BuzzFeed-Shopping·2024-12-21 05:04

1. A box of under-eye masks if you have no plans to change your late sleep schedule but wanna at least look like you got the proper eight hours. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, these masks are designed to help with dark circles, puffy eyes, and wrinkles. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The blue patches are illuminating eye masks (for dull under eyes). The gold patches are energizing eye masks (for tired under eyes). The pink patches are moisturizing eye masks (for dry under eyes).

Promising review: "I have tried many eye masks through the years and was pleasantly surprised by this product. It's worth the hype. I'm a skincare lover and have spent tens of thousands on skin products, including LED red light masks, infrared saunas, and every new facial device that has come along, including high-end skincare and everything in between. I have eye bags and hollows for days, and these do a phenomenal job at plumping and hydrating the under-eye area while reducing the grocery bags. Great quality and quantity for the price. I will be repurchasing." —Nvohpa88

Get six pairs from Amazon for $7.39+ (also available in packs of 12, 24, 48, and 72 and in three styles).

2. Or a vegan under-eye brightener to help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin.

This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush.

Promising review: "I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I’ve spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I’m very pleased with this product!" —Lafinrsm

Get it from Amazon for $4.80 (available in two tones).

3. A Shark Tank-famous Little Elf gift wrap cutter so you don't have to rely on a shoddy pair of scissors to try to cut in a long, straight line (it's simply impossible!). This efficient gadget makes cutting wrapping paper safe and easy, and is great for those with dexterity issues.

Deep clean made easy!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers' couches, and [there's a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the 'looking like brand new,' but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn't believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed." —edina bajraktarevic

Yi Yang / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "I seriously want to rave about this timer/clock. It's the funkiest, most awesome clock and timer. I bought it to GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE TO SCHOOL ON TIME. They consistently won't be ready every morning without me hollering, '10 minutes! 5 minutes!' If I missed these callouts, no one was ready on time. Now, the alarm goes off, and they know what that means. I flip the hexagon to 15 minutes, then beep, beep, beep! It's loud but not obnoxious, and everyone can hear it from the bedroom. Flip again for five more minutes. When it goes off again, I'm going for my keys. Better be ready, kiddos! LIFE IS BETTER with my ZNEWTECH HEXAGON DIGITAL Timer & Alarm!!!!" —77Keys

Promising review: "I was introduced to this item through TikTok, and they aren't joking when they place certain videos on your 'For You page' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS.

It doesn't slide around, it's wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs, and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." —Allie West

Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would've thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey

11. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making, and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup, and my glass is clear again, and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden

Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.

12. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS

14. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because you haven't properly cleaned your shower in, well, ever. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two sizes, a pack of two, and in two scents).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through multiple wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison

BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have a history with dry, very cracked, crocodile-like (lol!) heels. My heels were so hard and cracked that they would cause tears in my sheets and socks. I have tried [a million] products. All of them worked for like a hot minute. This though. This has CHANGED my feet!!! I went through a regimen of applying it daily after a shower and putting socks on. The texture of my feet gradually got smoother and smoother, and now they feel and look like normal feet!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $6.47 (also available in a three-pack).

Promising review: "After some shoes killed my feet after walking all day in Europe, this foot mask saved the day. It felt AMAZING on my feet and helped me recover a lot faster than just taking ibuprofen. Don’t travel abroad without this!" —Maria

Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

18. Shower curtain rings with separate hangers for your curtain and liner that will make taking them down and switching them out so much faster and easier. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it, you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours, and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, and it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in three colors).

21. A cute insulated Owala coffee tumbler since you make a great PSL at home but still want it to be hot when you get to work. This'll keep hot drinks hot for up to 24 hours! Plus, it has an easy-sip strawless spout and a splash-resistant lid. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The lid is an example of exceptional design. The drinking opening is different from anything I have ever experienced. It feels great to drink from, which isn't something you would normally say about a beverage cup. But your lips seal naturally against the opening, and the coffee flow is perfect. It is difficult to describe, but once you try it, you will understand. The cup has also proven to be very durable, especially the coating. I don't know what kind of paint they use, but it is highly resistant to chips and scratches. It is also slightly textured, which helps keep a solid grip and prevents slipping out of your hand. The outside of the cup is comfortable to hold, no matter how hot the liquid inside is. This cup has performed wonderfully and is my go-to daily cup for drinking my morning coffee." —HaSt

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

22. A portable dual monitor you can attach to your laptop if you need more than one screen to tackle your latest Excel project.

