all!” —soliver108
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 27 colors). Also available in a style without the handle!
12.
A pack of waterproof blister bandages that are thick enough to protect and prevent blisters (like moleskin) but also made of hydrocolloid to treat any existing blisters while you wear ’em.
Amazon
On a family trip to Rome in 2019, my dad brought new shoes (???? terrible idea!!) and got really bad blisters. Luckily his Virgo daughter had these bbs along and enabled him to walk in much more comfort until they healed.
Promising review: “Great bandages! These are easy to use and so soft. They stayed on during a shower which impressed me as well. They are the perfect size and so comfortable. I also appreciated the fact that they didn’t come off in my shoe which is always a problem for me! Love the little case for them which I can easily throw in my purse. Great blister bandages!” —CTSmith
Get a pack of 12 (three different sizes) from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of just one size/shape for heel, spot, or toe).
13.
Essence’s Lash Princess mascara, which over *200,000* five-star reviewers swear by for dramatic length and volume *without* clumps, thanks to the flake- and gob-free formula and cone-shaped brush.
amazon.com
Promising review: “After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte ($23) for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy…and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!” —Carrie E. Miller
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack).
14. A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets made of a super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric over 250,000 5-star reviewers (wow!) love for being cozy and sleeping surprisingly cool — at an unbeatable price! You just might want to ditch your expensive sheets for these babies after the first night.
Promising review: “I can’t say enough good things about these sheets. I was waking up at night HOT all the time and thinking it was a physical thing for me personally. I was reading online and stumbled on these and thought ‘Hmmm…wonder if my uber-expensive sheets are actually making me hot at night??’ I ordered these and I’m sleeping like a baby now. No more night sweats. Ordering some for my son as well. Game changer! High quality and exceptional price.” —J. Marshall
Promising review: “I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn’t too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can’t say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!” —Sheree Chrestman
Get a set of queen sheets from Amazon for $34.97 (available in sizes twin–California king, plus sheet sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 45 colors and patterns).
15.
A reusable Revlon oil-absorbing roller stick with a ball made of volcanic stone that sucks the excess shine right off your face so your makeup looks *just* as good at 8:30 pm as it did at 8:30 am. Just pop it out and give it a wash once in a while and you can reuse it over and over and over again!
Amazon
Promising review: “Best purchase i have ever made. Oily skin type ppl definitely need this. Life changing.” —Estefania Barros
Promising review: “This… this! I don’t know what sort of sorcery this is, but this thing totally works, and it’s freaking me out! I tested it by standing outside for a few mins (I live in the south, very humid) and then came back inside and rolled it along my nose. Sucked that oil right up!! I cannot believe I have been wasting money on blotting paper when this was out there (and reusable)! Totally buying some for my sister and friends. If you’re on the fence about it, JUST BUY IT!” —Stellar
Get it from Amazon for $9. It’s now also available in a rose quartz version too!
16.
A FURemover rubber broom that, despite the name, isn’t just for those with shedding pets (altho it’s great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleagues knows first-hand, it’s also great at getting *human* hair out of carpets.
BuzzFeed / Emma Lord
It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces.
Promising review: “This is the best broom ever. My parents own multiple and I just bought my first. It wasn’t to clean up pet hair but to collect my own hair, as I shed uncontrollably. The hair ball that formed after sweeping my living room carpet would make you think I should be bald. It was gross but glorious. Everyone should own one.” —Michelle K. Tulcan
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in seven options, including an outdoor version and compact version).
17.
A stainless steel, dishwasher-safe ice cream scoop with a ~chiseled edge~ and ergonomic grip to make dishing up a sundae feel less like arm day at the gym.
amazon.com
Promising review: “After hours of searching and comparing ice cream scoops I chose this one. I am VERY HAPPY with this purchase. It was delivered exactly on time and we immediately washed it so we could try it out. Wish we would’ve bought it sooner and saved the lives of our spoons ; -) We tried it on four different ice creams and it was like scooping whipped cream! This scoop is awesome!! Very heavy duty but not too heavy. It has a nice covering that makes it easy to grip especially since I have small hands. Its dishwasher safe and comes with a lifetime warranty!!! This is the only scoop you’ll ever need to buy!” —Jackie R.
Get it from Amazon for $12.72 (available in three colors).
18. An exfoliating mitten so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers. Just lather up and (gently!) massage your skin — reviewers say this is great for preventing ingrown hairs, helping reduce KP, and using before applying fake tan!Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas.
Promising review: “I’ll be honest; I thought this would be another thing I saw on Amazon via TikTok that was way overhyped. I have dry skin, and despite using lotions, oils, and gentle body washes, I’m an ashy mess. This thing is incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever been this exfoliated in my life! Not a single flake or scaly patch in sight. 1,000/10.” —Ruth Bromberg
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available with one or two mittens).
19.
A plant-based, paraben-free shampoo so you can feel good about *finally* washing caked-on foundation out of your favorite tools without irritating sensitive skin or leaving behind residue. The formula’ll even leave the bristles soft and conditioned.
amazon.com
AND it’s cruelty-free and the bottle is made from recycled plastic. I use this on my brushes and beauty blenders and it just *really* works.
