One BuzzFeeder believes this is the only shower cap you need but I have to agree to disagree, because I need one in every color.
Promising review: "For years I have been putting my hair in a bun and a thick headband while avoiding the shower with expert practice to avoid wetting my hair. I stumbled upon this and thought, now there’s a shower cap I could live with! It is so pretty, the box was so nice also. A great gift! No lines on my face or soreness from a tight band! The print is lovely, the fabric is completely water proof and shakes off easy. I am going to use it with a hair treatment today!" —karenjoan

The kit includes the whitening light, mouth guard, and two gel syringes with enough product for 20 whitening sessions. You can also get gel refills to keep your pearly whites pearly for good!
Promising review: "I won’t lie, I didn’t notice a huge difference after the first use, BUT my teeth were noticeably whiter after the third use and have continued to get whiter with every use since then. This is the only whitening product that has worked for me and I will definitely continue to use it." —Tom

Promising review: "This understated little can works amazingly. It removes all traces of makeup in your brushes. I wash the container with just water once a week. It's so much easier on your brushes to not scrub them down every day. I wash mine once or twice a week now." —Jodi5868

Promising review: "My daughter Royalty is the most tender headed kid in the world. She would cry before you even touched her head. Professionals gave up on doing her hair. I got frustrated because I can't do hair to save my life but I then I found this detangling brush. I thought it wouldn't work for black people and kinky/thick hair but I was able to comb through her whole head without her shedding one tear. Even Royalty couldn't believe she didn't cry. I recommend this to everyone who has a child or anyone who wants one for their own hair. It works. It works wonders. Thank you Lord for leading me to this life saving brush." —TaReese Womack
Get it from Amazon for $10.77 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "My skin is so smooth when I wash with this. I have rosacea and sensitive skin in general, and this keeps it soft without irritating. Blemishes from having dry/rough skin almost immediately reduced after using this. I also use the brush on my toddler’s arms — she has keratosis pilaris and eczema and the gentle exfoliation helps keep it under control in the dry winter months. I love the cheerful color and the cute size that fits well into my admittedly child-sized hands. Have not yet had to replace the batteries." —VioletandRye

I still can't totally figure out how this works sans magic, but these 1,200 five-star reviews have figured it out!
Promising review: "I have arthritis in my hands and when I use tweezers, my hands ache. It took me a while to figure out how best to use this but now that I have, I love it! I use the flat of my hand and the back of my fingers to roll it across my face and I get really great results. I have been using it for awhile and have noticed that I have less facial hair than I did before. My face also feels really smooth. I really can't tell you the amount of time I am saving. Just be patient when you first buy it and take some time to figure out how it works best for you." —rainmomportland

Promising review: "Nothing has been able to curl my straight lashes and I'm certain it's due to the aging process. At 71, my lashes are coarse and straight as could be. No other curler has worked for me. I find that 'if' I curl them, apply a light coat of mascara, wait 15 minutes, and recurl them, the second coat of mascara acts like hair spray and keeps them up for a while. I've always had lush lashes that framed my eyes and now, it's very frustrating to have to work so hard to keep them in an upright position. If any of you older ladies are having the same problem and have found a solution, I'm all ears. I'm grateful for the Shu Uemura curler for making this arduous process easier for me." —atlas
Get it from Shu Uemura for $23.
Promising review: "I love this product! I'm a makeup artist and I have tried many beauty sponges but this right here is the exact dupe of the Beauty Blender for half the price. I'm glad one of my clients introduced me to this sponge. This will be the only one I buy from now on!!" —Alex DeLeon
Get it from Amazon for $6.97.
Promising review: "It was frustrating and beyond annoying to have to use Beautyblender packaging or a hairspray bottle cap to organize and dry my Beautyblender sponges. It looked awful on my makeup counter and was totally dysfunctional. This acrylic organizer is absolutely perfect! It’s very well made and works perfectly for all sponge sizes. LOVE and would highly recommend!" —KCMO

