I have very oily skin and recently made the switch from a pricier setting powder to this. It makes a huge difference! And the included puff is cloud-like.
Promising review: "A game-changer. When I put this on in the morning I apply it over all my face makeup, and it keeps my skin feeling fresh, smooth, and comfortable all day. It even keeps my bangs from looking greasy! If I forget it in the morning, by mid-afternoon I have a shiny, oily face. But I can still pat it on, using it as I would blotting papers, and this powder immediately mattifies and smoothes my skin. I prefer this over blotting papers. I haven't noticed any sort of residue. It's got a lovely, light lime sort of scent. This has become one of my most treasured cosmetic products" —Maggie R

I use Magic Erasers for all of the above, especially during rushed mornings when all of a sudden a pair of sneakers I planned to wear looks especially dingy. I can't rave about them enough!
Promising review: "Helped to remove the dirt on my white Vans from hiking. I tried using baking soda before but it didn't do anything to the mud. Thanks to Magic Eraser the stains are almost gone!" —Daisy

Promising review: "These things saved my sanity. I have long curly hair. Even when I brush it BEFORE i shower I still have a ton of loose hairs that do not fall out until I shampoo and condition. I have tried a few options that catch it before it hits the drain but they only do so much. This however catches it ALL. I pull it up once a week, try not to gag, and clean it up and put it back. 10/10 telling all my girl friends about this thing." —JuliaSto

Promising review: "EASIST JAR OPENER EVER, I’ve had carpal tunnel surgery in both wrists and can’t squeeze anything tightly enough to get a tight cap off. It is so frustrating! I think I’ve tried every jar opener on Amazon that you put on the top of the can and you twisted off, this is just so easy. It opens everything from a 2 L bottle of soda to a large jar, and it’s the only thing I’ve needed I haven’t had to try several things to finally get a jar open just this one jar opener works on everything I’m so glad I found it" —Gadget Gal

Every time I've thought, "These scissors are legit" in my life I've inspected them to discover that they're Fiskars. And I've thought that quite often in my life. Seriously, other scissors are trash.
Promising review: "I have a old old pair Fiskers hard plastic orange color. These are grey. Way better fit. I have huge hands and my thumb and fingers don't get caught in the holes. Soft material and I can really tell. Way better set than my old ones. Couldn't get my fingers all the way in the old ones but they still cut good after 20 years?" —steve ypsi mi

Promising review: "OH MY GOODNESS!! I absolutely LOVE these shampoo brushes for detangling (I also use them for scratching my scalp if I have an itch while detangling.) I have type 4 tightly coiled, kinky hair and these work PERFECTLY for detangling my hair type without ripping out my hair. Thanks to YouTuber Chazzzisawesome!" —💜Kiki.L.G💜

Promising review: "LADIES STOP RIGHT HERE AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BRUSH. I have color treated, fine, thinning hair. It tangles. A LOT. No matter what conditioner I use, or what leave in. I had been using the original Wet Brush, but home girl's hair decided it was gonna grow like a weed this year. I can't get my little T-rex arms through it good with the other brush so I read up and saw that longer hair benefits from the paddle shape. Mind you, the bristles are EXACTLY THE SAME. Just a different brush head. HOLY UPSIDE DOWN JESUS CAKES BATMAN. Went through my hair like a hot knife through butter. Like your mama through some Oreos. It was AMAZING. Buy this S.O.B. if you have hair like mine, OK? Don't even think about it. Long fine tangle-prone hair? BUY IT. P.S. It works just amazing on dry hair but you know, you probably gathered that. Buy this. TREAT YO' SELF." —Voxemluth

Promising review: "I've had my old Silpat silicone baking mat for about a decade, and wasn't sure about going off-brand, but these mats are just as good as the fancy imported ones. If you're still baking cookies or breads without one of these, I can promise these will change your life. They're absolutely non-stick, and the way they distribute heat in the oven ensures a more even bake. Never going back." —//

Promising review: "I am not one to leave reviews but this stuff deserves recognition! In my 32 years of life I have never had something that is supposed to control oil actually do its job. From the moment this stuff touched my face, I felt a difference! My face is extremely oily that by the time I walk out the house, my makeup is sitting on top of my face looking caked. This is the first time EVER, I had a primer leave my face matte with makeup on. Although I love my look with makeup, I hate what the oil does so I’m usually limiting my application to eyebrows and under eye. Although this is day one of use, my makeup has been on my face for almost four hours and I have yet to pull out my MAC blot powder or oil control sheet to touch things up. I am IMPRESSED and that is a major compliment considering I’ve literally tried everything on the market and this $5 product surpasses them ALL!!!" —Rose

