    45 Products That Reviewers Called Their “Holy Grail"

    If reviewers dare to call a product their "holy grail", you just *know* it's the best of the best. 🏆

    1. A nail-strengthening cream to help renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.

made their nails so much longer and stronger

    Promising review: "Achieved holy grail status. My entire life I have had very weak nails that split. Regular manicures aren't helpful, neither are supplements or a healthy diet. No underlying health issues to contribute to this. I bought this a month ago on a recommendation. I'm pretty amazed that within three days I saw a significant improvement with the cuticles and my nails have been getting stronger ever since. For the first time ever my nails look healthy and strong and I can wear polish and still see benefits. Some of the reviews talk about a weird cherry smell but I think I have a reformulated one that smells light and pleasant, like shea butter. I have since bought two more...one for the office and one for my car. GAME CHANGER!" —R. Weber

    Get it from Amazon for $7.94.

    2. A pair of cooling pillows that are filled with the softest down alternative to give you a magical night of sleep. They're made of breathable cotton so you won't wake up in the middle of the night drenched with sweat.

    Promising review: "These pillows are amazing. I've been sleeping on them for a month, and they are worth every penny. I've used other pillows that cost far more that were much less comfortable. They're solid, but soft; firm, but fluffy. And the tag is along the top edge, not on the end, so it doesn't poke you or make a rough spot on the edge of the pillowcase. The holy grail of pillows. When washed, they come out uniform and evenly filled, not lumpy or with all of the filling moved to one side. If anything, they felt even better after being washed than before. It does take a while to dry them because the gel filling seems to hold water like a sponge, but a couple of long cycles in the dryer did the trick. I can't speak to their longevity after such a brief experience, but so far there's nothing to complain about." —M. Nichols

    Get a pair from Amazon for $60.91+ (available in two sizes).

    3. A bottle of Tower 28 SOS Spray to rejuvenate and refresh your face throughout the day (with or without makeup) whenever your skin starts to feel a little irritated and starts screaming SOS. The hypochlorous acid, a natural ingredient your skin produces, acts as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial to soothe your beautiful skin.

    Promising review: "Holy grail! I purchased this product a few times because it is just sooo good!! It really helped brighten up my skin and make it feel fresh and healthy. I have some scarring and redness on some areas of my face and I do notice a lot of it has disappeared, which I’m really happy about. I use SOS best at night time before bed. 10/10 recommend :)" —lannnniee

    Get it from Tower 28 or Sephora for $12+ (available in two sizes).

    4. A highly rated pet urine stain-removing spray because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of yelling, "bad dog!" you'll be screaming, "amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that, gone.

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "Let me tell you, I cannot recommend this product enough! I've found my holy grail in combating odors and stains caused by my furry friends. The moment it arrived, I put it to the test and was amazed at how quickly it eliminates stains and odors. This is not just a product, it's magic in a bottle. Pet owners, be ready to have your world turned around. It's a game-changer!" —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    5. A fan-favorite Essence Lash Princess Mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part, the formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it has the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5 AND it has over 239,000 5-star ratings!

    Promising review: "I have found my holy grail mascara! Most days, I dont wear any makeup, except for mascara — this is perfect for that or a more dramatic look. This mascara provides length and volume with a good wand to separate lashes. It dries to a soft, feathery texture. This stuff stays put! It has stood the test of rubbing, itchy/watering eyes from allergy symptoms, crying, running through rain, sleeping in make up — all without smudging, flaking or clumping. This version doesn't claim to be waterproof, though water and my regular cleanser are not enough, I have to use eye makeup remover to clean it off thoroughly." —Lindsey M. 

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    6. A rejuvenating eye cream that uses all-natural and vegan ingredients to help reduce dark circles. Reviewers have claimed that this eye cream has made their bags and fine lines ~vanish~.

    LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.

