    Reviewers Dubbed These 40 Under-$50 Products "Life-Changing" For A Reason

    Not to be dramatic, but your life is about to change for the better.

    1. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses that can help protect your innocent eyeballs from the painful strain that occurs from too much screen time. Whether you sit at a computer all day or you're busy scrolling TikTok, consider your eyes protected.

    Note: results from wearing blue-light blocking glasses are mostly placebo effect. According to the Mayo Clinic, blue-light blocking or filtering products such as blue-light glasses can decrease the transmission of ultraviolet light involving wavelengths, but there's no significant improvement in vision performance or sleep quality. Read more about it here.

    Promising reviews: "I ordered these glasses in hopes that they would help me sleep a little bit better because I am always on my phone at night, and let me tell you how satisfied I am! These glasses are life changing and I would highly recommend them to anyone who uses their phone right before going to bed- which is probably all of you! They look great and fit even better." —Alex K.

    "These glasses honestly changed my life. Having online classes all day every day and staring at a screen, especially at night, was giving me headaches, making me tired, and straining my eyes to no end. With these glasses, I can read an online textbook without having to squint or take breaks for hours!! Even at night! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They’re also high quality and fit my face perfectly." —Amazon Customer

    2. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter you'll get so much use out of without ever having to mess with lighter fluid or a hazardous flame. It's especially great for extra-deep candles with multiple wicks.

    Promising review: "Turns lighting three-wick candles into Harry Potter magic. While "life-changing" may sound a touch hyperbolic, it really isn't if you've ever gotten a hand cramp from clicking a butane lighter that stubbornly refuses to produce a flame. Simple to charge with the included cord — and the charge is long lasting. (I charged mine a week or two ago and use it nearly every day.) Love that it has a light to indicate when it's on/off." —Call of the Mild

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors).

    3. A set of wildly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds if AirPods just don't work for your ear shape. These are waterproof and come with a few different silicone ear tips so you find the best fit. It's no wonder they have over 200,000 (!!!) 5-star reviews!

    Reviewer image of two black earbuds next to their charging case

    These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of total playtime (with the earbuds able to play for 10+ hours on a single charge!). 

    I was one of those people still walking around with a cord dangling from my ears because I could never find a wireless pair that worked for me. Enter these life-changing earbuds! I tried all the different silicone ear tips included and got *the* perfect fit. I use them for both listening to music/podcasts and talking on the phone. The sound quality is amazing and I have to charge these MAYBE once a week depending on how much I use them. I'm never going back to AirPods... or dangly wires.

    Promising review: "I thought I would try [this] brand... and I felt how I imagine Cinderella felt when she tried on the glass slipper. They were perfect and no matter how much I jumped up and down or shook my head, they stayed in place! The quality of sound is impeccable, nice highs and lows, with a decent amount of bass. Once I found the right match, the fit was extremely comfortable. I love these headphones, they have already changed my life for the better!" —Vivek D.

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors).

    4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka a reviewer-beloved cleaning paste for cutting through all kinds of tough grime in a flash. They don't call it the miracle cleaning paste for nothin'.

    A customer review before and after photo showing the results of using The Pink Stuff on their stovetop

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!"

    Promising review: "Our white tub has had some brown discoloration since we moved in six years ago. It also had some caulking residue that had gotten left from a shoddy caulking job. I have tried several different things and they made very little difference, if any. The Pink Stuff has changed my life! It was easy to use and did a wonderful job cleaning off all of the rogue caulk and the staining!! My tub is completely white now! Would definitely recommend to anyone who will listen." —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    5. A truly magical stain and odor-eliminating spray, which continues to receive the stamp of approval from pet parents. It removes those yucky stains and odors commonly found in homes with pets — but not yours, not anymore! Change your cleaning routine, change your life.

    Reviewer image of a stained carpet
    Reviewer image of same carpet now clean

    This spray contains natural enzymes that feed directly on the ammonia crystals and organic matter (gross, I know, but effective) to eliminate stains and odors. Goodbye forever, pet accidents!

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "My cat has behavioral issues and thinks he can pee on anything he wants. I've been holding off on purchasing an enzyme cleaner and that was my own loss, because this stuff is life changing. Whenever my cat peed on stuff, I used to just throw it in the washer, but I'd still get slight whiffs of cat urine from time to time. With this, the dreaded ammonia scent is GONE even before I throw it in the washer, and after the washer, it's as if there was never any cat urine on it. TLDR: BUY IT." —Myung Cha

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    6. A foot file because you shouldn't have to live with crusty feet a moment longer! You also won't have to run to the nail salon for a quick fix. Gently rub the file on your feet and watch the dead skin fall off. Gross? Yes. Satisfying? Very.

