Promising review: "Not only is this functional, it is SO pretty. It gives my bathroom a totally serene feel. It's easy to install — there IS a film on the back that must be removed. On a corner, use a piece of tape on the front and one on the back, and pull apart until the film comes off. Note: The film is clear; the rainbow effect comes from light being refracted by the film." —Stephanie Graham

Promising review: "This is probably the sixth or seventh romper I’ve attempted. And it is the only one that has looked cute. I have curves in all the weird places for a romper. They’re always too short on me and fall weird but the fitted cuff is just perfect on this! I also loved that I had thicker straps because I have pretty large boobs. Spaghetti straps just don’t look good on me. As far as I’m concerned this is the only romper I’ll ever buy!" —Angie

Promising review: "I purchased these for my patio two summers ago and I love them. I put them up in the spring and take them down when it gets too chilly to sit outside. I can’t say how they hold up in the cold temperatures of winter. But what I can say is that I love these, they are small enough that they don’t hang down too far and they give off a nice relaxing glow that's not too bright." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is cute, adorable, awesome, and useful! I use it daily, keep it out on the counter by my sink, and I enjoy it as much now as on the day I got it. It's useful as well as aesthetic. It's innovative and clever, and it makes an awesome gift. I gave one to a friend, and she likes it as much as I do. Remember this as the holidays arrive." —Wise Mind

Promising review: "My favorite and my go to hair clip!!! Its a clip that finally holds all of my hair in place the entire day. I wear it to work out in as well as an accessory for my every wear. Love these!! I would buy more just to have around. I’m very particular on the quality of the clips. This is so strong I know that they will last for years to come. Best ever!!" —Hoopes

Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black woman-owned business that was started in Miami in 2016. The brand's products are cruelty-free and formulated without parabens or other harmful chemicals to shield and moisturize skin.
Promising review: "I know as women of color we worry about that ashy/white cast type of look when we put on sunscreen or looking oily, but this sunscreen doesn’t cause either one of those things to happen. It blends into the skin very well immediately, it doesn’t have that sterling sunscreen smell and a little goes a very long way. I highly recommend!" —Kayla
Get it from Target for $15.99 or Black Girl Sunscreen for $18.99.
Promising review: "I am so glad I found these. I was looking for something to wear under shorter dresses but that wasn’t super tight, because if I’m wearing a dress it means I don’t want a tight waistband. These are pretty comfy and just feel like yoga/lounge pants. It is true they are not fitting at the bottom hem, but fairly close. If you want the tight, control-top feeling, then size down. But if you want a comfortable loungewear feel, go with your correct size. I’m glad I bought them, and they are perfect for lounging around the house or sleeping in as well." —S. Vanhoose

I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purpley, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my undereyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to de-puff and re-fresh.
Promising review: "I was searching for some really good treatments for my under eye puffiness and I liked the reviews and ingredient lists for this product.. I have used one set a week for three weeks and have noticed a lot less puffy/dark areas under my eyes. I use them at room temperature and chilled and find that I enjoy them chilled a lot better. They were also very budget friendly, I've seen other brands charging a lot more without have as many good reviews. Im looking forward to more improvements as I use the rest of the product." —Kai Charles

This stuff can be used in the bathroom, the kitchen, and on multiple things outdoors, so consider it the master of removing stains and grime.
Promising review: "We recently moved into a new-to-us home. I’ve tried and tried to get water spots off from an old, yucky-looking bathroom faucet. I just about gave up until I decided to try just one more product. I’m so glad I did!" —Allyson

Promising review: "I really love the fit of these tanks on me. They are a super soft thick but breathable material. I have ordered multiple colors at this point and have paired them in so many different ways. I love to wear them with long skirts for a more dressed up look. They look great with shorts in the warm weather. I get hot very easily and although the material is warmer i was super comfortable! These will be great for winter time in New England as well because the fabric is thicker and comfortable! These tanks are a good length and go great tucked in or over your bottoms." —Ashley Bonnett
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 13 colors).

