    Literally Just 32 Products With The Best Before-And-After Photos I've Ever Seen

    These products have results that will literally, not figuratively, water your crops, clear your skin, and so much more.

    1. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle, a cruelty-free formula you can use in most any carpet cleaning machine to battle stains made by humans and pets alike. Your dog isn't the only one who sometimes has accidents, though yours are less the bathroom variety and more the spilling-a-full-glass-of-Merlot variety.

    It's from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!

    Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (or Subscribe & Save for $18.97).

    2. Hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free makeup brush-cleaning "shampoo" to have your beloved brushes suds-enly looking like new.

    3. Salicylic acid wart-removing adhesive bandages that are discreet enough to look like they're just covering up a paper cut or scratch, but are actually busy working their magic to remove even the most stubborn bumps.

    A set of four reviewer pictures: The wart turned white, the ward even whiter and starting to rise, the ward starting to separate, and the wart peeling off

    4. Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, a beeswax and orange oil formula that's basically like a spa treatment for your wood surfaces. In addition to polishing, it adds a protective layer and helps prevent the wood from drying out or fading.

    5. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to banish bad breath and gross buildup so effectively, it'll leave you (clean) tongue-tied.

    6. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes, which might be the closest you'll get to the green thumb you've always wished you had. Just stick these guys into your plant pot every few weeks so you can keep your foliage friends alive and perky — or even revive a plant you thought was long gone.

    7. A 20-pack of multi-surface eraser sponges that may not be the name brand, but do not mess around when it comes to messes. Like in the pics below, I imagine the sponge saying (if sponges could talk, that is) "Ha! You call yourself PERMANENT marker? We'll see about that."

    8. A bottle of anti-dandruff shampoo to stop you from being a flaky friend, once and for all.

    9. Or Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo, because your dry, flaky scalp is craving the same exfoliating scrub treatment you give your face.

    10. A massive foot file over 9,000 reviewers think is up to the equally massive task of rescuing your crusty tootsies. I hope you stocked up on sandals and mules for this summer, because you're gonna want to show off your baby-smooth heels.

    Promising review: "I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it!!! In less than five minutes all of the dry, dead skin came off. It didn’t hurt and I didn’t need expensive paraffin treatments or foot soaks. I can’t believe I’ve struggled with dry heels for so long! Can’t express how amazing it feels to have smooth heels. Easy to use and quick!" —Teacher Mom

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    11. A miraculous diamond cleaning stick precise enough to clean every every last corner of your most prized gems and get them to shine as bright as Rihanna said they would.

    12. O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream, the ultimate savior for cracked knuckles (be they from working outdoors or just washing your hands constantly) that over 7,000 Amazon reviewers swear by.

    13. A marvelous sink cleaner to polish all sorts of sink surfaces, from porcelain to acrylic to granite, and help eliminate stains and scuffs you had been getting the ~sinking~ feeling you were just gonna have to live with.

    14. Humane Acne Wash, a strong benzoyl peroxide cleanser that's totally vegan-friendly — the only thing it's cruel to is acne.

    15. Natural, cleansing, and odor-eliminating Bottle Bright tablets to make one of your least favorite chores — cleaning out your gross water bottle — unbelievably easy.

    16. A super effective and hygienic toilet cleaning wand with removable antibacterial, deodorizing heads for the cleanest latrine you've ever seen.

    17. Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle Serum, which is perfect for folks who want long nails but aren't long on patience.

    18. A Bevel safety razor that can give a super-close, bump-free shave on anything from your face to your body to your head, but is specially designed to be extra great for thick, curly hair.

    19. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which has everything you need to ensure that those stains on your smooth-top range will be ~cooked~.

    20. Possibly magical pimple patches that'll make zits do a vanishing act, and allow you to see the oh-so-satisfying amount of gunk they've pulled from your pores. No wonder they've got over 3,000 positive reviews!

    21. NYX matte finish setting spray, an amazingly affordable spritz that over 4,000 reviewers swear by for seriously locking in their makeup ~lewks~. I'm talking all dang day, people!!!

    22. A hairbrush cleaning tool for anyone who, like me, becomes disgusted by hair the second it is no longer attached to a head and always procrastinates cleaning buildup from their brushes so they don't have to — *gasp* — touch it. This thing is willing to deal with that grossness for you.

    23.  Briogeo Curl Charisma Coil Custard, a vegan, cruelty-free, and six-common-chemical-free formula made with chia and flax seed oils and shea butter to give you hydrated, defined, and fabulous curls.

    The results above were achieved by using this stuff with the rest of the brand's Curl Charisma collection!

