    I'm Not Telling You To Buy These 25 Products, But Reviewers Are

    Consider yourself influenced.

    1. A lightweight and breathable washed-linen sheet set to amp up your sleep space. There's just something about a fresh sheet set that really brings things together.

    Promising review: "These sheets are the softest lightest sheets I’ve ever slept under. I’ve never had any brand of linen sheets before. These sheets were delivered yesterday. I threw them in the washer, dryer, and then made up the bed. They don’t look like they would be as soft and comfortable as they are, but they are so amazing I ordered another set today! So earthy and natural. I’ve shopped around and these are very reasonable. Buy them, you will not regret it!" —Catherine S.

    Get it from Amazon for $132.99+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 19 colors). 

    2. A set of motion-activated LED light strips so you'll have just enough light for those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips without waking everyone up by turning on the overhead lights. They'll also look stunning under your kitchen cabinets or along the stairs. 

    These lights charge up with a standard outlet or four AA batteries, so you have the best of both worlds.

    Promising review: "This is a fun motion light for under the bathroom cabinet. It lights up the floor area when you walk in for those night time trips. It's a great value. I love this light. Go buy one!!!" —Gloria D.

    Get six meters from Amazon for $23.99 (available in four lengths and in cool or warm white).

    3. A pair of Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens for that Hollywood smile you've always dreamed of. All you do is brush the product onto your teeth, wait two minutes, and watch the magic happen! Each pen lasts up to 20 uses and is said to lighten your teeth by up to eight shades.

    Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a way to brighten my smile for years now, and nothing has worked as well as these pens! I recommend them to everyone and use them as often as possible. I see a REAL difference! If you’re wondering if you should buy or not — JUST DO IT! You will not regret!" —Amazon Customer

    4. A phone stand that will let you go hands-free when you need to the most and is compatible with most tablets and smartphones. Want to study a makeup tutorial while applying your makeup? Follow an online recipe while cooking?  Watch a movie while taking a bath? This stand lets you do it all, baby!

    Promising review: "I use this phone stand so I can FaceTime my friends while painting, but it’s also super nice to take videos of myself. I really wanted something like this so I don’t struggle with finding a place to put my phone without it constantly falling down while I’m on FaceTime. I 10/10 recommend you guys to buy it! :-)" —Key

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors).

    5. A Peace Out Retinol Face Stick for keeping your skin hydrated and oh so soft. This magical "wrinkle eraser" uses a water-free formula full of antioxidants and a special mix of papaya and pumpkin enzymes, meaning it's perfect for sensitive skin. Buy this and you'll have glowing, smooth skin in no time.

    Promising review: "BUY THIS!! This is as good if not better than the eye stick. It has really made a difference on my wrinkles and dry skin. It stays on through the night, is easy to apply, and I can see a reduction in my forehead wrinkles already.!" —Kasey E.

    Get it from Peace Out for $34

    6. A tattoo aftercare salve to make your tattoos really *pop.* It soothes and hydrates your skin while making colored and monochrome tattoos look super fresh and vibrant — whether they're just healing or are years old.

    BuzzFeed's Mallory Mower wrote of the salve: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

    Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

    Promising review: "I’ve been using Mad Rabbit for over a year and it has really refreshed my old tattoos! It’s amazing, it leaves my skin super soft and smelling good! You should definitely buy this!" —Kasey Kerner

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two scents). 

    7. A little pack of spin hair pins to keep your sleek ponytails and purposely messy updos looking so chic all day long. If your arms ache from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day, these are made for you.

    One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct.

    Promising review: "I've struggled my entire life to do anything with my hair due to it being so fine and thin. These are a total game changer. I can make a bun without elastics now, or use a bun maker. I'm impressed. They come in a variety of colors. I've been handing them out to friends left and right. One gal at work used to be a model and knew all about them, but they are a new concept to me and I'm thrilled to have found them! Just buy them. You won't regret your decision." —billietea

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.89.

    8. A rubber ducky bath spout cover to protect your little ones from the hard faucet if they're rather squirmy during bath time. It also looks adorable, so even if you don't have kiddos, I say buy it anyway.

    Promising review: "I bought this for my baby because he is now using the big tub. He is curious about everything and I didn’t want any incidents when it came to the faucet. Since I purchased this there hasn’t been an issue. This was worth it! Plus, it's very easy to put on! Buy it." —Briana Kinard

    Get it from Amazon for $10.49.

    9. An interactive cat toy to keep your feline active and entertained for less than four bucks. Plus, your cat is gonna look so cute doing its lil' dance.