    Promising review: "Seriously, try this eye cream! Holy grail status. I don’t think I’ve ever left a review on Amazon before. This eye cream is THAT good. I was a makeup artist for years and am still a product junkie. I’ve been using an eye cream daily since I was 19 (over a decade), so have tried lots of brands, and this stuff is phenomenal! It’s now become my go-to cream for my face, eyes, neck, AND décolletage. My skin veers towards dry and I haven’t found a face cream I like as much as this that isn’t $75, so I just use it all over. The jar is big enough for that and a little goes a LONG way. Use this cream twice a day for the eyes — in the morning under the eye and before bed under the eye and also on the eye lid up to the brow bone — and you will fall in love, too." —L.R.

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).

    7. OR a vegan Maybelline dark circle treatment concealer for when you "accidentally" stayed up until 6 a.m. watching Succession but you can't have your boss knowing. It's medium coverage and lasts for up to 12 hours (and keeps your skin moisturized!).

    It has an antimicrobial cushion applicator so you can dispense concealer and immediately apply it without a mess.

    Promising review: "Absolutely holy grail concealer. Look no more!! Great coverage, lightweight, easy to spread. Dries down to a light non greasy skin like texture. Hazelnut and tan are the perfect color for a medium deep woman of color. I have both. Shade already contains salmon correcting pigments which truly combat black or grayish discoloration. Never grey or oxidized and does not shift or crease. My permanent go to forever ever. Surprisingly great unusual applicator that does not over apply or clog. Cannot say enough about how light and skinlike the texture is. A dream for summertime! Buy This Now." —GEM

    Get it from Amazon for $7.69 (available in 18 shades).

    8. A Bug Bite Thing (as seen on Shark Tank) to always keep with you in case those HORRIBLE bugs decide to attack you. Place the suction on top of your bug bite and 🪄abracadabra🪄 — it removes the venom that the evil bug left behind. No more swelling or itching, so you can go about your day without anything bothering you. 

    Promising review: "This is the holy grail for bug bites. Here’s a little tidbit I think everyone should know. On the bites that still itch, use the smaller section side and hold the suction for 30 seconds, if still bothering do again for another 30 seconds. I find that works extremely well for the stubborn bites. I swear once you get the hang of this you’ll want to buy it for all your loved ones and never have one out of reach during the summer months." —Aloni

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in seven colors)

    9. A tube of Youthforia Blush that reacts to the pH of your skin to create the perfect color for your skin tone so you don't have to worry about buying the wrong shade! It's a vegan and cruelty-free blush that's safe to sleep in so if you *accidentally* pass out in it after a long night, that's totally okay!

    Youthforia is a woman-owned small biz that aims to make makeup that's so good for your skin you can sleep in it. The founder, Fiona Co Chan, even tested the blush by sleeping in it for two months! 

    Promising review: "New holy grail. I have seen this product a ton of times on TikTok but have held off on buying it because I found it to be a little pricey. I am soooo glad I ended up buying it because it does exactly what it claims to and is incredibly long-lasting! Feels like skincare going on but holds up like great high end-blush!" —Jordan

    Get it from Ulta or Amazon for $36.

    10. hot-to-cold coffee device for those who need iced lattes even in the winter (guilty!) since it can chill drinks in just 60 seconds. Psst, it can also chill wine — um, yes please!

    Promising review: "This product is my holy grail. I set it up the night before, pour my hot coffee in it in the morning, leave for one minute, and done. It really does make your hot coffee ICE COLD. I’d highly recommend this to all my iced coffee lovers out there :)" —reg

    Get it from Amazon for $11.36+ (available in five colors).

    11. MakeUp Eraser that removes ALL makeup (yes, even waterproof makeup) with just water. WATER. The other side exfoliates your face and afterwards you can just toss it into the laundry with everything else.

    When I found out about The MakeUp Eraser I immediately bought it and I wish I did sooner! I stopped using single-use makeup wipes and I've saved sooo much money. It feels so soft on my skin and all it takes is a few swipes to remove everything. I can use it a few times before washing it and if I don't have a load of laundry to do, I just wash the towel with face wash and everything comes right out!

