Promising review: "For under $7 these pens are AMAZING. There are so many colors for seamless writing. I'm always worried that pens like this will kind of stick on the paper you're writing on, and then cause big ink blobs everywhere, but that is not the case with these. I use them everyday and they're great! Highly recommend, especially for the price! —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I use these EVERY DAY. I have thick curly hair and these are amazing because they have never got tangled or ripped my hair like normal ponytails. I’ve also worn them swimming and they do great in water also! —Layna Scherff

Promising review: "Great little invention that I used everyday! What an ingenious and adorable invention. I stuck this in my entryway where there is always an inevitable catch-all area. This magnet helps clear the clutter a little and looks super cute. I have hung three key rings on it at once. It was sturdy and there was plenty of room on the cloud. If I ever have to move it, I don't know if the peel and stuck tab will remain sticky, but figured I could use a 3M peel and stick if needed with no problem. A pretty good $7 investment! —Texas Mama

Promising review: "I really like this concealer for everyday use. Let me start off by saying I’m an admitted makeup addict so I have a ton of concealers mostly more expensive ones but this little gem really surprised me. I have very sensitive skin especially around my eyes and this concealer didn’t bother me at all. It works well, not a super glam perfect canvas well but great for a natural everyday look. It’s quick and easy to put on and doesn’t crease or wear off easily. It washes off easily with soap though. This is my new go to concealer for quick everyday makeup." —Amanda

Promising review: "These are just what the doctor ordered. Now the constant questioning – "Are these dishes clean?" – is finally over, thanks to these two, distinct, character totems. Probably the best purchase I have made during the pandemic. A million thanks." —Lea McKG

Promising Review: "No matter what I do or what expensive and high rated product I try, my flyaways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top of head flyaway frizz! I wish I would have discovered this product years ago! It smooths my hair out and truly lasts all day. Be careful, as a tiny bit goes a long way!" —RachelOK

Promising Review: "Girl! This edge control is bomb. I have 4b/4c hair and this lays my edges no problem! It even survives the Caribbean heat. It didn’t turn white on me unless I packed too much on, but I just sprayed with some water before I applied and it worked out. It smells GREAT and it’ll last me ages. I bought it like, months ago and I still have about half left and I use it every day. GREAT bang for your buck." —Chelsea R.

Promising review: "I work at an organization that uses a lot of conference lines with external clients and having this manual option to prevent others from seeing my video is such a nice peace of mind. It doesn't block the lens when opened and is super easy to apply. I also love that it is super discreet, and doesn't prevent my laptop from closing properly." —Manders

Promising review: "I had no idea what tongue scraping was but glad I do now. It's so gross and refreshing. I have been using it for about two weeks and my mouth feels SO MUCH cleaner. Stuff builds up on your tongue at night and you need to get it off! I'm kind of a beauty product junkie and sad to say that a lot of what I buy gets tossed aside and not used again but this product is now like brushing and a must everyday. I make sure to clean it and then wash with super hot water after each use!" —Betsy Channell

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like crazy...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!" —Carrie E Miller

Promising review: "I bought panels of these for my living room and they are absolutely adorable. Super pale shade of green and the slightest amount of glitter on the leaves. Very subtle, nice touch. I enjoy them every day, well worth it. I couldn’t make them myself for that price. I highly recommend them." —atagirl

Promising review: "These are wonderful for everyday application. Honestly, I’m lazy and prefer not to wash my applicators after every use. I’m able to use a clean one every application, and then just wash all the used ones in one sweep. They are much more dense than other brands but these work just as good, if not better. Promise." —Victoria cossata

Promising review: "We’ve had these for a few months now with no complaints. They have washed easily, none have broken or bent or dented although they are used daily. I would definitely recommend." —LovinLife

Promising review: "This stuff works. My skin is very oily, patchy, dehydrated, and plagued by hormonal acne. And after having a baby my skin went completely haywire and none of my usual skincare or diet was making any difference. I would say that using this cleanser twice a day plus the CeRave moisturizing cream cleared my skin about 85%, I would recommend using if you are experiencing persistent moderate/severe acne like I am. For those, like my husband, who have mostly clear skin and the occasional rare pimple this works on its own. I have not seen a pimple on his face since using this, and he uses it about once every other day." —passionfrootgreentea

Promising review: "This set has been perfect for my desk at work. The clutter in my drawer was so annoying to sift through before I found the right pen or paperclip. Now everything is easy to find and well organized. Nice to be able to customize arrangement as well. I may purchase more of these for cluttered drawers at home." —ccc_wood

"My roommates and I have varying levels of snobbery when it comes to coffee. For example, I'm cool with some Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, but one of my roommates only buys his coffee from a fancy beanery in Williamsburg. Despite our different palates, we all loved and raved about Atlas's coffee. We used an electric grinder and tried making it with both a normal coffee maker and a French press. The Colombian coffee was very smooth and chocolatey, with an almost creamy texture even when taken black." —Rebecca O'Connell

