1. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away.
I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer.

2. A non-aerosol dry shampoo powder packed in a travel-friendly compact to prolong wash day and revive greasy locks so you can basically roll right out of bed and into the office and STILL have coworkers complimenting your fabulous hair.
Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used almost every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" —Melanie Havert
Get it from Amazon for $18.
3. An illuminating nail concealer that'll make it look like you just walked out of the salon when we both know this DIY mani took a whole lot less effort, time, and money. Coat nails with this semi-sheer, buildable color to easily mask any imperfections, yellowing, and uneven discoloration.
Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looked better than natural without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "I don't write reviews often, but this toothbrush is so amazing that I just had to. My teeth have never felt so smooth after brushing my teeth. Excellent at removing plaque and tartar and keeping it off throughout the day. If you're on the fence about purchasing, consider this the green light to go for it. You won't be disappointed." —Cari C.

5. A gluten- and cruelty-free lengthening mascara for swipe-on lashes that rival the va-va-voom of your falsies in a fraction of the time. If you don't believe me, maybe 246,000+ 5-star ratings are convincing enough evidence for ya.
Promising review: "Holy grail mascara! I've used this mascara for about three years now, and it still tops any other mascara I've tried. It will transfer if you apply it to your lower lashes, so I use a different mascara for my bottom lashes, which I don't mind at all. I always get asked if I'm wearing falsies! It's a mascara that stays wet longer, so I always apply one coat, let it get tacky, then apply a second coat for best results." —Joseph Gonzalez
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
6. A suede and nubuck cleaning brush because that rainy run-in with your suede shoes has left them looking more stained than stylish. This brush will diminish the look of water stains with no additional cleaners required, so you and your favorite shoes can enjoy another (hopefully drier) outing together!
Shacke is a small manufacturer based in Baldwin Park, California creating useful travel products like packing cubes and luggage tags.
You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without it! It just takes some elbow grease.
Promising review: "I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying gray-colored shoes once I got them dirty. Luckily, I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes, you might as well keep them nice and clean!" —Celeste
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
7. An air-dry leave-in cream so you can get touchable, crunch-free curls, and enjoy less frizz without getting the blow dryer or other heat styling tools involved.
This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!!
Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product once so far, and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel-drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
8. A volcanic stone face roller to instantly soak up excess face oil, even if you have makeup on! Unlike blotting papers, this roller is able to be washed and reused. Mattifying and money-saving? Sign me up.
Promising review: "I am so extremely oily. I have been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school and am still dealing with my oily skin in my mid-thirties. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life-changing for me!" —Wow
Get it from Amazon for $10.87.

ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers.
Promising reviews: "The best product I’ve tried for cat hair removal. I use it on my clothes, bed sheets, car seats, and car floor, you name it, and I’m using it. To clean it, you open it and swipe your finger through, and voila — all done." —Stephania Quintero
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I actually really like this jumpsuit. It’s very comfortable. The material is thin enough to be a breathable fabric but thick enough to not be see-through. I would and will buy another one." —Danielle Delgado
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 32 styles).
13. A genius bag cleaner ball so when you reach into your purse or backpack you aren't greeted with gross piles of mystery dirt, crumbs, and sand. And it's reusable! Just take out the inner ball, give it a rinse, and it's good to toss back in your bag.

Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed that for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

Promising review: "Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank, but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat, and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." —MsChris

Promising reviews: "Absolutely amazing. I have bought these, like, five times now over the years and never once regretted it for a moment." —Hannah D.
"These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn’t see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what’s there not to like?" —Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $6.85+ (available in five shades and combo packs).
21. High-waisted belted palazzo pants that come in so many fun colors and prints you'll struggle to pick just one...so don't! You'll be tricking people into thinking you tried so hard on your outfit when really you just swapped out your jeans and leggings for a bit of wide-legged volume.

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 24 colors/styles).

Promising review: "I got these boots right before leaving on a three-week vacation to Scotland and London. I didn't want to bring big heavy boots in my bag, so I got them. They are pretty lightweight and very comfortable. I put an insole in to help with the cobblestone streets, but I was able to wear them comfortably during long days of walking. They definitely have a chemical smell when you first open them up, but it has worn off by now." —epop86
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 15 colors).
25. A pair of high-waisted faux leather leggings so you can have all the comfort of your casual go-to in a style that's chic enough to take out on date night.
Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm, so I probably would not wear them in warmer weather, but they are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese
Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X Regular and S–4X Tall).

Promising review: "A snap for makeup fixes, mistakes, and running mascara. Easy to use; removes any makeup in very selective areas; doesn't build up, get slick, or shine. Just does exactly what it was intended for without issues." —Placeholder

Be sure to pick up two AA batteries! They're not included.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS. I have seen this product all over TikTok and have been thinking of getting it for a while. It is the best thing ever. It removes all the little fuzz balls on my leggings or sheets. It helps me relax, honestly. I recommend." —Kayla foulk

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time getting my hair into a bun. I made a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.35.

Promising review: "I would use hairspray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great, and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder, nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby
