I feel like I deserve the Nobel Prize in shopping for introducing you to these lotion bursts.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Each small jar comes with 36 bursts, so you can throw it in your purse or tote for on-the-go moisturizing. Just be careful about leaving them in the heat, as they all may burst and leave you with a messy lotion ball. 

Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle

Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents).

This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks.

Promising review: "I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall, especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I’d put a bandage over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don’t have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so, and this one was the best way. It does take some practice, but once attached, it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I’m a month in on the most severe toe, and no more ingrown toenail!" —Sandra L.

Promising review: "I clean for a living, so using these on the job as well as my home makes life much easier, and I can feel better about not being so wasteful. I use them for drying my hands, cleaning the countertops, and as a reusable Swiffer pad for floors. What I do is mark each one with a Sharpie. My first initial for hands and face at home, 'C' for cleaning counters and 'F' for floor. What I love about these the most is they dry a lot quicker than regular towels and washing them is super easy. Dirt and grime tends to just rinse right out. Even on the mop pads. It's incredible. Now I don't have to waste money buying the Swiffer refills. These are different to use but it's worth figuring out what works for you!! A must buy for eco-friendly cleaning!" —Joyce

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue behind, but I think overall it is amazing. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available in two other styles).

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product. Now I’m able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it’s hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I’ve only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." —Cassandra S. 

"Another product I got from TikTok. It’s a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." —Nijada

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors and in two packs). 

BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has this and says: "Finding this cup makes me feel *very in* the know, and I can't believe it's not yet a classic infant cup. Because it's absolute Glinda the Good Witch witchcraft. We originally got our baby an infant cup with a straw, but she was more interested in playing with the lid and would rarely drink from it. The day we got this she caught on instantly — her bottles were gone the same week with no tears and a healthily hydrated baby! I love that it gives her the confidence to drink from regular cups and water bottles because she now knows how to gulp. Plus, I can just throw this in a bag and go — no drips, ever! This has made our life SO easy."

Promising review: "I have several colors of this cup, and they are the best sippy cups for toddlers. I love that they don't spill, and they come in fun colors and designs. They're also easy to wash. I'll definitely be buying more colors!" —Liane Menendez

Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application, and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun, it turns purple. If you use sunblock, it starts to become clear or semi-clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times, the spot started seeing purple, and I applied sunblock again. In a minute, the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $16.49.

Promising review: "This thing actually works great. We started using it during outdoor markets, and it made a noticeable difference with mosquitoes. Normally, I get bitten constantly when we’re outside for long periods of time, but with this running nearby, it helped a lot. It’s also really easy to set up and convenient to bring along. We’ve used it at markets, sitting outside at home, and at other outdoor events, and have been really happy with it. It’s become one of those things we always make sure to bring with us now." —Paige 

Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 

Promising reviews: "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. It's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

 "Wow, does this work amazingly! I discovered this from a TikTok video, and I am so pleased with how this works. It is literally like magic; my feet have never been this soft." —Brian

My review: "My dog, Butters, absolutely loves his RuffRest! We've only used it a couple of times for actual roadtrips, but it truly does make packing so much easier. Before, we would struggle trying to stuff his house dog bed into the car. It would literally take up the entire backseat. This keeps everything compact, and we know exactly where everything is. The bed itself is actually super soft, and Butters actually prefers it over his other bed. We had both laid out for a while, and he always chose the RuffRest. There's honestly no need to have a travel bed and a "home" bed when this can do it all." 

Promising review: "Saw a friend take this on a camping trip to Yosemite a few months ago, and knew I had to get one for myself. After a few weeks of using it, I can say this is hands down the best dog bed I've bought (after having tried countless others, month after month)! Timberdog's RuffRest is incredibly simple and has so many features that make it easy to use and simple to travel with. The sherpa fleece is soft on our dog's body (they weren't kidding about the high R-Value!), and even has a built-in pillow and sleeping bag. I've been traveling with it ever since... taking it through TSA has been really easy, and the organizer detaching to hang onto the back of a door was a really great touch. One of my favorite features is the leash with reflective straps... no more losing a leash and buying a new one every few months; with RuffRest, it's an all-in-one!" —Chaitanya 

Get it from Chewy for $299 or TimberDog for $259 (available in sizes S–L and three colors). 