The mini waffle maker is four inches in size, weighs one pound, and comes with a recipe book.
Promising review: "Making waffles has been so easy and so joyful with this little gadget! I used the waffle recipe that came included: it was easy and produced SUCH TASTY waffles. A full batch is more than I can eat at one time, so I cook them all and then pop the leftovers in the freezer for toaster waffles, later! Then I realized that I could waffle *other things* - I made falafel waffles! Cinnamon roll waffles! Waffles from a savory biscuit batter (cheddar and scallion)! The possibilities are endless! This little gadget is so cute and handy and PERFECT for individual serving sizes!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These sheet straps are the best purchase I have ever made. I bought a new bed and had to put a thick mattress protector on it for the warranty to remain active, so my sheets fit very snugly. I toss and turn a lot and my dog moves around a lot, so the sheets were always coming off the corner. I bought these, and it only took a couple minutes to put on. It’s been a week and my sheets have stayed in place. This was the perfect simple and cheap solution for a major annoyance." —Shariece

These hair extensions are heat-resistant up to 300-ish degrees, so you can blow dry, straighten, and curl them with the rest of your hair.
Promising review: "I can't believe all the money I spent on natural hair extensions until I got these. OMG I'm so amazed by how natural they look. They are super voluminous and soft. I bought two since my hair is really short and I like to use a huge amount of hair, but even with one you can rock lots of hairstyles. Thank you so much for this product! In the picture I'm wearing only one and you can tell how good they are." —JE

Promising review: "I have been using Stasher's for a year now and I love them. They seal great (air tight), as a matter of fact sometimes I have a hard time opening them. They was up easily and are so durable and do not hold smells from items that have been stored in them. I have bought all sizes and use them everyday. Items freeze well in them and I use them to steam my vegetables in the microwave (just leave it open and the vegetables will use their own moisture to steam themselves). I use them while traveling to hold my toiletries, makeup, and pills. I have taken items that were in these bags from the freezer and put it right into a pot of boiling water and they are in great conditions. You can do so much with these bags and because of these bags I am down by 90% in the amount of plastic that I use. I like that." —Rvickroy

Promising review: "I came back to order a second bottle so I thought I should write a review. The oil does wonders for the skin around your nail as well as the nail itself. It definitely has extended the life of my manicure by preventing the cuticle from looking dry and rough. I apply it once every other day and I saw results in two weeks and it's way cheaper than some of the other stuff out there." —Jenna W.

Promising review: "This is an awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything, because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if it's not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

Promising review: "This is smooth, blends well with foundation and feels good on the skin. Sets well with powder. I sometimes wear it alone for a little smoother look, since it's colorless it doesn't look like foundation. The price is great and I've yet to see it in a store. I like that I can control how much to apply and a little goes a long way. It appears to wash off well. Will be buying it again." —Y. C.

Each set comes with three silicone dish sponges.
Promising review: "First off, they smell great! Second off, they don't end up smelling bad! Since they don't hold water, they don't hold stuff to get moldy and rotten... it stays fresh! They are fairly durable, they feel like rubber almost, it's silicone I think. They scrub really well, they are not affected by cleansers or abrasives. I find that one sponge will last me several months where a regular sponge is gross and ready to fall apart after a couple of weeks." —ggskip

This Paleo-friendly, gluten-free condiment is truly the cherry on top of any meal.
Promising review: "I'm in love with this! My entire family (with the exception of my husband, who doesn't like spice) reaches for this bottle of Mike's many times a week. We've tried it on biscuits, cornbread, fried chicken, bacon (AMAZING), and more. Mike's offers just the right kick of heat to balance the delicious sweetness of the honey. I plan on keeping this in my pantry." —MichiganTraveler

Promising review: "I'm so glad I purchased this! I have a tendency to forget things or spend 15 minutes searching for my keys in the morning. This is great because now I'm in the habit of putting my wallet in one of the pockets and attaching my keys to the hook as soon as I walk in the door. There are three different sized pockets so smaller items can be placed in the front one so they don't get lost. The back has a strap to put letters so you remember them. It's able to fit most standard sized envelopes and they stick out behind the organizer so you won't miss them. The material is sturdy and has held up to a few weeks of usage at the busiest door in my house. A smart purchase for sure!" —Joey L.

Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when purchasing these gloves, but the reviews were excellent, so I went ahead and bought them. I am so glad I did. I have small hands, but these gloves fit fine. Two things I really love about these gloves: 1. water does not seep inside (pet peeve of mine) and 2. they are easy to get on and off repeatedly (second pet peeve is when you need to wait until the gloves dry to get your hands back in them). The gloves do an excellent job cleaning the dishes and kitchen. I have not used the to do other rooms in the house but will be purchasing another pair to tackle other cleaning jobs." —Babs