    Promising review: "THIS FOOT FILE IS LIFE CHANGING. I have lived with calloused feet for the last 15 years of my life from all through high school doing sports and now just doing everyday exercise. Through pedicures, other foot files I've tried, and basically everything...I have finally found my godsend of a foot file. My feet have never been softer and it has stayed soft for significantly longer than any other foot file I've ever used. I will literally never use another foot file, ever." —Sally 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    7. A truly transformative L'Oreal lamellar water rinse-out treatment so you can ~treat~ your hair to next-level softness in a matter of seconds... literally. Lather it on wet lengths, massage for eight seconds, and rinse it out. Magic!

    A reviewer with defined coily hair

    Shine in a silicone-free product?! Dreams really do come true. Reviewers with everything from stick straight to 4-c curls love this product.

    Promising review: "This stuff is life-changing. I’ve had extremely tangly hair since my baby was born and this made it so silky. It feels like heaven afterwards and the smell is great too!" —Alyssa

    Get it from Amazon for $9.87.

    8. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen for instant results that'll make you a believer. It can get rid of stains from wine, coffee, tea, etc. It's painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored.

    Promising reviews: "Life changing. I am so beyond impressed with this little pen...If you want great results you'll want to have 2–3 uses to really see the difference. But holy cow!! Not only has it whitened my teeth, but I've seen a noticeable difference over time, too. This stuff is awesome and one of the best purchases I've made in a while. If you're on the fence about it, don't be. Just buy it." —Sheri Blanchard

    "Whitening magic! This whitening pen changed my life, I love it! Very easy to use and can tell the difference almost immediately." —Chrsitin H.

    9. An electric mug warmer you'll wish you had for all the times your coffee got cold while you were answering emails. This will help keep your future beverages toasty so you don't have to constantly run back to the microwave for a reheat of defeat.

    Amazon

    Tip: reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once your drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!

    Promising review: "Finally, a way to thwart those who attempt to keep me from enjoying a hot coffee! Why do so many people want to TALK in the morning?!? I just want to drink my hot coffee in peace! Now you can yammer on and my coffee stays hot. Winning! This little warmer has changed my life and saved the lives of others. AND turns itself off when I'm dragged to a meeting and forget to do it myself." —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $21.79+ (available in eight colors/styles).

    10. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to help you effortlessly defeat the mysterious gunk lurking down there — without any elbow-deep dirty work on your part.

    Amazon

    Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!) and run the water just a bit. 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: "We moved into a townhouse that had a garbage disposal in the kitchen. Never had one growing up and didn't think too much about it until the funky smell started. I researched ways to clean it and came across these. Decided to order a four-pack and try them. THEY ARE LIFE-CHANGING. Just run some water, toss the packet in, and turn on the disposal. The little packet does all the hard work for you. I order a new set as soon as we start to run low." —lucas broshears

    Get it from Amazon for $3.78.

    11. A bottle of Bio-Oil with endless benefits so you'll never run out of ways to use it. It can help even your skin tone, fade stretch marks, and reduce the appearance of acne scars. It absorbs quickly so it won't feel heavy or greasy, either.

    Before photo of reviewer's red, slightly raised scar and an after photo of the same scar that is barely visible after using the oil
    reviewer with dark post-partum stretch marks that have lightened dramatically after using bio oil

    Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde can vouch for this stuff: "I've been using this on a scar on my chest for the past few weeks (trying to make it less noticeable before my wedding!), and it's slowly but surely fading away. I apply it at night, but reviewers recommend applying it in the morning as well for best effectiveness, so I'll start doing that too. It smells really nice and it doesn't feel as oily on your skin as you might think."

    Promising review: "Life changing skin product. I am using this for EVERYTHING! I have only used it a few days and already see a dramatic difference in my skin. I bought this because I just had a mole removed and my daughter has a scar on her face. We are applying to these areas, but I have used as a moisturizer on my skin (dry), my daughter's skin (combination), both of my sons (both dry, one acne prone) and my husband's skin (oily). We are all glowing! And the fine lines in my forehead are noticeably less!!" —Michelle Rayburn

    Get it from Amazon for $10.14.

    12. Essence's Lash Princess mascara adored by thousands of reviewers because it truly delivers on its promises by adding volume and length to your lashes. Everyone will ask what brand of falsies you use or if they can have your lash extension contact! Get ready to change their lives.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd swears by this mascara and said: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. Plus, it's cruelty-free!" Peep more deets in her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

    Promising review: "By far the best mascara I have ever owned. This one is the one. Absolutely life-changing. Love love it!!!" —Perez

    13. drill brush kit if you need all the help you can get to tackle your dreaded cleaning tasks. Simply attach the brush head to your drill, turn it on, and get rid of nasty grime ASAP!

    Reviewer using the brush to clean grime out of a tub

    Check out this TikTok of the drill brush kit in action. 

    Keep in mind the drill is NOT included. This is a set of three brushes that attach to your existing drill. If you need one, check out this one you might want to buy.

    The different color attachment heads serve different purposes. The white is a soft bristle that's best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle that's best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle that's best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle that's best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle that's best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle that's best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.

    Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.

    Promising review: "I originally put off purchasing these because it seemed like a silly or frivolous thing. But I finally got them and wow! I did the entire bathroom deep clean in 30 minutes. Easy to use and so fast. Life changing if you clean a lot! I might even clean more often, it was fun. :) —Margaret Johnson

    after photo of utensils organized in the drawer

    Promising review: "This was the best find of the year. We always struggled with our flatware drawer because it was too narrow to have any kind of organizer in it. When we found this my husband was skeptical that it would work. HAHA the wife was right! It worked out GREAT and it has changed my life. LOL Now when we open that drawer we are greeted not with a mess, but with nice, organized flatware that stays in its place." —Jennifer Cox

    Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

    15. A pumice stone toilet bowl scrubber for powering through the layers of rust, lime, and calcium buildup that have been accumulating for years. It's nontoxic and has ZERO mercy on dirt, but it's gentle enough to use on your porcelain throne.

    Promising review: "This product has far exceeded my expectations. We have well water and often get water stains even with an advanced water filtration system. I clean the toilets with bleach heavy toilet cleaners at least biweekly. I was always left with a ‘ring’ that I thought just came with well water toilets. Well. This has changed my life, really. I scrubbed one toilet less than 10 minutes and it’s basically brand new. No more nasty toilet rings!! BTW I never usually leave reviews, but this thing has made me so happy!! I will never be without this product!" —Nicole

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59.

    16. A water-based Folex carpet cleaner so you can take care of any unfortunate messes that occur right away. Just apply it to the mess, then gently agitate and blot with a clean cloth to get rid of stains. Voilà!

    Unlike other harsh cleaners, this one is odorless, nonflammable, and contains no solvents.

    Promising review: "Having pets, I've tried numerous stains removers. I read the reviews prior to purchasing but was still skeptical. This product is life-changing! It legit is magic; the stain just disappears. I love that it has no scent and is non-toxic. Best product that I've ever used by far!" —Ashley 

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multi-packs).

    17. An adhesive phone cardholder that'll make life SO much easier — no more rummaging through your black hole of a purse to find your wallet while you feel the line of people behind you growing longer by the minute.

    a reviewer photo of the adhesive pocket applied to the back of a phone and filled with a card and cash

    Promising review: "No joke, this little pocket changed my life. I don't have to carry a purse everywhere (unless I want to!). It also makes it much more difficult to leave the house without the essentials. The pocket does stretch to fit the cards you put in it up to about five. It remains stretched out if you decide to stop carrying one of your cards. If you're on the fence, buy it!" —SCarr

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 15 colors).

    18. A game-changing Wet & Forget cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. All you have to do is spray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. No scrubbing or wiping necessary! That's what I call a #lifehack.

    BTW, each bottle lasts for 12 weeks worth of treatments.

    19. A "Did you feed the dog?" tracker so your pet can no longer trick you into thinking they weren't already fed. This may not positively impact your pup's life, but you'll be glad not to fall for their antics anymore.

    Promising review: "This little gem has changed my life! My family was always using sticky notes to say who has been fed. This is quick and easy to use; just slide the tab, and done!!!" —jan sewell

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in a cat version).

    20. A powerful mouthwash with more than 4,500 five-star reviews on Amazon for a reason — it fights bad breath for 24 hours and doesn't have a super strong taste that lingers. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse!

    Promising review: "This product has been life changing for me! In my thirties I started to get tonsil stones which caused very very unpleasant breath. My husband and kids often reminded me how unpleasant it was. I tried brushing more often, flossing more, water picks, and using the standard alcohol based mouthwash twice a day. None of that helped the issue. Finally I heard about Therabreath and gave it a try. Problem solved! I gargled the first night I got it, went to bed, and when I woke up, my husband and I could not believe there was no odor. Both of us have been in shock at how amazing this product is. The odor is completely gone. I have been using it morning and night for over a month now and continue to have fresh breath with absolutely no odor. I 1000% recommend to anyone out there with similar issues." —Latoya

    21. A top-rated TruSkin vitamin C serum that'll help hydrate and brighten your skin at the same time. It's perfect for many skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination. The star ingredients here are vitamins C, E, and hyaluronic acid.

