Promising review: "I work at a gym, so I know good activewear when I see it. This is fantastic, I recommend it to anyone who comes into the gym who can't afford the super expensive stuff they sell! I weigh 180 pounds, I'm 5'0", and carry most weight in my thighs, so, pants like these can be horrible, either see through or too tight on the thighs, BUT these are perfect. They're opaque and solid. And fit perfectly around my thighs AND waist. I'll be buying more of these for work." —Chassidy

Promising review: "You cannot go wrong with this wire. The thing is very heavy and well made for a lightning wire. The ones you get from Apple are not only overpriced, but far inferior compared to these. You can just feel and see the quality of this wire. I can't comment on longevity at this time, but I highly suspect that this will last me years." —Arok5

Promising review: "Used this on my dad's nose, he is 48 years old and has never done a pore strip and this three step process worked amazingly, let me tell you. It got out SO MANY blackheads it was ridiculous and you could tell it pulled out the full blackhead because you could see red in the holes in his nose. Amazing product, me and my sister are going to try them on ourselves next. His nose felt soft, too—after the 3rd step! I really feel like that 1st step really makes the difference between this product and other pore strip products." —Scott

The tips are extremely fine, and so far I have used these pens on computer paper, regular stationary paper, journals, composition books, magazines, and in adult coloring books, and they did not bleed through any of the mentioned paper." —VR

Price: $24.05

Promising review: "I tried it on my nose to see if it will work on my blackheads and HALLELUJAH! My nose has never been cleaner and/or clearer than this. It has taken out what seemed to be permanent black heads on my tip that no pore strips have ever managed to remove. It also just gave me a deeper clean than ever before. Additionally, this product makes total sense because, unlike pore strips, the gel consistency allows you to shape the product around your nose how you want it, so it can take out the gunk in the hard to reach areas. Pore strips just don't allow this much flexibility." —Aisha Kibwana

Price: $8.49

Promising review: "One of the best things I have purchased in the past decade, hands down.This makes Pokemon Go so much easier: I'm no longer accidentally dropping my phone or launching it across the room! I keep my phone propped all the time now and I purchased a new phone case and the PS transferred with absolutely zero issues, just as sticky as day. I'm beyond thrilled with this product and will continue to tell ANYONE who will listen about it." —Sammi

Price: $9.99

54. Oil-absorbing sheets that come in such a sweet container, you'll actually want to have a greasy forehead.

Promising review: "This has to be one of the cutest things ever to be in a makeup bag or purse. So useful and helpful!

You couldn't ask for a better way to take the shine out of your face when it starts to get later in the day and oil starts to appear." —Nichole Spence

Price: $15.99

55. Itsy bitsy strings of lights that are attached to corks (so you can turn empty bottles into lamps).

Promising review: "This little guy puts out an impressive amount of heat. It won't heat a large or medium sized space, but if you need to heat under your desk or very near your person, it definitely puts out the heat.