Promising review: "Loooooove this. I've used a lot of glitter primers and usually they work for a little while an hour, maybe two and never up against sweat. I used this on Halloween and am now using it to swatch any of my glitters for nails or makeup. And this holds AMAZINGLY. I did dishes and made lunch while having the pictured snowflake on to swatch glitter colors and it did not budge, I had to use micellar water and a makeup wipe just to get it off a little. So definitely recommend!" —Seriously Lacqueing

Promising review: "I'm fat, I chafe, it's gross and hurts like hell. This product solves that problem. I started walking 10 miles a day, normally by the 5th mile I'm ready to call someone to pick me up. Not because i'm exhausted, tired, muscles hurt. Because my fat thighs are rubbing together trying to make fire like I'm trying out for Survivorman. As long as I remember to put this on before my walk (applied like deodorant) I am completely chafe-free. This product is a lifesaver." —Kevin C. Hayes

Promising review: "I cannot even believe this stuff. I just purchased a house built in 1900 with gorgeous original woodwork that not had attention in quite some time. I was a little skeptical trying something like this, so I tried it out on some woodwork that is behind a dresser. Next thing I know, I'm putting this on any piece of wood I can find. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. Do not hesitate to purchase this, I will always keep some on hand from here on out." —Kristen

I used to work for ThisOldHouse.com, where staffers know all about household solutions and this was always a top recommendation. It works on stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper alloys, aluminum, ceramic, porcelain, glass, and corian. So *most* household surfaces!
Promising review: "After I cleaned the stove, the next beast was the bathtub, which I tackled with the powder. This tub didn't have just a light layer of grime — it had awful stains from sitting water. And sir, a bathtub is a place to *clean* yourself, so it should NOT be slime central!" —Kayla Suazo

These come with an adhesive back so you can simply peel them off the sheet and stick them on your cabinets. I recently bought them for my slamming kitchen cabinets and they work without drawing attention! I also put them at the top and bottom of my sliding closet doors. I'd like to think my neighbors are very appreciative of my considerate nature!

This beaut splits, pits, and slices avocados, and it's top-rack dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "Avocado? Yes, please! This tool is awesome. Easy to cut open the fruit. Pit remover works well, just push onto the pit and give it a twist, and the pit pops right out. The best part is the slicer. Makes beautiful slices for a great presentation. The tool can then be used to scrape any remaining fruit out of the skin. Really happy I bought this tool!" —NPR MAN

Promising review: "These made a date from hell turn into a nightmare. After going to chocolate and beer tasting event for valentines day, I thought I'd be creative and add my own chocolate to the mix. She was so offended she took the liberty to show them to everyone in the bar so they'd know what a creep I was. Most people laughed and it didn't dawn on anybody that we were at a CHOCOLATE TASTING EVENT and I was being creative in gifting chocolate. She didn't even try them. She said she wouldn't put them in her mouth. I reiterated they weren't my bum and she said well who's is it? I don't know. So that made it even worse because I gave her random bum chocolate!? People. Stay off those dating sites folks... I ate the chocolate and they were amazing. I don't care who's bum they are cast from, they have delicious lines and flavorful contours." —Timothy D. Williams

Promising review: "This thing really works! I have a pair of shoes I really like, but they're a little big. I think I bought it at night after I had been walking for the whole day. So it feels big now. After I put this liner on, it is a perfect fit. I would say it decreased the shoe size by half of a half size, like from a size 7.5 to a size between 7 and 7.5. Works very well." —Someone

They're washable and reusable!
Promising review: "These are just the ticket. On my left foot, I developed a stone bruise. It made walking very uncomfortable. I would be so careful to baby that foot and the swelling would start to go down. Then, I'd do something foolish like put too much pressure on that foot, and then, I'm back to square one as the sole would swell up again. These gel pads were perfect to protect the injury until it fully healed. I had no problems with them shifting in my shoes either." —Richard Garland

Promising review: "Purchased this to replace the plastic garbage bag that I use to put garbage dropped in the car by yours truly or my passengers. This bag is more appealing and not in the way. Its size holds enough that I get to empty once a week. Can hold even the medium size drink from Burger King." —Amazon Customer

Just do it in a well-ventilated space!!!
Promising review: "Works like magic! My oven hasn't been cleaned for what it feels like a year ( I just moved in the apartment) and this made it look like new. Make sure to keep it for 8 hours or more. One downside: it's very chemically smelly, and since I sprayed a lot of it to make sure it does the job it was a bit unpleasant." —NYer

Promising review: "Every time I (Harper) use(s) this Gulpy in public, I get multiple inquiries about it and always recommend them to come here on Amazon and buy one. This thing is amazing and so practical. The 20 oz. size fits plenty of water for a long walk or a day at the dog park. It does not leak at all when the drinking section is folded close. And it is so easy to carry; feels like a regular water bottle. There is a belt clip on it if you're into that sort of thing. The only downside is that you cannot pick the color that you will receive; we just lucked out and got blue. Overall, thank you for inventing this — it has been extremely useful!" —Kristen Lisicki
