Do you remember how you felt reading the plot twist in Verity? These’ll evoke that same jaw-dropping, eye-bugging effect.

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

Check out a TikTok of the Volufiline plumping serum in action.

Promising reviews: "I’ve been using this serum consistently, and I’m honestly really impressed with the results. It gives my skin a much plumper, smoother, and more hydrated look, especially in areas where I wanted a little more fullness. It absorbs well, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and layers nicely with my other skincare products. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks healthier, more supple, and just overall more refreshed. A little goes a long way, so it lasts a while too. Definitely one of those products you have to be patient and consistent with, but it’s absolutely worth it!" —Amanda

"I am a 67-year-old woman, and I can honestly tell you that this serum is one of the most effective products I have ever used on my skin. It really does a beautiful job in plumping the skin. I use it every other day or three times a week for maintenance. Thank you to The Ordinary for formulating such an effective product at an affordable price." —Debbie Gordiany

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 review: "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

This is great for a bit of low-effort weekly maintenance, but if your shower is in need of a ~deep clean~, you can use this a few times in a row to get it all washed up before starting that once-a-week schedule. 

Promising review: "SO impressed with this product! Nothing was getting this buildup off the tub, and then I tried this upon recommendation. I am blown away by the results and how easy it is to use. No scrubbing, just spray, rinse after 24 hours, and go! Definitely will be buying this for the rest of my life. Also has a very nice light smell!" —Casey 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack). 

This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks.

Promising reviews: "I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall, especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I’d put a bandage over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don’t have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so, and this one was the best way. It does take some practice, but once attached, it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I’m a month in on the most severe toe, and no more ingrown toenail!" —Sandra L.

"I’ve had ingrown toe nails for years and tried everything with little-to-no luck. This clear brace is a life changer! The results come fast, the relief comes faster. Just follow the directions. It is pretty straight forward. I’m so glad I found this, I thought I was going to need surgery eventually with how intensely impacted my toes were." —Haleh Squires

The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "I purchased the Golden Toffee color on a complete whim, as I had never heard of this brand before. Didn't expect much since other color correctors in the past did literally nothing for me except frustrate me further. When I tell you how I almost fell out of my vanity chair when applying this the first time. I feel like my life has instantly changed for the better. It's so perfect for me and my severe dark eye circles that I'm able to use just a little bit of the color corrector ALONE on no makeup days and just go outside to run quick errands! Great coverage, great texture and blendability. Talk about a complete game changer for me. I love you, Catrice. Please don't ever stop making this product. AND THE PRICE???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? <3" —JennyWHOA

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

Promising review: This stuff is amazing. We are renting a home with manufactured dark wood floors that scratch easily. I have a three-year-old that likes to push furniture around and drop stuff, a giant cat with razor claws, and a father-in-law who has a boxer that scuffs up the floors when they visit. Spread it on with a rag and wipe it off, let it dry, and it looks shiny and amazing. It doesn’t fill gouges, but you almost can’t see them and can only feel them running your fingers over the surface. Serious 100/10 rating." —maximillion

Caffeine can temporarily smooth and brighten skin, if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Believe the hype! Yes, it does work! I have been using this for two months. I use it on my neck and face twice a day. One jar has lasted me two months; I am almost due to buy another. A little bit goes a long way. VERY moisturizing! I just lost a lot of weight and was insecure about my neck. This product made a HUGE difference in just two months. Thanks to TikTok for introducing me to this line. I will never be without it!!! I would love a massive bottle to use all over my body. LOL!!" —Amanda G.

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available in a two-pack). 

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 can benefit the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $15.19 (available in an almond or lotus scent and as a twelve-pack). 

This also works on other moldy areas, like grout lines and window frames. 

Promising review: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked, there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes). 

If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic.

For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "Between myself (medium/long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in a two-pack). 

Promising review: "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 

Get it from Amazon for $4.66 (also available as a two-pack). 

Reviewers with fine, thick, straight, and curly hair mention this works for them. 

Checkout a TikTok of the K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo in action. 

Promising review: "What sorcery is this????? I have found my holy grail dry shampoo!!!!! I was shocked, SHOCKED, from first application. I have thick, pin straight, Asian black hair, so dry shampoos usually have the same issue of showing up in my hair. I’ve been on the hunt for a dry shampoo that does what it claims — absorbs oil, 'cleans', doesn’t smell atrocious, and doesn’t show up on my dark hair! I’ve tried them all!! As a mom of two toddlers, I need something QUICK that WORKS. THIS IS IT. It sprays on wet (I know, I was skeptical too), and I shimmy my fingers through my scalp/hair. You guys — it literally SHAMPOOS your hair. It smells so light and fresh! I tried it for the first time on day five hair and it far exceeded any expectations I have. Then it dries within seconds and poof I have magical, clean hair. I don’t usually leave reviews for products, but for this, I simply had to. 500000 stars. Still in shock." —Hope

Get it from Amazon for $48 (also available in a travel size). 

Promising review: "I hope the person who invented this is living happily and rich because I single-handedly will keep them in business. I bought this when I had my son, but to my surprise, I use it for my OWN clothes more than his. I have a tendency to spill, and for years I’ve fought to keep shirts clean and stain-free. This. This is life changing for me." —Austin

Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two sizes, as a refill, in a pen style, and multi-packs). 

