    Just 45 Products So Good That — Like Tom Brady — You'll Never Want Them To Retire

    Please, please, pleaseeee never be discontinued 🙏

    1. A set of no-waste beeswax food wraps made from fully biodegradable organic cotton, jojoba oil, and tree resin. Trust me — it's a whole lot easier than trying to tame cling wrap.

    A pack of beeswax wrap which comes with three differently sized sheets
    A reviewer's photo of the wrap used to keep cookies fresh

    Bee’s Wrap is a woman-founded B corporation that's been handcrafting their eco-friendly product in Middlebury, Vermont since 2012. The company works closely with a number of environmentally conscious groups including 1% for the Planet, The Bee Cause, The Rozalia Project, and National Geographic.

    Promising review: "Can't recommend these beeswax wraps enough. The antimicrobial aspect of the beeswax keeps fruits and vegetables super fresh for much longer than plastic bags. They keep bread soft and fresh for much longer than Ziplocs. They are so much better for the environment, and they can be reused for months. We have been using our set for almost two years and they are still as good as new. No waste! Just make sure to wash them with cool water, as warm/hot water will melt the wax." —Publisher

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99.

    2. pack of K-Cup cleaning pods that're basically like a full-body cleanse for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse

    Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    3. A bottle of Cuccio Naturale's Revitalizing Oil to hydrate dry skin and strengthen your nails so you can work on growing them out, if that's something you've always dreamt of doing!

    Promising review: "This product... There is so much I can say. I’ve used so many other cuticle oils, and they’ve only kept them oily and smooth for about two hours... This stuff not only smells like heaven, but it’s a HUGE bottle for the price, which was the first perk... Then I used It for my own manicures and OMG. My cuticles were still smooth the next day when I went to work. It not only softened them, but helped the dry skin on the areas that it got on. The smell is wonderful. I’ve been putting it on at night before bed, and it lasts ALL DAY the next day. About a week of use so far, and I’ve had at least two people ask me how my cuticles look like they do, and did I JUST get a manicure?! NOPE! It’s this stuff. I swear I would buy stock in it if I could." —Whitney Bryant

    Get it from Amazon for $10.45+ (available in two sizes and four scents).

    4. A finishing stick that looks like a lil' mascara wand, but it's actually for the hairs on your head! If flyaways are something that bug you, give your hairline a good swipe and watch them be tamed without a fight.

    Or if you have textured hair, a 24-hour edge tamer (but reminder: No one has to lay their edges — it's a personal choice!).

    Promising review: "Seriously, how on earth does this work?? I have tried everything to get my baby hairs that never really grew back from chemo to lay down and nothing worked. This product works. I mean, it WORKS. So, in the picture I uploaded, the hair that is sticking up on the left side of my head (right side on the picture) is what I am talking about. You can see that there's a good bit of it and that it basically just stood almost straight out. Not anymore. Not with this finishing stick. And it doesn't make your hair crunchy or shiny, either. Y'all, I'm serious! This product is simply amazing." —Liesl McQuillan

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98.

    5. A bottle of dog spot repair if your puppy has a favorite pee spot and it shows... This stuff will get new grass growin' in no time so you can get back to hosting BBQs.

    Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in five sizes and three styles).

    6. A bottle of Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray which allows you to cut your drying time in HALF and acts as a thermal protectant and frizz tamer all the while. It's now racked up over 12,000 5-star reviews as well as a following on TikTok, sooo safe to say it's universally loved.

    Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on you hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quit a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk, but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy) and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides, and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" —Janice C. Henderson

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $20.82.

    7. A tub of Soap & Glory's Flake Away to decimate dead skin with an exfoliating but gentle mix of sea salt, sugar, apricot seed, and shea butter. Slather it on all over your body and you'll feel slick as a dolphin after.

    Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed

    A few years ago — when I used to live with a roommate — I spotted this stuff in the shower and decided to "borrow" some (TY, TY Sam!). From the moment I opened the lid and got a sniff of it, I was SOLD. To put it lightly, the scent is intoxicating. Like really — I wish you could smell it through the screen. Second, it does what it's supposed to do. I apply it after shaving — rubbing it in circles so the crystals really exfoliate my skin — and it leaves my legs so smoothhhhhhhh. The scent also lingers for a really long time which I obvi love.

    Promising review: "I needed something to exfoliate my back, shoulders, and arms. This is a great exfoliator. It's not too rough, but it gives great exfoliation. Once I opened the jar, I was pleasantly surprised with how great this product smells. Added bonus!" —kcs

    Get it from Target for $13.99 or Ulta Beauty for $15.

    8. An acupressure wristband if you're looking for an all-natural way to alleviate nausea, motion sickness, or morning sickness because feeling like you have to hurl 24/7 is a major downer.

    It's also been known to work for postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea. It applies pressure on your wrist to help ~restore balance~.

    Promising review: "I'm eight weeks pregnant and have had morning sickness nonstop every single day, and it has made my appetite go away so much that I feared for my baby's health. I needed a quick fix so I could eat again. It worked amazingly. I went to Denny's and ate my weight in pancakes! It feels so good not to feel nauseous all the time." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $8.59.

    9. A bottle of organic, cold-pressed castor oil with loads of fatty acids that'll nourish and hydrate your scalp thus encouraging healthy hair growth. For the best results, use it as a hair mask while you watch the new season of Survivor. (AKA use it for an hour at a time.)

    The clean formula can be used on your eyebrows and eyelashes, too! Apply one to two drops to a cotton swab and then gently brush through your hair to condition and nourish.

    Promising review: "I doubted it at first but I was desperate to get my hair back so I just wanted to give it a try. IT ABSOLUTELY WORKED after two months. I have a completely bald spot on my head, like no hair at all. After two months there is baby hair coming out and filling that spot up. I believe after two more months that spot will look completely full and back normal!!!! Update: bought this Jun 20, 2020 and now it’s April 18, 2021, my bald spot is completely grown and full of hair. Applied twice a week and left it overnight. I am so happy now!" —Phoebe Lam

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes). 

    10. A set of oil-blotting charcoal sheets that will clean up your T-zone so well, you won't have to spend one more second feeling like a grease-slicked duckling on a Dawn dish soap commercial.

    Reviewer's before-and-after with an oily T-zone and then with no oil on their T-zone

    Promising review: "I have lived with oily skin my whole life and, when spring and summer arrive, my face is even more oily. These blotting sheets are much better than the ones you get at the drugstore, and I only need to use one sheet for my entire face (as opposed to the two sheets I need to use with other brands)." —Boa C.

    Get a set of 200 from Amazon for $11.95.

    11. Bread Hair Mask which works on all hair types, but was really developed with curly and textured hair in mind! Australian Kakadu plum + starflower oil join forces to create a superrrr hydrating, but super lightweight and creamy formula.

    And more from BuzzFeed shopping editor Kayla Boyd who is pictured above! "Bread Beauty Supply is an Australia-based, woman-owned business that was founded by Maeva Heim in 2020. This product works best for hair types 3a–4c. I recently started using Bread products and I really love how lightweight and easy they are to use. Since I have mixed textured hair that's been frequently dyed, it tends to get very dry. After using this deep conditioner my hair felt so much better and softer. In addition to that, the smell is A-MA-ZING. Definitely one of my new favorite wash day products."

    Promising review: "Amazing product! Fantastic! I appreciate the fact that its bigger than the shampoo, since I have a tendency to go through conditioner quite quickly, and I think this maximizes my use because 1) the size and 2) its so effective that you don't need to use a lot of it. The texture is marshmallow-y and it smells amazing (Froot Lops?). It isn't offensively strong either, and lingers pleasantly." —Irina G.

    Get it from Bread Beauty Supply for $28.