Just look at all that new usable space!
Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds... but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" —Dennis A. Evans

“I am obsessed with this plush shoulder bag. I’ve seen a ton of these being sold at stores (i.e. Urban Outfitters) but can’t justify the steep price tag. When I saw this one on Amazon I had to have it. It looks so cute with a ton of my outfits since I wear mostly neutrals and actually fits a ton of things. I can fit my disposable camera, two wallets, hand sanitizer, mask, with room to spare. If you want a fun pop of pattern to add to your outfits then snag one of these bags. I got a ton of compliments on it and for under $15? How can you go wrong?” —Allison Faccenda
Promising review: "This bag is really good quality especially for the price and goes well with a lot of fits. It’s high capacity and I always get compliments." —Alani

Promising review: "Love this hammock! I keep it in my car spring through fall because it is so compact and lightweight. I have pulled it out multiple times on impromptu stops at the park or beach. The size fits me and my two kids and we still have no tips or tears after almost two years. Great product!!" —Amazon Customer

Plus, you can sous vide with these and they're dishwasher and microwave-safe!
Promising review: "Start with one or two (sandwich size is a good starter) and build your stash as you get rid of the ziplock bags in your drawers. We've been using all sizes of Stasher bags for nearly a year — mostly food related — and have not had any issues with a single one. We use them to keep crackers/chips/bread from getting stale after opened, to keep leftovers in the fridge or freezer, pack sandwiches/meds/dog food or treats + so many more things. They don't leak, they don't smell, are easy to close and open, and don't take up much room compared to traditional tupperware or other food storage." —Maison Leach

Promising review: "These shades have become my new favorites! I love that I can put them on top of my head without my hair getting caught in them. They're a plastic frame but it's not flimsy or cheaply made and they look really stylish. They can be worn with sporty or dress clothes as well. They blow out the sun but I am still able to see well, so I love them when I'm driving. They come with a soft cloth for cleaning and a carrying bag to prevent scratches. They fit well without sliding off if I bend over and they don't feel heavy on the bridge of my nose. I have to say that they look better in person than in the photo and I'm really happy with my purchase." –LadyTsotsos_Beauty

BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has been putting hers to good use: "I recently started putting this on my end-of-the-week whiskey drink (quarantine has made me go full Mad Men, who knew!!) and it is SO darn satisfying. I tried the citrus petals version, and it's got a light lemon, faint floral, and vaguely minty taste with its sweetness that just makes the whole experience a delight and a half. The container it comes in is actually quite wide, so what we did was pour lemon juice on the top half to prep the rim, and a bit of sugar in the bottom half to coat it. In other news, I am officially too fancy to exist."
Promising review: "Since COVID-19 I have become my own bartender. Taco Tuesdays and margaritas! The lime comes through so well with this salt. I use it for Bloody Marys as well. It is thick and chunky so its a learning curve to get the right amount of salt on. Don't press down too hard if you don't like a lot of salt. I do like extra salt but my husband said it was a little much for him, so I have mastered just a light salt for him." —cobrajet427

If you're anything like me and simply canNOT with makeup these days... or, if you're also like me and LOVE any and every beauty product — but are welcoming the chance to give your skin a break from lathering on multiple products, like concealers, bronzers, and such, you're going to want to lend an ear. As someone who has tried a few tinted moisturizers/CC creams over the years, I have to say this budget-friendly option from Revolution Beauty has me sitting up straight. Because in mere seconds, this tube of goodness has allowed me to blur blemishes, achieve a smooth, evened-out complexion, and with its lightweight, buildable formula it doesn't leave a tacky residue either. And here’s the real kicker, I, a rather animated person, have even noticed that it doesn’t seep into my laughter line creases. That’s crease-free coverage, people! Oh, and it also contains glycerin so you know you’re going to experience a powerhouse of hydration in the form of a nice, dewy glow.

