1. A pack of fast-acting hydrocolloid patches to help keep you from picking at your skin while it heals. Its vegan and cruelty-free formula absorbs secretions and helps reduce inflammation.
Peach Slices is a small skincare business making K-beauty products that are gentle and use natural ingredients.
Promising review: "I am a woman in my 30s who still gets breakouts. I also have dry sensitive skin so most acne treatments just irritate my skin and cause it to get really flaky. These little patches are a miracle. It comes with different sizes. They stick so well. I slept in them and they didn't budge. And you can't even see them. I had to really inspect my face to find out where I put all of them when it was time to remove. All of my acne was gone within two days, and the stickers did not irritate my skin." —Brittany P

2. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic "flossing toothbrushes" with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.
Get a pair from Mouthwatchers on Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack).
3. A jar of O'Keeffe's foot cream for an instant boost in moisture. If your feet are dry, cracked, and rough, this cream can help prevent further moisture loss. Give your feet a little lovin'.
Promising review: "Someone called this spackle for the cracks in your feet and they were hilariously correct. I had a painful crack that was bleeding from a trip to Europe (sandals + dry air + walking all day). I tried to heal it for about four weeks after I got home with little to no luck. After about four days of applying this stuff, it was completely healed and my feet have never been so soft! I can skip the harsh pumice scrubbing and maintain soft feet. Bless." —Madison
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. An EcoTools makeup brush cleansing shampoo because the black eyeshadow brushes you've been using used to be white. This hypoallergenic shampoo will return your brushes and sponges to their former glory.
Promising review: "I hate washing my brushes. I've always done it by hand and it's always caused the big fluffy powder brushes to feel rougher or become matted no matter how hard I try to reshape them. I got this solution and used it with a makeup brush spinner, and I couldn't BELIEVE how amazing my brushes were afterwards! I also have sensitive skin and most any soap I put on a brush will cause me to breakout when I use it later, no matter how well I typically rinse it. But I really think that this cleaner + the brush spinner worked great and I haven't had any sensitive bumps on my skin since using them!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available as dissolving cleansing cloths).
5. A long-lasting mascara formulated to give you bold and intense lashes even *you* will think are falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please!
Promising review: "I NEVER write reviews unless I either really love something or hate it, and I LOVE THIS MASCARA. I am a mascara fanatic; I buy mascara constantly, always trying to find the best one. So, this mascara is super cheap and the best one I've bought so far. This mascara doesn't clump (unless you don't know what you're doing) and it has great volume and thickness. You can use one coat to be subtle or you can keep building it up. It also lasts all day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! It's a steal. Better than all the higher-end mascaras I've tried and the drug store ones. I will most definitely be buying another one when my current one runs out." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
6. A nail-strengthening cream that'll condition your cuticles and could help prevent chipping and cracking. Made with calcium, vitamins, hydrogenated jojoba oil, and a coconut scent, this formula may help your nails grow to new lengths!
Promising review: "I really like this product! This is my third purchase. I have tried so many different nail strengtheners without much luck. I wash my hands very often at work and my nails wouldn't stop peeling and cracking. I have been putting this on before bed most nights and it has helped my nails become so much stronger and healthier than they were!" —Cheyenne Starkey
Get it from Amazon for $7.94.
7. A toilet tank cleaner whose citric acid formula works to remove hard-water deposits and other stains in your toilet tank without any elbow grease needed. Get rid of stubborn odors with this safe-on-pipes cleaner.
Promising review: "This stuff is magical!! I had tried so many different ways to get the tank clean. Poured this in the tank — boom — the stains from years of use were gone!! Will buy again." —Theresa Blansit
Get it from Amazon for $5.28.
8. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!
Promising review: "I don't write many reviews and I was totally skeptical but OMG I'm in love! I've purchased so many products to try to clean the marks in my sink and nothing worked. I used it on my stovetop and was amazed how well it cleaned it that I moved on to my sink." —Christina
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
9. Tide sink packs so you can do your laundry in a sink if you're traveling to a place with no washing machine.
Promising review: "Some in our party were forced to check their carry-on bags due to lack of space on the plane. Our connecting flight then got canceled and we ended up on a different plane. Some of the bags didn’t make it and these Tide sink packs SAVED US! We were able to keep a rotation of things clean while we waited for our bags. I was ASTONISHED at how much sweat and grime came out of my clothes after a long hot day of travel! Won’t travel without them ever again." —Kristin St. Martin
Get nine packets from Amazon for $6.35.
