Promising review: "I use this for foot blisters and chafing legs in the winter. I've repurchased this a few times since finding it. Honestly works wonders. Love!" —Tricia

Promising review: "Those cans of pressurized air have nothing on this glob of yellow — I have no idea what it is but it is amazing. Rolled it across my computer keyboard and it looks like I just pulled the keyboard from the box. Can't wait to use it on my car, see all the dust disappear off my dash in all those crevices I've never been able to reach. Love it so much, I already ordered a second one for my office." —GKel

Promising review: "They light every time on the first strike, and they don't break. I've had trouble with other kinds which break in my hand as they are lighting — not these! I have ordered more." —Marilyn S.

Promising review: "I have a few pairs of compression socks from when I used to travel a lot, but figured new ones were in order. Looked at a ton online and checked reviews. Finally settled on these. After a few days wearing them, I am online to buy a few more pairs. They go on easy unlike some of my other compression socks. Material is like "nice dress socks." That is about the only way to describe it. The nice dress socks you wear with your leather shoes. Not "fuzzy." Compression seems to be just about right." —Dave

Promising review: "It’s so easy to use and fast! I wore this eyeliner in the dead heat of a humid Georgia Summer and even the rest of me was wilted, my eyes looked fantastic! I bought two sets — one for home and one for travel. I wear glasses so I have to get really close to the mirror to make sure I don’t misstamp but it’s really hard to mess up. I will be buying again definitely!" —Chloe H.

Promising review: "I have several clothing items that have care instructions that state "fabric softener" so I stopped using dryer sheets or liquid clothes softener. However, there was the problem with static electricity. The wool dryer balls eliminated this problem. The laundry is wrinkle-free and static-free now. I am so happy about the results of this product that I bought four more of the packages to give to my adult daughters and my sisters. I recommend this product." —Michael Nestor

Promising review: "I have used many different defoggers on my glasses in the past, all of them lacking. THIS defogger worked fantastically. It kept my glasses from getting foggy outside, inside, and when moving from inside to outside. I recommend this defogger to anyone looking to keep fog off of their glasses. Not only does it work, but it is reasonably priced. GREAT PRODUCT! So good I bought it twice so far and will buy it again in the future." —J. Weston

Promising review: "I keep coming back to this toner over and over again despite trying out others. It does a great job and has a fresh scent." —Manan Gupta
Get it from Amazon for $20.90.
Promising review: "We have a well and a water softener, but the dishes were still not coming out clean, and the hard water is the problem. This product is just great, dishes coming out shiny and clean. It really does help a lot with hard water in the dishwasher. I am on my third container and will keep using it. I was almost ready to buy a new dishwasher but the problem is the water softener and this product is helping me get better use out of the dishwasher. Really a fine product. It WORKS!" —Zipporah

Promising review: "This product works better than any I have tried to shine up my stainless steel pots and pans. It is a little difficult to remove. On occasion, I have had to utilize two applications. The end effect is a pot that looks brand-new. I liked it so much I reordered two more bottles." —Lindalou

These are dishwasher safe.
Promising Review: "I love it so much that I purchased more as gifts. Nobody likes smelly hands from working in the kitchen and I have a volunteer job that involves working with animals. I originally got one of these as it is able to be used in a zoo facility since it is just steel and isn't something involving harsh chemicals that could harm animals. It has been working very well. Once I had success there, I bought three or four more as gifts for people who cook a lot and often cook with garlic, onions, meats, etc." —CamilleElise

Promising review: "I purchased this product for my daughter because her cheeks and nose were sooo dry and chapped just a few days into winter. This stick glides smoothly onto her face and I can almost instantly see the relief it provides. I put a little bit of product on my cracked, chapped lips just to see and IT IS AMAZING! Super hydrating, long-lasting — I LOVE IT so much that I ordered one for myself the very next day. If you have chapped lips or cheeks, I highly recommend this product." —Chelsea Boyd

Promising review: "This little bear really does soften brown sugar! Since my brown sugar was essentially a collection of sugar "rocks," I had to re-soak the bear after a week to continue the process. After the second time, most of the sugar returned to original consistency. I am so pleased with this sugar bear, I bought a second and intend to buy more to give to others. Great product!" —BaMa

Promising review: "My go-to for years. I love all Burt's Bees products but this 'original' is my fave. It heals chapped lips best and feels slightly cooling. Tastes nice (not bitter) when I lick my lips. It doesn't melt as easily as other brands. I have a tube in my car, jacket, purse, nightstand and on my coffee table. I'm loyal to Burt's original formula lip balm." —Amazon reviewer

