1. A box of wart-removing pads so you can say bye-bye to warts, fast. All you have to do is slap on a bandage (that contains a liquid gel) over the affected area and let this pad get to work.
Promising review: "This stuff works! I’ve 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! Eww, embarrassing! So I got the freeze off and thought 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the freeze off three times and nothing! I than 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 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.

2. Houseplant insect traps that you can place in soil to prevent an infestation. Who wants creepy-crawlies all over their plant babies? EW!!!! These sticky traps will catch gnats, flies, and other bugs.
Promising review: "Holy cow, these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new house plant, plus re-potted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

3. A gentle cradle cap brush and comb, because it'll make removing stubborn flakes from your baby's scalp much easier.
FYI: Before purchasing this, talk to a pediatrician regarding signs and recommended treatments for cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis).
Promising review: "It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing, gross, and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in multiple directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah
Get it from Amazon for $4.19.
4. A Maybelline Eyebrow Definer Pencil that will take your eyebrows to the next level. This pencil has a teardrop-shaped tip and a little brush to help you draw and blend your way to picture-perfect brows.
Promising review: "I have little to no eyebrows. Penciling them in with something like Brow Wiz with the tiny tip is pointless and takes forever, and I run out in a month or less. This makes it easy, and my brows look BOMB!!! I will buy this over and over and over." —Duchess
Get it from Amazon for $8.45+ (available in nine colors).
5. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so you can get rid of soap scum and grime in your shower without much of an effort. All you have to do is spray and leave it overnight. Then, wash it away when you shower the next day. You'll be amazed to see all the stains simply wash away without you needing to scrub.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes and two scents).
6. A foot peel mask if you don't mind feeling a bit squeamish as you peel away dead skin over the course of five to seven days in order to get smoother-looking feet.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, can I just say I am COMPLETELY mind blown and AMAZED!!! I've always had super calloused feet because I walk around barefoot often, or without socks. Nothing ever seems to work for me. This product had me skeptical given my history, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm getting married soon and, well, I'm sure he'd rather feel soft feet than nasty, cracked, calloused feet. So I used the 'mask' this past Monday. It is now Sunday, almost a week to the day later. I've been concerned that I once again wasted money. I was preparing for a second treatment tomorrow. My feet are BAD, so I figured nothing could help me, but I'd do what the company recommended and try re-treating one week after. But all of the sudden the dead skin is coming off!!! Folks, its WORKING!!!! Even the most awfully calloused feet WILL benefit from this!! Trust me!!" —JeepGirl78
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in four scents and in three- and four-packs).
7. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that will help with bad breath because it will remove bacteria and buildup on your tongue that your brush leaves behind. If you can handle it, just take a look at the shocking before and after pics below.
Promising review: "I was a little unsure what to expect. I had never used something like this before, but my girlfriend says my breath stinks and she deserves better than that. I brush and floss, but there is still that 'thing'...that stank under the normal mouth breath. Using this has removed that. Not really sure how it works or why that layer of spit and stuff on your tongue has to smell so bad, but this removes it well and also feels kinda nice. Thank you!" —nick
Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (available in two styles, multipacks, and a pack with floss).
8. Bio Oil if you're in need of a skincare miracle. This oil can help repair skin damage and fade and smooth scars and stretch marks. Oh, and it has over 74,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "I have eczema and I'm constantly trying to find basic skincare than I can use regularly. I have some really bad mosquito bite scars from last summer and some issues with hyperpigmentation, not to mention scarring from eczema outbreaks throughout the years. I saw this reviewed online and decided to give it a try, even though every other product they recommended for skincare was a bust for me. Not this! It smelled like it was going to be too strong and the consistency felt like it was just going to sit on my skin, so I was shocked when my skin drank it in and I had no irritation at all. Even better, after about two months I started noticing some fading and my skin texture felt better. Now it's been about four months and I'm a believer. I'm still on my first bottle (it seems like I've needed to use less over time or something), but I'm considering sizing up with my next purchase, just so I can drench myself in it daily...I'm only kind of exaggerating. It's actually gentle enough for my face and I can't even use Cetaphil on my face (I use very gentle face wash and moisturizer). I hope it becomes your new go-to skin treatment too!" —MissMaria82
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).
9. A pet ear cleanser to clean your fur-baby's dirty ears with non-toxic ingredients. I can't promise anything — but maybe they'll hear you better so you won't have to yell "No!" a dozen times before they actually get the hint.
This is is free of harsh chemicals and cleaners!
Promising review: "My husband and I just adopted our cute puppy, Winston, from the humane society. When we adopted him his ears were unfortunately pretty dirty, but after using this ear cleaner today, his ears are so clean!! I'm so amazed at everything it managed to get out. Our puppy's ears look so much better now! I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a dog." —Jerome F
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A carpet cleaning solution that will deep clean set-in stains and remove odor so your carpet will look brand new (yes, even if you have kids, pets, or a messy roomie).
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that sells home cleaning products.

