“Pretty sure there’s magic in this.” —A reviewer, confirming the cooling powers of a revolutionary cooling blanket.

I've spent the last three years as a Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to must-have Amazon products, personal care, home and organization, and more.

And like with any retinol product, please use SPF the next day!

Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but this stuff, after one week, took away the elephant-looking skin on my knees!! And it seems to be working magic on the back of my hands. I'm a firm yes on this. I think the scent is nice — lots of reviews state otherwise. It's a floral scent and is a little sweet, but it doesn't permeate for hours; it fades. Love this." —Schwenketta

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six other formulations).

It's sleek and narrow, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room, and it looks surprisingly cool! It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed, and the LED lights turn off in sleep mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed.

Promising reviews: "Cools like magic. Great fan. It’s super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn’t think the remote was a big deal but now I wouldn’t want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." —Javygirl

"I am elderly and live in Texas, where we have 100+-degree heat on a daily basis in the summer. This is, hands down, the best and most powerful fan I have experienced. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my sister, who is heat-sensitive. She got rid of the two tower fans she was using as this fan cooled her room." —TJ

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two styles and two colors).

Promising review: "Game changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! The first time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, two times a day, my skin is so much brighter. Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since. It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." —Np

Get it from Amazon for $18.50 (also available as a two-pack).

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: "Works like magic. It doesn’t leave a white mask over your face and it’s amazing" —Mona

"I'll admit, I'm horrible at using sunscreen. Mostly because I hate the texture, smell, and white cast. Since hitting my thirties, I've been taking better care of my skin and have begun using sunscreen fairly regularly. I've tried LA Roche Posay's melt in milk sunscreen, which I like but hate that it leaves a white cast. I've recently tried Drmtlgy's tinted sunscreen, but hate the smell and felt that it didn't provide much in terms of tint. My coworker told me about Cosrx's sunscreen, and so I figured, why not give it a shot? I received it first thing this morning and used it right after doing my usual skincare routine. I must say, I'm in love. I love the smell; I love how quickly it blends into the skin. I love how it absorbs and gives you a glowing look, and best part: no white cast! It makes my skin feel hydrated. It's non-greasy, and it doesn't make your skin feel tight like some sunscreens do. This is now the 5th Cosrx product I've bought and tried, and I must say, I'm loving their entire line of products. Highly recommend." —Nia

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer agrees it's magic: "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.

Promising review: "As a nurse, I know we are picky and loyal to brands of pens and water bottles. I’ve had a Stanley, Owala, and a giant Hydrojug. This tops them all! I had ice from over 24 hours left! It fits in my car cup holder, the handle is sturdy, the straw breaks down easily for cleaning, and it’s TRULY leakproof! Yeah, the straw is exposed, but I just wipe it down with little alcohol wipes from work before I drink from it. For those who say the lid is hard to get off, you have to turn the lid to drink mode to unseal the lid, and then you can turn it. LOVE THIS!" —Dani

Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in several colors, plus a 30-ounce size).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I have a similar cooling blanket because the fabric of my couch is gorgeous, but...gets VERY hot in the summer — they can make all the difference!"

Promising reviews: "Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" —Amanda Julia Hess

"Pretty sure there’s magic in this blanket. I am a VERY hot sleeper and also am super frugal and hate cranking the AC in the south. This blanket has kept me cool night after night so that I sleep comfortably through the night and don’t wake up in a puddle of my own sweat." —S

Get it from Amazon for $23.18+ (available in five sizes and 15 colors).

BTW — These are a great swap for the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, which is pretty much *always* sold out.

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 five color combos and in packs of two or eight).

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through multiple wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison

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

Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades, a lifting option, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).

Promising review: "100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower I didn’t even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack).

Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you’re someone who’s had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" —Jess

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 making tools for gardening.

Promising review: "If you’re like me, you’re wondering if spending $40 on a gardening tool is worth it. My friends, IT IS. I’ve been eyeing this tool for some time now and finally pulled the trigger and I’m beating myself up for not doing it sooner. I have pulled 10 gallons of dandelions out of my yard in about two hours. This is pure magic. It’s actually fun to pull weeds. In the past, I would try to rid myself of dandelions with broadleaf spray but it never worked and I wasted my money. This works every time and cuts chemical use! Win-win! Just buy it already and thank yourself later!" —Amy

Promising review: "Not just hype!! Saw this product a bunch on TikTok, and I feel like you never actually know how legit those are. But I thought, screw it, I’ll try it. Idk what kind of magic they put in this bottle, but I had nearly instant results. After just one application, the next morning, things are SO much smoother and less irritated!!!" —bookreader

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

Promising review: "These underwear are magical! So amazing that I literally ordered 3 more packs after receiving the first pack to replace every pair of underwear I previously owned. The material is something I've never experienced before and the fit is perfect. They are a higher rise but not so high that they stick out, the best part is that they are seamless BUT the crotch area is cotton which makes them super breathable unlike most seamless styles. The only thing I will say is that I ordered 3 packs of large and 1 pack of medium, because I wanted the pack that came with the mustard colored ones and they were only available in medium, and I don't see much of a difference, if any at all between the two sizes due to the stretchiness of the material. I was super impressed with the quality of them as well, the material feels way more expensive than it was. Highly recommend and will continue to purchase!" —Kate

Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and nine color packs).