    Promising review: "This product is the holy grail for makeup removal. Seriously, save your eyes from the tugging and abuse when taking off eye makeup, and just buy this. If you use it with a bit of micellar water, it’s even easier. But I promise, the microfiber material is so much softer on your skin than the cotton cloths. Highly recommend!" —Grace

    Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in 13 colors). 

    12. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper so you can feel like the next Gordon Ramsay. It comes with four interchangeable blades, so this multi-functioning gadget can chop, spiralize, and slice veggies instantly so you don't have to. Plus it has a built-in storage container that'll leave your kitchen ~mess free~.

    Get it from Amazon for $23.95.

    13. A pack of oil blotting sheets that's so lightweight you can bring it with you wherever you go. One sheet is enough for your entire face and will soak up any excess oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh.

    Promising review: "These are my holy grail!!! They absorb oil like nobody's business. I have super oily skin and I use two sheets to get my whole face. I always keep them in my purse. I usually wear a full face and this doesn't disturb my makeup." —Theresa :)

    Get it from Amazon for $6.95 (available in charcoal, green tea, and rose).

    14. A jar of internet-famous The Pink Stuff to remove grease and grime from quite literally any surface, from stoves to bathtubs to even jewelry! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

    A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

    Promising review: Now, I don't necessarily want people knowing my secret. But, 'Batman, I found the holy grail!' Nope, not kidding! This stuff is amazing! I scrubbed with magic cleaners galore, including bleach, and nothing could hold a candle to my magic in the bottle. With a slight switch of the wrist all stains were magically erased and never to be heard from or seen again! I never thought that I would get so excited about a cleaning product but there you have it folks, my mind has been officially blown and I will never be the same again. I would like to thank the person that made this product and applaud their ingenuity. You have changed my life forever." —Star

    15. A bottle of Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant that activates with water to release papain and salicylic acid to help reduce fine lines, fight acne, shrink pores, and brighten your complexion. The colloidal oatmeal in this formula calms skin and reduces the appearance of redness and irritation — um, YES PLEASE.

    Promising review: "Holy grail product! This product is amazing! I have a very oily T-zone and normal/dry skin on my cheeks. This exfoliator is so gentle yet so effective. My oily parts feel clean; dry patches gently scrubbed are smoothed over. My skin feels balanced. The powder is soooo finely milled. This is absolutely worth the price tag. I will forever repurchase this." —misssaaay

    Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $18+ (available in mini or regular size). 

    16. Or a bottle of Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant to help remove dead skin, shrink and unclog large pores, and smooth wrinkles. So many reviewers have raved about it also clearing acne and reducing breakouts. Talk about benefits on top of benefits!

    Promising review: "This!!!! This is my new holy grail product. I decided to switch up my skin care routine and did research on BHAs and this product because I had seen everyone talking about it. I have very very dry, acne-prone skin that also had tons of blackheads on my chin and nose and little bumps (I don’t even know what they were) on my cheeks. I have been using this for around a week and a half and I’ve noticed such a huge difference. The bumps on my cheeks are gone, and the blackheads I had spent years trying to pop or pick out or use pore strips are basically gone. I have no idea how it worked so fast and I am so amazed. I told everyone to buy this and it’s worth it 100%. I am amazed by this. It also does not dry out my skin like I expected it to." —Cameron Stussie

    Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).

    17. Bissell Little Green machine that looks like Mike Wazowski but is no monster — it'll be your bestie. This compact cleaner uses warm water and a specialized liquid cleaner to remove all ~oopsies~ from mud, food, pets, you name it. Reviewers love this product so much that they said they can't live without it.

    Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99

    Promising review: "Holy grail for homes with pets and kids. How did I live so long without this?! I have cream colored couches, pets, and children. Bad combination. This puppy was used to deep clean my couches, and I was shocked at how well it worked! I was able to clean my entire sectional in under one hour. The suction power is extreme, which meant the entire sectional was dry by the time I was done. The tank is huge! I can't believe what came out of my couch! This is also used on my daughter's car seat, our rugs, the dining room table chairs. It has always worked, and continues to blow my mind. My sister's HUGE dog came over and marked its territory on our brand new rug. This bad boy not only saved the day, but left not a sign of Molly's damage!"  —Liz Arrindell

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59.  

