    In Case You're Not On TikTok, Here Are 49 Products Under $20 That Are Highly Recommended By People Who Are

    Like an eyeliner stamp for the *perfect* cat-eye and a handy tool that sucks the venom out of bug bites.

    1. A two-pack of *iconic* cleaning paste The Pink Stuff, because once you realize how much stain-lifting power this unassuming stuff has, you'll be happy you bought in bulk. Not only does it get stains out, it does so quickly and with minimal effort on your part.

    After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out the photos for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN.

    2. A versatile matcha-infused moisture stick made with just three ingredients: caffeine-rich matcha powder, organic coconut oil, and organic beeswax. You can dab it anywhere your skin feels dry, whether it's your lips, hands, or face, and the matcha can also help reduce the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness.

    You can see how one TikTok reviewer applies the stick under their eyes, to their cheeks, over their lips, and even on their knuckles here. They also show how they use Cocokind's turmeric stick on targeted areas to unclog pores! Plus, some reviewers say they swipe the matcha balm over their styled brows to keep them in place.

    Cocokind is a San Francisco-based small biz that makes truly dreamy, cruelty-free skincare products with sustainability in mind. 

    Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." —alizza d.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99 or Cocokind for $9.

    3. A rubber broom with bristles that attract pet hair like a magnet for anyone who finds that their vacuum just isn't doing the job. Use it on carpets or any floor surface — and, if your windows are in need of a little cleaning, it also comes with a handy built-in squeegee!

    Reviewers say using short, quick strokes is the most effective way of extracting the most pet hair from your rug. 

    Promising review: "So of course I saw this product on TikTok...and added it to the list of things that TikTok made me buy. But I'm very glad that I did. I have a Siberian husky who sheds a LOT...and in all seasons. I use this on my carpet before vacuuming and it loosens up the hair so easily that my vacuum never got. I never realized I had that much dog hair caked into my carpet until I used this!" —Alyssa Frey

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

    4. A bottle of fan-favorite Bio-Oil to take your skin from borderline scaly to oh-so-soft after just one application. It's formulated with vitamins A and E along with chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to provide much-needed hydration without clogging pores or making skin feel greasy (the worst!).

    Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez

    Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes, as well as a pack of three and two bundles).

    5. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll replace lingering smells — you know, the ones that always make you think, Wow, should I be cleaning my garbage disposal? — with a bright, lemony scent. Plus, watching it bubble up is pretty fun!

    Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.98 (also available as a pack of 24). 

    6. An oh-so-cute octopus-shaped blackhead remover you just massage over damp skin to clean out your pores. The black mud balm is formulated with exfoliating cellulose beads to smooth and soften skin, while its marine plant extracts have a pore-shrinking effect.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel

    Another promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    7. A set of hidden pocket scrunchies (yup, you read that correctly) for sneakily storing small essentials on the go while letting you achieve that '90s updo we all know and love.

    Promising review: "I bought this because of someone on TikTok who had purchased this. Extremely convenient and cute! They’re very soft and I’ve been using mine to hold cash and lip balm. I wish there were more colors!" —Michaela

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two color combinations).

    8. And speaking of '90s updos, a set of matte hair claw clips to give you an effortlessly cool throwback look, even if styling hair isn't your forte.

    Check these out on TikTok here!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde says: "I've owned this set for about a year and I am reaching for them constantly! I used to be someone who would tie my hair up in a messy bun whenever I'm doing things around the house, but I noticed how that would really start damaging my hair after a while. Instead, I just clip my hair back with one of these, and my long, thick hair stays in place without the claw jamming into my head. I have some other clips lying around that I should probably get rid of because I only ever exclusively use these!"

    Promising review: "I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them. The colors are gorgeous and they stay put without hurting my head. I'm very impressed." —Jessica

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 18 color combos).

    9. A revolutionary watermelon slicer that'll have perfectly cubed pieces on your table before you can say "Harry Styles." When you're craving summer's favorite food but don't feel like getting into an epic knife-versus-fruit battle, this baby will be your best friend.

It cuts yellow watermelon, too!!! The included baller is great for the small leftover, hard-to-reach places." —Andrea Draine

    Get it from Amazon for $12.37

    10. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer, which has over 18,000 5-star ratings — probably because it's more than just a smooth makeup base. It contains squalane, which mimics oil naturally found in our bodies to keep thirsty skin hydrated, so your face will feel as good as it looks. Oh, and reviewers say that with this stuff, your makeup will. not. budge.

