    Get Ready To Crush The Second Half Of 2023 With These 36 Problem-Solving Products

    They had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie, but then this Peter Thomas Roth under-eye tightener came in and saved the day.

    1. A six-pack of powder puffs for contouring with loose powders, foundation, blush, BB creams, and more. These TikTok-viral makeup tools are triangle shaped so they can get all up in those under-eye corners and there's also a little strap so you can strap 'em to your fingers!

    Promising review: "I got these because of Alix Earle on TikTok and they did not disappoint! They make my powder go on so smoothly and make my face look so flawless. Also, they are such great value for the money and I love that they come in pink. I highly recommend!" —Kristen

    Wad-Free is a woman-owned small biz that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions, so she created her own!

    Promising review: "I loved them, I saw them on TikTok. I didn’t like my bedding getting balled up so I thought I'd try it. It’s cost me a lot of money just to dry bedding, like four cycles to get it dry. This product, I absolutely love it, it was well worth my money. I was surprised that with these, it only took one cycle to dry my sheets. Love 'em, wouldn't trade them for the world." —Jordan Dale Pederson

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in a two- or four-pack).

    3. A tiny milk frother so you can always have your favorite coffee-shop-quality drink without having to pay the price or leave home. If you can't get enough of cappuccinos with foamy, yummy creamer on top, you'll love having this handy. Especially when 1 p.m. hits on a winter day and you debate if you should go grab another latte. The answer is yes and all you gotta do is walk over to the kitchen.

    Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and it makes your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly. If you’re on the fence I’d say 'what are you waiting for?' Buy it already!" —Denise

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 45 colors).

    4. A silicone scooper for all the holiday baking you'll have to do come wintertime. You'll be able to deposit the batter into the little liners easy peasy and with less mess.

    Promising reviews: "Saw a video of this product on TikTok and knew I had to get it for our kitchen! Makes it a breeze to fill muffin liners!!" —Amazon Customer

    "I can’t say enough good things about this little tool! It changed my cupcake game forever! No mess and uniform sized cupcakes every time." —Jillip

    Get it from Amazon for $9.33+ (available in two colors).

    5. A jar of the TikTok famous Pink Stuff that's totally worth ALL the hype and will so come in handy if holidays are at your house this year. My jaw is quite LITERALLY on the floor every time I scroll on TikTok and see this stuff in action. This paste plays no games when it's time to get tidy.

    Tough on grease and stains on almost any surface, leaves no scratches, and it's vegan! 

    Promising review: "I saw someone using this on TikTok and I was skeptical at first, but for $7 I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" —Savannah Martin

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    6. A copy of Burn After Writing for some much-needed second half of the year self-reflecting time. Learn new things about yourself and let other things go by writing it down, then lighting that sucker on fire. Seems so freeing.

    Its got some super thought provoking prompts such as: "baggage I'm carrying," "a letter to my future self," "I was most happy when," and a confession page. The journal allows you to be completely honest with yourself without the pressure of everyone watching since so many things are shared now through social media. It'll help you reconnect with yourself and once you let it all out, you can keep it, throw it out, or burn it.

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    7. piggy bank solely dedicated to traveling since you've gotta go back home for Thanksgiving. Because it's transparent, you can see how much you're saving, so might as well throw spare change in it every time you pass it and get excited as you watch it fill up.

    This also comes with two scrunchies. So, I bet you're thinking *how does this baby work?* Start with slightly damp hair. Position the curling rod to the middle of your head and wind one side of your hair around the curler. Once you get the end of your hair, secure it with scrunchies and do the same on the other side. Take it out the next morning and enjoy your voluminous, gorgeous curls!

    Promising review: "Omg, so I figured there was no way this could work on my thick, long hair — I’ve struggled with curling irons, flat irons, and hair curlers my whole life. I was shocked at how simple, easy, and comfortable this solution is! I put the set in Sunday night before bed, my hair that was at least 95% dry. I took it out at the last possible moment Monday morning, and the curls lasted all day! My hair stays curly/wavy for three days after, too. Highly recommend to all the doubters — I was once one too!" —Alissa

    Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in three colors).