    18. A bottle of Cosrx snail mucin essence to help sooth dehydrated skin and reduce dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — It's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin!

    Promising review: "I’m in my 40s and have spent SO much money on skincare in the past few years and have finally found my holy grail. I’m not really sure what this product is supposed to do but for me it felt moisturizing (I live in a hot tropical climate and most true moisturizers leave my face looking oily), cleared up nose breakout, evened out texture, kept oil under control, and even made my blackheads WAY less prominent. It’s got a gooey almost sticky consistency that spreads very smoothly over the face and dries to nothing, I use it before applying my retinoid at night and add a layer after. In the morning I use it before sunscreen (Australian Gold) and don’t need to wear makeup anymore! Believe the hype!" —kaya

    Get it from Amazon for $15.92.

    19. An eyeshadow palette for a glorious makeup look for all skin tones. Reviewers say it's JUST like the Morphe James Charles palette for a *fraction* of the price. With so many vibrant colors, your eyes are sure to ✨pop✨.

    Promising review: "This eyeshadow palette is absolutely STUNNING. There's no other word to describe it, the colors are so freaking pigmented. I'm a total beginner at eye makeup and was looking for a palette that had enough colors for me to play with. This is it, for the price and what you get out of it, it's so worth it. I'm not one who's into name-brand makeup, I can easily use a no-name brand and be very satisfied. This palette is my holy grail product!" —Darlene Bimbai 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    20. A fan-favorite ChomChom hair-removing roller that pet owners swear by. It's just like a lint roller but without the paper so it never runs out. It's designed to pick up pet hair efficiently and once it's locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you throw it away.

    Promising review: "If you have pet hair on everything, this is your holy grail of hair removal.  Countless sticky rolls, tape, damp paper towels, probably every thing hair removal was used on our couches, clothes, blankets etc. to no avail. Getting this has changed everything. We can comfortably sit on our couches again without the stabbing of dog and cat hair making it impossible to enjoy a nice rest. Our couch covers themselves also get the treatment right after washing before putting them back on the couch and they finally look *actually* clean without all the lint and hair littering the covers. This even works with blankets, towels, and I even used it on a (Jansport) backpack! Do yourself a favor and get this if pet hair is everywhere besides on your pet and save yourself hundreds of dollars in sticky lint rollers and roller refills!" —I_will_stop_at_muffin

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 

    21. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover for those stains you forgot were there, or remembered but just couldn't be bothered to scrub out. That's totally okay because, with this stain remover, you can just spray it on an old or new stain and toss it into any load of laundry.

    Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord writes, "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

    Promising review: "Best spot remover I have found. This is the holy grail of spot removers! It’s beyond amazing. I have been able to save shirts that I thought were ruined. Stains that looked permanent and were even set in the dryer, still came out. My son’s white chief jacket had bbq stains, ketchup, and whatnot on it — it took several applications but looks white again. This spot remover is a keeper; I have bought bottles for both of my grown kids cause it’s so darn good." —Linda Fairchild

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    22. A bottle of Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector to repair hair damage and split ends. This also hydrates frizzy hair and can be used on all hair types and textures. Cue the slo-mo hair flip!

    Promising review: "HOLY GRAIL. Works wonders for my hair. Not only does it make my hair soft but it makes it stronger. Hair fall has always been my concern and issue. No. 3 not only makes my hair softer gives it a better feel but it helps with my hair fall! Since I started using this I've noticed less and less hair in the shower and on my comb." —angelicadn

    23. Or Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Mask that hydrates dry hair with its leave-in formula made for ALL hair types! Your split ends are no match for this powerful mask, which could leave your hair shinier and stronger after as little as two uses.