    12. A Baseboard Buddy with a four-foot extendable pole that makes cleaning your baseboards, moldings, ceiling fans, and grates nice and easy on your knees, shoulders, and back. If you're someone who forgets to clean those things until big ol' cobwebs are visible, it's probably a good thing to have on hand.

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." —retired

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99

    13. A set of clip-in hair extensions to add instant volume to any do. No more burning yourself on a curling iron or leaving the house only to question if you turned off said curling iron 30 minutes later!

    a reviewer holding the blonde extensions
    the same reviewer with the extensions in

    Promising review: "This was the best nine dollars I've spent in a long time! The color is a perfect match to my hair. The hair is very long — I cut at least 12 inches off. It stays in place very well. This is a fun addition to my going out look." —SBonert

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six lengths and 14 colors).

    14. A terra-cotta bear that, when presented with a bag of brown sugar, will bravely say "I volunteer as tribute!"

    A hand holding the terracotta bear
    The terracotta bear in a bowl of brown sugar

    This adorable little guy can be used a few different ways. To keep things like brown sugar and fresh cookies nice and moist, soak it in some water and then place it in the same container. On the flip side, keep things like chips and crackers nice and crispy by using it dry.

    Promising review: "Not only do I use one of these little fellows for my brown sugar, I picked up a tip from someone else. If you take one of these little guys and don't run him under water, but leave him perfectly dry, he will help keep your electronics such as cameras dry in the camera bags during humid months by absorbing the humidity. How perfect is that? A multitasking little fellow. Well worth getting multiples of. I'm sure I can find other uses as well." —A.B.A.

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    15. An Alleyoop Pen Pal which is ‼️ four ‼️ products in one and packed into a super nostalgic applicator that resembles a Bic ballpoint. The tiny but mighty gadget has everything you need to touch up your eyes, lips, brows, and high points so you can carry just a quarter of what you'd normally need to get the job done.

    Jasmin Sandal / BuzzFeed, Alleyoop

    My BuzzFeed shopping colleague Jasmin Sandal has this and loves it. She says:

    "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to something I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen... for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already overflowing makeup bag!"

    Promising review: "Such a time saver to have this 4-in-1 tool! I use it daily and love that it is so compact." —Lauren F.

    Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).

    16. A pack of slow cooker liners if you love yourself a one-pot meal but don't love having to scrape away baked-on food when you're finished.

    Walmart

    PS: They also come in handy with dishes going into a water bath (think: cheesecakes, custards, and puddings). 

    Promising review: "These bags are so wonderful. They are thick enough to deal with a few scrapings with spoon while stirring. And the cleanup takes seconds instead of an hour of soaking and five more minutes of cleaning. Very impressed with this project." —Taoswaan

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $3.18 or a pack of eight from Walmart for $4.24. 

    17. A set of Avarelle rounded or extra-large hydrocolloid patches that can suck all the gunk out of your whiteheads while you sleep. If you have a habit of picking and popping surprise blemishes, keep some of these on hand.

    A reviewer wearing one of the transparent hydrocolloid patches
    A reviewer showing the gunk removed by one of the used patches

    Promising review: "I’ve been experimenting with these for the last month and a half, and I am in love. They are really thin and blend into my highly freckled face incredibly well...I have gone out in public twice with them on, because when I did my last second mirror check before I got out of the car, I didn’t notice I had them on! While they absolutely help clean out the skin underneath, the biggest thing it does for me is stops me from touching my face. When I'm stressed out, I will absentmindedly touch/run my hands along my face and jaw constantly. Now, when I notice I’m doing that, I run into the bathroom and put these on any spots I have. Since they are thin and stick really well, I am able to leave them alone and stop touching my face." —MelsBells

    Get a box of 40 round patches for $8.49 and a box of 8 extra-large patches for $8.49, both from Amazon.

    18. A biodegradeable bacon sponge on which you can drain grease from fried foods because you could not only clog your *own* drain if you dispose of it improperly, but your whole neighborhood sewer line as well.