You can throw these in your watering can or any standing water in your backyard. They contain BTI, a bacterium toxic to mosquito larvae. The treatment lasts up to a month and treats 100 square feet of surface water. 

Promising review: "So far, this is the best method I have found to rid your houseplants of pesky flies, gnats, and other unwelcome guests. I keep half a dunk in my watering can at all times. When it dissolves (usually after a couple of months), I replace it with another. Works great on the houseplants. I tried a lot of other stuff first, and nothing compared." —private

Londontown is a small business that sells creative nail products. 

Promising review: "Londontown has become my new favorite brand. Their products really work and my nails are much better for it. After spending all the time doing a manicure, occasionally you get a smudge. NOW you can easily fix that little area, NO PROBLEM. I'm going to always buy their products, I'm hooked." —Jolie

You can reuse one tracker for up to 12 refills, or just keep it on one bottle and refill the bottle. 

Promising review: "Love these! FINALLY a way I can keep track of whether I took my pills (morning and/or evening). Whoever thought of these was a genius! I gave some to my brother as well. :)" —reader1

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (also available as a two-pack).  

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the SweatBlock product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee 

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

Other perks of the Pro2 Deluxe: it can hold up to 25 hours of battery life, and it works in the car to connect your phone in case your car still has an old aux port stereo. It comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. 

Promising review: "Bought these in July 2023 because we like to travel a lot and don’t like being “wired” to the airplane video monitors. Easy to set up, and they work flawlessly. No more wires to get tangled or to unplug when you go to the bathroom. BTW…great range as I have literally gone to the airplane bathroom while still listening to whatever I was watching. My wife has the Airfly duo SE, and I have the Airfly Pro. Pro allows two headphones to be connected and also has an aux in (haven’t used either one). Highly recommended." —Max

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three styles and four colors).

Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier, and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

Get a random color fish from Amazon for $5.98 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising reviews: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (also available individually and in a four-pack).

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

Promising review: "This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart-enable" other parts of your home. Some also add it to their kitchen appliances like coffee brewers or kettles so they can start their cup of joe without getting out of bed. 

Promising review: "I recently purchased the SwitchBot Bot to control the light switch in my bedroom, and I'm incredibly impressed with its performance. Setting it up was a breeze — just a few simple steps and was able to connect it to my Bluetooth without any issues. The SwitchBot Bot works exactly as described. With just a tap on my phone, can easily turn my light switch on or off. It's incredibly convenient, especially for those times when you forget to turn off the lights before leaving a room." —Blossom

Get it from Amazon for $24.65 (available in white and black). 

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Promising review: "So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." —Marisa

Get it from Amazon for $28.50 (available in three sizes, four colors, and two styles).

BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.

Promising review: "Who knew that a person could be genuinely excited over, of all things, an ice tray? Well, I certainly am. This thing is incredible — so simple, but so genius. I have a rather large kitchen with no ice maker in the freezer, and it's a long walk from the sink to the freezer when you've got tremors and you're trying to delicately balance trays of water across the room with no incident. Long story short, I pretty much ended up with a bucket's worth of water on the floor every single time. These things, however, have changed all that. The seal is pretty much flawless, and it keeps the lid and the water inside sealed tight. You can carry this thing to your freezer upside down, at an angle, or balanced on your head for all I care. That water still isn't going to spill out. I ordered one tray to try it out and quickly bought several more. It may seem a bit pricey when you can get several cheap plastic trays at Walmart for a few bucks, but trust me — these things are worth every cent." —Matthew

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

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 amazingly! 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 might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N. 

Promising review: "Both my husband with metal frames and my mother with plastic frames love these! My husband had a spot on his glasses with some numbers engraved that irritated the top of his ear. We thought this product would solve that problem, and it did, along with the slipping down his nose. They were instantly comfortable to wear. I decided to try them on my mother's glasses for the slipping problem, and she was thrilled, too. No problems with catching on hair for either. Great idea that works!" —Nancy A.

