    31 Products That Made Me Say, “Wait, That’s Actually Genius”

    But actually, did Einstein invent these?

    1. A hair finishing stick and cream that'll keep your wildest flyaways in place. It's like a mascara wand, but instead of combing through your lashes, it slicks your stray baby hairs down (without making them look greasy).

    2. A pack of cat-inspired furniture-protecting socks that'll save your floors from getting scuffed. They also help reduce noise, so your downstairs neighbours won't hate you if you decide to do a bit of redecorating in the middle of the night.

    3. A trio of three-pronged microfibre tools that'll get all of the dust out of your blinds and vents. They come in a pack of three, so you can leave one in your car, one in your house-cleaning kit, and one in your office.

    4. A Goo Gone pen that'll clean up gluey and gooey messes on the go. From gum to glitter, this stuff works on pretty much everything, so it'll probably become just as essential as your Tide To Go pen.

    5. A little deodorizing diva that removes odours of your microwave, oven, or refrigerator. Using it is simple: Just fill it with vinegar and water, pop it inside your appliance, and let it do its thing.

    7. A pack of transparent cat-scratching shields that'll stop your four-legged friend from destroying your furniture. Reviewers say they're easy to install, super low-key, and even work on leather chairs and sofas.

    10. A Ballcap Buddy that'll make cleaning your favourite caps a breeze. You just place your hat inside, pop it on the top rack of the dishwasher, and let the magic happen. It may seem like a silly doodad, but it'll help your hat retain its shape, meaning it won't get all wonky before you're ready to replace it.

    11. A detangling brush specifically designed for curly hair that'll cause less pain, pulling, and damage. It has over 2,200 positive reviews and people say it's a must if you have 4C curls.

    14. A jewellery-cleaning brush that'll keep your trinkets and treasures from getting dull and dingey. Reviewers say the brush tip makes it super easy to get all up the tiny crevices of your baubles.

    15. A retractable travel lint roller that'll help you defuzz and defluff on the go. Reviewers say it's ultra sticky and effective, and doesn't eat up too much space in their bags (it's about as small as a highlighter).

    16. A set of stainless steel mixing bowls that come with grater attachments and lids, making prepping and storing your ingredients a total walk in the park. The bowls have rubber handles and bottoms, so they're easy to grip and won't slide around while you're mixing.

    18. A dual-ended eyeglass-cleaning tool with padded tongs to wipe both sides of your lenses at once, and a retractable brush to sweep away dust and debris. Reviewers love that it works wonders without lens cleaner, so they don't have to carry around any unnecessary bottles.

    19. A silicone makeup brush organizer with a flexible interior that can hold beauty tools of all shapes and sizes (even toothbrushes and tweezers!). If your vanity is already organized, you can use it to hold pens, pencils, and other stationery essentials at your desk.

    20. A roll of stick-on window privacy covering that'll block out harmful UV rays and keep your nosy neighbours from peeping into your home. They're transparent enough to let the light in, so you don't have to live under the cover of darkness at all times.

    21. A expandable utensil tray that'll keep your forks, knives, and spoons separated from your kitchen gadgets and gizmos. The side pockets can be stretched out to fit even more doodads, if you're working with a ton of drawer space.

    24. A pack of gear detergent specifically designed for down jackets and sleeping bags (essential, if you have a camping trip on the horizon). It's super gentle and doesn't have any extra ingredients like perfumes, softeners, or brighteners that typically mess with technical fabrics.

    25. A pack of antibacterial bra liners to catch your boob sweat and keep it from seeping into your shirt. They'll protect your bod from uncomfortable heat rashes and make underwire bras a lot more comfortable to wear, too.

    26. A tube of peel-off eyebrow tattoo gel that'll make filling in your brows a breeze and save you from messing around with a pencil. The gel will tint your brows for up to three days, so you won’t have to repeat the process every morning.

    27. A circular silicone spatula with measurement conversions written right on it, so you never have to Google with flour-covered hands again. It's sturdy enough to cut dough, but gently enough to scrape out pots and pans without scratching them.

    28. A set of reusable grilling sheets that'll ensure no morsels of food escapes through the cracks of your BBQ. They're made of non-stick material and are a more eco-friendly alternative to aluminum foil, if you're trying to cut back on waste.

    30. A jar of banana-coloured setting powder that won't leave that dreaded white flashback that many powders do. It's great for baking and will help control oil (which is pretty much essential, now that summer is in full swing).

    31. A pack of soft and flexible flat balls that you can use to practice your technique inside and outside. Reviewers love that they don't fly far and say they're a great training tool for anyone who's prone to topping the ball.
