    Don’t Just Take My Word For It, Check Out These 43 Products Reviewers Say You *Need*

    I mean come on, if you don't trust me trust the over 150,000 (🤯) people that gave these pillows a 5-star rating…there has to be a good reason.

    1. A set of vacuum seal bags perfect for overpackers (guilty 🙋‍♀️) who just cannot seem to narrow down their clothes selection even when the suitcase literally will not close. With these you can easily shrink down your clothes to a more manageable size…so now you can pack even more stuff LOL.

    Promising reviews: "A must have so you don't have to ask the staff for the vacuum, and the bags are thick and high quality. Highly recommend for traveling saving you a ton of space. Great for at home too but a definite traveling need." —Samantha Garvey

    "If you are moving this is a need! I've used storage bags like these before for a move from New Jersey to Florida and they are perfection to get all of my partner's and my clothes, bedding, and anything else soft. I've recommended them to people in real life when moving and as I am moving again soon had to pick some more up. These bags hold so much I was able to fit an entire season's wardrobe or for another size example two large fluffy comforters." —Cricket Jimenez

    Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five sizes and three quantities).

    2. A pair of Satina high-waisted leggings beloved by reviewers for their buttery soft feel (that description sounds familiar...@ Lululemon 👀) and extremely affordable price (aka $83 cheaper). Get ready for your newest obsession, your closet is about to get a loooot fuller.

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two women's sizes, two lengths, with or without pockets, and 25 colors/patterns).

    If you still aren't sold, check out our full review of the Satina high waist leggings.

    3. A miracle carpet cleaner that works with any carpet cleaning machine to get out those stubborn dirt, pet, and food stains you thought you were going to have to spend the rest of your life staring at.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, specifically in homes with pets. This miracle carpet cleaner is certified cruelty-free and Sunny & Honey donates 10% of all profits to animals in need!

    Promising review: "You got a puppy? Don’t hesitate, you need this! Enzyme cleanser is the best. Gets up the mess & keeps things clean & fresh smelling. I even use in my carpet steamer, works great." —Honest Review

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two quantities).

    4. Or, if you don't have a carpet cleaning machine, a stain and odor eliminator to clean up those tough messes you've already used sooo many products on. Not only will this stuff get rid of the stain, but it will get rid of the smell… Pet stains can be STANKY, iykyk.

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. is a family-owned small business named after the family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.

    Promising review: "My cats for whatever reason always pee on our carpet no matter what I do… they just prefer to pee on the carpet and this is the only solution that keeps my house smelling nice. Eventually I will get hardwood floors but until then. You NEED this stuff." —Amy's Favs

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

    5. An under-cabinet lid opener for anyone who is tired of mustering up all their strength to open a jar of salsa!! Plus, this one is mounted under your cabinet so it's basically invisible and you won't have to worry about having *another* gadget taking up space on your countertop.

    Check out a TikTok of the jar opener in action (or read BuzzFeed's review of the EZ Off Jar Opener). 

    Promising review: "This is a must have jar opener for anyone that has problems with their hands. I cannot live without this opener! Thank goodness I found this. If you don't have someone around to open jars for you, you need this. It's simple easy and pop's those pesky tight lids off quick and easy. Easy under the counter mount." —Nancy

    Get it from Amazon for $18.55+ (also available as a two-pack). 

    6. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer which will help make sure that smokey eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. Your friends are gonna be really jealous when y'all get off the dance floor and they see your perfect makeup compared to theirs that got a weeee bit melty.

    Promising review: "Wear eyeshadow? You need this! I think I have reviewed the this primer last year sometime, but I wanted to do a quick update, as this is now my third order for this primer. I used to use a primer that was very pricey. I found 'Thank Me Later,' read reviews and ordered. This lid primer is such a better performing product than the expensive competitor I used to use, and the price is less than half. I am retired but still do my hair and makeup every day, and I hope to never be without this primer. My shadow goes on so smoothly over the primer (be sure to give it a minute or so to set), and it stays streak- and crease-free all day." —Shirley

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    7. And a long-lasting makeup setting spray that'll protect all your hardwork and prevent it from smudging or fading. 🙌🏼 Honestly the only explanation for this is that it is some magical potion.

