1. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp if you avoid getting all dolled up because this step of your makeup routine is your actual nemesis. Well, say goodbye to wasting all your cotton balls (and all those extra minutes you could've used making your coffee) on failed attempts at a flawless eyeliner flick. This stamp will do it for you!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.

The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. 

Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before and they were so watery and not close to a dark black I wanted at all but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours and it was warm so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth

2. A Revlon hot air brush that'll save you more than double the time it takes you to style your hair with a traditional blow dryer and round brush. This magical tool will give you soft, smooth waves with just a few passes!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years and I couldn’t be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blow outs! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" —ERJ

Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in 11 styles).

3. A rapid egg cooker for those who put off making breakfast until it's basically lunchtime. This might just become the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning. It can make omelets, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, scrambled, soft-, and hard-boiled eggs. (Six at the same time, might I add!) No need to worry about skipping out on breakfast when you've got your own personal little chef right here to whip you up the *perfect* meal.

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says, "I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it while working from home — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it. (I like mine medium-boiled. 🍳) If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra oomph to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!"

Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine colors).

4. A reviewer-beloved teeth-whitening pen — you'll see the difference almost immediately, which is helpful since you've been avoiding going to get it done by a pro (...don't lie). It's painless, minty fresh, and helps whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market. But this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

5. Eyeshadow color removal sponges because it is now the Monday after a weekend of going out, and you wanna create a lighter, more subtle shadow look to wear to the office, but that shimmery charcoal color is stuck on your brush, and you only have so much time to get ready. Fear not — this'll let you use your go-to eye brush for your whole routine by instantly cleaning off even your darkest shades.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "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: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.99 (also available as a pack of four).

6. A nonstick microwave pasta cooker so that you don't have to subject yourself to the patience it takes to wait around for water to boil. This cooker will satisfy your spaghetti craving in just 12–13 minutes! You'll be slurpin' up those yummy noodles like you're in Lady and the Tramp in no time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don't want to get all gushy over a pasta maker, but man...I really love this gizmo! I like spaghetti — either with normal Prego-type sauce or sometimes just with butter and Romano cheese sprinkled on. But I'm lazy and impatient, and don't like things that take a long time to make, with a bunch of steps, and a big clean-up afterwards. The Fasta Pasta is perfect for me. I get the exact amount of correctly-measured spaghetti; it's faster than boiling water in a big pot, then having to watch and stir the pasta; the pasta comes out perfectly cooked every time; and the cleanup is a snap." —Smilin Sam

Get it from Amazon for $17.95.

7. A tub of magical cleaning paste, The Pink Stuff, because it takes the time-consuming factor away from achieving squeaky clean surfaces. It's bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Pink Stuff is definitely worth all the hype it has been receiving. I had seen it in some TikTok compilations and decided to give it a try. The very first thing I cleaned was the inside of my bathtub, and wow! It really made my bathtub shine. Before I was using Kaboom, and that didn't clean as well as The Pink Stuff did. I was seriously shocked. The next thing I decided to use it on was some caked-on grease on my hood vent. Just like the bathtub, I was shocked that it was able to get it all off. All you do is apply the paste with a sponge or cloth to whatever you're cleaning, and then rinse it with warm water. I found that with stubborn spots, add a little warm water to the paste (if you have a spray bottle, I'd recommend filling that with warm water and misting the paste), scrub the spot a little longer, and then rinse. It worked with no issue. I'm definitely interested in looking at their other cleaning products. I would highly recommend giving The Pink Stuff a try yourself!" —JMURR

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in two styles).

8. A waterless dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without worrying about having to shake out the residue of your usual powder or spray dry shampoos.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It’s wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can’t go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." —Amelia Tilton

Get it from Amazon for $7.48.

9. A pack of self-adhesive eyeshadow shields, aka your little helper when it comes to eyeshadow fallout or accidental smears. The best part? It also acts as a guide for the perfect winged liner or smoky eyeshadow look — so you can quite literally do it with your eyes closed!

Amazon

Promising review: "I've been a certified makeup artist for 12 years. Used for my cousin's wedding makeup, and they worked really well as far as catching fallout and shaping goes, but taking them off, they really stick, so just be gentle. Still great." —Andrea

Get a box of 120 pieces from Amazon for $5.99.