    Get it from Amazon $15+ (available in three sizes).

    24. A heavy-duty grout cleaner so you can finally clean those dark, dirt-filled crevices. Just let it sit on the floor for 10 minutes and scrub all the muck away. 

    Promising review: "This is the holy grail of a cleanser!! Grout is nearly impossible to get clean. My grout is back to how it looked first installed. It says to wait 5-10 mins. Within two minutes I took a brush to it and it was already clean! Use a course cleaning brush but you do not have to scrub hard like some products. Only slight down fall is it is a little slimy so it takes quite a bit of rinses to get it off the floor. With dogs and kids I would definitely recommend a thorough cleanse afterwards because it is commercial grade. Try this!!" —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

    25. Laneige lip mask that hydrates and nourishes your lips overnight. Its berry fruit, shea butter, coconut oil, and murumuru seed formula helps deliver moisture and smooth out lips.

    Promising review: "Holy grail! I recently had a septorhinoplasty. I had packing and tubes in my nose for 11 days. The day after surgery, my normally soft lips were dry and cracked from breathing through my mouth/the surgical breathing tube. This sleeping mask cured my cracked lips OVERNIGHT. It outperformed my Vaseline and smelled better to boot. It kept my lips soft and hydrated for the remainder of the time I had packing in my nose (10 more days of mouth breathing 24 hrs a day). I still use it nightly to keep my lips super soft." —Sephora Customer

    Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $24 (available in six flavors).

    26. An adorable octopus-shaped blackhead remover so you don't have to constantly buy one-time-use pore strips. It exfoliates your skin and removes whiteheads, blackheads, and other impurities.

    27. A TubShroom to catch all the hair before it clogs your drain so you won't be showering in a puddle up to your ankles. This cute little trinket just stays in the shower drain until the hair needs to be removed.

    Promising review: "The holy grail of hair catchers. What did we do before TubShrooms? I'll tell you — I practically owned stock in Drain-O, and even then I was having to pull out gobs of icky hair. The TubShroom drops right in the drain and sticks out a bit to remind you that you've entered bathtub bliss. I have to remove mine of hair very couple of weeks. The hair comes right off and I can dispose of it in the trash." —Holly

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors). 

    28. A bottle of The Ordinary Hydrating Serum that'll give your face the hydration it deserves. The hyaluronic acid and B5 serum locks in moisture and can be used for all skin types. All you need is a few drops to do the trick, so a bottle goes a long way. *Glowing* skin is coming your way!

    Promising review: "Holy grail. My skin abolutely LOVES this product! I've been using this serum for over a year now, day and night. It's really hydrating, and great for my dry skin. My skin started freaking out as soon as I ran out, and therefore I am repurchasing. I recommend using this on slightly damp skin to make it more effective." —Eunicha

    29. A tin of Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser to finally get rid of the mysterious brown gunk that's been caked onto all your cooking appliances. Instead of endlessly scrubbing at the stubborn pile-up, this powder effortlessly removes everything.

    Promising review: "I don't know why this works so well, but it does. It all the gunk off my stovetop and makes it look brand-new!! I'm still learning about how much (or more accurately, how little) to use though. It's a powder, very similar to comet, but without the funny smell. New holy grail kitchen cleaner. ;)" —KatieJames888

    30. A pack of Mighty Patches so you can tackle that pesky pimple (white)head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which speeds up the healing process. Plus it hides pimples and prevents from you from picking at them! It works so well you'll forget that there was even a pimple there.

    Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch and more. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more!

    Promising review: "Holy grail skin saver! I love these so much that I'm on a subscription for them! Feel a bump coming on? Patch that!

    31. An Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to keep your makeup in place for up to 16 hours! So even if you find yourself sobbing after a Titatic watch party, you makeup isn't going anywhere boo!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking several trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) 

    Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that time span: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, a number of meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying a few times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non-waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."

