    Good day to this combination sleep Bluetooth headphone and eye mask for $20 only.

    1. An adorably encouraging daily planner you can fill out throughout the course of each day not just to keep yourself on track for your errands and appointments, but for a *ton* of other areas in your life, from water intake to health and fitness to plain old recognizing your accomplishments at the end of the day. Bonus — it's also tear-off, so you can take any page you need on the go!

    Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

    Promising review: "These notepads helped me reframe and focus everyday working from home during the pandemic. I used to use a daily planner but working from home changed how I need to plan my work tasks and personal tasks. I found this helpful for both!" —kristenjoann

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    2. A roll of clear heavy-duty double-sided removable tape that truly did not come here to play. People use this for everything from mounting wall hangings and electronics to securing their vases and glass objects to tables to keeping their rugs in place. It's also easily removable and leaves no residue behind!

    3. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which will truly do a number on everything from dirty stove tops to grimy sinks to caked-over ovens. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so your weirdest, most stubborn stains in just about every room in your house will meet their match.

    Promising review: "THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. If you’re questioning getting this to clean harder stains or anything, this is your review to read! I was a little skeptical because I’ve tried many things to clean my shower door with the hard-water stains and nothing really ever got it completely clean...this stuff did! I wish I would have taken before pictures. It did take a couple applications and some scrubbing, but honestly I didn’t have to scrub hard, just used a wet cloth and this and my shower door is now completely clean without any hard-water stains! I’m obsessed. Now to see what else I can clean with it." —Rachel Anne Deaton

    Get it from Amazon for $8.89.

    4. A set of affordable, highly popular (these have over 157,000 five-star reviews!!) wireless Bluetooth earbuds designed to solve two of your biggest headphone problems: One is that they're *waterproof*, so you can take them in the rain or even in the shower, and the other is that they come with different earbud sizes so you can find your actual perfect fit. 

    These also come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge) and have a built-in mic so you can chat on the phone. 

    Promising review: "I can sit here and bore you with a bunch of verbiage, but I wont. Let me be clear: These earbuds are AMAZING. Seriously. They do EVERYTHING very well and they are just as described! High quality stuff! I wear them while cycling in (right now) 100+ degree humid heat in South Carolina and not only do they stay in place, but they are unaffected by sweat, etc. Amazing sound, amazing clarity. These things should easily cost $200." —Gene Reyna

    Get it from Amazon $22.98+ (available in five colors).

    5. high-ponytail running cap with UPF 50 protection so you can keep the sun and sweat off of your face *and* keep your hair from getting tangled while you work out. This particular design even comes with two openings in the back for a high *or* mid-pony.

    Vimhue is an Arizona-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in uniquely engineered running hats. 

    Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the gulf and it’s summer — really humid and really hot. I walk three to four miles outside most days and I’d been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it’s super cute!" —mlp06h

    Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 or from Vimhue's site for $29 (available in 17 colors). 

    6. A bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo that not only helps with hair loss using its unique blend of tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils, but can also help prevent dandruff, clear scalp buildup, and hydrate your hair.

    7. A multipurpose healing ointment made with coconut oil and beeswax you can use to soothe anything from eczema to cuts to diaper rashes — it's safe to use on the face, body, and diaper area, so its problem-solving power knows no limits.

    8. An internet-beloved pet urine stain–removing spray designed to instantly tackle both old and new stains *plus* the funky smell. Because it's a real MVP, it also takes care of vomit, feces, and other ~organic~ stains brought on by humans and animals in the house alike.

    Amazon

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "I have eight rescue cats. Keeping smells gone can be a nightmare. I am super strict about no odors and I have bought and tried everything on the market for urine but nothing worked for more than a day, then the smell was back. We have ceramic tile floors and they are porous enough to hold odors. Closets, under desks, on stuffed animals — I was at my wit's end trying to stop marking. We tried calming collars, diffusers, locking them out of rooms; nothing was helping. This miracle in a bottle saved my sanity. It has a slightly minty scent that I find pleasant and it WORKS!! I sprayed a crochet toy I thought was a loss and you cannot smell the cat pee anymore. I happily sprayed around my dad's room and bathroom, even his gross jugs, and the smell is no longer there!!! I am going to stock up on this stuff for the rest of my life!!" —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    9. A reviewer-beloved pair of high-waisted biker shorts that will instantly become your summer uniform — these lightly compressive shorts are super breathable for summer exercising *and* chilling, plus are totally squat-proof, help prevent thigh chafing, and even have sneaky side pockets for your phone and accessories.

