Promising review: "I LOVE THIS MASCARA!! It has been Louisiana hot, humid weather tested and I did not wind up with raccoon eyes! I bought the waterproof version and am very pleased with it! I just bought some for my best friend, who is a dirt racer, to wear when she races! This came in a sealed plastic overlay. It was easy to remove with a facial wipe. So after previously spending big bucks on the 'fancy big name brands,' I found this gem and am very happy with it." —Bootlegger

FYI, "sateen" doesn't mean "satin"; it's a type of cotton weave that feels extra soft. You may have also seen "percale" cotton sheets — that's the other type of weave, which feels crisp.
Promising review: "Bought these strictly because of the color and cost to use in a guest room. A week after we put these in the guest bedroom, we needed to utilize that bed because we were painting our master. We slept on these and were amazed by the quality for such a low cost. We have always slept on expensive bedding. This set felt just as good. Time will tell how they age, but we have bought another set to use as a spare. Also, I want to mention the cooling effect of these sheets. Both my wife and I love to be cooler rather than warmer when we sleep." —The Dude

High-quality mattress, nice linens, and THESE pillows! They are PERFECT!!!! There isn't a single thing that can be improved because they are like sleeping on a cloud that supports you perfectly... 100 out of 10 stars!

"I love this suit so much I've bought it three times (once I took it to Peru and it got super dirty, so I bought another, then I lost weight and had to buy a smaller size)...

The ice roller is designed with a detachable head and handle, so you can store the roller in the freezer separately. When you're ready to use it, simply reattach to the handle (it clicks in place) and roll away! You can also get the double pack, which comes with two detachable heads: one metal and one gel.
Promising review: "So far I have bought a total of three. These are wonderful for headaches, migraines, minor aches, flushed cheeks, overheated or feverish faces, to close pores, to ease stress in the neck and shoulders, and so much more! This is my favorite because it comes with two types of rollers. (Definitely get the one that has the two types of rollers!) The metal gets icy and warms quicker than the gel bead roller. The gel bead roller stays cold for a good while. Both feel great on the skin and roll smoothly with no squeaky sounds. We use them all the time. If you really want to chill your skin for a long time, then I suggest buying more than one and just change the rollers when they get warm. Or if there is a chance a family member may take yours, then definitely buy more than one! This really helps with our migraines and when we get overheated in the garden. Hmmm, with the hot weather coming to Florida, I probably should buy a few more. I definitely recommend this item." —Renee Resseau
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors and with two rollers).

Promising review: "I love fans. I have slept with one every night for as long as I can remember. I NEED the white noise to sleep and I love the breeze. I already had a nice sleeping fan and a decent portable fan for travel... This is the most versatile fan I've ever owned. It has every feature I never knew I always wanted. It goes from my lanai, to my kitchen, to my bathroom, and in my suitcase for travel. It is almost perfect! They almost thought of everything. The only thing that would make this more perfect is if there was a charging indicator so I would know when it's almost out of juice. Luckily you can still use it while plugged in so if it runs out of battery power, I can still use it. Other than that, this is the perfect fan and travel companion." —Julie

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.

BTW, these sunnies are UV400 for the ultimate sun protection!
Promising review: "Absolutely have become my favorite pair of sunglasses, and I have many pairs. Very trendy and quite affordable. I am shocked at how durable they are for the price point. My sunglasses take a beating on my head, thrown in my bag, and I usually break them in no time, but these have stood up to my normal wear. They offer solid sun protection but not super dark, which I love. They fit the face very well, not oversized and huge but just right for me. Love them!" —NittanyLion

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.

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say: "I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation two years ago when I did carry-on, and as long as you are *thoroughly* reapplying, this stuff stays on pretty well. On a beach club afternoon, I did haphazardly reapply and missed a strip on one arm, but I tend to do that with spray-on or lotion sunscreen, too. Since then, I've packed this for any trip I've been on, including a two-day Disneyland trip where I toted this around in my bag and shared with friends. I sometimes carry it with me in my purse on my everyday adventures because I know it's so easy to apply. Also worth mentioning...I am about the palest lady you've ever seen and swear by daily application of sunscreen. But when on a beach trip, I'm constantly swimming in the water and sweating. So yeah, this stuff works."
Get it from Amazon for $9.88.
Promising review: "I am in LOVE with the concept of these. I cannot tell you how many times I asked myself the question, 'Should I put on more sunscreen?' when it's too late and I'm as red as a lobster. Big fan of the packaging and portability. A really ingenious idea. Here is to a happier, healthier future ahead!" —CopperStad

Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments.
Promising review: "It's been challenging to keep a black interior vehicle clean, living on a farm, with dirt driveway. ThisWorx corded car vacuum cleaner is the perfect solution. The slim cleaner has powerful suction, plugs into the cigarette lighter. The flexible hose nozzle reaches hard to reach places, including under and between seats. The 16-foot power cord will easily reach from the cigarette lighter to the back area of my SUV. My most used tool is the brush nozzle, excellent for cleaning contour seats. It's easy to clean the filter, just press the vacuum release button and shake out dirt. The simplicity, light weight, and functionality of this car vacuum cleaner will especially be appreciated by [anyone]. Highly recommend." —Patricia J.