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places, we also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were, and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

Promising review: "My hair was processed and damaged, my husband would say that it feels like a straw bale. This little ampule changed my life. After one use, my hair was soft as silk, shiny, and manageable. It was completely unreal how this product transformed my hair and I knew I had to find more. I bought two boxes on Amazon and will continue to use this religiously. For something so inexpensive, it is a game changer. I now have my friends on the Rescue train and they are just as impressed." —melissa michael

Promising review: "Love these plugs! Easy to setup with Alexa too. I have Alexa rules that control these plugs by time of day and voice command. Save money on electric by turning off lights when not in use too. Very happy customer!
Bought again. These plugs are very simple to use. For the iPhone, I use the Go Smart app, and go through the stepped process to add to my network. First connect to guest wifi on phone, then proceed to add the plug, and after a few taps the Alexa app sees it on the network and adds it automatically. I then add to my routines like any other device." —Richie Madden

Read our review of the Migrastil headache relief stick!
Promising review: "I have had tension and migraine headaches for around 20 years. I have tried everything. OTC medication, prescription medication, pain injections, chiropractor etc... This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time, and they were mild. I ordered more already so I have some in my car and at home, and I bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this serum for a few months now (third bottle) I deal with adult acne and have acne scars. It’s has reduced my breakouts to almost none (except for the fun time of the month, I still get one or two), but if I stop using this, I go back to having the multiple breakouts at all times. My skin has a healthier glow, and has also reduced my one dark spot on my cheek. It’s not gone completely, but it has faded it more than any other product has. I used to sell skin care for a high end line, and had tried many other lines products when I was working in a cosmetic dept. I am obsessed with this serum and I use it daily. I have very sensitive skin, and have not had any reaction to it at all. Other vitamin C serums I’ve used in the past have caused burning and/or tingling in my skin. But not this one! I am slowly phasing out my other skin care products, and switching to Mad Hippie as I finish others off." —Jodie Newton-Drouin

This is my all-time favorite perfume (and I've tried a TON of perfumes). I am currently on my second bottle of this stuff and pray they never stop making it. It's easily become my signature scent and the bottle is so cute (which is a plus!)
Promising review: "I have never smelled a better fragrance, and I’ve been an avid Chanel No. 5, Chance, Marc Jacobs Daisy and Gucci Bamboo wearer. I truly think this scent would work on anyone. It is so fresh, clean, floral, sweet, musky, sexy—the list of good adjectives goes on and on. I’ve never smelled anything like it. This is easily the most dramatic review I have ever written, and I’m not even ashamed. I feel like You is an old-soul-in-a-new-body perfume. Reordering bottles on bottles so I never run out!!" —Madeleine S.

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first but the reviews were good and for the price I figured I'd give it a shot. My teen daughter and I used it right away after it arrived and could immediately tell a HUGE difference. I'm a smoker and coffee drinker so my teeth were pretty stained and discolored and they're very sensitive so I was worried about sensitivity (every whitening toothpaste I've tried make the sensitivity worse) but so far it doesn't seem to bother them or make them more sensitive which is a huge plus. I use it every other day and my teeth are definitely noticeably whiter! The consistency takes a bit to get used to (it obviously doesn't foam up like toothpaste) but it's much easier to use than the powder stuff. I absolutely love this stuff and continue to buy it over and over again!" —Lynzlu

Promising review: "I purchased these on a whim a few months ago, and I've bought three more packs of them for friends and family. I always used to use the Clean & Clear oil blotting sheets, but these are so much better. They feel papery, which is better than the shiny feeling of the Clean & Clear ones. They also come out of the package much easier. With the Clean & Clear ones, you were always having to use a piece of sticky tape to pick up the next sheet, but this one comes out on its own after you pull a sheet, which is great. I can't recommend it enough." —Carly

This brush cleaning shampoo is paraben-, phthalates-, petroleum-, and perfume-free. It's also hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, water-based, and made with gentle, plant-based ingredients, because after all, your makeup brushes are used on your face, so you want to be sure you're cleaning them with a natural, safe product.
Promising review: "I love how clean my makeup tools feel after using this product. It breaks down the makeup buildup and the brushes feel so soft and like new. The only downside is the bottle feels a tad small but it seems a little goes a long way so I'm happy with this product. This is my second time ordering. :)" —Kat
