Promising reviews: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L

"What is this miracle in a jar?! The way my skin is so smooth right after the first use is [wild]. I will buy these for the rest of my life as long as I am breathing. This is now my FAVORITE skin product besides my sunscreen. Love, love, loooove" —Ryan M.

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer

I recently started using the 40-oz version and all I can say is, I wish I had converted sooner. This bottle is the only *true* leakproof option I've found. It's surprisingly light and easy to carry, it fits perfectly in my car cupholder, and it keeps drinks freezing cold for literal hours on end. I'm also impressed by how easy it is to disassemble and clean, which is a big selling point for me!

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder-friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAYS in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher."

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! 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 shades).

Promising review: "This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering so, just a light fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down and then hung the towel up and the next day, I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning ... it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting through grime and grease. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" —Joshua Hornish

This is designed for curly hair types. Reviewers with everything from 3a to 4c hair types say it worked for them!

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa

See a TikTok review of the shaver! For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. 

Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly

Promising review: "This little guy truly got me through this winter. For the size, it's very powerful. I'm a fan of the timer feature as I like to set it up when I'm getting ready for bed and the thought of running it all night is scary. I also love that if it tips over for any reason, it will automatically count down and shut off. Very reassuring. I can appreciate the thought that clearly went into its design as well. It looks more like a speaker than those traditional clunky space heaters so this is a solid WIN. 🏆" —Wanda Russell

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional-grade cleaning solutions for your home.

Promising review: "I cannot believe how well this worked. I am a CLEAN FREAK, and my nasty bathtub would literally keep me up at night. I tried every product on the shelf and nothing worked. I literally scrubbed until my fingers were raw and still got nowhere. I sprayed this bad boy TWICE on the mildew stains and now they are COMPLETELY GONE!! I am so happy, relieved, and thankful, but also mad that I didn’t know about this product sooner. I absolutely, 100% recommend, and I would give it 10 stars if I could!" —Mackenzie Mayock

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four sizes and in multipacks).

It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things.

Promising review: "I thrift a lot and often wish I had a measuring tape to compare picture frame sizes, furniture, etc. This has come in handy so many times. It can attach to your keychain/bag, or you can keep it in your car for such an occasion." —KB

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner and this makes it fast and fun! I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I’m obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." —Reviewer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors and six sizes).

It's designed for every hair type longer than 3 inches. Reviewers with 2b, 3c, and 4a hair types mention that it worked for them!

Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. 

My colleague Heather Braga uses this brush: "I've bought this brush after seeing it used on Love Island USA and have been testing it ever since. It's super simple to use and I can see how easily the edges separate out my wavy hair. I'm still playing around with which product will hold the waves/curls best, but the brush itself leaves me with fantastic waves just from using it on my wet hair!"

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls are amazing after using this in the shower to detangle, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K

Promising review: "The rapid dry of OPI is no lie. In a rush, I painted my nails in the driveway, and it was dry by my destination in 10 minutes. Didn't even smudge when I had to unpack the car. Quick sand is a nice nude nail color." —Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades).

Promising review: "I’m very impressed with this floral washable rug runner! It’s not only vibrant and colorful, but it also adds a lovely feminine touch to my space. The durability is outstanding – it’s held up beautifully after multiple washes in the washing machine, with colors staying just as bright as day one. I have not put it in the dryer, just hang dry. Perfect for high-traffic areas where you want something stylish yet practical and it does not slip around on the floor! Highly recommend this rug for anyone looking to add functional style to any area!!" —Jessica

BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.

Promising reviews: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don’t know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you’ve been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." —A

"I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. This is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! It also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" —Sarah Coleman

Check out a TikTok of this mask in action.

Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. 

