Sounds magical! And let me tell you — it is. Get one of these egg-cellent appliances ASAP.
Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there...peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life?!?!?" —rebecca

It comes with an insert that you can place in the freezer until you're ready to use it. Just place it into the pitcher after pouring in your coffee (or other hot drinks) and wait for up to two minutes!
Promising review: "I love this thing for making iced coffee!! It's awesome! It instantly chills my beverage without watering it down and is such an easy concept! I usually rinse mine off right away and store it back in the freezer so it's ready to use again! Definitely recommend!" —Suejung

It has 20 brightness settings that slowly increase over 30 minutes in the morning so you rise "with the sun." The alarm goes off once it's at full brightness.
Promising review: "Life-changing is not an exaggeration. Mornings with my phone alarm usually consisted of me hitting snooze five or six times and not getting out of bed for almost an hour after I planned to. I couldn't get out of bed on time, and when I did manage to roll out, I was groggy and didn't feel like I'd rested, even after seven or eight hours. Then this wake-up light came along. Every morning so far, I have woken up when I'm supposed to, feeling like I've slept 10 hours on a weekend even when it's six hours on a Tuesday. I'm even awake before the alarm sounds. I've got an extra hour in my day, plus all the time I save by getting out before morning rush traffic. I never understood those people who are ready to roll first thing in the morning, and now I'm one of them." —J. Garner
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
Promising review: "I usually just pull my hair back when I do anything skincare-related, but this makes skincare more fun. The thing I love most about it is how soft it is. It's not just cute and affordable; it's also super soft. After showers, I wear this to bed, and in the morning I wake up with tamed hair. Otherwise after I brush my hair and go to bed, I wake up with my hair all over the place. The white gives it a fresh look. It will fit on anyone's head, because of the rubber band. To be honest, I keep mine close to my bed at all times. It's just so comfortable to walk around my house with it on even when I'm not doing my skincare. It just keeps my hair out of my face for every task I am doing." —dragonflymemento
Get it from Amazon for $5.80.
Plus, this is shatter-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and comes with an ice cube tray and funnel! ANDDD it's quiet, so you'll feel comfortable making your smoothie at work.
Promising review: "I was on the hunt for a silent personal blender because mine is so loud and annoying to clean every morning when I just want one little drink. This little baby came up and it changed my life. MY LIFE. I blend it in my room and my roommate never hears it (we share a wall, too). I can take it to class and just throw it in my bag to clean when I get home. Saves a lot of time, and for $30 it’s pretty amazing." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in five colors).
Reviewers say they blend in with their skin so they can wear them throughout the day!
Promising review: "I’ve been experimenting with these for the last month and a half, and I am in love. They are really thin and blend into my highly freckled face incredibly well...I have gone out in public twice with them on, because when I did my last second mirror check before I got out of the car, I didn’t notice I had them on! While they absolutely help clean out the skin underneath, the biggest thing it does for me is stops me from touching my face. When I'm stressed out, I will absentmindedly touch/run my hands along my face and jaw constantly. Now, when I notice I’m doing that, I run into the bathroom and put these on any spots I have. Since they are thin and stick really well, I am able to leave them alone and stop touching my face." —MelsBells

Promising review: "I’m a hairstylist, so I’ve tried just about every leave-in conditioner out there, and I was amazed at how soft my hair felt after one use. My curls were so happy! The smell is amazing too!! I will definitely be repurchasing." —Allison

