1. A leave-in conditioner that'll detangle hair, reduce frizz, restore curls, and more so you can get out the door faster. It's designed for kids, but adults love using it too!
Promising reviews: "The BEST for tangles! I’m on my third bottle used on my three-year-old and my own hair. Her hair is so tangled when she wakes up and combing it dry makes it frizzy. This stuff smells amazing and keeps her hair shiny, soft and makes her slightly curly hair just pop with beautiful curls. What a great product at an affordable price!" —Drew
"Possibly some sort of bottled witchcraft. I've tried so many products for my frizzy, scattered 3A curls, so I didn't have too much hope for this, but YIKES! This gave my curls definition and kept them soft and spirally throughout a full day. The smell isn't my favorite, but it's mild enough to not be bothersome. It's hard to beat this price, too. I highly recommend this!" —Mmlissa
Get it from Amazon for $9.69 (also available as a pack of two).
2. A set of wireless Bluetooth earbuds with over 220,000 5-star ratings — many of which argue that they're comparable to AirPods, with the added bonus of being completely waterproof (you can wear them in the shower!). Plus, they come with a variety of different sized silicone earbuds so you can find the perfect fit.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising reviews: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold
"I hate the Apple headphones because they never stay in my ears. These have amazing sound quality and are super discreet. My husband now wants a pair after using mine!" —shelby zuccarini
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
3. An under-$6 jar of the Pink Stuff paste, which has reached cult-favorite status for being great at removing stains, rust, discoloration, and other stubborn marks from metal, ceramic tiles, saucepans, barbecues, and much more without leaving behind any scratches!
Promising review: "I’m a believer. Finally got around to trying this stuff. Lived up to the hype, really a “miracle” paste in so far as it is effective at cleaning many things. So far I’ve used it to clean my stove, stainless kitchen sink, and shower (doors and all) and it worked. Also got rid of a deep stain on my kitchen counter that Clorox wipe couldn’t get out. Picked up so much dirt the microfiber towels I used got thrown away, I couldn’t see them being cleaned well enough to reuse. Seriously thinking about ditching all my other kitchen/bathroom cleaners and just using this because so far it seems to do it all. And it’s not wildly expensive either. They’ve got another fan in me!" —sunsean
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
4. A set of three hydrating lip sleeping masks reviewers say are a less expensive option to Laneige lip sleeping masks, but *just* as effective. They're great for keeping your lips soft and moisturized even when the air around you is as dry as a desert.
Promising review: "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four combos).
5. A pair of under-$18 round circle sunglasses that reviewers say look and feel like ones by *way* more expensive high-end brands.
Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat em! These look amazing on my face like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried multiple pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas. I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were 6 stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in nine colors).
6. A painless mint-flavored Venus teeth-whitening pen — they'll give you quick results with just 30 seconds (!) of daily use. Even *years* of stains from things like coffee, tea, wine, smoking, soda, and more are no match for this thing. Plus, they're way more effective *and* less expensive than higher-priced solutions!
Promising reviews: "Super easy & affordable! These pens are so much easier for me than wearing the teeth whitening trays. Teeth are something you cannot hide so if your teeth are yellowing, you end up smiling less and feel self-conscious. Usually anything that involves dental care is so expensive but not this time. The pens are totally affordable and require very little effort to use.
At night when I'm getting ready for bed I brush my teeth and and then brush on the whitening gel. By the time I finish taking off my make-up, wash my face, moisturizes and get into my pajamas the gel has already done its magic and I can just go to bed. I don't have to hassle with any whitening trays and because it is easy to use I have been more consistent. Consistency leads to results! And since the pens are so budget-friendly you can't go wrong giving them a try. Totally worth the $20 investment!" —Rachael
"I have used other teeth whitening products in the past that were more expensive and this product was better. Easy to use and could tell the difference immediately. I will buy this whitening again and would highly recommend it." — Ryan Dunn
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in larger multipacks).
7. A luxuriously soft loungewear set a LOT of reviewers claim are comparable to Skims! If you wanna lounge in high end-feeling comfort, but *without* high-end prices — I suggest you give this a try.
Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $51.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).
8. A splurge-worthy Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner that's less expensive than other popular cleaners but does just as impressive of a job removing tough pet stains thanks to its super strong spray and suction capabilities.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising reviews: "My only regret is not buying this years ago. I have four kids plus cats and dogs, and this thing is a lifesaver. I wish I had bought this sooner — it would have made my life so much easier. Kid vomits in your car? Cat pees on your new bathroom mat? Not to worry. Totally cleaned up in under five minutes. It’s easy to use. It works super well. The cord is really long, and cleaning it out is simple. Can’t beat the price. This is one of the best purchases I made this year." —Sara
"Nice suction, size, capacity. Great for the price. Worked great! So satisfying seeing the dirt in the water...knowing is no longer on the furniture! Strong enough to justify its price. A perfect alternative to the very expensive ones. Easy to move around. Tank lasts enough for a 20–25-minute cleaning session... My eight year old old boy loves helping mom cleaning the sofa and bed with it. " —VRC
Get it from Amazon for $114.99.
9. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper — it's here to simplify your meal prepping and can often stand in for pricier food processors! Forget chopping your veggies one by one and having to clean a cutting board when you can just toss 'em in this device. And when you're done, just pop out the interchangeable blades and throw 'em in the dishwasher!
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: "Surprisingly, this is a wonderful, sturdy kitchen tool. I bought it to use with onions but it works wonderfully with just about any veggie and fruit. My family loves chili, soups and stews this time of year. This cut the job of preparing to less than a third. It works on just about any veggie but beware the size. If you are cutting a really hard veggie, use smaller pieces for the machine. I would buy it again. It has actually taken the place of my much more expensive food processor. I wish I could return the much more expensive food processor, this does everything I wanted a food processor for." —E. M. Brooks
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
10. A bottle of Elizavecca Collagen-Coating Hair Treatment, a less pricey altrnative to Olaplex that'll magically bring your damaged hair back to life with all the body and silky softness you could possibly dream of! Even skeptical reviewers were amazed at how well it works.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising reviewS: "I'm smitten! I bleach my hair and it's very overprocessed. This product is amazing. My hair is soft, tangle free and smells great. I only shampoo once a week, but use this 3 times a week. Just massage it in and rinse out after I finish my shower. It doesn't build up and it's not heavy. I can feel the elasticity coming back in my hair!!! You won't regret using this, it outperforms the most expensive of treatments. " —les58
"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

11. A jewelry-cleaning stick with a cleansing solution and fine brush designed to be able to clean out the tough-to-reach nooks and crannies of your jewelry so they can sparkle and shine like the day they were born!
Promising review: "I use this to clean my engagement ring every week — sometimes every two weeks so I can REALLY see the difference, lol. It does a better job than the expensive liquid cleaner I bought from a high-end jeweler and it’s much easier and faster to use. Can’t recommend enough!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
12. A bottle of natural CND Essentials nail and cuticle repair oil that's less expensive than other brands, but lots of reviewers say does an even better job of softening cuticles and strengthening nails when used daily.
Promising reviews: "My nails were horrible! They were peeling at least 1/4" from the edge back. I tried so many other products that I had just about given up. Then I read the reviews on CND Solar Oil. It was yet another promise of healthy nails. Not expecting much, I decided to purchased my first bottle. Within the first week my nails looked healthier. I am not much for nail polish especially with short nails, so I have left my nails bare. I continued to buff shine the pealing areas and by the next week the peeling had stopped completely. My nails look great; they are still very short because of the previous peeling but I can see healthy nail growth for the first time in years. It's simple to apply and less expensive than many of the other products. I am extremely happy with the results. Highly recommended." —dch0708
"Only one I will ever use again. I have tried several cuticle oils and they ARE NOT the same. This is the only one that works and absorbs into my cuticles and nail beds. I will never buy another. I learned my lesson, stick to what works. Some of the others were more than twice the price but didn't work at all!" —Irish White Dove
"I've used this Solar Oil for several months now and love it! I removed my acrylics that I'd had for years and used this at least 3 times a day for about a month and now once daily for upkeep. My natural nails have never looked so good! This price is great because my local nail salon sells it for $17 per bottle." —Ang
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four sizes).
13. A set of Keurig cleaning cups if your machine is getting grimy and making your brew taste kinda funky. Simply pop one of these cups into your Keurig just like you're making a normal cup of coffee. Then, all you have to do is brew one large cycle with the cleaner pod, and one or more with just water (depending on how dirty it is in there), and you're done! Before you go replacing the whole thing, give these a try first!
In the reviewer image above on the right, the first cup is after running the cleaning pod (GROSS!) and then the cup on the right is after three rinse cycles!
Promising reviews: "These are so easy to use, and are so well priced, you might think they couldn't possibly work well - but they DO!! Seeing what comes out of your machine is sort of gross but the improvement in the flavor of the coffee is worth it! I did three rinses after using the cleaning pod, instead of the one the box calls for, and couldn't detect any strange residual taste." —Mel F
"I'm impressed. My Keurig was to the point that I almost ordered a new one to replace it. I tried cleaning but didn't help. So, I saw these on Amazon and figured for such a nominal low price, I couldn't go wrong. I ordered the product, used as per instruction, and my pot is back to near-new status. Thanks, love it." —Henry D.
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a pack of 12 and 18).
14. Some Zombie Pack wash-off face masks lots of reviewers compare to the much more expensive and trendy Hanacure treatment, thanks to its almost ~supernatural~ lifting, hydrating, brightening, and pore-tightening abilities. The results are so good, you won't even mind that wearing the wash-off face mask makes you slightly resemble...the undead.
