1. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face.
Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off.
It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 2.
A wireless transmitter that plugs into a headphone jack, meaning you can DJ a long car ride via Bluetooth or get access to the free entertainment on a flight without having to — *shudder* — shell out for those tinny-sounding earbuds. Promising review: "I'm impressed with the adapter. Worked perfectly so far.
Sound quality is excellent. Please note there are many sound quality settings to rotate. Yes, it's annoying to be dealing mostly with a single button to do things, but that is inevitable to keeps costs down.
Assuming it lasts long as it should, the device is excellent." — Uva Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
3. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be. Why spend the energy scrubbing when pressing a drill button will do the trick? It's so important to delegate.
The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ( $29 on Amazon) that'll do the trick. Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side.
" — Traci D. Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and stiffness levels).
4. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that thousands of reviewers have said helped volumize their hair. The biotin can help fill out thinning hair and the nourishing ingredients like rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil can help moisturize.
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 $12.95 (available in four scents). 5.

You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain.
So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove.
I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." — MER Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack).
6. A fungal nail renewal formula to revitalize your tootsies by thickening nails and reducing discoloration. Feel free to plan to wear open-toed shoes next week — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days.
To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switch to applying once per day at night. 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. Even below the quick.
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 $17.
85 . 7. A garlic rocker that's faster and easier to use than a traditional garlic press.
It's also waayy easier to clean — best not dwell on the trauma of trying to fit a sponge into one of those things. 😬 I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old-school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle; it minces just the same.
This also comes with a (TBH, very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant. Promising review: "I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and is easy to clean.
Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable ." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors).
8. A roll of marble contact paper to give your home an instant dash of glamor. Reviewers like to use it on previously drab kitchen tables, bathroom counters, and Ikea furniture.
To apply, just unroll, position where you want it, sloooowly smooth it down with a credit card, and then trim the excess. Oh, and don't forget to wipe down the area you're covering first so it sticks. Promising review: "I absolutely loved this contact paper.
It completely transformed my countertop. It was super easy to apply, and if I messed up, it was extremely easy to redeem myself. I did this alone with no help, and I’m pretty proud of the outcome.
Took me about 30 min to complete it. I used the whole roll of the smallest option, and it was enough for me. Super awesome, and I will be buying more of this contact paper soon when I transform another room in my home! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! " — Mariah Get it from Amazon for $4.
49+ (available in six sizes). 9. And a fancy switch plate cover because HELLO everything in your home should be as fancy as you are.
Luxury is just one screwdriver away. Promising review : "This light switch cover is so beautiful, very easy to install, and feels like metal. It’s a lot sturdier and heavier than I thought it would be.
I recommend this if you’d like to add details to your home to make it a little more whimsical." — Christina Get it from Amazon for $22.50+ (available in 13 styles and seven finishes).
10. An interlocking tool that lets you maintain your locs at home. It allows you to get closer to the scalp without painful pulling or snagging and automatically adjusts to fit your loc size so you can extend the time between trips to the salon.
Promising review : " I went from paying $165 and up per retightening to no longer having maintenance costs . If you have locs this is a must, even if it’s only used between appointments to freshen up your edges. It comes in a nice case and pouch, so between those two, I have not lost the tiny item yet.
For me, this literally never happens because most small items I own are lost before I blink. Virtually pain-free compared to the sisterlock tool — because of its smooth coating, it glides easily through your locs. It is large enough to hold comfortably for hours because I am slow, and the instructions are easy to understand.
I have small to medium sister locks and could not be happier with the new freedom I have." — Kiara Hepburn Get it from Amazon for $7.99 .
11. An Erase-A-Hole putty to fill in pesky cracks in drywall, plaster, and wood so you can actually get that security deposit back, no matter how many holes you put into the wall. The super will not need to be called this time! The handheld applicator uses a custom formula that minimizes shrinking and withstands sanding.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! It’s super easy to use, and it flawlessly [hides] anything from nail holes to larger drywall anchor holes. Bonus that my walls are white and I can even get away with not repainting if I do a clean job! I hope they never stop making this stuff." — bookworm Get it from Amazon for $14.

I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup.
I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
14. An adjustable rod that hangs onto the one in your closet so you can double your storage space in a flash. There's no mounting hardware — just unbox and hang! Promising review: "This is the best closet organizer.
I originally bought a similar item that doesn't adjust, but this is 100 times better! Not only does it adjust vertically to fit whatever length of clothes, but it also adjusts its width, making it extremely functional no matter which closet you may want to use it in within your house. This makes it possible to switch and organize basically any closet! " — Ohgr8one Get it from Amazon for $18.87 .
15. A shoe stretch spray if you have a pair of gorgeous loafers or boots you love but never wear..
.because of the agonizing pain that comes with it. This spray will gradually stretch them out without staining or fading and is likely more effective than the freezer trick.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more details! BTW, Foot Matters is a small business that specializes in shoe-stretching products. Promising reviews: "My sandals were awfully tight on the top of my feet.

