There’s literally a shower cleaner in here that requires NO scrubbing 🤯 (and I can confirm it works) — if that’s not some Harry Potter-level magic, I don’t know what is.

As a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, I can't believe that I get to search the internet to help you find the best, most unique, life-changing products for my job.

So, my dental hygienist and I have discussed that I might just be one of those unfortunate souls that generate plaque more quickly than others, which is a bummer because paying for extra cleanings is not fun. So, I decided to look for other ways to help calm down all that plaque that's constantly brewing in my mouth and discovered this pre-brush rinse by TheraBreath. I've heard wonderful things about the brand, but I always approach using things like this with skepticism. And lemme tell y'all... I'm SO glad I gave this a chance! My mouth has never felt so clean — even if I have a night where I forget or am too tired to brush. In the past, if that happened, I could literally feel the plaque buildup by the next morning. But with this, my teeth still feel so clean. I even got my boyfriend hooked. I'm so curious to see what my hygienist thinks when I see her next! 

Promising review: "I used this pre-brush rinse for half a year, not expecting it to actually do anything. However, when I went for a teeth cleaning, my dental hygienist confirmed there was less plaque buildup on my teeth, and they were easier to clean." —RB

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

I got these recently because when I forgot my toothbrush at home, a friend gave me a spare that had these double bristles. And I really got into the cleaning sensation I got with a toothbrush like this. It really does make my mouth feel extra clean. So, when it was time for me to get a new toothbrush, I went with this brand because I write about it so often. And this one, right here, y'all — truly blows the one my friend gave me out of the water! The handle is thick so you can get a good grip on it, the head of the toothbrush is much bigger, and the bristles feel of higher quality. I switch between using this and my electric toothbrush, and my mouth has never been happier!

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard; those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

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

Prefer briefs? Check out this similar seamless design with rave reviews!

Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every “seamless” thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around.  I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony

Get a set of six from Amazon for $22.48 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and eight color combos).

Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do in this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such a LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in three sizes, in a combo pack with a sponge and up to a pack of three).

To clean, all you do is use soap, water, and a soft sponge. Definitely avoid the dishwasher with this one, though.

Promising review: “Was skeptical, but this actually really works! It’s lightweight and thin to make storage easy, but it still feels well-made. This has been crucial for me as a working mom who often needs a quick thaw for dinner. I’ve used this for steak and salmon, and it’s a good size to fit several cuts. So glad to have this, what a helpful tool and time saver!” —Lauren

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 nasal dryness from allergies, 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

BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double-cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.

Promising reviews: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don’t know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you’ve been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." —A

"I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. This is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent daily use!! It also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" —Sarah Coleman

Promising review: "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 

FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has actually used this and says: "I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!"

Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." —Kimba

"The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth F

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44 (available in three scents and four other variations).

But many reviewers also note that consistency is key to seeing the best results.

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market. However, this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in packs of one and four). 

It comes with two heavy-duty waste bags that use activated baking soda to fight odors. Refill bags can be purchased separately, but many reviewers say regular grocery bags work just as well!

My partner watches dogs a lot, and I got him this pooper scooper to help with all the "lil' gifts" that get left behind from the dogs since we've watched a high number of them at once before. It is SO helpful; very easy on your back, saves you a ton of time because you're not having to bend over for every poop, and we both really love it.

Promising review: "Bought this to help me out since I have back issues. This is amazing! It really works great at getting all the poop and staying clean since you use a grocery bag on it each time! The rake doesn't get a lot stuck to it, but when it does, it is easy to wipe off in the grass! Definitely a back saver and worth the money!" —waterfalls26

BrüMate is a small business that specializes in mugs, tumblers, coolers, and other insulated products. 

Promising review: "The BrüMate is an absolute game changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container.

The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you’re hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold.

This includes two screen protectors, two cleaning tools, and one installation frame. 