    9. A "flossing toothbrush" so at your six-month cleaning in December you can impress your dentist and they can stop getting on you about flossing.

    Mouthwatchers is a small biz 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. 

    Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N.

    10. Kiss Falscara lash kit for some DIY lashes at home that are waaaay less money and waaaay less time-consuming than getting lash extensions in a salon. Eyelash extensions are like, the price of your car note, so ditch those and get STUNNING lashes that everyone will think you paid hundreds for when you really paid less than $20. No worries! That can be our little secret. 🤫

    This kit comes with 10 little lash pieces, an applicator, and a mascara-like bond and glue. Watch TikTok makeup guru Mikayla Nogueira review and apply these lashes here. You also can grab other premade lash fans and apply those instead if you prefer other styles orrrr take your fave lashes, cut them into sections, and use those! And if you hate lash glue, try these press-on lashes instead!

    Promising review: "I have tried to use falsies in the past but have never had much success. These were SO much easier to use. This is my first time trying them so they’re far from perfectly applied and it’s definitely going to be a while before I can apply them easily, but they look decent even with my sucky application. They also don’t poke or irritate my eye at all. I can go hours at a time forgetting I’m even wearing them because they feel so natural. They also look VERY similar to my $200+ eyelash extensions. I applied the bond to one section of lashes at a time instead of all at once so it wouldn’t dry in between applying the lash clusters and it went pretty well. I did have more luck using my fingers to apply than the tweezers. I’ve only had them on for about five hours so far but none of the clusters have loosened or fallen off. I’m very happy with these. I will definitely continue to wear them and practice applying them!" —Kristan

     Get it from Amazon for $17.57.

    11. A battery-operated fabric shaver to remove the super annoying lint and fuzz on your favorite sweater since sweater weather is up next. Oh, and it's not just for sweaters — use it on socks, sofas, and *most* household fabrics. It's adjustable for a variety of fabrics and has a detachable lint catcher so cleaning it up is easy peasy.

    Promising reviews: "This fabric shaver put a smile on my face! Wow it works like magic and makes my clothes look brand-new. I really love the thoughtful design. Very easy to grab, three settings for different fuzz sizes, and when trying to empty the fuzz collector, collected fuzz stays inside the container and doesn't fall all over the place. That is so clever! I am extremely happy with my purchase!" —Dawn Fellerman

    "I watched TikTok after TikTok before buying this and it has saved many of my clothes that I considered not wearing anymore. For example, sweatpants after a few months of wear and washing get extremely linty. This has saved them and they look almost new. Works perfectly!" —Sasha

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and in a rechargeable version).

    12. Some Shark Tank-approved Little Elf gift wrap cutters so that trying to cut in a straight line doesn't make you wanna throw the roll and your Christmas spirit out the window once the holidays are here. Simply slide this bad boy over one end of the roll, pull the paper through the opening, and gently push it along as it quickly, easily, and ✨flawlessly✨ cuts your gift wrap. Buddy the elf would be so proud.

    Promising review: "After thorough, intensive scrubbing with dish soap, I thought I'd done an ok job on my brushes. FALSE! THIS! This magical, Hogwarts-crafted solution put any soap to shame.

    Promising review: "This was even better than expected. It is thin, which makes it easy to work with and looks more authentic. I tried other wood grain contact paper and it looked cheap. This is a whole damn makeover and I am happy. I still have some leftover if I want to cover other things or redo parts if I want. Peels off with no residue. Easy to fix placement or change mind." —Robyn Franzen

    Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99

    Promising review: "I bought this because I have a cat with a sensitive stomach and in a house with almost all hardwood flooring, he chooses to only throw up in the room with all WHITE carpeting. The carpet had so many stains from futile clean-up attempts, I thought it was ruined. However, I bought this steam cleaner, gave it a try, and the carpet looks brand new!! It was almost fun cleaning up the stains and watching them disappear in seconds. Steamer is super easy to use, very portable, and stores away nicely in my laundry cabinet. Absolutely recommend to anyone ready to give up on their stained carpet." —Amazon Customer

    So, I have one of these and I call it my pajelehoocho. A pajelehoocho? Yeah, anyone ever watch Victorious, the episode where Cat's wearing that thing that's pajamas, a hoodie, leggings, and everything in between. It was the pajelehoocho and this warm little angel product is so cozy it just gave me pajelehoocho vibes. But anyways, one size fits all and this is literally like wearing your favorite warm blanket. I think this was one of my fave gifts I've ever gotten because I'm always cold. Seriously, cannot get through winter without my pajelehoocho. This is the only thing that actually keeps me warm and I'm here to say it's def worth alllll the hype.

    Promising review: " ALL THE STARS!! I'M OBSESSED! Literally THE BEST $40 I’ve spent in YEARS. EVERYONE. MUST. OWN. ONE. Now, I think I need another one in black, mine is so freaking awesome!! I’m training a puppy in the middle of the dead of northern Michigan winter and I don’t ever take the thing off, because I’m inside and outside all day long. I like this better than wearing a jacket. It really truly does make you feel comfy, borderline lazy because I ain’t going to lie, waking up in blankets is so wonderful, it’s easy to go right back to sleep. If I had $$$ I’d gift one to everyone I know. I recently watched a 2020 special where this was found and blown up on Shark Tank. These are the greatest things since sliced bread, especially in places with harsh winters. 10 out of 5 STARS!! I would be shocked if anyone buys this and regrets it. Absolutely phenomenal product and value, big bang for your buck." —Sarah

I bought it for the bags under my eyes and now use it for my whole face because it tightens my pores for a flawless look. I don't know why it isn't being marketed for minimizing pores but this is amazing. My 40-year-old skin looks fresh and youthful like a kid. Definitely worth the $38. You will not be disappointed." —Jessie MaGee

    Promising review: "My shredder broker a while ago and I didn't want to spend a lot of money for another one. I was saving up my personal documents and taking them to my parents' house to shred. I was getting tired of seeing the box of papers in my house then, one night, I was watching some TikTok videos and came across this product. It's a game changer for me. That box of personal documents is gone and I'm a much happier person.

The next two flights were at 49 pounds and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49 but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low cost must have item for air travel." —Robert

I was comfortable not wearing any makeup again, which was really nice. For context, I wash my face daily with a foaming oil control face wash, gentle for the skin, and then, I apply this and let it dry. Then, I apply my regular face moisturizer.

    27. A Shark Tank-approved grocery bag carrier with a soft cushion grip because who the heck wants to take two trips to carry in the groceries? And just think of all the groceries you'll be carrying in for Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving. Throw this over your shoulder and get all your stuff in at once.

    Promising review: "I don't know how I ever went without this product. If you live in a place where you walk/take public transportation everywhere and often carry heavy loads, it is soooo helpful. It's especially great when you have two bags. I can clip one to each end and then sling them over my shoulder. The rubber part keeps them on your shoulder really well and it's so much easier to carry then trying to sling the straps of each bag over your shoulder. I will say this is my second time buying it because the first time the rubber part eventually broke off. I do use them quite a bit and I'm pretty rough with them, so I wasn't totally surprised. Despite the slight lack in durability, it's the best product I found like this and I will keep buying them. I keep one clipped on my bag at all times in case I need to carry things home." —Shellie

    Promising reviews: "Makes my life much easier!! I was washing bottles several times a day and then boiling a huge pot of water to drop them in to sterilize them. This is so much easier. You just put the bottles in, and it sanitizes and dries them for you!! I love the drying aspect, as I was wiping off all the bottles with paper towels every time I washed them. The cycles are either 45 minutes or 65 minutes. Way less time than waiting for a huge pot of water to boil and all the hand drying time! This is definitely worth it!" soozer07