Learn all about why this is the best blowdryer you can buy in one BuzzFeeder's review. It's also our top pick for hairdryers in BuzzFeed Reviews.
Promising review: "This blowdryer is revolutionary! It will change your life by drastically cutting drying time while smoothing your hair at the same time. It makes a huge difference in humid climates! It's also very light, which makes it easy to pack." —Fernandina
Get it from Nordstrom for $399 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "This thin, lightweight hair towel does some pretty heavy duty work. I love using it to hold my damp hair back while I do my makeup, and it doesn’t leave my neck aching like a heavier towel would. The size is perfect for wrapping my medium length hair and leaves it almost fully dry in the time it takes me to do my makeup. The price is pretty hefty though. I’m one who doesn’t pay more than $10 for my giant bath towels. Also, adding some kind of tie or velcro to hold it in place rather than tucking it would be nice." —mirnalopez

Read all about how one BuzzFeeder thinks this is a life-changing beauty product.
Promising review: "This exceeded my expectations. I like that it's quiet, no noise from blow dryers, and it gets my dry hair straight so fast! The teeth are spaced to lessen hair loss. Just brush your hair carefully before beginning, then use this straightener. What I dislike about blow dryers is the noise. I couldn't watch TV while I dry my hair but with this, I can. I have one spot where my hair likes to stick to my head in a finger wave. One pass with this, and that wave is gone! This is a wonderful product. I wish I'd had it long ago." —Jan

Promising review: "I bought this steamer about a year ago and I LOVE it! I get blackheads all over my face but especially worry about the ones I get around my lips. I wasn’t able to get them out without hurting the sensitive skin there, until I got this steamer to help get those lil nasties out. I recommend this 1000%." —Emily Victor
Get it from Amazon for $36.95.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this kit!!!! The UV Light works SO WELL!!!! The price is so good and the tools, light, and polishes are incredible! The bottles of gel polish are very very small, but you can go and get more online or at a drug store. My nails look professional and the kit costs less than a professional gel manicure! I definitely recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a must have if you care about your skin!! I've used it for three months. The multiple functions are useful and I’ve seen real results. My serums and antioxidants penetrate deeper into my skin. The massage head pushes it deeper than just applying with my hands and I have already seen lifting, tightening, and less lines. My skin is smoother than ever before and I have had NO breakouts after the fourth week of using this once a day. I don’t think I could ever go back to life without this. The battery lasted long enough for me to use four times (to cleanse and massage at night and then for my eyes and makeup in the morning) each day over a two week trip. I get more compliments on my skin now than I did in the last 38 years!! I'm a believer for life." —Seattlelite

Promising review: "After months of thinking about it and wasted hours of hand washing makeup brushes, I finally purchased this and am so glad I did! This device has saved me so much time and annoyance of dealing with dirty brushes. Yes you do need to wipe off excess makeup from the brushes before cleaning them with this device, but it's only a couple minutes (use IPA to wipe off the stubborn cream and liquid brushes). The cleanser has a nice smell to it but I do an additional rinse cycle because I don't like strong scents. You have to do some trial and error with how much cleanser to use too. Bottom line, if you're a makeup lover, try this — you won't be disappointed!" —Luiza M.
Get it from Amazon for $162.
Promising review: "I find that this brush is truly multifunctional as described. Perfect for under-eye, cheeks, and tops of cheekbones. I particularly love love love to use it with my NARS blushes as I find it works to add the perfect amount of product to the cheeks (and we all know how pigmented those blushes are)!" —bricatfree
Get it from Sephora for $55.
Promising review: "I have thick toe nails that sometimes actually hurt when I wear shoes (TMI, I know). Nevertheless, I bought this pricey, course nail file and I am pleased. It's thin, somewhat flexible, and most importantly, grinds right through my toenails. Finally, on the one side with grit (the other side is smooth), they left a very thin edge that's free of grit so it doesn't harm the surrounding flesh as you saw away. It rinses off nicely after use and looks like new. I've only had it for two weeks now, so I'm unable to attest to it's durability. So far, so good." —Rilodile

Promising review: "I used to turn my bottles upside down, but would leave lots of foundation unintentionally. This is so worth it and will save me so much money!" —jennifer i.