I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!" —Leslie Mattingly

    Get it from Amazon for $9.

    I personally love spreading this stuff over a warm buttered biscuit and drizzling on pizza for sweet and savory BLISS, but I bet it would also be amazing tossed with some toasted almonds or cashews. 

    Promising review: "Saw someone try this in TikTok and knew I needed it. It’s so good and sweet and spicy. I love it on fried chicken and even pepperoni pizza. It’s delicious." —Tricia

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in packs of two, four, and six, in three sizes, and in an extra hot variety).

    13. And while we're on the subject of condiments, a jar of Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp you'll start putting on every morsel of food you intend on eating — assuming you don't consume the entire jar with a spoon first. It's juuust the right amount of spicy without being overpowering, and it'll elevate even the most simple bowl of instant noodles.

    See what one TikTok reviewer has to say about the chili crisp, along with Fly By Jing's Zhong Sauce and Mala Spice Mix here

    Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small business that makes sauces, seasonings, and dumplings featuring flavors from Sichuan.

    Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!

    Get it from Amazon for $17.98 (also available as a pack of two) or Fly By Jing for $15 (also available as a monthly subscription for 15% off).

    14. A tube of Tower 28's ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss, which was born ready for primetime with those bright, gorgeous hues. Whether you prefer light and sheer or a creamier formula, there's a shade for you — either way, your kissers will be sporting unparalleled luster.

    Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned small biz whose founder, Amy Liu, has struggled with eczema for years. The brand specializes in products for sensitive skin, and everything is also vegan and cruelty-free.

    Promising review: "Did I buy this because of a TikTok? Yes! I use this lip gloss when I do minimalist looks with my makeup. Though it’s clear, it has just a little bit of pink to give the color some sparkle. Do know: Less is more if you want to avoid looking too shiny." —soufidc

    Get it from Tower 28 at Sephora for $15 (available in 11 shades). 

    15. A box of Mighty Match blemish patches containing hydrocolloid to spot-treat those pesky skin eruptions that always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times. Leave 'em on overnight, and in the morning you'll be rewarded with a patch full of gross yet satisfying white residue (aka pimple gunk).

    Check these out on TikTok here!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde says: "I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these one right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and is practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!"

    Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway 

    Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99.

    16. And a Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller if you'd like to feel less greasy but are sick of dropping precious money on blotting papers. Not only is this less wasteful, it'll also feel like you're getting a face massage!

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

    This has over 99,000 5-star ratings, so...yeah.

    Promising review: "Saw this hat on TikTok and decided to place my order! I needed a cozy guy for the winter. It can get very cold where I live especially during morning time when I’m walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft and there are many color options. I got the black one." —Yamit 

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in one size and 25 styles).

    18. A dishwasher magnet you can toggle to say whether the contents inside are clean or dirty — a seemingly small gesture with potentially major peace-keeping results.

    19. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner for anyone who loved the look of their shiny appliances the first week they got them, then quickly realized they're actually a breeding ground for fingerprints. It's made with aromatic lavender essential oil, which polishes and shines without streaking, and creates a protective barrier for preventing future smudges.

    Check it out in action on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok, and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless-steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs of two or six, and in a 64-oz jug). 

    20. A set of silky satin pillowcases that'll protect your hair and skin from split ends, frizz, and scratches while you attempt to get your 8+ hours of slumber. Sweet dreams!

    Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." —chris

    Get a set of five from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four color combos). 

    22. And a popular facial applicator brush that'll spread your face masks and other skincare products on in a nice thin layer — while keeping your hands from getting messy! Plus, your jars of product will stay nice and sanitary without your grubby little fingers constantly dipping into them. 😉

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I saw them on TikTok and ordered them right away. I've been using them for months now and they make applying masks so much easier. I get a much more even application than I did with my hands or with other brushes. Extremely easy to use, clean, and store. Love love love!" —Caterina

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $4.39.

    23. A portable door lock for a little peace of mind when you're staying in a hotel. It works on pretty much any inward-opening door to keep anyone from being able to open the door from the outside (even with a key!) and requires zero tools or installation hardware!

    how to guide for door lock

    Promising review: "My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if it’s not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure and it’s easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend, thanks TikTok for showing this to me." —Anna

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available as a pack of two). 