    FYI: The towel absorbs 10 (!) times it's weight in grease and absorbs liquids 20 times faster than other fabrics. Plus, it comes from a woman-owned small businesses based in Denver, Colorado. 

    Promising review: "This is great. I don’t like using loads of paper towels in draining meat, but I didn’t know what else to use. The bacon sponge is absorbent and easy to clean. It performs as advertised and makes me feel better about eliminating another source of waste." —PamelaRenee

    Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $13.50.

    19. A chic set of fidget spinner rings you can play with whenever you feel a bit anxious. That way, you don't bite your nails, crack your knuckles, or chew on the end of all your pens.

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 7–13 and two finishes).

    20. An all-natural vegan stain-removing stick capable of ridding the most PERSISTENT stains from grease and blood to dirt and grass. Swipe some on to the stain and then wash your garment as you usually would — you don't even have to launder it immediately!

    a pile of stain sticks
    Shady Creek Naturals / Etsy

    Shady Creek Naturals is a family-owned small cleaning biz based in Dallas, North Carolina. Using their stain stick is *so* simple. Just wet whatever is stained and then give it a good rub with the solid formula before throwing it back in the wash. 

    Promising review: "Ordered this awhile back and just remembered I had it. THIS IS AMAZING. The stains came out of a couple of items as I rubbed the stick on them. Only thing I have ever seen like that before. Highly recommend purchasing." —KKS

    Get it from Shady Creek Naturals on Etsy for $8.

    21. A pouch of foaming garbage disposal cleaner to eliminate the special stank that can only be produced after years of shredding up meat, produce, and whatever that mystery blob was that came out of your long-lost Tupperware.

    The bag which comes with 4.9 ounces of lemon-scented cleaner
    A reviewer's video of them using the cleaner with the caption

    Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.

    Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.25.

    22. A concentrated leather cleaner you can use on ~literally~ anything made from leather. That means your couch, car seats, purses, shoes, jackets, or saddles if your family isn't full of dog or cat people, but horse people.

    Promising review: "I bought a sorta white leather sectional for $150 stained and dirty but no major wear or tears. Well, the pictures tell it all! It took at least three cycles of gentle scrubbing and wiping off raised dirt and a little extra for bad stains! A lot of elbow grease but holy crap! Super nice couch now!" —iPoutside365

    Get it from Amazon for $16.10.

    23. A tube of L'Oréal's Voluminous eyelash primer ready to give your lashes *just* the lift they need so your mascara can lend them the most dramatic boost they've seen yet.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Ali Faccenda uses this and loves it. She says:

    "Over the years I've noticed my lashes falling out and they're not as voluminous and long as they once were (*cries*). This mascara primer has changed all of that. I use it in tandem with the Thrive Causemetics mascara for a dynamic duo that hasn't failed me yet. The primer base adds a noticeable amount of fibers to thicken my thin lashes, which gives me a full-lash look."

    Promising review: "This voluminous primer works! A MUST-BUY FOR MASCARA USERS!!!! I have long lashes and have been satisfied with my routine thus far. I typically use waterproof mascara but the curl effect wears off after about an hour, my lashes basically start drooping so I have to re-curl a few times throughout the day. This product has eliminated my problems so it saves me a ton a time! I actually look forward to doing my eye makeup now and don't know how I ever lived without this! It make the lash hairs thicker, separates the hairs (helping to fill the gaps, making lashes look fuller), and it helps mascara adhere easily and evenly! PLUS, it makes my eyelashes look WAYYYYYY better, so it definitely lives up to my expectation. I have sensitive eyes and wear contacts and have been using this for almost a month, I've had ZERO issues in that area. I don't normally buy L'Oréal so this was a happy experience that encouraged me to buy other products from this company." —CC Hustle

    Promising review: "I never leave reviews on Amazon but this grout cleaner definitely deserved a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-eez and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." —Tyler

    26. A set of TikTok-famous storage scrunchies so you can keep your cash money, lip balm, keys, and other small accessories nice and accessible while you're at the gym, running a quick errand, or otherwise avoiding having to carry a purse.