Just FYI, some reviewers mentioned the suction power is pretty strong, so use it carefully!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

Promising review: "Who needs an expensive Ninja Creami when you get the same results [without] having to freeze the mixture? You freeze the base, and it makes ice cream/sorbet/frozen treat in minutes! I leave the base in my freezer and don't need to 'prep plan', I make what I'm craving, unlike the Creami, where you have to wait to enjoy the next day." —Amazon Customer

FYI — the micro-algae and bio hyaluronic acid work together in the formula to help control excess sebum and keep the skin hydrated underneath — plus, it resists oxidation, so the shade stays its true color!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has to say about this foundation: "About two weeks ago, I had a rough day which meant I was gonna treat myself cuz one thing ima always do is give myself princess treatment. So I filled my Sephora cart with beauty products I'd been dying to try. I knew I wanted a new foundation cuz all the high-end ones I love are great but they have their flaws. If it keeps me matte, it oxidizes, if it doesn't oxidize, I'm oily by the end of the day, and some even oxidize and leave me oily. I went to good ol' TikTok to see what people with oily skin were using and I found a lot of people who worked at Sephora saying they loved this foundation for oily skin. And since TikTok recommendations haven't failed me yet, I threw this in the cart. I didn't have super high expectations but I was excited to try. I used this then sprayed with my One/Size setting spray and holy crap, I found the miracle combo. I always forget to take pics but the gif above is me at 7 p.m. after having my makeup on literally all day. I did not blot once. For me, that is unheard of. My skin doesn't get dewy, it gets as oily as Five Guys fries and it's so annoying. I've never had a foundation work this well and do everything it says it'll do. This is hands down the absolute best foundation I've used for my oily skin and I've tried everything from Estée Lauder to Lancôme and this Nars foundation ateeeeeeee and didn't leave a single crumb. This is now at the top of my list. An oily-skinned person's dream come true, really."

Promising review: "Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Samantha Wieder included these on her "20 Products From Amazon I Fell In Love With This Year" and here's what she had to say: "I was pretty late to the bike shorts game, and I'm not really sure why. 9/10 times these days I'm dressed with comfort as my main priority — when you work from home, you find yourself buying more pieces with comfort (and breaks to go for a walk/the gym) in mind. I had tried bike shorts from other brands I wasn't the biggest fan of, but finally stumbled upon these, and they're too good. For starters, they're SO comfortable. Second, they have POCKETS! Super useful when I'm out and about and need a spot to put my keys and wallet but don't want to carry a bag! Third, you really can wear these anytime for anything. I wear them to work out, lounge around the house, etc. These bike shorts with an oversized tees or sweatshirt = kinda the most perfect outfit combo to ever exist..."

Promising review: "Super supportive. Most comfortable sandals I own. I had these in a tan color and loved them so much I bought the black ones. They have nice arch support and are pretty secure for a slide sandal. I walked for hours on a Saturday in these and my feet felt great. My back also felt good — not like after wearing the regular flat flip-flops. I will probably get another color. They run very true to size. You can tighten or loosen both straps for a more snug or loose fit as needed." —Lisa Lazaro

Promising review: "I wasn’t sure about the straps being enough to keep the shoes on my feet, but they were so comfortable and stayed in place without cutting into my feet as the day went on. I was able to walk around the zoo for seven hours with these sandals on and my feet were perfectly fine at the end of the day. The arch support is much nicer than your average sandal." —Erin
Get them from Amazon for $20.96+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and 17 colors).
Promising review: "A lifesaver! The compact design makes it easy to carry in your bag or pocket. The fan's performance is impressive; it generates a strong breeze for its size, instantly cooling me down on hot days. The noise level is pleasantly low, perfect for use in quiet environments. The battery life is impressive, lasting through extended outings. It's a must-have for anyone looking to stay cool and refreshed during summer or while traveling. We are thrilled with this handy little fan!" —Allie

Promising review: "This is an excellent ice pack for injuries, but I also found it to be surprisingly useful when it was really hot this summer and the power was out as a result of a recent hurricane.

Promising review: "Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I’ve used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." —DH
