    39 Products With Before-And-After Photos That Are Basically Life-Changing

    Prepare to be amazed.

    1. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub anything from cookware to cooktops and bathroom fixtures to rubber shoes shiny clean and free of stains. Just ~pink~ of all the icky things in your home you can finally clean with this stuff!

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life-changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

    2. Dissolving and soothing menthol canker sore patches that'll actually stay put in your mouth for up to 12 hours (!!!) and save you from searing pain every time you chew. Eating is one of the greatest joys of life, and canker sores are a special kind of evil that robs you of that joy. People, it's time to fight back.

    Promising review: "Finally, relief! Canker sores are tiny, yet extremely painful, especially when chewing! I had one below one of my molars. It was hell to chew, so I ordered these. I followed the instructions, which tell you to dry the sore first and hold the tablet there for 20 seconds. Amazingly, it sticks and stays for the full 12 hours (for me it was more like 14 hours). It doesn't slide off at all, even when chewing breakfast the next morning. Even brushing my teeth, it stayed. Once it was fully dissolved I could tell it helped because the pain was greatly reduced (still slight discomfort, but not pain like before). I highly recommend these for speeding up the healing process and for helping with the pain." —Sally

    3. Wet & Forget shower spray, which'll revolutionize the way you clean your bathroom. True to its name, all you have to do is spray your shower or tub, let it sit overnight, and rinse it the next morning to reveal a cleaning miracle. It works so well, you only need to use it once a week!

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $17.13.

    4. A Revlon oil-absorbing facial roller to get your lovely face looking marvelously matte in no time. Why have you been burning through all those blotting papers when this wonderful reusable option exists???

    Promising review: "Over the years, my skin has become extremely oily. This roller is easy to use, portable, REALLY does what it says!! Don't know how I've lived without this. I will never purchase blotting/oil absorbing sheets again." —jazmine

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (or $9.48 with the Subscribe & Save).

    5. A bottle of The Bucko soap scum and grime remover spray that'll send all the icky soap scum in your tub packing — for good.

    BuzzFeed Shopping managing editor Mallory McInnis swears by this stuff! Here's what she has to say: "Have you ever seen the movie The Santa Clause? There's a scene where Tim Allen's character shaves away his white beard and then ~WHOOSH!~ it reappears instantaneously. That's basically my bathtub and soap scum. I've tried many products to keep it at bay, but this is the only one that has ever really worked. Not only does it have a cute dog on the packaging, it also allows me to (easily!) wipe away dastardly soap scum without having to use a lot of muscle! Which is great, because I don't exactly have a lot of muscle to use."

    Get it from Amazon for $19.88.

    6. A pair of clever combs for removing all the crusty crust from around your pooch's eyes. Once those stubborn tear stains are gone, you might start crying some tears (of joy) of your own.

    Promising review: "I have a 16-pound Pomeranian/Papillon mix, and she gets tear stains nonstop. I tried all kinds of wipes, oils, and washes, but they would barely get anything out. Sometimes the tear stains get crusty and I can't get them out at all. THESE ACTUALLY HELPED A LOT. The little teeth on them are just the right size for brushing through the crusty areas around her eyes, and then I just wipe the loose remains off easily. And my dog cooperates; she even likes it, I think. I would definitely recommend this product to small dog owners with similar issues. I feel like they would be even better if they were not as wide, but that's not too big of an issue. I still recommend them." —Lana D

    7. 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.

    Promising review: "This worked for me. Here's what happened. First bandage: Everything turned white. Second bandage: The top layer of the wart started disappearing and I could see the blood vessels that were inside it clearly. Third bandage: It started burning while wearing it. One day was REALLY painful, but now I think I just put the bandage on too tight. There was definitely burning though. Uncomfortable, not unbearable. Fourth bandage: The skin around the wart started to crack. Fifth bandage: The skin continued to crack and I could see the wart separating. Sixth bandage: Skin separating deeper. Wart was really soft but it wouldn't budge. Seventh bandage: The wart stuck to the medicine, so when I pulled off the bandage, the wart went with it. I'm left with some raw skin that's a bit sensitive but it feels fine. It looks like the entire wart came off, roots and all. Side note: It smells horribly. Make sure you put the bandage on tight enough to try and conceal the smell, but not so tight it hurts. Overall, not a horrible process. Make sure you follow the instructions and keep it on for 48 hours at a time. Two of mine were only on for 24 hours and I think that prolonged the process." —Chelsea Gipson

    8. A rather miraculous vitamin solution to help even the most pitiful plants grow up big and strong and develop such great roots, they should play on The Tonight Show. It can help with transplant shock, too!

