Promising review: "I love this product so much. The main reason is that it lasts a lot longer on my face than powder blushes. I tend to have oily skin, so I think any cream product just 'meshes' with my skin better and lasts longer, where powder just gets eaten up by the oil on my face quickly. ALSO, I love how much control you have with the product because you put in on with your fingers you can put it exactly where you want on your face and put as much or as little as possible. I have an olive skin tone, so I am pretty white in the winter but tan easily in the summer. I use the color beam and find it looks good through all the color changes of my skin for a natural look. I love it and 100% would recommend." —sofsof10

This is one of those pricey beauty products where you buy it hoping it'll be just OK so you can go back to using the cheap stuff, but it turns out to be even better than expected — a bittersweet success. This decadent face cream is perfect for thirsty faces. Its thick consistency melts right into the skin, leaving it feeling bouncy and fresh without zero greasiness. Think: The glowing, dewy skin of an ethereal forest sprite. It's fragrance-free (good for sensitive skin) and uses vegan squalane (good for animals) to hydrate skin and help fight skin damage and free radicals. Also present to help with hydrations? Omega fatty acids, ceramides, and plant sterols, aka the skincare dream team. If you're OK splurging, I absolutely recommend!

The variety pack comes with penne, rotini, and elbows. I've tried this and really like it! It's a very convincing replacement for actual pasta. The consistency is pretty spot on and there's no weird after taste.
Promising review: "Closest 'pasta' I have found to the real thing. The texture and the taste are both great! I would definitely recommend this product." —Ashley

Promising review: "I wish I had these when I was a kid! So easy to fill up and, unlike the lower quality ones, none of these pop while they are being filled. Kids love them and with 100, it at least keeps them entertained and busy for an hour. Definitely recommend if you are buying water balloons!" —Karl Ott

Read our review of Affresh cleaning tablets!
Promising review: "This stuff works really well. I work in appliance repair and highly recommend. If you are having a lot of residue in your dishwasher, the most important thing is to make sure your water is hot enough! At least 120 degrees F. Use two tablets for heavy build up, no detergent, and empty and this should make a huge difference. If you use hot water and use this or Glisten regularly, your dishwasher will perform better and last longer. Great for removing soap and hard water residue." —No One

There are eight varieties — two are un-tinted and one is unscented.
Promising review: "I highly recommend. I love Glossier Balm Dotcoms! They’re so hydrating and protective on the skin/lips. If you would like to use the Balm Dotcom as a skin salve, go with one that doesn’t have a tint. I own the cherry and the berry ones and I absolutely love them! These two especially can work as makeup because they have a stronger tint. I use them every day because I love how they look natural, but add a little extra something to my look while giving me the hydration my skin desires." —Ariana

Promising review: "Wow! I'm so glad I got this. I get home pretty late from work, and I usually just go to bed with my hair damp, but a regular towel doesn’t even touch this one! My hair was dry in a matter of a few minutes! Even my boyfriend was amazed. And I love how lightweight and soft it is. No more big towels breaking my neck and leaving my hair soaking wet! I would recommend this 100%. I'm going to get one for my mom and sister!" —H.Faith

Read one BuzzFeeder's full review of the Aquis hair towel here.
Promising review: "I have fairly sensitive skin and am always worried about trying any products that 'stick' to your face. After having bad experiences with past pore strips, I was pleasantly surprised with how amazing Peace Out Pores was. Not only did it remove so much dirt and oil from my pores, but it surprisingly left the area feeling refreshed and moisturized. Once a week I put these on before bed and have noticed such a difference in my skin and reduced breakouts. Highly recommend." —LaurenMcA

Or get a pitcher plant and hope it eats all the bugs. Nature is so beautiful. :')
Promising review: "They work great. I'm sure the source of these little flies is coming from my pothos plants. I put all seven stakes in the long planter by my front door. A few weeks later, they are loaded! My plants also seem to be growing well. No more little pesky flies flying around. Wonder if these flies were feeding on vital nutrients for the plants? Time to get some more. Highly recommended!!" —JosephN

Promising review: "A nongreasy, moisturizing formula for everyone! I love how it its texture is so creamy, which immediately feels like a 'burst of moisture' as you put it on. It's difficult to describe with words, but it literally feels like you are putting on concentrated water. Highly recommend it!" —archiechoe

Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Initially I was hesitant that it would squish the little guys or they would fall out in transport but it's great! Highly recommend! Sorry little guy your GPS brought you into my house, I will help you find your way back outside. :)" —Crystal R

Promising review: "My dog has had chronic ear infections for years now. Every other month or so she’d get an infection and $200 later we’d have meds from the vet who confirmed what we already knew. I finally decided to give an unprescribed treatment a try and it worked AMAZINGLY. Followed the instructions for a week, and her ear is completely healed! Much easier to pay $20 as opposed to $200 when you get the same results! I highly recommend." —Fromal16

Promising review: "This is the best product I have bought all year—I was going in and getting 60-90 minute massages every other week to fix some shoulder/back issues, which got expensive after a while, so I decided to try this. I feel like it has changed my life! I feel so much relief. I 100% recommend it." —Chelsea Krieg