Promising review: "I have an elderly dog who has occasional accidents and a cat with chronic bladder issues. Without this product, I’m pretty sure I would’ve burned down the house. On fresh accidents, it works with just one treatment. It removes the stains, and more importantly, it completely removes the odors. On older, setting stains, it completely removes stains and odors after several repeat treatments. I’ve tried so many products over the years. Hands-down, this is the best." —SR Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).
12. Hydrating face masks that can tighten skin, hydrate, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This mask might look like something straight out of an episode of The Walking Dead when you apply it, but you won't look like a zombie once you take it off.
Promising review: "I was absolutely amazed after using this mask! It made my skin so soft! My pores were barely there; this mask tightened my skin and left it baby smooth! This was only after one use! My makeup went on beautifully and lasted longer. After several uses, I can say the tightening effect has really left my skin firmer. The mask made my skin feel slightly itchy as it tightened. However, it did subside, and it didn’t irritate my face. I am loving how soft my skin is. And yes, it is still making my pores look nonexistent! Love it, would highly recommend. 💕💕" —Sarah
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $18.98 (also available in 16-pack and a variety pack).
13. Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips for a whiter and brighter smile in just a few uses. This formula is enamel-safe, and you can get results while binging your fave show on the couch.
Promising review: "The most significant changes happened in the first 10 days, so expect smaller changes after that. I used two packs because my teeth were initially very yellow. I think most of you would be happy after 20 treatments. After using two packs, I did a check-up at my local dental clinic; both my gum and enamel were healthy, which is a big plus. They also measured the shade of my teeth as B1 so you know the pictures aren't just white due to picky lighting. This is pretty damn impressive cause B1 is the whitest shade one can get without veneers. Also, the cost of two packs was like a quarter of what I would need to pay if I was to do the treatments at the clinic. The most important thing is to be patient and consistent, stick to the damn treatments, and don't complain too soon. Make sure the strips stick to the surface of your teeth properly, especially if you have crooked teeth, and make sure to compare your results under identical lighting." —NotSponsored
Get a box of 24 treatments from Amazon for $29.99.
14. A pumice cleaning stone that will do all the hard work for you. It will remove rust, limescale, and hard water stains that your scrubbing brush just can't seem to stand up to.
Promising review: "I’m doing a happy dance right now! My toilets have had mineral rings in the bowls from well water since we bought our house five years ago. During those five years, I have purchased NUMEROUS products to try to remove the rings. Every single one failed. I had come to terms with the idea that if I wanted pristine looking crappers, I was going to need to replace them. Three of them. Ugh! I ordered the pumice cleaning stone as a last ditch attempt. Received it today, and immediately went to town. My extreme enthusiasm for scrubbing johns was actually a bit odd, but I was feeling optimistic. Turns out I had reason to. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!! SO amazing, it actually inspired me to take a picture of my TOILET!!!! My hoppers are saved!!!!! Seriously, the rings are COMPLETELY GONE. If I could give 10 stars, I would." —Sassyscribbler
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.99.
15. Elizavecca Collagen Hair Protein Treatment jam packed with hair-loving ingredients like collagen, ceramide 3, and soy protein to repair damaged or over-processed locks. It can be used on various hair textures from straight to tight curls.
Here's a review from a BuzzFeed contributor:
