I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Here's what BuzzFeeder 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 product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review: "Not gonna lie, I saw this product on TikTok and thought I’d give it a try. Truly the best eyedrops I’ve ever bought. The pictures speak for themselves. That was within one minute." —Levi 

Promising review: "Good, nice, and affordable. I love everything from this brand; it works better than other super expensive products. I highly recommend it." —Rubiola

Promising review: "My family used these for a trip to California and Disneyland. They are portable and come with a carrying case, along with a brush to clean the straw. The tips of the straw were soft. I prefer these over paper straws any day. There is no taste with these, and I love that they are reusable. There were many colors, so I could divide them up among my family, and there was no confusion as to whose straw was whose. Love them.💜" —Heidi Velasquez

Promising review: "I have been using this deodorant for a while now, and it has become a staple. The clinical strength formula kept me dry and odor-free for well over 24 hours, even on the most active days. The Summer Rose scent was light and pleasant without being overpowering. The soft, solid formula went on smoothly and did not leave white marks or residue on clothing. I kept repurchasing because it consistently worked better than anything else I had tried. Highly recommend for anyone looking for all-day protection." —BusyMommyOf5

Promising review: "I have battled problems with my feet for over 25 years. Due to my obsessive running, I had infections and cracked feet that were painful and ugly. I have spent thousands of dollars with doctors trying to heal my feet. After the doctors did all they could do, my feet were better, but I could not completely eliminate the dryness and cracking. I have tried dozens of creams, pedicures, rasping, wrapping, and on and on. After one month with this cream, my feet look normal. Because of my schedule, I put the cream on after my morning shower and then put my socks on for the day. After 25 years, I have normal feet! I wanted to share this information with others like me who have struggled with their feet like I have. Give it a try!" —E. H. Jones

Promising reviews: "This thing is fantastic! I knew I wanted to use it with my kids, but hadn’t really figured out how; one of my kids is now using the light as a comfort and the breathing rhythm to slow herself down to go to sleep!" —Sadiesketch

"This little cloud is too cute! It lives on my kid’s shelf, and when they’re struggling with big emotions, it has proven to help them breathe and calm down. (Of course, sometimes they’re too angry to want to use it, but when they are willing, it helps!) One of my kids enjoys turning off the light before bedtime and doing some slow breathing just because. I think it is a useful tool for adults, too. I recommend you give it a try!" —LES

Promising review: "I don't usually like hard candy until I found Orang Flavored Creme Savers. Sad to say the stores in my area stopped carrying all flavors of Creme Savers. I have been watching out for them but until I saw them on Amazon I thought they were no longer made. I bought a bag and was glad I did. They taste great. Will buy more." —Donald

Promising review: "I’m so happy with this long-sleeved mesh shirt! It’s perfect for layering and adds a stylish touch to any outfit. The size fits true to size and isn't too tight. The quality is great — lightweight yet durable, and it’s comfortable to wear all day. I love how breathable and versatile it is, making it ideal for any season. Overall, it’s a great addition to my wardrobe!" —Shannon Hudge

Promising review: "I live with chronic lower back discomfort and the Icy Hot combo is perfect for me. The original made it hard for me to fall asleep because of how intense it was, but it was perfect for the day. The Nighttime Recovery was able to help me relax and get to sleep peacefully and without distraction. Great combo!" —Squid

Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then, when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall." —J.B.

Promising review: "I am so big into this look. I now have four of them, all in different colors and lengths. I got the XXXL just to be on the safe side, and there is plenty of fabric if I want to cross the front and belt it. It falls to mid thigh in the back (the front curves upward). The first time I wore it, I got a LOT of compliments. I am very, very happy with this!" —annieb

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this scent! Reminiscent of the '70s Wild Strawberry Musk, it's a treasure to soak in a hot bath with Strawberry Serenade. I feel like I'm being transported back in time while my aches and pains slowly start to fade and relaxation begins... I would love to see this scent become unlimited and more products like candles and lotions become available!!! ;)" —The Rusty Redhead