I've tried stretchers, hair dryer, wearing multiple socks — everything. I bought this stuff, and within a half hour, my problems were solved . Try this method first.
" — Susan Olson Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 16.
A wildly popular hair serum packed with vitamin E, aloe vera, and argan oil to ensure your mane stays silky soft, and frizz-free, no matter how gross the weather gets. Promising review: "I found this product through a BuzzFeed article for those with frizzy hair and THIS PRODUCT DID NOT DISAPPOINT, PEOPLE! I put this serum through the ringer; I got this to stand up to Bay Area fog AND the nasty, humid heat wave we got a couple of weeks ago. No frizz, no extra curls.
Nothing! On top of that, it made my hair super glossy. I'm very impressed. Heads-up though, a little goes a long way.
One pump is enough to cover my hair and I have medium-length hair. Also, it can make your hair look oily if you use too much. I do have oily hair so working on my ends first then working to my roots works for me.
" — Jazmine Carbajal Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . To learn more, check out our full write-up of this serum .
17. A piercing bump solution made with oils, including jojoba, grapeseed, and rose, to help gradually reduce the appearance of bumps and scars. Now that keloids can be managed, it might be time for that cartilage piercing you've always wanted.
This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic .
Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side.
If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).

The first pic was a week or so after using the fertilizer as recommended, on April 7, and the second is May 4. Of course, I keep away from my cat at this point. Highly recommended fertilizer!" — CustomerAmazon Get it from Amazon for $9 .
21. A Cat Dancer toy you can waggle in front of your feline whenever you wanna give them a proper workout. Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in.
It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog, and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly.
He loves it! I highly recommend it!" — Kwoo Get it from Amazon for $3.99 . 22.

FINALLY we can all be reunited with the sadly discontinued grilled cheese variety. The set comes with a square, circle, and double triangle. Promising review: "My household loves Uncrustables and I was going broke trying to keep them in the freezer but these cutters/sealers have completely changed that.
I just have to take some time each weekend to make a loaf of bread into PB&J sandwiches and throw them into baggies and into the freezer. Super easy to use, very straightforward. Definitely needed a little learning to not over fill the sandwiches but once you get the hang of the quantity to use everything will go quickly and smoothly.

It's as simple as wiping on and off! Promising review: "I got this product a few hours ago from Amazon and now have shiny floors! It gave the really dull hardwood floors of my prewar NYC apartment an impressive shine. Really impressive. A little goes a long way: I used only about two ounces to shine about 500 square feet of clean floors.
Before using it on the floors, I tested the polish on an old wooden side table that is scarred and needs sanding. It looked a lot better afterwards." — KindleCustomer2 Get it from Amazon for $4.

A good brushing means a silkier coat, which means less shedding, WHICH MEANS less vacuuming! My greatest wish is to go one day without cleaning up dog hair. :') Promising review: "Absolutely perfect for Nugget, my 9-month-old pug, it seems like he loves the feel of the brush because he happily sits for brushes. I can get about a baseball-sized collection of hair off of him and honestly, still can keep going.
It leaves his fur nice and soft and the brush is super easy to keep clean. I highly recommend!" — Tiffany Sparto Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available for short/medium and long hair and in eight colors).

99+ (available in four styles). 27. A gel lint roller designed to fit in the palm of your hand, making it easy to throw in a bag for quick refreshes.
It's reusable (just wash the lint and fur off), making it way more convenient than a paper roller, too. Promising review : "I am really glad I purchased this product. It's just the right size to fit into a purse or glove compartment, and it's the perfect solution for quick touch-ups when you're on the go.
I have a golden retriever, so the struggle to leave the house without any stray dog hair on my clothes is real! The roller ball is very sticky and allows you to clean up a decent amount of lint or hair, but it's not a large device, so bear in mind you won't be able to use it a ton before having to clean it. Cleaning is very easy. You just pop the sticky ball part out and rinse it.
I loved mine so much I bought one for my mother and mother-in-law. Each of them has pets in the house, and my mom told me the other day that she has used hers many times and loves it." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $7.

It adds a new variety to vegetables ; you won't be sorry, it's great!" — Debbie Z. Get it from Amazon for $31.33 .
