Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I have a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Miller

Promising review: "I wore this to a festival and it stayed on through infinite sweat there. After the festival, I got hit by a car on the side of the road and after getting pulled out from under a car and going to the hospital, the only intact part of my makeup when I left the hospital was this brow product." —Maddy

Promising review: "I've used plenty of peels and none of them seem to do much, but this product is A M A Z I N G. I no longer have acne but still I have scarring, uneven tone and texture. This product took care of the texture in two uses, improved the look of my pores and evened out the tone. It's given my skin a 'glass-like' appearance, making makeup application so much easier. I've gotten many compliments since using. Also normally when a peel says 'do not use on broken skin' I've ignored it without an issue. DO NOT DO THAT WITH THIS. I had a small pimple I popped before applying and it burned like a mother f*cker." —upstate80

Promising review: "Perfect! Purchased these as a last-minute Christmas gift for my daughter and they arrived super fast. Every single one is perfect, the velvet is soft and they are well made. My daughter absolutely loves them and there is literally a color to go with everything. The colors range from some darks, medium tones, pastels and even some brights. Highly recommend, very very pleased with this purchase!!" —Lisa S

Promising review: "Both my cats seem to love this inexpensive product. Bought on a whim but very pleased. Little need for catnip, with some positive attention and gentle encouragement they started using this groomer and haven't stopped, only when it falls down. Didn't want to use screws and haven't found a lasting adhesive tape that holds up under such constant use. Command strips are on the shopping list." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These little macaron containers are perfect. I am using them for various crafting purposes and to travel. I use them to travel and put my smaller stud earrings in them. I take them with me for paperclips and stuff in office when I have meetings on the go. The colors are very pretty and the quantity is more than adequate for the cost. They are very nicely made and were individually packaged. This is a fun item especially if you are short on space and only need small storage." —Marie70

Promising review: "Wow these are beautiful! I got the pair of pink and black hats. I had no idea the fur ball was interchangeable, so that was a fun surprise. I have zero complaints about these. They're absolutely worth the money and exceeded expectations." —Brandi F.

Promising review: "I bought LilyAna's eye cream on a whim but I'm happy I did. It's a thicker formula that's super hydrating and buttery. It absorbs well into my skin and doesn't just sit on top of the surface all greasy like some other eye creams I've tried. I suffer from sunken-in panda eyes but I really think this stuff has helped! I've been using it nightly for the past few days and I can see a difference. My eyes look brighter and more youthful, which does wonders for my self esteem plus the cream smells delicious which is always good. I definitely really liked the product!" —Nina Fowler

Promising review: "I wear these every day since I have an allergy to most lip balms! They moisturize and offer shine and are a little scented but not horrible. The green is cooling. My favorite is the coco." —Bree Anna

Promising review: "This is just what I wanted! Great for a scalp massage. I wanted a product that would not pull my hair, and did not have hard, plastic seams, to pull or damage my hair. This is it! Very relaxing, to use. It is light, and comfortable to hold. I don't have to worry, about straining my hands, trying to grip this. I can control the amount of pressure perfectly without scratching my scalp. I bought one for my mom, and two for me! Love these. Great gift, for the natural hair enthusiast, or anyone looking for a non-motorized scalp massager." —BunnyLove2

Promising review: "Not only is this introductory book beautifully put together, but the author also helps you to build your own beautiful style! She provides easy-to-follow guides and plenty of room to practice. Overall, she provides the tools a new hand lettering artist needs in their toolbox and references for different alphabet styles that I continuously look at to practice lettering. I’ve been practicing lettering for awhile and have picked up a couple books here and there to practice with, but this book really took my hand lettering to the next level physically and with confidence. I also really appreciate that the author used good quality paper to practice on, as I’ve used other books with poor quality paper that has ruined some of my pens. Definitely recommend this to any and especially new hand letterers!" —Melissa

Promising review: "Classic, simple bar necklace. Wanted something that would go with other gold jewelry, without distracting from fun, statement earrings. This little guy does the trick! Love the personalized touch too. Have worn sleeping and in the shower (oops) and have had no issues with tarnishing or turning my skin weird colors. Very happy with my purchase!" —Emily Berglund

Promising review: "This is by far the cutest idea! I love that this Is a 'mystery box' and what you get is completely random. I think this was a melon type of hat and it fit puurfectly! My cat is rather small but the hat has a good stretch to it and seems decently made as well. If you're thinking about purchasing this just do it, you won't regret it!" —Daniele Pollock

Promising review: "Due to COVID-19, we have to shelter at home and can't really go out much except for groceries and walks. We decided to try our hand at jigsaw puzzles, which we haven't done in years. It was very challenging and fun to assemble this puzzle, given there is no picture of the finished puzzle. Working on the puzzle gave us much needed breaks and took our minds off things. It was quite a challenge to put together and then trying to solve the mystery added another dimension to the fun. We enjoyed it so much, that I'm ordering a couple of more puzzles of this type!" —Ian desert

Promising review: "Right out of the box it was easy to use and I was taking amazing pictures with my iPhone like I never had before. A lot of power in a tiny package; it's easy to slip into my purse or pocket and I take it with me everywhere my phone goes so I'm always ready to grab the perfect shot. Love it!" —Allison C.

Promising review: "I have no earthly idea why this works, but it brought me back from the dead after an 11-day headache. I found it worked better to rub it all over my hot pack, zap it in the microwave, and wrap it around the base of my neck. The aromatherapy was great, and it dulled my headache enough to restore my will to live. 5/5" —Katie B.

Promising review: "Super cute hair clips! I have bright pink hair so I wanted to have something cute but not over-the-top to accessorize and keep hair out of my face. I like that some are clips and some are barrettes. I might purchase an additional set so that I can have matching clips in my hair." —Michael

Promising review: "TREAT YOURSELF. This is the cutest thing on my vanity dresser. The elephant holds about five rings on its trunk and you can put others on its tusk. I even put my hair ties on it. Very cute and functional and barely occupies space and heavy enough that it doesn't budge with all the weight on it." —Amanda C.

Promising review: "I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I think this product deserves it. I am an eyeliner snob and have been a long time user of Tarte's Double Take eyeliner. I loved the applicator tip and the vivid black color. A makeup loving friend of mine recommended I give the NYX Epic Ink Liner a try and WOW. I was blown away. The black shade stays intense and lasts ALL DAY. Literally, all day. I put my makeup on at 5 a.m. and by the time I get home, it still looks like I just applied it. The best part: I am getting the same results at one-third the cost. Buy. It. Now. You won't be disappointed." —Shelly Tiller

Promising review: "This product is so awesome! I got it because I was so tired of drawing my winged eyeliner and it almost always never being the same on both sides. With this it makes it super easy and fast to get that winged eye liner. I use this all the time and it lasts throughout the day. It is waterproof but not so much so that it’s impossible to get off, which is nice. I definitely recommend this if you just want to do your makeup fast." —NH

Promising review: "These masks are amazing!!! Having 'ice pick' scars left over from acne I was told that I'd have to pay for expensive laser therapy because the body can't produce enough collagen to heal deep scars. I've been using these masks for two months and I've seen SIGNIFICANT reduction in my scars. They are almost completely gone!" —Shaun
