Cue the epic beat drop in "Without You" by David Guetta and Usher.
I mean, look at the reviewer's slices above. Borderline pornographic.
Promising review: "Best knife ever. I could not cook without this knife. Not just for tomatoes. I use it as a paring knife and for most tasks that don't require a chef's knife. It's extremely sharp. I just bought two more since I lost my original one and never want to be without it." —Bita B.

This Pennsylvania-based small biz also stocks plenty of other soothing scents! Some reviewers say that since a little goes along way, each cube can last for multiple showers.

Promising review: "How did I ever get along without this thing? We were looking for a way to dry dishes without taking up counter space with a dedicated drying rack. I decided to give this little contraption a try, and boy, am I glad I did. It is incredibly versatile and is a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and best of all, it rolls up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I'll never be without one again." —T. Eicher

It includes three wide bins, three narrow bins, a bin with special slots for eggs, and a bin with an angled opening that makes it easier to grab cans.
Promising review: "The best thing that ever happened to my refrigerator! We had such a hard time with our fridge. The bins on the bottom broke, but we couldn’t afford a new fridge just yet, so I ordered these just to get us by. They are AMAZING! Everything is neat and tidy, in its place. The added benefit that I wasn’t expecting was that our food is staying colder than it was! I’m not sure why, maybe the material of the bins, but I’ll never be without them!" —Amy M.

Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on O'Keefe's Working Hands.
Promising review: "I do a lot of crafts, DIY, and projects and my hands pay the price. Plus I can’t sit still for long without picking at my cuticles, which are always ragged and dry, to the point of bleeding. I was looking for an intensive but non-greasy hand cream in a portable container to use during the day. I had no idea Working Hands existed but gave it a try and I am amazed. The texture is magnificent and it immediately started healing my hands without any residue. I carry it with me in my purse to pop on my hands whenever I have a moment, and will never be without it again." —Susan B.

I started using this magical product (which is made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender essential oils) a few years ago and since then have told approximately 1,089,642 people about it. I keep one in my purse and one on my dresser, and I reorder before I'm actually close to running out — I would be lost without it. While it won't kill a major migraine on its own, it feels super soothing and cooling. If I end up taking ibuprofen for my headache, this is really nice to use while it kicks in. Also, if I just have a slight headache or just the beginnings of one, a few swipes of this (lightly on my temples and forehead and as heavily as I want on my neck) can actually knock it out or delay it getting worse. It's so great to help me get through my busy workdays and social activities, and I really wish I'd had it during high school and college to help me get through the day then! Read my full review here.
Promising review: "This works so well I never go without it. I have noticed throughout my work day I will begin to get the dreaded afternoon headache. One where Advil can help, but it isn’t a guarantee, and I normally hate waiting for it to kick in. This migraine stick is my new go-to. The second I feel a headache coming on, I just roll this on and within seconds I feel it working. Within a minute or so I feel fine again. I have also noticed it gives a little boost of energy as well. I have also used it when I feel a full-blown migraine coming on. All I can say is it really works. There is still some lingering pain, but this has worked better than anything else I have used. In addition to taking the pain away, it also provides a tingly sensation. Wherever you roll it on tingles after application. This also helps distract from the pain. I am now a customer for life and love love love this product. I have also noticed that even if I use it often it keeps working. You don’t grow a tolerance to it. If you are a headache sufferer this is a must. Between how reliably it works and how quickly it works, I would recommend this product to anyone." —Corinne Garcia

Promising review: "Absolute necessity. I've been using Super Thrive for 30 years to give my plants an extra boost. You just put few drops into a full watering can and pour it on the plant. This tiny little bottle with the retro label contains all the vitamins and minerals plants need to overcome transplant shock and other stressful situations. I wouldn't be without it." —Sola 66

Promising review: "My big Newfoundland loves the snow, and your tiny Labradoodle may not. But they both hate getting salt in their paws. I got this after my best friend pulled up lame during a snowstorm, and sat there on the sidewalk, crying like a Chihuahua. He handed me the paw that was hurting, and I got down on my knees to dig out the salt. He immediately became the snow-loving dog he is, but we went home quickly, afraid to get hurt again. A friend of mine told me about this stuff, and gave me enough to get me through the snowstorm. I ordered this right away, not wanting to be caught without it ever again. You just rub a little on their paws, and then you are good to go. I did not have another incident after treating him with this. That doesn't mean that it's perfect, and I do avoid piles of salt whenever possible. But it's a good idea to use this stuff if you live where they salt the roads and sidewalks." —Bart

The adhesive is strong but removable, so they can be used again and again! These clever babies are from an NY-based, woman- and family-run small business.
Promising review: "They are everything I thought they would be and more. Don’t know how I went this long without them! Marilyn Monroe moments are cute and all, but only in the movies and definitely not when you’re unloading a stroller from your car. Wore these twice already with no such incidents! 😅 Grateful!" —Maria Galmarini