    Promising review: "I cannot begin to count the number of gels and curl creams I have tried. None compare to what this does for my kinky-coily hair. I have 4a/b hair and this leaves my hair defined, moisturized, and touchable. I can go days without redoing my wash and go by just spraying with water and adding a dab more Curl Charisma Custard. I think I got the best results from the start because I clarified my hair, deep conditioned with Don’t Despair, Repair and then used this. Magic. Never going back to anything else. Do not change this formula!" —Kimberly Yvette Robinson

    Get it from Amazon for $26.

    24. An amazing leather and suede cleaning brush you'll be easily ~suede~ to buy once you peep pics of the results.

    25. Pumie Toilet Bowl Ring Remover, a pumice stone with a handy handle sure to produce results that'll bowl you over.

    26. Amazing dishwasher cleaning tablets that are septic-safe and made for busting mineral buildup and odors. After all, how do you expect a machine that's dirty to clean your dishes?

    27. The Makeup Eraser, a magical plush cloth that can remove EVERY LAST DROP of makeup with just water. One side is made for removing product and the other for exfoliating, and you can wash and reuse it over and over and over. Remind me why you spent so much money on other cleansers and removers again?

    28. Glossier Boy Brow, a hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, paraben-free brow shaping and filling gel that several of my coworkers LITERALLY never stop talking about.

    Anamaria Glavan / BuzzFeed, Glossier

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor AnaMaria Glavan is particularly obsessed with it. She writes, "The precision that is required to literally draw in an eyebrow is a feat of Da Vinci proportions — and no, I’m not being overdramatic. I have tried to use pencil brow liners and it looked like a 3-year-old drew on my face. But dilemma time: when I put on my foundation, I feel like my eyebrows blend into my skin. So what should a girl who cannot color inside the lines of her brows do? Here’s what I needed: an eyebrow filler that would very lightly enhance my eyebrows (I prefer a natural-looking makeup routine), act like gel for all the unruly hairs that live above my eyes, and have a brusher application that would make the ordeal an easy one. No pencils. Step in Boy Brow, a cult-favorite that is loved by everyone and their Insta-famous mothers. But believe the hype: this magic bottle is proof that not all heroes wear capes. The creamy formula, which comes in blond, black, clear, and brown (which is what I used!), goes on smoothly and doesn’t require a lot of product to do the job. One coat was more than enough! My facial caterpillars have never looked better."  Check out her full Boy Brow review (#5).

    Get it from Glossier for $16 (available in five shades).

    29. A special pill-removing, pumice-esque stone in case you thought that your old favorite, pill-covered sweater was officially out of commission. You'll be happy to be proved wrong.

    30. Black Diamond Ultimate Grout Cleaner to restore your grout to a color that you didn't even know it was supposed to be.

    The reviewer above says they got these amazing results by using the product with a steam cleaner!

    Promising review: "I knew my grout was dirty but I didn't realize how disgusting it was until I used this cleaner. It arrived yesterday and I decided to test a small area to see how well it worked. Sprayed on and waited three minutes. I then used a brush to agitate the dirt in the grout, which was much easier than I expected it to be. I thought I was going to have to scrub hard; instead, it was a very simple back and forth motion and the dirt immediately came loose and out of the grout. I then used a very wet dish towel to clean up the cleaner and dirt. The results were significantly better than I anticipated. I'm buying more to finish my entire home." —FatherOf4

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98.

    31. An amazing dark spot correcting cream people swear by for fading acne and shaving scars, and that can even help with hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Basically, it's a jar of pure magic.

    It's from a cruelty-free, Latina-owned skincare brand!

    Promising review: "The Dark Spot Correcting Cream was the first product I tried from this amazing skincare line. It works very effectively to fade dark spots on your body. I have had great success with it on my face (acne marks) and bikini line and I find that due to its gentle potency, a little goes a long way. I cannot do without this product, a powerhouse in my skincare arsenal." —Valeria Gago

    Get it from Skinergy Beauty for $54.99.

    32. Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink liquid lipstick, which is not one of those products that's content to just pay ~lip service~ and claim it'll last all day. This stuff actually will — and no one will believe you when you say you didn't reapply.

    Read one BuzzFeeder's rave review of Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink (#1).

    Promising review: "'SuperStay' is right. The top is right after application, and the bottom is after eight hours and two meals, with no touch-ups (the color is 'Ruler'). It stays on amazingly well. It easily survives a day of work/class. It's not particularly drying either, though I have had to scrub it pretty well with a washcloth in the shower to get it off. Still, it's more than worth it to me to not have to worry about my lipstick all day, even after meals. I'll definitely be buying more in different colors. This has become my go-to lipstick." —kclareq

    Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (or $6.31+ with the Subscribe & Save option; available in 45 colors).
