I love using microfiber towels over regular makeup remover wipes because they work so quickly and don't leave any residue. If I ever make a mistake with my eyeliner in the morning, I can just reach for one of these and start fresh, no lingering makeup remover residue in sight.

The Quip is great because it's compact, sleek, and effective. It alerts you every 30 seconds to encourage you to keep brushing for the full two minutes. They send you new heads and batteries in the mail, so you don't even have to worry about trips to the drugstore for new brushes. I'm not the only one who loves this thing. See our glowing review of the Quip.

I'm a stressed out person by nature, so I grind my teeth while I sleep (and sometimes while awake). After my dentist told me insurance wouldn't cover a mouth guard, I decided to head to Amazon for an over-the-counter option. This cuts out the middle man and delivers a completely custom mouth guard for less than half the price that the dentist was charging. The service sends you a mold that you bite and mail it in, and they send you back your mouth guard. I've had it for about half a year and it's still working great. You can also read another BuzzFeed review on why it's so great.

Promising review: "I bought this to clean up the pitted and cracked shower grout in my apartment. If I owned the place, I'd properly have had it re-grouted and sealed. But for the price, this did the trick and made the shower look sharp and clean. The paint dispenses easily and is pretty simple to apply evenly (and if you screw up, just use a sponge to wipe off where you colored outside the lines). It made it through its first cleaning test, when I sprayed with Kaboom tile cleaner. For my situation, it worked." —Beez

I have a Billie razor and I'm never using anything else ever again. The shave is super close and smooth. The packaging is also just really cute, and it's nice to get a shiny package in the mail with new razors every few months. The original shipment comes with a razor head and two blades. Following shipments come with four replacement heads. Read our full review.
Get it from Billie for $9+/shipment.

Promising review: "I tried my sponges today, and the first thing I noticed is that they are very durable! I have been using Magic Erasers since they were in the testing phases, and they do not last anywhere close to as long as these do. I usually use Magic Erasers for scrubbing out my shower pan (with Ajax), and by the time I’m done, the sponge has already lost some chunks, and I can normally only get two uses out of them. This STK sponge didn’t break at all, and only SLIGHTLY compressed after the first use. I will be buying these again, and save lots of money in the long run." —KarmaDreams71

These strips are easy to apply, can be done at home, and only take 30 minutes per session. You can pop these on and do laundry or watch Netflix. They don't harm your enamel and leave teeth looking noticeably whiter.
Ohhh and this is also another BuzzFeed Reviews winner for one of the best teeth whitening options!
Get 22 treatments from Amazon for $44.99.
Promising review: "This is an awesome product that's very easy to use and saved me a ton of money as an alternative to replacing the screens. I have a sun room with very large screens (approximately 5' x 5'), which would've taken a lot of time and material to replace. Yes, you can see where I repaired the holes, but that's not a huge deal. I really like the fact that you can cut this tape to any size to fit almost all needs." —Jerrykyll

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried plungers, drain cleaners, baking soda, vinegar, etc with little success. By little success I am talking about merely turning a clog into a very slow drain that lasts a day or two before becoming a full clog again. I finally realized that it was going to take a plumber with a snake to clear my bathroom drain. I called some local plumbers for a few estimates and was blown away buy how much the wanted to unclog a drain, the estimates ranged from $120 to $250! Being disabled, I have limited home repair ability but I knew I had to find a way to fix it myself, and I could not believe how easy the solution was. I took a chance and this simple little device reached down into my drain and pulled up hair and globs of sludge that had been building up inside that drain for who knows how many years. Not only did I save a LOT of money but I also felt good about fixing it myself. These won't fix every type of drain problem such as clogs further down the pipes, but the majority of sink clogs happen in the trap (a U-, S-, or J-shaped pipe located below the sink) and this will do the job." —Figureof8

Promising review: "These are wonderful and really do work. I have been using them for over two months constantly and they haven't broken down at all yet. We have a household of three adults. Everything comes out soft and static-free without harsh chemicals and fragrances that cause skin irritations. So happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend!" —Dl