Promising review: "I would give this stuff 10 stars if I could! We had mold in the bathroom. I’d tried so many things, but they barely worked. Then I saw an ad for this on Facebook and decided to give it a try. Wonder of wonders, I could see it working in just a few hours. Directions say to leave it on about six hours and when I came back it was almost completely gone. I gave it another application the following day. Mold is gone. YAY!!!! Already ordered more because I won’t be without it. 😁" —Trudy Marsh-parham

Promising review: "Works great; I couldn't go without it now. This leaves my scalp squeaky clean and allows my hair to go longer before starting to look greasy. I am one of those people who only washes my hair twice a week and this has made it so that my hair stays looking better for longer. It really helps remove any built-up product and oils. I have super long, thin hair, but I have a TON of it. This thing has not caused any knotting or issues. I am extremely pleased with this purchase." —Paige Lincoln

Promising review: "Great for anyone who stands or walks a lot. I am an RN who works 12-hour shifts. I have been at it for over 40 years. Through the years I have tried numerous compression socks, but usually gave them up after a few weeks because the discomfort outweighed the benefits. Not true of these socks. They are extremely comfortable, stay up without bunching, and fit perfectly. I love the colors. Our uniforms are dictated by management so we always use our socks as a means of personalizing and to be able to have options other than white is fantastic. I never realized how different my legs would feel with good compression socks. I will not work another day without them." —resa9699

This slim plunger can reach way deeper into your toilet to take on stubborn clogs. You can even use it like a squeegee along the sides of the bowl in place of a toilet brush. Plus, it comes with a sleek and discreet caddy!
Promising review: "Wouldn't go back to plungers! I wouldn’t be without this great little tool — especially since I only have one bathroom! There’s a knack to using it, and it takes a little practice, but after years of frustration with the old plumber’s helper, they’ve gone and built a better mousetrap! I will warn you that you need to use eye protection, because sometimes there’s backsplash. You push it in and then sort of give it a twist before retracting it, and it occasionally requires a few tries before it’s successful. It’s not quite as simple as the video makes it appear, but after you get accustomed to the difference, it just works! I’ve thrown away my old plunger; it was only collecting dust. Buy one!" —MiscElaineous

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd (whose lovely face is pictured above) says it really lives up to the hype! Check out her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.
Promising review: "Best mascara of all time!!! Never will I ever be without this mascara. I've got short, thin lashes and have had a graveyard of mascara that I would constantly give to my friend or daughter because they never lived up to the hype. This is amazing. I will sometimes add a fiber thing with it to make it even better, but it's great on its own. And the price makes it even more ridiculous. I seriously had my doubts but I'm a total fan now after using it. Getting ready to buy another tube now. It's lasted three months so far and I use it pretty much daily. I can't tell how much is left, but I don't want to risk being without it." —angmoore

Personally, I plan on never using any hair ties other than these for as long as I live. They're marketed as "traceless," or that they won't leave a crease, but if you have your hair up for a long time, I think there's gonna be a crease no matter what. That's not what I like about them. For me, it's all about the comfort and the GRIP. I can just put my hair up with it and forget about it the rest of the day, without adjusting it a zillion times. They stay put and make for messy-bun perfection. I'm also headache prone, and these are super comfy and don't cause headaches even if my hair's up all day. They're comfier and more attractive-looking just chilling on my wrist than normal elastics, too. And OH, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the freaking DURABILITY. One of these things lasts me for actual months. Not only do they not fall out of your hair and get lost, but even when they get super stretched out, they shrink back down to the right size to be usable again. Can't say enough good things.
Promising review: "I can't live without these things! They do stretch out after one or two uses but I just wrap it twice. I have long, thick, curly hair but with wrapping it around twice it holds my hair no problem, even when wet. I wash my hair at night and have to sleep with it up, partly because I don't dry it before bed. When I dry my hair the next morning these don't leave any of the dents and bends I get from other hair ties. Love!" —Amanda Stanley

Promising review: "I've always used this. It's kept my litter box fresh for the last eight years. I can't survive without this and my cats love it too, because it doesn't irritate them with chemical smells. People just say to add regular Arm & Hammer and that's ok, but this has a good smell that actually dissipates the urine and feces smell! Try it!" —MegPie

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: "Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Seriously. The scent is always the first thing that I take note of; this smells fresh, yet delectable. The crisp, fresh, invigorating scent of peppermint is immediately noticeable, but not at all harsh or overpowering. The overall scent reminds me of a peppermint patty. Next up, the exfoliating properties. I've tried a handful of scalp exfoliating products that I've generally loved, but the exfoliating ingredient is often too harsh and takes a ton of extra rinsing, or it's just nonexistent. This one is perfect. Perfect. My scalp felt incredible, and when in combination the silicone scalp massager from this line, it's heavenly. As a curly girl who has been searching for great products, I am blown away by the lather of this shampoo! It actually lathers better than most shampoos I've used in my lifetime, and it rinses away so easily and thoroughly. No leftover residue! My hair and scalp was left feeling clean, cool, refreshed, revived, light. I've struggled to find a clean shampoo that can really get my hair feeling clean (my hair has never felt so clean!) without stripping its natural oils. This is one of those products that I NEVER want to live without!" —Nova