    Promising review: "This setting spray is the holy grail of setting sprays. I work in nightlife and do tend to sweat off my makeup. When I tell you THIS setting spray will literally cause your makeup to stay, it will!! No wiping off , nothing! Everything stays in tact and my face is very oily and it does oil control as well. I recommend spraying your makeup sponge between products as well." —Mel

    33. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and sunflower) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act!

    Promising reviews: "Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I’ve been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it’s made such a difference! It’s basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." —sarah_baerah

    Promising review: "What a difference this stick made in our toilet ring! I wish I had taken photos! A friend posted about how this stick has become a holy grail item in her cleaning caddy...so I thought I would try it out, and now I'm saying the same thing! The stick is literally pumice and it can scratch, so I always make sure the surface is wet when I'm working. I watched YouTube videos before starting and WOW. I'll definitely order again and recommend it to friends." —ninax93

    35. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that actually WORKS. Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers.

    Promising review: "These are my new holy grail. I have always dreaded whitening my teeth due to the fact that I have very sensitive gums. With this it doesn't hurt or cause any sensitivity; as long as you don’t go too close to your gum line it’s fine. Plus I love how this is so easy and convenient to use on the go. Will buy again when I run out." —Amazon Customer

    36. An eyelash growth serum so you don't keep spending $100+ every two weeks getting lash extensions. The serum can help thicken and lengthen your eyelashes — it'll have people wondering if you're wearing falsies.

    Promising review: "This stuff is gold! You guys.... don’t sleep on this. RUN don’t walk. I was skeptical at first so I didn’t apply it every night for the first month until I actually saw results and then I was like ok ok let’s see what you got. Guys. I get so many comments on my eyelashes and people ask if they are fake all the time. This stuff is the holy grail and I’m honestly surprised it isn’t more expensive. Why pay hundreds on name brand when you can get this stuff? Doesn’t make your lashes thin at all and made mine have a natural curl. It looks like I have my extensions back but they’re my real lashes! 10/10" —Amy Miller

    37. waterproof eyeliner stamp because if you're like me and have to redo your wing a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this stamp you won't waste any eyeliner — all it takes is one stamp and DONE!

    One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.

    The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty

    Promising reviews: "Um for real, this is the greatest eyeliner purchase I have ever made in my life. It is so incredibly pigmented and the stamp is incredibly clean and precise. I have seriously hooded eyes and I have struggled forever in trying to get a good wing. This works incredibly well and makes it so I can actually get my eyes even. The actual eyeliner is also very precise making it easy to line my eyes close to the lashes which is another thing I struggle with. The biggest thing though is it doesn't cause irritation. I have some weird makeup allergies where different brands and different eyeliners cause me to feel a burning sensation. I've had issues with Maybelline, Covergirl, and even high-end ones like Lorac and this didn't cause any irritation at all. I have finally found a holy grail eye product and I will 100% be buying again." —monika porch

    38. And a Stila Eyeliner that stays on ALL day — tried and tested by these reviewers! So even if you decide to go to the gym with a ~glam~ look, your cat-eye will stay fierce.

    Promising review: "This is my HOLY GRAIL eyeliner. I put it on every morning at 7:30 a.m. and it doesn't move until I take my makeup off at night. I've swam and played in the ocean in this stuff and it hasn't budged. It removes easily with coconut oil or eye makeup remover, though so you don't have to tug at your eye to get it to come off. I prefer this eyeliner to the Kat von D one because it has a felt tip so the precision is a little better and you always get a good, straight, and opaque black line, whereas the KvD one has a brush tip. This eyeliner is also amazing for doing a lot of different looks. You can do an easy cat eye, a bold black line, or you can do a thin 'no makeup' line close to your lashes. It's not great for tightlining the waterline, though. One pen lasts a long time, too; I usually go through one every six months with everyday use. I've purchased this Stila liner four times now and I will ALWAYS buy it!" —bootsiecat

    39. A hard-water-stain remover because no matter how much elbow grease you've put into scrubbing that eyesore away, it doesn't seem to disappear. This removes stains almost instantly, and you'll save your poor, strained forearms.

