Promising review: "I would give this sling 10 stars if possible! Been searching and searching for a sling that will stay on my shoulder (a huge feat), is comfortable, phone easily accessible, has organization, is not too small or huge, holds water bottle, constructed with premium fabric yet looks professional rather than like I’m ready for a day in the woods. This is it!! An awesome bag! Can be worn as a sling over the shoulder or as a crossbody. Perfection." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Best 10 bucks I ever spent! Oh my god, where has this simple, effective, ingenious device been all my life, and why hadn't I ever heard of it before? My 7-year-old got a bumble bee sting (yes, they DO sting and it HURTS). A few days later, I got stung by one. Then my 3-year-old got stung by one. Upon using this, it immediately stopped itching. I'd give this product a million stars!" —Me
Price: $9.95 (available in five colors, including packs of three)

It's suitable for ages 3–12 years old, and they must weigh over 20 pounds.
Promising review: "I've given other products 5 stars before, and if I could, I would give this one 10! My daughter is four now and always wearing a life vest, but I knew that she was ready to swim. I came across this while looking to upgrade her life fast and thought that, with the price being so reasonable, I would give it a shot. I could not be happier with the experience! She really wears the thing out too, using it three to five times a week and jumping in the water. It's so much better than a life vest because it goes with their natural buoyancy rather than encouraging complete dependence. If you're thinking about getting this, don't debate any longer — go for it, you won't regret it!" —ToddlersMom

To give context for the photo on the right: The reviewer first cleaned their living room with a Bissell, then followed up with the Shark. You can see how much more dirt and hair the Shark picked up that the Bissell left behind.
Promising review: "Holy mother of god, this vacuum is incredible. It sucked up so much dust and dirt from my carpet, it feels like a brand-new carpet and as if I've never vacuumed my floors before. 10/5 stars, would HIGHLY recommend this vacuum. A random video on Facebook of this vacuum sucking up glitter and various bits and sizes of confetti convinced me to buy this." —Maria Yuhas

To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.
Promising reviews: "I would give this product 10 stars if I could!!! This stuff has me in complete AWE!! It is a game changer, light, easy to apply with your fingertips, and looks AWESOME alone or paired with your favorite powder foundation! I’m going to be purchasing more and hopefully this product will be around a long time!!" —Cattipillar08
"I can’t believe this $6 product is better than the Nars, Bobbi Brown, and Charlotte Tilbury products that I have tried. I didn’t even set it, and it lasted all day in the 100-degree Arizona heat yesterday! I also have very sensitive skin, and this did not cause any reactions." —Charlene B.
Price: $6 (available in four shades)
Psst — these are also available with matching setting powders for a more matte look!

Promising reviews: "Dfyne is always sold out, so I decided to try these. I put them side by side with my Dfyne shorts, and they’re the exact same quality, just no brand names." —Anon
"There are a lot of workout bottoms for sale. These are popular for a reason. The high waistband gives reassurance as you move through your workouts. I may experience slight roll down if I'm doing a lot, but it's nothing like what I've experienced in other shorts/workout pants that were horrendous with roll down. I wash mine in my washer/dryer regularly, and I'm not encountering any issues. I'm comfortable wearing these as everyday shorts, I like the longer cut on the legs instead of being cut too close to the booty. 100/10 would recommend." —haley
Price: $24.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL, three lengths, and 45 colors)

Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Promising review: "Watch out sliced bread, there's a new unit of measurement in town. I used the larger diameter flat brush for 90% of the shower. Glass, tiles, floor, I drilled it all. I used the toilet brush-shaped head for corners and the slopes, and the smallest brush for hard-to-reach spots. There were spots of mold my wife and I tried to scrub....and scrub.....and scrub in the tiles grout that we could never get out. After subjecting the mold to the unbridled power of my drill and these brushes, it went running and screaming to the drain. After ceasing my maniacal laughter, I stopped to marvel at the fact that something we've scrubbed with hand brushes for hours, literally, was clean in a matter of seconds. Since I cannot rate items 100+ stars on Amazon's limited rating service, I was forced to give this product a mere 5-star review." —Daniel Rose
Price: $18.95 (available in six bristle types)
The set comes with one spiral-bound pad with four aqua art sheets, four story sheets, and the water brush pen.
Promising review: "The best invention ever. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. These are the best coloring books ever. You just add water to the pen and they can color away! They’re reusable and don’t make a mess, so you can use them at home, in the car, without tight supervision. I can just give my daughter the coloring book and not worry that my whole house will be covered in crayon or marker. And the best part is that it fades and she can do it again and again!" —michelle kelly