Promising review: “This is the best brush shampoo I’ve ever used. I’ve used brush shampoos from high-end/luxury lines, too, and they did not work as well as this. First and most importantly for me, there is no scent! I absolutely hate when companies put heavy perfume in products that end up touching or going near the face. When washing brushes with shampoo that is heavily perfumed, that just ends up irritating my sinuses whenever I’m using the brushes to apply makeup. So awful. This is not like that at all, so I can use my makeup brushes without having sinus/allergy trouble. It cleans extremely well! No more going over and over again like with using other makeup brush shampoos. A little goes a long way, too, so it is extremely economical. The value is awesome. I highly recommend this brush shampoo and will continue purchasing it.” —L.L.
Get it from Amazon for $6.96+ (available in three sizes).
20. Cosrx’s snail mucin repairing essence that may seem like it would give you the ick, but is totally worth adding to your routine. No snail-like results here: Just pat it in the evening, and you’ll be appreciating the moisture boost right away. Reviewers say it helps with acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema!I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!
Promising review: “This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn’t off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can’t say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!” —Sarah Deeb
Get it from Amazon for $13.50.
21. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it’s not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that, too, cutting through the toughest grime!Amazon
Just spray on (don’t add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I’m not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!
Promising review: “This stuff is the bomb! I can’t say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new – the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO.” —Kim M.
Promising review: “I bought this stuff because my sister swears by it. I’ve seen the commercials and thought, yeah sure… But first off, the fresh scent smells amazing without being overpowering. Secondly, it cleans oily, greasy stuff like a dream! My husband used my stockpot on his grill burner, resulting it in being COVERED in black sooty stuff. And everything it touched also received a healthy dose of soot. I initially tried the normal Dawn dish soap and while it did clean it up, it was smearing it and not easy to clean. I pulled out this stuff, sprayed a bit on the pot. BOOM, it was literally clean. Seriously, awesome stuff.” —Laura Pirkle
Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $9.49.
22. A set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you can jam out to your favorite tunes, nod thoughtfully at your go-to podcast, or simply call into all your Zoom meetings with great sound clarity (and no background noise). They also come with a couple of sizes of buds so you can ensure a secure — and comfortable — fit.
Aaaaand for the fancy pants you are, they come with a wireless charging case and provide up to 14(!!) hours of charge, and four-plus hours of continuous playback. (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Did I mention they’re are also sweatproof and waterproof?? With over 240,000 5-star reviews, they are mega popular, too.
Promising review: “I’ll admit that I would have overlooked these earbuds had they not been on sale. I mean really, who has heard of Tozo? But, boy am I happy with these things. the sound quality is phenomenal. The trick is to get the proper fit. So, if you are considering getting these, follow the documentation and try all the ear pieces. I had to swap the medium size installed for the large size, included, and when I did the sound just opened up. The lows, mids, and highs all come through. And that’s at all volume levels, which I consider the true test of any audio reproduction device. Getting the proper fit means they are also very comfortable to wear for extended periods. I can easily wear these earbuds and outlast the battery before I have to remove them. They are very comfortable. Speaking of the battery, I’m getting somewhere between 3 to 3 and a half hours of battery life, of continuous play, before they have to go back into the charging case. Considering their size, that just blows me away. I just can’t say enough about these earbuds. Had I known these earbuds were this good, I would have gladly paid the full price for them. Tozo is a name that will definitely get my attention in the future. Yes, I am that impressed with these earbuds.” —The Belenian
Get it from Amazon $25.99 (available in five colors).
23. The Chom Chom, a pet hair–removing roller with a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend’s shedding in a quick roll — so you can get back to cuddling together.It has over 100,000 five-star reviews!
Promising review: “I really can’t say enough good things about this thing. We’ve been fighting the dog hair battle FOREVER. In the past, we had huskies and then American Eskimos. We had vacuums on ever floor of the house and a zillion different gadgets to pick up doggie hair. It was just too much. When we lost our last Eskie, we decided to try a different breed. We now have 2 golden doodles. Greatest dogs ever. They’re hypoallergenic and supposedly they don’t shed. Pfffft. They do indeed shed. Nothing like our previous dogs, but we still almost daily fur removal duty, especially when winter is over and the weather starts to warm up. When I read the reviews for this thing, my view was that it was probably just one more fur removal device we’d add to our ever growing collection. They all work a little, but all have shortcomings. Either they don’t pick up enough fur or unless one is very careful, they can damage fabric. All of this is to say that we have been TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY by the ChomChom! It is truly incredible! It picks up every single bit of fur, is super easy to clean, and we’ve used it on every type of fabric imaginable. It leaves everything immaculate and pristine. I really can’t give it high enough praise. I’m going to purchase another to gift my sister and I’m buying a couple more so we can have one on every floor, with a spare for our vacation house. Worth every penny. You’ll be as delighted with it as we’ve been.” —Kate F.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
24. A manual “flossing” toothbrush with extra soft bristles in two layers that are super thin at the tip (as thin as human hair) and designed to reach places other toothbrushes might not. Especially when paired with actual flossing, reviewers say they’re left with a “fresh from the dentist” clean!Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Here’s what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: “I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I’m getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I’ve switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular.”
Promising review: “I will always buy this toothbrush. Can’t say enough about it. I feel like I flossed after using it. I HIGHLY recommend this toothbrush” —Elli Jacey
Promising review: “This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning.” —Amy N.

25. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that basically…works miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture.Promising review: “I can’t say enough about how FABULOUS this product is. Completely blew me away. I did my stove complete in and out. Plus two more glass tops. Fridge inside and out. Like brand-new. Wow.” —DEBBIE SCHINKO
Promising review: “I am genuinely stunned by how well this worked in my shower. I have been trying to get rid of these water stains since the day I moved in almost three years ago. They just got worse with time and nothing would hold them off. Then I tried The Pink Stuff and my jaw dropped as I washed it away. You can see in this picture I did a small section and holy moly, it looked like a new door. I usually don’t write reviews but I had to say how stunned I was with this. I haven’t used it on much else yet but with the results from my shower door, I can only imagine how great it’ll be. I give 5 stars!” —Katie Marchbank
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
26. My all-time desert island holy grail, CeraVe’s Skin Renewing night cream, which delivers on hydration and softness and protects your skin’s natural barrier. There’s a reason people can’t stop talking about CeraVe on TikTok!
It has new packaging just FYI if it looks different when you order it — I just make sure my order is sold by + shipped by Amazon! This is my all time fave, never-be-without night cream, and I always make sure to keep at least one extra jar on hand, because it’s sometimes sold out! Like many reviewers, I use it every single night too!
Promising review: “I’ve been using the same cream for over seven years. Every other cream would break me out, not moisturize my skin enough, or just make me too oily. I got this because I’ve been breaking out and I’ve been trying to find something to calm my skin down. The first night I used this my skin improved!! Redness/bumps reduced, my skin was soft. I have very sensitive, oily, acne prone skin and this did not irritate my face at all. I wake up and my skin is soooo soft. My skin texture has drastically changed in just a week. My makeup applies so smooth and my pores even look better. My new go-to!” —Melody

