Your friends will think you made up this gross coloring book and these artistic Band-Aids, until you show them proof.

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.

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

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

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 

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

Promising review: "Great beginner's deck! Original imagery, detailed guidance on the card including the meaning in the upright and the reverse, yes/no/maybe, the planet, the astrological sign, the Chakra, and more!" —Shawna

Get a set from Amazon for $22.99 (available in four languages). 

Promising review: "Absolutely love it. Elvira has been my idol since I was a kid, so I had to buy this for my 5-year-old daughter. She made me read it to her about six times in a row as soon as I took it out of the package." —Teresa Morato

Each kit includes four natural crystal-filled geodes, one pair of safety goggles, one display stand, and one learning guide.

Promising review: "I’m an adult in my 30s, but I was such a rock nerd as a kid, so when I saw this kit I knew I had to buy it! I ended up buying it for myself and my adult siblings as a Christmas present — we had so much fun cracking open the rocks on Christmas Day, it brought be back to my childhood! Highly recommend this kit, you get a lot of rocks for the price, and it’s so fun cracking open a rock and discovering what’s inside." —Anna

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

It's great for many skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination!

It's recommended that you do a patch test 24–48 hours before applying this all over your face, as it's a strong, concentrated formula. After that, apply three to five drops once daily and follow with a moisturizer (ideally one with SPF if you apply in the morning!). Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it'll last you several months with daily use.

Promising reviews: "I ran out of Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, which I love, but didn’t want to spend $169. After reading glowing reviews, I gave this serum a try. Wow! Just as effective for a fraction of the cost. It smooths your skin and reduces my bumpy texture. At 62, I no longer break out, but now have milia. This product, along with Paula’s Choice BHA, is slowly reducing the milia and improving texture. Buy it!" —ramonalisa

"Best $20 ever spent!!! The results are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews were from Caucasian [people], and I was slightly worried that my skin would not respond as well, but I was quite mistaken. With or without makeup, my skin is bright and smooth, and my spots are disappearing. One other result I am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too; I guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple." —Mayowa O.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat that likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Aromas include lemon, rose, jasmine, and more. 

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through repeated flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

Promising reviews: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

"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 a two-pack from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available individually and in a four-pack).

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody that has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

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

It comes with 6 sewing feet, a 3-piece needle set, a twin needle, 4 bobbins, a manual, and more.

In case you don't know where to start, check out this sewing basics guide. 

Promising review (from a beginner): "So simple and easy to use and thread! I have three other machines that were given to me, but they are much too complicated for me. I saw a review on YouTube for this machine and absolutely fell in love with it. Buy it, you won't regret it." —Bodega Bwin

Promising review (from a sewing machine veteran): "Easy to thread, great selection of stitches. Over the years, I have gone through a few Singers. So this time I wanted to try Brother. I’m so happy I did! Definitely worth the price. It’s on the cheaper end and does well! My niece is 13, and it’s easy enough for her to start on as well." —tanya c

Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in 10 bundle types).

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.09 (also available as a two-pack).  

Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that’s SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they’re SO expensive. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it’s adorable.' These also work as [an alternative to] the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)" —evalyn evoke

Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four designs/shapes as well as multipacks). 

Shark's air-styling tool comes with four attachments: an oval brush (for a voluminous blowout), a paddle brush (to straighten), a styling concentrator (to dry and style), and an auto-wrap curler (to curl, of course!). 

Promising review: "This hair dryer/styler is so powerful, it saves me so much time getting ready daily. I have extremely thick, curly hair, and it dries my hair in 15 minutes or less, as opposed to my old blow-dryer that took at least 30/40. It’s small enough to travel with all the attachments. I love that it has different heat settings so I can use it on my daughter as well, with less heat! It is so user-friendly compared to the Dyson Air Wrap/Dryer." —Madisen

Get it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in sets with hair attachments for curly and coily hair, all hair types, and a special edition copper color).

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 review: "I saw these on a BuzzFeed list and was instantly sold! I hated running out of brushes when doing my makeup, and using multiple 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

It works for all curl types from 2a–4c. 

Promising reviews: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

"My baby has curly hair, and since the texture is a lot different than mine, I have been trying out different products for her hair. I saw this one on TikTok and decided to give it a try. It is slowly becoming one of my go-to products for her! It does not leave the hair crunchy at all, and it moisturizes her curls nicely. Also smells good!" —Heather 

Get it from Amazon for $4.22 (also available in a two-pack). 

Promising review: "The Cinnamon, the crunch and the holy toast! When I tried this for the first time, I was transported back to when I was a teenager eating cupfuls (that’s right, who has time for bowls) of this cereal after school. I bought this “seasoning” (Is it a seasoning?) to add a little “pep” to my protein coffee shakes. Just a sprinkle on top and all is right with the world." —Nell Sisco

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

Check out a TikTok of the nausea relief inhaler in action. 