Promising reviews: "Wish I’d bought this years ago. Best thing for cat puke. It’s really that simple. Use a good shampoo additive, and ta-da! Like magic. Works so much better than any other method. Seriously." —Charlee L.
"This machine is amazing. Easy to fill the solution, clean with and clean out after. I would give it more time than 5 stars if I could!" —Jacqueline
Price: $123.59
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them.
Promising review: "I always read the reviews before I buy them. If I could give this product 1,000 stars, I would. Just buy it and see the difference to your hair. I have thick, wavy, shoulder-length hair. This hair dryer got my hair really salon-perfect. It cuts hair-blowing time in half and leaves my hair frizz-free, silky, and soft. Love this product soooo much that I threw out my blow-dryer and brushes. I now only use the Revlon!!!!!!!!"—Antonella M.

It's recommended for ages 8 and up! Here's how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!
BTW, Dolphin Hat Games is a small business that specializes in family-friendly card games!
Promising review: "So much fun — I wish I could give it more stars! I have had such fun playing this with my 6- and 8-year-old grandchildren! It is easy to learn, but so much fun. Even better, it is a game you can fit in when you don't have a ton of time (it can be played quickly, unlike Monopoly, haha...). Quick-moving and hilarious — you won't be sorry you made this purchase!" —MiniDiana

Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Last year I broke both arms and had surgery on a few things, which left me with nasty scars. :( As soon as casts and bandages were all gone, I immediately started using this oil. I don’t use very much, just a couple of small drops, but oh man, can I see a difference. I will always have the scars; nothing I can do to take those away, but this oil has changed the color of the skin on and around my scar to its natural color. Like I said, I don’t use much at all — I purchased it a year ago and still have over half the bottle left." —Sara

This personal makeup assistant comes in three different finishes — matte, dewy, and plump. Fun fact: The reviewer in the second photo said they worked a 12-hour shift bartending and thanks to this setting spray, their makeup still looked fabulous.
Promising reviews: "If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Makes my makeup last all night!" —Jillian
"Amazing makeup setting spray. I was very skeptical at first because it looked too good to be true for the price, but this little bottle works like magic. I apply my makeup early in the morning, and it lasts the whole day without melting down. Even in the warmest days, my face is never shiny or oiled, and I tend to sweat a lot on my face. I have very sensitive skin and suffer from rosacea, and this product does not irritate my skin. I'm sold. Already bought a second one for my makeup bag." –Feisty Shopper
Price: $9.97 (available in five finishes and several packs)
Promising review: "Bought for concerts and festivals — holds everything needed and then some! Nice thick and flexible clear plastic with very strong stitching and a very comfortable adjustable strap! I went to a festival, and there were some massive torrential downpours that sprung up. I was pretty well soaked to the skin. NOTHING inside the bag got wet at all! Not in the outside pocket nor in the main bag compartment! Absolutely giving this bag 5 stars, and would give it 10 if I could!" —Leeta Nor
Price: $13.99+ (available in three sizes and 25 colors)

This product is designed for use on all hair types!
Promising review: "I had low expectations for this product to work because curls from a curling iron fall out of my hair pretty immediately. I was blown away by how well these heatless curls turned out, though! It’s easy enough to do, but there’s a bit of a learning curve to getting the curls tightly wrapped. It takes less than 10 minutes, and my hair is ready to go when I wake up. I’m a side sleeper and find it a tad uncomfortable to sleep on, but it’s a small price to pay for curls that last all day, in my opinion. I’d give this 10 stars if I could — truly a game changer that’s made my mornings so much easier." —Stephanie
Price: $15.98 (available in 12 styles)