You can buff out scratches by hand or with a dual action orbital polisher.
Promising review: "I had a few noticeable fine scratches on the hood of my truck that I tried this Trinova Scratch and Swirl Remover on, and it worked. I no longer have to be annoyed every time I approach my vehicle from the front! It didn't take a lot of effort to get it back to looking like new again. I will use it again in the future if necessary. I'm glad that I didn't pay someone at the body shop to try to buff the scratches out, I saved a bunch of money with this!" —Bonnie Walton

Promising review: "Let's face it. It's near impossible to get a salon blow-out look at home. Your arms get tired and trying to manage a brush and blowdryer at once is a feat in and of itself. I thought I'd give this brush a try and I love it! I actually like the way my hair looks after using this styler better than when I go to the salon — seriously. I love my hairdresser and she does a great job, but I've actually gotten more compliments on my hair when I do it myself with this tool. It's great and you can't beat the price!" —Debbie

Promising review: "This is so cute. I read so many reviews and decided to go with this one. The lights are bright and bold, but not too bright to keep you up. The mister is good for a small bedroom. I'll be getting the 500ml one for my family area. I use a little more oil than suggested (about 5-6 drops) and that helped the scent to become more powerful." —TW

Promising review: "This is a MIRACLE rust remover! We have an indoor/outdoor carpet on the floor of our three-season room. One of the legs of our metal coffee table caused rust to form on the carpet. I thought it was ruined. I bought this product, sprayed it on the carpet, walked away for FIVE MINUTES, came back and the stain was completely GONE! Carpet saved! Amazing when products actually do what they promise. This is one of them!" —Kinnakeet

It offers 12 hours of leak-free protection (but you might want to add a liner on heavy flow days).
Promising review: "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS THING. Okay, so nearly everyone with a period will tell you NO UNDERWEAR IS SAFE. No matter what you use, no matter what color the underwear is, the blood will find a way to destroy it... UNTIL TODAY. I wore PRISTINE WHITE AS LILIES PANTIES the other day. And as I was getting ready in the morning I was like 'Wait, I'm going to get my period soon. Better cup up to be safe.' I went through my day living my life with no hint or indication that I was bleeding from below, that is until I emptied my cup. THAT MOTHER WAS FILLED TO THE BRIM. Apparently I had not only gotten my period but the entirety of a Quentin Tarantino film had taken place under my skirt. I'm talking elevator-of-blood-from-horror-masterpiece-The-Shining levels here. And my snow white panties? NOT A DROP ON THEM. You would have never known my vagina was the battle ground for Freddy Vs. Jason. Needless to say this is the BEST THING for people with periods to avoid holding another mourning session for their favorite pair of undergarments. Never using pads or tampons again. THANKS DIVACUP!" —Ninapedia

Promising review (for waistband extender): "I'm in the middle of my first trimester and these have been awesome! I'm still too small for maternity pants, but am too bloated to wear my current pants as-is. This pack is great because it includes both kinds of closures (buttons and metal clasp) and it comes in a variety of colors. I highly recommend! I'm fairly sure I will be using these until I am in all maternity clothes and perhaps after (pair it with a bellyband), and also after baby is born and I go back to work!" —JMCrwy

Promising review: "Excellent product so far, easy to use. I patched on the inside of my jeans and it looks great. Zeffka contacted me directly as soon as I ordered them to give me tips on use, like giving the patch a good three days to fully dry, not using steam etc. Very helpful and came quickly so I could fix my favorite pair of jeans." —Bwalk

Promising review: "Yes, I'm a truffle lover to begin with. And, of course, only a truffle is a truffle. But I gotta tell ya this delectable heaven-sent powder is one heck of an addictive and more versatile option. Utterly AMAZING on popcorn, in eggs, added to soups and sauces to layer flavors, veggies, PASTA...the list is endless (I think the only thing I haven't tried was sprinkling it on ice cream...although LOL). It is a bit salty, so I advise testing the waters first. But I just ordered my ninth and tenth bottle of the Truffle Zest." —Greengirl