Promising reviews: "We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." —Steve Fadelli

"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors and in a mini size).

Promising reviews: "This is very high quality. I put this on my nails five days ago, and there is still no chipping. It feels nourishing on my nails and doesn’t have that nail polish smell. Plus, the nude color is beautiful (soft and natural). It looks like my nails were professionally done, and it did smooth out the ridges after application. Definitely recommend and worth the price." —AJ

"Magic stuff. 10+ years of horrible cuticle picking habit has damaged my nails to a point that I thought I’d never not have ridges and messed up nail beds. Seeing the deep bumps grow out of my thumbnails within one month is nothing short of miraculous." —Cameron LaSala

Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This is so much easier to use than a spackling paste. As soon as I opened it, I tried it on a recent nail hole. Now I can't remember where it was because the product made the hole disappear!! Magic!" —Deb Christenson

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!"

Promising reviews: "I just ran out and HAD to order more. This stuff is pure magic. I can clean anything with this and it’s 10x better than whatever you planned on using before you had “The Pink Stuff”!!! A must-have for cleaning supplies." —Cheyanne Botello

"What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a two-pack and in a bundle with a scrubber sponge).

Promising reviews: "I’ve used this pouch at both Disney and Great Wolf Lodge, and it worked perfectly. It kept my phone completely dry the entire time no leaks at all, which gave me peace of mind around water.

"I definitely recommend this pouch if you’re going to any water activities, pools, or trips like that. Also, buy it ahead of time! The price is very reasonable compared to what they charge at places like water parks and resorts, where everything is marked up." —Nancy

"Worked MAGICALLY well! My daughter was so satisfied with its durability and function. She was still able to text through the see-through window!" —A Gift For You

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 15 colors and as a two-pack).

Promising reviews: "I almost want to gatekeep. By far THE best dry shampoo I’ve ever used — not sure how this sorcery works, but I’m obsessed!" —Robertson

"I originally bought this for a month-long trip to Australia (that began with five days of camping without much time to stop by a store). I wanted something small and non-aerosol (because, travel), and hate applying powder by hand and didn't want to bring an application brush. The application sponge is great, and the powder itself is also magic. I was a DAILY hair washer most of my teenage and adult life, but now I can go an entire WEEK with this stuff (and other mindful habits like night braids). I really love it."—Bre

FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising reviews: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I loved after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." —Roberta

"It works like a charm. I just sprinkled a small amount of the powder over the surface of the oil and magic! When it was cold, I was able to discard a gelatinous disc." —KSD

Promising reviews: "Pure magic. This stuff blurs and conceals fine lines like I have never seen. Also stops me from being shiny and oily, but keeps skin glowy." —Tia C

"I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

It can be used on all types of surfaces, including car paint, metal, chrome, aluminum, windows, and mirrors.

Promising review: "This item was recommended by a stranger in the next RV lot at a campground hundreds of miles from home. This good Samaritan brought his bottle over, sprayed down the front of my bus, and then just wiped half an inch of smashed bugs off it! Just like magic. He then smiled, shook my hand, and left. When we got within two days of home, we ordered this, and it was delivered the day after we arrived. Again, it worked just like magic." —Hikes in Rain

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans.

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 reviews: "I hate flossing because I have sensitive gums (genetic periodontal issues). This toothbrush is magic. Brush slower, and with intention, and your mouth will feel as clean as it does when you leave the dentist." —C & A D

"This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so 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 might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack).

And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. 

Promising reviews: "This product is magic in a bottle!!! I have been struggling to find a good skincare routine that will remove my acne scars and remove dark spots on my face. I will forever buy this product! I’ve only been using this for two weeks and noticed a huge difference right away! I am so excited to clean my face in the morning and night now! I also bought the Cerave hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream and they have been amazing as well! CeraVe is the best! Don’t think twice about this product just buy it!!!" —mallory brook bravo

"I've been using this for a month or two! I definitely notice smoother skin and less breakouts. Wish I’d tried this sooner. Currently only using 2–3 times/week!" —Rachy

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: "MAGIC. HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the “chicken skin” I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I’ve ever used. I never write reviews so I had to when I got this and loved it." —Cheyanne

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors and as a two-pack). 

It comes with a bottle of shoe cleaner, two brushes (one with soft bristles, one with hard bristles) and a cleaning towel.