    I recently succumbed to the hype surrounding this serum and I am SO glad I did. I've been using it for over a month now and have noticed a visible brightening effect and fewer dry spots on my face. I like that it's a smooth, lightweight serum rather than feeling sticky and heavy. It sinks right in and doesn't leave behind a greasy residue, which is a serum win in my book!

    Promising review: "This product changed my life. I now leave the house without makeup but feel confident because this serum gives me such glowing skin with an even complexion. This is must for me every morning after my cleanser and before my moisturizer. They use a good stabilizer because the vitamin C doesn't oxidate over time in the bottle. I'm now on my second bottle and plan to keep buying. I have normal to dry skin type for the record!" —Kaitlyn Evangelista

    22. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier to quickly and easily dispose of leftover cooking grease. Sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash. Who would've thought??

    Promising reviews: "This thing is seriously life-changing. My best friend got one about three years ago and recommended it. I didn’t listen because lint rollers work great right? Wrong. They’re good for one pass then you have to rip off the piece and go again. This gets the job done immediately and there’s no waste. My winter comforter is great but hair gets embedded into it. This has changed my life. Couple of passes and the hair is completely gone." —Christie H.

    Promising review: "I'm in my mid 30's and NEVER believed using a satin pillowcase would actually help my hair. I purchased this a few months ago, and it's life-changing. I have dry, brittle, frizzy, 2B/2C curly hair that has always been a bit of a pain. This pillowcase completely rid my hair of ALL non-humidity-related frizz. It's also shinier, softer, and has less breakage.

Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs

    Promising review: "Life changing. Seriously. Out of all the products I have purchased on Amazon, this is my favorite. I have issues with organizing and twisted cords and cables that fall off my nightstand making everything a mess. I bought this pack of cable clip organizers and I put a few on my nightstand for my iPhone and other items and then one on my wall to vertically hold my laptop cable. All of my electronics now charge with ease and it's super easy to access my cables to plug or unplug the device. The stickies are great as the one cable clip on my wall next to my bed easily holds my larger laptop cable. No more searching for it! These little things are great!" —Aaron

    Promising review: "This product has changed my life! I only need makeup wipes now for small makeup errors when I'm applying makeup or maybe get some small amounts of mascara off in the morning. This cloth removes I would say a solid 98% of makeup. I still have a little amount of mascara afterward but not nearly as much as using 2–3 makeup wipes like I used to (my eyelashes hold mascara very well, too well.) And it takes off my liquid lipstick with one swipe which with makeup remover, it took SO long! You do want to keep up with washing it. And I would recommend getting it in black otherwise you will see all your makeup on the colored ones (as my friend discovered when she bought the pink one and wished she got it in black). This is not something you will regret." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "This is my first review ever on Amazon. I was compelled to write because this lotion has been life changing for my mother...Her skin around her fingers is always splitting and her palms always get blisters...She's been to the dermatologist and tried all sorts of topical creams to heal her hands but most only give her temporary relief. I randomly came across this product on Amazon and bought it because the reviews were so great [and] wow, within a week of using the lotion on a daily basis, her hands have shown significant improvement! The splitting on her fingers have started to heal and her hands are softer overall. I can't recommend this product enough!" —hk

    36. A hairbrush cleaning tool so you can *actually* demolish that mysterious crud that has been living in your brush for...too long. The bristles remove all types of hair from the brush while the pointed end rakes out loose hair.

    The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.

    Promising review: "I have always had so much trouble cleaning my hairbrushes and it would always take so long to pick out all of the individual fuzzies because there was pretty much no other way to do it. I would even just throw out hairbrushes when they got bad enough that I didn’t feel it was worth my time to clean. I tried this for the first time and my life changed. I am not even being dramatic. It is so easy to use, and it doesn’t even hurt your hand to hold it. It cut my cleaning time by like 75–80%, seriously. I probably only needed to swipe my brush through like 10 times. It got out ALL of the dust and weird fuzzy balls that are in the bristles. Incredible." —Erin

    37. A toenail brace that'll help correct your nail's natural curve — you know, the one that causes awful ingrowns and makes you want to avoid closed-toe shoes at all costs. This'll straighten things out and relieve that painful pressure that's been ruining your life for TOO long.

    The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it. You should start seeing results within three days.

    Promising review: "It really works. It has changed my life, and I have no more pain. I have had toe pain for 20 years...I was at the point that I was finally going to the doctors to have the nail removed when I came across this product. I can't believe how well it works. No nail pain at all, none!!! The directions are pretty easy to follow... Yes it seems expensive but for the relief it's totally worth it. I really can't believe it worked but it did." —Data Virtualization Guru

    Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Clean up is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love I can cut down to size to fit my toaster oven also. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer
