“Straight-up sorcery,” “This stuff is magic,” “It blew my mind” — all reviewer quotes that make me a believer.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Read about how saline nose sprays can help with allergic rhinitis at the Mayo Clinic. And chat with your doctor or allergist to see if it's right for you! 

Promising review: "This gentle nasal spray really works! While living in the Midwest, I experienced seasonal allergies. In Southern California, my allergies are year-round. I began using AYR Saline Nasal Mist, and I love it! As if by magic, my nasal passages clear up almost instantly. A little sidebar here...my little terrier-mix dog has allergic nasal dryness, and I am now using it on her. It is equally effective for my Canine Companion (I first consulted my veterinarian, of course). I now have labeled each of my two AYRs, one for Carly and one for me . . . (*_^)!" —PJ

This product’s packaging says to avoid using it around open food, so keep your chip bags closed and hot dogs covered (these silicone lids would cover plates easily) while you hang out. But it should be fine to pull out a hot dog and handful of chips if you’re going to eat them right away.

Promising reviews: "Hallelujah! I had to write a review because it worked so, so, so well! Amazing really. I camped for a week in a spot by the river that is super infested with mosquitoes. Our camp was literally mosquito free! We would walk to other peoples camps and they would be swarming them. I eventually just carried one around with me, and it works! I am on of those people that always get bit. This is the first thing I’ve ever used that really keeps them away, it’s almost magic. So grateful." —Shelby Gold

"This thing actually works great. We started using it during outdoor markets, and it made a noticeable difference with mosquitoes. Normally, I get bitten constantly when we’re outside for long periods of time, but with this running nearby, it helped a lot. It’s also really easy to set up and convenient to bring along. We’ve used it at markets, sitting outside at home, and at other outdoor events, and have been really happy with it. It’s become one of those things we always make sure to bring with us now." —Paige 

Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 

Just shake the bottle, spray it on, and let it dry completely. Easy peasy! 

This tackles odors and some stains, but works best after using an enzyme cleaner.

Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.

Promising review: "Sorcery in a bottle. This stuff works, period. My cat has started to spray. After I cleaned up the initial mess, I let it dry and then sprayed it with this stuff. Seriously, it's like my cat never even sprayed. I also like the fact that once the orange scent goes away, it takes the urine smell with it. Not thick or sticky, and you can reapply it without feeling like you've overdone it. This stuff is amazing." —Shannon Shelton

Promising review: This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. —Lillee45

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. 

Promising review: "MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the “chicken skin” I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I’ve ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." —Cheyanne

Get one from Amazon for $10.99 (available in six colors; also available in a set of two mittens). 

This works on a variety of materials like leather, suede, canvas, synthetics, nubuck, and patent leather. 

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Amanda Davis says: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead, I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much, but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!!  The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up.  After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes, and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break in. This stuff is a must!"

Promising review: "Straight up sorcery! This stuff is magic and makes new shoes way more comfortable and fit like a glove! I will definitely order more in the future. This is my new secret weapon." —RockabillyKim

To use, squeeze 5–10 drops in each ear, then flush with water using the provided bulb syringe. Lots of reviewers suggest letting the drops soak in your ears at a 90-degree angle for up to 30 minutes for best results. 

Promising review: "This stuff is pure magic. After my wife spotted some blockades of earwax in my ears and we tried unsuccessfully to remove it with tweezers (dangerous? probably!), I went searching for a solution. I read the rocking reviews on this product as well as some helpful hints from other reviewers and decided to give it a try. Holy. Toledo. I let the solution sit for 15-20 minutes in my ear, walked to the sink with my head tilted to keep it from spilling out, then tilted it the other way over the sink and told my wife to just hose my ear with the included flusher bulb with reckless abandon. The size of the earwax plug that came out was AMAZING. As too was my seemingly intensified hearing. I couldn't believe how clear everything sounded (and I hadn't thought my hearing was at all defective before). All in all, I think everyone should give this a try. Surely there's more buildup than you realize, and it's a hoot to get it out!" —Crunk

Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising reviews: "I can not say enough good things about this product! It makes a world of difference. Just one drop in your eye just feels amazing, and within a few seconds, they are completely crystal clear. It’s magic in a bottle. If you ask me, I can’t live without it. Once you try it you will have to have it forever. If you ever look at someone's eyes and they have crystal white eye coloring, I can probably guarantee, hands down, they are using this product. It is simply amazing and very effective. Trust me, buy it once, and I guarantee you will continue to buy forever! And takes some before and after pictures, you’re gonna be amazed at the results. You can literally put the drops in, close your eyes, and reopen them within a few seconds, and the transformation is done, it’s literally magic in a bottle." —BB

"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." —Angela Leonard

If you want to really exfoliate, try it out with an exfoliating mitt. 