    Sephora

    BuzzFeed writer Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "This is personally my absolute favorite setting spray. My skin is soooo so oily some days it looks like I rubbed Popeyes chicken on my face. This spray keeps me matte and keeps my makeup in place ALL 👏 DAY 👏. Like, even after brunch in DC (if you're from DC you know brunch is an all day event) my makeup looks absolutely perfect. You know when you come home from a full day out and you kinda cringe because your makeup has moved all around? Yeah, never happens with this spray. I get home, look in the mirror, and I'm still a baddie!! Nothing has ever worked this well for me, like, this spray really works harder than Kris Jenner, I kid you not. 10/10 recommend."

    Promising review: "You NEED this!!! I can't even describe how awesome this stuff is. It's nothing short of amazing!! I have VERY oily, pretty sensitive skin and a whole lot of allergies. This stuff sets my makeup just fine with no shine (even HOURS later) and no skin irritation. I've seen a significant difference in the amount of time my makeup lasts as well!! Just do yourself the favor and purchase it." —1Loh

    Get it from Sephora for $16+ (available in two sizes).

    8. A pair of Beckham hotel pillows to bring the ultimate fluff and comfort from the hotel to your home, perfect for back, side, or stomach sleepers! Heads up though, you may find yourself ~struggling~ to get out of bed once you have these. Maybe WFH can be WFBed for the foreseeable future...🤔

    Promising review: "Look no further these are the pillows you must get. We ordered the medium and they are by far the best pillows we have ever used in our lives! If you're like us we have bought pillow after pillow after pillow trying to find the one, this is the one! It's not too soft it's not too firm it is absolutely perfect. We both have herniated discs in our necks and needed to find the right pillow. We have tried the bamboo pillows, down, down alternative, and none of those pillows compares to this. Don't have think twice order them! We love the two that we got so much we just ordered another two." —Cynthia Ferdinand

    Get a pair from Amazon for $61.37+ (available in two sizes).

    9. A popular microwave pasta cooker so you can cook dinner while doing a million other things and *not* have to worry about any pots boiling over. Just put some water and dry noodles in this little gadget, push some buttons on a microwave, strain it right from the container, and before you know it you'll be eating the easiest meal of your life.

    Promising review: "If you eat pasta this is a must! I have owned a Fasta Pasta maker for nine years now and it is just a terrific way to cook pasta - all types. If you need to cook for four or more you probably need to use a big pot, but short of that this works incredibly well. Their timing chart is exceptionally accurate, they give excellent measuring instructions, and the entire setup is easy to use and really easy to clean. This is a great example of a great addition to your kitchen!" —D. Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    10. A powerful snail repair cream that may sound a bit off-putting, but it'll help brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, and add plumpness. It uses snail mucin extract and is rich in hyaluronic acid (hydrates) and glycolic acid (stimulates collagen production).

    Promising review: "You need this in your life! I recently bought skin care products but l did not get any results I wanted. Amazon put this as a suggestion and went online to review snail excretion. I want to age naturally and gracefully. l noticed a change immediately. That's why I love Amazon it covers products that you may not hear about. Thank you again!" —Simply me

    Get it from Amazon for $20.