    I bought these for running last year and I am SO MAD whenever they're in the wash that I just bought several more pairs for summer — the material is nice and thick, so I thought they'd overheat, but they actually stay lightweight and cooling even on my longest runs. It has just the right amount of compression for a workout, but not so much that they're uncomfy to wear casually, either.

    Promising review: "I’m getting back into running again and these actually stay up and the thighs don’t rub together or ride up. I love the pockets. I just had two babies in two years and I am almost four months postpartum with my second child. I live in Florida and it’s hard — I enjoy running but long leggings are becoming out of the question for me. I don’t like short shorts and these are just absolutely perfect as far as length and fit goes. The material is great as far as sweating and see-through goes. I would definitely recommend the shorts as either activewear or even to lounge around the house in." —J L

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL, three lengths, and in 44 colors). 

    10. A Shark Tank–approved set of Safe Grabs silicone mats you can use as oven mitts, counter rests for hot pots and pans, and even as a cover for when you're heating up splatter-prone stuff in the microwave.

    11. A shampoo scalp massager you can use in the shower to massage and exfoliate your scalp, helping deep clean at the root and really get the extra mileage out of your shampoo. Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this has also helped with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness, and many others love that this lets them clean their hair without messing up their nails!

    I have one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you generate some suds. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this is a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.

    Promising review: "I bought this item based on the reviews and needing something that would help with my itchy scalp. I tend to have a line on the back of my scalp where product builds up due to my thick hair and extreme Florida humidity. I've used this a few times now and I love the way it feels. It helps the shampoo really get into my scalp and I haven't had as much itching since I started." —Ashley R. 

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

    12. rechargeable, flameless electric lighter for everything from lighting your beloved three-wick candles to your gas burners — this is not only a much safer option than matches, but also way more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than getting long-stemmed gas lighters.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! It worked like a charm on their stove, which needs to be lit by hand. I use it on all my candles now too. I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended-arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.

    Promising review: "Turns lighting three-wick candles into Harry Potter magic. And while 'life-changing' may sound a touch hyperbolic, it really isn't if you've ever gotten a hand cramp from clicking a butane lighter that stubbornly refuses to produce a flame. Simple to charge with the included cord — and the charge is long lasting. (I charged mine a week or two ago and use it nearly every day.) Love that it has a light to indicate when it's on/off." —Call of the Mild

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

    13. A broom for pet and human hair that can work on any type of floor, but is specifically designed to pull hair up from the carpet faster and deeper than even a lot of vacuums can reach. Not only that, but it has a built-in squeegee edge to cleans windows, showers, and windshields to boot (plus take care of liquid spills on hard floors!).

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets.

    Promising review: "This sucker is magic. I bought mine three years ago and it still works. I use it to scrape up the dog hair that gets embedded in my living room rug. (We have two basset hounds who are constantly shedding.) The vacuum gets a lot of it, but even after I run the vacuum I can drag this broom over the rug and drags up entire piles of dirt and fur that were missed. It's also great on my kitchen tile. We have a dog door in our kitchen, so our two bassets are always dragging in dirt and making messes. This works better than a broom because it works like a squeegee — nothing gets caught in the broom fibers, and it can clean up damp/wet messes as well." —yetanotherstephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $12.44.

    14. A combination sleep mask with wireless headphones so you can block out light *and* listen to white noise, audiobooks, or music to relax without risking your ears getting sore while you snooze. Bonus: It's designed to work for side sleepers, and the inside is contoured with a cooling memory foam so you don't feel pressure on your eyes, either.

    It takes about two hours to charge, with each charge offering 10 hours of continuous play time.

    Promising review: "I love love love this mask! I was truly impressed by the sound quality of those little speakers! Very comfortable to wear and sleep in various positions. It is a blackout mask and, trust me, if you have it on correctly, you will not see any light at all. I normally have difficulty falling asleep, but now I can't wait to put it on, because I Bluetooth it to my phone and turn on my sleep meditation and I promise you I am sleep in about 10 minutes or less. I accidentally overslept last week because I forgot to turn my alarm back on and when I took off the mask the sun was shining bright, so I knew I was late; thankfully not too late. The charge on the mask lasts a long time as well." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $20.97.

