Promising review: "This has got to be the best $9 I've ever spent. I mix my protein shakes in it without having to touch a blender, and they come out smooth. It takes a couple of seconds at most, it's remarkably easy to clean, and the construction/materials/design's incredible. I even dropped it and the shake didn't spill. I've taken to making iced coffees in it as well. It's great for my physical job where eating a big lunch slows me down and makes me tired. This way I can have a big shake instead. Same amount of calories, and I keep my energy up on my 12-hour shifts. Seriously, I feel like they could easily charge double what they are charging. Scoop this one up and you won't regret it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is the best purchase I made this year. I wanted to make cornbread like at KFC, so tried it out and we all love the mini loaves. Now I am thinking of what else I can make with the mini pan....next is banana bread!" —Linda Quinn

Promising review: "I have never felt more compelled to write a product review before. This stuff is INCREDIBLE. I have tried almost everything to improve my skin. I continue to get acne in my mid-thirties and literally everything else I've tried has not worked, including prescription topical cream and oral medication. This has saved my skin! I have had very few breakouts, and if anything pops up, this takes care of it quickly! My skin feels moisturized and looks smoother and healthier overall. This is truly one of the best purchases I've ever made. I'm thankful I stumbled upon this serum!" —J.C. Denton

Promising review: "Best $5 I ever spent. I don't EVER have to make breakfast now! We have already saved way more than we paid in time and money. The only thing that you really need to know other than following the directions is don't forget to add milk! I am NEVER ordering a $8 omelet again. These come out fluffy and better than the local restaurants." —Bridgette

Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I am an African American woman with very curly hair. I love getting waxed but had the worst hair bumps until I discovered this product. The directions are to use once everyday after taking a shower and drying off and the hair bumps were gone after two days. The bottle is small but I can’t go without now. It’s the only thing that has worked for me." —ambr78709

Promising review: "Best purchase I’ve ever made. Literally so convenient to have so many of these for such a cheap price! Absolute lifesaver. Also, I know it’s trashy, but just an example of another one of their uses — you could loop some of these together and make yourself an 'emergency belt' and it would work wonderfully." —Abacus

Promising review: "I. Love. These. Slippers. One of my favorite and best purchases from Amazon. I practically live in these things. Literally, I wear them around the house all the time down to stepping out of them and directly into the shower and even walking my dog in them — well not walk, but take a step or two and let him pee in the grass if it’s not walking weather. My nieces loved them so much I ended up getting them each a pair for Christmas. You will not be disappointed if you purchase. Cute, comfortable, versatile." —Beckybrowneyes85

Promising review: "I always thought it was a hoax that a piece of steel could remove kitchen odors (like from chopping onions or garlic). I am happy to report that it totally works. Handle all the stinky food you want — even non food odors — and then wash your hands with this steel bar. No soap. No perfume. It just removes the odor nearly instantly. Little bar is reasonably priced as well. Best gadget I've bought in years." —Deb
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a very cute garlic shape).
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!" —momonono

This is very likely the last mascara brand you'll ever want to purchase because of how freakin' well works to really separate and thicken your lashes.
Promising review: "This is the best mascara I've ever owned and I've tried everything from Mac to Dior to Lancôme. It makes my lashes so long that people think I have falsies, it does not clump, does not crumble and flake, stays on all day and comes off super easy when I use my makeup remover face wash." —Stasy

It's also super stretchy to fit your hair! Beautifully Warm is a Black-owned business that makes satin-lined hats, backless caps, and more.
Promising review: "I purchased this in December and was skeptical but let me tell you. It was the best purchase ever. Talk about saving my natural hair and not messing up my hairstyle. I love this cap and will be purchasing more. It's a game changer. Wished I would have saw sooner. Plus it keeps my head warm. Others says it big but it's OK cause it slouches and when I go to the salon and get my hair curled I throw it on and I live in Minnesota so the weather does a number on our type of hair. That satin-lined hat keeps my head warm and my style tight....." —hlc1976

These storage bags come with a tiny valve that you attach to your vacuum (or the hand pump they provide), which takes out ALLLL the air from inside the bag and compresses all the items inside.
Promising review: "I am a travel nurse and these by far have been the best things I have purchased. They are very easy to use and I was able to pack all my winter stuff up in large bags and put them in a suitcase! Definitely helped with no having a million containers to move with. I already ordered mediums ones for my T-shirt’s and all. I’m so excited about this purchase!" —Victoria