    11. A beloved-by-the-internet detangling brush to get through any of those extra stubborn tangles *without* pulling out all your hair in the process.

    a reviewer holding the brush
    a reviewer showing their curly hair after using the brush

    Promising review: "Do you have hair? Then you need this hairbrush. It’s a miracle worker! I have longish, very thick, very straight, sleek hair that gets tangled and knotted very frequently. I usually just yank the brush through my hair, ripping the knots out and hurting my scalp in the process. I was skeptical about buying this brush, but gave it a chance for the affordable price and good reviews. And I am so glad I did!!! It’s a miracle worker. When my hair is really tangled, it does pull a little, but gets the knots out a lot quicker and easier and with less pain. And when it doesn’t get the knot out on the first try, it at least pulls the knot to the bottom of my hair so I can hold the top of my hair to brush it out without it pulling and hurting my scalp. Sometimes, it feels as if the brush is only brushing the top of my hair, but if I angle it a little, it gets all the way to the scalp. The bristles look sharp, but even if I push hard and get all the way down to my scalp, they don’t painfully scratch me or anything. I recommend this brush to everyone with hair." —Brittney

    Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in five colors).

    12. A wall-mounted toothbrush station so you can keep all the toothbrushes and toothpaste in one place instead of having them scattered all over your counter. Eliminating the mess of rogue globs of toothpaste and lids not screwed on is just an additional perk.

    The two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube. 

    Promising review: "Busy families need this. Holy crap do I love it! You can install two toothpastes, five toothbrushes, fill the top bin with skin tools/scissors etc., and have a toddler swatting/pulling on it and it still doesn't pop off the wall. I love the magnetic cups and the dispensing action that keeps them from using too much. This is seriously a fun and functional product." —GS

    Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors). 

    13. A ChomChom roller to remove all the pet hair that is still on your couch even after you've vacuumed. This little tool works on pretty much any surface — furniture, upholstery, blankets, clothes — and you don't have to worry about constantly ripping off *another* sticky sheet because one quick swipe typically fills it up (at least it does when I try to use them to clean my clothes...).

    Promising review: "I have three cats and it is impossible to keep their hair off of our furniture. I used to vacuum our couch every. single. day. to keep it down and it did only okay as compared to this amazing device. After reading the outstanding reviews, I decided to give it a try. It is incredible. This is the most effective cleaning tool I have ever used for removing pet hair. I truly changed my cleaning habits by making it significantly easier to quickly roll over my furniture and instantly remove all pet hair. Don't even question this purchase if you're a pet owner. You need this item." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    14. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly and painlessly remove allllll your calluses. Reviewers praise this for dissolving dead skin in ~minutes~ so buckle up, your feet are about to be as smooth as a baby's bottom.

    Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

    Promising review: "YOU NEED THIS! I have really rough callused feet, meaning easily 1/2 inch of callus on my heels and big toes, and the entire bottom of my feet have a layer. I used this product on my feet with a pumice...and let me tell you my calluses came off my feet like butter. I soaked my feet, put on a thin layer (because I was worried i would have a reaction since I have sensitive skin — NO REACTION AT ALL!!), let it sit for three minutes, then for five minutes. I used a pumice and then washed it off. I repeated the process twice only on my heels and they are like brand new. I highly recommend this product. 10/10." —Amanda

    Get it from Amazon for $14.49.

    15. Or, a popular foot exfoliant peel that is both horrifying (!) and satisfying. After wearing the booties for an hour, you will watch layers of skin peel away (over the course of five to seven days) from your feet to reveal a smoothness you haven't experienced since you learned to walk. 

    Check out a TikTok of the foot peel in action.

    With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!). 

    Promising review: "Buy this. Buy it right now. You don’t even know how much you need it. Y’all. This thing is a LIFE changer. I’m not even exaggerating. On the morning of the third day, the backs of my ankles started to peel. It’s like this mask only takes off the skin that’s dead already. The reason I say it only takes off the dead skin is that the bottom of my heels peeled off in THICK potato chip chunks, and the tops of my feet peeled off in sheets thinner than paper. It really only takes off the parts that are dead and gross. So the bottom parts of your feet that take the most stress will have the most skin peel off. It took off my dead cuticles, skin between my toes (which felt weirdly incredible), all of it. But I had to go ahead and write this review because my feet feel SO great. Everything feels different on my feet. I can really feel the kitchen floor, the carpet, the inside of my shoes differently. I don’t know if my feet have ever felt this fresh for as long as I can remember. No pedicure on earth can match this feeling. I will be a forever customer of this foot mask. 10/10, I don’t understand why this isn’t on TV because I know so many people with dry feet who will LOVE this when they try it.I know it sounds dramatic y’all, but I’m so stoked to finally have pretty, fresh feeling feet!" —caitlynn lancaster

    Get two pairs from Amazon for $13.51+ (available in two sizes, 11 scents and four quantities). 

