Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. I have dark circles above my eye/eyelid and under my eyebrows. I applied a very small amount, and no dark spots at all.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad. I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful; I love the smell, and it's not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Vicky Reyes

You'll get one device and two glue cards.

Promising review: "We have a door in the kitchen that leads to the yard, and live in a wooded area. We always have small bugs coming in through this door because we are always in and out with the dog. There was a week or two where we were seeing gnats or flies EVERY DAY. After we bought this, we saw a major difference. We don’t bother trying to kill anything now, as they all eventually follow the light. We leave it plugged in all day and night and love the results. We have four more replacement cards, and they don’t fill up easily, so I can see the cards lasting a while. My favorite part is that it acts as a night-light, and the sticky part is on the back, so we don’t even see the flies sticking to it until we unplug. Love the sleek and simple design of the plug-in as well. I’m so happy I don’t have to take out the swatter anymore. Highly recommend this product!" —Priscilla

Get it from Amazon for $12.97.

Amazon

Promising review: "Some in our party were forced to check their carry-on bags due to a lack of space on the plane. Our connecting flight then got canceled, and we ended up on a different plane. Some of the bags didn’t make it, and these Tide sink packs SAVED US! We were able to keep a rotation of things clean while we waited for our bags. I was ASTONISHED at how much sweat and grime came out of my clothes after a long, hot day of travel! Won’t travel without them ever again." —Kristin St. Martin

PSA: You will have to commit to consistent use; that's the only way reviewers say they were able to see results. The brand recommends applying twice a day. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It can measure up to 3 feet, so it's better for measuring smaller things.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend it. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

It only takes a couple of minutes!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m actually shocked at how well this product works. I can’t even wrap my head around it. You spray it on the rough spots on your feet and start to gently rub, and the dry, dead skin just rolls right off. 🤯 It doesn’t smell too much. Doesn’t sting. Haven’t had any reaction or anything. After about eight minutes, I have baby-soft feet with minimal effort. I may never get a pedicure again. I really can’t believe it!" —Andrew Szybisty

Promising review: "Earlier this week my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700 but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain free. They are comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." —Charles

Promising review: "I love this pillow. I have been searching for a comfortable pillow for years. I am a side sleeper and have had neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years. I have been using this pillow for almost two weeks, and the pain is gone. It takes a few days to get used to, but after that, it is great. I have a Sleep Number bed that tracks sleep quality, and my sleep score has increased dramatically since using this pillow." —Bill Kobylarek

19. A patio umbrella light to provide some much-needed lighting when the sun sets but your fam is in the middle of an intense Uno game. It has three brightness modes depending on what ~vibe~ you're trying to create.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This requires four AA batteries (not included).

Promising review: "When I bought this, it was totally on a whim. I was convinced that because it was so inexpensive, it would be a cheap piece of junk! Was I wrong! It does a great job of lighting up the table with the three different settings. AND if you turn it upside-down, you can further vary the brightness. (Sometimes, you just want a hint of a glow rather than a spotlight on your face.) I'm very happy with this, especially since I left it out all summer long with no issues. It was hidden under a closed umbrella, but I'm sure it got a little damp with rainwater, and it survived! It is such an easy solution for my patio that has no electricity, and therefore, needs something battery-powered." —LouiseN

Get it from Amazon for $10.

20. A darling lil' llama-shaped stress ball for those days when your boss asks you to convert a doc into a PDF even though you've shown Sharon how to do it a million and one times. Just squish and squeeze the llama to feel a little relief...then convert the doc.

Amazon

Promising review: "I tend to get rather stressed and have been known to accidentally obliterate stress balls. Thankfully, this llama is quite sturdy and hasn't shown any signs of wear and tear yet despite frequent and intense use over the past few weeks. Based on that, I fully expect him to endure for a long time to come." —Rachel L

22. A pack of bug bite patches designed with bug-magnet-y kids in mind. These patches contain hydrocolloid, aloe, and witch hazel to help with itchiness (but let's be real, they really just help make sure your little ones don't scratch themselves raw 😬).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Quitch is a small business founded by moms who were tired of using bug spray on their kids! Adult reviewers are loving 'em, too!