Promising review: "I've used Hanacure for a while, bit they are so expensive, I just can't bring myself to buy them anymore. I ran across these and was so excited to try them! It does have a funky smell, reminds me of perm solution, but they worked excellent. My skin was very soft afterwards, and my pores looked way smaller. But I see absolutely no difference in the after effects of this mask and Hanacure. The only difference is the huge price tag Hanacure carries. Definitely worth the money!!" —K. Bell
Get a set of eight masks from Amazon for $25.
15. A wood polish and conditioner with beeswax and orange oil — it'll impressively hide those dings and scratches making your floors, doors, furniture, and other wood surfaces look old and dingy. Now you can put off replacing them and save some $$$!
Promising review: "I did not take a 'before' picture but should have! My cabinets are 44 years old. They were in such an ugly state. I cannot afford to replace them and am afraid to paint them. This product works MIRACLES!! My cabinets look so much better! It's ridiculous the change this made! I did have to go over the super grungy parts more than once, but the result is WAY worth it!! And the price is so reasonable. A little goes a long long way too!" —K.O.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
16. A reasonably-priced pumice stone toilet bowl scrubber that makes removing stubborn stains — no one's favorite job to begin with — a heck of a lot faster and easier so you can spend as little time face-to-face with your throne as humanly possible. It also works great on tubs, sinks, tile, and other porcelain and ceramic surfaces that are no fun to clean without this helpful tool.
Check out the pumice stone in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "My husband and I just moved into an older house that has its fair share of rust stains — including one of the worst looking toilets I’ve ever seen. I didn’t think anything would work (we’ve tried all the tricks, including expensive products that didn’t make a dent). I ordered this off of a BuzzFeed list and didn’t expect it to work — 30 minutes of scrubbing and our toilet looks brand-new. Plus, the handle means better control and less hands in toilet water LOL. 10/10 recommend!." —Jennifer S.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as a pack of two or four).
17. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer (over 27,000 5-star ratings!) because it surpasses even more expensive brands at giving you a smoothing layer to help your makeup go on a whole lot more evenly. Simply apply a thin layer, wait 30 seconds for it to absorb, and apply your foundation!
Promising reviews: "Highly recommend. Learned about it as several influencers used it on TikTok. Tried it and it’s my favorite. Better than all the expensive brands I had tried before. Smooth application and does an excellent job! Excellent" —Binnyx1
"I have tried many different primers and even those from expensive beauty brands that people seem to like simply do not work for me. They all seem to visibly sit on top of my skin and the foundation ends up looking weirdly dry and flaky. This is the only primer that doesn’t do that. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and is a perfect foundation for your foundation." —yes/no/maybe
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
18. A powerful Renpho percussion massager designed to give you a deep tissue massage to help relax tight muscles and break up knots. It's great after a long workout when your muscles are crying out for help, but it can also be used for daily relaxation and to target joint soreness, muscle tension, and other pains.
Check out a TikTok of the massager in action.
Promising review: "This massage gun is well worth its price! I have used all of its attachments. It is easy to use, comfortable on your muscles and most importantly, extremely effective!! I have used a different massage gun in the past. This one is much more superior!! I would say it is the same grade quality as a professional massage gun but much less expensive! I am very grateful for this product!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (get this price by clipping the $5 off coupon on the product page).
19. A reasonably-priced firming eye cream that uses vitamins and organic botanicals to rejuvenate the delicate area around your eyes. It works to improve dark circles, puffiness, loss of firmness, sagging skin, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and dryness, leaving you with brighter, firmer, hydrated skin *without* irritation!
Promising review: "I am super stoked that I purchased this product because it works, I was leery about it working but it does. I have used expensive eye creams that claimed to work which they did to some extent but not like this one. I started using this about two weeks ago but I started seeing results in a couple of days of the first application. It makes my eyes look awake and the fine lines and wrinkles are diminishing. It makes my skin feel smooth and I can put my eye makeup on easier, my dark circles are lighter too. It has an almost light to no scent which is good because I have somewhat sensitive skin, and have not experienced any reaction. The bottle allows just the right amount to be dispensed so I don't have to worry about too much coming out." —Marquis
Get it from Amazon for $16.83+ (available in three sizes and as a pack of two).
20. A jar-opening gadget you can attach under your cabinets to give ya a helping hand with those jars that just do *not* want to open. Now, there's nothing standing in between you and your pickles, which is the way it should be!
