    40 Useful Products That Work So Darn Well, You Might Think You've Died And Gone To Heaven

    Cue Rihanna singing, Where have you been all my life -ife, -ife, ife, -ife... 🎶

    1. A zipper puller you'll probably need if you've recently moved out on your own and no longer have roommates to call on for ~zipping you up~ before a night out.

    2. A bag holder, aka the gift of more hands. Arm yourself with this so you can actually afford to get that extra pack of frozen hash browns from Trader Joe's — *and* make it up the three flights of stairs to your apartment without the wrist-ache or multiple trips.

    3. Face mask storage cubbies that deserve a round of applause for saving you time *and* effort. Keep these by the front door so everyone knows what's washed and what needs to be tossed.

    4. Some Sevích hairline shadow you can use to touch up graying roots and fill in thinning areas to give the appearance of denser, thicker hair without the fuss. If you've ever thrown your hair up and noticed areas of pesky gray or spots that are looking a lil' sparse, simply plop some color on the sponge applicator and dab it into your scalp for a fuller 'do.

    5. A jar or lemon scented toilet bombs to break down gross rings that have built up around the edges of your toilet bowl. Just pop one of these lemon drops in and behold: a citrusy fizz taking care of one of your least favorite chores.

    6. An elastic Boobuddy for anyone who simply chooses not to partake in running because the ladies won't stay put. This adjustable invention solves that ish' by strapping over your sports bra to prevent movement for a secure and comfortable fit.

    7. An ingenious donut pillow you can rest your noggin on as you sleep post-ear piercing. Because gah, attempting to avoid irritation after you get a cartilage or conch piercing is how you say... hell. And this has a lil' opening to help your ear heal. Note to younger self: You *need* this.

    8. An earwax removal kit because sure, there are those products that help you breathe easy, but what about the ones that help you hear? These drops soften up excess wax that can cause blockages, so you can bid the days of just smiling and nodding pretending you heard the punchline adieu.

    9. An airplane phone mount allowing you to watch all your saved Netflix shows with comfort and ease mid-flight. And some reviewers are noting how it can be used in regular life, too — no plane ticket required.

    10. Leakproof travel capsules so cute and useful, you can carry *and stack* all your essentials together in one spot on the go (without having to forego your routine). Now pills, creams, and jewelry can all be encased in lil' TSA-approved magnetic containers.

    11. A simple yet remarkable felt insert created to slip into any sort of bag and *poof* instantly organize it. Overcrowded tote bags? Haphazard diaper bags? All now neatly arranged with roomy compartments, so you can stop burrowing for your keys and specs.

    12. Reusable duster pads made of fluffy washable fleece fabric to collect dust bunnies and other allergy-causing particles. So long, wasteful, disposable dusties, these bb's do a *much* faster job — faster than you could sneeze and exclaim "bless you!" to thin air, in fact...

    13. A pastel pink coffee mug warmer for the sipper who can never finish their piping hot coffee or tea in one sitting. With three heat settings, you can attend that virtual meeting you forgot was happening, knowing you don't have to microwave (or worse, remake) that morning cup o' joe.

    14. Luv Scrub mesh body exfoliators to defeat the appearance of backne's past. Ditch that grimy loofah that's been hanging out in your shower for God knows how long, and use this instead. Scrub dead skin off your entire bod for touchably softer arms, legs, backs, and bum cheeks.

    15. A mini bag sealer that heat seals your pack of morning cereal and afternoon pita chips for maximum freshness (and keeps any bugs out from finishing up your snacks before you do!). This handy thing also has a cutter to reopen said seals and a magnet that'll look great on your fridge, so you never misplace it.

    16. A square neck racerback bodysuit gifted with the ability to look like a regular ol' tank but — get this — it never has to be tucked or re-tucked into your jeans or skirts. In this snazzy basic, sorry, GODSEND you'll just have one gloriously seamless foundation to *any* outfit.

    17. A set of Shoe Slotz if you're known for having a collection that could fit an entire store. These slots have an adjustable height so you can layer your mules, sneakers, and heels on the nonslip grooves. Now you've cleared that up, is it time for a new pair?

And yes, this works for *all* skin tones to leave your face with a beautiful dewy glow.

    19. A waffle knit sweater coat that you can swaddle your entire body in for road trips, airplane journeys, or just curled up on your couch. The moment you bury yourself in this?

    25. A reusable sponge so you can ditch that kitchen funk and replace the icky, worn-out scrubber you're pretending still has some life left in it.

    26. A clever morning and night dog feeding system you'll be so happy you bought, especially if you can never seem to remember if you gave Sparky his breakfast.

    36. A set of shelf bins that'll transform your chaotic mess of groceries into a fridge worthy of making an appearance on MTV's Cribs. And if you live with forgetful housemates, you'll actually be able to see what you're stocked up on, so they don't end up piling in doubles of the things they already bought last week.

    37. A set of gold collagen masks if carrying less [under-eye] baggage into the new season has been on your list of to-do's.