Promising review: "Instant favorite toy!! My 7-month-old kitten absolutely loves this toy! She goes wild every time she sees it and has even pulled it out of its storage spot if she can see where it is. I have never seen her love a toy so much — definitely the best $2 I've ever spent! I want to give one to every cat owner I know. I'm sure it won't last super long because it seems flimsy, but considering the price and how beloved it is, I'm planning to purchase a few more just to keep on hand so we are never without it! Highly recommend giving it a try and seeing if your cat reacts like mine did." —Alyssa Marie

Promising review: "If you have an RV, these are your best friend. No RV should be without these for winter storage. Over the winter, the extreme temperature changes cause condensation and this will KILL any RV. You will have rot, mildew, mold, and a musty smell in spring when you get it out of storage. I put four of these into my RV every winter, and when I get it out of storage in spring, I have no smell, no mold, no mildew, and I keep my RV from rotting. It is so simple. Place them at different areas, take off the lid, and they go to work. I put them in the bathroom, living area, bedroom, and the lower storage area. This makes my RV last many years longer. This is a small investment to make to preserve, and protect your very expensive RV. By the way, when I get my RV out of storage, all four of the DampRid containers are full of water. That is a lot of water that has not penetrated the structure of my RV. I swear by these and recommend them to anyone who wants to preserve their RV. These are the best. 5 stars." —Repro63

Promising review: "The BEST thing you can travel with!!! This works excellently on light to medium cotton, cotton/poly, and rayon, which most of my clothes are...AND BETTER YET, doesn't take long to get the wrinkles out. I wear linen also and that is where this takes longer to get the wrinkles out or at least make them almost gone; of course, anyone who wears linen knows it's wrinkled in a matter of a few minutes after putting it on, so I don't spend much time steaming my linen clothes. Quality, lightweight, easy to pack...I WON'T leave home without it." —Jana Hodge

Promising review: "Very convenient. Won't work around the house without it. This arm band is very convenient. When hammering, I always seem to drop nails when I'm elevated (probably like everyone else :)). This band will not only hold your nails, but it will also hold a screw driver and drill bits. It has an adjustable strap to fit different wrist sizes. I would recommend this product." —The Garden

I have been struggling with my nails strength and my cuticles constantly drying out I was about to give up and get faux nails again. I am so glad I did not! Barely into the third night of using this right before bed and I already see my nails growing, their moisture level is consistent and smoooooooooth, and the strength has already taken a turn for the better. I'm currently about a week and a half in of using it every night and I will never stray away from this product!! WOW!" —Whitney W

BuzzFeed shopping editor Emma Lord loves these. She writes, "TBH, I swear by these so aggressively that I have them on a subscription. They're like ear glue. My apartment is on a busy street and my upstairs neighbor is a noisy human being (does this count as a subtweet??) and once I pop these babies in I can barely hear a thing. Plus, my ears never get sore with these in like they do with headphones or other earplugs."
Promising review: "My very favorite earplugs ever for sleeping. I have been using this brand for over 10 years! These are in my ears every night. It is like I can't sleep without them. After the first night, I did not notice they were there. I do reform them to fit into my ears better. That means I rip some excess off and mold them a bit. I've never had a problem with these. Also for those that are wondering, yes you can reuse them, and do not have to throw them out that quickly. Please keep making them forever! I can't tolerate other ear plugs." —K R T

Promising review: "Truly a miracle!!! Seriously this is THE BEST healing lip moisturizer I’ve ever used. I have been out all winter shoveling and snow blowing and my lips started to crack and bleed pretty badly. I had a couple deep cuts on my lips. I was using all of my EOS, lip balms — nothing, didn’t help. I actually went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended this. We just moved this year to this climate from the Southwest so this has never happened to me. Took about three to four days of constant use and the cracks and bleeding are gone. Now I’m stocking up on this product!!!! Never will be without." —Moonchild6970

Promising review: "I CANNOT be without this stuff!! I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stains on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pre-treat to shampooing and most often the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say gone…I mean GONE! And that’s with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I’d buy it again is such an understatement. I can’t be without it!!" —Angela Raab

Pre-order it (should be delivered in around a week and a half) from Skinergy Beauty for $54.99.
BuzzFeed editor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing. She says, "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was 5 and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand."
Promising review: "The cats are in heaven!!! We have four cats and bought this to try to cut down on shedding and hairballs. After having it for just a week, we never want to be without it. Even our anti-social cat comes up and begs for a pet when the glove comes out. The only thing that is not perfect on this glove is that I have smaller hands, and the glove is a little big, so my pinky doesn't stay where it should. But hey, if that's the only downside, we aren't going to complain. Long story short, if you love your pets, you will buy this glove as soon as possible." —Amazon Customer
