Promising reviews: "I have extremely sensitive skin around my eyes – this DOESN’T BURN. This is my third tube of this stuff. It’s my absolute favorite. I bought it because of dryness around my eyes, and it’s helped so much. It’s hydrating, has no scent, and is of good quality. 10/10 would recommend! —Lexi Deaton Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in multipacks). Promising review: "Y'all, this immediately removed berry stains before I even put it in the wash! This is the best stain remover for parents because it gets everything out, and I will never buy another stain remover! And the 16-ounce bottle has lasted me about a year (and I have a messy toddler lol). Easily my favorite stain remover." —Erik Mcdonald Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three sizes and multipacks). Promising review: "These are my new favorite. They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria’s Secret underwear for many years spending unnecessary money. I’ll repurchase these over and over again." —Joshua Psst — if you're looking for a thong option, reviewers are obsessed with these Skims-inspired thongs that are also on Amazon! Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 17 sets). Insert your preferred blade and lock it into place, add your veggie, close the lid, and chop your heart out! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner, and this makes it fast and fun! I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use, and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I’m obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." —Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors and six sizes). Promising reviews: "So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn’t notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can’t use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" —Isabela L "What is this miracle in a jar?! The way my skin is so smooth right after the first use is [wild]. I will buy these for the rest of my life as long as I am breathing. This is now my FAVORITE skin product besides my sunscreen. Love, love, loooove" —Ryan M. Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $18.90. Promising reviews: "I've seen these leggings all over TikTok and finally decided to give them a chance. I do a lot of HIIT workouts and find that these 'buttery soft' leggings never really hold up well. I don't know what they're doing differently here, but I love it. They are so soft and stretchy, but incredibly smoothing. They've done well in HIIT, low-impact, and weight-lifting workouts. I couldn't recommend these enough." —Ashley "These leggings are incredible! The fabric is so soft and feels just like Lululemon. Lightweight, high-quality, and sweat‑wicking. Even during intense workouts or runs, I don’t feel sweaty at all. They move perfectly with my body and stay in place without riding down. Definitely my new favorite pair!" —Kara Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 33 colors) — and check out matching tops and bras at the Amazon CRZ Yoga page! Promising reviews: "I used this product years ago and had the most amazing skin, but I assumed it was mostly genetics. Now that my skin is showing signs of aging, I decided to give it another try — and I’m so glad I did. My skin is transforming daily. They say your skin can rebuild itself, and it really does — especially when you remove the buildup of dead skin cells. I’ve been using it morning and night, and I genuinely look younger. My skin feels polished, my pores are noticeably smaller, and I need much less makeup. Such a fantastic product — highly recommend!" —Sweet Caroline "I have a lot of skin care devices and tools...this one is my favorite so far. Simple, affordable yet awesome! Buf-Puf is a must-have for those who are looking for a nice and gentle exfoliate. It really 'cleans' the surface of my face! Right away you will feel the result!" —MaylandRora I recently started using the 40-oz version and all I can say is, I wish I had converted sooner. This bottle is the only *true* leakproof option I've found. It's surprisingly light and easy to carry, it fits perfectly in my car cupholder, and it keeps drinks freezing cold for literal hours on end. I'm also impressed by how easy it is to disassemble and clean, which is a big selling point for me! BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it's great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you're worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I've had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder-friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAYS in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And...if you've seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids...know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher." Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three sizes and 20 colors) or straight from Brumate for $44.99 (available in three sizes and 20 colors). Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. Promising reviews: "This cream has tightened the skin around my neck beyond my expectations. I’ve been using it daily (morning and evening) for over two months and still have product left. I’ve even tried it on my face and it gives me a bit of a 'facelift.' I’m officially a Bond girl. A bit sticky to the touch after a few hours of wear, but that doesn’t bother me. Will order again." —AP Wang "I absolutely love this lotion! The texture is smooth and creamy without being greasy, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. My hands and arms feel soft and moisturized all day, even in dry weather. It has a light, pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering, and a little goes a long way. I’ve noticed a real improvement in how my skin looks and feels since I started using it. Definitely a new favorite — highly recommend!" —Debbie M. Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available as a two-pack). It works on wood, tile, fiberglass, showers, floors, counters, and grout! RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional-grade cleaning solutions for your home. Promising review: "I seldom write product reviews, but this product is so fantastic that I felt compelled. Was suffering from black mold and mildew in the shower in tough areas (i.e., on grout). Have been trying for ages to remove it with scrubs, baking soda, bleach, etc., without success. Applied this product today and all the mold was gone within seconds, without even scrubbing!! This is absolutely my new favorite cleaner. I recommend wholeheartedly!" —STZZK Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes and in multipacks). Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising reviews: "Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1Mil stars, I would. If you’re someone who’s had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" —Jess "I normally hate writing reviews, but I had to for this product. I stand a lot for my job on hard concrete. I was really embarrassed by my feet and hated to wear sandals or go to the salon with my bad calluses. Soaked my feet as instructed and bought one of those callus files with it. It took less than 15 mins and it [came] right off. My feet are salon-quality smooth. My new favorite beauty product. I will definitely be buying again." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in two sizes, three scents, and as a two-pack). Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48 (also available as a two-pack). One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and the other size sets include two. Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in three sizes and 22 colors). See a TikTok review of the shaver! For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. Promising reviews: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly "SO good and convenient. I use this in the shower while I’m wet, and it gives a good shave. Its head is small, so it gets into all cracks and crevices. It won’t give you an absolutely smooth shave, but it’s a great trimmer so that you can debulk and then use a regular razor. It’s my favorite because it’s small, easy to hold on to, and trims well in water/wet skin. Definitely worth the money for intimate areas." —Heidi Lillibridge Promising review: "So comfortable and so, so cute! From a pajama lover — I think these might just be my new favorites. I’ve tried all brands (designer and otherwise) and these top my list without a doubt. The ruffles are such a cute touch! Highly recommend!" —Melissa Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds. Remove the plastic insert and your Tushbaby is machine washable! Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to daily parenting life. Promising review: "This is probably my favorite thing I've picked up as a random purchase. It's comfy to wear. My toddler loves it. I love the pockets and pouches. I used this trick or treating. I also use it for doctor's visits, my older son's games, grocery shopping, doing chores around the house, and during the holiday events. It is literally my favorite purchase. Can literally carry my toddler for hours without getting tired or him being uncomfortable. Well worth the price point. Amazing design." —Letha Rolland Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in six colors). Promising reviews: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel "The hype is real! The entire cat tower was turning white from all the long hair accumulating. Now it looks brand new, I can’t believe my eyes. It makes me want to buy my cat more things to lay on so I have more reasons to use this lol. Amazing! Also very straightforward design and easy to use. This is my favorite purchase of the year. Easily." —Brianna Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors/styles and a mini version). Promising reviews: "One of the best curling creams for me. I have 3A/3B hair. It leaves my hair smooth while giving me curl and not weighing it down. My favorite." —Gabriella "Great for kinky curls. Super impressed with this product. It made my kinky hair (4C) very moisturized. Used in conjunction with a Denman brush, [my] curls were beautiful. Did not give much stretch to hair. Smell is amazing. Will purchase again." —Reya S. Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available as a two-pack). It includes 50 original works of art printed on single-sided, perforated pages! Check out a TikTok of the reverse coloring book in action. Promising review: "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life, I thought I was not creative and therefore, had zero artistic ability. Now, this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. This has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through." —K. DeWitt Promising reviews: "This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It’s great. You won’t be disappointed." —Amazon Customer "So I've tried everything to get water stains off my white hex tile in my master shower, but NOTHING has worked until now. The Pink Stuff is the ONLY cleaner that took the stains right off while also smelling fantastic! This is hands down my new favorite cleaner! I cannot wait to test it out on other things in my house!" —Doc Rooster Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a two-pack and in a bundle with a scrubber sponge). Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK "This cream is my absolute favorite splurge. I truly cannot live without it. The scent is heavenly, the texture is rich, and it makes my skin feel soft and pampered. I pair it with the Firmeza body oil (which I apply first and let soak in) and then layer on the Bum Bum Cream. The combination makes me feel spoiled in the best way. We all need a little self-care, and for me, this is 100% worth it". —AnnG71 Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes and in bundle packs). Promising reviews: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTockAlice "INCREDIBLE BEAUTY PRODUCT!! Works like magic! I am 66 years old and after using this moisturizer for only four days, I have not needed to use foundation makeup. This Medix retinol cream is a serious game changer!" —Nancy C. Trussell Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in multipacks). Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed ’til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. Day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack). BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear. Promising reviews: "I love this crossbody belt bag. I have it in pink and black. Holds my phone, wallet, keys, ChapStick, and any acorns my toddler hands me. Release clip makes it easy to take off. Feels like such sturdy material, too. I don’t use a traditional purse, so this is my favorite bag." —Jana Sutton "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 34 colors). Promising review: "Love this tool. Of all the garlic choppers I've used over the years, this is my favorite because, for me, it is the quickest! Just put the cloves in and give it a gentle squeeze (I use a small knife to lightly scrape the leftover garlic off the bottom). I know most garlic presses work this way, but I swear this one is just better. It's so easy to deal with and a breeze to clean. I love garlic and use this almost every day!" —jessica 17 Promising review: "I waited a couple of months to review this so I would really know how they work and honestly, I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve done the creams, the little electric hair removers, and plain old tweezers, but these are my favorite by a long shot! Not only do they actually get rid of all the peach fuzz on my face super well — without the skin irritation I risk using creams — but it’s sooooo easy, fast, and painless. Plus, it exfoliates my skin! It amazes me every time I use these how much fuzz and dead skin comes off. You really only need to go over your face once every couple of weeks or so, but I imagine it depends on how dark your hair is and how fast it grows. Finally something that is cheap, easy to use, and effective! For very dark-haired me, these are most definitely a must-have." —Abigail Get a three-pack from Amazon for $4.71 (also available as a nine-pack). Promising review: "This is my favorite mug, I love drinking my morning coffee and bedtime tea in it. It's so adorable and it really brightens up my day. Good price point and good quality." —Andy A. These pads are compatible with the original Swiffer. The company also sells a version of these mop pads that work with the Swiffer Wet Jet! Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably. Promising reviews: "This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" —Isabella M. "Okay so I’ve been using these for quite some time now and I have to say that these are my favorite. Once you secure your Swiffer base, it literally will not come off. That Velcro is STRONG! These pads will collect every string of hair, dust, and piece of food that didn’t get picked up when you dropped it, everything!! Although these are machine washable (which is clutch), I hand-wash mine. It is an absolute pain to get hair off of these. But it’s worth it! Get it! Stop reading this and buy them!!" — Kay It comes with three different vessels, so you can effortlessly switch between creating smoothies, salad dressings, or even delectable desserts. Promising review: "This blender is my favorite thing. It's stunning and functional, looks fabulous on my forest green kitchen counter tiles, and helps me make better food choices. I am recommending it to all my buddies and probably gifting to loved ones in the future. I can't stop gazing at it lovingly. 10,000/10 stars. Thank you, Beast, I love you." —Liz M. Get it from Beast for $99 (available in five colors). Promising reviews: "Like a cloud ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I’m a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." —Ian Durham "Won't regret this purchase! These are my fave shoes. I use them practically daily. I don't get foot fatigue like I do with my other footwear. I have plantar fasciitis and my arch is supported well. This is easily my best purchase find. The reviews were super helpful. I will say that the shoe isn’t as supportive around the foot, but I’ll play around with the laces." —Leialoha Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).