Promising review: "I was honestly skeptical about buying these. My son (15 months) is too little for Benadryl or any anti-itch cream, so I bought them for our upcoming camping trip to try. Little did I know, they would come in handy sooner! My son got bitten by a mosquito near his eye. This caused major swelling and irritation. As mentioned, he’s too little for medicine. I put a patch on, and the results speak for themselves. I’m amazed, and they helped my son not scratch the area. They’re so little and super sticky, he doesn’t even notice it’s on. I added a photo of the patch about five hours after application, and you can see how full it is. I will definitely be purchasing again!" —Sierra

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I threw these in my bag last minute for a trip to a resort in Cancun, and we absolutely loved them! They take up no room, and I easily fit two pillows in my carry-on bag to have for the beach. Made the beach chairs so much more relaxing by being able to be comfortable. They blew up so easily. It just took four big breaths for each pillow. Loved that I could either use the straps or sand to hold them in place. I also like the idea of traveling with them in my carry-on in case we have a delayed flight, and I have enough time for an airport nap. I'll be bringing these on all future vacations." —Nikki Miller

Get it from Amazon for $35+ (available in 15 colors).

24. A pack of two ready-to-freeze pup treats so your furry best friend can beat the coming heat while nourishing their chonky little body. No added sugars or artificial flavors. Infused with prebiotics and calcium. And don't worry, even the stick is edible!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

These treats were made with medium-sized dogs and puppies in mind.

Promising reviews: "My dog loves these, and he can be snobby about his snacks. They freeze quickly (about three hours). It took my dog about 10 to 15 minutes to eat, but he's a super-chewer. It's a perfect treat for hot days! I have added these to my Subscribe & Save order." —Jennifer

"My dog usually devours any treat (including Greenies) in seconds. This kept her busy for 10+ minutes! Aside from some drool, there was no mess (aka they don’t melt all over the place). We will be trying some of the other flavors." —Gretchen Schramm-Davis

Get it from Amazon for $5.92+ (available in eight flavors).

25. An oil-absorbing Laneige blurring powder because it'll basically make your pores disappear. You'll also be blessed with a flawless, semi-matte, shine-free finish. But don't worry, you'll still keep your glow!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We all loved the name brand 'G' for the brightening/blurring effect it had until they changed the formula. This product is AMAZING and for less than half the price! Out of the box, I tried this on my face with no makeup on, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how well it blurred fine lines/wrinkles." —Pixie Girl

Get it from Amazon for $25. 

26. A pair of lightweight tinted lip balms if you've been dying to try Clinique's Black Honey lip balm, but $25 is too steep a price to pay for just one stick. This cheaper alternative is subtle, buildable, and packed with nutritious ingredients like vitamin E, beeswax, and candelilla wax. Enhance your lips' natural color with this non-sticky and long-lasting balm!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Even BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is shook:

"I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack, so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "I am shocked at how much this lipstick is like Clinique Black Honey. It is a perfect match. I was raised on Clinique and know their product, especially the Black Honey line. But this product is perfection without paying the Clinique price. Will be a regular customer." —Boulware Family 83406

Promising reviews: "Does the trick of getting hair out of the roller. Happy I bought it." —Pat S

"Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

28. A"Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help you mince a little for your homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take a few seconds!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Get it from Amazon for $16.95. 

29. An inflatable sunbathing lounger, because the beach isn't the only place on the planet where you can get a tan.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is seriously the best 'lounge tanning chair' I have ever had! I don’t have a pool, and most days I have some time to lie out and enjoy the sun for an hour or two. This thing is soooo comfortable, and the pillow is perfect! Just add however much water you want to keep cool, get your favorite playlist out and a refreshing drink, and get your tan on in your backyard or deck! Buy it! It’s worth every penny." —Amazon Customer

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This works for both indoor and outdoor plants.

Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous, even if I couldn't water them every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr

Get it from Amazon for $11.42. 

31. A vintage-inspired glass diffuser that'll not only make your home smell beautiful but also look like it's out of a 1950s edition of Architectural Digest. This smart diffuser will auto shut off when its reservoir is empty, and it's super quiet, so you can keep it in your workspace without its sound ruining your Zoom meetings. And did I mention that it's hand-blown?!

Amazon

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.

Promising review: "I have been looking for something like this for years! Most diffusers have plastic interiors, and I worry that they can leach plastics into the air. I was so excited to see this, and it did not disappoint. I love it! It is spot-on! It puts a good amount of mist in the air; I can smell it in the entire large room. It’s very attractive, and I absolutely love it. I will be giving these as gifts!" —HJ

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The wide brim provides much more UV protection than regular caps!

Promising review: "I have long hair and always avoided hats because I hate having my hair sweating against my neck in a low bun or ponytail. With this sun visor-summer hat combo, I can keep my hair in a top knot and still keep my face and neck protected from the sun while catching a nice breeze. This is perfect (although a little large in circumference, and I have a big head 7-3/4 hat size), and it’s adjustable and can fit any head size. It rolls up well and has an elastic to keep it rolled. I’ll be recommending this item to all my friends!" —Amazon Customer