Promising review: "I love this purchase! Not only is the mug adorable, but the grass is simple to grow and maintain, and my cat loves it! My cat has had significantly less hairball issues since we started growing the grass for him, and it has helped curb his unwavering appetite throughout the day. The refill kits are affordable, and I have just ordered my second set of refills. I would definitely recommend this purchase for any cat lover!" —Cel

Promising review: "I'm almost 40, and I still occasionally get a pimple or a cystic type bump on my face. The last time I had one, it took 6 weeks to go away and left me with a scar. That's when I found these. The next cystic type pimple I had was gone within 5 days while using these patches every evening. I 100% recommend this product!" —Michelle Stine

Promising review: "After years of waxing my upper lip hair, I decided to find a less painful way for hair removal. Using a regular razor was ok, but the regular razors are just way too big and uncomfortable. I ordered these and OH MY GOSH they are *amazing.* They're perfect for upper lip hair and peach fuzz, and today for the first time, I tried them on my eyebrows, and they're great for getting those random stray hairs above the eyebrows. I'm super happy with these and would 100% recommend them. I'll definitely be buying more." —CM

This oil has jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E to help promote strong nails and soften cuticles.
Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4 ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

Promising review: "I was skeptical that this product could work as well as claimed and actually look good...IT DOES! It took me less than two minutes to line each eye and lasted all day in a tropical climate in incredibly high humidity and was rained on. I 100% recommend this product." —Caitlyn W.

Promising review: "This stuff works so well, you'll feel like you're in a staged infomercial where your surfaces are left gleaming and impossibly new. I removed the worst stains from my white ceramic sink, which I had tried everything on... bleach, oxygen cleaners, lemon and baking soda... Nothing worked. But sprinkle some Bar Keeper's Friend on there with ~10 min of elbow grease, and BOOM it looks almost brand new. I'm obsessed, could not recommend it more." —KathleenH
Promising review: "I was skeptical when I first heard about the Squatty Potty. After all, I have been pooping just fine for decades. But when a co-worker gave a glowing review of them, I decided to try one. From the first moment that I sat down, I knew it was going to be a good experience. It's just a more natural way to poop. Not only did my business take about half the time to complete, it was a more thorough job. I recommend this product 100%." —LL

Promising review: "I've been on the lookout for a gentle exfoliating face mask and this one is it! I love that you can mix it with the clean greens as well. I use it at least once a week and have noticed a difference in the texture of my skin and overall brightness. Love that the ingredients are all-natural too. Highly recommend this product!" —Shana B.

Promising review: "I was a little worried about this product when I bought it. I did not think this would clean my ring well. If you're debating this product, I 100% recommend it. It cleaned my ring so well. I was shocked. I felt it even cleaned better than the jewelers. I love how it’s so easy to travel with and just spot clean your jewelry whenever you want to." —Emily Warren

Promising review: "Honestly this is one of the weirdest things I've ever done — but it worked. I put the patch on my canker sore (looks like a tiny pill) overnight and when I woke up the patch was all huge and felt like a sponge. IT WORKED! My canker sore was significantly smaller when I woke up and no longer rubbed up against my teeth. I did one more night with the canker patch and it was completely gone. This product works great for not just mouth sore, but tongue sores. Would highly recommend!" —LW

Promising review: "I LOVE these rings. They're gorgeous, they sparkle beautifully in the sunlight, they fit well, and the spinning is so satisfying. It spins very smoothly and can go on for quite a while. I've been wearing the silver one daily for almost two months, and there's no sign of fading either on the metal or in the rhinestones. It looks as new as the day I bought it. I used to carry a fidget cube around, but this is much more discreet, prettier, and since I can just wear it all day I'm never stuck without something to play with. I highly recommend!" —Michelle

I have this book and love it! It's a great book to consult whenever one of your fussy plants starting acting up.
Promising review: "Ahhhh where do I start?! I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of this book and I can assure you that it does not disappoint! I just wish that this book was around when I first started my houseplant collection! This book is not only a gorgeous coffee table addition but an informative read as well. There’s everything from selecting, transporting, maintaining, troubleshooting, and caring for the houseplants you choose for your home. I really appreciate how they explain propagation and care techniques. I spent so much time researching propagation and didn’t find much so there was a ton of trial and error. This is packed with info and straight to the point. I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the houseplant life and it’s the perfect gift for the green enthusiast. Five stars all around, I’ll definitely be gifting this to all of my friends!" —Kelli Collins

Promising review: "I had done a lot of research on these before I purchased them. When I received them I put them on for 15 minutes and wore them around the house while I did my household chores. I did wear socks with them. The last five minutes were a bit painful but I kept them on. The first night I slept better than I have slept in a really long time. I woke up with no knee pain or sciatica and back pain. I could actually get up from a sitting position without struggling. I am 71 years old and my knees and back have been giving me a fit for a really long time. My husband was so impressed that he asked me to order him a pair. I truly believe in the health benefits that these offer and all without drugs and/or surgery. I will continue to wear them the recommended 15 minutes per day. I can't say enough positive things about these slippers, and have already recommended them to my family and friends." —ELIZABETH J.