This migraine stick is super easy to use! Just roll it on the back of your neck, forehead, and temples for some relief from the most annoying head pain. Check out our full review of Migrastil Migraine Stick here.
Promising review: "I have noticed throughout my work day I will begin to get the dreaded afternoon headache. This migraine stick is my new go-to. The second I feel a headache coming on, I just roll this on and within seconds I feel it working. Within a minute or so I feel fine again. I noticed it gives a little boost of energy as well. I have also used it when I feel a full blown migraine coming on. All I can say is it really works. In addition to taking the pain away, it also provides a tingly sensation. Wherever you roll it on tingles after application. I am now a customer for life and love this product. I have also noticed that even if I use it often, it keeps working. You don’t grow a tolerance to it." —Corinne Beck

Promising review: "This was super simple to use and really made a difference in diamond earrings I have. I didn't want to take them in to get cleaned, and I hadn't cleaned them before, so I decided to try to do it myself before paying someone else to do it for me. I'm glad I got this instead of going to someone because it worked great! It cleaned my 'dusty' earrings and made them look brand-new to where they sparkle again. I'm very happy with the results, especially because it was so easy to use. I also like how it comes with a tray that you can pull out easily and a brush to use to help clean off your jewelry. This was an awesome, and cheap, solution to my problem." —Cammy

This comes with a magnetic holder for easy storage — and, I can attest, provides a close, clean shave. This only-looks-fancy razor feels a lot weightier than other razors I have used, which means I don't have to press down as hard to remove hair. Working smarter not harder to do one of my least favorite tasks? I'll take it. Plus, I didn't experience any irritation post-shave!
Promising review: "Just buy it! This is the best razor I have ever used. I have very sensitive skin. Razors are usually agitating to my skin during use with added sensitivity after shaving. This was the closest most comfortable shave. I have not had any agitation or discomforts. My skin feels amazing. There is also the added benefit of how nice the razor looks." —Taryn S.

It even has a minty scent, so you don't have to worry about that harsh chemical smell most cleaning products usually emit.
Promising review: "I have tried for weeks to get rid of some very tough hard water stains on my glass shower panel. They had been there for three years while my apartment was rented and never cleaned. I have tried just about everything from toothpaste, to vinegar, to different types of chemical products. Then I found this product...PURE MAGIC!!! The nontoxicity of the product is definitely a plus, it doesn't smell bad and doesn't sting your lungs like some hard chemicals do. Its biodegradability is a plus! I feel better knowing I'm not dumping some more toxic chemicals down the drain. Most importantly, it works!!! After 10 minutes of work it has removed 90% of the hard water stains that simply would not come off in the past!!" —O.R

It can also be used as a foundation to even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of pores and blemishes.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this powder. I've used more expensive ones in the past, but this one takes the cake. It keeps my makeup on all day, even with my oily skin. I personally don't use the 'baking' method, but even so it keeps my face in place all day, even when I get hot and sweaty. Other reviewers are right, it does have a slight baby powder smell, but it doesn't bother my very much and once you've applied it to your face, the smell disappears. I recommend it to all of my friends!" —Brittany

Promising review: "I just bought my first house and because of COVID I have not had the funds I wanted to fix it up. This was cheap and the backsplash in my new kitchen was an eyesore. I wasn't expecting much because of the price and I am absolutely stunned. My kitchen looks so much better! It was easy to use, no odor, and quick! I did two coats because the color was dark brown. Some places I did more but I didn't mind doing it because it was actually really satisfying. Definitely recommend this product!" —Kim

You can use this daily or weekly depending on how you feel about its abrasiveness.
Promising review: "This is a holy grail to my sensitive skin and germaphobic personality! It does take time to get used to due to its rough feel, but once you start to use it daily, it's hard to use anything else! Nothing else gives me such a clean feeling on my skin during my showers. I use to have very bad skin conditions all over my body: eczema, body acne, dry patches, and dark spots. This helped clear basically everything, and now I'm more confident in showing my skin in public than I have ever been. It soaks up very nicely, and you can feel all of the dirt that's on your skin from day-to-day activities getting scrubbed off. The long length is great for reaching in hard to reach spots, such as your back. Since it's extremely rough, I would advise against using it on your face." —Jay G.