10. A LilyAna Naturals retinol moisturizer that provides maximum hydration, which makes sense since its formula contains aloe, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, green tea, shea butter, and jojoba oil. It'll also help reduce the appearance of acne scars and blemishes. Your skin may feel oh so rejuvenated!
LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.
Since retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, it's important to remember to apply sunscreen during the day. It's also a good idea to use this moisturizer at night (rather than in the morning) to potentially prevent further discomfort.
Promising review: "I wished there was a way to give this product 10 stars. Let me first say I'm a VERY picky retinol user. I usually use a high-end organic product (aka: Origins) but thought I'd give this one a whirl given the reviews. I'm a tried and proven convert now. I LOVE this product. It is so luxurious and never causes burning, peeling, or redness. Truthfully, I think this is best retinol cream I've ever used and that's just how it FEELS on my skin. Let's talk results. This product changed the playing field. With one use, I could tell this was different. People at work ask me what I'm doing to my skin. They tell me how super soft, supple, and radiant my skin looks. I thought it was just me that noticed but others have too. I don't want to waste any other existing product so I'm going to still use that up first before ordering more, but once it's gone, I'll be ordering this full time from now on. I'm also going to try out their other products as well." —GFresh
Get it from LilyAna Naturals on Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
11. A revitalizing hair protein treatment for conditioning and repairing dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. TBH I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!
Promising review: "If you suffer from dry and damaged hair this is a must! I usually don’t write reviews. Honestly, I don’t write them at all but I just wanted to let you know this product is worth it. I’ve had dry and damaged hair for years due to coloring, weather, and bad care. I saw a post about this product and decided to give it a try. This is my second day using it and I see a huge difference! My hair is so soft, the ends feel healthy, it doesn’t feel like I’m touching hay anymore. This is a must! I washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner, dried it with a towel, and waited about 5–10 minutes before putting the product. Let the product do its magic for about 25 minutes, then washed it and let it air dry. I strongly recommend buying this!" —Diego Jimenez
Get it from Amazon for $7.45.
12. A water-resistant SPF 50+ Neutrogena sunscreen stick because it'll help protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays without the mess of a liquid formula. This lightweight sunscreen glides on easily and is fast-absorbing so you can more quickly enjoy your fun in the sun.
Promising review: "This line of sunscreen is my holy grail. The fact that this is a stick makes it perfect for packing in a carry-on bag. It will last through an entire trip and won't fill up your liquid bag. I used this in heavy smog in LA in late summer and in Hawaii for eight days. Never got burnt once. Buy this!" —Angela
Get it from Amazon for $8.49.
13. A bottle of Orly's Bonder base coat — this chip-resistant formula adheres to your nail polish which means your polish can stay on for much longer!
Promising reviews: "So I've only been using it for a day, BUT I put my nails through the ringer today with housework, gardening, accidentally dinging and scratching my nails, having my hands wet for a long period of time, and showering, which would definitely have chipped my nails. But there was no chipping! Everything stayed perfect :)" —Aisha
"JUST BUY IT. This stuff is amazing. Prior to using this, my nails would last two, AT MOST three days without chipping. Now that I use this as a base coat, my manicures last at least a week with no major chipping. The very edge or tip might become worn down a little, but it's definitely not noticeable. I could probably keep them looking decent for two weeks if I added another coat of topcoat and was a little more careful with them. I was skeptical about buying this at first because I wasn't sure that a base coat would make much of a difference in the longevity of my manicure. I thought the secret to lasting nails mostly depended on the topcoat used, but I was wrong. Doing my nails is a lot more fun now that I don't have to worry about chipping after two days!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
14. A non-greasy 10-in-1 leave-in spray that conditions, detangles, and protects against heat. Basically it's a miracle in a bottle. If you're on the lookout for something to help prevent breakage that'll also leave you with a healthy-looking sheen, this is the hair treatment for you.