Promising review: "Excellent shoe cleaner in a very convenient travel size kit. The spray itself is literally magic in a small bottle. Dirt on shoes? Spray, scrub, and wipe. Stepped on wet grass? Spray, scrub and wipe. Less than 5 minutes and you got yourself clean shoes that Mom will be proud of. I was able to clean 4 pairs of shoes within 15 minutes, no struggle, no headache. This kit is perfect." —Elizabeth L.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "When I got a night guard (I'm a clencher!), my dentist recommended these very tablets for daily cleaning, and they work great!"

Promising review: "I have Invisalign retainers and had been using other products. My retainers were stained yellow-brown. Even my dentist used their ultrasonic cleaner and couldn't improve them. My hygienist suggested this product, just for my daily use, and voila! My retainers are COMPLETELY CLEAR! They look brand new! I didn't expect this at all! And there is no grainy residue after I've soaked them. It's really magic. So glad I found it!!!" —Amazon Customer

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 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 

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising reviews: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle Brown

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Amanda Davis says: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!!  The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up.  After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!"

Promising review: "Straight up sorcery! This stuff is magic and makes new shoes way more comfortable and fit like a glove! I will definitely order more in the future. This is my new secret weapon." —RockabillyKim

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I've worn these lashes, and tbh I'm never going back to strip lashes again! These look much more natural, are easy to apply, and don't budge until removed!"

Lilac St. is a woman- and AAPI-owned BTW!

Promising review: "At-home lash magic! I’ve been wearing this brand for a year now, I don’t know what I did before. They are perfection, I use their extra strength lash glue and I can easily get 10–14 days out of a set. I also use sizes 10mm-16mm for a beautiful natural look and I get so many compliments. OFTEN people think I get professional lash extensions!!! If they ever went out of business, I’d be so lost without them!! Just do it already, treat yourself. PS — Give yourself some time to adjust to this method before deciding if you like it. Watch some videos to figure out how to put them on. It’s worth it, I promise." —Stephanie R.

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 reviews: "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.

"This spray is like actual magic; spritz and grease disappears!! I was planning to replace my cooktop ($400+) because I--despite repeated efforts of scrubbing and bleaching--could not get rid of the built-up grease. As a last-ditch effort (based on reviews I read on Amazon), I tried the Dawn Powerwash spray. The baked-on grease melted. I was sincerely amazed; it didn't even take that long! I've now started giving a light spritz to my every greasy pot, pan, and plasticware lunchbox with salad dressing, and am constantly wowed at how this product cuts the oil. I'm a clean freak and massive fan. Try this product...I will be shocked if you don't love it." —Pamela Bennett

Very impressed!" —Saminyah Marcelin

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

BuzzFeeder Emma Lord says: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

Promising review: "This stain remover is amazing! It works like magic getting the worst stains out! Cleans up oils stains, stains in baby cloths, and even marker. 10/10. I didn't expect it to work as well as it does I'm so impressed and have purchased a bulk refill." —Mel

Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed, and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C.

Promising reviews: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty good. I added a few drops of baby shampoo & hot water… it’s amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it!" —Mariela

"I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner

Promising reviews: "I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it’s made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" —Blackburn's

"This stuff is seriously like magic!! Suffered from a rash for a year. The doctor gave several different medicines that did not work at all. Found this and immediately saw a major improvement." —Amazon Customer

Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!

Promising reviews: "Oh. My. Gosh. Let me start off by saying I HATE doing my hair. It's long, straight, and really fine so I just let it air dry and call it a day but that leaves it flat, frizzy, and a little wavy in the back. Well I got this puppy in the mail today so immediately jumped in the shower so I could use my new drying brush and this thing is literally magic! It dried it so silky smooth and gave me so much volume. I used it on the low setting first then high and was blown away. I will forever be drying my hair this way. I feel like a hair model LOL. So basically ... just buy the thing. You won't regret it!" —Chloe512

"I love this, I wish I would have bought it sooner. Best purchase ever and most definitely would buy again. I absolutely love how it leaves my hair, soft and shiny. I don’t even need to straighten my hair because I have curly hair care. This helps me get ready in half the time that I would have to brush it. Blow dry it and flat iron, this works." —Miriam Ramos

Many reviewers with curl types 4a-c prefer the oval brush, but if you're looking to blow out tighter curls or coils, try the Revlon One-Step paddle brush instead.

Promising reviews: "This container is a total game-changer! I am obsessed and honestly kicking myself for not grabbing one sooner. It is the absolute perfect size for whipping up 2 to 4 servings, making mealtime an absolute breeze. Since it’s high-quality glass, cleanup is a dream—no scrubbing or staining involved! Plus, the lid is incredibly secure and 100% leak-proof, so you can say goodbye to messy spills forever. It’s brilliantly simple and makes cooking feel like a win every single time." —Paul

"I cannot say enough good things about this product. You can cook whole microwave meals in this dish. It used to take me 20 min to steam veggies in the microwave. Now it takes exactly 3 minutes to steam veggies. The lid has some metal on it, but it's microwave compatible. I use the medium dish most of the time. I fill it up with vegetables, add a little water to the bottom, put the lid on and put it on 3 min. Perfect! It's magic :)" —Karen