Promising review: ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS OOOOMMMMGGG!!! I was skeptical at first, but given the reviews, I figured I’d give it a try. I’m African American and have curly, kinky coils… in between the realm of type 3/4 idk to be honest. All I know is that when I went to detangle my fro after a long day, this brush easily slid through. I had to double take! I didn’t have to pretangle with a wide tooth comb; I just dove right in. My hair is THICK! After each stroke, I kept looking at the brush like, “What type of sorcery is this!? And to top it off, ZERO BREAKAGE!!! Buy this brush!!!!!” —Amazon Customer

28. Drywall repair putty, a super quick and easy way to repair cracks, holes, or nail marks in your walls so you can make sure your security deposit is, well, secure! Just apply it in circular motions straight from the handy dispenser, dust off excess with your hand or a cloth, and paint over when dry!Promising review: “Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed, this cuts the time/effort down to 1) rub over a place in need of patching 2) wipe off excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former WiFi router and modem- other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use.” —Amanda

The ends of my hair don’t feel or look strawish and dry like before.🙌I’ve done soo many diy hair masks and store bought ones but this has been the only thing in all my years of hair struggles that actually does what it says and it delivers.

When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would of thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one because of the alcohol consumption. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️” —Theressa Hailey

Now, I can do it in 30 seconds, and that was the first time not knowing what I was doing or what to expect. I suspect I’ll have this down to 10 seconds on the next go round. Love IT!

Promising review: “This is the second brown sugar bear I’ve purchased because they work so well. They are simple to use and very effective. Soak it in water and then place it in your brown sugar container. It will keep the sugar soft and easy to scoop. If you have brown sugar that has already hardened and is like a solid rock, you can place the bear in the container and by the next day you will be able to scoop it again.

I didn’t think I would need blackouts, but I work nights and sleep till noon and these are absolutely perfect. The color is a rich navy which are difficult to find in store. Trust me when I say, I went everywhere: Lowes, Home Depot & Home Goods, Tuesday morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target. No place had them in this color for this price.

When it’s something like a smoothie that has been sitting in the reusable bottles is just caked on and very difficult to get clean. I can’t just pop them in the dishwasher. One of these tablets with warm water gets them looking like new again. I can’t get over how clean these bottles come. We have bottles and jugs of all different sizes since my kids play sports and we are away at tournaments frequently. These are a convenient way to make sure all our containers are clean and ready to go. I would certainly recommend there if your family uses bottles frequently.” —NewHopeBuyer

Promising review: “I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That’s how impressed I am with this product.

amazon.com
Promising review: “The backstory is as to be expected. I tried using the typical toilet brush to clean the ring buildup that had occurred. As with nearly everyone in existence, I had tried quite a few different name-brand toilet bowl cleaners and followed all the instructions. However, they would only remove probably 60-70% of what was built up. The rest I truly tried to put my heart and soul into removing, but the brush just wasn’t getting anywhere. LITERALLY within 15 *seconds*, I had already removed nearly every trace of the ring that was there. It was almost eerie to put so little effort into having this take off the remnants that were left behind. It took all of probably two minutes to make sure I got all the spots off. Honestly, the results look like the ring never existed. So, instead of pouring chemicals into your toilet bowl and breathing in traces of bleach (depending on toilet bowl cleaner), this thing can do worlds better at removing the ring entirely. It seems strange to say it, but this is one recommendation that will probably be given to more people than I want to admit. Just… wow…” —Austin S.