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 review: "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

Promising reviews: "Charming little book that is perfect for this beginner. It was well described and delivered on what it described. Very happy with this purchase." —Amazon Customer

"I gave these as presents to an 8- and 10-year-old, and they loved them. The outline of the picture to be painted is perfect, and the instructions are very easy to understand. The only thing I would add is to try the paint color on a separate sheet of paper before coloring the book." —Renee Gardner

Promising reviews: "I’m pleasantly surprised by these shoes! I bought the real pair of Chanel slingbacks and returned them bc they were very uncomfortable in the toe area, so I’ve been searching for an [alternative]. These look really good and are comfortable to wear. I always wear a 6 and based on reviews I sized down to a 5.5, which was a good call bc they fit perfectly."—Amazoncouple

"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow, but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" —shinyliberty

Get it from Amazon for $43.56+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors).

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how well these Boogie Saline Nose Wipes work! While the package was smaller than I expected, the quality more than makes up for it. The wipes are incredibly moist, making it easy to clean a crusty nose without any irritation. They’re gentle yet effective, and the saline helps loosen stubborn mucus effortlessly. A must-have for little ones (or even adults) dealing with stuffy noses. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!" —Kindle Customer

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

It has over 35 pages filled with icky stuff like flesh-eating bacteria and parasitic worms.

Promising review: "This creepy book is not only fun to color, but it’s actually informative too. Each page has a picture of a disease and then information on the disease itself! I thought that was pretty cool. Color gross stuff and learn. It’s got a good amount of pages to color, and each one has a different picture." —Shelbe Clark

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. 

My review: I got this when it first dropped, and I was so sad when they temporarily sold out. I was very picky with who I shared with because I did not want to run out. I have been a fan of Touchland because they are so easy to spray and leave my hands feeling soft. This one has such a lovely vanilla scent that if (on the real) you aren't into sweet scents, this might not be your favorite. It's not super overpowering, but definitely smells sweeter than some of their other scents. The case itself is glittery which made me love it 10x more. Like, it looks so cute when I pull it out, and I get immediate compliments. I WILL be buying a few backups! 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is v into this scent too: "I have been a fan of Touchland sanitizers for years, because they smell SO good, feel great on my skin, and most importantly, never, EVER leak in my bag. I can say with glittery certainty that this edition takes the CAKE. It has the perfect subtle vanilla sweetness without being overpowering (which is important to me, because most of the time I'm spraying this right before a meal with pals or after being on the train — aka, very public spaces)." 

Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $36+ (also available in ten different multipacks; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves it: "I....can't stop eating this sauce. It was an impulse buy when browsing at Stew Leonard's (IYKYK), and it's turned out to be one of my favorite spontaneous grocery cart additions. I've since seen it on TikTok, and for good reason — the sauce is sweet and thick (kind of like an eel sauce viscosity) with just the right hint of spice for me. If you love spice, you'd probably need to add some chili oil, which would also be delish. I put it on a lot of things (it would be good on cardboard, frankly), but one of my favorites is to slice up a cucumber — and half an avocado if I have it — drizzle on this sauce and add some toasted sesame seeds. The perfect side dish or snack! I just bought the 16-ounce size bottle, so I don't need to worry about running out as quickly. Bonus: the larger size bottle also has a twist cap instead of a pop-off cap (the pop-off is kind of annoying and gets a little messy and makes the sauce harder to shake before drizzling)."

Promising review: "Seriously, don't read it. Stop. Cease. Desist! Read no further. You're still here? Very well. You're wasting valuable time you could be using to order this sauce. I've ordered several bottles and it's good enough to eat over rice with nothing else added. Superb! Go buy yourself a few bottles. Right now. Go!" —NumeralXVI

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four flavors, two sizes, and a variety three-pack). 

Promising review: "This dustpan and broom are such a lifesaver, or I should say BACK saver. No more bending down to finish sweeping up — you just pop this little pan down and sweep it all into it without ever having to go down to floor level. I really like the design, it is easy to take around the room, and when you are done, it retracts back toward the handle, the broom clips onto the handle, and it takes up very little space in your closet! I think it does a wonderful job of picking everything up, too. I did not find it left any residue behind whatsoever. So the rubber piece at the front of the pan really does lay flat enough to help you gather up even the smallest particles. Can't believe I waited this long to purchase something like this. It will work both in the house and on the patio or front porch. Very happy with it." —Diane

Price: $25.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had it for a few months now, and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Best brush hands down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K

Promising review: "I literally wear these covers all the time. They really are seamless, and I love the shades they have; these blend perfectly into my skin tone. As someone with small breasts, strapless bras never really were for me, as they always rode down, and I would have to adjust them throughout the day. With these, it’s just so much more comfy, and they really are sweat-proof; they do not budge. I live in California, and it’s summer right now, so it’s been like 85–95 degrees, and I can wear these with no issue!! I wash them after every wear and put them back in the casing it comes with." —Marilyn Miranda

Get them from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in three sizes, five shades, and two styles).