    Promising review: "WOWZA! My kittens love toys obviously but holy cow they LOVE this toy! They could play with it for hours on end without tiring and I cannot explain why. I have to run and hide it from them in a high up, closed box whenever I'm done playing because they will HUNT it down anywhere in the house to play with it even when I'm asleep. I cannot recommend this toy enough. They have a giant box of cat toys and they like them and will play with them for a short while, but get bored easily. THIS TOY IS AMAZING AND REVOLUTIONARY. BUY THIS IMMEDIATELY TO WATCH YOUR CATS DANCE AROUND LIKE WILD!" —Isabella D.

    Get it from Amazon for $3.53.

    10. wireless library light so you can show off your favorite books or pieces of artwork. It has both warm and cool light settings that can match your vibe, and it's giving super expensive, but it actually costs less than $30. Sensational.

    This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this light! It's lightweight and easy to install. I love that it comes with a paper template so you know where to make the pilot holes. The remote control works well. I love that I’m able to change the warmth and brightness. I will be buying more for my home. If you’re looking for an inexpensive art light that works well, look no further!" —Lydia Meade

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

    11. A travel phone mount so you can pass the time in the skies with your favorite TV show. You simply attach it your upright tray table and you're good to go. My favorite thing to do? Count down the time left on the airplane with half hour episodes of Modern Family. The struggle not to laugh out loud is real.

    Promising review: "Okay, after a flight last month, I was convinced I needed a phone mount and ran into this. So I bought it. The crazy part was that I haven’t been on another flight yet and yet, I use this gadget every single day. So far, I found this to be durable and can contort to your needs. The different combinations of positions literally allows you to mount and position your device to nearly any position you need it to. I use the iPhone 11 as my device. I mount this on my standup desk at work, at my nightstand to watch movies while in bed, on my treadmill so I could watch something while walking, on a nearby counter as a 'tripod' for my phone and of course, as a standalone stand when I’m sitting at a flat table. This is a MUST-own gadget. As long as it fits your device, get it. Don’t even think about it." —Justin E.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97.

    12. A designer-looking top-handle purse that even comes with its *own* chic scarf. Oh, you've forgotten to accessorize this morning? Tie the scarf in your hair or wear it around your neck. Problem solved. 

    Promising review: "STOP READING REVIEWS, AND BUY THIS BAG!! Yep, Imma need this in every color. I fell in love when I saw this online and fell even more in love after it came. It’s bigger than I expected, but I love that because I stuff my bags LOL. It complements a lot of outfits because of its color pattern. Easily my favorite bag!!!" —Shaniece Gordon

    Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

    13. A set of clear acrylic shelf dividers because we all know that keeping a tidy closet is one of the hardest tasks in the world. These bad boys will help you keep your shirts separate from your pants, and will keep your accessories in neat and organized lines. 

    Promising review: "Easy to install, works perfectly, absolutely love it!!! Get it if you need to better organize spaces." —Joyce

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $21.49.

    14. A bottle of Orly's Bonder base coat to keep your DIY manicure looking sharp for ages. After all, you'll be spending upwards of an hour perfecting your polish so you want to make it last. No chips in sight!

    Promising review: "JUST BUY IT. This stuff is amazing. Prior to using this, my nails would last two, AT MOST three days without chipping. Now that I use this as a base coat, my manicures last at least a week with no major chipping. The very edge or tip might become worn down a little, but it's definitely not noticeable. I could probably keep them looking decent for two weeks if I added another coat of topcoat and was a little more careful with them. I was skeptical about buying this at first because I wasn't sure that a base coat would make much of a difference in the longevity of my manicure. I thought the secret to lasting nails mostly depended on the topcoat used, but I was wrong. Doing my nails is a lot more fun now that I don't have to worry about chipping after two days!" —Elizabeth

    Get it from Amazon for $8.59.

    15. A fan favorite oil-absorbing facial roller so you can wave goodbye to that summer sheen without frantically dabbing your face with blotting paper that, let's face it, doesn't work. Oil, be gone!

    Promising review: "Buy it, that is all I need to say. Buy it now!!!! Wow. That little moveable head soaks up all of your facial oil buildup throughout the day. It's small enough to keep in your purse and discreet enough to use it at any time." —mammag3

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles).

    16. puff-sleeve maxi dress that is gonna see you through every single summer occasion. Brunch! Dinner parties! Weddings! Wine tastings! If you're going to be there, so is this dress.

