Read More Your life is about to be supremely upgraded. ✨ I'm a resident writer, cat mom, and obsessive online shopper who is passionate about quirky pet products, home decor, size-inclusive fashion, and, above all, perfumes. Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie 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. 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 "Wow, does this work amazingly! I discovered this from a TikTok video, and I am so pleased with how this works. It is literally like magic; my feet have never been this soft." —Brian Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 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. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "Psst — 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)." Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in four sizes). The before and after above shows results after the reviewer used the cream for two weeks. Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. Promising review: "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 Get it from Amazon for $11.89 (also available in a three-pack). Read more about essential oils and morning sickness at Mayo Clinic, peppermint oil and nausea in one small study at the National Library of Medicine, and aromatherapy at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with these! As someone who suffers from frequent nausea, these are a lifesaver. I always bring one in my purse on any long car rides, plane travel, etc. I even keep one at my desk. This is my go to for nausea and it works pretty much immediately. I have recommended it to many people now who love it too. It’s easy to use and super small so easy to put in your pocket and have whenever you need it. Love that it is made with natural ingredients as well." —Heather "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 Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a four-pack). Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at the 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 the Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Promising review: "Miracle worker. My eyes were red for two days from my eyelash extensions because of irritation, and I tried two eye drops from the drugstore. Neither worked!! I ordered these from Amazon because of the reviews, and they worked within 30 seconds. I was genuinely so impressed. Highly recommend, and they are also super hydrating." —GB Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. I got this for myself and was so impressed that I bought some for my mom — and she loves it now, too. I'm on my third tube, and she's on her second. Whether you're in your 20s or your 60s...I have a feeling you'll probably *also* be obsessed with this. Promising review: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith Promising review: "These earplugs are so good!! I had originally bought a completely different brand (because I was being cheap), and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I found these Loop earplugs and decided to give them a try and I’m so glad that I did! They are so comfortable! Made from silicone so they are flexible and fit great. I’ve slept with them in all night without issues. The noise cancelling is fantastic! Now does it block everything? No, but I think that’s a good thing for safety reasons. They do block my husband’s chainsaw snoring and that is exactly what I needed them to do." —melanie98837 Get it from Amazon for $20.95. (Available in four colors; check out Loop's Amazon Storefront for more options related to concerts, offices, and parenting!) Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. Promising reviews: "Pure magic. This stuff blurs and conceals fine lines like I have never seen. Also stops me from being shiny and oily, but keeps skin glowy." —Tia C "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 Get it from Amazon for $25 (refills also available, plus a cute keychain case to attach to it your bag). Promising review: "I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" —Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four styles, including a two-pack). Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in four pack sizes). Check out a TikTok of the gaming pillow in action. Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield Get it from Amazon for $52.79+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Read more about aromatherapy and stress/tension at Johns Hopkins. Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell Read BuzzFeed's review of the migraine stick for more deets! Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $18.81+ (available in two scents and two sizes and a two-pack). Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and after a few minutes feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." —Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in four sizes). Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots! Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). Promising review: "I have a medical condition that makes my skin VERY sensitive to fabrics, and I am a hot sleeper. I can't tell you the number of sheets I buy in a year that I have to return because I feel like my skin is on fire when I lay on them. These sheets are heaven-sent!!! I will never buy any others. They are so soft, very comfortable, and keep me cool all night long. They wash very nicely but tend to wrinkle if you don't get them out of the dryer right away. But once I stretch them out on the bed, the wrinkles tend to go away. The quality of the fabric is exceptional and not cheaply made. They are a great value for the money, as I have spent way more for way less quality. I would highly recommend!!" —bobsbaby406 Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 22 colors). Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available with nail files). Promising review: "Earlier this week my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700 but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain free. They are comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." —Charles Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $15.33 (available in larger packs and with included dental floss). Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues. Promising review: "Love this thing!!! The little slots to push in pills are fantastic, and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price, and it looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one day's worth of pills, set it on my counter, and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "I saw some hype about this L'Oreal Collagen Bounce serum, so I decided to try it. Wow! I put it on at night, it felt good on my face and neck skin, but the best part was how my skin looked and felt in the morning. Nice job, L'Oreal, keep new products like this coming!" —peggy366 Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don’t have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin Get it from Amazon for $24.66+ (available in nine colors). Promising review: "I’m really glad I did. This is so easy to use. It’s so quick and easy and removes really tough stains, and it smells great. I have already used it to clean the inside glass of the oven and to remove stubborn stains on my bathroom tiles that my regular bathroom cleaner couldn't remove. Really good product." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available on its own without the sponge). Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use. Promising review: "This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors). Read more about how menthol can help with temporary pain relief at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Biofreeze's Dry Stick has been a game changer format for me!! I really love this convenient little version I can take on the go, and fits in the palm of my hand. The product does not feel greasy after it dries and gives the cooling relief I love from Biofreeze menthol products. It has been super easy to apply and mess-free for me. Will be buying again for sure." —Lisa M. While weighted eye masks have even less evidence than blankets do and very well may be placebo, they’re a similar concept to weighted blankets. You can read more about what weighted blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again." —AJ BuzzFeeder Emma Lord says, "I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say 'good riddance' to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without ever getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show it off." Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three color duos). Promising review: "Best cold cuts storage ever! I’ve used this container for storing sliced cheeses and sliced deli meats and I absolutely love it! Keeps them fresher longer and looks nicer sitting in the refrigerator! Win win!!" —Mandolin Buglar Get it from Amazon for $25.83+ (available in four styles). Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app. Promising review: "I normally never review products, but I genuinely could not live without my Hatch alarm clock after getting it! My sleep quality has improved so much since I started using it! I listen to pouring rain every single night while falling asleep and I sleep like the dead! Waking up is so much easier with it too, no more waking up frazzled and trying to find the right button to turn off your alarm in the dark! There’s one button for snoozing/turning off your alarm, and I wake up to relaxing music. You’re probably thinking, 'Oh gosh, light, music, or nature sounds aren’t going to wake me up,' because I thought the same thing, but it actually works! I also enjoy going to sleep more now. I set a 'bedtime' on my Hatch and it does a 30-minute countdown, then starts playing whatever sound you want until you’re ready to go to sleep. I use this time to read and it makes me not reach for my phone to doomscroll for hours! I know it’s expensive for an alarm clock but it is so much more than that and truly an investment for your sleep!" —jacob Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors). 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!

Sweetzer and Orange is a small business specializing in planners, stationery, and educational products. Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, and does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles). Comfilife is a small business that specializes in comfort-based personal care products. Promising review: "Life-changing on a long trip! My partner wanted us to drive from Colorado to California. I wanted to fly because I had a fall, and half of my body was in pain. He talked me into it, so I purchased this pillow for the car ride. What a game-changer! It helped so much with the pain, and I would recommend it for anyone in the car!" —Nadia Get it from Amazon for $37.45 (available in three colors). Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. Promising reviews: "Finally, a good viral TikTok recommendation lol. These towels have definitely changed the game when it comes to my skin routine; I’ve noticed less breakouts! The best part about these towels are that you can cut them in half and get more for your buck! 10/10 recommend." —Ariel "SO absolutely worth it! I have had acne for years, and even though I take medication for it, I was still having random pimples — especially during hormonal fluctuations. I never even thought it could be the towel I was using to dry. My sister suggested I try these to help keep bacteria away, and I'm so impressed. They're really thick, so they completely dry your face, and I even use mine to wipe up my countertop after washing my face. They're pretty soft, too, so they won't cause irritation. I love how easy they are to travel with, too — they have travel-sized packs! My skin barrier actually feels much more protected after I use these because they're not harsh and scratchy. I'm really impressed with this product and will be a customer for life." —Derek O Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95 (available in four styles and in multipacks).
