This has 16 colors. The moon itself is true to the actual moon's surface and texture. It can be controlled by touch or by remote and runs on a rechargeable battery. You can charge the lamp on your computer, power bank, or wall outlet.
Promising review: "I remember seeing something like this listed for over $50. I wanted one so badly because I'm obsessed with the moon and thought it would be a beautiful thing to have as a night light, but I'm cheap and didn't want to spend that much. Well, here came this listing and OMG I love it! I love how many colors you have control over and the fade function is my favorite to use. It's real easy to set up; you just have to charge it with the provided USB charger. The remote works as soon as the moon is removed from the charger and AHH it's so cool! It can really set the mood for whatever you're going for. I enjoy the detail on the actual moon; all the bumps and grooves add to the realism while the colors make it fun and interesting. You can have a 'moon-color' warm or white light too. I am so happy with this purchase!" —Tiffini

Promising review: "Sweet six pound baby Jesus, you need this!!! Oh. My. Aminal-Loving-God!! Some genius in my household decided a chocolate micro suede sectional would be ideal. Sure, except we have a 20-pound cat, a golden-German Shepard mix, and a corgi. Needless to say, our battle with hair on the couch is never-ending and let’s be real, arguing with the vacuum daily is exhausting. This handheld magical hair-eating wizard is the most amazing (and yet so simply made) invention EVER!!! No, I am not being paid for a review, I just am in love with this gadget! You simply rub back and fourth and VOILA!! It takes a 10-minute vacuum struggle and turns it into a fun three-minute job. Can we say win win?!?! BUY THIS!! If you love your pets but also love sitting on a couch without hair ending up in your mouth at some point...BUY IT!! If you’d like for your guest to be able to sit down without wearing your unintentional fur jacket, get this! If you want your tiny human to pick up a chore...this is it. This IS the holy grail all pet parents need!" —Kerkers

Promising review: "I'm 27 and this is my second time purchasing these masks. I use these about once every other week or so. I have seen drastic improvements in my skin. After one use my skin was not nearly as dry and flaky. My face seemed a lot more supple and plump as well. After continued use, I have noticed my fine lines on my forehead are less noticeable and the overall texture of my skin is more smooth compared to bumpy looking. I also noticed I don't look as tired even though I'm exhausted lol. My uneven skin tone has improved and my face has brightened some. I live and work in the city and I think you can tell by my skin appearance but after using these my skin looks fresh, soft, and has a nice glow to it even after one use. I will continue to keep these masks stocked in my vanity." —Rachel

Promising review: "Get one of these, they're magical. I la la LOVE this folder. I love it so much, I have gifted friends with it. On the occasions I fold other people's clothing or they see my folded piles, they remark on the impeccable consistency and nice lines. It speeds up the folding process (and kinda makes it more fun) while also providing a consistent flat fold, which makes organizing easier. If you fold clothes, you should have THIS folding board. It's very sturdy but yet folds down thin for easy storing. Perfect product." —K. Avalos

Promising review: "I really liked this product because it gave me significant results in just a few days. I have tried other whitening products but I definitely think this one is my favorite because its not only easy to use but also works very well. There is also no weird aftertaste, and all I do is keep my mouth open wide for around 30 seconds. The whitening capabilities were also great, and I know this because my teeth were stained before but now they are not. Lastly these pens were very easy to use because all you have to do is twist the dial at the bottom of the pen clockwise, and product comes out. So overall I would rate this pen a 10/10 and I am definitely planning on buying more in the future." —Roy Joseph

An introduction describes how to etch the scenes for best results, and examples of finished pieces are included so you can reference them.
Promising review: "This is definitely different than the normal scratch-off books and it is testing my creative abilities. I'm normally one to enjoy following the lines, but with this, the end result is entirely up to you. There is no right or wrong! While on some pages there is more to detail than others, I think this purchase was well worth it. I think it is really helping me to think outside the box and to concentrate more on the negative space and what I can do with it. For anyone who loves scratch books, here is a product to change how you look at it!" —kayla