Mane Club is a small haircare business making cruelty-free and vegan products.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this spray:
"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow-dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow-dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends."
15. A plant-based oil-solidifying powder so you don't have to worry about what to do with the oil you used to fry up chicken last night. Delicious, by the way!
16. A pack of unscented clumping clay kitty litter because it offers 10-day odor control. Just because you love your purring friend, doesn't mean you have to live with their stank.
17. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. Because if a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I'm so happy about my sparkling white dishwasher that I can't help it! Ever since I moved into my apartment, my dishwasher was totally yellow inside. There were also lighter colored streaks all in it...it was pretty gross to look at. I read about this product in an article and was so excited to order it! After one use, my dishwasher looks brand new! I seriously can't believe it. Didn't expect it to work so well!" —M. Street
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.50.
18. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that'll help remove dark spots and fine lines.
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product!! I recently added it to my daily skincare routine and I see and feel a tremendous difference. My face feels more supple and very hydrated. I suffer from dry skin and this has helped me transform my skin." —Pia
"This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving onto K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable but it was gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc
Get it from Amazon for $19.17.
19. A Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning stamp since rings have been forming around the inside of your toilet. This will keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean with every flush. Just plop some gel inside the bowl and let it work so you don't have to.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these things! I have five kiddos. These gel stamps keep my toilet cleaner and fresher smelling for longer, which is a definite plus with four boys. These have an easy, no-mess application. I finally just put them on my Subscribe & Save so I always have them ready." —Alyssa M
Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.99.
20. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because it'll help erase life's little messes in the blink of an eye. Those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains will be a thing of the past!
Promising review: "The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G-2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and through the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6x12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!" —Bob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
21. A curly hair children's leave-in detangling conditioner made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil to make wash day for your little one waaaay easier.
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this is the best hair product I’ve ever used on my child. She has long, dry, and curly hair and every morning and evening was a battle with tangles. This product conditions and detangles beautifully and smells great. Her hair texture is 100 times softer." —dev
Get it from Amazon for $9.96.
22. An exfoliating glove that'll easily lift away dead skin because — and I hate to break it to you — you're really not as clean as you think you are.
Promising review: "I don’t write reviews often (indeed I believe this is the first one ever), but I cannot let another day go by without expressing how amazing this mitt is! I wasn’t expecting much of anything. I have been exfoliating with a different but similar product for a long time and had been assuming it worked, so I didn’t anticipate the amount of dead skin this mitt removed. I made sure my skin was nice and wet for 10 minutes before I attempted to use it. After the first scrub of my arm I stood there in the shower stunned, staring at the mitt in shock. I scrubbed every inch of myself I could before my arms got tired! My skin is so soft it feels absolutely dreamy! I put lotion on and I can’t stop touching my amazingly soft skin! You will not regret buying this mitt, just make sure your skin is soaked and softened for at least 10 minutes before you try to use it!" —Jillian Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a pack of two).
23. A pack of two plant-based bathroom/shower cleaners formulated with tea tree oil. Just spray this after you shower, and it will get rid of soap scum and stains without you having to wipe them away!
Promising review: "Finally found a shower cleaner that works without scrubbing. By spraying the shower and doors lightly after each shower, I no longer have to scrub to remove water spots/residue. Now I only use a window cleaner about every 6–8 weeks to shine up the glass and walls. This is rather remarkable since we only have well water." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.10.
24. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets because you shouldn't be tossing dirty clothes into a dirty machine. These tablets dissolve to remove any residue that may have built up, so you can be sure your favorite blanket comes out smelling fresh!
Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis
Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $9.48.
25. A pack of collagen under eye patches to help reduce puffiness and potentially lighten dark circles. They're enriched with vitamin E, green tea, and tropical fruits extracts that provide illuminating hydration.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but after two uses of this product my under eye bags and circles were less visible. After a week of use, I can now say these are wonderful for that purpose. Even my husband noticed the difference! They are very thin and a bit hard to separate, but easy to apply. Works well." —Ampxela
Get 60 sheets from Amazon for $8.97.
26. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads with salicylic acid and extra cushioning so there's no discomfort while they work their magic.
Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first I thought it was a small callus but as months went by it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn’t believe it. I left strips on for two days then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to removed and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for few days before reapplying a strip and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey N.
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $6.20.
27. A container of non-toxic Museum Gel — this clear multipurpose adhesive can help make sure your fine china or cute (but fragile) decor don't go slipping from their surfaces because of curious cats or rambunctious kids.
Promising reviews: "Saw this on TikTok and I honestly absolutely love it. I use it to keep my drawer organizers from sliding around. This stuff is amazing and I wish I had known about it forever ago." —Abby
"Use it all the time! I have a cat and he loves knocking things off my tables. I use it to secure all my decorations. He can’t move them at all! Easy to remove with no damage to furniture." —Heather Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $13.55.
28. A buildable Maybelline gel-cream blush because it'll give you that natural, dewy finish you've spent $$$$ trying to find. Just tap on this oil-free tint, blend, and build!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this blush:
"I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable blush, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!"
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this, but decided to try it since the price is so good. I had read that it is similar to Cloud Paint and I agree. This is very pigmented, spreads easily, and is a decent size (.27 ounces vs. .33 for Cloud Paint). And it's a third of the price." —Heather Kulper
Get it from Amazon for $7.90 (available in six shades).
29. A pack of 100% natural Burt's Bees lip balm that'll nourish your dry lips. It's made with responsibly sourced beeswax, vitamin E, and peppermint oil to leave you feeling refreshed.
Promising review: "This is my first time using Burt's Bees lip balm. I used Eos and Nivea before this. Someone recommended this to me and I bought my first Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm a week ago to try it before ordering the four-pack. This is a good deal compared to the $3 single ones. The other lip balms I tried are oily. They give a glossy appearance. But this is more like a balm. Not glossy but gives a more moisturized, natural appearance. Even though the other lip balms kept my lips good while it they were on, they often left my lips flaky. There were still dry skin coming off my lips. After using this balm, I never had that problem. The lips had a healthy moisturized look." —Sam
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six flavors).
30. A pack of oil-proof paper air fryer liners — post-cooking cleanup just got a lot quicker and easier!
Promising review: "How did I not know about these before???? I pop one of these in, put my food on top, air fry, and cleanup is SO FLIPPING EASY!!!! I cooked bacon-wrapped jalapeños on top of these and there was almost ZERO grease in my air fryer that needed to be cleaned out because these sheets absorbed it all. I will NEVER use an air fryer again without these!" —Holly
Get 125 liners from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes).
31. Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant if you're sensitive to scents but want to gently unclog your pores, as well as exfoliate and brighten your skin. This unscented leave-on formula is even gentle enough for daily use.
Promising review: "I bought this in a dark time: My skin texture was garbage, all my pores were massive, I had clogged pores all over my face, and I was just waiting for them to become actual acne. I got this because I just wanted SOMETHING to help with my skin texture while I waited for my oral prescription. Now listen here — THE FIRST time I used it, I saw a difference. My forehead and my cheeks right to the side of my nose were flawless. I don’t know what kind of stuff was in it that provided immediate results. I thought maybe that was just 'fake' results, like it has something to gloss over the skin surface to give the appearance of smoothness. But then I used this stuff twice a day for four days, and alllll of the tiny red pimples all over my cheeks and forehead were gone and my pores STAYED small! I am telling you. This product has changed my whole face in under a week. It’s so clear! I expect to have full celebrity skin going forward. You have to try this. You barely need to use any of it, too. It’s a thicker gel liquid, so it smooths on so easily and you don’t have to use a ton like with a toner or micellar water. I’m just shook. I’ll buy this for the rest of my life!!" —K Fied
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
32. A powerful concrete oil stain remover because working on your car means getting oil and grease all over your concrete garage floor or driveway.
Promising review: "I bought this for an oil drip from hubby's truck. The 4" x 36" spill was less than a week old. I poured the solution over the whole spill and waited about seven hours before taking a stiff bristle Libman brush to it. It worked like a charm! The concrete looks like nothing was spilled on it. Brushing the dried-out product was super easy." —Flemm88
