Same life, new spring makeover.
BTW, the shampoo works really well on makeup sponges, too — hit this Amazon reviewer's "before" and "after" for proof.
Promising review: "I love these little cleaning eggs! I coupled one with a brush shampoo. It cleaned out loads of product even after I thought they were clean. My brushes are now fresh and soft. I was able to really get my brushes clean without having to be overly rough with them. A solid purchase. Tip: hang your brushes upside down to dry to keep the bristles soft and fluffy and allow the bases to fully dry out. (I use an IKEA sock hanger)." —Shadia Elhert
Get them both from Amazon: $4.69 for the two-pack of eggs and $6.99 for the shampoo.
Promising review: "This dry shampoo is amazing! I have tried so many brands over the years and was so dissatisfied with all of them that I thought dry shampoo just wasn't for me. To give context, I have a very oily scalp with long, fine blonde hair. Batiste saves the day! I don't like washing my hair every day and this product helps me last two to three days from my last shampoo. It gives good volume and doesn't feel loaded with product. Also, it does leave some white residue, but a blow-dryer on cool gets almost all of this out. I highly recommend this dry shampoo to anyone with an oily scalp! It's amazing for the price and for how frequently I need to use it. And for anyone worried about build-up, I have never had an issue with this dry shampoo and I use it about four times a week." —Laurel Adkins

Reviewers mention that this is a dream for small and big closets, alike!
Promising review: "I love using this to add extra capacity in my client's closets (I'm a professional organizer). It's easy to put together, looks attractive, and is easily adjustable.

Promising review: "Bought this little air filter for bedroom due to seasonal allergies since spring is in the air. Filter is whisper quiet while in sleep mode. Even in the second setting its easy to fall asleep sounds like white noise. Theres a spot on the top of the filter which you can use oils to add aromatic fragrance to the room. Works surprisingly well." —Roody808

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
Get them from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in three lengths and three colors).
Promising review: "Having no place to store my shoes was driving me nuts, and I was always tripping over shoes. I wasn’t sure if the pockets in the organizer would be large enough for my Crocs, but they fit perfectly when I put the shoes in heel first. (For reference: my Crocs are women’s size 9). I was able to get two pairs of sneakers in the last two sets of pockets as well. The pockets seem to be well made, and I’m confident that this shoe organizer will last." —A. Roach

Promising review: "My go-to all day sandal. Foam is comfortable for walking all day. The straps are thick and comfortable. Easy to put on and take off. You can wear them in water. And super crispy bright white. If they get dirty, you can use some soap and a toothbrush and boom — bright white again. I highly recommend them." —Tiara

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

This simulates the sunrise and sunset with 20 brightness settings that slowly increase over 30 minutes. And with your choice of five different wakeup sounds, the alarm only sounds once it's at its full brightness.
Promising review: "This has really made a big difference in how I wake up every morning. On these short winter days, I always have to wake up before sunrise, and that's...challenging. I found myself hitting the snooze button at least three times, leaving very little time for me to get ready and to work on time. Having the sunrise simulation wakes me up gradually and completely. I almost always wake up fully before the music starts and I have not needed the snooze function yet. All of the wake up sounds were pleasant. I especially like the birdsong with flute music, as it reminds me of being in a spa. I like the dusk option for going to sleep. I set it for 30–60 minutes and read until it's too dark and I drop off to sleep. An additional bonus is that since I'm no longer using my cellphone as my alarm clock, I practice better sleep hygiene and keep my cellphone out of the bedroom. It is a significant investment but it has been worth it." —MsEdinger

Promising review: "This product does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provided flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn

Promising review: "FINALLY the tint I've been dreaming of!! I have tried SO many different kinds of tints, bb creams, and foundations leaving me feeling disappointed. I've been looking for something super sheer and smoothing and I finally found it! It leaves me feeling glowing and soft and sheer enough you can see my freckles. I threw away all my others this is my absolute go to for everyday wear. This formula is is light and matches my color perfectly! Thank you for this amazing product!" —WhitneyWalker0690

Promising review: "It’s a great fit in my small house! It’s lightweight and I was able to put it together by myself with the tool that was supplied. Fits lots of shoes and coats.