Promising reviews: "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. It's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

"I was hesitant and thought these reviews were too positive. I couldn't believe it actually worked that wonderfully. It's just a spray right? Absolutely blown away. This stuff is truly magic in a bottle. My feet were gross and cracked. After a long Michigan winter and lack of care for them, they needed this badly. Sprayed about 5 squirts per foot and let the magic work. My feet look like I just went to a pedicure. I highly recommend. Will be purchasing this for gifts and myself from here on out. Amazed!" —hlschu

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Promising review: "These are so comfortable! They add a little layer of softness to my little flat shoes. No need to wear socks, and yet my shoes don’t pick up any sweaty foot odor, even in the heat of summer. I haven’t washed mine yet, but I know they can be, which will extend the life of the socks."—Sheryl L. 

"These flat socks are like stealthy ninjas for your feet—no slipping, no stink, no-show magic. My shoes are living their best sockless life while my feet stay comfy and fresh. It’s like going commando… but for shoes!" —Abby Gentry

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).

This product is formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica I had it and trust me when I tell you it’s saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun you can use this and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized it will not hurt and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." —Kenneth

"This lotion is like magic ✨ I had a very bad sunburn on my legs. I used this stuff twice and woke up and my sunburn had faded a lot. I highly recommend this and am so happy I purchased this. I’m not sure why a lot of people make it sound like this product smells awful. I don’t find the smell to be bad at all. Smells like regular lotion to me. It felt very cool and helped the burning feeling a lot. If you’re looking for something to help your burns and work quickly, this is definitely a magical product." —Sabrina

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

Here's what Buzzfeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: 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: "Had coffee stains in white sweatshirt. Washed and machine dried many times. I thought I’d never get the stains out. One application with this stain remover and like magic… no more coffee stains. This stuff is GREAT!" —Beverly5534

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a 4-oz travel size).

Quitch is a small business founded by moms.

Promising reviews: "These are the best for when my son gets bitten by mosquitoes. He usually welts up pretty bad. These help with the scratching." —Brenda Diaz

“Not exaggerating — these patches work like magic! I pop one on after a bite, and the itching stops fast. Plus, they look super cute and colorful, like little stickers for your skin. A must-have in every summer bag!”—Dina R Jara

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

Promising reviews: "I didn't want to believe something so simple could actually work. However, I was so tired of stopping the dryer over and over to shake out my sheets, and putting them through multiple dry cycles to get the damp spots dry, I caved and bought this thing, I remember seeing it on Shark Tank and thinking "If this thing works, it would be amazing" — and....IT IS! Easy to put on/take off, keeps the sheets from balling up in the washer and dryer, and through some magic, even keeps the pillow cases from getting shoved into the corners of the fitted sheets. Saves me a ton of time and energy — totally worth it!" —Suzanne

"This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).

Promising review: "If I could give this more stars, I would! For 18 years, my son's hands have been soaked with sweat. He would wipe them, and not even three seconds later, they would be wet again, all day, every day. His clothes would get ruined from this, and his hands always look wrinkly from water. We tried this and now he can go all day, even working in the kitchen at work, and his hands stay dry. With washing all day and gloves on!!! He only applies it twice a day, morning and before bed. This is a miracle!" —Melanie L.  

"THIS STUFF WORKS! It's kinda magical — I put a little on right after showering at night and it has really reduced the sweatiness of my palms for the rest of the day. I've only been using it for a few days and already am seeing remarkable results. It feels a little sticky when applying and right after but since I'm going to bed I don't mind. It holds up decently well even when I'm doing grip-heavy workouts later on where I need dry hands — for gymnasts, pole dancers, lifters this stuff is golden." —Hazeldog

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents). 

Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. Reminder that you don't *have* to conceal dark circles unless you want to! 

Promising review: "This is like my 3rd time buying this, and I’ll keep repurchasing. I have really dark under-eye circles (always have), and this covers them like magic. This is the first stuff that I’ve ever gotten that works so well. It blends easily and makes such a difference without looking heavy. My grandmother even wanted to try it after seeing how well it worked on me. Definitely a staple for me now! Trust me, if you have a problem with dark circles, this is going to be a game changer!" —Victoria C.

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five shades). 

Promising reviews: "I wish I had this sooner. I have four dogs and two cats, so lots of pet hair. It is so easy to use and clean. No more buying lint rollers that cost lots of money, this is so much better just roll and empty. I have used it on my furniture, rugs and clothing with no problems. I highly recommend. I am buying one for all of my friends and family that have pets." —Jason

"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

You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief.