It works on stains from grass, berries, blood, sweat, oil, tomato sauce, watermelon, red wine, mud, cosmetics, pet accidents, and more. Wanna know more on why we love it? Check out our Puracy Natural Stain Remover review!
Promising review: "This stuff is straight magical. It has gotten out tattoo ink, wine, blood, marinara, whiskey, coffee, and other liquids and foods from white and cream colored clothes. I have used it on those weird spots that show up on your clothes when you don’t let the water run before you add the soap and then clothes. Gone like they never happened. This stuff works on pet accidents, child activities, and other spill-able enterprises. It’s also all natural. I keep a small spray bottle of it in my purse. It has come in very handy for not only myself. Whoever invented this, you have my deepest thanks." —Catie

All you have to do to "set" it is soak the bear in water for 20 minutes, dry the outside of it, and plop it in with your brown sugar. It also works on baked goods, cakes, cookies, marshmallows, and dried fruit!
Promising review: "Had a large amount of brown sugar and couldn't keep it soft even in a tight container. I purchased new 5-quart jars for my flour, sugar and so forth and quickly realized my brown sugar was a ROCK! I purchased this, soaked it, and placed it in the sugar as instructed. Within hours it was soft again, which was amazing to me! I have about two pounds of sugar in the 5-quart jar currently. The jar is sealed gasket but I haven't had to resoak the bear yet (only a month in use currently). Would recommend to anyone at this point, just mad I have wasted so much brown sugar over the years." —diosa

Check out our Elizavecca Milky Piggy Bubble Clay Mask deep dive to learn more!
Promising review: "I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. I'm just not usually THAT impressed. That being said, I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle, but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning my skin glowed. I have used it a few times since, not much gunk to push to the top now but can see the pores are empty. Def will be buying more, especially for Christmas presents." —Alice D.

Promising review: "Kitty loves it! Never had a cat before and then I brought in a 10-year-old stray from my old apartment. He is the sweetest cat ever and I fell in love with him so wanted to spoil him. He loves it even more than I could have hoped. Spends several hours a day sleeping or just perched on it and hits it with his claws every time he jumps on. So adorable. Have had it for a couple months and it's held up really well. Cool that when the top is worn out I can just flip it over and it's like having a brand new scratcher again. He's a pretty big/long cat so I was unsure how well he'd fit on it but it's absolutely perfect. Will definitely be buying another if this one ever wears out!" —Super Bon Bon

Twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush onto the gem to clean!
Promising review: "So I was skeptical about purchasing this despite all of the good reviews because how could a $6 solution possibly compare to a professional cleaning...BUT, wow!!! I am so impressed with how shiny and clean this pen got my wedding set. Years of grime came off with a few minutes of scrubbing the solution into my diamond and it now looks like new! If you’re on the fence, try this! The value is unbeatable and it is super easy to use. Definitely my new holy grail ring cleaner." —Stephanie W

Promising review: "I brought this book to help me do some shadow work along my spiritual journey. By shadow work I mean, looking deep into myself and addressing the bad and the ugly. This book is helping me so much! Brings out a lot of emotions and makes me think about things I never considered important or would have thought would be impacting my life. Once I finish the pages I can handle, I sit back and reflect on what I just answered. I’m enjoying it so much that I’ve ordered one for my mom and brother as well. This is a book I will highly recommend to anyone that needs a push in the right direction for self healing." —Lo

I love using this oil after showers! It leaves my skin super moisturized, all gleamy, and with a lovely light tropical scent that lasts so I don't even need perfume after. The moisture lasts almost all day for me so I never feel like I need to reapply. Dry skin is just not a thing when you have this oil with you.

Promising review: "This thing is seriously magical. It really works. I get large painful welts with mosquito bites and they itch like crazy. Not only is the itching gone, but the bites are as well. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but pretty easy to figure out. Don’t suction to the point of discomfort. Follow the instructions. I did each bite a few times and then wiped my ankle off with a wet rag. I would pay a million dollars for this thing, but it’s only $10." —Kyrston Clouse

Whenever I wear this, it melts in and doesn't just stay on top so it really does look like part of my skin, which I love. Plus, a blush that's good for your skin? I'm sold!

Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I am an African American woman with very curly hair. I love getting waxed but had the worst hair bumps. I discovered this product. Its directions are to use once every day after taking a shower and drying off and the hair bumps were gone after two days. The bottle is small but I can’t go without it now. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. I highly recommend." —ambr78709

Reviewers warn that it's quite bright so adjust it and don't look into the light directly.
Promising review: "This light is so cool. Probably one of the coolest Amazon purchases I have ever made. If you're a '90s kid and had those glow in the dark sticky stars, you absolutely need this light. I bought it as an impulsive birthday cheer-me-up quarantine present for myself. And I'm not disappointed. I've used it everyday day for like two weeks." —Chelsea

I have this in several colors and always love how it colors my lips and lasts all day without me having to reapply because of the stain effect. You don't need to worry if the color is there. If your lips feel dry, just rub some lip balm over them — the color stays! You can also build up the color for intensity or swipe it once and blot for a natural-looking gradient stain.
Promising review: "I've been looking for a good, long-lasting tint for a while now and have been disappointed nearly every single time. Most of the products would fade or go on really unevenly, causing me to have to reapply multiple times. Not these! These stay on through both food and drink (I've tested them with sandwiches, soup, soft drinks, water bottles, etc.) AND smooth over any dry areas on your lips to make them look really soft and not chapped at all. The applicator also makes it really easy to get the product exactly where you want it. I have long days from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and I usually only reapply once or twice — and even then, it's only necessary when I've been doing some hardcore stress eating. I've finally found my holy grail lip tint!" —Wendy K.

Each pack comes with 48 spikes.
Promising review: "These are the best supplements for your plants. [My] plant was dying and had lost most of its leaves. I didn't want to re-pot it because the plant had already grown. But I didn't want it to die either. Buying the miracle grow indoor plant feeder sticks was a last ditch effort to save this guy and it worked! The fertilizer sticks are easy to use, you just push them into the soil and water. Your plants will flourish once you start feeding them these little guys. I highly recommend this product for happy healthy plants and for plant owners that don't want to re-pot!" —Crystal

It really looks amazing and I've gotten so many compliments from everyone who has seen me wearing it.

Remember those cars that scooted around after you pulled them back to wind 'em up? This device is kind of like that. After you fill it with garlic, simply roll it around to chop up the garlic. It saves time and fingers.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this little gadget! I had a couple of the regular sized GarlicZooms for a while now and loved their usefulness, so I decided to get the XL. I will never look back! The smaller ones can only handle a few cloves of garlic at a time. I tried four cloves with the XL and it could've handled twice that easily. It chopped them up so fast with no problems. I know there's a lot of 'I can chop my own garlic' folks out there and that's fine. I love garlic, but loathe chopping it. I hate the way you can't get rid of the smell from your hands. So this little gadget works wonders!" —Lindiana Jones

I have the palette in "Dusk" and my favorite shade is the pretty pink in the middle row, on the right. It's wonderfully sparkly, works well with the matte shades, and I love putting it all over my lids because it compliments my skin tone so much. The glitter is not at all garish; more like when the light hits your eyes, you'll look dazzling but in a natural, delicate way. You know?

BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by these:
"WHY didn't I buy these vacuum storage bags sooner?? I've only put them into several posts, and scrolled through the before + after review photos a million times, thinking 'man that would really help with my closet.' But it wasn't until I gazed in horror at the volume of sweaters I need to somehow store in my overflowing closet that I FINALLY hit 'add to cart.' Just one large bag was plenty to store nine or 10 *very* large winter sweaters — all collapsed down to a fraction of their size. And it was surprisingly effortless, too! I just used the included hand pump, and it took maybe three minutes max to pump out the air and shrink the bag before replacing the cap — easy peasy! And no danger of re-inflation. My closet game is forever changed!!! All I can say is thank you Maitland, for actually taking your own advice for once."