    15. Or a pair of CozyPhones designed specifically for kids, with comfort, safety, and a commitment to protecting the city of Gotham in mind. Not only is this a great (safe!) way for kids to listen to music, but they can pull the CozyPhones over their eyes to use as an eye mask as well.

    CozyPhones is a Virginia-based, veteran-owned family business established in 2015 that specializes in comfortable, accessible headphones for children.

    Promising review: "Comfortable, easy to use and overall a great product! I bought three of these for a 3-, 6- and 7-year-old to wear on a flight, for use with their Kindles. They fit their heads snug, but were not too tight. You can adjust the speaker inside the headband easily to fit over their ears. The kids wore them for about two hours, and even pulled them over their eyes to snooze! Great product, excellent quality, and highly portable without taking up much room! I'd highly recommend these for kids over 3!" —Rihcampoop

    Get it from Amazon for $15.97+ (available in five styles).

    16. A set of velvet closet hangers designed to cling ever so slightly to your clothes, both so the clothes stay put more firmly on the hanger and so they flatten a bit to reduce the bulk of some of your clothing (hello, all 10,000 of my oversized flannels) takes up.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    I bought about 60 of these six years ago just to streamline the ~aesthetic~ of my closet, and I have now carried them with me through three closets and two big moves and can't imagine using any other kind of hanger. The velvet locks all my shirts and coats in place so I never have to worry about finding them bunched up at the bottom of my closet whenever I jostle them looking for something to wear, and they have been a *godsend* for reducing the space taken up in my closet. I also just love how sleek and organized they make my closet look. A few reviewers mentioned the velvet coming off on their clothes, but I've never had an issue with the beige ones.

    Get a set of 30 from Amazon for $17.12 (available in five colors, three sizes of sets, and in shirt, skirt, and suit hangers).

    17. An airtight pantry-organizing container set so you can not only organize the horror show that is your pantry, but keep all your goods fresher *way* longer. The lids are so airtight you can store liquid in them and jostle 'em around. 

    Customer image of five air tight containers with dry and wet goods in them

    Promising review: "The lids are magic. I have been a fan of OXO Good Grips products since moving out and establishing my own household. My husband and I had been eyeing this storage set for quite some time and finally took the plunge. Often I will do a pro/con list for my reviews, but I cannot in this case. There are no cons. This design is impeccable. The canisters themselves are sturdy, and since they’re clear, it’s obvious what’s inside. The magic here is really in the lids. They create a perfect seal with the push of the button (unsealing the same way). I put 4 to 5 pounds of pasta in one of mine, turned it upside down, and not a noodle spilled. The lids can be completely dismantled for cleaning, and it’s all dishwasher safe. All containers are stackable, so this really is a fantastic way to get organized and save space. These are magnificent!" —Reviewtoakill

    Get a set of five from Amazon for $51.95.

    18. An adorable multipurpose nursing cover you can also use as a car seat cover, stroller cover, and high chair cover, made in unique soft jersey fabric patterns that are easily washable and long-lasting.

    Get it from Spiltmilk on Etsy for $42.95 (also available in dozens of other patterns in the Spiltmilk shop). 

    19. A rechargeable hand warmer complete with double-sided heat and three different heat settings you can either use to keep your hands warm in the winter, or use for easy on-the-go pain relief when the aches and twinges in your hands are acting up after a long day of typing at the keyboard or other strenuous, repetitive activities.

    Psst — this is USB rechargeable, and you can even use a power bank or your phone to charge it!

    Promising review: "Amazing pain relief! I have arthritis that hits my hands hard. I have looked long for something that would easily warm my hands and ease the pain of arthritis. Plug-in heat pads are too bulky and you can’t take them with you. This hand warmer is amazing! It has three levels of heat and level one is plenty hot. It really works. And at such a great price! I highly recommend this device. Definitely going to show it to my rheumatologist at my next visit!" —a reviewer in Seattle

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors).

    20. An insulated soundproofing strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door, giving you some much-needed peace and quiet while also working to make sure drafts don't get in or out of the room, preserving your heat in the winter and your AC in the summer.

    Promising review: "Lifesaver. I have roommates who always watch TV loudly until midnight so I purchased this to seal the gap in my door. It really reduced 90% of the noise from living room!!! I can finally have a nice sleep!!!" —wen yan

    Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in two colors).

