Promising review: "I can't remember the last time I wrote a product review but I feel compelled to do so for Lumify. My eyes are constantly red. I have been to eye doctors, taken prescription eye drops, tried every eye drop on the market, spent hours searching the internet for relief and alas, the redness remained. My chronic red eyes have been a source of embarrassment for many years with people routinely pointing out how tired I look or questioning if I'm high. I would be too self conscious at times to even hold eye contact!! I tried these drops, looked in the mirror...and I swear I heard the strumming of a harp from an angel. Life changing. It's been 7 hours since I tried the drops and I've been working on the computer and driving in bright sunlight. My eyes are still white!!! Like, unhumanly white. It's amazing!!!!!!!" —HaileyC Promising review: "Bought for my daughter that only likes cold coffee. We tried many different methods and types of brew over ice coffee. All of those tasted watered down. This tastes exactly like cold coffee you buy at a coffee shop, but it's way cheaper and convenient in the comfort of your home. Wish we had found it sooner." —Happy Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $21.24+ (available in five colors). Chill-O-Matic is a small business that specializes in beverage accessories. Check out a TikTok of the Chill-O-Matic in action. Promising review: "I was so afraid of wasting money. But I didn’t. I love my sodas cold. But sometimes there’s not a cold one available, and waiting 30-40 min for one to get cold in the freezer is not always ideal. This will get your room temp can to fridge cold in 90 seconds. I let it run double that to get almost freezer cold. I wish it had a power cord. But I do appreciate the portability that the batteries provide. I can’t wait to try it out on vacation, as access to cold sodas isn’t always available. All you need is literally a little bit of ice." —G. Massey Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in two colors). This works for all types of hair, even if it's dyed! It's recommended to use two to three times a week. For fine to medium textured hair, apply one dose; for thick to curly textured hair, apply two to three, and apply one more dose for long hair. Promising reviews: "I don't use this as often as recommended, but I still see results. After the first time I used it, I noticed that my hair was softer and less dry, especially my ends, which are damaged from regular dyeing. I also feel like using it a few days after dyeing my hair helps lock in the color more. The effects of this lamellar water last for several days, and I feel like it has helped improve my hair in the month-and-a-half that I have been using it." —T "I had purchased this item as it was a recommendation from an article I read, and I wanted to try it as I have somewhat 'damaged' hair from coloring and age. I thought what do I have to lose, it's not a big investment. I probably keep it in more than 8 seconds, but less than 30, and I didn't use the full 1 oz. dose they recommend. I was concerned about my hair having no body, but it doesn't affect that at all. My hair is visibly shiner and healthier from using this product, I noticed it the first time i used it. I would recommend this product." —jcyawo Promising review: "I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" —Kassi Miller Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors and waterproof style). This handy spray is a wrinkle remover, static remover, odor eliminator, fabric refresher, and an ironing aid. All you have to do is spray the garment, tug it a bit, smooth it out, and hang it up. Within minutes, it should be good to go! Promising review: "By far over-exceeded my expectations. I don't even need an iron whatsoever. PERFECT when you are running late or just don't want to iron to get out wrinkles. Tried this as a long shot, but now a brand loyalist." —Ray Renna Promising review: "Great product! I bought this for an upcoming summer hiking trip in Utah, but I have been using it for an aerobics class as a headband. I sweat on my head and it runs down into my eyes. Regular headbands get soaked too fast. This really works because it keeps my head cooler and when warms up, I simply drizzle more water on it from my spouted water bottle." —Lepmay Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 10 colors and also in multipacks). Promising reviews: "I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don’t even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." —Hailey Peters "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that…everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CLR wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" —Kim Montero Promising review: "I usually go to Victoria's Secret for their bombshell bra, pay way too much, and deal with being uncomfortable from having to layer a sports bra over it to keep my boobs in place. But I am a huge fan of this bra. The fit is great, comfy wide band and adjustable. I can wear it every day all day, and I will forget it's there every time because of how soft it is. I don't have to keep fluffing it up." —Shadow witch Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 32A–40C and eight colors). I recently received this lip balm and I refuse to be without it, I'm not even exaggerating. Whenever I realized I've left my apartment without it, I go back and get it — it's that good. My favorite thing about this lip balm is the metal applicator. I've never seen anything like it! It's cooling to the touch and goes on so smooth without leaving any residue behind. As a lip product connoisseur, this is by far my favorite because not only does it leaves my lips hydrated as heck but it also adds a tint of color so I don't need to go over it with lipstick or a colored gloss! Promising review: "I actually went out and bought another one of these within a week of me first trying it out lol. My coworker recommended it to me after I had told her how I was having trouble finding a lip product that would keep my lips hydrated throughout the day and not just for a few hours. My lips would peel a lot and get dry and crack regardless of the weather in Houston, but since I've started using this I have not had these issues...I can be honest and say I was skeptical because I've used many products before that didn't do much but this is one worth the money and one I feel confident in recommending to others." —Tyesha Get it from Amazon or directly from Eadem for $24 (available in up to eight shades). Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!" Promising review: "This has saved me so much time switching between brushes. A few swipes and all the shadow that was on your brush comes off completely." —Stacey Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a four-pack and one other style). Dr.Tung's is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn’t see much results, so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which is a good thing in this case ;-). An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" —Lyra18 Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks). Promising review: "This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" —KFray Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in multipacks). These pumice stones can also be used to clean other surfaces, like ceramic tile, concrete, and porcelain, around your home! Promising review: "I can’t even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed by the toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can’t even drink it, so it stains everything it touches. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend it to anyone I know!" —MorganeC. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.97 (also available as a three and six-pack). BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. "We got Rockie when he was 5, and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors). Promising review: "Bought this because I need to iron my work uniform every morning and don’t like waking up earlier to do that. Now I just spray this on my uniform before bed or in the morning , and it smells like it’s just out of the laundry, and wrinkles are gone! I’m definitely buying more." —Jeff Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a bigger size in a pack of two or four). Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the puff on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in five shades). Promising review: "This little bar of 'soap' does exactly what it is intended to do. Do you have a sponge or rag that has that...odor? Simply wash your hands under the sink with this little guy and suddenly, your hands smell like hands again. I've used it after handling several smelly items that have a tendency to make an odor stick with you. It's worked consistently every time." —Jeremy Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in two sizes). Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging! Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy! Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." —Ruth Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in two colors). This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush. Promising reviews: "I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I’ve spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive, as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I’m very pleased with this product!" —Lafinrsm "This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four tones). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman has to say about it: "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water-soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in one to two passes." Promising review: "I used to hate wearing mascara simply because I hate removing it at night. But this changed everything! It’s easy to use, and the mascara slides right off. It doesn’t burn or hurt my eyes either. You won’t regret buying this; it’s worth every penny. I just wish I knew about it sooner!" —Jay Promising reviews: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom roller for months, and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis "I wish I'd found this sooner! This product really blew me away! I'd tried everything before - lint rollers, sticky reusable rollers, metal hair scrappers, and even duct tape. Nothing compares to this, and how easy it is to use, and it doesn't create more waste. I'll never use anything else again! " —Alexander Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). Promising reviews: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth "I was shocked! This actually works. It takes the oil away without distributing the makeup. Game-changer for me. I don’t know why I didn’t know about this sooner." —Lesa A. Promising reviews: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623 "These WD40 pens are so handy and easy to use!! Wish I had known about them sooner!!" —Lynn W Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.49 (also available in a single pack with a hat or a tumbler). Promising reviews: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use it with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend it for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House "I love using this product! I feel like a little kid watching the foaming action clean the garbage disposal lol. This product is now a part of my regular cleaning routine. I wish I had found this product sooner." —BigGreg And come fall and winter, you can crank up the heat in your bed without having to warm the whole house! Promising review: "Super easy to assemble and run! The remote is simple but has so many options! I didn’t even buy the 'add-on' sheet, and this thing has CHANGED OUR LIVES!! Our dogs no longer get hot and get up and down off the bed. My husband was shocked at how cool he gets, even though it’s on my side (he’s a hot sleeper, too!). We use it on the lowest setting, and I know this thing will MORE than pay for itself in electricity bills this summer! (We usually sleep with it on 63, and hot flashes have now set in, so I wasn’t sure how we would survive the Southern summer heat.😖) HUGE FANS OF THE BED JET!" —Melissa W. One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and a combo pack). Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned business designed for sensitive skin. Their products are free of any sensitivity-causing ingredients, and are vegan and cruelty-free. Promising reviews: "What is this magic in a bottle??? LIFESAVER!!! I wish I found this product sooner, it really made a difference with pimples, redness and pores!! Will repurchase forever." —mariavel "I touch my face a lot and it causes me to breakout. I use this after school, ballet, or anytime my skin feels dull. I realized how long it lasts the other day when I thought I was running out. It is worth every penny." —maddiekate17 Get it from Amazon, Sephora, or directly from Tower 28 for $12+ (available in three sizes). It's available as 2-in-1, 4-in-1, 7-in-1, 8-in-1, 9-in-1, and 14-in-1 styles that feature a different set of blades. Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six styles and five colors). Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions...until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two colors). In addition to mosquitos, you can also use it to treat bites and stings from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice. Promising review: "I ordered the Bug Bite Thing in December after watching the Shark Tank episode. I live in the Northeastern US and have not had to use it until the spring weather arrived. No matter what I do, bugs find me, and to compound it, I usually have an allergic reaction. I have tried numerous anti-itch creams and natural remedies through the years, which treat symptoms but not the root cause. I ordered the Bug Bite Thing with skepticism but am very pleasantly surprised. I had a number of bug bites that I tried this on and the itching and swelling dissipated immediately! It works and without chemicals. I highly recommend!" —HappyDaisy547 Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