Promising review:  "Absolute sorcery. I have sagging skin at the jawline from weight loss. This stuff has absolutely helped! I’m really impressed. Has smoothed out the crepe paper look. Try it!" —S. Livingston

"This cream has tightened the skin around my neck beyond my expectations. I’ve been using it daily (morning and evening) for over two months and still have product left. I’ve even tried it on my face, and it gives me a bit of a 'facelift.' I’m officially a Bond girl. A bit sticky to the touch after a few hours of wear, but that doesn’t bother me. Will order again." —AP Wang

Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek...now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor." —LHD

Get them from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in three colors and two lengths).

Stretchlace is a US-based small business that specializes in elastic shoelaces. 

Promising review: "I saw these on Shark Tank, so decided to try a pair. They are AMAZING! These are in shoes that I wear for workout classes that involve plenty of stepping and cardio... my shoes do not slip or feel loose at all, but stay as snug as if they had traditional shoelaces. No more loose shoestrings, no more tying, and untying. What a great invention! Hey you little kids with Velcro fasteners, move over! Grown-up laces are here!" —Leah

Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 14 colors and in round laces). 

This rope is sturdy enough for large dogs as it's built to hold up to 300 pounds! Just make sure you tie it to a strong tree trunk or pole that can withstand excessive weight. 

Promising review: "This is perfect for a high-energy dog who wants to play and loves tug of war and/or chewing. With a new baby and both of us working full time, we don’t always get to play as often or as long as our dog would like. It seems his energy never dies sometimes, haha. This gives him something to do and always a way to play without always needing us there. Not to mention our dog pulls hard, being that he’s a Siberian husky (it’s what he’s built to do: pull). This allows him to pull hard and rough." —Sierra R 

Get it from Amazon for $16.63 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical, but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Promising review: "Just got this today and I love it! I needed something that would keep my hair up, but not pull and not pull it out when I removed it, as well as something that was comfortable and safe to wear while driving. I haven’t driven with it in yet BUT, I am lying in my bed, on my iPad with my head in the pillow and am very comfortable. My new holy grail for putting my hair up. Could not be happier! My hair is long, and moderate thickness, and it holds beautifully." —Kimberly A.

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising reviews: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —Tlong

Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (also available in two-packs). 

Note: Powdered sunscreens are best used for touching up, not as a replacement for traditional sunscreen (read more from the Cleveland Clinic). If you're looking for a good sunscreen to add to your routine, check out our roundup of the best tinted sunscreens. 

Promising reviews: "Wish I had found this sooner! Works great, and so far, the cheapest option I have found for powder sunscreen. Love that my face isn’t greasy anymore from normal sunscreen!" —Michelle

"I was using Supergoop SPF powder, but was put off by the high price along with the small quantity, so I decided to try this Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen powder. I really like it!! I like that it gives me a tiny bit of color, and I also like the beachy way it smells, plus it is more affordable than Supergoop. I couldn't swear by how much sun protection it provides, but I trust that it helps. Glad I found it, and I hope to keep reordering it in the future. P.S. At first, I didn't know how the applicator worked. I finally read the instructions that were on the box. Now that I know how to apply it, I like it even better. :-)" —Bonnie A.

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.

Promising reviews: "It works just like my Tower 28 spray. Smells the same and feels the same. It's more product and saves you money. It also comes with two lids, which is perfect for traveling!" —Andrea Benton

"Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil' glow. So in love!" —BK

My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer can vouch for these: "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far 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 a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six color combos and in packs of two or eight).

I can’t wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." —Rob

Grampa's Weeder is a family owned business from Oregon that sells tools to make weeding easier! 

Promising review: "This was delivered today and I spent the evening pulling these evil shards of death out of my lawn. It was so easy! Even my son enjoyed using it. Worth every penny. It’s very well made and pulled weeds of all sizes. This saved my back and so much time. I really didn’t want to resort to spraying chemicals all over my lawn, now I don’t have to. My family and dogs can enjoy the backyard again. If you have weeds, you want this tool." —April K 

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna
