Promising review: "OMG does this stuff have a strong smell to it. It not only repels mosquitoes but I'm sure it could work on mothers-in-law, exes, lawyers, cops, etc. I mean my wife was sent away in tears so imagine what it must do to the bugs. This stuff is awesome!" —Mike E plus 3

Promising review: "The photos speak for themselves. When we bought our home there was no water softener and years of iron buildup. We tried so many things on our shower. Nothing worked. We were convinced we’d be stuck until we renovated the bathroom. But this worked wonders. I still can’t believe it. We had to let it sit for about an hour, then it dissolved and wiped right off. Definitely use in a ventilated area if possible." —M. Gilardi

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 have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

Promising review: "Alright, so I hate shaving. EFFING hate it and am always looking for alternatives. Saw some chick post about this cheap shaving powder and figured I’d give it a shot. YOU GUYS. It smells like every rotten egg in the universe has joined together to revolt against the world, but it works like magic. No razor burn, no irritation, NO INGROWNS. No bumps — period! You can use it EVERYWHERE 😺😺😺😺 if you catch my drift. I made a thin paste and slathered that s**t on for 10 minutes. Make sure you take it off with a damp washcloth. Before some Karen comes at me yelling for promoting a product that isn’t made of only organic dirt and essential oil — adults can read labels and make decisions for themselves :)." —LizzieChambers

Promising review: "This table has been in my family for 60+ years, the watermarks were not horrible but they always bugged me. This product works!!! Needs elbow grease but well worth it!!! I really don't know how it works but it does." —Sandra Mercer

Promising review: "My hair was processed and damaged, my husband would say that it feels like a straw bale. This little ampule changed my life. After one use, my hair was soft as silk, shiny, and manageable. It was completely unreal how this product transformed my hair and I knew I had to find more. I bought two boxes on Amazon and will continue to use this religiously. For something so inexpensive, it is a game-changer. I now have my friends on the Rescue train and they are just as impressed." —melissa michael

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 greener and more healthy-looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "This makes me so happy. Honestly, I had no idea how to take care of succulents and I was constantly killing them by overwatering them (RIP to all the plants in succulent heaven because of me). This is great because it gives you directions on when to water them and exactly how much to water them as well. Plus it has nutrients and whatnot! It makes me feel more comfortable giving my plants this plant food than just tap water which always has sketchy minerals in it. Will continue buying when I run out!" —dot

Promising review: "This is an awesome tool. Every woman needs one. I am a stickler about using up the last drop of everything — makeup, lotion, conditioner, toothpaste, etc. I've been known to regularly cut plastic bottles in half so I can scoop out the lingering contents clinging to the bottom and sides even after the container's been sitting up-ended for days. I've been using this tool to reach the bottom of my expensive daily makeup bottle — three weeks after the pump stopped dispensing! If you're a 'value' oriented person, you need one of these." —heycher

Promising review: "It totally works! The spray smells amazing and cuts my drying time in half. I was actually shocked by how quickly my hair dried. I have long, thick, color-treated, and naturally wavy hair. It usually takes me 20 minutes to blow-dry with a flat and large round brush and my Drybar blow dryer. Using this primer I was done in 10 minutes flat. For the price, I’d highly recommend giving it a try. Totally worth it!" —EllieDox

The 24-piece set includes 16 outlet sealers, 6 switch plates, and 2 decorative covers.
Promising review: "Socket sealer. Say it with me. Socket sealer. Alliteration can be so much fun. Okay, now with that out of our system, down to brass tacks. I love these. They're cheap and easy to install. They block the draft that is sure to come out of an electrical outlet or a light switch. I've used these in apartments and in houses. They work both ways. Just unscrew the plate, slap one of these bad boys in, and screw the plate back in. Just be sure to not touch metal to metal or skin to metal. It's a good idea to flip the breaker to deactivate the outlets you're installing these on. Otherwise, you'll give yourself a nice jolt. Or three. You know how everyone tells you not to stick a fork into an outlet? The same principle applies here except your finger is the fork and you can't taste purple for a while. So do yourself the favor of flipping the breaker before installing these. Don't make the same mistake as I did. Once. Or maybe three times. I can't remember too good now." —Frequency Jones

Promising review: "I figured this would just be a cheaper quality dress since I only paid $4.99 for it, but it is surprisingly great quality and fits great! The color and style are exactly as pictured. The only negative is it's a little loose in the lower back area but that's probably just my body type! I have a smaller waist and bigger hips. I normally wear a medium and got a small size. I love it! Not too short, I am 5-foot-9. —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This product is a MUST for anyone who struggles with puffy/dark under eyes! I have horrible under-eye bags thanks to poor genetics and wearing eyeglasses my entire life. At some point, I'm going to have plastic surgery but I will be using these eye masks every day until I can afford the time and money for the surgery. I've enclosed an ugly (but very honest) picture of the before and after results from using this product this morning. I woke up and immediately applied the eye mask. I then wore it for about 25 minutes under my eyeglasses while I went about my household chores until the pads completely dried. When I removed the mask, my under-eye area was looking way less puffy and much brighter than when I woke up. I love this product so much that I'm ordering five more packages today so I have a supply handy." —Mrs L

Promising review: "With enough strips, you could glue a person to the wall (don’t try this at home). Good stuff. It helps eliminate holes in the walls. You better hang your pictures straight because you can’t reposition easily. The very lightweight pictures were hung with small pieces of the Command strips. I tried to pull one-off and the wood paneling was trying to come with it. That picture is definitely there to stay." —Bonni

Promising review: "These work great!! Just as intended. I’m not really sure what some people were complaining about. I have small hands and most times I just can’t get a good enough grip on a jar or bottle as I don’t have enough 'hand leverage' over the container. Sometimes I will hold one on the bottom of the jar and use one to twist off the lid for better control if it’s a tougher jar to open. They work great — every time and you don’t have to be Hercules to open a jar." —Kristen B.

Promising review: "My brother told me about these. I was skeptical. Not anymore! I figured they would melt, leak, or something. Nope! High heat for seven hours and the bag still holds its juices — no leaks. I've used them a couple of times already and never a problem. Saves lots of cleaning time." —Bookworm555

Promising review: "I had originally given the scrapers a mediocre three-star review. After using them a few times I have decided to change my review from 3 stars all the way up to 5 stars. After trying a few other things to clean my cast-iron Lodge pan I have found that if I hold these scrapers with a sponge, it gives me a much better grip and stops the plastic edge from pushing into my fingers. I guess it would be hard to make the scrapers with a rougher surface, which while maybe easier to hold would still do nothing for the amount of force against your fingers required to push these scrapers across a dirty cast-iron pan. Other than designing these much larger with a handle to hold them firmly, they are difficult to hold and scrape a pan with firmly attached food particles. So, grab a sponge, place this handy little tool inside of a folded sponge with the edge sticking out and it becomes a very simple and effective way to scrape a cast-iron pan without damaging the seasoning." —Honestly...

Promising review: "Since I started using these clips, I haven't had to pull up my straps a single time! I used to have to pull them back up a dozen times a day. No more. Now I can put on my bra and then just forget that it is there. I don't notice any change in the fit of my bra. I wear a large cup size and the last thing I wanted was to add to that. However, with the straps fully extended on my bra, I find the fit to be essentially the same as before. The only difference is that the straps stay in place. If you've ever struggled to keep your straps up, you owe it to yourself to try this product." —K. Howe

Promising review: "I was skeptical of these, but now I'm pretty sure they're what Mulan's outfit was made of when she wiped her makeup off on her sleeve in the movie. Even totally dry they're pretty impressive about taking all of my makeup (including waterproof eyeliner and mascara) in a couple swipes. I like to use a little micellar water to make my skin feel a little cleaner. It's nice not to burn through so many cotton pads." —RachelM

Promising review: "If you have ever had to repair or replace a garbage disposal, then I am sure you have been lectured on basically only allowing crumbs to fall into the disposal. This dish squeegee makes prepping dishes for a dishwasher or sink washing a breeze. I hold the dish over the trash can and after a few swipes, the dish is ready for washing. In comparison to using a paper towel, it saves you money, helps protect the environment, and keeps your fingers free from gunk." —She Who Reads

Promising review: "When I was a kid, my mother had an intricate one of these made from wood, so I decided I needed one in order to be a proper adult. I wanted a plastic one since it is living in a drawer where all the kitchen tools go and let's just say that things get washed and then thrown back in without being properly dried, so plastic seemed like the best bet." —Jenn

I only put it on the driver side of my car, as the passenger side already has the pre-engraved 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.' It stays on well after car washes as well. I love this sticker!!" —Mel Point

Promising review: "I love this scent and it is gentle — so no breakouts for me. I use some when I get out the shower for an extra clean, fresh smell that lasts throughout the day. I place it on my arms and neck. BTW, it does not taste very good at all so after applying, please your wash hands before eating a sandwich." —ItsTrixie2You

Promising review: "Holds up well, easy to apply, long-lasting, and easy to remove when done. I used this in a classroom on the front whiteboard. Easily applied early in the school year — bold/solid black. Stayed up with no problem. Easily removed at the end of the school year. I would buy again, the quality was good and the words are NOT individual letters that you have to apply one at a time. The whole phrase is on clear cellophane that you apply all at once and then remove the cellophane. So easy!" —M. Brooks
