Promising review: "I never knew I needed dishwasher cleaner. I found this product in a BuzzFeed article. The reviews were so great I just knew i had to try it. I was pretty blown away by what the inside of my dishwasher looked like after. It wasn’t funky dirty per se, but it definitely looked aged. It was also noticeably fresher once opened versus just meh." —Shasha

Promising review: "I don't know how I got along with out this! All washers need a good cleansing now and then, just to clear out things like dirt, old detergent and gummy fabric softeners that get left behind in and around the tub, and in the hoses. Over time, your machine gets a musty odor (especially if you are on well water) that gets transferred to your clean laundry. This product does an excellent job of clearing out all the things that accumulate, especially in places you can't see. Highly recommend this, and their other products for cleaning your dishwasher, coffee maker and the dreaded garbage disposal odor!" —Outstander

Promising review: "Best sweatpants ever. I can't explain how genuinely happy I am that these pants fit. I have trouble finding pants that fit AND are comfortable AND look good and I just found all three. These pants are very comfortable and soft but not see through even if you stretch it. The material seems thin enough to let you breathe but thick and durable enough to last one to three-plus years. (Hard to tell based on one wear, will update as time goes by.) Ordered a 3X and it fits perfectly. I also usually hate wide waistbands especially on my belly but this one is very soft and just mostly feels like extra layers of fabric, but is still pretty secure on your waist. Will definitely buy multiple pairs. :)" —Stacey
Get them from Amazon for $8.31+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and dozens of colors).
Simply fill with water, pop it in the freezer, remove, and then pour in your coffee to chill and then into your cup. This dishwasher-safe container can also be used to cool chill tea, juice, wine, or whatever else you feel like drinking. No water comes into contact with your beverage, so you don't have to worry about dilution, either.
Promising review: "I am an avid (i.e. daily) iced coffee drinker, but I have been extremely hesitant to make my own iced coffee at home because I didn’t want the bitter flavor from two-day old coffee or the watered-down nature of just adding ice to coffee. Thanks to the HyperChiller, I have now found a solution!!! The HyperChilller worked like a CHARM today!!! I was able to create my own iced coffee directly from my coffee maker in the comfort of my own home. I guarantee this item will be used frequently! Great job!" —Chelsea

Happy Earth Boutique is a New Jersey-based Etsy store that specializes in making healthy, good-for-the-planet cleaning supplies.

Promising review: "Forget that these are microfiber. These really are the BEST sheets ever! I purchased the light pink and they are absolutely gorgeous! They are the softest and most comfortable sheets I've ever had! The customer service is outstanding. I did receive a set with some random areas of darker pink dye. I contacted them and they apologized and offered me either a full refund or a new set. Of course I chose the new set, as I said, these are the best sheets ever. AND...I get to keep the first set of sheets! They are not see-through either. They are not hot. They are wrinkle free and deep pocket with elastic all around. No other fitted sheets would stay on my bed! These are the only sheets I will ever buy." —Amy Beth Luthor
Get it from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in 12 sizes and 43 colors).
Promising review: "Spent years using a brow pomade but got tired of it drying out in the little pot so quickly. I avoided pencils since I could never find one that went on as saturated and with a creamy sort of consistency that I was used to. Tried this on a whim since I'd seen a few positive reviews via YouTube and thought the angled tip was pretty neat. I don't know if I'd want to use anything else ever again because I love it so much! Easy to apply, goes on smoothly, and the little brush on the end is great for evenly brushing product through the brows once they're filled in. Looks so natural and precise. So very happy to get out of my comfort zone and try something new." —Shannon M Slape
Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in four shades).
This lil' guy works with every Venus razor head — and because the handle is shorter, you can actually achieve a closer shave *and* the circular grip makes it super easy to hold and control.
Promising review: "Great companion for travel and gym. I love the compact case, so it easily slips into the pocket of a bag and you don't have to worry about cutting yourself rummaging for it. I actually bought some for my friend and a second one for myself (one now is a permanent fixture in my gym bag the other for travel). I also actually prefer the shorter handle for the bikini line. And the cherry on top is that you can replace the blade with regular Venus razor heads." —LondonPeach

Promising review: "After messing around with a cotton bud in my left ear (never do this), I managed to fully block all hearing in it. I ran around like a headless chicken for about 24 hours because the pressure in the ear was so intense. One treatment of Debrox and the blockage immediately subsided. Trick is to let it sit in the ear for at least five minutes. Drain the ear, wait another five minutes, then irrigate with the bulb and warm water, never cold. Seldom does a remedy work as advertised; this one does!" —Chazmax1
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
Promising review: "I bought this little guy because I never put my clothes away and they get all wrinkled. Seriously, I’m one lazy person. LOL. This steamer is small and compact but packs a punch for getting out wrinkles. It takes no time at all and is super easy to use. Literally fill with water and turn the switch on." —Kamryn Walden

