How I've survived without a tongue cleaner or can colander I will never know.
And the coolest part? Just like a real banana, they'll brown over time. The more nastiness they soak up from your shoes, the more brown they'll become, so you'll know when you need to purchase a new pair. Still, one set can last 6-12 months!
Promising review: "I keep my climbing shoes in my car and the stench was literally ruining my life. No matter how much I sprayed Febreze or scrubbed my shoes, nothing helped. This product is a lifesaver!" —KYM22

Promising review: "This is one of those tools that you don't know you need until you actually use one. I'd never used a tongue scraper until my sister introduced me to them. Why would I need one when I use my toothbrush to scrape my tongue, right? Using this tool gets so much grime and grossness out of your mouth and tongue that you didn't even know you had. Your mouth won't feel clean until after you've used it, period." —Katherine

Promising review: "I've used these to cut cardboard, sheets of paper, Amazon packages, and that really annoying, dangerous hard plastic packaging that a lot of products come sealed in. These scissors get your hand out of the way so you don't get cut. They're also more natural and comfortable once you get used to using them. They are sharp, well-built, high quality scissors. I just bought my third pair to keep in different areas!" —AT

Promising review: "These are so fabulous. For a scouring pad so effective, I'm surprised that it does absolutely no damage to the glass top surface of my electric range — absolutely no scratch but plenty of shine. Goes great with the Weiman cleaner as well. If even works with dish detergent to clean the stove top. Can't live without it because I'm a stickler for keeping things maintained and clean." —pleased

Promising review: "If you have a booty, buy some of these!! They fit great, look great, and cover my thighs so they don’t rub, which is a lifesaver walking around in the desert! They also have pockets that go down the leg and hold a phone no problem!" —Kali W.

This wonder is BuzzFeed Reviews' pick for the best mid-price makeup remover!
Promising review: "I LOVE makeup. Specifically, eye makeup. Love a good cat eye and layering eyeshadow. I've always had to bleach my towels to get the remnants of my mascara and eyeliner off. I hate every eye makeup remover that I've tried because it either stings or makes my eyelids oily (y tho?). This thing has seriously changed things for me. It gets my makeup COMPLETELY off in less than one minute without harsh scrubbing. I no longer have to buy any kind of cotton balls or cotton pads that will end up in a landfill. I can actually buy new towels and demote the stained ones to cleaning towels. My skin is clearer because it is makeup-free before I wash it and my eyes no longer burn! GETTTT ITTTT." —Cori A.

You can also use it to moisturize your cuticles!
Promising review: "This stick really does remove makeup mistakes quickly and easily and it does it without leaving an oily mess behind! I don’t know how many times in my life I have managed to mess up my winged eyeliner or gotten mascara on my face or eyelids, and I’m sure most who wear makeup can relate. 😉 Before I had this I used cotton swabs and a little makeup remover to fix the mistakes. That usually just makes things worse, because the remover leaves a film on the skin and you’re almost better off starting over than trying to put makeup on top of where you took it off. With this, swipe it and it’s gone! That easy! I usually still follow up with a cotton swab, but there’s no need — there’s no oil left behind. It’s a twist-up tube in a pencil form; it will last you for-ev-er because you hardly need any to get the job done. I’ve bought a few of these — an extra for myself for work and a couple for my sisters. I’d definitely recommend it others! Plus it’s bright yellow so you can always find it easily in your makeup bag!!" —LMJ

Promising review: "I’ve never used a milk frother! Where has this thing been all my life?! I typically use it with half-and-half and it works great! I also find myself making a lot of hot chocolate and marshmallow drinks. Works beautifully and cleans up easily. It takes up very little room in my cupboard or on my countertop. Great purchase! Great customer service. And I got a pretty metallic blue one to match my kitchen. So pleased!" —Cynthia L. Weisert

One reviewer even said it was perfect for filling in worn shoe soles!
Promising review: "I recently had laminate flooring installed. To my horror, as I was vacuuming, a bottle of wine fell from the wine holder and dinged my new floor. Being a perfectionist I knew that I could not live with the dings, especially with them being in such a visible area. So I called the installer and he said that it would be $200 to fix. I saw this product on Amazon and thought I would give it a try — if it didn't work, then I would pay to have it replaced. Well, to my surprise, this WORKED like a charm!!! I used the mahogany marker and dabbed the area three times until the color matched. I walked away to get my phone to take a pic and when I returned, I literally had to get down on my knees to find the spot. Like I said, I am a PERFECTIONIST and not easily satisfied with DIY fixes, but this proved to the best $9 investment of my life!" —Deevah