    Promising review: "I have had a scrawny fiddle-leaf fig for about half a year now. No growth whatsoever. After a recent move, I was pretty sure 'Wallace' was doomed as he kept dropping leaves. Poor Wallace. I've only had this magic potion for 10 days, and I've got two new leaves! It is not only surviving but is thriving like never before. Update two months later: Since this review, he's sprouted three more leaves! Holy cow." —Lisa Albert Wallner

    Get it from Amazon for $10.29.

    9. Or 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.

    Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. The reviewer pics above are all of the same plant — the left one shows how this magical stuff helped the rather sad dude perk up in just 10 days, and the right one shows that he's like a whole new plant two months later!

    Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial) the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product and it was a great price." —victoria

    10. Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser to tackle stains on pretty much any surface, from stainless steel to porcelain. Yes, even the stains that no other cleaning products could touch.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo swears by this stuff! Check out her full Bar Keepers Friend review.

    Promising review: "I cannot rave about this enough. It's AMAZING. This stuff is perfect for deep cleaning. I tried everything on my grimy bathtub, from vinegar to bleach to Scrubbing Bubbles to Magic Erasers to some smelly cleaner from the dollar store. I scrubbed the hell out of it; NOTHING WORKED. I was getting so frustrated with it all I was going to give up, but I posted about my situation online and someone suggested this stuff. OMG. I am never going back. I think you can't use it on steel or something, but you can use it for all kinds of surfaces. My God. I was amazed at what this stuff could do. I'm definitely buying this again. I only had enough to do my tub and my toilet (I think I used way more than I should've). Anyway, I'm definitely going to buy some more soon. I've got some more deep cleaning to do and this makes it a breeze." —yaz

    11.  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.

    two models before and after using the products, with their curls much more defined after
    Amazon

    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.

    12. Crest Whitestrips, aka teeth-whitening wonders you use for just a half hour every day. They claim to remove up to 14 YEARS worth of stains when used for 20 days, but you'll probably start seeing results after around three days. Goodbye, coffee stain on your molar that's older than your firstborn.

    One box comes with enough regular strips for 20 treatments and two sets of one-hour express strips for when you want extra quick results for a special event.

    Promising review: "These are the best. They do a great job of whitening and do not cause any pain to the teeth at all! Easy to use and do not make a sticky mess. I will never use another brand or product for whitening!" —Nicole

    Get them from Amazon for $48.

    13. Or a compact and convenient teeth whitening pen for anyone who's tired of more cumbersome methods or who is prone to sensitivity from strips, but still wants a Chip Skylark-worthy smile.

    Each pen can be used 15+ times!

    Promising review: "Works! Saw a difference in one week. My teeth are so much whiter! I drink a lot of coffee and it showed on my teeth. My teeth are very sensitive so I was worried about using this since I can’t use whitening toothpaste without pain. I had sensitivity one morning when I woke up but it’s completely gone now and hasn’t returned. I have been putting it on every night before bed. I highly recommend!" —Kiki1721

    Get two pens from Amazon for $21.99 (or $19.79 with the Subscribe & Save option).

    14. 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, so it's time to cue a rom-com makeover montage for your cabinet doors.

    Promising review: "I read about this in a BuzzFeed article, read the reviews, and looked at the images posted by reviewers. I figured why not. Our house is about 20 years old and things are starting to just look worn. Add kids and a dog to the house and you have plenty of scratched up or water-stained wood. This is magic in a bottle! The wood was trashed, but now it looks brand-new." —ByteMe

    Get it from Amazon for $11.79.

    15. Eyebrow styling soap you can just brush on to make your brows look super full and fluffy, or even style them into your desired shape. The 17 different brow pencils you have stashed in your vanity are all gonna be jealous.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this and am amazed at how much fuller my brows look! Application is also super easy and quick! I took three pictures. Top picture is before I applied it. Middle picture is after application. Third picture is after I've drawn a line under my brow to clean up the look and filled in some sparse areas." —P.A.

    Get a set of two plus brushes from Amazon for $7.99.

    16. 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.

    17. An amazing car cleaner spray that works on pretty much every surface of your interior, from leather to plastic to vinyl to fabric to wood to rubber. Because your car is a mess, and the fewer products you need to clean it, the better.