One kit will cover up to 35 sq. feet of countertop. And pro tip, some reviewers recommend glazing it with an epoxy coat for the extra wow factor!
Promising Review: "I recently purchased my first home and remodeled it. I couldn't afford new countertops, so I decided to give this a try and am very glad I did. Overall, this was pretty easy to do :-) Now, people rave about my countertops and can't believe I painted them! They are impressive and look great. I am very glad I went this route and gave this product a try." —Duval Chad

Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie Nolen

This kitchen essential is programmable, comes with a 60-ounce removable water reservoir, adjustable warming plate (that has a two-hour auto-shutoff function), and your coffee can be brewed under different strengths: i.e. "classic" or "rich."
Promising review: "I've had many many coffee makers over the years and this Ninja is the best one I've ever bought. It's incredibly easy to use and figure out for delay settings/keeping warm time etc but the thing I love the most is the carafe. I've never had a carafe with a coffee maker that was this amazing. The design of it prevents any "spillage" when pouring a cup of coffee and it's aesthetically pleasing as well. Cleanup is a breeze and the removable tank for water is a huge plus as well. The coffee tastes incredible and I'll buy another one of these when/if this one ever dies. I'd give it a 10 if possible!!" —Aletha Cates

And if you're looking for more definition, this goes on *before* your go-to pigmented pencil or gel for a sleek and fuller look!
Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia BH, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon

This solution comes in a recyclable bottle and is super concentrated, so a little goes a long way — and it should be diluted with water first for surface cleaning. It's composed of water, plant-based soap, cleaning salts, vinegar, and fragrance oils.
Good Vibes is a Black woman-owned business that sells plant-based multi-surface cleaners in unique fragrances like frankincense and myrrh, and magnolia that can be used all over the house, on sneakers, and on car exteriors.
Promising review: "I don’t even know where to start! 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
Get it from Good Vibes for $10+ (available in three scents and two sizes).
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately 5 to 7 hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

I had been meaning to give this a whirl since its release a few years ago, and, boy, I don't know why I waited so long to snag it because this stuff has changed the game. I recently moved from New York to California and, let me tell you, with this change in climate, my skin has gone through every phase imaginable: Painfully flaky with patches of dryness, breakouts beyond belief, and shine, ooh, so much shine you'd think there had been an oil spill. (And I'm telling you all of this because no matter what I put on my face, makeup never sits on it quite like I want it to.)
Enter Wowder — the pillowy-soft powder that has done the unthinkable: blurred my imperfections and sets my concealer without leaving a chalky residue. Now anytime I catch my reflection in the mirror I literally have to double take. My skin appears smoother and any fine lines look so much softer. A little goes a long way — and now I can leave my house with a little more confidence and return with a look that hasn't wavered.
Oh! And it's vegan and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I’m 32. I have a hard time with powders settling into my fine lines and making me look 42. This looks just like my skin, sets my eyeliner really well, and stays all day for me with the Stretch Concealer. And I use SO LITTLE. I’m obsessed. I love this powder." —LC
Get it from Glossier for $22 (available in five shades).
Promising review: "LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! I am a 36F and have an impossible time finding a sports bra for running. I used this band over a cheaper sports bra and am never going back. It’s so comfortable and so much more breathable than my expensive max support bras. I need an extra now for when this is in the wash!" —Elizabeth G.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors and sizes S-L).
OH! And it has an adjustable back so it can be worn as a racerback!
Promising review: "I am large-chested (36FF) and it is SO hard to find sports bras made for larger busts that are supportive enough. I run and do a lot of HIIT, and this sports bra is fantastic for keeping me in place during my workouts! Plus, it is very comfortable and made of a soft material. I highly recommend this sports bra." —Chilaquiles
Get it from Amazon for $31.68+ (available in band sizes 28–40, cup sizes D–J, and 32 styles).
Promising review: "I loved this color changing balm!!!!!!! It’s been my favorite purchase so far. Saw this girl on TikTok use it and I had to try it. It’s super compact and the color it gives out is so pretty and fits well with everyone’s skin tone. It’s moisturizing and it’s sheer. I’m buying more instead of getting my lips tattooed." —Stephany

