“Well...that would’ve been nice to know five years ago.” — You, after reading this.

I am a contributor and former associate editor who’s been contributing to BuzzFeed Shopping for eight years, as someone who’s been obsessed with shopping since my mom first unleashed me into a mall — and I've been chasing the perfect find ever since.

Promising reviews: "These stick quite well. Not too hard to put on your glasses, just go slow and try not to grab the whole thing because they are STICKY. My glasses stay on my face so much better now and they're quite discreet, not very noticeable when someone's looking at you." —M

Price: $9.97 for three pairs (available in two colors)

Promising review: "I had several squeaky doors which I hated. I knew WD40 would take care of it but had never used the pen. I purchased it, used it on all my doors and they no longer squeak. For me it was so much easier to use than the spray can. I will purchase again when needed." —Fran

Promising review: "I’m 44 years old and hot flashes are no fun which in turn makes doing anything in the heat 10x worse. I absolutely love this product because it simply works…it keeps me cool. They freeze fast and the cooling gel lasts up to three hours. If I’m wearing one and it’s not cold anymore, I swap it out for one from the freezer. I use these constantly when I’m outside and it helps keep me outside, and comfortable. I can also offer this to guests when they come over if needed. I highly recommend." —Lynzerbean

Promising review: "WOW, this product was amazing! We pour it in the grease pot where we fried hot wings, covered the pot to wait overnight to find that all the grease solidified into one large mass that was easily passed into the trash! I wonder if restaurants are aware of this mess buster? I will buy several next time for future wings night!" —ESC

This starter kit comes with the makeup melt, a tin, and a towel.

Promising review: "I have heard about this product, but didn't think too much about it. Just another thing to clean your make up brushes, what could possibly be different?? Holy moly, only EVERYTHING! I followed the directions, but putting a little bit of the liquid in the little container and dipped a heavily soiled make up brush in it. This brush was white at one time. I used it for concealer, which is thick and heavy. Needless to say, this held a lot of product in it and the brush was no longer white, but concealer color. I didn't think there was much hope. So, I dipped the brush in for a second or two, dabbed it on the little towel that was included and I was speechless. My brush was white again! That fast!! OH! And, it dries just as quick! I'm not going back to the nubby mat with "brush shampoo" and letting my brushes dry for hours, if not overnight. I cannot say enough good things about it and I will definitely repurchase!!!!!" —shopperinIL

This mat measures 17.75 inches long x 11.75 inches wide x 1.5 inches thick.

Promising review: "I'm not getting any younger. Scrubbing the floor/floorboards, behind the toilet, bottom of tub, refrigerator, lower cabinets, gardening on my hands and knees kills me these days. I was skeptical this wouldn't be thick/sturdy enough to use for all of the aforementioned tasks. Boy, am I glad I was wrong! If you're looking for a great 'kneezy,' this one is it. It's supportive, cushioned, wipes clean, and has a carrying handle. Definitely worth your time and money." —Aiko

Promising reviews: "I always get ingrown hairs on my cheek and neck after tweezing, waxing, dermaplaning, whatever. This stuff gets rid of them fast and prevents new ones." —Brittany

"Only product that keeps razor bumps away! I put this on straight out of the shower or bath after shaving while still damp. I use it under my arms and my bikini line. I apply three days in a row with not one bump in sight! It also helps keep ingrown hair at bay. Huge believer in Megababe." —CassE

Promising review: "For 10 bucks I wasn't expecting anything great but I love this little thing. It's not super duper bright but it does what I needed to which is light up my laundry room. It's bright enough for me to get to the light switch on the other side of the room and you can charge it with your phone charger or put batteries in it and it comes with some tape on the back to stick the base wherever you need to put it so you don't have to damage your walls or ceilings with nails or screws." —Sullivan

Promising review: “Mini trash can sits perfectly in the cupholder that I don't use. Perfect for the occasional candy and gum wrappers. It's so cute. You just push the lid in and drop your trash just like a big trash can." —Heidi

Promising review: “I use this for quick application to my face and shoulders when I'm out in the sun for extended periods of time. My eyes are very sensitive to most products but this sunscreen doesn't irritate my eyes. I will buy this again!" —Kate

Promising review: “I love this product. I've been using it since the first time I saw an ad for it. It smells good and works like a charm! Believe the hype!! It's great to keep if you have several people in your house and you only have one restroom; it's great to have for when company comes over; and its great to keep in your purse or luggage for when you travel." —Nicki