Promising reviews: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly

"This thing is magic. I have nausea every day, and this takes it away immediately!!! It clears my nose as well when it’s a little stuffy. I’m gonna be buying these for the rest of my life. 😊 10/10 recommend." —Josie Weidersberg

Promising reviews: "Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" —Amanda Julia Hess

"I really like this blanket! It feels soft, lightweight, and cool, making it perfect for hot nights. The fabric is comfortable against the skin and helps keep you feeling cooler while sleeping. It has a great size and provides good coverage without feeling heavy. The quality is excellent for the price, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who tends to sleep hot."—Reina Escovar Duran

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).

BuzzFeed Editor Jenae Sitzes is a fan of these sponges: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"

Promising reviews: "I saw these on a BuzzFeed list and was instantly sold! I hated running out of brushes when doing my makeup, and using several eyeshadow colors or wanting to use the same brush for different colors. This has saved me from having to buy 10 more brushes because now I can use my favorite handful of brushes and just wipe them off and keep going! It blew my mind how easy this sponge knocks all the eyeshadow off my brushes! I cannot recommend these enough if you don't want to shell out for more makeup brushes!" —Erica Saldivar

"I thought I'd give it a try. It's just like magic! Three or four swipes of your makeup brush, and all color residue from your shadow brush is gone. I love this!!! Will definitely recommend and I will always have it on my makeup table as long as they make it." —Regina D.

Promising reviews: "So I'm one day into my LEVOIT Air Purifier experiment, and I'm already convinced it's working some kind of magic. I know, I know, 'tastes' isn't exactly a scientific measurement, but hear me out. The air in my place used to have this... thickness to it, like a vague, lingering cloud of 'life happened here.' Now? It's crisp. It's clean. It's like I've opened a window to a mountain meadow, except without the pesky pollen. I half expected it to be a placebo effect, you know? Like, I'd plug it in, hear the gentle hum, and imagine the air was cleaner. But no. My nose doesn't lie. It's like I've been living in a slightly stale bread bag and someone finally ripped it open. I'm not sure if it's sucking up all the dust bunnies, the lingering remnants of last night's questionable cooking, or just generally making my apartment feel less like a closed-off box and more like a breathable space. But whatever it's doing, it's working. I'm already breathing easier, and honestly, that's worth its weight in... well, clean air." —JSScott

"I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." —Charles Tweedy

Get a purifier that can cover up to 1,073-square-foot spaces from Amazon for $84.94+ (available in black and white, plus a pet version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 square feet for $39.97.

Promising review: "This is so much easier to use than a spackling paste. As soon as I opened it, I tried it on a recent nail hole. Now I can't remember where it was because the product made the hole disappear!! Magic!" —Deb Christenson

Double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser to break down oil-based products like makeup and excess sebum that gets trapped in your pores. You then go in with a water-based cleanser to help get all the extra gross stuff off your face, like sweat and dirt. 

Promising reviews: "Works amazingly well! I’ve always used Boscia’s 'Makeup Breakup' oil cleanser, but hated that it leaves a residue behind. Anya’s formula, on the other hand, doesn’t leave any oily residue behind at all. Once you add water, it magically washes off, along with any makeup I had on. I double-cleanse with Anua’s deep cleansing foam afterward, but honestly don’t really need to because I feel this cleansing oil does a good enough job on its own. Highly recommend!" —Kristine Siple

"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser anI'm’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin; however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer. 

Promising review: "Our Tuesday at Disneyland was going great — until the afternoon heat and all that walking had me sweating more than I expected. Suddenly, my thighs were in open revolt, and every step felt like a villainous plot twist. That’s when my wife grabbed the Thigh Rescue out of the ever-abundant diaper bag. One quick application, and it was like Disney magic — my discomfort vanished, and I was back to enjoying the park with my family. Five stars for Thigh Rescue. If you want a little real-life magic on your Disney day, don’t leave home without it!"—Jake Averett

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

Promising reviews: "I honestly don’t know what kind of magic this is but this powder is AMAZING. I’m not one who writes reviews but had to come on here to say that I’m blown away at how well this works to absorb oil and shine and it keeps it away!! It feels so soft and your face will look and feel flawless. And the cute little compact is so convenient to throw in your purse without worrying about it making a mess. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself!" —Adrienne

"I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Promising review: "First of all, this is so much smaller than expected, which is great because I can squeeze it in my purse or pocket no problem. My T-zone has been ridiculously oily all of a sudden, and I was tired of touching my face and just feeling the oil. I found this, and omg, it really does magically zap up the oil, and I love that it’s reusable. I haven’t had to wash it yet, but it seems like, from other reviews, it continues to work well afterward. I don’t know how it sucks up the oil but after I roll it on my face, I can touch the area again and BOOM it’s dry." —Summer

"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.
