1. A vegan under-eye brightener to help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin. You’ll look like you’ve had days of sleep…even if the truth is you haven’t slept in days. (Gosh darn, those true crime documentaries!)
This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush.
Promising reviews: “This is a game changer for anyone looking to conceal and brighten dark circles with ease and efficacy.” —sonny ౨ৎ
“I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I’ve spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I’m very pleased with this product!” —Lafinrsm
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two tones).
2. A set of silicone Kegel weights because doing pelvic floor exercises can help you better control your bladder and have more pleasurable sex.
Read more about kegel exercises at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: “Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that’s right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program, you will have results that you can feel. I think anyone who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly.” —Lady Tauber
Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.99 (also available in a two-pack option).

Promising review: “I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck, and so my phone, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river, and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County sheriff’s office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it, and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!” —Julie McDonald
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 13 colors).
5. An adjustable high-impact sports bra whose four-way stretch will help make sure you’re both comfortable and supported while you indulge in some intense cardio workouts.
Promising review: “I have had these for a few months now, so they have been worn and washed a few times. I can genuinely say these bras are awesome! It’s hard to find a good supportive sports bra that is not racer-backed or any type of crossover in the back. Those of us with heavy boobs get a headache from that type of bra. I love that they are adjustable in the back with hook and eye closures and have two of them to back up the zipper in the front. The adjustable shoulder straps are comfortable, too. This is a more affordable option than some other brands built with the same features.” —Shannon Laurence

Promising review: “This is the best cat litter product ever!!! It catches so much litter. It used to get all over, especially since our kitten is very enthusiastic about covering up her poop! Everywhere you stepped, there was litter, no matter how often I swept! Once I started using this mat, it all changed! No more litter scattering! We have a large litter box, and this mat is big enough to cover the area around all sides! It’s SUPER easy to clean. Just pick up the mat, open the top, and dump the contents into the garbage. That’s it! No vacuuming, scrubbing, washing, etc. I HIGHLY recommend this product!” —Susan R.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
9. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads with extra cushioning so there’s no discomfort while they work their magic.
Promising review: “This stuff works! I’d never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, ‘This has to work!’ Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! I bought the invisible strips, and they removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!” —Audrey N.

Promising review: “Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never looked in there, but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn’t even see the bottom. I really didn’t want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn’t expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank, left it overnight, and the next morning, I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see inside now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!” —Linda Baker

Promising review: “I was skeptical because I thought this was just an overhyped item, but within the first two days, I saw a noticeable difference in the glow and texture of my face. After a week, even more so. I already have a pretty solid skincare routine so I didn’t think this would make the big impact that it did. I highly recommend it, and it will definitely be a staple of my routine from now on.” —andy

“This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here’s what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: “I love it just after the first few days of use! 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.”
Promising review: “I’m amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn’t get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!” —Jason A.

Promising review: “I seriously want to rave about this timer/clock. It’s the funkiest, most awesome clock and timer. I bought it to GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE TO SCHOOL ON TIME. They consistently won’t be ready every morning without me hollering, ’10 minutes! 5 minutes!’ If I missed these callouts, no one was ready on time. Now, the alarm goes off, and they know what that means. I flip the hexagon to 15 minutes, then beep, beep, beep! It’s loud but not obnoxious, and everyone can hear it from the bedroom. Flip again for five more minutes. When it goes off again, I’m going for my keys. Better be ready, kiddos! LIFE IS BETTER with my ZNEWTECH HEXAGON DIGITAL Timer & Alarm!!!!” —77Keys

My lips are no longer cracked or peeling. I also use some lip scrub a few times a week for exfoliation, which helps this lip mask to work even better. Don’t hesitate to purchase this; it really has worked wonders with how dry and cracked my lips were!” —MarBella25

Promising review: “OH MY GOSH! What is this MAGIC pill? We had a drip coffee maker with a stainless-steel carafe. I thought I was rinsing it out well. One day, I rinsed it out and noticed that it didn’t look as shiny as it should. Then, in no time, it was brown. I tried a LOT of ways to clean this thing. The best would just be to scratch some of it off. Was actually thinking of buying a new carafe. Then I found this. I threw one in the carafe, according to the instructions. Left the carafe on the counter overnight. When I dumped out the water the next day, OMG! ALL of the brown was GONE. When I say gone, I mean GONE. The inside of this carafe looked like new. Maybe even better than it did new. I was in shock. I could not believe what I was seeing. AMAZING!!!!!!! If you can’t get your carafe clean, TRY THIS NOW!” —Shane

I’ve tried fancy vacuums, lint rollers, that weird yellow sponge thing that’s supposed to be magic, crawling on my hands and knees, plucking each hair one by one, but nothing works. UNTIL NOW. I cannot believe my own eyes, and I can’t wait to use this thing on every surface of the house and buy one for every dog owner I know. Seriously.

No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor.

Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let’s talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?” —Disney Diva

45. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you’ll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn’t on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I’ve tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed ’til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner’s TikTok (sorry, I don’t remember which one) and thought, ‘What the heck, might as well give it a try.’ Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I’m spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo

47. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven’t cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn’t been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it’s been needing.
Promising review: “I’m not typically the type to write a review, good or bad, but I had to for this one. Coffee from my Keurig had been tasting bad for a while, almost burnt tasting. These popped up on my Facebook and I decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed! I was surprised at how dirty my Keurig was! I did about five rounds last night before the water came out clear (one with the product and the rest just water). It was eye-opening. This morning, my coffee tasted smooth and perfect! So glad I got these, and I will definitely continue purchasing them as needed.” —Vickie Saladino

Promising review: “LOVE using this during bath time!!! It makes life so easy, and you are never wondering if the temperature needs to be adjusted since it is accurate. It lights up and alarms if the temperature goes too low or too hot, and works almost immediately upon being placed in the water. Plus, this is a super fun floating ducky that kiddos love to watch in the bath!” —Kelli G.

53. A pack of four duster sponges you simply dampen, and then you’re ready to clean! It’s that easy. Watch as it catches and removes dust, debris, hair, and stains around your home.
Promising review: “I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!” —Bryn

They turned a rather physically daunting chore into a much easier one, not to mention we spend literally less than half of the time that we normally have spent gathering up all these leaves and acorns. We are going to purchase another pair for NEXT season!! Wonderful ingenious tool! A must-have for raking chores!” —JMB

Promising review: “We are doing a lot of yard work, trimming shrubs, removing large weeds, clearing broken branches. I needed a larger container than the standard 30-gallon can. These hold at least twice that volume and because they are as wide as they are high are far easier to load with larger debris.” —nightsong