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: "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: "Where has this product been for the last 15 years? I travel 50% of the time for business and often times can’t zip up my dresses myself. I have to find a housekeeper in the hotel hallway or go to the lobby (half zipped) to find some helpful soul zip me up. This zipuller has solved my problem!! This tool works exactly as designed. Instructions are simple. Pull string is long enough. This is now part of my must take travel tools. I need one for home and one for business travel now! Great idea. PS. Market to women who travel on business." —Joe Bowman

This stuff is cruelty free and contains nontoxic plant fibers, including beeswax so is safe to use on your skin.
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! If you have thinning hair or graying hair, this powder is a must have. It even creates a bit of volume to my very thin hair. I've purchased many different hair products to conceal my thinning hair, most are ineffective, messy, or leave my hair feeling greasy. It's super easy to use, I even use it for my sparse eyebrows, I simply brush use a soft, small lip liner brush to fill in my brows for a natural look. I also love that it lasts till your next shampoo. At first I didn't like the built-in sponge, but I've grown to really like it. The powder sticks to the sponge, making it easy to apply to whatever area you want to cover up, and the powder doesn't come off on pillows if you leave it on overnight." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.54 (available in 12 shades).
The Roll Keeper is a small, woman-owned business based in Washington. They create unique, handcrafted storage solutions.
Promising review: "These Roll Keepers made it so much easier to store my T-shirts, jeans, towels, etc., leaving ample room in my closet or drawers for additional items. I only need one hanger to hang 12 to 16 items! I definitely recommend this item for those who have limited space and wish to be more organized while looking less cluttered. I will be purchasing more." —Shanette Labonte

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

Promising review: "Soon as I saw this, I knew I had to get it. How smart that someone finally came up with something that will hold your polish? Not everyone can afford to, or want to go out and get mani pedis right now. Some of us want to stay home, stay away from the germs and do these things ourselves. But of course, I would make a mess or tip the polish over or knock it over when working on my fingers and toes. This is perfect. It fits on my hand, it fits all sizes of nail polish bottles and it is made of a nice, thick plastic. You get 5 big stars from me." —Anne Maes

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.
Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and [one for] the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out, and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They also sell cute scrunchies, cloth face masks, satin pillowcases, and more.
BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd loves hers and tells us: "I've used hair towel for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I'm trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place, without being irritating at all. And obviously it's super cute, which is always a bonus."
Promising review: "I usually don’t take the time out to rate any of the items I purchase on amazon but I love this hair towel! It’s hard to find ones that have the scrunch to it, it really holds your hair in place. I have very long and thick hair so normal hair turbans without the scrunch do nothing for me. This towel by KITSCH holds every inch of my hair with no problem and DOES NOT ride up !!!!! I love it PERIOD and I will be buying another one!!! —Gia Denise
Get it from Amazon for $23 or Kitsch for $23 (available in seven colors).
Melanie Aman, an editor on our shopping team, tried these out and says: "These are hands down the best pimple patches I’ve ever used. Why? Because they actually work. I’ve tried some more cutesy patches that were great for Instagram photos but did nothing to shrink my breakouts. And the pimple patches that touted themselves as basically invisible were — but so were any results. While the Hero Cosmetics pimple patches are a little more visible (but really only noticeable if someone was standing really close to my face), the results are clear to see. (And JSYK, they also make an invisible version, but I have not tried it.)
IMO they work best on whiteheads, drawing out the pus and preventing me from picking. Once all the fluids are drained (yum!), I plop a patch on what was once home to a very angry whitehead and replace it twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). In my experience, that has been the best treatment for preventing really noticeable hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, which my skin is really prone to after breakouts."

The lights are waterproof, have eight light settings controlled by a remote, and can be used indoors or outdoors. Layer the light strings with sheer curtains to create a cozy haven. And BTW, some reviewers noted that these curtains can be tricky to hang up by yourself because the lights get tangled, but many shared a hack: Don't untie the long lights from each other until you've already hung up the curtain.

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with this bottle! It keeps my ice water cold for several hours. The outside doesn’t sweat. Easy carry handle and other lid options available for purchase. Nice color selection; true to color. The storage compartment is what I found pretty impressive; much larger than I thought it would be. I’ll be using mine mainly for dog walking. Just to give you an idea of the size of the storage compartment; I was able to fit five potty bags, my keys and a few dog treats. I still had a bit of room left. I found the top part to be plenty big and I drink a lot of water. The wide mouth is great for adding ice easily." —D.B.

Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Cant wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

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: $3.99 for the two-pack of eggs and $4.79 for the shampoo.
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." —Justine E.