    24. A set of portable soap paper sheets so you can ensure your hands stay clean, even on the go. They instantly foam up when you rub your wet hands together, so don't fret the next time you use a public b-room and the soap dispenser is empty (tsk tsk, public b-room!).

    Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and automatically liked it! I love that it comes in so many different colors and the top is wood.

After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

    Best of all, there's no installation required — see it in action on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter 

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98.

    30. A handheld milk frother for whipping up all of the foamy bevs of your dreams — no fancy espresso machine (or soul-shattering Starbucks line) required.

    Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video; however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 42 styles).

    31. A Shark Tank-endorsed Saucemoto dip clip, because when it comes to dunking and driving, safety first. This handy little gizmo attaches to your car's air vent and holds takeout sauce containers so you can keep your hand on the wheel (and never have to eat naked fries on the go ever again).

    You can also squeeze sauce packets into the included trays — check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

    Get set of two from Amazon for $10.90 (also available in packs of four, six, and ten, and four colors).

    32. A pack of soft bow headbands that'll keep your hair out of your face while you're applying and removing makeup. Reviewers say they're soft, SUPER cute, and will stay put without painfully digging into your head.

It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."

    Promising review: "Great coverage on the first swipe! I have been searching for a good mascara for months and have had no luck. I saw this was on sale and had good reviews so figured I’d give it a try. I was really really surprised most mascaras are goopy the first time you try time and end up getting all over I didn’t have an issue with this one which was a pleasant surprise, the brush is fiber and not silicon another pulse for me, first swipe I was shocked, it covered well and made my lashes look thicker and longer, I waited a few seconds and applied one more coat and that was it! No need to keep going back over them, I haven’t tried to remove it yet but I’m very happy with it and I think my search for the perfect mascara might be over!" —Amber Barrie

    34. An anti-blister balm, because there's nothing worse than feeling the new shoe you thought you'd already broken in start to rub against your foot in the middle of the day. It's formulated with vitamins A and C, which help soften and soothe chapped feet, and if you apply it before you put your shoes on, it'll proactively work to prevent painful raw skin.

    Promising review: "Saw this product on a TikTok review and thought to give it a go. I definitely say it causes new shoes to be less painful however if you apply a lot it can be a little transferable on shoes. Overall though I think this product is definitely worth it and it does make a difference with new shoe wear!" —Mich Elle

    35. A rapid egg cooker for anyone who nervously paces back and forth as their eggs are boiling, wondering, "Are they done?" With this, you'll get perfect hard and soft-boiled eggs every time, and the eggs-tra accessories (sorry) mean you can also use this bad boy for poaching, scrambling, and making omelets!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

    Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors, as well as several bundle options).

    36. An ingenious (and v fun to use!) cleaning gel to pull up all those crumbs out of your keyboard and little crevices in your car that, yes, do need to be cleaned out. Think of it as an excuse to use Silly Putty while feeling like a responsible adult at the same time.

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren

    Get it from Amazon for $6.88.

    37. A gorgeous Juvia's Place bronzer duo you'll want if getting a sun-kissed glow without actually subjecting yourself to harmful UV rays sounds like a great idea. The two-toned palate lets you achieve a pro-level contouring effect, and reviewers say the richly-pigmented powder blends like a dream.

    Promising review: "It's hard finding a good contour and bronzer shade that aren't too orange on my skin tone — so happy I found this on TikTok and ordered it!" —Avery

    Another promising review: "Amazingly beautiful and pigmented. Smooth and looks so good on my dark skin. Finally achieved that glowy look I've been after!" —Tavosius

    Get it from Juvia's Place for $18 (available in five duos). 

    38. A jewelry-cleaning stick with flexible micro bristles for getting into every nook, cranny, and crevice of your most intricate pieces. Plus, it's small enough for on-the-go polishing!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $8.89 (also available in packs of two or three, and with jewelry wipes). 

    39. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer to brighten dark circles and cover up blemishes, pronto. Let's face it — we've all been in those situations where we realize we look like we got mayyybe two hours of sleep the night before, but don't have all the time in the world to try to remedy it. With this, just dab, blend, and you'll instantly look more energized.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "TBH, at the start of the pandemic I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OKAY, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe."