Promising reviews: "A short while ago, my wife and I both struggled to open a new bottle of pickles. I couldn't believe how tight the lid was. We tried rubber grippers which didn't work and then I banged on the lid quite a bit before I finally got it opened. This prompted me to look for something better to open jars. I did some research and found that the EZ Off Jar Opener was highly rated but not ridiculously expensive like some of the other top-rated openers. I ordered the EZ Off Jar Opener and am glad I did. It was easy to install and it works great. My wife loves it and so do I." —cat lover
"Works much better than more expensive openers." —skippysmomAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.52 when you clip the 15% off coupon before checkout .
21. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that's basically the equivalent of getting a pedicure in your own home. This stuff'll quickly get rid of YEARS worth of calluses that you thought were just part of your feet forever. Not anymore!
Promising reviews: "This product is AMAZING! I’ve suffered from a dry cracked heel for years. And for those who have this problem you know it can be very PAINFUL. I’ve tried every cream otc and prescription. Cost me a lot of money. I didn’t think this would work because the price was so reasonable. But out of desperation I ordered it. Boy was I impressed. It repaired my heel on the first try. Wish I found this product years ago. Would have relieved unwanted pain and saved me a lot of money." —Tyra Lee
"I was skeptical about the product because I’ve tried so many. This stuff is awesome. You just put it on and I use one of those cheese grater things and the dead skin comes right off. It’s the best thing I’ve ever used and so much less expensive than a pedicure." —Bizzy and Max
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because who wants to spend time loading up the dishwasher only for it to present you with dishes that are STILL dirty?? No thank you. Simply pop these tabs in and let them deep clean your dishwasher for you so it'll do a better job.
These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review: "I love, love, love this product. My Bosch dishwasher looks brand new again. I used to buy expensive products to clean the inside of my dishwasher, but they were very inferior to this product. This will be my dishwasher beautifier from now on. Buy with confidence, it's worth a try." —schanna
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
23. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches that cover blemishes so you can stop picking and touching pimples on your face. Place one of these babies on a zit overnight and let it lift all the gunk out. No more popping or squeezing breakouts whenever your skin is inflamed or using a ton of products to get rid of them.
Promising reviews: "Pretty much the greatest enemy your pimples will ever have. These patches are fantastic and I wish I'd discovered them sooner. They suck the gross life juice out of pimples and help them heal more quickly and cleanly; they've probably cut the life of most of my pimples in half at least. They are also a great way to keep myself from picking, a bad habit which only makes pimples worse. They are very easy to use and, in my opinion, a great low-cost option. The one thing I will say: I have found they only work successfully on pimples with heads. Any big nodules that don't have a discernible head aren't likely to be affected by these. Still, I recommend these to everyone who ever complains about an annoying pimple!" —Jen Kenworthy
"I absolutely love these. They consistently work and are worth the price. I have tried more expensive ones that do not work as well." —Paiton Martin
Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
24. A "flossing toothbrush" some reviewers say does an even better job than pricier electric brushes! It's great for anyone (kids *and* adults) who hate flossing and will do anything to avoid it. This toothbrush has a second layer of bristles that are longer and 10 times thinner so they can get between teeth and function like floss while you brush for an extra deep clean. Reviewers also note that this toothbrush is great for people with sensitive teeth when used gently!
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
BuzzFeed shopping writer Emma Lord owns this toothbrush and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it:
"I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."
Promising review: "A thorough cleaning. This toothbrush cleans my teeth better than my expensive electric one. You actually feel the bristles scrubbing between your gums!" —Shiva H.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99.
25. An affordable, reviewer-beloved robot vacuum that's cheaper than a Roomba, but just as good if not *better* according to reviewers! It'll actually do an amazing job deep cleaning your floor, fitting into tight corners and small spaces, and avoiding bumping into things or falling off ledges. Plus, it automatically recharges itself, and you can schedule it via remote control! Now you can take "vacuuming" off your to-do list.
Promising review: "This robo vac is the real deal. I bought one for my Mom for Christmas and bought one for myself afterward. It works as good, if not better, than the Roomba I had for a cheaper price! It picks up great and the slim size allows it to fit underneath a lot of unreachable places. My daughter, my cats, and I all shed a lot — not a problem anymore. The suction is really impressive and it’s picked up things a regular sweeper would have problems with. I honestly have no complaints at all on the Eufy boost IQ. You won’t regret buying this one!" —Lisa M.
Get it from Amazon for $139.99.
26. L'Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar to give your hair the moisture, shine, and silkiness it's missing, with instant results visible after the first use. Use it on wet hair after shampoo for healthier-looking locks and a weightless feel that takes a mere *eight seconds* to achieve! Plus, reviewers say the results are similar to Redken's Lamellar Water for less than half the price!
Promising review: "I finished the Redken's Lamellar Water and went right to this L'Oreal product and there is no difference. Great for repairing bleach/color treated hair. Instantly makes my fine hair soft and smooth and much easier to comb through after showering. I use in between shampoo and conditioner and love it. It's a hair game changer." —anonymous87