Promising review: "This is one of those OMG wonderful products. I have arthritis in my hands and fingers and am amazed by how much better they've been feeling since I began using this handy little roller on them. And because I have multiple sclerosis, I get a lot of nasty nerve pain in my hands and fingers. If you have these types of pain in your hands and/or fingers and like me, you may find yourself rubbing them a lot when they hurt. This just does an even better job of getting to the the pain to help relieve it. I keep it close by so I can use it throughout the day. Since I do art work, play guitar and keyboards, sew, and do a lot of typing on my computer, I need my hands and finger to feel good. Adding this little device to my arsenal of pain fighters is a huge plus! I can't imagine living without it now. It actually feels to use it even when I'm only feeling slight or no pain." —Wilhelmina Zeitgeist

The set includes the brand's Milky Jelly Cleanser (a pH-balanced daily face wash), Priming Moisturizer (which hydrates, plumps, and just generally leaves you glowing), and Balm Dotcom (an antioxidant-rich skin and lip salve available in different flavors and tints).
Promising review: "I was the biggest skeptic of Glossier — I didn't trust the hype. Whenever I do wear makeup, it's a full face, and I don't have a super consistent skincare routine, so I figured this wasn't the company for me. However, I have friends that gave it rave reviews and the curiosity finally got the better of me. I decided to buy the skincare set to inspire me to get more consistent about my skincare routine. I've had this set for about five days now and I am completely shook by how good my skin looks. Acne scars that I thought were a permanent part of my face are fading and my skin feels baby soft! The milky jelly cleanser is one of the only cleansers I've ever used that doesn't make my skin feel tight after. The priming moisturizer goes on smooth and actually decreases the redness in my face. I got the rose balm dot com and I almost cried when I first put it, on it smelled so good. It goes on thick and stays on your lips for a while, and it feels moisturizing without feeling heavy. I immediately order three more in different flavors. I now understand the hype." —Sempervirine

Promising review: "Life-changing little strainer!! Okay, maybe not life-changing, but this thing is awesome! I used to drain my canned tuna or chicken by just squishing the lid down and hoping I didn’t get squirted with stinky water, but now I place this thing in the can and gently press down to drain the water with the utmost confidence that I will not 1) get injured on the can, 2) get splashed with stink water, or 3) lose any tuna out the side. Ahh, it’s the little things. :)" —jaime138

It's non-stick and can make seven different snack-size animals at once!
Promising review: "These waffles brought smiles and giggles to our breakfast table. Our kids are 10.5 and 12, and they really enjoyed the animal shapes and particularly the 'dipping' size of the waffles. And so did my husband and I. The waffle maker is super easy to use, all the faces were clearly imprinted, and I didn't have any issue with cooking time or uneven browning. LOTS of FUN! At $30, why not? Wish we'd had this years ago!" —jchungmd

Promising review: "Dope stuff — my brushes are like new!! After I bought this I literally had a DUH moment for all those brand new e.l.f. brushes I bought when I could have just bought ONE of these...all of my $5 bills, man. My poor life choices aside, this stuff works. It takes five minutes to lather up your brush and rinse. Hella satisfying to watch the dried-on concealer go away (this alone justifies the cost of this, my tactile people you know what it is). Also, gotta love a cruelty-free, vegan product!" —D

It's got six different wash cycles (normal, heavy, glass, speed, eco, and rinse), and the assembly doesn't even require tools! It comes with an adapter to hook the included hose up to your sink.
Promising review: "My place did not have a dishwasher. I begged the landlord to install one (as most of the units have one), but he's too cheap. I loathe washing dishes by hand. There were always dirty dishes in the sink. I've had this for a couple months now, and it is one of my best purchases in the past decade. I ran it the night it arrived and have run it virtually every night since. If you follow the directions, you can fit a decent amount inside, but it is what it is: a very compact dishwasher that comfortably fits on the countertop next to the sink, where the dish strainer used to live. It will fit underneath cabinets if they are to code. It's pretty quiet, except when it expels water into the sink, but that's only a few seconds a few times during the wash. I have never had to wash anything a second time. Ever. I rinse a little but do not believe in washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I named it ('Dishy,' because I am not that creative) and it is now a member of my family. My daughter doesn't quite grasp why I love it so much, but then again, she is 7 and has never had to do dishes. Personally, I think she's just jealous that I give it so much attention. If one were to ask me to decide between this and a PS4, I would choose this every time (and I am an avid COD player)." —HoopdySF

Promising review: "Definitely worth purchasing if you have a big paint job. I've bought these since I first found them at the hardware store a couple of years ago. Whenever we start a project, I always look for them. Keeps me from having to clean the brush and wait for it to dry. I simply store it in the case and use it again the next day. Not sure how I lived without these before." —Always Reading