    Promising review: "Best spin shoe. This is my second pair of Tommaso spin shoes; loved the first pair but didn’t realize these had a different clip. Turns out that this new clip is an improvement. Clips in snug and secure giving me more confidence with my aging knees. Would strongly recommend!" —Patricia B. Roe

    30. skin spatula with four different modes that'll deep clean those pores and help extract those blackheads, just like the professionals do. If you're a Dr. Pimple Popper lover, you'll love using this to get all your own gunk out your face.

    Promising review: "I should have taken a before and after picture! I’ve gotten my face extracted professionally and I always wanted a way to do it at home that gave the same results. Once I thought about it, why not buy a similar tool that gets used on me at the spa? It’s cheap and works for the price! I washed and dried my face off then focused on my two trouble areas — nose and chin. My first swipe across my nose on 'cleaning mode' was very satisfying!!! So much gunk came out! It is definitely not as painful as going to get it done professionally and that was what I was always fearful of when I went to get a proper facial extraction. Doesn’t require a lot of pressure at all and gets the job done. Definitely going to be using it once I notice my congestion in my nose and chin are coming back. I recommend 100%!!!" —Cari

    31. A magnetic-dry erase calendar so you can be more organized and stop forgetting things the second half of this year. If you've missed one too many work meetings because you completely forgot, start to write 'em down on this calendar! I mean, you gotta go in the fridge at some point, so you'll always see your plans for the day.

    Promising review: "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. It’s a giant magnet calendar and it’s so flat and perfect. You will need smaller markers to write on it but that’s expected since it’s not much bigger than a real calendar. Still pretty big though, covers a good portion of my freezer. I love this because you access your fridge everyday so you never forget to glance at your calendar and see what’s going on. The top has some empty space for notes and writing the month so I live to decorate it and have some fun. I use this daily, it’s the best." —Melody

    I'm a softie and I'm, like, almost in tears over some of these affirmations, besties. Some included positive messages are: "I freely express myself and this brings me joy," "I am on the right path and I trust that things are moving in my favor," and "I love my life. I love everything and everyone in it." If self-doubt likes to creep up on you, these will help you keep your mind on the positive.

    Promising review: "This is an awesome item! My countertops never provided enough room for large gatherings like Thanksgiving. This cart is perfect. Solid metal frame with quality butcher block top. Sets up in seconds. Great for additional counter space and/or holding serving dishes at table side. It folds to about 5" wide and I store it next to the washing machine in my laundry room. Pull it out when you need it, fold and store it when you don't. Perfect for smaller kitchens when you need occasional prep and/or serving space. I am very satisfied with the quality of this cart and would recommend it." —Mark B.

    36. A handy bento box so you can stop spending all your money on an easy takeout meal the rest of the year. It'll keep your foods separate for anyone who's like the boys from Boyz 'N Motion (That's So Raven) and can't stand when their foods touch. It has three compartments for snacks and salad toppings and a super genius dressing container. No soggy salad over here! 

    Promising review: "Let me tell you how skeptical I was! I brought this to work on a Saturday after filling my salad contents into the compartments. That day I didn’t get around to eating my salad. I got home and put it in the fridge. I forgot about it until Wednesday. I didn’t open it and brought it back to work. I didn’t get to eat it that day either and I never opened the container. I was actually dreading it. Yesterday (Thursday) I finally opened it. I was fearful. Guess what?? EVERYTHING was still crisp and fresh!!! My lettuce was still crunchy and so were my croutons!! It had been almost six days since I opened it from the date I made it! I was shocked!! The portion size is good, except I wish the dressing container was a little bigger. I haven’t used the fork yet. There isn’t really a place to put it but that’s OK because I have portable flatware I use. I really just bought this for the size and all the great reviews. You will love this!!!" —Amazonuser