    28. Baby Foot Exfoliating Foot Peel that's SO effective, the before and after photos will both give you nightmares and earn a spot on your vision board.

    The red and white packaging
    A reviewer's photo of their peeling skin 10 days after using the foot mask

    If foot graters give you the heebie-jeebies (hi, hello, it's me!), try these instead. Just slip on the booties for one hour, wash away the leftover solution (there are 16 natural extracts), and then wait patiently as it takes five to seven days before your feet shed like a freakin' iguana. At the end, you'll be left with moisturized, baby-soft tootsies!

    Promising review: "WOW. Just WOW! I rarely take the time to write product reviews, but, honey, this stuff is the real deal. My feet were gross. Thick skin, crusty-looking. I have tried using blades myself to no avail. Then a friend told me about this stuff, so I decided to try it. I showered and then put on the 'boots' and taped them closed and covered my feet with two layers of socks so the gel wouldn't seep out. I waited an hour, then took them off. They didn't look any different. So, I patiently waited to see some action. Today is the third day and I cannot believe my eyes! The skin is literally coming off in big sheets. If you are the kind of person who loves peeling skin and wants to see a drastic difference, you should buy this stuff. I love it so much I want to buy it for people. Even people I don't like. LOL. I know a lot of people with gross feet, who I think this would be perfect for. Yes. TMI, I know. But this is really amazing stuff. Don't walk. RUN and buy this stuff. (My apologies for the POTUS-style review)" —Annie

    29. A ChomChom roller to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.

    A different reviewer's before and after picture which shows a cushion covered in lint and fur and then nice and clean
    Chelsea Stuart / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    I have two cats who shed like it's their full-time job and let me tell you — this thing is amazing. I used to vacuum my bed/rug/their favorite chair multiple times a week and follow that up with a traditional lint roller that I'd have to use 10 to 15 sheets in one go. With this nifty tool, I give whatever I'm cleaning a few good rolls and then empty out enough fur to felt them few cat toys (I don't *actually* do that, but I could if I wanted to).

    Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair, I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way and make a mess. It's the best. I don't have any 'before' pictures because as soon as I started rolling stuff I went crazy." —Meowser

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

    30. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won't stop.

    Promising review: "This has made my list of Top 5 Amazon purchases EVER. I have two Australian shepherds and make extra money by dog sitting through Rover. As you can imagine, my couch takes a lot of damage from the constant flow of pups. I had been scrubbing the spots individually as they happened with a spot treatment, but I was left with discolored and stained cushions. I also didn’t feel like the scrubbing was truly getting the couch CLEAN. These cushions have been vomited on, puked on, stepped on with muddy paws, and licked until damp (I know; disgusting). Well, I am amazed with the Bissell Little Green! I have no doubt that this purchase will be well worth the reasonable price for the use I’ll get out of it as a dog sitter. I had planned to use it as a spot cleaner (which I will), but after watched the dirty water come off of the 'clean' areas of the cushion? I’m considering just cleaning the whole couch!" —Ivy

    31. An adjustable Boobuddy — a strap you can wear over or under the top of your sports bra so you don't get punched in the face when running or practicing some other high-impact activity.

    Promising review: "LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! I am a 36F and have an impossible time finding a sports bra for running. I used this band over a cheaper sports bra and am never going back. It’s so comfortable and so much more breathable than my expensive max support bras. I need an extra now for when this is in the wash!" —Elizabeth G.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors and small and medium sizes, which fit dress sizes 6–12 and 12–18).

    32. A pack of reusable cloth towels so instead of unspooling an entire roll of paper towels next time you spill something, you can just reach for *one* of these guys and call it a day.

