Promising review: "I have thick, naturally curly hair and my hair usually takes forever to dry. This towel helps my hair to dry about twice as fast! Getting out of the shower, I wrap my hair in this towel while I get dressed and I no longer have to worry about my hair completely drenching my shirt as soon as i take it out of the towel. It really dries it to a manageable level of dryness in just a minute or two." —AubriSnowe

This Instant Pot is basically seven kitchen tools in one! It can be used as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, cake maker, and warmer! It can also sauté, because #fancy.
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot." —Stereoman

Plus, this is so much less laborious than balancing a brush and hair dryer. Hooray to your arm not hurting after .5 seconds of drying time!
Promising review: "I have a lot of hair. A LOT. I have also looked into having a third arm surgically implanted because my shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me 8 minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband, in the next room, and in fact I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes (several more minutes were lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror). If you struggle with an over-abundance of hair like I do, seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try." —Chris

Investing in a nice wallet has been the most adult-like purchase I've ever made, and I haven't lost my Metro Card in *at least* a few months because of it. (That's a very big deal for me.)
Promising review: "This wallet is so simple and sleek, yet so organized. I love it so much that I want to try other items from this brand!" —alynnb
Get it from Dagne Dover or Nordstrom for $75 (available in nine colors).
This medium-to-full concealer has buildable coverage that doesn't look cake-y. How? It uses magnolia bark extract, grape seed extract, and vitamin e to hide imperfections while supplying some much-needed hydration — so if you have fine lines and a ton of redness, this sulfate- and paraben-free bottle is for YOU.
Promising review: "This is honestly the best concealer I've ever used. Perfect coverage, moisturizing, doesn't crease like other thick concealers do, and I'v never broken out from it. Love!" —haaan
Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in 30 shades).
Promising review: "Hydro Flask has stolen my heart. I have put ice in it during the summer on the hottest days, and there's still ice cubes in it at the end of the day. I put coffee in it before class on cold days, and my coffee is still hot two classes later. I have given this as a gift to everyone — my professor, my clinical instructor, my coach, my mom -- the list goes on and on." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.93+ (available in 14 colors).
I personally own this watch and have gotten approximately 15,698 compliments on it. The construction is super sturdy and the dial is still scratch-free after about six months of wear, which is pretty fantastic considering that I'm not exactly *delicate* with it.
Get it from Daniel Wellington for $169 (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "I couldn't imagine ever finding something better than my beloved Kindle PaperWhite but I did... this new version. I only bought an updated version because, after four years of excessive use (at least 20-30 hours per week), a couple of pixels have died out on my original and it's just slowing down. So, Merry Christmas to me, a replacement PaperWhite. This one is slightly slimmer and a bit lighter, and the flush front is well worth the upgrade, All of this just makes for even more comfortable reading. I also enjoy the free cellular connectivity. Overall, an improvement on what was pretty darn perfect to begin with!" —Missouri Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $129.99.
FYI! Reviews suggest going down a size or two for the perfect fit.
Promising review: "These jeans are by far the best, most comfortable jeans I have EVER owned. I bought these the second they became available and I've already worn them three times since receiving them — they're stretchy but not pinchy, feel like jeggings but actually look like jeans, and unlike literally every other pair of high-waisted jeans I've owned, they don't stretch out in the waist. I don't know how these jeans manage to be so stretchy without stretching out, but they do it. They do run a bit big, so definitely order a size or two down!" —Nordstrom or icedcoftea
Get them from Nordstrom or Madewell for $75 (available in sizes 23-37 and in petite, regular, tall, and taller lengths).
Pssst, if the orange color pictured above is not your thing, NO WORRIES! These babies are also available in far more neutral hues.

Psst, this is a winner on BuzzFeed Reviews for best everyday sneakers!
This exfoliator also has a one-minute timer to guarantee you *actually* wash your face long enough.
Promising review: "As an esthetician, I always love trying new products! This is something that is great for people who don’t realize they are not cleansing their skin long enough, and is similar to something like an electronic toothbrush." —Kirsten Warner
Get it from Amazon for $104.25 (available in six colors).
Check out a our review of the FOREO LUNA.
Promising review: "This sound machine has literally changed my life. Our neighbor likes to spend his mornings shoveling gravel on a cement surface with a metal shovel about five from my window (like six AM early) and to be honest, I was starting to have some pretty dangerous thoughts about stealing his shovel, breaking his arms, burning his house down.... One goes down some pretty dark paths when they suffer from insomnia already and then get woken up with a shovel scrapping down a sidewalk. Okay, so the machine somehow COMPLETELY covers the noise from the shovel, the toilet flushing next to my room, dogs barking, etc. It is incredible." —MorAvFire
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in five colors).
*it's been 84 years since I've last washed my hair, but this magic spray takes away grease, odor, and sweat in mere seconds*
Promising review: "This is legitimately the best dry shampoo I have tried so far. It never leaves my hair looking white or chalky, and it seriously cleans your hair throughout the day! I have tried many, many dry shampoos, but this will be my go-to from now on." —ChloeLovesCloths
Get it from Nordstrom for $14+.
On top of all the fantastic features listed above, this carry-on is also made from a polycarbonate shell. What does this mean, you ask? It means that this BB is essentially indestructible.
Promising review: "I have never taken a trip that went quite as smoothly, thanks to this Away luggage. It held everything perfectly in place and in order! The bag is beyond lightweight, the design is FIERCE, the wheels are so smooth, the size is perfect, and I love the battery pack. This is a total lifesaver and the smartest bag ever. Intelligently designed and perfect! I’m in love." —Valerie R.
Get it from Away for $225 (available in 11 colors).