Promising review: "It’s been about five months since I purchased this screen protector, and I have to say that it’s held up well. The screen is beautiful when the screen is off. I’ve had a lot of compliments on the screen protector, and after five months and a few light drops, it hasn’t cracked or gotten scratched up (minus a few wear on the screen like light scratches). Well-made and, overall, a great screen protector. Installation is pretty easy with the kit it comes with, and I still have the second unused that I may end up switching if at some point the screen actually cracks." —Timothy Jay

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 review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed, for optimal results. It goes on smoothly and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon Customer

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 'face lift.' 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 $11.97 (also available in a pack of three).

Promising review: "The days of wrenching and bearing down on jar lids are over. Throw out the rubber 'jar lid openers.' This simple device is truly amazing — with only the slightest amount of effort, EVERY jar lid opens effortlessly. There are little 'teeth' on this opener, so when you hold the jar and lid up against the V shape with the 'teeth' and barely turn the jar, the lid EASILY opens right up! It's the simplest to install, even if you have no 'handyman' skills. It comes with double-sided tape, just to hold it temporarily while screwing in the screws that come with it. The screws are self-starting — NO drilling necessary, and they're the perfect length for cabinets. Screwed right in effortlessly, and didn't punch through the wood at all. Literally took three minutes to install. And best of all, it's hidden from sight — doesn't show at all! The perfect jar opener, will use it always and forever!" —Juniper

UnbuckleMe is a family-owned small business that specializes in car seat accessories. You may have seen 'em featured on Shark Tank!

Promising review: "OUTSTANDING! I am a young grandmother in my 50s and TIRED of breaking my nails on the car seat fasteners. Both my granddaughter and I LOVE this gadget. She keeps it tucked inside the pocket of her car seat. I never have to look for it. When we make it to our destination, I ask her to get it ready. In SECONDS the car seat is unbuckled. What a godsend! Truly, if we had been in an accident or other emergency, it would have taken me several attempts to free my granddaughter. I consider this a danger! This little device makes car seats enjoyable again. The color makes it easy to find and it fits logically right where it's supposed to...no need to carry instructions. I cannot say enough about this product and would recommend it to everyone." —Winnie

But make sure you only use it on hard surfaces like tile, laminate, and sealed hardwoods. It also self-propels, so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!

Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen and entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time) I would buy another." —Customer

Poppy & Pout is a small biz that creates 100% natural beauty products.

Wow y'all — if you love you some mint, I mean, truly cannot get enough of it, then you will be over the moon about this lip balm. The scent is definitely bold, and you get a fun lil' refreshing tingle on your lips right when you put it on, too. It's also very hydrating. I love that I feel like it's actually moisturizing the skin on my lips instead of sitting on top of it. I also agree with the reviewer below that it might be more than something like the EOS version, but a little really goes a long way with this. So, I think their pricing, taking that into consideration, is really great. I can't wait to try more flavors as I've always loved a natural, but scent-forward lip balm!

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS LIP BALM! I normally use the EOS brand sweet mint lip balm, and I love it too, but this Poppy & Pout brand feels smoother and more silky going on and once applied. My lips rub together so easily, and the balm actually lasts and stays on for a while, even while drinking from a cup or straw (normally, the balm will rub off when your lips rub against the cup or straw after a few times). It is a little more expensive than the EOS, but this Poppy & Pout stick is actually very thick. It's double the thickness of one of the EOS sticks, so in my opinion, you're getting about the same amount for the same price. And my lips feel so much more moisturized after using JUST ONE TIME! I will order again!" —Leisa Blizzard

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in nine other flavors).

Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products. 

Promising review: "This product has become a must in our household! We discovered it while looking for another scent/odor control product that had a strong citrus scent to spray around a Christmas tree a year or so ago when one of our dogs suddenly decided that he was going to start peeing on the Christmas tree every night. Not only did it deter him from peeing on it, it smells fantastic, and now we use it all the time for any smells around the house, pet odor-related or not! It only takes one or two sprays as well, and the whole area smells fabulous afterward." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (also available in a fresh scent, two sizes and in a pack of two).

Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it, too!

Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of... At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" —MaddSweet

"I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc, for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens. They feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under), so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." —Samantha

Promising review: "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

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors and a mini version). 

It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee, great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces.

Promising reviews: "I use this on my wood floors and my rugs. I have three big dogs that shed like [wild]. It is the perfect shape and size to fit anywhere to get the fur trapped under couches, tables, etc. As soon as I got it, I tried it out, and my jaw dropped at how well it worked. It's completely made of rubber and molded so it won't fall apart." —Brittney

"This is the best $13 I’ve ever spent in my life. I’ve had it for three days, and I’ve told like 37 people about it. I don’t have carpet in my house, but I have rugs and hardwood floors, and giant German shepherd hair tumbleweeds. I’m not kidding; I felt like I was swimming in dog hair! I was sweeping with a regular broom several times a day, and it felt like I was trapped in a fur dust storm. My allergies were begging me to find a solution. I bought ALL the vacuums and blew up every single one of them, including an actual Shop-Vac. This thing somehow magically attracts all the dog hair and dirt in a neat little pile. I will buy this again and again until I die." —Kimber Leigh

"I usually sleep hot and our bedroom tends to get warmer at night, so I decided to try this cooling blanket. It arrived the next day and I’ve been using it since. I really like how it feels on the skin, it’s a smooth silky material and it indeed cools you off. It definitely works and I don’t sweat so much in the middle of the night. I sometimes use it during the day as well while working. It also looks really pretty and matches our bedroom decor." —nb

"Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers. They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics). They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." —Tonia

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review (#46) for more information!

Promising review: "I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been if I didn't have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, put beer cans inside them, and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks to layovers) and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed, too. It could have ended up a nightmare, but it didn't! My boots still have a little way to go to be fully broken in, but they're definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever." —lauren

If your shower isn't looking great right now, you can use this a few times in a row to get your shower shining brighter than a diamond, and then use it once a week for maintenance!

I went into using this as a total skeptic. My shower is one of those fiberglass ones, and the floor can get SO nasty. And then worse, at a certain point, it doesn't matter how hard you scrub; some stains are just not budging, which was really working my nerves. So, I decided to finally bite the bullet and try this out. I cannot stress enough how important it is to use it continuously a few times if your shower floor is not looking great to begin with. For the first month, I felt like I got scammed until I remembered that I needed to spray it every time my partner or I got out of the shower for a bit. Once I started doing that, it was like night and day in like a week, and now we spray once a week. It's not the best on mold, but there is actually a mold-specific version I'd like to try in the future. But overall, it's truly witchcraft! And then for some reason, the vanilla scent made me sneeze every time I sprayed it. So, I prefer the fresh scent because of that.

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.

A smidge of this and I look like I got a great night's sleep. I have bought this three times and have my Mom and two friends purchasing this regularly. It works, and one container lasts forever.

Promising review: "I am on my second tub and I convinced my sister and best friend to try it, and they quickly became believers and ditched their expensive brand that wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do. This product is so lightweight and hydrating. I am a mama of five, and my bags were for sure bagging this product took away, not only the dark circles, but minimized my bags to the point where my husband asked me what I had changed about my makeup. No change in makeup just a product that actually does what it claims to do." —Hayley DeMarco

Promising review: "These Scrub Daddies are the best thing to happen to sponges since the first person looked at a live sponge and said, 'I bet I could make one of those without killing a living sponge.' They don't smell! They clean like wizardry. And they last and last and last! I ordered these for the first time at my apartment, and I've ordered them again for vacation. Helpful tip: Great for cleaning knives.