This is compatible with Mac, PC, and Chrome laptops between 13 and 17 inches and attaches with device-safe metal plates.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the SideTrak for a week now, and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation was a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a two-hour-long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease in that amount of time! Additionally, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined — such as when I’m lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool...anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I’m all about efficiency and maximizing my time, and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas. Thank you." —Ratana K.

Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in black and silver).

23. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because it'll erase life's little messes in the blink of an eye. Those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains will be a thing of the past!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6x12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go, Folex. Outstanding!" —Bob

Get it from Amazon for $6.65 (available in various sizes and packs).

24. An all-in-one multi-blade chopping device that'll dice, spiralize, and grate veggies to your heart's content. Stop wasting time (and tears) chopping onions by hand.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I actually got this because my mom bought it and loved it. She has pretty severe arthritis, and this little contraption makes food prep a breeze for her, so I decided to try it. Well, holy cow! It does everything it says it's going to do! it's really easy to use. It's super helpful, really convenient, very easy to clean up, and stores pretty compactly (but honestly, it's already just living on our counter). Worth every penny!" —A. Hendrix

Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes).

25. A pack of 100+ light-dimming sheets — now your digital alarm clock won't keep you up with its glaring numbers. Oh the irony. These magical stickers dim 50–80% of light.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are simply awesome! Such a small thing can make such a big difference. At night, when I opened my eyes, I was flooded by little dots of light intruding my space from all my electronics: the TV and cable receiver, the modem, the routers, the electric blanket control switch, the microwave, the smoke alarms, cell phones, etc. And it doesn’t take much to interfere with a good night's sleep. These will mute and soften those bright lights so they don’t bother you anymore. Thanks for a great 'little size, big results' product!" —Ziapetlady

Get it from Amazon for $4.49.

26. A long-reaching lotion applicator so you can moisturize your back without trying (and failing) to force your arms to bend in ways they simply don't. You can also use this to apply self-tanner or sunscreen on your back. No more sunburns in places you normally can't reach!

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never looked in there, but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn't even see the bottom. I really didn't want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn't expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank and left it overnight, and the next morning, I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see in there now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!" —Linda Baker

Get it from Amazon for $7.07.

28. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!

Promising reviews: "I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing." —Cndrla

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend. Keeps everything running correctly and clean.” —Lauren

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in packs of 12 and 18).

30. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic "flossing toothbrushes" with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums. Though this shouldn't replace flossing, these toothbrushes can help rid your teeth of plaque and food residue. Plus, they're designed with those who have sensitive gums in mind.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is such a great tool for using every last bit of product and reducing waste.

Get the kit from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors and in smaller packs).

But it's not just about music – this smart display is like having a helpful sidekick around the house. Perfect for forgetful folks like me, it keeps track of tasks and reminders with ease. Plus, being able to control other devices around the house with just my voice? It's like living in the future.

Have coilier hair? This paddle brush might work better for you!

Promising review: "I have a headful of thick, wavy, shoulder-length hair. I sometimes wear it curly, but when I want it smooth, this tool is a huge time saver. I used to have to section my hair and spend a half hour or more flat ironing it. I still section it a little, but I can go from a big mop of mess to a sleek flip in very little time. I just spritz my hair and go to work. I have arthritis, and it is a big bonus that the handle is big, so I don't have to use a pinch grip to hold it. I also have shoulder pain, and the less time I can spend with my arms over my head, the better. This tool is worth every penny." —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in eight colors).

35. A plant-based wrinkle-release spray so you don't walk around looking like you just rolled out of bed...even if you did. Because no one wants to look like they're too lazy to iron...even if you are. Just spray, smooth, and tug!

