1. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant because it's top-rated for providing awesome results in smoothing and clearing skin. It's got over 36,000 5-star reviews and (thankfully) comes in a 1-ounce mini version too!
Promising review: "Best skincare product I’ve ever bought. It make my skin noticeable 10x smoother and gets rid of texture within HOURS!!! Great if u are dealing with congested and textured skin and acne. I bought the small travel size but once I’m out, I will definitely repurchase in full size. When reviews said that this is a miracle in a bottle... IT REALLY IS A MIRACLE IN A BOTTLE. I love this product so much. It also feel quite moisturizing and not drying to the skin at all." —mwag01
Get it from Amazon for $13 (available in two sizes).
2. LilyAna Naturals' eye cream that can help you hide how tired you really are after such a long week. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake).
Promising review: "Best eye cream I have ever used!!! Better than Benefiance by Shiseido and Clinique or Lancôme, for less than a third of the price with the amount you get. It is rich enough to do the job but not greasy. It doesn't interfere with concealer, yet softens lines. Love it so much!!!!" —Lory Lacy
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
3. A reusable exfoliating Japanese towel if you need an easy, relaxing way to remove dead skin and soothe skin conditions like eczema or keratosis pilaris. Use the towel in the shower to reveal super soft and super clean skin when you step out.
You can use this daily or weekly depending on how you feel about its abrasiveness.
Promising review: "This is a holy grail to my sensitive skin and germaphobic personality! It does take time to get used to due to its rough feel, but once you start to use it daily, it's hard to use anything else! Nothing else gives me such a clean feeling on my skin during my showers. I use to have very bad skin conditions all over my body: eczema, body acne, dry patches, and dark spots. This helped clear basically everything, and now I'm more confident in showing my skin in public than I have ever been. It soaks up very nicely, and you can feel all of the dirt that's on your skin from day-to-day activities getting scrubbed off. The long length is great for reaching in hard to reach spots, such as your back. Since it's extremely rough, I would advise against using it on your face." —Jay G.

4. Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for when your plants are in that struggling stage. They literally feed your plants for you — it doesn't get any easier than that.
Promising review: "Fast-forward to finding these plant sticks on a BuzzFeed article and popping them into the soil, which took...30 seconds...and seeing fresh, green growth within the first couple of days. The plants look better than ever and the spikes were so easy to use. You can't see them, you can't smell them, they're simple to handle, and nearly foolproof. Very pleased with them." —Amazon Customer

5. Elizavecca Collagen Hair Protein treatment that's basically just a bottle of magic. Say goodbye to frizz and grease after just 10 minutes with this in your hair!
Reviewers with thin or fine hair LOVE this hair treatment, and various hair types from 3b–4c say that it helped their damaged hair. Even folks with dyed or bleached hair says it's safe to use. TL;DR: It works!
Promising reviews: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire
"Y'all my hair came out so shiny and smooth, less frizzy, and all-around more manageable. My hair is thick, dark, and curly (3c type), medium length, and I highly recommend you give this hair mask a try to salvage your hair." —Amanda Rogers
Get it from Amazon for $7.20.
6. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.
Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
7. A teeth-whitening pen because it's easier and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes. With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done.
Promising reviews: "No bad taste for whitening was really hard to come by, that was until I tried these magic working pens! Easy whitening and no bad taste is 5 stars in my book!" —Angel Cakes
"I love this magic pen!! Brightens and whitens!!! It works! Love it!" —GK
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
8. A vegan ingrown hair oil to treat and prevent those itchy red bumps that may appear after you shave or wax. (And yes, it can be used down there too.)
Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz with a special focus on the pubic zone(s). Their result-driven collection of products targets such grievances as ingrown hair prevention, dark spot treatment, and razor burn relief.
BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman uses this to stay smooth after shaving:
"I just recently received a sample of this lovely stuff, which is from an Ottawa-based small business, and I have already seen a difference in how my bikini line looks after shaving! I always struggle with razor bumps in the down-there area specifically, but this oil helps keep it soft, smooth, and bump free! The brand recommends applying it right after getting out of the shower, and you can even use it to spot-treat ingrown hairs. I'm pretty ~scent~sitive to smells, and the tea tree scent is really lovely and refreshing (it smells like a spa)! I also love the pump-style dispenser, so I don't make a greasy mess every time I use it — which, from now on, is gonna be pretty much all the time. I'm sooo excited to wear swimsuits this summer without all the bumps and irritation!"
Get it from Amazon for $26 or straight from Bushbalm for $26.
9. A scalp massager made to cleanse and exfoliate your scalp. The soft, thick bristles feel SO relaxing and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp.
Promising review: "I’ve had bad dandruff for a while now, think it was brought on by stress. I’ve used both medicated and prescription shampoos , and nothing seemed to provide any more than temporary relief. Read about this in a BuzzFeed article and figured I’d try it. I just scrub regular Selsun Blue in and then scrub it out. Totally works and I’ve had way less itchiness and flaking, highly recommend." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
10. TruSkin Naturals vitamin C serum, an easy and cruelty-free way to give you skin everything it needs to be brighter and softer. This serum leaves skin moisturized and can help dramatically fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Promising review: "This product saved my skin. I seldom write reviews but just had to review this product. I’ve been struggling with acne for YEARS. I have very acne-prone skin. I get a new pimple almost every day and it seemed like there was never a time I didn’t have a pimple on my face. Acne leaves super dark blemishes/scars on my face. I’ve tried all different types of moisturizers and cleansers. Nothing worked. However I bought this serum on a whim. OMGGGG. Guys. Literally my face stopped flaring within three days. I was PIMPLE-FREE FOR MORE THAN 48 hours (a new record). Exactly two months later, blemishes have faded DRASTICALLY and I have no active breakouts. This hasn’t happened in years. I truly and honestly think it is due to this product. If you are hesitant, don’t be, BUY IT! It has also helped my under eye bags (use one drop for both under-eyes; pat gently with fingers.)" —Brandon
Get it from Amazon for $21.97 (available in two sizes).
11. A Braun epilator because it takes hair removal to a new level by removing it at the root so it last for several weeks, not just two or three days. It has massage rollers and two speed settings for customizable comfort!
Promising review: "It hurts but it works :) I haven't shaved my legs in months and used to have to every three to four days. I've seen the best results on my armpits; I used to shave them every other day but since I epilated two weeks ago, I've seen no hair growth and no hair shadow. Way more convenient than waxing, too, because you can target individual shorter hairs as they grow in rather than waiting for everything to grow back a certain length. Also IDK if this is true, but my grandma told me that after she used an epilator for five-ish years she pretty much stopped growing hair. It also hurts less every time you do it, so don't get discouraged by the very painful first session." —k3upikachu
Get it from Amazon for $28.
12. A tube of the bestselling Lash Princess mascara for dramatically long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. This mascara has over 144,000 5-star reviews for a reason!
Promising review: "I have tried every single expensive mascara and this one tops them all. Sometimes I use a different wand with the formula but I will still buy this over anything else. I saw it in a BuzzFeed article and bought it based on all the positive reviews. I love it, my roommates use it all the time, crowd fave for sure, and it even stays on when you need it to, doesn't flake, and with a makeup wipe isn't impossible to get off." —schyler
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
13. A cooktop-cleaning kit to get your electric stove top looking like new again. It comes with everything you need including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool.
Promising review: "Works amazing! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B. Swartwood
Get it from Amazon for $16.48.
14. A toilet bowl ring remover because *no one* wants to see that every time they use the bathroom. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done.
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. Tried it this morning and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
15. A set of Wad-Free pads which can prevent your sheets from tangling in the wash, catching other clothes, and not actually drying. These will save you from having to run the dryer twice.
Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.