    Promising review: "Buy it right now!! Wow. Okay I was hesitant, but after reviews, I decided to get it. I'm normally an XL, but everyone said to size down, so I did. The large is a perfect fit!! I'm absolutely in love with this dress. I feel like a princess in it. Now I seriously want one in every color!" —Sara

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 23 colors).

    17. A KitchenAid mini stand mixer for practicing your cakes and pastries ahead of your application for The Great American Baking Show. It can make up to five dozen cookies at once, so I hope you're hungry.

    This 3.5-quart mini mixer includes a wire whisk, flat beater, and dough hook. It is dishwasher safe and sports a powerful 10-speed slide control. 

    Promising review: "I’m in love! I’ve been waiting to buy a mixer for so long and I finally pulled the trigger. I was hesitant to purchase the mini thinking it was too small — boy was I wrong! This powerful little machine is already the bell of the ball in my kitchen. Don’t let the word 'mini' scare you off, this has no problem making double batches of bread. If you’ve been thinking about buying one, don’t hesitate; you won’t regret adding this beauty to your kitchen arsenal." —Dani

    Get it from Amazon for $379.99+ (available in 10 colors; available alone or with two attachments).

    18. A Baroque mirror that's giving me regal Bridgerton vibes... but it's from Amazon and will cost you way less than you would expect. Hang this pretty little thing on the wall and your home will be complete.

    Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).

    19. de-shedding glove to keep your pet's fur looking ultra smooth and shiny. It has over 3,000 impressed reviewers, and there's just something about de-shedding your pet that is ~so~ satisfying.

    Promising review: "The cats are in heaven!!! We have four cats and bought this to try to cut down on shedding and hairballs. After having it for just a week, we never want to be without it. Even our antisocial cat comes up and begs for a pet when the glove comes out. The only thing that is not perfect on this glove is that I have smaller hands, and the glove is a little big, so my pinky doesn't stay where it should. But hey, if that's the only downside, we aren't going to complain. Long story short, if you love your pets, you will buy this glove as soon as possible." —Doad64

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors). 

    20. ToiletShroom plunger which is a flexible unclogging tool that you honestly never knew you needed but won't be able to live without. It's gonna get down deep into your pipes, getting to those frustrating clogs *and* squeegeeing everything clean so you don't have any future problems or have to spend some serious dollar on a plumber.

    BTW, this includes a caddy!

    Promising review: "I wouldn’t be without this great little tool — especially since I only have one bathroom! There’s a knack to using it, and it takes a little practice, but after years of frustration with the old plumber’s helper, they’ve gone and built a better mousetrap! I will warn you that you need to use eye protection, because sometimes there’s backsplash. You push it in and then sort of give it a twist before retracting it, and it occasionally requires a few tries before it’s successful. It’s not quite as simple as the video makes it appear, but after you get accustomed to the difference, it just works! I’ve thrown away my old plunger; it was only collecting dust. Buy one!" —MiscElaineous

    Get it from Amazon for $14.97.

    21. A jar of Zach & Zoe's lavender honey to add a lovely touch of sweetness to your world. This unfiltered, raw honey has hundreds of glowing reviews from customers who just can't get enough of the stuff. My favorite way to enjoy it? Spooned into green tea. Delish.

    Zach & Zoë is a family-owned business based in Hunterdon County, New Jersey that cares for the bees AND produces the honey themselves.

    Promising review: "Cannot get enough. By the spoonful. In my pukka tea. On toast. Anywhere at all, really. Don't hesitate and buy two instead of one. :)" —John P.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six flavors).

    22. A dual-action facial moisturizer that will become your everyday go-to, even if it's one of those days when you just don't want to commit to your skincare routine.

    The Clean & Clear moisturizer bottle with product swatches next to it

    23. A TikTok-famous mascara because it's beloved for a reason. If you want lashes that are as black as night and lusciously long and lifted, this one's for you. Lash extensions who?

    24. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors to remove any peach fuzz and give you *the* smoothest skin of your life. Your makeup will go on smoother, and it can help improve your skin's texture and appearance.

    25. And a bottle of Lee Beauty's callus remover to get those soles ready for a season of striding around in sandals. Does it look kinda gross when you're using it? Yes. But does it work? Absolutely. 

    Promising review: "This product is the absolute secret to getting a salon level (or better) pedicure at home. No amount of soaking, scrubbing, or scraping can replicate it. You need this, just buy it. For me this has cleared up both mild roughness and painful thick cracked heels. I have used it many times with great results, feet that are clean, soft, and sandal-ready." —kmt22