    21. A suuuper lightweight glare-free Kindle Paperwhite truly out here solving a bajillion problems at once. Not only is it a super portable way to carry around an *entire* library (it holds thousands of books), but it lets you customize the text on the screen however it best suits your eyes and is so waterproof you can read in the rain or even drop it in the pool. It also has a subtle, adjustable backlight, so you can read in the dark without bothering other people in the room trying to snooze.

    Bonus — its charge lasts weeks (plural!!).

    Promising review: "I like the small size. I take it everywhere I go in my purse. I read several hours every day and I have to recharge the battery about every three days. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is difficult for me to hold books so the Kindle is a perfect answer. I like that I have such a large library of books available at any time because I never know what I will be in the mood to read on any given day." —Genny Downs

    22. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors you can use both to take care of those lil' unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or to dermaplane your face — an especially handy tool when many of us can't head to a salon like we normally would.

    This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!

    Promising review: "I just got this delivered today, so I decided to test it. I'm a woman with very dark and coarse hair, so my peach fuzz is a little more prominent than normal, and I'll admit that I do have a unibrow that I try to shave. I've tried everything from a facial blade that never really did much of anything, to a regular old razor, and then finally an electric razor. None of them did what this thing does. My electric razor cuts about half of the growth of the hair, and this razor completely eliminated it. I can't even feel any residual hair that's usually left when I shave, only skin. Plus the built in exfoliation when in use is a great addition; no need for any sort of lotion or shaving cream (although you may want to use right after a shower or get the area wet to weaken the follicles, just as you would any other sort of razor before shaving, and also to avoid razor burn). I hadn't really intended on this happening, but I actually procrastinated on shaving my unibrow this time around and this is going to sound so odd but I'm glad that I did because it completely eliminated the existence of my unibrow." —Natalie Clark

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99.

    23. A bottle of tea tree essential oil that reviewers use for a whole bundle of reasons, including to help soothe red patches, inflammation, and irritation on their skin, to help cleanse buildup on their scalps, prevent dryness, strengthen their nail beds, and just generally ~breathe in~ because it smells so darn relaxing.

    Promising review: "I’ve been using various essential oils for several years. I battled nail fungus for years and tried everything I could find. Nothing worked. Even my doctor didn’t have any suggestions. I researched essential oils to see if one would work for that and tea tree was mentioned. I got on Amazon and found some, ordered a bottle, and have been beyond amazed at the results. It’s not an instant fix but after a few weeks I started to see results! I continue to use it every day, morning and evening. A few drops on a cotton ball is all you need. Highly recommend this product!" —Tootsie

    Get it from Amazon for $8.95.

    24. A set of satin pillowcases that are gentle on your skin and create less friction for your hair, so you don't have to wake up every morning 10 minutes early to work through your tangles. It's also ridiculously cooling in the summer months so you'll stop overheating so much at night, 

    Model hugging a black satin pillow

    Amazon

    A lot of reviewers swear by these for acne prevention, but I got them for my hair — it's baseline pretty wild no matter what state of existence I'm in, but since using the pillowcases, the overnight tangles have pretty much stopped. If I put my hair up in a scrunchie, I'll usually wake up with it more or less still intact, too (which is especially nice if I'm late for my ~morning power walk~ around the neighborhood). Most of all, though, it's soooo nice to sink your face into these in the hot summer, especially when your AC is subpar (ahemmm).

    Promising review: "These have been absolutely amazing. I have suffered with acne for so long and have tried almost everything to get rid of it. At one point I was washing my cotton pillowcases daily. Then I decided to give the silk pillowcase fad a try and for the price I figured wouldn’t matter if they didn't do anything. I have been amazed by the results. Within a week of using these my acne completely cleared. On top of that my hair is less tangled in the morning and I don’t wake up with creases in my face from where I lay face-down on the pillow. Washes really well and no shrinkage. Absolute game-changer and will be ordering more." —Rebecca Bradley

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.49 (available in seven colors and three sizes).

    25. A facial ice roller you can stash in the fridge or freezer, then pull out whenever you want to take your face for a ~chill~ ride after spending time in the heat. Reviewers also swear by this for puffiness and migraines, so it's multitalented.

    Promising review: "Well made for the price. I find it’s helpful in the morning for puffy eyes. It’s great to use after a workout in sunny Florida. I use it to cool down and reduce redness after exercising." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in eight colors).