Promising review: "Honestly, I had my doubts! But, BuzzFeed kept showing me this product. And, washing and drying sheets was an annoyance: the sheets would take over the washing machine and get tangled in the dryer, causing EVERYTHING in that load to take forever to dry. No longer. I used these for the first time yesterday and ZERO tangles. The load dried in normal time. AND I get to support a woman-owned business?!?! Perfect." —Michelle Williams
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of four).
16. The Mighty Patch Surface (big brother to the OG pimple patch) to help those pesky zits disappear overnight. These babies are large, so if there's a huge area that needs attention, you can hit it in one fell swoop. It's perfect for that *one* area that breaks out the most like your chin or cheeks. Bonus points! They also prevent picking and acne scarring. Simply apply the patch right on top of your pimples in the evening and the rest is history.
Hero Cosmetics is home of The Mighty Patch. The brand is woman-owned and Asian-owned, founded by current CEO Ju Rhyu. Since their Might Patch launch in 2017, they have evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!
Promising review: "I have this very weird rash and whitehead outbreak whenever I am ovulating every month. Of course I get this right before I have a date. I used this once for a few hours and the rash totally disappeared and my nose looks about 90 percent better. I can’t wait to try these again tonight. I never leave reviews and just had to for the amazing-ness that is this patch." —kyleagogo
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
17. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets because soap and water is NOT enough to clean bottles and tumblers (sorry to be the bearer of bad news). These will make washing bottles much less of a hassle.
Promising review: "I have a thermal coffee pot that is aluminum on the inside. My hand can barely fit inside to scrub it. It is very hard to clean. I have used scouring powder and those eraser sponges to help me remove the coffee residue build up inside the pot, but have never been able to remove it all. I put two of these tablets in the pot, filled the pot with hot tap water, and let it sit for several hours. You would not believe how much stuff that this cleaned from the pot. A little of the coffee stains remained in the pot after I dumped out all the water; but what remained was very easy to remove. I 100% recommend this!" —Kindle Customer
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8.
18. A bottle of SolarOil Nail & Cuticle Care to keep your nails healthy and clean every day of the year. It's infused with jojoba oil and vitamin E, both of which are extremely beneficial for your nails! 💅
Promising reviews: "I didn't know you could repair your already-grown nails. This is magic. Fixed my peeling nails in a few days. Love this product." —AmandaC
"My skin is dry, I suffer from hang nails, chew my dry cuticles, they tear, etc. etc. etc. I've tried SO many products over the years, with no real results. Finally bought this after a BuzzFeed list recommended, and I have to say, the buzz ahem is REAL. This stuff is easy easy easy, smells good, absorbs quickly, and my nails are effortlessly tidy and growing and looking best of my life! Full disclosure: I'm also using Ella+Mila First Aid Kiss, and I think that's also helping. But this oil is half the battle at the very least. Winning!" —MsTerry
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
19. A foot exfoliation mask that peels away dead skin, calluses, and buildup for baby-smooth skin. Sign. Me. Up.
To get your foot nice and smooth, slip on the foot mask and leave them on for at least an hour (some reviewers recommend just throwing socks over the mask to keep things secure). After you remove and wash your feet, you'll see your dead skin and calluses begin to peel a few days later — if you've got a lot, It'll look something like the pics above. The gross (but oddly fun?) part is watching the process as you slowly make your way to super-smooth feet!
Promising review: "Purchased it based on a BuzzFeed recommendation and worked as described. After the first week it was quite weird to see the peeling, which lasted about 7–10 days, with some minimal peeling afterward. Not the prettiest sight to say the least...I go for mani-pedi regularly and this product removed all the hard skin, thought to be there forever. It will look weird but well worth it!!!" —Brownie
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in four scents).
20. A bottle of Folex spot remover to make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.)
Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years, and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multiple packs).
21. A liquid tartar remover that's basically mouthwash for dogs. It's especially great for dogs who won't let a toothbrush near them.