    Promising review: "Seriously, what is this sorcery? I've had my car ten years and have never thought to clean the upholstery and the infinite food/grease spills from tilted takeout boxes of authentic Mexican food. I embarrassingly got used to the way it looked until one day I cleaned my car really thoroughly and realized the seats were disgusting. So I tried the product. I cleaned small sections so it wouldn’t dry (with a scrub brush) and then used a few microfiber towels to wipe up anything remaining. It worked so well! No fumes." —KO

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (or $16.14 with the Subscribe & Save option).

    18. An endlessly reusable, nonadhesive hair remover roller you can just glide over your furniture to suck up the seemingly impossible amounts of fuzz your beloved fur baby deposits on a daily basis. Yes, you can now wear black pants and have company over! Maybe even both at the same time!

    Promising review: "I have no idea how I lived so long without it. I literally wish I could find the words to describe how incredible this thing is. I could slap myself for not buying it sooner. I have an 85-pound golden retriever who SHEDS. Not normal shedding — I'm talking this dog has so much hair it's ridiculous to clean up. I vacuum every day and run the Roomba when I'm working. But there was nothing besides lint rolling that I could do for the couches, pillows, sheets, etc. Until this. When I got it, I used it really quickly on our ottoman, which has a ton of dog hair on it just from existing in our living room. Ran this back and forth a little and I kid you not, all the hair was gone. Took it to the couches, sunroom furniture, all the throw pillows, and the bed sheets (which is absolutely life changing), and it removed 98% of the hair. I contemplated buying another one so my husband and I could tag team everything that needed fur removal. I cleaned the couch cushions tonight and when I sat down on the couch (IN A BLACK SHIRT) I had no dog hair on me when I got off the couch. This thing is absolutely incredible and has surpassed any expectation I could have had. I'm not one to give into gimmicky 'miracle' products but this one is legit. Just buy it!" —Nichole

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

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

    A reviewer's head with lots of dandruff flakes around their part
    The same reviewer's head with no dandruff around their part

    It's got over 5,000 positive reviews, and works for more than just dandruff. I get recurring bouts of fungal acne on my forehead, and I last summer I started using this at the recommendation of the interwebs (its key ingredient is an antifungal). Every other day, I slathered it on the affected area like a wash-off mask, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinsed it off. My forehead looked better the next day!

    Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all of my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

    Get it from Amazon for $14.84 (or $14.10 with the Subscribe & Save option).

    20. 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.

    The pics above are with just ONE wash!!! This stuff is cruelty-free and made with tea tree, coconut, and peppermint oils. Plus it's from a Black woman-owned brand! 🙌

    Promising review: "Totally amazing and beyond expectations. Chronic dry scalp for over a year, and with **one use**, super awesome results. My head feels fantastic and no more flaking. I'm going to buy a vat of this stuff and swim around in it! Really worth it." —Jana

    Get it from Amazon for $42.

    21. A sanitizing handheld steam cleaner you can use to spot treat icky patches all over your home *or* clean larger areas. No mess is a match for it, and it's oh-so-satisfying to use.

    reviewer's white floor with dirty grout
    the grout almost totally white

    It comes with three round brushes, a scraper, a grout brush, an angle concentrator, and a nozzle that allows you to add all those attachments, plus a measuring cup!

    Promising review: "Makes cleaning FUN! I will admit I do like to clean. However, I don't enjoy using a toothbrush to get into corners of the bathroom, or scraping anything off the stove. I choose not to use very many chemicals either. I just couldn't wait to use this, and then I couldn't stop! Stains I had scrubbed and used cleaners on that never really got clean suddenly disappeared! I've used it in the shower, on tile floors, in corners of the bathrooms and kitchen, but the microwave blew me away! A couple of shots and it was like I had a brand new microwave. AND I only wiped it out with a paper towel. No scrubbing necessary! No harsh fumes, just good and clean. I actually used it on my stone fire place. I've vacuumed the stone with a brush but it still looked dusty. After an hour with the steam shot, it was dust-free." —Krista Behm

    Get it from Amazon for $30.

    22. Grip Clean, a soap specially made for folks who work with their hands. It's designed to wash away substances like grease, oil, and ink, plus moisturize as it cleans so your hands aren't left raw.

    Promising review: "AMAZING! My husband and I saw this on Shark Tank and he immediately had me order some for him and his family for Christmas! He works on the farm and has used every industrial-type soap available. This works better than ANYTHING on the market! And it’s natural! I even use it on my little artist (7-year-old) who constantly has paint/marker/glitter glue, etc. on her hands. It truly is amazing!" —M. Caudill

    Get it from Amazon for $11.50.