    16. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara because IDK about you, but the thought of putting on fake lashes every day sounds like ~a lot~ of work, especially when products like this exist and can give you the same look with so much less effort.

    Promising review: "YOU NEED THIS! This mascara is absolutely amazing!!!! It makes my lashes so long and not clumpy! I don't need to go over a million times either. Two times and my lashes are long and beautiful, and for this price it's a need in your make up routine." —Sandy

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    17. An organic cotton bacon sponge that will save you from using an entire roll of paper towels every time you make bacon. This sponge can absorb up to 10 times (!!) its weight in grease — move over years-old-jar-of-grease, there's a new sheriff in town.

    Green City Living is a small biz based in Denver that specializes in eco-friendly home goods. They donate 2.5% of sales to Climate Emergency Fund, an organization that supports climate activists.

    Not only does this absorb all the grease eliminating the need for paper towels, but it is also reusable so you don't have to worry about throwing these away every time you cook. Just soak it in a little bit of dish soap then throw it in the washing machine.

    Promising review: "Everyone needs one of these. Amazing!" —Jessica Kidd 

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ or from Green City Living on Etsy for $14.99+ (available in six quantities).

    18. A fast-acting air purifier reviewers are loving because of its three filters that trap pet dander, pollen, and odors. No, having a constantly stuffy nose is *not* normal (I learned this waayyy too late into my life).

    The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there are specialized replacement filters you can get to further tackle specific needs like pet dander and air pollutants.

    Promising review: "I have had this a week and it's amazing. I only run it at night in my bedroom. Turn on an hour or so before bed. I went from not being able to breathe in the morning to clear sinuses! I just leased this apartment and thought I was going to have to move!! You need this." —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two colors and two versions).

    19. A pair of drawstring lounge pants that look pprreettttyy similar to a pair of Lululemon pants but much more affordable ($35 vs $118 😳). Dress them up for work, or dress them down to lounge around the house. Either way, just know you'll be wicked comfortable.

    Promising review: "You need these! Great fit, super comfortable with a little stretch. Material is smooth and soft. I’m 5’4” and they hit right at the ankle. I highly recommend these! I ordered one pair, wore them, loved them so much I just ordered four more pairs in other colors!" —S. Holland

    Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 17 colors).

    20. A flexible dish squeegee so you don't have to touch any more soggy sponges with ~questionable~ substances on them. This squeegee is reusable and easily washable, so you can clean your dishes (and counters, and sink, and so much more!) like a pro.

    Promising reviews: "Where has this been all my life?? Get it now!!! Squeegee your countertops! Wipe off dinner plates! Wipe out batter from bowls! You need this!" —SGab

    "Every kitchen sink needs this. Yes, it looks like another gadget. It is. BUT, it works! It is so great for cleaning the bottom of the sink with stuff. Unlike with sponges, that collect everything in them; this scrapes all away and the leaves the sink great." —maryann2h

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    21. An AirFly wireless transmitter because finally someone understands that pretty much nobody has wired headphones anymore and the ones they hand out on the airplane just aren't cutting it. Now you can connect whatever headphones you have via Bluetooth and start your movie marathon — no, we won't judge that you're on your third movie of the flight, what else are you supposed to do?!

    I always get annoyed about the concept of wearing wired headphones that are stuck in my ears for a long flight. I knew the only way I was going to be even reasonably comfortable on my 8-hour journey was if I was wearing my over-the-ear headphones, but of course the problem with that is that they use Bluetooth. Thankfully, I've been writing about this product for awhile so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a try. It is honestly the perfect answer to being able to use your own Bluetooth headphones. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone going on a long flight!!