Promising review: "I have four dogs. My biggest dog has the worst bad breath. I've tried treats and other things but nothing else has worked. Looking at alternatives, I came across dog mouthwash. The idea of drinking mouthwash is weird, but be my guest to teach your dog to swish and spit out. I've also bought Nylabone toys for my dogs and know they make great products. I've been using this mouth wash for all four of the dogs, and I have to say there has been quite an improvement in their breath and tarter buildup on their teeth. I put two cap fulls in about 32 ounces of water and the dogs gulp it down; they seem to enjoy the taste as well. So about two months in, I have a little less then a 1/2 bottle to go and the dogs' breath is much better, especially my big dog." —DH
Get it from Amazon for $10.59 (available in three sizes, three textures, and for dogs or dogs/cats).
22. A set of Drill Brushes for those who are finally ready to clean out all of the grout in tiles, stoves, countertops, grills, and even gutters.
OK, so the drill is NOT included. This is just a set of three brushes that attach to your drill, or check out this one you might wanna buy.
Promising review: "I have spent a lot of time trying to scrub the mold and mildew off my bathtub by hand, but to no avail. Then I saw this product advertised on BuzzFeed and thought I'd give it a try. It's less than $20 and worth every penny. I highly recommend this product if you have a good drill and a dirty bathroom." —Stephen T. Shore
Get them from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in six colors).
23. Bread Beauty Supply Elastic Bounce Cream to get the spring back in your curls, and the super soft feel that comes with it. This cream helps restore even the driest, frizziest hair back to its healthiest state. You won't be able to stop looking in the mirror!
Bread Beauty Supply is a Black woman-owned small business that creates amazing haircare specifically for those with curl types 3a–4c.
Promising review: "This curl cream is really it. I have tried different ones before but I feel like this one leaves my hair bouncy and moisturized. I really like the smell, too — it's so sweet, makes me want to eat it hehe. I like that a little goes a long way and the packaging is really great size so it would last a long time." —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $12+ (originally $16+; available in two sizes).
24. Olaplex's Bond Maintenance set that'll provide a salon-like hair treatment right at home. This set comes with conditioner and shampoo — both made to strengthen and nourish your gorgeous locks.
Reviewers with thick and wavy hair (2c like the reviewer below) love this Olaplex shampoo and conditioner combo. And reviewers with straight hair (1a–1c) say it's great for getting softer, shinier hair!
Promising reviews: "As someone who has dyed their hair MANY times, this shampoo/conditioner combo quite literally brought my hair back to life. Super soft and gentle, but also has returned so much moisture and repaired every end." —Tyler
"Let me start out by saying I have naturally curly/wavy hair – think thick 2b/2c hair. I have tried so many brands over the years, but I struggle with frizz a lot even when it is moisturized and healthy...I was really reticent to spend the money on the shampoo and conditioner set, but I'm so glad I did. My hair has never been silkier, smoother, or healthier! The product is so incredibly concentrated, it takes very little to use it (and I have mid-to-long length hair). In fact, I just reordered the shampoo after using the same 8oz bottle for nearly 6 months. I now use this line almost exclusively... Please, please, consider investing in this. You'll be surprised how long it lasts and your hair will thank you!" —hodagkins
Get it from Amazon for $45.
25. Glisten disposer cleaner to get rid of the nasty grunge and odor-causing buildup from every part of your garbage disposal — blades and walls included! It's less work for you, and I've gotta admit the foaming effect is pretty satisfying to watch, too.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." —khrystyne torres
Get it from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in four and 24-packs).
26. A cable organizer box that'll hide all those annoying wires and that huge extension cord that's always in the way.
Promising review: "This made a corner with lots of cords, much more appealing! We were able to stuff all those cords inside and hide them away! Box is cute too!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three sizes and two colors).
27. A bottle of cult-favorite Thayers Facial toner to soothe skin and reduce dark spots. The rose petal ingredient is perfect for those with sensitive skin, too. (Take it from the 16,000+ 5-star reviews.)
