Promising review: "Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub, especially, you know...THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now I can take more baths, enjoy more relaxing warm coziness... all because of this little bit of silicone! Be careful if you have a refinished tub, as I do...remove those suctions SUPER gently and don't let them stick on too hard. Technically you're not supposed to use suctions with a refinished tub." —Anonymous

Promising review: "I’m absolutely obsessed with this! The colors are really vibrant and pretty, it doesn’t look cheap, and the fabric is really smooth and light. I wasn’t worried about ripping it or it falling down or anything, which is sometimes the case with tapestry I’ve bought elsewhere. This was so worth the price." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "I love these mules! I’ve been searching for a while for a white pair, but didn’t want to splurge on a more expensive pair. They are practically identical! They are so cute and go with so many things! Great buy!" —Emily Meyers

Promising review: "I occasionally like a glass of champagne so I keep a bottle in the fridge. This is a recent habit and I forgot about the extreme pressure inside the bottle. One night I open a bottle and pour a glass. No problem. I use the original cork and return the bottle to the fridge. Big mistake. Later that evening I open the fridge door and there is champagne dripping off every shelf. I went in search for an appropriate stopper. This device is perfect. Simply push down and clamp the metal wings around the neck. It will maintain the pressure and will not pop off. It has a pump-on top, which I don't need until it's almost empty. It's an awesome device and maintenance-free." —AC

Plus, their silicone bristles help prevent breakouts (fingers = bacteria) and are easier to clean than traditional brushes and distribute product more evenly!
Promising review: "I love these silicone brushes; they helped me keep bacteria definitely to a minimum on my face, which is the goal when you don't want acne. It also makes the products that I use last way longer, because I can get everything out of the jar and I can spread the products on my face so much more evenly." —Marisol Porrata-oviedo

Promising review: "I am in LOVE with this facial scrub. I’ve had this for almost two weeks now and I love the way my skin is glowing! I have sensitive skin so I have to really be careful with the products I choose. Even after one use, you start to see a difference. It moisturizes, exfoliates, and leaves your skin smooth. I didn’t even need to apply a moisturizer afterwards! Definitely a must-have!" —Mizza C.

Promising review: "This bodysuit has become one of my favorite pieces. I love how comfy it is and how sexy it looks at the same time. I absolutely adore the back detail.

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte Cosmetics for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like crazy and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E. Miller
Get it from Amazon for $2.49.
Promising review: "Exactly what I wanted! Hands feel very clean after wash! Highly recommend! I read other reviews and decided these had the best reviews, those reviews did not disappoint! Each sheet of soap produces enough soap to give the comfort of knowing your hands are throughly clean. We liked our first order so much that we bought 10 packs for my fiancé's work crew to help make keeping their hands clean during this pandemic! ( he’s a delivery driver/repair tech). If you have wanted to try something like this product, I highly recommend this brand!" —Clippin4you

The only time I have ever tried hair extensions before these was for prom in high school (which was 10 years ago...) and they did not look great on me. I recently saw these pop up on TikTok and had to give them a whirl, especially since they were under $20. These are super easy to apply and do a really great job of blending in with your hair. I will say it may take an order or two to figure out which color suits you best (I ordered two pairs and returned one). I am in love with using these for a volumized low pony, or a chunky side braid. They even look great mixed in with some beachy waves. If you have wanted to play around with longer hair, try these out!
Promising review: "I love how simple this is to put on. I think it's especially great if you're looking to add a few extra inches in length and/or volume/thickness to your hair! Just style your hair, throw this on, brush it out a bit and go. Super easy! I have a lot shorter hair though (shoulder length) so it too a bit more work to style and blend but I think I mostly got there! It just looks like I have layers :) A ponytail or braid would blend it even better probably. Either way I think this is great. I love how easy it is to put it on or take it off and I don't have to deal with glue or clips." —Amazon reviewer
Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four lengths/styles, and 44 colors).
Promising review: "If you’re looking to buy a pair of these slippers instead of the Fluff Yeahs by Ugg, go for it! My Ugg slippers were $100 and are nowhere near as soft and comfy as these for a fraction of the cost." —Vanessa Argueta
Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in women's sizes 5-10 and in 10 colors).
Promising review: "I regularly used the Tinkle facial razors which I thought worked well, but I just used one of these razors for the first time yesterday and OMG the amount of peach fuzz and to my surprise dead skin that came off was shocking and oh-so-satisfying. I will definitely be stocking up." —I & S. Stark

Promising review: "It's very easy to set up, and I absolutely love the soft, warm glow it adds to our room during the day or night. It's a perfect way to display the Polaroid pics I have. These fairy lights make the vibe of the room more romantic. I'm extremely happy with the cute new addition to our room! Would highly recommend." —keana trigo
Get it from Amazon for $9.33+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I, an adult woman, cannot remember the last time I bought a box of tissues for my home (though I have several purse packs?!). It may have been when I most recently had a sinus infection, which I guess was two-plus years ago. But now that I’m playing house as a grown-ass person in an apartment to myself, I’m trying to be *responsible*. So obviously buying this whimsical tissue box cover we’ve featured in a million BuzzFeed shopping posts is peak adulting.
"Perhaps the reason I’ve been so bad at keeping around a box of tissues is because tissues just look...kind of ugly out in the open. But not with this lil’ cover! Now it’s a ~design element~ that I’ll hopefully remember to keep full. For now, it’s filled with a square box of tissues I unearthed from my old apartment’s closet while packing; it's presently neatly housed inside the tissue box cover, providing the 'smoke' for the tiny chimney. The only downside to committing to this box is that I'll have to buy square-shaped tissue boxes only now. But I can live with that. And with my not-snotty nose." —Elizabeth Lilly