    Promising review: "You don't know it yet but you need this. A friend recommended this and I decided to try it. It works well in flight. Huge improvement in comfort and sound quality over the airlines headphones. Also used for various tours when traveling. Again far more comfortable than the typical tour listening equipment." —PJ14

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three versions and two colors).

    22. A tube of Tower 28 ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss so you can get the moisture your lips need with the shiny finish you want. The clean formula is created with five nourishing oils to keep your lips feeling nice and hydrated.

    P.S. it's non-sticky too! 

    Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned beauty brand founded by Amy Liu.

    Promising reviews: "Finally found a lip gloss that is worth the hype! I love the sheerness and the color — it’s the perfect 'my lips but better' shade (Coconut). I’m going to try Oat and Pistachio next! You need this!!!!" —mpratt1

    "This is not overhyped AT ALL. This is exactly the right amount of hyped! Probably the best lip gloss formula I’ve ever tried. It really does feel like a lip jelly, not heavy at all, but so hydrating and juicy looking on the lips. Chill (the clear shade) is the only one you need in my opinion, but Cashew is a unique neutral brown gloss that will look awesome in fall/winter months. If you were looking for sign to buy this gloss...GO BUY THIS GLOSS!" —sydddxo

    Get it from Sephora (available in 12 shades) or Tower 28 (available in 13 shades) for $16. 

    23. foot hammock made out of memory foam so you can kick your feet up and pretend like you're flying in business class.

    I recently tried out this hammock on an eight hour flight and it did not disappoint. I am one of those people who has to have my feet up or propped on something or else I just cannot get comfortable. Because of this, I tend to struggle on flights. This completely changed flying for me. Instead of constantly moving around to try to find a comfortable position, I just rest my feet on the hammock and can actually be comfortable. Even though I wasn't able to stretch my legs out straight (thx for no legroom @ Delta), just having this to keep my feet propped off the floor made all the difference. HIGHLY recommend for any long flights.

    Promising review: "If you're flying you need this. Never flying without this again. Helped keep my legs comfortable and elevated." —Karina

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two colors).

    24. A bottle of Blume's meltdown acne oil that will help combat acne-prone skin while still keeping your face moisturized. Use it directly on your face or mix it in with your daily moisturizer and watch your skincare woes disappear. ✨ Don't worry, this is safe for sensitive skin *and* can be worn under your makeup.

    Promising review: "You need this in your life. After being on Accutane for six months and all of my acne clearing up EXCEPT the hormonal acne I get on my cheeks and chin, occasionally I need something that would clear up my skin right away. I started to see results within one week of using Meltdown. My little breakouts were disappearing and I now have no pimples. Just a few drops in your problem areas every morning and night and within weeks your skin will feel glowy and your hormonal acne will be gone! I swear by this stuff and will continue to buy it." —Charlotte S. 

    Get it from Amazon or Blume for $28 (available in two quantities).

    25. A pack of 10 Swedish dishcloths so absorbent (up to 20x their weight) you'll wonder why you ever used regular paper towels. This is a change you can feel good about because not only do they out-perform paper towels, but they are reusable and washable so you can really cut down on your waste!

    The multicolor pack
    Amazon

    Promising review: "You need these. I had to come in and leave a review of my own because these things are AMAZING. You’ve heard best thing since sliced bread? This is what they’re talking about. If you want to save time, skip the review and just buy them now. You’re welcome. They pick up EVERYTHING. It’s more than nice, they do a remarkable job. But more magic comes in when you rinse them. They rinse right off very quickly so you can keep going. They hold the perfect amount of moisture. They can be as wet or dry as the job you’re doing requires. I’m obsessed with them. Throw them in the dishwasher or washer (I don’t put them in the dryer) and they last. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought these as gifts. I have them stashed everywhere. Bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, car! Just try them. These. This brand. These are brilliant. They just are. Never quit making them. I bet there’s a fan club forum somewhere for them like there is the Instant Pot." —madcow

    Get them from Amazon for $15.49+ (available in nine single-color packs or a multicolor pack).