Promising review: “This things works for sure. Gets stubborn cat hair off my furniture so I don't have to drag out the vacuum every time. Get it!" —Victoria

Promising review: “Love these things. I've always had the hardest time keeping plants alive. I bought a couple of these for a peace lily and Christmas poinsettia and they are still alive months later. Just bought another for my new lily." —Amanda

Promising review: “Perfect fit for my microwave. Makes cleanup easier, and I also use it to lift hot glass bowls out of the microwave. Would recommend." —Walmart Shopper

Promising review: “This stuff really does work to make the brow and lash look fuller. It also comes with lash brushes and brow brushes. Great product." —Castor

Promising review: "Perfect fit! I had a large gap and this item fills it perfectly. I have a white door, and this blends in very well. Best of all, it requires no nails in my door — just slide it on and it's very secure. I used small hand snippers to cut it." —tinaat1013

Promising review: “I'm not one to write many reviews, but I got this diamond cleaner pen in the mail today and used it right away. I'm so blown away by the results, I need to tell you all to just buy this, wow! My stone is radiant cut and with those extra facets and the stone being larger, it tends to accumulate soap residue/etc. through daily wear and simply dipping it into my usual jewelry cleaner just doesn't clean it like I'd like. This cleaner pen is amazing! It has brought the diamond pretty much back to the sparkle a professional cleaning would (I last had it cleaned at the jeweler four months ago). Sorry for the long review, just buy this now!" —LuvMyGirls12

Promising review: “My tuna is so dry now! Just the way I like it before I douse it in lemon juice. I wish I'd bought one of these sooner. It fits the 5 oz tuna can perfectly." —Hola

Promising review: “I used these clips to hide all the wires to a TV. The design allows the cord to be locked in easily, the peel-off backing was easy and the adhesive is doing its job. What more could I ask for?" —Nolly

Promising review: “I've purchased one of these before for an apartment that also didn't have a garbage disposal, and that is exactly what it's intended for. It works wonderfully, and I highly recommend it for anyone who also doesn't have a garbage disposal. It's an absolute must." —Rex

Each box comes with one applicator and four gel stamps.

Promising review: "A very effective product for toilets. It easily sticks to inside bowl, with easy apply wand. These really last!! Great fragrance, keeps bathroom fresh just like a freshener." —Eileen

Promising review: "Bought several of these for all my vehicles. Made with some pretty nice black leather and fits great, stays in place as well. I won't buy any other one other than this one." —Walmart Associate

Here's how to use it: 1) moistened the cut ends of the cuttings 2) stir the cut ends in the product 3) remove excess powder by tapping on the rim of the container and 4) plant the treated cuttings in a rooting medium such as potting soil. Reviewers say it also works with cuttings placed in water.

Promising review: "This is my go-to for rooting plants. I have about a 95% success rate using this. (The other 5% is due to 'operator' error.) It's inexpensive but don't let that deter you. It takes very little to get the job done and a jar lasts for a very long time." —GWTWMOM

Promising review: "I had several screw holes in one room to fill, this was the perfect amount. I liked that the scraper and sander was included on the tube. Very convenient, would definitely buy again." —Jordyn

Promising review: “This is amazing for those super sticky labels that refuse to come cleanly off. Works on plastic, too! I poured some on the label, added a tissue on top to let it soak a bit, and then began rubbing. Eventually, the sticker became easy enough to tear off without much residue left behind. Very happy with this purchase." —PassionCat

Promising review: “This stuff worked like a charm on a muggy Omaha night at the zoo. Normally, I would have been chafing and finding somewhere to sit, rather than enjoying the miles of walking. I only had to reapply once in three hours. It's also really handy to keep in your purse because the stick is about the size of your palm. 10/10 recommend!!" —Chelsea

Promising review: "I love this iron on adhesive. I had four curtains to hem for my kitchen window and just wanted it to be quick and easy. I used two layers of adhesive since I turned the hem three times to give a good weight and nice finish. You can't see the tape through the curtains while they're hanging and they've been holding up so well even after the initial wash. Quick and simple and very effective." —anonymous

Promising review: "I was close to calling a dishwasher repair company or getting a new one because the dishes were coming out spotty and a little dirty no matter what I did. I found this product online and bought it; ONE run through and the dishwasher is working like new again! I love it. There is no strong chlorine smell or anything, either. Great product! Try it!" —Mj