    Promising review: "Incredibly fast shipping, I love them. They cling well to each other so there's no need for snaps. I'm officially done with real paper towels. Also they included a couple of items for free to try. I will never shop from anyone else." —Cassidy

    Get it from Cozy Simple Living on Etsy for $26.50 (available in various patterns).

    33. A set of bedsheet holders that are basically like suspenders for your mattress, because nothing ruins a morning like having the corner of your fitted sheet pop off as you roll over.

    Each pack comes with four bands which can stretch from 12 to 18 inches and hold adequate tension.

    Promising review: "Say goodbye to rearranging your fitted sheet every morning! My boyfriend sleeps like he’s rolling down a hill, so every morning I would wake up to the scratchy feel of my mattress cover because my soft silk fitted sheet was all over the place. Thanks to these Bed Bands, our sheets stay put no matter what. The only way for your fitted sheet to come off is if you manually remove these first. I wish I would have bought this so much sooner." —Khalysee

    34. A Seche Vite top coat to prevent chipped polish and yellow nails after your next at-home manicure. Better yet, reviewers say it dries so fast that they've even taken showers just 15 minutes after applying it without fear of bubbles or smudging! 🤯

    Promising review: "I am apparently hard on all nail polishes. A typical DIY manicure would last a day or two before chipping. I have tried MANY top coats and DIY gel solutions, but read recent reviews on Seche Vite gel top coat and thought I would try it. I was surprised. I did my nails on a Thursday and they lasted me through Tuesday before chipping. This was pretty amazing." —Mommy May

    PS: It comes with a Scrub Mommy so you don't have to purchase a sponge separately.

    Promising review: "We live on the outskirts of town and our water is so hard! This is the only thing that removes those hard water stains without using heavy chemicals! I was previously using The Chemical Bros. Water Spot remover and I had to let it sit and wear gloves! After finding this, no more!" —Marissa Testerman

    Get it from Scrub Daddy for $9.99 or Target for $12.19.

    36. An easily washable drip catcher if *nothing* grinds your gears quite like a soapy counter puddle after you just spent precious minutes cleaning dishes because you're not part of the 1% (AKA – the dishwasher-owning class).

    Two Lilacs Studio is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon run by Jacy Stratton.

    Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina

    Get it from Two Lilacs Studio on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).

    37. A tube of Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base to ensure your lewk stands the test of time and doesn't crease, smudge, or fall victim to oiliness just minutes after you're done applying it.

    Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" —Melissa Mae

    Get it from Amazon for $13.75.

    38. A tub of The Pink Stuff which can clean anything you throw at it — tires, pots and pans, stove tops, showers, your five year old's crayon wall mural — you name it! They might not have North West's skills quite yet, but they've got time.

    This TikTok-famous paste can clean literally ANY mess whether it's in your bathroom, kitchen, basement or anywhere in between.

    Promising review: "Amazing product. 99% all natural... no chemicals, no toxic odor. Shower wall hard water stains completely wiped out. I used other products on my 10-year-old oven door and it never came as clean. First try, I wiped on, wiped off. (Recommended at least five minutes.) Second try, I applied Pink and left it over night. Baked on grit was softened enough I could use a spoon to scrap. End result... BIG DIFFERENCE. By far the best versatile, nontoxic, gentle abrasive product. I would love a case so I could go crazy." —ap808

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    39. A jewelry-cleaning stick with long, soft bristles that help the cleaning solution get in every nook and cranny of your setting. The formula works great on diamonds and precious stones, so you won't have to make monthly trips to your jeweler anymore.

    Promising review: "I worked several years in a fine jewelry store that sold this product. We used the dazzle stick from time to time to add a quick shine to merchandise that was just tried on and on days our jeweler was not there to professionally clean items. I was always impressed with the instant shine the diamond stick provided. The brush tip is very helpful for getting under the stones and in the setting where gunk builds up reducing that brilliant shine. I recently got engaged and immediately purchased a diamond dazzle stick of my own. It's the perfect way to quickly give my ring some shine before leaving the house. You simply brush, rinse, dry and go." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.88.