    26. A fabric shaver, because the little pilled up balls of fabric all over your clothes are not it. With a quick swipe you will watch all those balls disappear leaving the item looking fresh and new.

    *If using on clothing, make sure to hold them taut so the shaver doesn't catch and make a hole*

    Promising review: "I love this fuzz buster. I had a tiny one when I was a kid and didn't realize you could still get them. This one is good sized and works perfectly! It will make your sweaters and T-shirts look like new in seconds. It is very easy to use and actually very satisfying. I went through the house looking for clothes that needed to be 'shaved,' ha ha, but really. It takes off all the little fuzz balls and doesn't damage the garment at all. If you wear hoodies or sweatshirts, you need this. 100% love it!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.74+ (available as rechargeable or battery operated and in six colors).

    27. A sheet detangler so you don't have to run your dryer like three times just to have your sheets actually come out dry (can you tell this just happened to me last week?).

    Promising review: "Don't you just hate when your sheets swallow other clothes in the dryer and prevent them from getting dry? Well, here is your answer! I have been putting off this purchase for months, but, I'm pleasantly surprised about how well these work! I probably made up the cost in two loads because I didn't have to run the dryer through three cycles!!! Basically, if you dry sheets in the dryer, you need this! (P.S. for anyone who sews and washes the fabric before you sew with it, this works great for that, too!)" —April Iris McLeod

    The pack comes with over 100 stickers in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can dim anything from the annoying dot of light on your TV to the time on your alarm clock.

    Promising review: "We've used these everywhere now and they're perfect. The idea was to dim the screen on our microwave, but now we've used these on most lights around the house. Our humidifier, the annoying plug in light from the AC unit, the fire alarm, the TV.. the list goes on and on. The lights are significantly dimmer and it does not impede performance at all. These are a lifesaver in a studio space or bedroom! You need this." —M. Vice

    30. A set of bedsheet fasteners so you can stop waking up in the middle of the night frustrated that the fitted sheet isn't staying ~fitted~ to the mattress...AGAIN.

    Promising review: "Do you also have a husband who rolls in his sleep like an elementary school student in the '80s trying to demonstrate how to put out a fire on your clothing? Is your fitted sheet always popping off? Then you need these, my friend! (Seriously though, they are great. No I don’t get paid for advertising them, but I should). My husband hasn’t stopped rolling, but at least my sheet stays on my side now. And that’s something." —D.S. Griswold

    31. An anti-blister balm because there is nothing worse than going out for a long walk just to end up getting another blister on your heel. JK there is — all that PLUS realizing you have to walk all the way back home or to your car. This balm will glide on to prevent friction, stopping a blister from even thinking about making an appearance. 

    Promising review: "You need this in your life. How did I not know this existed?!? I used this at my son’s wedding for my high heels that were new and a smidge tight. It worked like a charm! No blisters, no rubbing and I was able to dance all night blister-free! I won’t be without this product!" —Heidi C.

    Get it from Amazon for $9 (also available in a two-pack).

    32. A reusable headache cap that uses compression and cooling effects to help quickly soothe your headache. They are so comfortable you might even reach for it when you don't have a headache.

    I have this and let me just say wow is it nice. I keep mine in the fridge and I'll grab it if I feel a headache coming on. Sometimes I'll put it on and take a nap and when I wake up the headache is completely gone. I have also used it while working/watching TV and in that case I just don't pull it down all the way so it won't cover my eyes. Honestly I would use this even if I didn't have a headache because it just feels so soothing to have the cool compression on your head. Highly recommend if you are a frequent headache sufferer. 