    26. A vintage-inspired storage ottoman you can use not only to add some extra seating for movie night and group hangs, but for some ~sneaky storage~ to help declutter your space.

    Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than ten minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).

    Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in nine colors).

    27. A soft silicone ear-saver and mask-extender that works overtime on problem-solving — not only does it take some of the pressure off your ears, but it helps make a more personalized fit on masks with elastic straps that don't *quite* fit your face, so you don't have to replace them.

    Amazon

    People are also using these to prevent their hearing aids or earbuds from falling out and getting lost while they're taking masks on and off. Plus this silicone ear-saver is anti-slip to keep it locked in place, and designed not to get tangled in hair.

    Psst — a lot of reviewers mention this worked great for kids' masks, especially since sizing for kids' faces is all over the place and difficult to measure out when you're buying masks online!

    Promising review: "A small investment saves a fortune. Taking a mask on and off your ears is difficult, especially if you wear hearing aids. My audiologist recommended these because so many people were coming in for lost hearing aids. Hearing aids are super expensive. Now I don't worry. This is very comfortable. I love this product." —Chicky Boom Boom

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99 (available in eight different color combos).

    28. A suuuper popular Bio-Oil made with vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender — you may recognize it as a product a lot of people use to help fade scars (both old and new), soothe cracked and dry skin, and help moisturize without affecting their pores, but people are also using it to help with dry and painful skin on their hands from hand-washing and sanitizing.

    FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night.

    Promising review: "I bought this for my scars but because of the current COVID-19 crisis I have been washing my hands so much that they are painfully dry. Hand cream hasn't helped enough so I decided to use the Bio-Oil on them and even after the first application they felt SO much better! I'm glad I bought the big bottle!" —L. Strand

    29. A 3D mouth bracket that clips to the inside of your face mask to keep you from breathing in fabric (especially important for someone like me who talks a million miles an hour and needs to suck in a lot of air!!) and also to help preserve your lipstick and wear your mask in the rain.

    Promising review: "These make it so much easier to have a conversation since your mask isn't right on your mouth and you don't sound all muffled. Other benefit I don't have to speak as loudly. I'm not so sure about being cooler with this because it always feels hot when I have my mask on. There are some clips on both ends of these but I'm not sure how they are used. I find they stay in place if my mask is nice and snug, which it should be. Very satisfied with this product." —Duarte Lady

    30. A customizable lavender-scented hot-and-cold pack, so you can use it hot to help ease aches and pains or use it cold to help deal with migraines or muscle recovery.

    31. A Geekey multitool for camping, which looks impressive at first glance, but functions as *deep breath* a coring tip, serrated edge, can opener, wire stripper, smoking pipe, file, imperial and metric ruler, protractor, bottle opener, multi-head fit driver, lanyard hole, bike spoke key, screwdriver tip, wrench, *and* bit driver all at once. Basically, the great outdoors has nothing on you now.

    Promising review: "The coolest multitool I’ve seen yet. Received as a gift and have now given this to MANY friends and family, and they are now giving it as gifts. I find I use this daily for small household chores but also on my weekend warrior trips for camping, drinks, etc. DO NOT buy the knockoffs, quality and functionality differ GREATLY." —Kerri

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

    32. A roll-out over-the-sink dish-drying rack that might just become the MVP of any kitchen low on space and without a dishwasher — reviewers praise this not just for washing and drying dishes, but as extra cooking counter space. Its heat resistance means you can pop hot pots and pans on it in a pinch.

    Promising review: "I have a very, very small kitchen in my studio. Used not only for dish drainer, but washing fruits and veggies, and as a platform when putting groceries away." —Champagne Alley

    Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

    33. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe makeup right off your face like a human whiteboard, using nothing but water and a gentle scrub. I've been using one for a few months now and not only has it *drastically* cut down my routine and saved money on makeup remover, but it definitely digs deeper into my pores than other washcloths have in the past.

    It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here.

    Promising review: "This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry and it’s perfect. I’ve been using it for over six months now and it hasn’t failed me at all; it’s worth the money!!" —Sharmin Rahman

    Get it from Amazon for $18.79 (available in five colors).

    34. A Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag designed so it'll fit a lot easier in a suitcase than a stiffer bag and save you time by basically canceling the concept of packing and unpacking your beauty arsenal whenever you're on the move — you just can cinch the bag closed and go.

    Promising review: "I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, but...WOW! On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first I wasn’t sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." —Mojosharkey