Get it from ShopMadeByMar on Etsy for $4.75+ (available in eight sizes and two colors).
Promising review: "This is now a staple for my kitchen. How I cooked without it before, I'll never know. Makes the best vinaigrette ever, quick pan sauces for pork, unexpected zip in dozens of dishes. Does it come in gallons? Have given it as hostess gifts several times and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Ronemus

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by this product. For very little, you receive a lot of masks and they really do make an impact. I can tell my under-eye area looks firmer and brighter after I use them. The longer they stay on, the better. Under-eye concealer applies beautifully after using them. The gel patches stick better to my small face than the paper eye patches I’ve tried in the past." —Amanda Blaum

Promising review: "The stand sits solidly on my desk and I don’t have to worry about it falling over. Very simple and well-thought-out design with the two prongs to make space for the charging cord. The silicone on the stand means I can take the case off of my phone and it will not suffer any cosmetic damage. I like how the stand doesn’t involve any clipping in or snapping together, because that often can damage the phone if it is not in a case. Very simple and useful!" —Ismeh

Promising review: "I'm an incoming freshman this fall and I bought this to add some personality to my dorm. It has beyond exceeded my expectations! I placed it directly on top of my dorm bed as shown in the display photos and am so pleased with how it looks. It fits perfectly with the grey/white color scheme I was going for and have received numerous compliments from both my friends and RAs when they've visited. I cannot stress enough how much of an 'aesthetic feel' it adds to my dorm." —jhsgf
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Promising review: "I bought these for my car and my mom's a while back and these little things are great. Since I got my license I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these it's been a blessing — I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." —Mariam Abass

It's vegan and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "My lips have been so extremely chapped for the past few months from biting my lips constantly and from the harsh weather conditions. I would constantly moisturize my lips with whatever I had (lip balms, Vaseline, you name it) and NOTHING was working, so I knew that it was time to start looking into lip scrubs. I have to say that my lips haven't felt so soft like this in so long. On the container it says to use a pea-size amount, and that really is all you need. A little really goes a long way. If you are someone who doesn't want (or doesn't have the resources) to make a homemade scrub, then — coming from a current college student who definitely doesn't have the resources or time to make their own — get this and it will be worth it!! —Shaneil

Promising review: "One bathroom in an apartment just isn't enough for two adults with a healthy colon. Enter Poo-Pourri. It is very fresh and not overpowering. It is not synthetic smelling. With most room sprays, you end up just smelling flowery poo. This masks the smell completely. I can walk in the bathroom 30 seconds after my boyfriend and only smell lemon." —Allison H

Promising review: "I ordered this cute safety tool on a bit of a whim while looking for accessories for my new car. Of course, I'll admit, as a girl who loves pink, the color caught my attention first, but upon looking at it and being an independent woman who is most often alone in my car I thought having this safety tool might not be such a bad idea. It arrived in a timely manner and looks exactly like the picture. The window breaker feature seems to be good quality. My boyfriend is a police officer and he was impressed with the quality, he even assured me that if I were attacked I could use this tool and more than likely cause skull damage. I feel great knowing that I have this safety tool in my center console if I should, heaven forbid, ever need it." —Kindle Customer

Kit includes: 24 nails to find your perfect fit, a dual-sided buffer and file, a cuticle stick, and nontoxic glue — all the essentials for the perfect mani.
Promising review: "I have never been a fan of press-ons until these nails! My natural nails have been super unhealthy recently, so I was looking for something to cover them up, and these are perfect! They were easy to apply and have lasted two weeks now, with reapplication of a few nails. I have never gotten more compliments, even from professionally done acrylics! Buy these nails, you won’t regret it!" —Abby
Get them from Chillhouse for $16.
Promising review: "I love how light these lashes feel, you can wear them all day without noticing! Personally I like my lashes really big and bold but these are great for a more natural lash look." —Brittany P.
Get them from BH Cosmetics for $2.70.
Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat 'em! These look amazing on my face like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried multiple pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas, I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were 6 stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina

I am in LOVE with these mirrors. I got them with the intention of putting them somewhere in my living room but once I was laying out my gallery wall I knew they had to be integrated in it somehow. I was so happy they offered it in two different sizes so you could pair them together because two of the same size would be overbearing. I think these would make a super cute addition to a bathroom as well to use as a vanity or jewelry tray!
Get it from Amazon for $16.50+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "This works great, much better than clips. I never knew anything like this existed, but now that I know I use it daily. It seals all plastic bags I’ve tried instantly and they’re just like how they were from the store. I’ve since bought more for my daughter and daughter in laws and they all love them too!" —Ralph
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
It's made of flexible silicone so it'll roll right up to fit in a stocking. You can use 'em to mold chocolates too!
Promising review: "They are great. I love dachshunds and to have little ones in my drink are even better. Everything about the silicone is great and it is easy to take the ice out and not have it break. I've used it for a few months and it still is holding up wonderfully." —Schmidty