Lasts perfectly for about a week with heavy use of hands, which is the longest I’ve had a nail polish last. Looks like you have a subtle milky polish. The pictures are with two coats, look even better in person!" —Jennifer

Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port so you don't always need a wall outlet. This product is an easy clean with its silicone bowl, and it gives my brushes the thorough, deep clean they need in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this item!!!! You will thank yourself!" —Analisa Gomez

Promising review: "Game changer. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but it has literally changed my skin!! The first time I used it, my skin felt tighter and more balanced. A week later, 2x a day, my skin is so much brighter. Better texture and even coloring. Pores seem tighter. Not a single pimple since. It looks so healthy. Whatever magic this is, it works better than any expensive designer skin lab crap that I've tried." —Np

Promising review: "My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May

Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years-old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez

Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. 

Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. 

Promising review: "Not to be gross, but when I lightly use this on my dry skin, I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use it on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don’t run too hard! Gentle strokes." —Juliet

"Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature at the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged as a new person. One that will no longer trust brand-name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." —Mandi Konesni

Brush with the Best is a woman-owned small biz founded by Felicia Leatherwood, a celebrity hairstylist, who is known for her innovative natural hairstyles on some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Issa Rae, Ava Duvernay, Jill Scott & Nicole Ari Parker.

Ok, listen Linda, Larry, and Leroy — this brush, right here... IS A GAME CHANGER! I have very, VERY thick, 4C hair that was an absolute nightmare to detangle as a kid growing up. It literally broke too many brushes to count and really made me so insecure about my hair. I discovered this brush while going to a talk with the founder (who has styled Issa Rae's hair!) when I was in grad school, and got it to try it out, but didn't think much of it at first. Lemme tell you, there aren't many things that I would say I'm using for the rest of my life, but I'M USING THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I know there are cheaper duplicates out there. And I know this is pricer, but I'm telling you it's worth every penny and then some if you have thick curly hair. It's so good that I have had this brush stolen twice from me — once by my mom and once by my sister. So now I just keep two on me at all times. And it's also fantastic at detangling wigs as well, especially synthetic ones. I literally can't understand why it works so well, but I don't care. It works. It's truly life-changing, and I gift it to anyone I know who either has thick hair or has a child with thick hair.

Promising review: "If you're thinking about this, GET IT!!! OMG, I have tried soooo many detangling brushes over the years that claim to help and have all failed until now! This brush is a miracle!!! It does what it says it does. As a natural curly girly, this hair makes wash day a breeze!! I love this brush 😍" —S. Baumann

Carpe is a small biz that creates sweat protection products for the whole body.

Promising review: "I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his life...it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery, and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. A couple of weeks went by, and I came across this product. I asked my son if he was OK with trying it, and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high-fives with his brother. It's been two weeks now, and it is working AMAZING." —Hector Lorenzo

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by it: "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes."

Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like, I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

Promising review: "I love this product. I had grown weary of my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears, or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise,) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face, and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." —Danyelle Brazell

BTW — These are a great swap for the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, which is pretty much *always* sold out.

My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer can vouch for these: "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!"

Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

Promising review: "Many of my appliances have a loose fit on my outlets, but with these in now, I don’t worry about my appliances being in a shortage because they fit so loosely. Definitely a quick, inexpensive fix to an annoying problem I had. Very satisfied." —Tania B. Delgado

Promising review: "I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick, and the Pinions pierced through with no problems! Plus, with a little extra room, if I had some extra layers. I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Absolutely no moving! Don’t walk, RUN TO BUY THIS.

My husband didn't want to drill holes, so this was our last resort. I've bought more; they work so well!" —J. Swanson

Flip It! is a small biz that is all about helping you get every last drop out of the products you buy with their innovative, bottle-emptying caps.

Promising review: "This gadget is FANTASTIC. We placed it first on a squeeze bottle of honey, always aggravated that the last third of a bottle of honey was so difficult to have at the ready. It doesn't change the height of the bottle, so it will store on the same shelf. It allows us to keep the honey stored upside down so every drop will be at the ready as the bottle empties. So impressed that it has a fail-safe cap so it closes off automatically when done squeezing the product, and eliminates concerns of leakage. They are substantially constructed and should last a very long time." —O. Sutherland