They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn

Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color combinations and three pack sizes).

37. A pair of eyeshadow color removal sponges that cleans your makeup brushes without water so you can go from applying a neon pink eyeshadow to a bright white eyeshadow without breaking out the makeup brush shampoo OR having to dirty another brush.

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Jenae Sitzes is a fan of these sponges:

"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." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a four-pack).

38. A pack of two durable legging organizers because your collection of leggings has just been stuffed in a drawer, taking up space and getting super scrunched up. Make it easier to grab your favorite pair from your closet!

Promising review: "I bought these because I have limited closet space. The ability to hang 20 pairs of leggings saves me tons of room. I also like the clips that hold the leggings; they do not leave marks on the waistband!" —Sarah

Get them from Amazon for $12.31+ (available in two colors and pack of one and four).

39. An eyeliner stamp so you don't have to trial-and-error your way to the perfect cat-eye. This smudge-proof and waterproof formula will keep you looking fierce all day long.

Lovoir Beauty is a small biz based in New Zealand!

Promising review: "I don’t wear makeup because I pretty much don’t know how to. I thought I’d give this a go because I have no skills and can’t do a cat-eye to save my life. But I was able to do this on the first try! I really thought it was going to take a while to get the hang of things, but it didn’t! Truly amazing, and it stays on all day and comes off easily! Love, love, love!" —Ilana

Get it from Lovoir Beauty on Amazon for $11.98+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "No clue what makes the magic happen in this thing, but it is amazing. Macaroni in under five minutes, ramen in like 3.5. Easy, one dish to clean, fast. I wish I had this in my son’s toddler years in his mac phase." —C. Long

Get it from Rapid Brands on Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors and a two-pack). 

41. A Mac keyboard shortcut sticker that'll help you force quit Spotify when it freezes in the middle of your favorite song. Caroline Polachek must never be interrupted! This sticker fits perfectly on 13"–16" MacBooks.

Amazon

Promising review: "Literally for any new or old Mac user, or even a user that’s used to any device other than Apple! Super helpful for how to copy and paste and do other minor tasks! I mainly use the mouse pad on the laptop, so as my hands rub or grace over the sticker, it has never come off or ripped off at any point in time. It is perfectly still down to the computer part, and I’ve had this for over a year now!! 10/10 recommend!🩷" —Reyn

Get it from Amazon for $5.95 (available in eight styles).

42. A glasses lens cleaner made with carbon microfiber to gently remove streaks and smudges so you can finally see more clearly. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses daily and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before, but they get weirdly oily and leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much, and I don't lose it in my purse." —Clair F 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 15 colors).

StirMate is a small biz!

Promising review: "I enjoy soups and puddings but hate to stand at the stove for 30 minutes or whatever making sure the milk doesn't burn. The StirMate solved my problem. I would recommend this item to everyone who cooks; what a great help in the kitchen." —Mary J

Get it from StirMate on Amazon for $59.13.

44. A padded wire-free bra with drawstrings that'll allow you to adjust the amount of cleavage you wanna show. This bra also features soft foam lining for comfort and an added lil' ~push up~. Because, let's be real, you've been wearing the same bra for years and it's tattered and doesn't fit anymore.

www.amazon.com

A reader just like you bought these and likes them so much they left a comment saying so: 

"I stumbled upon a review for this bra in one of your posts, immediately headed to Amazon to check it out for myself, and omg, I had to immediately order one because for the price, why not, right?! Well, it came in, and I loved it so much that I had to order more. No more overpaying for the Bombshells from Victoria’s Secret; these bras are hands down way better and also only a fraction of the cost! I cannot say enough good things about them. I absolutely love them!" —shelbypeach

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–D, and 11 colors).

45. A Shark Tank-famous grocery bag carrier designed to distribute the weight of heavy bags so you can more easily make it from point A to point B. Because it's so light and compact, you can toss it in your purse so you're ready for any impromptu grocery shopping.

Click & Carry is a small business that specializes in easy-carry accessories. 

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well-built and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

Get it from Click & Carry on Amazon for $11.19+ (available in seven colors and in packs of two).