Promising review: "I live in Seattle and the seasonal depression during the winter months can be intense (sunset by 4:30 p.m., cold and rainy, etc.). My doctor recommended a sun light and I genuinely think this is the best Amazon purchase I've made in years. It sits on my desk at work - I use it for about an hour or two every day (with the comfort lens). I absolutely feel more energetic, focused, and calm/less stressed." —R. Bender

Promising review: "Promising review: "I love these things! This is by far the best thing I've ever bought. For my people with the chub rub this is your item! I tried it all (powder, deodorant, grease, shorts under my clothes) nothing worked as well as this to stop the dreaded chub rub. The best part? The don't squeeze or roll down! In the summer I don't leave home without them." —Jonesy Jones

Promising review: "I live this drain topper! I have a Kohler tub with a center drain and the rubber ring on the stopper wasn’t holding a grip. This has solved everything! When finished just press against the inside of the tub and no one can see it. One of my best purchases and cost is so reasonable!" —Lori Ozrech

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini golden doodle that is prissy about her paws, and a standard labradoodle puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was driving me CRAZY. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

Promising review: "AWESOME ITEM. My 11- and 12-year-old have played with this NONSTOP. The movies they create are so cool. Adult help is required at first but once they get the hang of it, watch out because you'll find numerous story lines and little Lego scenes set up around your house. Whoever came up with this item is a genius. I'd even go as far as saying it's the best toy I have ever purchased for any of my five kids. Worth every penny." —Brandy Lynn

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but these are easily the best jeans I have ever owned in my life and I had to share!!! They fit perfectly in every way to the point where I can't believe these aren't custom made for me. They are incredibly comfortable without sacrificing the look of real jeans and the tummy panel is FANTASTIC. On top of all of that, these are more comfortable than my leggings. I'm in love with these pants and will be purchasing the rest of the colors to replace every other pair of jeans I own." —Anonymous

Promising review: "This is the best matte lipstick I have ever purchased. It goes on perfectly in one layer. It doesn’t flake or dry out my lips. For a super dark color those first two pros are everything! I can even go for drinks and eat food that’s oily or greasy and still it stays. I’m buying every color I can." —Kelsey O'Keefe

Promising review: "I use a retinol every night but decided to take a night off and use this instead after cleansing. I was not disappointed. My skin feels so hydrated, even this morning after washing my complexion is glowing. I’d only recommend this for night, before bed, because it takes a while for the serum to sink in and I was super shiny even before getting into my bed. But this morning I woke up with beautiful results, plumped and dewy. My forehead and laugh lines are noticeably faded (I am 32) I did not know a non chemical exfoliant could give such results and I’m so happy. Probably will continue to use every other week. Hands down my best skincare purchase on Amazon." —Alexandra M.

Promising review: "One of the best purchases I made this year. I have long blond hair that clogs the shower drain multiple times a week. Since I live in an apartment, I can't change the drain plumbing (I did ask!). This has saved me from needing to snake the drain or call maintenance every week to unclog." —Jacqueline

This formula is made with gentle, plant-based ingredients that won't damage your brushes OR your skin. Plus, it can be used on any of your brushes or sponge applicators!
Promising review: "This is the best brush shampoo I've ever used. I've used brush shampoos from high-end/luxury lines, too, and they did not work as well as this. First and most importantly for me, there is no scent! I absolutely hate when companies put heavy perfume in products that end up touching or going near the face. When washing brushes with shampoo that is heavily perfumed, that just ends up irritating my sinuses whenever I'm using the brushes to apply makeup. So awful. This is not like that at all, so I can use my makeup brushes without having sinus/allergy trouble. It cleans extremely well! No more going over and over again like with using other makeup brush shampoos. A little goes a long way, too, so it is extremely economical. The value is awesome. I highly recommend this brush shampoo and will continue purchasing it." —L.L.

Promising review: "Best purchase I have made in years. Only had it two days, but the first words out of my mouth to my wife were, 'I can work for hours like this.' If you work from home and like to work on the couch, recliner, breakfast nook, patio, etc, and you have your computer in your lap, this is an absolute must have. Not only does it keep your legs and lap cool, but it also keeps your computer cool and able to process much more efficiently." —Trent Thiel
