    33 Products That Work So Well You'll Be Talking About Them All Year

    There's always time to talk about the wonders of dishwasher-cleaning tablets.

    1. Some washing machine cleaning tablets if you keep your washing machine open when it's not in use, yet it still smells moldy. What gives? These will clean and freshen the inside while dissolving stinky residue.

    2. A Revlon hot air brush to help you go from wet, tangled, frizzy hair to a shiny, salon-worthy blowout in minutes. FYI this is the hot air brush that all the influencers you follow on IG are raving about because it is just 👏 that 👏 good 👏.

    3. A teeth-whitening pen because it's a heck of a lot quicker (and tastes a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    4. A set of wad-free pads from Shark Tank for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. If you've ever opened the dryer expecting...well...dry sheets, only to find them tangled in a damp ball, you need this. Doing the bare minimum = having to dry your bedsheets only once.

    5. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.

    Before: a dirty shower floor; after: the clean shower floor

    6. A nail file board that'll keep your dog's claws from becoming overgrown. This is like an emery board for your pooch and is great for pups who cannot handle clippers or grinders.

    7. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara if every mascara you've tried has disappointed you. Meet Essence's Lash Princess mascara. It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, holds a voluminous curl, and lasts all day — what more could you ask for?

    8. And a lash serum to help give you the look of lash extensions without the triple-digit price tag. This miracle in a bottle is stuffed with amino acids, peptides, and vitamins that may make your lashes look longer and thicker.

    9. A pair of super soft high-waisted leggings, because they'll be the comfiest thing you wear all year. More than 51,000 people have given them a 5-star review and say they're definitely opaque so you can live your best life without worrying about showing everyone your underwear.

    10. An acne patch for those days when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil are gentle on the skin while still drawing out fluids and pus from your pimple.

    11. An allergy supplement so your poor pup can find relief from itchy skin and allergies. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients said to help improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.

    12. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks that'll truly terrify you at first, because you'll look like a zombie once you've applied it — and because it's so darn effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

    Reviewer before and after showing the mask made their skin look tighter and reduced the appearance of some wrinkles

    13. A Home Chef subscription if mealtime is a constant source of anxiety — whether it's because you don't know what to make or you don't have time to make it. Choose the meals you want each week and you'll get all the ingredients shipped to your door. Recipes can be finished in as little as 15 minutes so you can add "accomplished chef" to your résumé. They also offer ready-made meals in case you just don't have the time, energy, or inclination to cook.

    14. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover to defeat stubborn soap scum and residue that's bested all your other attempts to scrub it away. It's biodegradable so the scent won't singe your nose hairs and make you gag, plus it's safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, granite, stainless steel, marble, brass, and porcelain.

    15. An odor-eliminating spray because a few spritzes on the stain your pet's "present" left behind will save you from smelling pee every time you walk into the living room. Each spray releases bacteria that feed on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again.

    16. A pair of super-absorbent period underwear for handling your business without leaving you feeling like you're wearing a wet diaper.

    17. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can restore your walls and dressers when your little ones go Baby Picasso on your furniture with a permanent marker.

    18. A cruelty free vitamin C serum that'll give your skin a much-needed pick-me-up. Just listen to the 44,000+ people who gave it a 5-star review: this stuff brightens, softens, and dramatically fades hyperpigmentation.

    19. A dewy lip tint if you binge-watched the K-drama True Beauty and want a makeup transformation as wow-worthy as Ju-Gyeong's. This is the same lip stain that she uses in the show! And for all the folks who have no idea what I'm talking about, just know that this lippie is designed to moisturize (thank you argan oil) while lasting all dang day.

    20. A pancake batter mixer to help you to whip up hotcakes in whatever fun shape you desire (and your art skills allow for). Just add your wet and dry ingredients to the bottle and give it a good shake. No need to dirty every bowl and utensil you own! There's a blender ball inside to ensure everything gets mixed.

    21. An easily washable drip catcher because the counter space between the back of your faucet and the wall is a puddle of water after you wash the dishes. This absorbent mat sits snugly around your faucet so the back section of your sink area stays dry.

    22. A clever sight word Bingo game for helping your little munchkin grow their vocabulary in a way that doesn't make you want to rip out your hair in frustration.

    23. A wood polish so you can hide the scratch marks from your dog's overgrown nails along the bottom of your doors and on your wood floor.

    24. Dishwasher cleaning tablets that'll do practically all the work for you — no scrubbing needed! Say goodbye to having to wash your dishes and plates again by hand because they're coated in mysterious white crusty bits.

    25. An air purifier if you feel personally victimized by seasonal allergies. This bad boy removes dander, mold, dust, and pollen in the air to help you breathe better.

    26. A powerful glycolic acid peel to help improve texture, reduce fine lines, and soften skin. Glycolic acid helps sort of unglue skin cells, so the softer, brighter layer underneath can emerge. But it can be a bit irritating to your skin so start slowly — especially because this peel also contains retinol, a collagen-boosting ingredient that can make your skin more sensitive.

    27. A pack of AirPod cleaners because you wanna clearly hear your true crime podcast. Squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality. That goop!

    28. And a set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets for ensuring your foods emerge perfectly cooked instead of still raw or burned to a crisp because you guesstimated the cook time.

    29. A genius humidifier tank cleaner so you can go longer between washes. Hate refilling the water tank only to realize it's coated with a thin layer of slime and sludge? Same! This fish-shaped cartridge swims around the water tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days.

    30. An eyeshadow trio that'll take the guesswork out of matching shades. These portable pots offer incredible color payoff, reviewers say, and are a K-beauty fave!

    31. A leather-cleaning brush if you haven't cleaned your Ugg boots since *last* winter and they're looking a little worse for wear. This lil' guy can be used four different ways to clean scuff marks, water spots, and invisible dust.

    32. A lightweight primer to give your makeup a smooth, even surface so it stays all day. It's made with green tea extract and collagen to protect and moisturize the skin.

    Promising review: "I have large pores and putting this on smooths out the pores and fine lines. I also still break out. I'm in my 40s, and this has helped my concealer stay on better and longer. All my makeup lasts all day and then some. I still have powder in place even wearing a mask all day. My makeup never did this before I started using this miracle in a bottle. And the best thing is I don't have to use a lot." —Rachael

    33. Some stain-removing tablets because spending your Sunday scrubbing wine stains on your shirt from Saturday's movie night is for silly billies. Toss one in with a regular load and your whites will emerge dramatically whiter.