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

    The same mug with the inside restored to a silver color, with the stains gone

    I KNOW I'm not the only one who puts off this important chore as long as possible because I always use the wrong amount of dish soap and then it takes forever to rinse it out and even THEN my bottle winds up tasting like soap...you know what I'm talking about. All you have to do with Bottle Bright is fill your bottle with warm water, drop a single tablet in, and let it fizz the gunk away. The tablet dissolves completely, so once you dump out the water, you can use your bottle again right away! Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on Bottle Bright.

    Promising review: "Can I give Bottle Bright 10 stars? This is a MIRACLE product. I saw it on Shark Tank last week and was really surprised that Lori was the only one that made them an offer (the other Sharks must not use Contigo travel mugs). I immediately ordered it to try and save my Contigo mug that I thought was too far gone. One 10 minute go-round with this product in warm water cleaned the dark brown layer of crud off the bottom of the mug, revealing perfect, shiny, good-as-new stainless steel underneath! I'd tried everything to get that off, but the shape of the bottle made it nearly impossible to scrub. With this product, it rinsed right off like it was nothing. I decided to try one more tablet with hot water and leave it overnight to get the stains off the sides of the bottle. This morning when I rinsed it out, I was absolutely blown away by how perfect it looks. I almost didn't want to put more coffee in it! Also, as the product was sitting and doing its thing in the water, there was no odor whatsoever, and there is absolutely no residual taste. I don't know how they did it, but this incredible product is a MUST-HAVE if you have a mug that you find impossible to clean!" —Erica C.

    24. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle, a cruelty-free formula you can use in most any carpet cleaning machine from 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 autoship! 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).

    25. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which has everything you need to ensure that even the most stubborn stains on your smooth-top range will be ~cooked~.

    It comes with a bottle of cleaner, a scraper, and a cleaning pad.

    Promising review: "I rarely write reviews unless something blows me away. I bought my house almost two years ago, and the cooktop has always been a bit dirty looking and it bugged me, but nothing I bought worked that well. I am so upset it took me so long to buy this product. My cooktop hasn’t looked this good, ever. I never thought I’d get it this clean and shiny, ever. I’ll admit it took a lot of elbow grease and time with the scraper to get the rings around the burners off. When I was done with that alone I was happy, and figured that was probably as good as it would get. Then I used the scrubber with the Cerama Bryte and it did wonders. When it got to the point of polishing with the paper towel, I was blown away. Check out the photos, it is night and day. I would recommend this product to anyone." —Lauren Langer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.79.

    26. NYX matte finish setting spray, an amazingly affordable spritz that over 5,000 reviewers swear by for seriously locking in their makeup ~lewks~. I'm talking all dang day, people!!!

    Promising review: "This is the first time I've ever used a setting spray, but it was my daughter's graduation and 99 degrees outside. I sat outside for three hours in the heat! We went out to dinner and to the store before I finally got home to take off my makeup. I was a little shinier than before I left, but very happy with this spray!" —Jess Y.

    27. 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.

    28. A Bite Away tool, aka the mosquito bite relief you've been searching for every summer, but failed to find in the form of creams or anything else.

    Promising review: "I can’t say enough good about this product. I am severely allergic to mosquito bites (Skeeter Syndrome) and this is the first product ever that has provided long-lasting relief. Yes, like others described, you do feel a burning sensation. At least in my case, it has not caused any lasting marks. Any discomfort that I feel from the heat is far outweighed by the benefits of not having any itching. When you first apply it, the itching actually increases, but by the time you are done with the treatment, the itching is completely gone. I was so shocked at how effective it is from the first time I used it. I don’t know how I lived without this for so long!" —Gigli

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    29. As-seen-on-TV Debbie Meyer GreenBags here to save you major waste and $$$. They can keep your produce fresher much longer and be reused 8 to 10 times!!!

    The reviewer comparison above is what two bananas — one kept in the bag and one not — looked like after four or five days! Check out more as-seen-on TV kitchen products.