Promising review: "I am not too big on skincare, but I have been following this mask's hype on digital platforms. A couple of months back I ordered since the price tag is not bad. I live in Arizona, and it gets really dry here; this mask worked like magic. Helped me combat the dryness. The best part is you don't have to use it daily (unless you want baby skin). I use it once every week and it keeps my skin plumped the whole week. I take this with me during travel and put it while I am on the plane to not have jetlagged skin after. This review is coming from a toddler mom and a full-time worker, so you can imagine how much limited time I have for myself." —Ms. W

Promising review: "I love this bag. It's perfect for so many things. I use it for traveling as a personal item, for the beach or pool, for the farmer's market. I use it literally all the time. It has soft material and is super lightweight. I love the front pocket and the closed zipper top design. It's also super easy to fold up and could definitely be a bag that gets packed for traveling. Overall, couldn't recommend more. It's perfect price and size for a little tote bag." —Julie

Billion Dollar Brows is a small business that specializes in beauty products. 

Promising review: "I have found a new eyebrow enhancer powder! I’m blonde, and my eyebrows don’t show up very well. I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face. And this one stays on all day until I wash it off! Well worth the price and the quality surprised me!!" —Pammer

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five shades and multipacks).

Promising review: "This is a very nice item and is just as it is pictured. I wanted something different to use and this was the perfect idea. I can use it for more than what it was designed for!! Perfect choice!" —Ms. T

Get it from Uncommon Goods or Amazon for $25.

Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven’t started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" —Susan

"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

Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt to buy a down pillow like the ones I slept on at the top-rated Loews Hotel in Philly. This is that pillow! I’ve bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I’ve ever bought that didn’t hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won’t regret it. I never write reviews but just had to because I know the search for pillows is difficult when you can’t feel them. I promise you won’t regret it!" —Amazon Customer

It's made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon that makes tools for gardening.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg Ryan Blanton

Promising review: "I was on the fence about buying a Frost Buddy because of the cost. Settled on this because of the various and fun designs and it being half the price. It's great! 3.5 hours after purchasing my iced coffee, the drink is almost gone, and the ice is still there! No condensation or wet hands. Very happy with my purchase!" —Jonathan Shoemaker

Promising reviews: "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

"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 

Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books.

Promising review: "We absolutely love our CovoBox.

Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!" —John Grace

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Promising review: "I love LOVE these headphones. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, the sound is great, and the noise cancellation is good too. I even wore these on an airplane for three hours and they cancelled out the plane noise and I was able to watch shows on my tablet with really good sound. Battery life is awesome too. Highly recommend!" —Nicole

If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic.

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lay on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Promising review: "My bathroom cabinets were getting out of hand with baskets and clutter and I regularly couldn't find what I needed.... so I bought these lovelies! And now it's perfectly organized! The drawers slide smoothly and I can reach everything conveniently. The item is actually sturdier than I expected for it being plastic. I filled mine up and it doesn't wiggle or anything when you slide out the drawers. I think they are great!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn’t want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1,200 sf townhouse and it works really well. I only have to dust every three to four weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought two of the smaller versions of this same purifier for the two bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don’t work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I’ve had all three purifiers going 24/7 for months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." —SuesZoo

"Stop looking, buy this! I bought a higher-end unit for my office and this one for my home. Literally no difference! Buy the cheaper one!" —Keith

Promising review: "Very pleased with this humidifier! It puts out so much vapor that I can keep it on the lowest output setting most of the time, and it's a breeze to refill — you don't even need to turn it off, just lift the lid and pour in more water. On a low setting, it will run for 10-12 hours on a single fill. It's also very quiet, so I have no trouble sleeping with it in my bedroom. Pro tip: Use only distilled water with these things. Even filtered tap water or bottled spring water will clog the membrane with mineral buildup. I use steam distilled water from the grocery (it's cheap) and have no white powder, no residue, and no problems with the atomizer." —Amazon Customer

Fomin is a small business that specializes in plastic-free household essentials.

Promising review: "I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." —woolymammoth

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical at first, my cat peed on my couch and I had tried everything else but the smell was still there. I saw an ad for this and was completely surprised it worked so well! I sprayed my couch and wiped it down and the smell is GONE! Worth every penny!" —Amy

"I love my dogs, stink and all. But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can't afford the water to wash their beds every week. I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed, and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later, after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell. 👍👍👍" —ocdmax