    Promising review: "If you deal with headaches/migraines, you need this. Straight from the freezer it is a little to cold to put directly on my skin (forehead and eyes), but I can put it on my head and wear it for a few minutes and then pull it down over my eyes. I like that it is without bumps like some cold packs that have gel beads. I was worried that the compression of the cap would aggravate my headache, but it is so smooth and stretchy that it fits snug, but not too tight." —Loriann

    33. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant because even though I promise no one other than you actually notices those little bumps on your arms, you want them gone and all power to ya!! Reviewers with skin conditions like keratosis pilaris swear by this product!

    Promising review: "Listen, if you have KP you need this today. This is a miracle worker. My skin has never felt so smooth. I have tried everything to treat my KP on the back of thighs, arms and butt and nothing worked until I tried this product. It worked within the first few uses. It is grainy like a scrub, so be gentle with it especially if you have sensitive skin like me. I want everyone who suffers from KP to try this product. I am a customer for life." —slandy

    35. bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that will completely eliminate the need for a dustpan. Honestly, good riddance, those things never work anyway…you always have to reposition it a million times. This vacuum will change the way you clean by sucking up all the dirt and dust you've collected.

    Promising review: "Got a hairy pet? You need this! OMG, this thing works amazingly! We have a mastiff, who sheds....a lot. I was sweeping, vacuuming, or dust mopping everyday, several times a day. I would have to get the big vacuum out, use the dust mop, then use the vacuum to clean the dust mop, huge pain. Now, I run the dust mop over the floor, run it in front of this beauty, and the hair is gone! So glad my husband found it and bought it for me, it truly saves so much time." —Lesli

    Promising review: "Yes yes yes! If you have a gemstone, you need this. I’ve been struggling for a year now to keep my morganite ring clean. I’ve always been told to use just soapy warm water. Every week I soak, scrub, repeat. I came across this product on a blog and decided to give it a try. I’ve been staring at it all day now! It’s like it’s the very first day It was slipped on my finger. So easy to use and compact. I’m ordering more to keep a stock! Just buy it. You won’t regret it!" —Jackie Smock

    Promising review: "Ever been on your way to a date, family gathering, or business even and notice that the coffee has hit your enamels pretty hard or that you just might not have brushed your best?

    Promising review: "I started using these last year and have kept reordering since then because I cannot be without these!! These patches have helped me finally stop picking at my skin. Before I couldn't stand a stubborn pimple (or 10) on my face, chin, or neck, and kept trying to fix it by trying to pop them but obviously that only made the situation worse. These are a lifesaver. Now, most of my pimples are gone in one night, the stubborn ones in two, max. I'm not obsessing over it anymore. And the germs aren't spreading and causing more breakouts. I cannot say enough what a huge difference these have made in my overall skin routine. They stay in place all night, all day, or as long as you need. You can easily cut the larger patches into smaller pieces and they work perfectly. You could wear it during the day and put makeup over it if you have to but honestly, I think you can still see it or tell that there is something on the face so just use your best judgment. Everyone needs these!! Do yourself a favor and order a pack, or three." —Allison

    43. A dryer vent cleaning kit to clean alllll the lint that is still stuck in your lint trap that you didn't even know existed (I personally thought the entire point of the lint trap was to prevent this build-up, but apparently not?!).

    The entire set comes with a plastic hose, a Holikme adapter, and a vacuum hose for use with most any vacuum. Plus, a flexible lint brush!

    Promising review: "Every household with appliances and furniture needs one. As a former firefighter, I'm careful about dryer lint. I clean the screen after each load, and twice a year I use a long 'foxtail' brush both inside and outside at the vent. Well, I thought I was careful but this little tool showed me what I was missing. In less than five minutes this removed all the fine, soft 'fluff' that makes it through the screen. The real wake-up call was when the end clogged and I pulled off a chunk of the fluff that was melted together and smelled burnt. Get this. If you think you don't need it because you're already cleaning, you're wrong. Better to come to that realization now than after the fire. And if you don't think you need it because you're not a fan of cleaning-this flat hose slips under appliances and furniture so you can clean without moving them!" —JustMeTalking