This brand uses an exclusive formula rich in all-natural fermented vinegar, which contains vitamins and postbiotics (including 17 different amino acids, acetic acid, lactic acid and malic acid) that helps to exfoliate skin and provide antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to the skin's barrier.
I've been integrating this duo into my skincare routine to combat any pesky dry patches leftover from Ms. Winter's grasp. The Hydro Cream melts into my skin and allows for better makeup application (when I actually apply makeup that is!). But the star of the show has to be the Serum Mist, which I've been using on the reg' as an end of the day pick-me-up — or to look more awake for video calls. It leaves a light shimmer on my skin so I don't feel the need to apply highlighter and sometimes, when I'm feeling really lackadaisical, even concealer. A win-win for spring skin!
Promising review: "I use everyday glow set for two weeks and already can see the difference. My skin tone became more even and bright. Skin looks hydrated, glowing and definitely younger. I wanted to try Korean cosmetics for a while but couldn’t decide which brand to get until I found an article in Vogue magazine about 107 Beauty products and decided to go with it. I’m really happy about my decision and I definitely will try other products of this brand." —Elena B.

One reviewer used the desk pad as a mat for a makeup vanity which is SUPER smart since it can prevent beauty products from staining lighter surfaces.
Promising review: "This is a super simple but elegant addition to my desk. I purchased the pink one and it contrasts nicely with my dark espresso wooden desk. The mouse moves easy and steady on the surface and has made it much easier to write on my desk. Since the desk is wooden, it's collected small imperfections over the years, making writing on the desk sometimes difficult. I would definitely recommend for new or old desks. New to prevent nicks and dents, and for the old ones to cover them up." —Deleah

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

Promising review: "Wow, after 10 years in our house I had pretty much given up on getting our toilets looking nice again. You have kids who forget to flush? I thought I'd have a nasty-looking toilet for the rest of time...until I discovered this tool! Holy wow, when I tell you that I have spent HOURS trying to clean the toilet before (with no results) and this thing made it SPARKLING WHITE in less than five minutes I'm not joking! Never again will I settle for toilet rings or stained toilet bottoms. This tool will do the job for you, just scrub and it's gone!" —Lilac28

Promising review: "This is an excellent product that I cannot say enough good things about. I had thrown away my current Keurig machine thinking it was broken. I decided to try to resurrect it using these cleaners and I am glad I did! One cup took care of years of neglect on my part (lesson learned). Because there was so much cleaning needed, I used two cups, and now the machine works perfectly. So glad I discovered this product and highly recommend. I am thinking a three-month interval to keep the machine in good condition. Thank you so much!" —Susan

Promising review: "We renovated to a more modern-industrial look and wanted to keep our mid-century modern slate blue-grey sofa. Unfortunately, it has no legs. So to bring it into a more contemporary style, we added these legs. We are thrilled with how it turned out! Really made the couch look new again and the subtle styling blends in well with our new surroundings. The price was amazing. I would get these again in any size." —Lorine Thiele

Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!" —oceantiff

It even fits right into the drawer below the knife block. Love it!" —AlwaysAmyBrand

Promising review: "Absolutely love this stuff! We have an older log cabin that was pretty neglected, both inside and out. Our wood floors were faded and worn. The outside logs looked dry and faded. I decided to give this a try before paying to have the floors sanded and refinished; and also outside before having the whole log home re-stained. This stuff is absolutely amazing. It soaks into the wood and really revitalizes it. In spots that the wood soaks it in quickly, a second or third treatment may be needed. I just squirted it on the floor and mopped it in with a mircofiber mop. Outside, I added it to a rag and simply wiped the logs. It's been a week now and this is not a temporary fix like you might see with orange glo or others that leave a greasy, temporary finish. What an awesome buy!!!" —Frank T.

Promising review: "I’ve tried everything to clean my pendant lights. The grease from the kitchen just gets on them and using regular cleaning liquids just smears it.

I use this on my floors, my granite countertops, glass stove top, I put a little in my laundry, on my dining room table, I even use a little to wet dust with. I literally clean even when I don’t have to just so I can smell its fragrance. I love that the scent on my laundry lasts. I used the Frankincense & Myrrh cleaner on my bedsheets and duvet cover and the scent lasted quite some time. My home smells so fresh and airy. I will be ordering again soon." —Keyana