    Promising review: "I am a big warehouse shopper and in the past often couldn’t eat all those berries or all that lettuce before they went bad. So I followed the directions and made sure the produce was dry (lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and blueberries). For the lettuce and asparagus, saw a little condensation in the bag, so put a paper towel in the bag where moisture was accumulating. Two weeks later, the berries were almost as fresh as on day one. Lettuce was still crisp and crunchy and only a few pieces of spinach were starting to wilt. Asparagus were crisp as well. I would definitely recommend and will continue to try with other fruits and vegetables." —BAS

    30. A stunningly effective 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.

    Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on the Diamond Dazzle stick.

    Promising review: "If I could give this 20 stars, I would! After reading all the reviews on this, I was expecting it to work, but I was still amazed by how great it worked! It seriously made me realize that I ring I inherited from a family member 15 years ago was a completely different color than I thought it was. In the 15 years I've had this ring, I've never seen the actual color of the stone! My mind was blown! I'll have one of these on hand for the rest of my life." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $6.49.

    31. Essence Lash Princess mascara, a gluten- and cruelty-free formula that's only $5 — but will produce results worth a heck of a lot more than that. It'll feel like a major upgrade even if the mascara you currently use is more expensive.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd (whose lovely face is pictured above left) says it really lives up to the hype! Check out her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

    Promising review: "The best there is! After years of spending way too much on the designer mascaras at Sephora, etc., I discovered this mascara and I cannot possibly say how much I love it. And for the price, it's an absolute steal. I have tried both the regular and the waterproof. I did find that the waterproof burned my eyes and caused irritation, however, the regular Lash Princess is the best mascara I've ever used. No clumping, effortless extension, and I feel beautiful the moment I put it on. Easy to remove with makeup remover or baby wipes. I've been using this mascara for over a year and a half, and I find that one tube lasts several months before I need to reorder. Top-notch product! I can't imagine ever switching to another brand again. Highly recommend!" —Jenny

    32. Microfiber makeup remover cloths capable of swiping off even the toughest products with just WATER (yup, you read that right).

    As if that wasn't easy enough, these are also machine washable so you can use them again and again!

    Promising review: "I was skeptical of these, but now I'm pretty sure they're what Mulan's outfit was made of when she wiped her makeup off on her sleeve in the movie. Even totally dry, they do a pretty impressive job of taking off all my makeup (including waterproof eyeliner and mascara) in a couple swipes. I like to use a little micellar water to make my skin feel a little cleaner. It's nice not to burn through so many cotton pads." —RachelM

    33. Or The Makeup Eraser, a cult-fave magical plush cloth with one side made for removing product and the other for exfoliating. Like the above cloths, it works with just water, 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?

    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.

    34. 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.

    35. An impressive leather cleaner to buy when every other method you've tried has come so close, yet ~sofa~r from getting the stains out of your beloved leather couch (or jacket, or purse, or office chair...).

    Promising review: "I used this on my natural leather couch and wow! The results were amazing. This couch looks better than it did when I bought it new. Some reviews said the smell is bad, but it smells just like any other cleaner that doesn't have added fragrance. As soon as the solution dried, which took about 10 minutes, the smell was completely gone. I highly recommend this product if you have natural leather that you need cleaned." —Amanda Coffee

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (or $17.06 with the Subscribe & Save option).

    36. 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."

    Promising review: "Overall, I am VERY IMPRESSED. For me, these hold up better than a Mr. Clean magic eraser. They got stains out of my kitchen counter tops, out of my bathroom sink, and even cleaned the shower so well it looked like I had bleached the whole thing! Very happy and will continue to buy in the future. I've even given some to my family to convince them how great they are." —SierraH

    37. Majorly space-saving hangers to transform your tiny closet into something you can work with until the day you can afford to move into a mansion with a Cher Horowitz-type closet with room for your whole wardrobe.

    The tees hung on hangers that are also hung on these vertical hangers, taking up less space and with the text

    There are hanger hooks on both ends, so you can attach either one (like in the pics above for maximum space-saving) or both (to hang easily-wrinkled clothes a little farther apart) sides to your closet rod. Each one has five slots for more hangers, so one set can store up to 50 pieces.

    Promising review: "TEARS OF JOY. Okay, I know that's dramatic, but I cannot say enough about how these hangers have transformed my tiny, odd-shaped closet. I was so desperate for more space, I was considering spending big bucks to have a professional come in and redesign the space. Then I found these and it's like my hanging space quadrupled! It feels downright luxurious in my closet now. I can see all my clothes and nothing is squished together like it used to be. I can also comfortably add a substantial amount of clothing and would still have room to grow. BUY THESE IMMEDIATELY!" —milanina77

    38. 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).

    39. 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.