Promising review: "Love this setting spray for the price and the SPF protection. It leaves a dewy finish and makes my makeup last all day! I put it on after I finish my makeup, but it would also be good as a primer." —AMel065

Promising reviews: "We love these! I buy more every year because i end up giving them away to people when we go camping! We keep one everywhere, in the car, the beach bag, the camping supplies." —G G

"I saw this one on the Shark Tank and ordered it right away. When I go on vacation the bugs love to bite me all over. This tool uses suction to take the venom right out of the skin taking away all of the irritation and redness. I was surprised at the suction power of this tool, it felt like it was working immediately. There are two sides to the tool, but I always used the larger side. In a week on vacation at the beach we used it about a dozen times. It worked every time and if I had more i easily could have sold them along the beach. Another Shark Tank gold item!" —Kevin B.

It has three different brightness options so you can set *~the mood~* perfectly. It also requires AA batteries, so be sure to pick those up as well.

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings, to adjust the amount of brightness you need. Lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. Brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. We decided to try and play outside. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

Promising reviews: "I just love this brand. It's 65% cotton and has plenty of designs to pick from. I will be ordering more. These are very, very comfortable. Love the comfort and quality for the price. Because I'm on a very fixed budget. 10 star in my books." —Sheryl

Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 30 minutes, and then rinse.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both turned black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out completely, without even needing to scrub. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I primarily use to store my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush onto the gem to clean! Especially great if you need to clean off all that extra sunscreen you've been using. (Look at you go!)

Promising reviews: "Saw this product on TikTok (I know lol). I didn’t think my ring was that dirty as I haven’t had it for a year yet, and it wasn’t until my wedding band came in that I realized how dirty my ring was. One quick clean with this and my ring looks better than brand new! Will be repurchasing when this one runs out." —David Barnes

"Once I rinsed my stone, the original sparkle was revealed; it looked just like the day I received it! Even the silver mounting was left shiny and undamaged. My ring is not expensive by any stretch by the imagination, but this cleaner made it look like a million!" —Joyce S.

Promising review: "I can't believe how much I love these shorts. They're truly buttery soft. I want to wear them all the time. I haven't worked out in them yet because I'm enjoying them too much as lounging shorts... But they're not see-through or anything, so I'm sure they'd be fine for a workout, too. If you're questioning buying these, do it!! They fit perfectly." —Jamie Florack

Promising review: "I like this spray. It smells really good and it's small, but great to put in your purse in case you go into someone's house and use their bathroom and don't want to leave a smell. I love this brand so much, I went online and got a bigger bottle. I would highly recommend it because it really works great." —kiarakewna

Promising review: "My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." —Jacqueline

Promising review: "Okay, I did not expect to fall in love with a tiny frog in a chair, but here we are. This little guy is sitting there with his coffee and his book like he pays taxes and worries about deadlines. Absolutely adorable. My new office is supposed to be all green and gold… But I had to make an exception for this frog. Bright green and yellow can still be classy, right? Right?? 😂

The piece has a nice weight to it (resin, not flimsy), and the texture on the chair is surprisingly fancy. Also, FYI: it comes in two pieces — the frog is separate from the chair — so don’t freak out when you open the box. It is small, so please, for the love of Amazon reviews everywhere, read the dimensions before you buy it. Don’t be that person who ignores the description and then leaves a grumpy review. 10/10 recommend. This frog is living his best life, and honestly? I respect that. 🐸✨" —Deanna P.

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love these 14k gold-plated drop earrings. They have a trendy bold look. Lightweight, which makes them easy to wear all day. The gold finish looks polished and more expensive than expected (more gold than yellow, which I like). Great everyday statement earrings that pair well with both casual and dressy outfits." —Olivia Wiest

Promising review: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Promising review: "Tree Hut never misses, but this Vanilla Body Scrub is on another level. The scent is amazing! Warm, sweet, and so good it feels like a dessert for your skin. The texture is the perfect balance: strong enough to exfoliate from head to toe, but gentle enough to leave your skin soft and hydrated. After rinsing, my skin feels clear, smooth, and moisturized with no residue. This scrub is a full self‑care moment. I highly recommend." —Ronnie Pettiford
