Promising review: "My husband is always hot so I thought I would try these. I’m so glad I did!! He loves them. They are soft and lightweight and definitely keep you cool. I’m always cold so I’m not a fan but I just pile on the blankets. I would absolutely recommend these sheets for those who want to be cool at night and sweat free. Plus they are great to keep any bugs at bay as they don’t like the cool so I can rest knowing no creatures will find there way into our bed." —Amber Gonsalves

Fellow BuzzFeed editor Rachel Dunkel (looking adorable in the pictures above) has had major success styling with it. Check out her hot air brush review for more deets!
Promising review: "This does a shockingly great job. Like, other reviewers stated, I used a 'regular' blow-dryer to dry 80% of my hair, then sectioned off portions and used this magic tool for the perfect smooth and silky curl. I don't need to use any type of heated straightener or iron to get a sleek look and the curl lasts for days. It's also very lightweight so your arm doesn't get tired and you don't need to do that awkward left hand/right hand juggle between a dryer and a round brush. I am beyond thrilled with the results." —LeelaDow

Muslin Comfort is a woman-owned small biz based in California. After her own experience with post-partum night sweats (and becoming increasingly jealous of her son's breathable muslin blanket), Shyla created an adult-sized prototype and hasn't turned back since, expanding into designing other high-quality home linen essentials out of muslin.
Promising review: "Nice light weight, generous size and the texture and color are great. They are absorbent and soft and lightly exfoliating as you dry off. Washed perfectly and shipped quickly. I placed a second order right after trying my first!" —Jodi

Promising review: "I was skeptical about using this. I read through the reviews and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. I have combination skin, and it's hard to find a product that not only moisturizes dry skin, but also fights oil. It's lightweight, easy to use, and is lightening up the dark spots on my neck. Try this. You won't be disappointed!!" —ablooming1

Because it doesn't rely on adhesive paper, you only have to buy it once and can reuse it — cleaning the hair off the brush when it gets clogged, of course!
Promising reviews: "HOLY. HAIR. This thing is INCREDIBLE!!! We have a Pyrenees mix dog who loves to sleep in the bed with us. I love having him in the bed but was feeling fed up with having to get the whole vacuum out once or twice a week to try and suck up all the hair he shed. I really wanted something lightweight, simple, and effective for getting the hair off of our comforter. When I found this product, I was doubtful that it could be THAT amazing...I was SO WRONG. This little thing picks up hair you didn’t even know was there, traps it all in a convenient little tray for disposal, and is reusable! No more expensive sticky lint rollers or heavy vacuum cleaners needed! I get excited every time I get to use it because it continues to blow my mind. Highly recommend for all pet owners!!!!" —Carson

Promising review: "Seriously struggle with frizzy hair from southern summer humidity. This product is the perfect lightweight solution that really works. I’ve used many smoothing tinctures and oils in the past, but this is by far the best. It does not leave your hair feeling greasy or heavy." —Samantha C.

Promising review: "I bought a pair of these in black at DSW and loved them so much I wanted another pair. They are slip on (which I like), but tie to make more snug if needed. I feel like my feet are supported and yet these are lightweight, don't make my feet sweat and I can wear them all day. (As a shoes off and slippers on in the house person, sometimes I forget to take these off!) I love the maroon color to spice up my footwear palette. (I am not a runner, but I do wear these for walking, power walking, and playing with the kids and they have been perfect for that.)" —Joyellastaff

Promising review: "Let me start by saying I’ve been looking for a GOOD (cruelty-free) mascara for years. This one is just prefect. So lightweight, easy to take off, and is pretty natural unless you add several coats then you have a fake eyelashes look. Very versatile and CRUELTY-FREE!!" —Alizee

Promising review: "After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes).
Promising review: "The overalls are super cute. I have a short torso so the bib fits on the shortest length for me. I love the weight of the fabric. The fabric is lightweight so it will be comfortable during the summer. The brown color isn't dark brown, but more of a dark caramel brown." —Unpretentious Geek

Promising review: "Really happy with this backpack. Took it on two flights and walked all over with it. It is just at the limit for TSA guidelines. Many pockets — I kept so much stuff in it and everything was in its place. No damage to things. Lightweight and sturdy. No regrets at all. This was meant for travel but I think I'll use it for work too because I'm so happy with it." —Angela A.

And it only weighs about 13 pounds — heavier-duty carpet cleaners usually weigh around 20 — so you won't feel completely exhausted by the time you're done with your living room.
Promising review: "Extremely satisfied with the cleaner. Lightweight and small profile. I am shocked at how powerful it is. I vacuumed twice before starting and still got a huge amount of pet hair, dirt, etc out. If you have pets, keep a bag with you as it will spit out hairballs every so often, but the carpet looks great. Refilling the water and soluting is very easy, and dumping the tank is a breeze. Make sure you keep the tank in position, as water will spill out the top. Had to refill and dump one to two times per room, but for storage is great. We have a cat, dog, and two kids. I had no idea how bad the floors were. Just be aware that once you start, you will want to clean every carpet in your home!" —Beth Price

I was SO pleased to see Thinx doing a diffusion line with Target. The price of the original Thinx kept me from purchasing a pair for a long time. It's a risk to spend thirty-something bucks on something that might not work for you! I ended up getting my first pair of Thinx for $17 on sale — and that's the exact sweet spot that they've achieved at full price with this diffusion line. So much more accessible, especially if you're trying to stock up on multiple pairs. I feel no real difference between these and my regular Thinx. They're lightweight and not at all bulky, I've had no leakages (I wear them on my lighter days), they wick moisture relatively well, and wash up like a dream. I have two pairs and have zero complaints. Combined with my one other pair of original Thinx and my Flex Cup, I now have a zero-waste period routine that actually makes my entire period experience better than when I was using pads and tampons, which makes me very very happy.
Between each wear, just toss your Thinx in the wash on cold (skip the bleach and softener) then line dry!

Promising review: "Kept seeing this in lots of make up tutorials and reviews but could never seem to find in store. I was very happy to find on here and instantly ordered! I love it! The smell is amazing. It’s lightweight and doesn’t look caked on even after adding my normal powder foundation over it for better match in color." —Paola Erives

Promising review: "Best streamer I've ever tried. I sell clothing online and this has been a life-saver. Minimal spitting and the stream output is unmatched.

Promising review: "I cannot say enough how amazing these are. Definitely go a size down from what you think you need. I pull these on while standing up straight and then do a little dance to get them in exactly the right spot. If you are a thick thighed friend like me then these will legit change your life. I mean, you can dance all night in these and they stay comfortable. A word of warning: DO NOT PUT IN THE WASHER! this will absolutely ruin them faster than you can say chub rub. These are lightweight, breathable, so cute, and so functional. I need 18 more pairs!" —D. Hyatt

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these sandals. I got them for my birthday last year, hoping for a 2020 summer filled with more long, hot walks around the city with my friends. Did that happen? NO. But I did have many long, hot walks around the park with a mask on. These sandals required ZERO break-in time and were ready for long-term wear right out of the box. For a hiking sandal, I think they still look sleek enough to pair with a casual sundress. Plus, they're lightweight and keep my feet cool while still managing to put an actually supportive sole between my feet and the sidewalk.

Promising review: "This lightweight top is perfect for a sweaty workout. Breathes really well. I normally wear a large but upped the size because I have a bigger bust area and it fit as expected! Nice stretch to the material, and is form-fitting but not too tight! It's really nice that it has a built-in bra 'shelf' along with padding. Also, the material makes it almost just look like a casual tank. I pair it with my high-waisted jeans and a cardigan and I'm ready to go. Love the neutral and muted colors they offer and definitely want one in almost every color." —Kara Barry

Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review for more deets and some very satisfying hair-removal photos!
Promising review: "Being a multi-pet owner I was ecstatic on using this product. I have white carpet that meets Koa wood flooring and also a kitchen that has an unevenly grouted tile floor with oak strip inlays. This lightweight broom looks flimsy, but gathers dog hair, cat hair, parrot food and seed debris into piles that can be easily picked up. More than one swipe is sometimes needed on my dense carpeting, but it does the job! And, it is super inexpensive. It easily rinses off under the kitchen faucet if any mess is wet. I am impressed!" —Teresa

Rumpl was inspired by warm and snuggly sleeping bags, and how much better the material retains heat compared to traditional bedding. The idea of a "sleeping bag blanket" was born, and Rumpl with it.

It is a durable high-quality inflatable pool and it will stay in place when your family is playing in the water. There’s enough room for a family of four to cool off." —Chevy Chase Book Club

I love them so much I just bought three more! Highly recommend! The only downside is that the ear string pieces to hurt your ears after a while! Still love them though!" —Kylie Tracy

Promising review: "I recently threw out all my past sports bras and invested in buying these Warner's Cloud 9 bras for everyday wear and going out whenever I need a T-shirt bra. They are really soft as described on the tag and very lightweight!!! They are not tight fitting as my previous bra bands were under the bust area nor loose or too tight bra straps. I really hate tight uncomfortable bras and underwire for everyday. So far I have bought three bras total one white and two grey. I plan to buy more colors soon for my new collection of undergarments.❤️" —Jímena