Promising reviews: "I've been using this everyday for about nine months as a toner in my skincare routine and I've seen a tremendous difference. My dark marks and acne have gone sway tremendously...I also dealt with fine bumps and textured skin and it greatly reduced that as well. My skin is almost clear. I'm almost on my third bottle of this. I'm never letting this go. I also use it after I shave my legs and 'down there' (not inside of it just pat it on the perimeter) and it prevents any bumps or irritation that may occur. No complaints whatsoever. If you want an all natural, multi purpose, affordable toner product this is for you." —Sue Craig
Get it from Amazon for $10.95. They also come in a very handy pad version.
28. A shampoo made specifically to moisturize your scalp and promote hair growth! It includes ingredients like biotin, keratin, and zinc that are known to work wonders for hair.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "This shampoo is like NOTHING I've ever tried in the past. The way my 4c hair comes out after using this is INCREDIBLE. Soft easy to comb and super manageable. I've been using it for two years!" —Jae
"I have had problems with my hair for YEARS. ALWAYS OILY, ALWAYS looking unkept. This shampoo has been an absolute miracle for me! I look totally different if I don't use this shampoo so I wash my hair everyday with it now or it gets oily again. I have looked for so long. I have fine straight hair [1a/1b] with a lot of it. I have a lot of deficiencies. Seriously, just try it." —Charlotte
"I am a woman with long 3c curls and coils, I had been through a lot of stress and it caused hair breakage and thinning... This is a great shampoo for breakage and hair stress thinning. The very first thing I noticed is a pleasant clean scent, not overpowering, not too medicinal smelling, doesn’t linger to effect your overall scent. The second thing is, when you require a lot of conditioning for dry or frizzy hair you get a lot of buildup, but you don’t want to use a strong shampoo because it will strip your hair of necessary oil and knot up. This cleaned away the buildup but felt so natural and gentle, no extra knotting, and my hair texture felt so much better...After the first week I noticed a definite decline in breakage and fall out. The longer you use it the stronger your hair gets. I’ve finished my first bottle now, and while my longer hair feels better, my roots feel thicker and stronger like when I was a teenager and it was super healthy." —Kristina
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in two sizes).
29. A black car scratch remover when you want to avoid the auto shop and their high prices. This remover will make the scratch from that one unsuccessful parallel park go away.
30. A jar of CeraVe moisturizing cream, a fan favorite that uses ceramides and hyaluronic acid to moisturize and treat dry skin. (Not to mention that this huge 19-ounce tube will last forever!)
The moisturizer is fragrance- and oil-free. It's also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.
Fellow BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle loves this moisturizing cream!:
"Since the spring, I've been dealing with stress acne that I never had before in my life. I resorted to an acne cleanser and spot treatment but those products are typically drying (because they're literally meant to dry out the blemishes) SO this moisturizer has been super key for ensuring my skin doesn't dry out while I try to clear up the pimples. Aside from it living up to its 24-hour hydration promise (game-changer), it has also never broken out my sensitive skin and actually helps soothe the many skin irritations that I experience. In short, it's my holy grail and CeraVe better not ever stop making it. 😊"
Get it from Amazon for $17.78.
31. The Flick Stick's winged eyeliner stamp because it'll give you the ~perfect~ cat-eye look in seconds. No need to carve out 15 minutes of your getting-ready routine to create identical, perfectly symmetrical winged liner on your own. This stamp is pretty much a one-and-done type of situation (and I'm here for it).
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovior Beauty.
Promising reviews: "Dude where has this product BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! It's a total game changer to my morning routine. I was never the worst at cat-eye liner, but I was certainly far from the best. It’s super difficult to get perfectly matching wings, and for me, it was especially difficult if I’m running short on time to get out the door... which is pretty much always lol. With this pen? Under a minute tops. Perfect wings every time. Stamp, stamp, line, done. It stays on all day and does not budge... The color is a dark black matte without having to go over the lines multiple times. The pen tip has just the proper balance between firmness and give... I can’t believe such an inexpensive makeup item is so wonderful. I will never go without this product. Love, love, love, LOVE IT :)" —Alexis Bailey
"I got the triple pack and I am so happy with all of them. The biggest size was not crazy or too big it was actually what I do for my day today. Using the stamp was so quick and easy I got it on my first try and I am not very coordinated at all. It is fool proof! It’s a staple in my daily routine now." —Christina C
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three sizes).
32. A leather restoring polish that'll have your home feeling brand new with all the shiny, restored things laying around. It can be used on everything from furniture to bags and shoes!
Promising review: "My dogs like to scratch my new leather couch, and has made scratch marks on my beautiful leather sofa and loveseat (something about basset hounds). I used this stain of blue on my leather furniture and it completely masked the scratch marks. I does dry darker, but barely a half shade darker and is not noticeable to the unknowing eye (my neighbors said so). I would by more again, worth the price! Shipping was fast. Thanks." —Robyn
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in 15 colors).
33. A jar of 10 toilet bowl bombs with refreshing scent options like blood orange, and eucalyptus. These babies are made with a blend of ingredients that specifically removes mold and brightens surfaces. It can be used to clean bathtubs and sinks too!
I've been using the blood orange scented bowl bombs for a couple of months now, and OMG they smell amazing! Like, right when I opened the package. After during a thorough cleaning of my bathroom I always pop of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one. It's also helpful that the packaging is plain ole adorable and I don't have to hide or store it anywhere!
Viren Apothecary is a woman-owned business based in Wisconsin that sells eco-friendly cleaning essentials.
Promising reviews: "Literally can’t tell you how worth the wait these toilet bombs are! They smell absolutely incredible but not artificial, and they WORK. I have a new baby and two other kids, and my house is basically a biohazard because I’m short on time and energy. I just plop one of these puppies into the toilet, come back shortly and scrub, and they glisten. Even my husband, who has never voluntarily cleaned anything in his life, will clean toilets because the fizzers are fun. I was part of the BuzzFeed order rush, and so there were significant delays, but the communication was awesome and so friendly! Even though I had the long wait, it was absolutely worth it, and they have a customer for life. I’m so excited to try their other products!!" —Teresa Cambria
Get it from Viren Apothecary on Etsy for $9+ (available in blood orange, eucalyptus, or unscented).
34. A set of satin pillowcases to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!) and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.
Promising reviews: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key
"I was a little skeptical that a pillow case could make much of a difference with my hair, but I recently bleached my hair at home and fried it slightly, so I bought these as part of a multi-pronged plan to heal it. I woke up this morning after using them for the first time and my hair is legit less frizzy. Not just not more frizzy, but less frizzy than when I went to sleep. I'm blown away. I just ordered three more sets." —Anne Allen

35. A Schick Silk Touch-Up Tool that will literally make your skin feel brand new. This set comes with a handy pack of three, making it easy to remove unwanted facial hair, dead skin cells, and shape those brows if you want to as well. Step away from the painful tweezers!
Promising review: "I found these from a BuzzFeed article about helpful Amazon products. I was excited because I often struggle to shape my eyebrows with tweezers and don't want to pay to get them done. They lived up to the BuzzFeed hype — they're painless, easy to use, and work well. The only downside is that I have some very fine hairs that the blade will skim over. I also didn't understand what the additional cover was for until I realized how difficult it is to shape my eyebrows without the blade getting close to my eye. So make sure not to throw that piece out!" —JLW
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94.
36. A jewelry-cleaning pen to turn your cloudy diamond rings and necklaces into a crystal ball clear enough to see though. Once the shock of these results wear off, I'm sure you'll be rocking your jewelry like it's just out the box.
This cleaning pen has soft bristles for gentle cleaning, and is filled with a cleansing and polishing solution that removes dirt and oil, and fills in scratches, making jewelry as good as new! All you need to do is twist the bottom of the pen and start brushin'.