    40. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you won't attract unwanted critters after flinging pasta into the half-inch crevice for the third time this week. We all know nobody is actually cleaning it out (don't try to lie to us), so go ahead and do yourself a favor.

    The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.

    Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now, when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

    41. A set of waterproof eyeliner stamps for those who LOVE the look of winged liner, but can't help but shake like a leaf when attempting to paint them on. If you're anything like me, you always get one *perfect* eye and then seemingly forget how to use your hands when it comes to your second eye.

    This set comes with two stamps — one for your right eye and one for your left. Once you apply the wing, flip the pen over to find a fine tip applicator so you can finish off your look.

    Promising review: "This thing is amaaaazing! I pretty much gave up on winged eyeliner because I just couldn’t get it right. Didn’t even know stamps existed and randomly came across this and it had good reviews so I gave it a chance. Got it in the mail and tried it right away and was sooo excited that I used the left stamp for both sides and it looked a little crooked. Then I remembered there’s a right and a left. Tried it again and it turned out beautifully. There’s just something about winged eyeliner that’s so fly. Ohhh and another thing. It’s pretty darn sturdy! I took a nap and caught myself rubbing my eye a little and thought 'dang I messed up my eyeliner' and when I got up and checked it was still in tact! It def lasts all day." —Chrissy

    Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in three sizes).

    42. A set of Miracle-Gro spikes which will revive your potted plants with all of the micronutrients they've been missing. They're safe to use with any indoor plant and work for a full two months.

    Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

    Get them from Amazon for $3.47+ (available in packs of 24 and 48).

    43. A bottle of Sienna Naturals' Curl Elixir capable of refreshing roots with just a few spritzes! Whether you're wearing your hair in a protective style or are looking to add a little definition to your curl pattern, the brand's co-owners — Issa Rae and Hannah Diop — got you.

    With aloe vera, baobab, and green pea proteins, as well as grape-seed oil, the spray delivers moisture to both high- and low-porosity stands.

    Promising review: "I’m used to wearing heavier hair creams and leave-in conditioners to get my desired look. So, admittedly, I was skeptical when I went to use this relatively lightweight product. The outcome is all of the desired benefits (curl pattern, shine, reduced frizz, softness) without any of the undesired aspects, such as residue, waxy or crunchy texture, and contains no fragrances or other toxic products. I had wash-and-go hair on wash day AND it looks terrific upon waking up this morning. I’m really pleased." —Malia M.

    Get it from Target for $20.49 or Sienna Naturals for $20

    44. A jar of O'Keeffe's hand cream ready to swoop in and save your mitts after 20+ Purell applications. Keeping 'em clean is of the utmost importance, but if you already suffer from dry skin, hand sanitizer probs has you in a world of hurt.

    Promising review: "I have a skin condition (related to eczema or psoriasis) on my hands that causes blisters, dryness, and cracking, especially during the winter. I used to scald my hands with hot water to get relief from the itching. I also used to keep bandages with me wherever I want to cover the bleeding cracks. The only things that has brought my condition under control are refraining from all caffeine and alcohol, limiting spicy food intake, and using O'Keeffe's after showering or washing my hands. It took about 30 years for me to realize these things and I'm glad I finally am able to manage my skin condition. O'Keefe's has a protective barrier and works its way deep into the tissue to get at those thick calloused areas on my knuckles. I keep O'Keefe's with me wherever I go and it's provided me with relief far better than anything else I've tried over or under the counter." —SoulRaker

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

    45. And a bottle of Laneige's Glowy Makeup Serum which not only gives you an incredible glow when applied before your foundation, but it also keeps oil in check so you don't look like you rolled around in Vaseline 15 minutes after you leave the house.

    Promising review: "This is super hydrating and makes my skin super glowy without looking too shiny. I live in a desert climate so I need as much hydration as possible and this gets layered on with two other serums under my moisturizer. Really am pleasantly surprised!" —bklynmakeup