This stand mixer basically mixes, kneads, and whips EVERYTHING thanks to flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip attachments. Say goodbye to doing this by hand!
Promising review: "We've used this weekly to make bread dough and cookie dough, as well as for soups and mashed potatoes. If you are in the habit of making your food from scratch, this handy machine will take A LOT of the manual labor out of the job. We have been using it literally every week for the past three years and have never had a problem with it." —skykid14
Get it from Amazon for $254.45 (originally $429.99, available in 55 colors).
ANOTHER HUGE PLUS!? It's fragrance-free. I'm sure your nose will be ever so thankful.
Promising review: "I've been experimenting with foundations for years. I have oily skin and I never found anything that stays on all day...until I found this. This foundation is liquid GOLD. It stays on all day, doesn't cake, and a little goes a long way. It has excellent pigmentation. If you want great coverage without the cake-y look, this is IT. I'm done searching!" —ecl3cticmiss
Get it from Sephora for $42 (available in 56 shades).
Promising review: "A great little speaker, especially for the price! Sound is crisp and full, it looks great, and has a nice, solid heft to it. It's also extremely easy to pair to an iPhone. Once paired, it quickly and reliably connects to my phone when turned on." —Marshall Jones
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
Promising review: "The saleswoman in the store showed me this bra and said that everyone loves them — yeah yeah, I have heard that before. Well, she was RIGHT! This is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. If you love wearing your sports bra, this is BETTER! I'm heading back to the store for more. You don't even feel like you are wearing anything, but you have the support." —Maurasmom
Get it from Soma for $42.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 11 colors).
This shampoo contains micelles and white vinegar, which act to naturally get rid of the build-up in your hair. If you're a dry shampoo connoisseur, this stuff is here to save the day.
Promising review: "I have fine, thin, and aging hair, and this is the one and only shampoo that I find gentle but effective enough (and I can use it every day without feeling I'm 'overdoing' the cleansing). I also find that many drugstore shampoos leave my scalp itchy — but not Rosemary Mint! Aveda, please keep this product line going for years to come!" —Jojo
Get it from Aveda for $17.
Promising review: "If I could give this more than five stars, I would. I have had this for a year and an half and use it twice or more a day. It still makes the most amazing lattes! If I have the option of going out for coffee or making one my self, I prefer the latter. We were getting coffee once or twice a day, so this is actually saving us a ton of money and the coffee tastes ten times better. I highly recommend this specific machine. I love having the grinder attached, and it's headache to not have to deal with measuring and cleaning out a separate one." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $519.25.
Promising review: "This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9° and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear with just a t-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold...nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye purse!) and looks different from all the rest out there." —Zhure
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in sizes XXS-XXL and in five colors).
This is also suitable for all skin types — normal, oily, combo, or dry!
Promising review: "I bought this since my skin was healing from old acne spots. I needed something to slough off the dead skin, and I didn’t want anything too harsh or irritating either. After only two uses, I can say that it’s THE BEST scrub I’ve used. The results speak for itself. The delicious smell is just a great addition. If you are thinking about the $$... in this case, it is worth it. Nothing has helped the way this has. Such a great purchase after spending hundreds of dollars looking for something that works." —Aishabz
Get it from Sephora for $44.
Promising review: "I've owned this dish rack for over a year and can state unequivocally this is the best dish rack in the history of man. (How's that for drama?) While it sits on the counter, there is a pan beneath the rack that drains all water into the sink; it is just wonderful. You may pay a bit more, but you won't be disappointed in any way. There is even a rack for hanging your wine glasses to dry." —TobiGail
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
Promising review: "The best leggings in the world! Thick, high-waisted, durable. I wish I owned 10 pairs." —Danielle177
Get them from Nordstrom for $54 (available in sizes 1X-3X).
Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes! I have wore these shoes almost every day since first buying them. Breaking them in kind of hurt, but they were fine after the first few wears. These are some of the best shoes that I've ever owned! I can wear them for an eight-hour shift at work and not have sore ankles, knees, and hips like I might with other shoes. Plus, these shoes are sturdy and I can tell they will last me for a very long time. Certainly worth the investment." —Bridgette