Promising review: "I am a hairdresser and I feel like this should be explained better. This is not made to hold your ponytail while you go for a jog. It is strong enough that you could use it to secure a braid. The beauty of this product is that the coils prevent your hair from getting a band mark. Want your hair to have lots of volume in the morning with no bed head? Gather your hair onto the top of your head and loosely secure it. In the morning, take out the Invisibobble and voila!" —Annadj

Promising review: "You know that perfectly wavy reality TV star hair? I wanted it. Craved it. Tried everything to get it. But nothing worked. Nothing lasted. I thought that my long, thick hair was just going to be straight forever. Impervious to curls of any kind. Until I tried the Beachwaver. I fell in love, y'all. I watched in wonder as my head of lackluster locks transformed into flowing waves with just the push of a button. Literally — it's pretty much dummy-proof. Basically does all the work for you. #motorizedmagic And here's the really crazy part — these curls last. For a looooong time. I'm talking 3+ days. Even brushed out and slept on, my hair stays soft, smooth, and perfectly wavy. I'm starting to feel like this is just the natural state of my hair. Probably gonna get my own reality show soon just because of these glorious waves. I know it's pricey, but think of it as an investment in your awesomeness. You're worth it. You deserve it. And so does your soon-to-be primetime hair." —OhMargo

Promising review: "As someone who has suffered from skin sensitivity for most of my adult life, I have continued to struggle finding something that removes my makeup with ease while also protecting my skin. This eraser not only removes all of my makeup without irritation, it also removes waterproof mascara without any issue! Cleaning is a breeze, as I simply throw it in the wash or hand wash with baby shampoo." —Brittany Saxon

This uses three applicator tips: one to exfoliate, one to vacuum, and one to absorb.
Promising review: "I LOVE this at-home microderm system. I wish I had known about it sooner. It is super easy to use and the results are noticeable. I've used it for four weeks now and have a lot less acne! The only other treatment option that had similar results for me was Accutane. I much prefer this luxurious treatment over taking harmful medication. My skin care products absorb so much better and my old acne scars are fading. WELL worth the purchase." —GiftOfTheMagPie

Promising review: "I had just had a baby when I got this and between all the milk pumping and caffeine drinking my body was dried out and dehydrated. My lips took a hit and were dried, cracked, and even bleeding — very painful. Even my tried and true expensive-as-heck lip moisturizer couldn't help. Having this lip brush did the trick and made all the difference. The exfoliation must have allowed my lip moisturizer to get better absorbed. I was able to see results in just a couple of days. Now I have soft and supple lips again. This silicone lip brush feels so good and since the 'bristles' or 'bumps' are shallow it was so easy to clean the brush afterward. Where has this thing been all my life? I don't think I can live without it now." —Double-J

The only problem with this treasure is that you can never go back. I learned the hard way.
Promising review: "I have very fine, curly hair (3c/4a) so I need to make sure my scalp is clean so my curls look their very best. I love this! It doesn't tangle my hair, the vibrations are relaxing, and most importantly my scalp feels clean with no product build up. I also use it at night to stimulate hair growth with some oils. I do make sure to dry the battery compartment after I've used it in the shower so there isn't any rust issue later on." —Tammi

Promising review: "I bought this item because I read the reviews. Honestly, this is the best brush cleaner I have ever used! The reviews were not lying. All you have to do is wet your brush and swirl it in the cleaner. You then wash out the cleaner and your brushes are completely clean! It gave my brushes life again, and they look brand new. Plus, they smell fantastic! I am so grateful I read the reviews because I would never have found this wonderful makeup brush cleaner. I am beyond happy with my purchase!" —Krystal Diaz

Promising review: "If you have issues applying masks with your fingers and having excess product wasted from rinsing your fingers off and want a more hygienic way to apply jarred masks, this is for you! Plus, it's just fun to use. Very easy to use and effortlessly works around the crevices and features of your noise. Tip is very durable yet flexible for smooth application. Had bought a kitchen spatula and used to apply masks but now I don't look like I'm trying to add cake frosting on my face. I also travel a lot so I like to keep it in the plastic box it comes in. An essential mask applicator beauty tool for any mask junkie!" —aznflip26

Promising review: "I recently discovered how to properly apply glitter nail polish and Second Skin Liquid Latex Barrier is perfect to keep my skin clear while I'm sponging on the glitter. A little goes a long way, which is great. But I think my frequency of use (weekly) will have me either buying more frequently. My next adventure is to try ombre on my nails." —Ace Harrin

Promising review: "This is a great item. It is big so it feels hardy and luxurious. It is very soft and good looking. I’ve had it for two weeks now and leave it in my shower. I rinse and squeeze it after each use and it’s dry by morning. This would be nice for a baby’s bath. I will definitely consider this for gifts." —Calioc