Reviewers advise to size up so your cat will fit comfortably!
Promising review: "I'm not really a cat lady (yet) but someone anonymously sent this to me (or so I tell people) when I got a new dog, an older rescue who had never been around cats. The dog is not mean to her but the cat finds it disturbing that she can't sit in my lap without a giant German shepherd staring at her from three inches away. Like imagine if you were trying to sleep and a creature whose head was bigger than your body was hanging over you. So, into the 'roo pocket she goes and she will stay there for hours. Sometimes I have to call in sick to my job because the cat won't let me change out of the roo. It's not forbidden to wear a 'roo to work but it might make people not take me very seriously so I only go to work on the days the cat says I can. Seriously this is the dorkiest thing ever and I look really stupid in it but I love it for real." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXXL and seven colors).
Promising review: "I was looking for a good soap for soap brows for so long! I have super dark brow hair and the problem I have with most bar soap is it will get super sudsy and white. This product did not! It was amazing and left my brows in whatever direction I wanted!!!" —Savannah

Promising review: "I had gone through two other coffee warmers in a month, both of which got raving reviews on Amazon but barely kept coffee warm for 30 minutes. So I decided to splurge on this more expensive one. BEST DECISION EVER! Not only does it keep your coffee warm, it keeps it HOT on the highest setting. It does an excellent job at keeping your coffee hot for as long as you want, PLUS it is super easy to turn on and off. When you turn it off, it displays the lowest hot setting light to show you the plate is still hot so no unsuspecting burns. This is hands-down the best option on the market." —Elizabeth Harris
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six colors).
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it, we all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

When I wore this, it gave me the prettiest natural-looking flush, and it actually lasted me the whole day, which is a miracle for my combo-oily skin. It really looks like it's part of your skin rather than sitting on top, and I love that it's good for your skin too! Plus, if two people with the same skin tone apply the blush, they'll both get a slightly different color! How cool is that? This contains 20 plant-based, antioxidant-rich oils that help nourish skin.

They are passionate about being environmentally-friendly and not using fossil fuels or gross toxins in their products.
Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glow-y color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer
Get it from Youthforia for $36.

BuzzFeed editor AnaMaria Glavan uses this and raves about it! Here's what she has to say:
"This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawered thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I didn't even bother counting. But the real winner winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don't have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer."

Read our full review of the Instant Pot!
Promising review: "I looked at this item for a long time before I finally decided to buy it. What I don't need is another device in my house, but I use my crockpot almost every weekend and loved the idea that I could cook stuff so much quicker with the Instant Pot. I had a frozen salmon fillet and this was one of the selling points, that you can cook frozen food and it will be just fine. I put the filet on the rack and cooked it for four minutes. I didn't use any seasonings. The salmon was perfect and so yummy! I couldn't believe it. Over the weekend I made chili and mac 'n' cheese. The chili only took 14 minutes after browning the meat and the mac and cheese took four minutes. I love this so much. I can't wait to cook more items using the different functions." —Debo

Promising review: "I have always hated blow-drying my hair. It takes foorrevvverrr. It's too loud. It leaves my hair frizzy and I have to straighten it afterward. This hot air brush is LEGIT. It's basically a round brush but with an efficient and quiet blow-dryer built in. It takes me about half the time (30 minutes) to dry my hair that it would take to blow-dry and straighten. And my hair looks amazing! So much less frizz. So much more body and bounce than straightening. It stays full all day. It looks shiny. It looks healthy. If you are ever again in the market for a blow-dryer, replace it with this." —MrsEveland

This is vegan and cruelty free.
Promising review: "Just received this. In the package it looks more pink than coral but when applied its true coral color comes through. I see this lasting quite a long time, as just a simple pat of the top sheer-stripe picks up enough pigment for my lips and one cheek. Just love this and can't wait to try other products!" —BostonChic35

Check out our Takeya Cold Brew Maker review to learn why my colleague loves it so much, and see what won our picks for the best cold brew makers that we tried and tested ourselves!
Promising review: "I don't know how I ever functioned without this. It's my first cold coffee brewer. I'm usually a daily drive thru cold coffee drinker. I haven't purchased a coffee for two weeks since having this! I found it super easy to brew. I usually just add milk and a flavored liquid creamer. I also made a simple syrup and use that with a little milk sometimes. I haven't made a single glass of iced coffee that I couldn't drink. So simple! Don't hesitate to try it!" —Jennifer