"I have a very thin, fine hair, so finding ways to make it look presentable can be a challenge. Since I only have, like, 100 hairs on my head, I have to take very good care of them. As a result, I'm kind of a hair mask hoarder — opening my bathroom cabinet leads to an avalanche of half-used hair products. But despite all my fancy shampoos, conditioners, masks, leave-in conditioners, and oils, my hair continued to be hay-like and frizzy. When I bought Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment for under $10, I was not expecting much. But seriously, after just two uses, I'm ready to call this the miracle product I've been searching for.
This repairing hair treatment works just like a hair mask. You wash your hair, and then apply the treatment to your hair and let sit for 5-15 minutes. It's in a little squeeze bottle, which is a huge plus because I hate having to scoop product out of a jar while I'm in the shower. The scent is nice without being overwhelming. After rinsing this out, I can feel a noticeable difference right away. My hair, once unruly and dry, now feels like silk. I can't stop touching it; it feels like I stole someone else's hair. My fuzzy puff of hair has relaxed into loose waves, and each strand just feels considerably healthier. I can't believe the results after just two uses. I'm ready to start a very active Elizavecca fan club if anyone else is looking to join." —Bek O'Connell
Promising review:" I am shocked — a miracle really. I have 4C hair, African American texture. Last week, I washed my hair, and most of it was all over the bottom of my shower. This week, I let this product sit in my hair for about 20 minutes, looked at the bottom of my shower, and only saw teeny bits of hair. This reduced shedding by 97%. I will always order this because of its affordability, but also, I might be able to grow my hair super long if I continue this process." —Audrey
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in two sizes).
16. A reusable pet hair remover if you are tired of having fur all over yourself, your furniture, your clothes — everything! It doesn't have to be this way. This tool works like a lint brush — you just have to roll it back and forth on whatever surface you want to get rid of hair or fur and it'll pull it right up.
Promising review: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
17. A foot file for feet that feel like sandpaper — been there! This tool will remove calluses and dry skin. It might look like a cheese grater, but your feet will feel smoother after one use. Trust me, I use this and it makes such a difference!
Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving and that has lead to deep callouses on the heel of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later I'm touching baby-smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin. This thing is a miracle-worker and if I could rate it 10 stars I would." —Gully176
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
18. Maybelline Dark Circles Treatment Concealer that will work like magic to hide discoloration around your eyes. With a swipe, tired eyes look refreshed and selfie ready.
Promising review: "I hope they never discontinue this concealer, it’s genius and I don’t know what I would do without it! It’s fast to apply and super easy to use because the little sponge head just makes each application a no-brainer easy process. You just twist it 'til you see some product show up on the sponge, and then dab it where you want it to go. Applies concealer to the eye area without pulling or effort. You don’t need your fingers to finish the job, the sponge does it for you. Plus, it’s easy to remove at the end of the day. Seriously, this concealer and included application sponge on the tip is perfect!" —likestogarden

Promising review: "I'm not one to leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Holy cow!

Don't read any more reviews; you're wasting valuable time. Just trust me. This is all you need in life." —Kimberly Deloge

Promising review: "After many failed attempts using different products I had finally given up and accepted my coffee pot was always going to be stained. Then my husband sends me an article about different things to buy on Amazon and this item was one of them. I was skeptical, even after seeing reviews and before and after pictures. But what the heck, for less than $10 why not try. And I am so happy I did! I let my coffee pot run without adding coffee so I could have nice hot water, then dropped one of these tabs in. It immediately started to fizz, ended up leaving over night. The next day with a quick swipe with a bottle brush and my coffee pot looked like it was brand-new!" —Andrea N