10. A blowout spray that cuts your hair-drying time by as much as HALF, all while acting as a heat protectant and helping to detangle, smooth, and soften your hair.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "You need this! Super soft hair and cuts drying time! This stuff is seriously magic. I have thick hair, and I hate drying it because it just takes so long. I separate it, pin it up, spray the bottom half, dry, and then do the top. It’s perfect! Agree with some of the other folks that said you need to find the perfect amount...too much, you could be greasy. But you’ll only do that once. Regardless, it smells amazing, and your hair will be so soft! Get this!" —Jessica W

Get it from Amazon for $16 (also available in two larger sizes and in packs of two).

11. Or a reviewer-beloved, aloe vera-based curl refresher spray if you want to showcase your bouncy curls without having to redo your entire wash 'n' go. This'll help rehydrate your locks *without* the frizz in seconds!

The Fro Experts/Etsy

The Fro Experts is a Georgia-based, Black woman–owned natural haircare brand on Etsy formulated for type 3 and 4 hair textures.

Promising review: "OMG and AMEN ... Seriously, I have TRUE 4c hair and I have never in my 36 years experienced a true 100% natural/organic hair product, and for this to be my first time I'm beyond impressed. So pleased with my 2-year-old daughter's hair as well :-) Product does EVERYTHING its described to do :-)." —Rosanna Quinones

Get it from The Fro Experts on Etsy for $19.

12. A weekly Wet & Forget shower cleaner, because when was the last time you gave your shower a GOOD cleaning? 🤨 This'll banish all of the soap scum, grime, and body oils *and* let you skip out on all the laborious scrubbing. It also removes stains from non-porous surfaces and leaves behind a soft, delightful vanilla scent. Just spray it on, let it sit overnight, rinse, and you're all set!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

Amazon

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use it with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.40 (available in three quantities).

15. A well-loved "defunk" spray if you wake up on Monday morning a little tooo tired to wash your hair, but you also don't want to step out with your hair smelling ~funky~. This has a plant extract formula that helps to neutralize odors so you can smell like fresh lavender and chamomile instead.

16. A miraculous veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades that slice and chop your fruits and veggies for you. It cuts down your food prep time by a LOT, making it a huge relief for when you have guests coming over, and you didn't know making stir fry could take that long.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out aTikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

17. A jar of Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp for those nights when you get home from work and you're in the mood for a flavorful meal, but you are not in the mood to cook it. No need — just add this tasty condiment to your instant Cup O' Noodles and it'll give it just the right amount of spice, making your quick dinner go from basic to elaborate just like that.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small business that makes sauces, seasonings, and dumplings featuring flavors from Sichuan.

Here's what BuzzFeed contributor Brittany Ross says about it: "Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner in a matter of seconds. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!"

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in three sizes and three flavors).

18. A hair thinner and cutter because you've put off stopping by the salon for quite a while now (same 🙃). This little helper is great not only for cutting dead ends but *also* for trimming your bangs, maintaining a cut, giving yourself some natural-looking layers, or trimming and styling wigs.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The razor has two edges, a fine-tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)

Promising review: "I recently got a pixie haircut. I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on YouTube and found some videos using the Tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it, fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time, remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically, all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut. Seven months post-pixie haircut, and I have only been to the salon once to have a re-shaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short, and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep, I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" —brandi in louisiana

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

19. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets you'll appreciate because they power away the limescale and mineral buildup that you can't see in your dishwasher, so you can restore it to its squeaky-clean state and have one less thing on your plate. (Get it?)

www.amazon.com

It suits all dishwasher machine makes and models. Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!

Promising review: "This really works great for cleaning dishwashers. Don't tell anyone, but I haven't previously cleaned my dishwasher since we bought it about four years ago. It had a decent amount of funk on it and it started to smell funny. That's why I bought these tablets. I used one — put it in the detergent compartment and turned on the dishwasher on normal setting. After the cycle was done, all the sediment from a few years of use was gone and any unpleasant odor was nonexistent. Zero effort required, easy to use, and worth trying!" —Agy

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.54.

20. A super-affordable rust stain remover to banish the most impossible stains from any smooth surface in your home. The best part? All you gotta do is spray it, let it sit for a few seconds, and effortlessly wipe it away with a damp sponge or cloth.

www.amazon.com

Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this spray.