*one reviewer says it’s even BETTER than Olaplex (which is over three times the price!).*
This is the same brand that makes the MIlky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask so many people swear by (and it looks damn cool).
Promising reviews: “I’ve been very careful when lightening my hair, but the straw feeling is sometimes inevitable when bleached. THIS PRODUCT IS MAGIC. I’ve always gone to my hairdresser when coloring so I’ve been fortunate to have my hair stay pretty nice but this made a world of a difference. My hair is like silk, or soft butter. So incredibly soft and shiny, I feel like a walking hair commercial. My hair feels so moisturized and healthy, just as soft if not softer than my hair was prior to coloring (been highlighting for five years now). Will be buying more before I run out, I will never stop using this product. FYI my natural color is the dark brown at the roots and my hair looks healthier than a natural blonde IMO 🙂 ADD TO YOUR CART YOU WONT REGRET. After you shampoo, load your hair up and do the rest of your shower, heck have it be a long shower bc you deserve it, and rinse out with lukewarm water.” —Meghan Davey
“I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged.

Promising review: “These candles are fantastic! They smell great, and do a great job of eliminating any odors in your house, not only those from pets. They do work best if you burn them for 1-2 hours at a time, but will get rid of the smells of wet dog, fecal smells, urine odors, and I’ve even found them useful for cooking odors. I’ve had 3 candles now (the first arrived shattered, and was replaced; the next three arrived in perfect condition). I highly recommend these candles. I purchased the Vanilla Creme Brûlée scent.

Promising review: “I’ve been on the hunt for kitchen cleaning rags and tried MANY. This may seem pricey but it’s a great value because it’s so easy to clean at the sink (or sterile with boiling water), unlike cloths, you don’t need a large supply to always have a clean cloth. It’s sturdy like a sponge and absorbs TONS of water and it squeezes almost dry, then dries in no time, even when it’s pouring rain. It’s flexible like a cloth when wet/damp and can clean any surface or tight spot. Great for wiping shower/bathroom fixtures dry. Because it’s so easy to clean with soap and water in the sink or boil to sterilize, there’s no need for a dozen to have a clean sponge/cloth all the time, or to do dirty rag laundry regularly.

After one use of the Diamond Dazzle Stik..my ring is absolutely breathtaking! I knew my ring got dirty now and then, simply from sweating and being outside in the elements. However, I never realized just how much dinge and schmutz marred my beautiful diamond until I cleaned it. It literally took my breath away with its fiery, dazzling brilliance! My wedding ring is something that always makes my heart beat a little faster: for its beauty, for what it represents…and now, my smile is even bigger and my heart skips a beat a little more as I gaze upon this amazing clarity.

I thought I had tried everything, with no success, and I was extremely discouraged. Until I read an article on BuzzFeed about life changing products.. I am SO glad I took a chance on this!! It ate through the gunk in my gross shower corner AND shined my claw foot tub like I have never seen it shine before!

A Burt’s Bees sunburn soother made with a blend of aloe and coconut oil for deeply moisturizing relief that *doesn’t* feel greasy — because it’s a good thing to have on hand before you get sunburned. Even when we do our best to reapply every two hours, sometimes it happens!
amazon.com
These photos above are four days apart, btw!
Promising review: “Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it’s minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother.” —jlgentr3

amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: “Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well every home remedy suggestion and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and after reading the reviews, thought, ‘Why not?’ Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes.

Promising review: “I was somewhat skeptical as to whether or not these would work, but much to my delight, they work very well! The real test were the organic strawberries I bought. They’ve been in the bag in the refrigerator for eight days now and are still edible. Usually when I buy strawberries, they get mushy and moldy within a day or two. The other veggies I’ve used these bags for are also doing better than they normally do without the bag. More often than I’d like to admit, we buy a bunch of fruits and veggies and they go bad before we eat them. Thankfully, these bags are extending their edibility, so I’m not having to feed them to the chickens and donkeys. I’m very pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend them.” —Dallas Shopper