    Promising review: "Throughout high school I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee

    40. A shampoo scalp massager you'll be angry you didn't invent yourself (but will absolutely LOVE using during all future showers). Not only does it help evenly distribute shampoo (no more residue pockets!), it'll give you alllll of those pleasurable scalp tingles.

    Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

    41. And a highly rated anti-dandruff shampoo, because we already have enough flakes to deal with in our social lives alone. This stuff's formulated with ketoconazole, which delivers welcome relief to dry, itchy scalps.

    It's safe to use on color-treated, chemically processed, and gray hair, and reviewers with all hair types and textures, including 3b-4c curls, said it worked for them. 

    Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." —Martin C. 

    Another promising review: "When I say this thing works, it WORKS. For the first week I wasn’t even using it properly (according to the instructions) but even then, brushing my (4C) hair no dandruff came out. Amazing product." —Kyu

    Get it from Amazon for $14.84.

    42. Glossier's Cloud Paint for perfectly glowy, flushed cheeks you'll wanna show off everywhere 🥰. The creamy formula blends seamlessly and starts off sheer for a more natural look — though you can always build if you want those cheeks to pop!

    Promising review: "I purchased Dusk first because I saw it on TikTok. It’s so creamy and easily blendable. Dusk is great for during the day. I purchased Storm second for at night or going out. I never thought I would like a cream blush. I have always been a powder girl. I may never go back!!!" —Felicia

    43. A super nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing because if you're anything like me, you get super excited about the start of summer, and then one day later you're like, oh, right, mosquitoes love me 😬 This ingenious device sucks out the saliva or venom that causes itching and irritation in bites, and since it doesn't rely on creams or chemicals, it's completely reusable.

    This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice (sea lice?!), and more!

    Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few time to relieve itchiness and I am convinced it works! Have been recommending it to my family and friends.  Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" —Joe

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors). 

    44. An ultra-fine continuous water mister you can use for everything from spritzing your hair to keeping your plants hydrated. The super-fine spray allows you to control the amount of saturation, and the ergonomic design makes it easy to pump!

    Promising review: "Another amazing product TikTok made me buy. Was looking for some thing for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking. This one has a longer spray time and the mist is perfect when I don’t want to get my hair too wet. All in all worth it especially for the price." —M. Zuniga 

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four sizes). 

    45. A two-stage knife sharpener that'll keep your most-used kitchen tool impeccably pointy. Using a dull knife can actually be more dangerous than a really sharp one since slicing requires more effort, so having one of these on hand is a great way of extending the longevity of your knife and fingers!

    I use this for my knives, and whenever I hear the 'zing!' of the blade going through, I feel *so* legit.

    Promising review: "Very sharp. I was about to buy a new set of knives until I saw this on TikTok. Works perfectly." —D'sons&Co

    46. A set of drill brush attachments you simply pop onto your drill to give your toughest stains a run for their money. This set includes three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes to suit corners, flat surfaces, and everywhere in between.

    Promising review: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'Heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. Givens

    Get the set of three from Amazon for $14.99 (available with soft, medium, stiff, and ultra-stiff bristles, and in six colors).

    47. An all-purpose stain spray, which is called "Emergency Stain Rescue" for a reason. Use it on any fabric in need of reviving, so whether you're famous for wearing white shirts whenever pizza night rolls around or have a toddler who loves hugging you with slimy hands, you'll wanna keep a bottle stashed in your cabinet.

    The Hate Stains Co. is a small biz that was founded by a parent who set out to create a stain remover that was nontoxic but effective. 

    Promising review: "I've tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I've tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded. I can't believe I didn't have this sooner, I'm about to buy a gallon!" —Mark Bogumil

    Get it from The Hate Stains Co. on Amazon for $7.95 (also available in packs of two or three, and with on-the-go wipes). 

    48. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that won't just benefit you, but also everyone you come into contact with since they'll be smelling your new and improved breath. Gum and mints only go so far, but if you wanna nip the problem in the (taste) bud, proper tongue maintenance is a great place to start!

    Just place the cleaner towards the back of your tongue, glide it forward to scrape off any residue, repeat a few times, and rinse!

    Promising review: "On the list of things TikTok made me buy ... You guys!!!! I don’t know why I waited so long to use one of these but here I am AMAZED!! I really recommend. True game changer!" —Aliyah Lofton