Promising review: "It WORKS!! Since my husband and I moved into our home two years ago, the hard water stains in our shower drove me bananas! I tried everything from bleach to all-natural remedies. Nothing worked. Stumbled upon some before-and-after photos for this product and had to try. Especially for the price! The photos I posted were with minimal scrubbing. The product does all the hard work!!" —Julie Dufour

Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

21. A standing weeder that'll make you sing, "I think I like this little life," while you do your yard work. This takes all the bending and backbreaking out of the equation when getting all your weeds out. Instead, you can stay standing and let the three steel claws grip the weeds for you as you pull them out!

www.amazon.com

This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. The simple lever system is what makes pulling weeds with this so easy! 

Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier!

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

22. A bleach-free Lysol automatic toilet bowl cleaner you'll appreciate because it helps prevent toilet rings and keeps your porcelain throne clean after every flush for up to two weeks. Simply place the applicator against the inside of the toilet bowl until the gel is fully dispensed and leave the gel to do the work for you. It'll make those last-minute guests think you just put away the toilet bowl scrubber. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The gel also helps neutralize odors and provide a long-lasting mango and hibiscus scent!

Promising review: "These toilet gels smell great, and each one has it's own applicator that makes it very easy and sanitary to stick to the toilet bowl. They really do work to keep the toilet bowl, and the bathroom fresh with each flush. I always wondered how well they were actually cleaning, until I realized I can tell when they are almost gone, as a residue starts to show back up on the exposed porcelain in the bowl. So, I guess they are definitely doing their job of keeping things clean." —J. Cornelius

Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.47 (available in four sizes and two scents).

23. A mattress vacuum — in case you didn't know... there's some gunk hiding in your mattress. Also, when was the last time you cleaned it? I can tell you the last time I did it: never. 🙃 This handy gadget will help you loosen all the pet hair, dust, and dead skin in the crevices of the mattress (that you've been breathing in and sleeping on night. after. night.) and suck it all away.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So I brought this for originally for my son who gets really bad allergies to dust. At first we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bed sheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try and they were right! I couldn't believe how much mites and dust there are. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa, [and it] was easy to use and light." —Lisa

Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

24. A mini microwave steamer to make steaming frozen veggies as easy as popping them in the microwave. This is especially ideal if you've been putting off making your next meal and suddenly realize "...I haven't eaten." 😬 Microwave steamer to the rescue!

Amazon

It's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe!

Promising review: "For years, I would buy those metal fan-like steamers that adjusted to the size of the pot; a good concept, but the fins would always fall off in short order, and they really were kind of a pain to clean (plus you had to clean the pot too!). This steamer, on the other hand, is ideal for me. It is the perfect size for a single serving and best of all, it's made for the microwave and not a pot on the stovetop. Cleaning is a breeze, and I usually hand-clean it so it's ready for another meal right away. It does take a few tries to figure out the timing for each type of vegetable, but that's okay — they come out crisp and fresh tasting. I'll never buy another metal steamer again. :-)" —dvd

Get it from Amazon for $10.25.

25. A sous vide cooker that'll *literally* help you make restaurant-worthy meals in your sleep. No, really — you don't even have to be in the kitchen while your food is cooking. Thank goodness, now I can go back to doing... nothing.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

The temperature range is 32–197 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooker can be controlled right from your phone, so you don't even have to stay in the kitchen while cooking. It also provides cooking notifications and stays connected through Bluetooth from up to 30 feet away. Plus, you get access to over 1,000 recipes, so you'll have inspiration for yummy meals! Get the Anova app here.

Promising reviews: "For us lazy cookers! I use this at least three times a week. Great, so you don’t have to stand in the kitchen waiting for your food." —Craig R Payne III

"Since I started cooking sous vide, my family says my cooking has gone to a new level. I started with the original Anova and just recently picked up this Nano. The Nano is awesome because it's much smaller compared to the first Anova, making it easier to store in a drawer. It sounds trivial, but by making it easier to grab, I'm more likely to use it compared to the Anova, which I kept in a special case in the pantry. Setup is so much quicker, and I can cook a beef roast for 30 hours without adding ANY water. If you're just starting out in sous vide, I recommend this cooker." —Jeff Nichols

Get it from Amazon for $65.

26. A vacuum hose attachment — *many* reviewers say it's helped them pull out whole socks from their lint traps!!!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly, and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck way down in my vent and would've had no idea! I still can't believe how much lint and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars." —J. Price

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This is dishwasher-safe!