Promising reviews: "If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! I have been on the hunt for jeans for so long, and I finally found them." —Zoë Van den Berg
"This is one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32 and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it’s longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." —Peace
Price: $79.50 (available in women's sizes 24–34 and four denim styles)

But wait, there's more! It's packed with hyaluronic acid and squalane, which means your skin gets a delicious drink of hydration every time you wear it.
Promising reviews: "With this, I can just skip the primer and even the moisturizer (but I still try to at least get some sunscreen in there, which we all know is very important), which saves me a ton of time and also allows me to be able to go out to run errands, etc. without worrying about my makeup/skin/how I look! And for such an affordable price, it's a very rare value!! Believe me, please, when I say that this product is true 'magic-in-a-bottle' that smashes all those other similar products to bits!" —Tami
"100 stars!! Perfect as a base for your foundation if you’re going for the glass skin look. Leaves a dewy finish and feels great." —Shelly Melanson (Magner)
Price: $14 (available in 14 shades)
Promising review: "12 out of 10 stars. Wow, just wow! I waited two weeks to post, and my skin has totally transformed in those two weeks. My dark spots are nearly gone, pores are definitely less visible, and my skin just feels so clean and clear. I notice a huge difference when applying makeup now. I use it with a toner, and I use it only at night, just because I’m not great at applying SPF during the day. This will definitely be a part of my skincare routine now." —Lauren
Price: $14+ (available in two sizes)

Promising reviews: "I would rate this 10 stars if I could. The entertainment value is impeccable! It entertains my 2-year-old toddler for hours! The quality and design of it are perfect! I have recommended this so all my friends with toddlers. It’s a great sensory toy!" —Amber Goolsby
"This stuff is great! I got it for my grandchildren. No mess, smell and easy to clean up! It's like magic. I liked playing with it too. It's great for if you need physical therapy for your hands." —Van
Price: $15.18 for a 3.25-pound bag (also available with a castle playset)

For that va-va-voom look, simply spray this product onto your damp *or* dry locks, focusing on the roots. Style your hair as you wish, and lock in the volume by using a blow-dryer for results that last all day.
Promising review: "If I could give this product 10 stars, I would! I have a cowlick at the crown of my head that I struggle with daily. Saw this product and bought the small one to give it a try. Oh my gosh, it works!!!’ Even the next morning (which, after sleeping, is at its worst), and it was still covered, I was shocked. Now I wish I had bought the bigger bottle. Truly the best product for this reason I’ve ever used, and I’m a hairdresser, and I’ve tried many, many products. Highly recommend." —Jillian Feltz
Price: $12+ (available in two sizes)
Promising reviews: "The mirror is very easy to set up and perfect for its price! It’s portable, nice, and of good quality. 100/10." —Oracio Lopez
"This has helped me so much to do my root touch-ups and toning at home. I can see better the sides and back of my head. The size is perfect, and the height is adjustable. It’s folds conveniently into a thin mirror, making it easy for me to store in my small bathroom cabinet." —Jenny G
Price: $17.79+ (available with or without lights)

You can use it on feet, elbows, knees, and hands. It's made from natural ingredients such as aloe vera, safflower oil, chamomile, and tea tree oil.
Promising review: "First off, I NEVER write reviews. But this is such a miracle product, I had to say something. I have had the hardest, driest feet with major cracking for almost my whole life (nearly 50 years!). I have tried numerous products. I pretty much had given up. But then my neighbor recommended this cream. I was skeptical at first, but after using it for about a month, I could not believe the change! My feet are SO MUCH BETTER! Not the hard, cracking feet anymore! Even my nail tech shakes his head in disbelief every time he sees my feet. He just can’t believe it! He now recommends this to his clients! I use it 5-7 nights a week. Put the cream on the feet, put on some socks, and leave it all night while I sleep. I cannot stress how big of a miracle this stuff is!! I am still in shock at how good it is! I wish I had before pictures, but it was REALLY BAD!! Not anymore!!!! I would have given this 10 stars if I could!" —Shari Curley