Promising review: "It really works! I was stunned how quickly the dead skin started sloughing off my feet! I sat tub side to make clean up easier — start with clean feet, spray product on feet, rub thoroughly and you’ll feel skin easily peel off, and wash feet with warm soapy water. My feet were quite rough so I expect it to take a couple more applications, but I’m impressed with the first try. They feel so much smoother. Usually a foot scraper creates these results, but this is as close as I’ve ever gotten without one. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, and it smells divine. It’s affordable, too, so it’s absolutely worth trying!" —Jeanette

Get it from Amazon for $5.48 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura

"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 was in shock. 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

This includes the scrubber tool and two refills. 

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Get it from Amazon for $12.94 (also available in other pack amounts). 

Promising review: "I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in packs of two and four).

Promising review: "This is a great way to keep your beverage cold while on the go. These are durable and last a long time. The print and quality of the pictures are amazing and detailed. I got size large, and it fits all travel-sized cups that you can get. There are so many patterns and color varieties for everyone in the household. The value for your money is worth it. I use mine all the time and have several different colors and prints. You can even get ones for each holiday if you like." —Jill J.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes, dozens of styles, and as a three-pack). 

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 1c–4c hair mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising reviews: "THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine, curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick, curly hair, and they said it works amazingly on them, too. Just do it once a week, and you're set!" —Mid-west

Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to the size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It’s absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —Taylor

It couldn't be easier to use — just dip the included brush in water, apply the cleaning solution to the shoe, then brush and wipe away!

Promising review: "I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." —Romario

Check out a TikTok of the Anua cleansing oil in action. 

I've tried out a couple of cleansing oils as an acne-prone, oily skin gal, and this is the one that earned its permanent place in my routine! Some have caused my skin to break out, and others have been too thick, but this one is the *perfect* consistency to actually get in my pores and draw out the gunk lurking in there. The first time I used it, I massaged it into my nose for a few minutes and got those bits on my fingers like the reviewer above (which is SO satisfying), and though it's not like that every time, it has truly helped with the size of my pores and leaves my skin feeling so soft, hydrated, and free of any makeup (ready to be followed up by a cleanser)! And when I've ever dared to doubt its power (when I ran out, or was lazy and skipped the step), I definitely saw the difference in my skin's texture — so it's here to stay for me! 

Promising review (for photo on the right): "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I’ve gone through 3-4 bottles now, and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly, it's heaven-sent. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum, and even now, when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don’t wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo." —rexichor

I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —Susan

Promising review: "I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it’s made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny."

Promising review: While planning for trips to Morocco, Greece, and Germany this year, I decided to get more serious about organization and the size of my bag. As advertised, these do cut back on the amount of space in the bag, but I was most surprised by the other benefits. First, it allows me to easily pack in two, three, and four-day increments, each in its own bag. This makes it really easy to put complete outfits in my wife's bag in case mine gets lost. Secondly, I started rolling the clothes as well, which in the bags makes them laid out like crayons. This makes it easy to find specific items without sifting through layers of clothes. Sifting through clothes is a big reason my bag becomes a mess toward the end of the trip. Third, the bags make it really easy to unpack and repack. Finally, everything is well protected from bugs, spills, dust, sand, etc.. I will never travel over extended periods without these bags!" —Amazon Customer

Just tear and put pieces of chicken into the shredder, place the clear lid firmly on top, and twist left to right to shred. 

Promising review: "Every time I use this tool to shred my chicken, I say, 'I’ve got to tell people about this!' I’m going to do that after this review. I make shredded chicken often, for tortilla soup, tacos, and enchiladas; sometimes chicken salad sandwiches. I used to struggle with the two-fork method; then I bought those big claws. Still struggled. This item is amazing. It truly grips the counter or cutting board, and with hardly any effort at all, my chicken gets shredded so good and without any frustration. Cleans up so easily. I love it!" —Jennifer K. Griffin

To use, squeeze 5–10 ear 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: "All that was inside my ears…. oh my god. I feel like a new man. I had a hard time hearing and really bad ringing in my ears forever, but flushing my ears out with these drops revealed why. I’m still in shock from how it felt to have and see all that leaving my ear canals, but I’m so glad I got these. $8 to help your hearing… don’t worry if you don’t see results until the fourth day. I thought most of it was out by then cause there was a minor amount of wax leaving my ears, but today, the last day, I realized there was so much more. It was really freaky but now I’m listening to Kid A by Radiohead and it’s like hearing it for the first time. Everything is truly in its right place." —Gabriel

Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here."

Promising review: "Holy crap!!!! I only wish I had a before picture. Our porcelain kitchen sink was just disgusting. My husband tried his best when we first moved in to get it to even resemble the original white, but the bottoms were just permanently stained a tan color. I gave up. Installing a new sink was added to the to-do list. I saw this product on a BuzzFeed article and bought it on a whim. It was cheap, and I figured it couldn’t make the sink any worse. Holy crap! I’m absolutely blown away. I used a scrubbing brush drill bit on my power drill and went in a quick circle around the basin. 10 seconds tops. Boom. The sink was white. Not just white. The brilliant, bright original white it was supposed to be. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I called my husband over, and he stared with his mouth open at the sink, then grabbed this stuff out of my hand. 'What the f- is this stuff!!?' I went to town on both sides excessively for probably 10 minutes total, and my ugly sink looks shiny and white again. No more new sink for us. I couldn’t be more impressed. I’m subscribed now!" —Danielle

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." 

Promising review: "I’ll admit it — I’m a skeptic by nature. When I saw all the glowing reviews calling this product 'life changing,' I may have rolled my eyes once or twice. But as a very Type A person who was [so over] dog hair everywhere (even after vacuuming), I decided to give it a shot. And… wow. Consider me converted. The reviews weren’t lying — this thing really is life changing. It’s become my new obsession, and I actually have to hide it in the closet just so I’ll stop using it." —-A