Promising review: "Amazing sparkle!💍💎 I am obsessed! I have an heirloom diamond set high in a solitaire band and it gets dirty quickly. This worked awesomely and cleaned my ring back to a sparkler in 30 seconds! It looks as good as it does when it gets cleaned at the jeweler! I love that it fits in my purse too! Recommending it to all my friends!" —Shyan
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
37. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo that'll clean the sponges that touch your face every day! I shutter at the thought of these going unclean for months, but this shampoo will cleanse your brushes and blending sponges so easily, the long timespans of dirty makeup tools will be long gone. It can extend the life of your applicators *and* save you from irritated skin.
Promising review: "Best, most affordable brush and sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything; even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." —Lily
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available as a pack of two and with dissolving cleansing cloths).
38. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for when you need to deep clean the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while!
These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review: "I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty looking...but I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." —Christine Doan
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
39. A suede and leather brush to get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home!
Promising reviews: "This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." —TRW
"This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it on the same direction until the stains wore off." —Lissette Castillo
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
40. A gel nail polish kit that comes with everything you'll need for salon-quality nails right at home. Will you ever want to go back to a real salon? Who knows. But you'll get nonstop compliments after each new mani. 💅
This is 19-piece set includes: six gel polish colors, two topcoats (glossy and matte), base coat, cuticle fork, push, oil, nail file, nail buffer, nail clippers, LED UV nail lamp, and MORE.
Promising review: "This is my first UV-cure gel polish kit and I don’t know why I didn’t buy this sooner! As soon as I received, I immediately tried five of the six included colors and they are gorgeous!! I did have to do two coats of the lightest pink for coverage and cured each coat for 60 seconds per the included instructions. I’m so pleased with everything else included. Goodbye, smudged, regular-polish, lasts-one-day manicures forever!" —AZ mama
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 15 color sets).
41. A jade roller and gua sha set because it's a simple, easy-to-use beauty tool. The muscle-relaxing, fine line-reducing rose quartz is something that you can use while watching TV, reading, or after your nighttime routine.
This particular set from Baimei comes with both a jade roller and a gua sha. When used correctly, both are great for depuffing your face and having a soothing at-home facial massage. Many reviewers suggest throwing it in the fridge 10 minutes before you plan to use it for an extra refreshing and relaxing effect!
Promising reviews: "The roller is nice quality, it feels sturdy, and it doesn't squeak when you use it. I enjoy the smaller roller end for my eye area. It does help moisturizer and serums spread on better and soak in faster. The gua sha tool is also great. I can tell it's good quality and wont snap in half. I have been using it on the knots in my neck actually, giving myself a massage and putting pressure on the knots." —Laura
"Helps with oilier serums and feels amazing if you have sinus pressure!" —JSides
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six stones).
42. Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer brush that will make ALL the difference when you're blow-drying your hair, when you've just showered and have to rush to brunch, or are just having a bad hair day. It produces gorgeous blow-out results and works for all hair types!
Reviewers with everything from thin and short to wavy and fine to thick and curly hair love this One-Step Brush and say it works great for their hair types!
Promising review: "I AM OBSESSED with this dryer/styling tool. I will never pay for a professional blowout again because when I use this styling tool, I can do it myself. The drying power is equal to a very good blow dryer with the added benefit of being combined with a round brush. Volume is great, no frizzies. Just beautiful, voluminous professionally styled looking hair. My days of clumsily attempting to round brush my hair while drying are over. This Revlon product is well worth the money. I’m never going back." —Jennifer N. Graham
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two styles).
BTW, Revlon's got a One-Step Styler specifically for curly hair, too for only $39.99! It has over 31,000 5-star reviews and has earned just as much love as the OG styler.
43. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away.
Promising review: "Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes and wipe/rinse." —Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
44. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you'd never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results.
It's from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stain on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreat to shampooing and most often the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say gone…I mean GONE! And that’s with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I’d buy it again is such an understatement. I can’t be without it!!" —Angela Raab
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
45. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer that will make those dark circles disappear almost instantly. No more "you look tired" comments over here!
Promising review: "This is the best under-eye product I’ve ever used. I found it on a BuzzFeed list. It’s so cheap, too! After foundation, I use this and then add foundation over top. It’s awesome!!" —Brandie Collins
Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (available in 14 shades).