    It also works on shower doors, windshields, toilets, and tile, so you can get a ton of bang for your buck.

    Promising review: "Okay, everyone. This stuff is amazing. We have had hard water stains on our glass shower doors for over a year. I’ve tried the vinegar/dish soap concoction, a magic eraser, CLR, method bathroom spray, method daily shower cleaner, scrubbing bubbles foaming bathroom cleaner, etc. etc. CLR was the best in that it helped, but didn’t completely get rid of the stains. Bio-Clean DID!!! I used a scouring pad (which may have been a little tough on the glass, but whatever) and Bio-Clean. The smell is a strong wintergreen smell. Not unpleasant, but not for everyone. I simply put the Bio-Clean onto the pad and scrubbed away. I must say, the cleaner does not suds up, so it takes more product than you’d think. My entire shower stall took about a third of the bottle. Then I rinsed the shower doors and WOW!!! I was squealing with delight and I’m so glad to have found a holy grail product!!" —Jill

    40. A bottle of La Roche-Posay cleanser that purifies skin of all types from excess oils and impurities while also taking off makeup. OVER ~90,000~ dermatologists recommend this brand!

    Promising review: "My skin has always always always caused me issues. I never had intense acne, but lots of spots that couldn't be treated due to my sensitive skin. The overall texture was bumpy and full of blackheads. When I tell you this product has become a holy grail for me....It washes makeup off so there's no need to remove it beforehand (especially if you're sensitive to some makeup wipes and other removers). My skin is hydrated, clear, bright, and my pores appear smaller. A strange thing to mention, but the lid closes well for travel which I have appreciated since most face washes I have travelled with tend to spill all over everything. Cannot recommend this product enough!" —bb2022

    41. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop so you don't have to get on your hands and knees when you clean your floors — sorry, Cinderella, this was after your time. The wringer will remove the perfect amount of excess water, and the mop is designed with a microfiber fabric that is so effective all you need is WATER to clean.

    Promising review: "This is the absolute holy grail of mops. This product picks up far more than any other I have ever owned. The spin function is absolutely wonderful as it allows you to fully control the amount of water/cleaning substances that are applied to the area." —Bailey Walters

    42. A First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub that'll exfoliate dry and rough bumps for smoother skin. This scrub can also help decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan and cruelty-free and safe for all types of skin!

    Promising review: "Holy grail for KP arms and strawberry legs. I have tried EVERYTHING on my KP in the last 30 years, and nothing has ever worked this well and this easily. I use it two or three times a week in the shower and finish with a light moisturizer when I get out. And that's all it took to completely change my skin to silky smooth! I would pay $100 for a tube of this — it would be worth it to me. Total Holy Grail status." —Houston Mommy

    43. A foot file so you can scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin.

    Promising reviews: "I rarely write reviews unless something blows me out of the water or is a huge disappointment, and this is one of the most amazing tools I've ever used. With just one five-minute use my feet feel incredibly soft and refreshed. I wish I took before and after photos because I had very dry/hard/cracked heels and I was truly amazed at how this file scraped it all away SO quickly. I can't even see any cracks any more literally just after that one use. I've tried several pumice stones, lotions and scrubs but this tool is absolutely it, the holy grail for soft smooth feet. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed." —Emily

    44. A pack of deodorant wipes because there is nothing wrong with smelling fantastic everyday. Bring this pack wherever you go and pull one out when you feel like you need to *freshen* up.

    Promising review: "I use these after a long day and they’re not regular freshening up wipes — they have deodorant so when wiping they make you feel fresh and leave you with a cucumber smell! I love these, they’re my holy grail!" —Natalie

    Get it from Amazon for $6.75.

    45. A bottle of Blume Meltdown Acne Oil that nourishes skin instead of drying it out. Use it before moisturizing or mix it in for a full-face coverage. Its rosehip, blue tansy, tamanu, and black cumin seed formula helps to fight current pimples, reduce acne scars, and even helps to prevent future breakouts.