Get it from Amazon for $78.71+ (available in sizes 5-10 and in nine colors).
Promising review: "I've wanted this bag for years and finally decided to spend the money. It looks exactly as I imagined and is perfect. Love the color because it goes with everything. There is a ton of room to fit things, it is well-made, and I also like it for traveling since it zips at the top and you don't have to worry about anything falling out." —KAL23
Get it from Nordstrom for $145 (available in six colors).
Promising review: "I got the light blue wash, and this jacket is everything I hoped for. It's heavy enough to keep me warm, I can comfortably wear layers underneath it, and it has a vintage feel to it." —Sandra Gibbons
Get it from Everlane for $88 (traditional retail for $185, available in sizes XXS-XL and in six colors).
Promising review: "I work long hours, and do not have time to reapply lipstick constantly. Ruby Woo stays on for HOURS, and even when it finally does wear off, it stains my lips so that I never look lipstick-less. This is my all-time favorite and I receive so many compliments whenever I wear it." —Glamourat54
Get it from MAC Cosmetics for $18.50 (available in six shades).
WHAT IS THIS SIDEKICK YOU SPEAK OF? Well, it's positioned right underneath the normal-sized washer and is meant for smaller, custom-care loads of laundry. Need to quickly wash your favorite tank top? Your sweaty sports bra? That fancy sweater that says "dry clean only" but let's face it, who has the time? Just stuff it into this fun-sized washer and voilà! Your dreams of clean clothes can come true in a matter of minutes.
Moving on to the dryer — it is WAY larger than it appears and can comfortably fit your entire wardrobe in one load. Okay, maybe not your *whole* wardrobe (YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF). But considering that it can dry an entire set of king-sized bedding in one cycle, it's truly nothing short of a laundry day miracle. It also had a pedestal underneath it which can be used for storage purposes. (Personally, I would use that space to store mismatched socks.)
Get it from Sears for $4,109.96.
Promising review: "These glasses are high quality, fun, and unique. I get a compliment daily on my glasses, and I've actually gone on to purchase three pairs (same style but different colors). I spend a lot of time in the sun at our lake house, and these are comfortable and provide good eye protection." —Beth D.
Get them from Krewe for $275 (available in six colors).
Promising review: "Its.....a can of thermal spring water. I don't know what else is in it and I don't really care, because it works. I had initially received one in my Ipsy bag and fell in love with it right away. This is great for calming sensitive skin, sunburn, any type of skin irritation, cooling down from being overheated (put it in the fridge for awhile and it feels AMAZING), or even just setting your makeup if it's looking too matte. If you have rosacea, this is a miracle product and you should buy it immediately." —SPO77
Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in four sizes).
**Surprise! This wasn't designed by Grandma Aggie herself — shocking, I know. BUT! This canvas beauty is a part of Shay Mitchell's new travel line, BÉIS. Prepare to want everything in said line.
Promising review: "Wow! I was hesitant to buy this at first because I was worried about the material... but oh boy, it’s great! The backpack is great quality, zipper works great, and there are enough pockets to keep everything organized, but not too many where you’ll forget which one you stashed your chapstick in. I absolutely love that this has a luggage band so that I could slip my backpack onto my carry-on, and the fact that it can open all the way around is amazing! It looks big in photos, but in person it’s not too overwhelming and is a perfect weekender." —LoveB
Get it from Nordstrom for $62 (available in two colors).
Psst, the 2.4 ounce candle has a burn time of up to 20 hours!
Promising review: "This candle has a beautiful, delicate fragrance that somehow manages to fill a room without being sickly sweet or overpowering. It is very subtle whilst still being noticeable and feeling luxurious. It's just so lovely!" —georgiadcw
Get it from Nordstrom for $35+.
Psst, reviewers suggest going down by half a size!
Promising review: "These are my seventh pair of OTK boots from Stuart Weitzman and I am obsessed. These have gorgeous, soft leather and the perfect heel height. As with all of the Weitzman OTK boots, they hug your leg so beautifully and you'll want to wear them every day."
Get them from Stuart Weitzman for $798 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This feels exactly like being cuddled when I'm falling asleep! 'Comforting' is the perfect word to describe how it feels when you put this over your chest, and it for sure helps to calm you down. I've used it for three days now and I can't seem to get enough of it! Superior quality and I like the air flow between the loops, too." —Oliver C.
