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

Promising review: "I have a pair of high heels that I rarely wear because they are so slippery. I bought these, and I'm very happy. The soles of my shoes are black so I bought the black ones, and they are barely noticeable. The adhesive is very strong. Once you place them on the sole, they're there for good, so place them carefully. I walked around my hardwood floors and then tile. I'm much more confident in my shoes now. Smooth floors don't scare me like they used to." —Mathilde

Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J L D

Promising reviews: "I'd left an old pan in the sink for a day or two, and the water caused it to rust and leave an ugly rust stain in the sink. I tried EVERYTHING. I scrubbed and wiped, and nothing worked. Legit, two seconds into scrubbing with this, the stain came off. I swear, it's worth every cent! It doesn't leave any gross smell, and it's real quality stuff. My sink looks perfect now!!" —Alexis
"I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried The Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!" —David C. Rein

This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush.
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. It glides on easily and doesn’t look like makeup. It’s very natural. I’m honestly shocked it actually works, especially for $6." —wendy asmann
"Don't waste your time on anything else. It's friggin' phenomenal, and it applies easy and stays on well. I have a very low-maintenance makeup routine, but this is an essential part of it now." —Danielle

Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Promising review: "I purchased this after seeing it on TikTok. I had never used a cleansing oil before, but I heard great things about it. I am 45 and have dry skin. I get the occasional pimple if I use oily moisturizers, so I was looking for something to put moisture back into my skin. The oil has a very light, clean scent and feels great on the skin. Although it's light when washed off, it leaves my skin feeling smooth, clean, and hydrated. I have not had issues with it clogging my pores, and I've been using it for about three months daily. I'm new to K-beauty, but if this is any indication of quality, I'm hooked. I will definitely be buying this again and making it a permanent part of my skincare routine." —SUSAN

Promising review: "I'm not gonna lie, I saw this on TikTok and jumped on the bandwagon! If you're debating if it's worth the hype, BUY IT!! IT'S WORTH IT!! I have always had one very large pore on my under-eye/cheek area next to my nose. I bought this hoping it would just help improve my overall skin journey and maaannnn...I will never use anything else! I do use the Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil first and then use this cleanser after, and have noticed a HUGE improvement! My extra-large pore has shrunk three times its size, and I've noticed it's helped pull extra gunk from the pores in my nose that I didn't even know were there! My skin feels so clean after using it!" —Molly Martinez

Billion Dollar Brows is a woman-owned small beauty biz!
Promising review: "I have found a new eyebrow enhancer powder! I’m blonde and my eyebrows don’t show up very well. I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face. And this one stays on all day until I wash it off! Well worth the price, and the quality surprised me!!" —Pammer

Promising review: "This product is absolutely amazing and works so well and fast. It is one of the products that has transformed my neck skin in just a couple of days. I'm in my late 40s, and I always used moisturizers on my neck, but I still had dry-looking, crepey skin. Not anymore. I still cannot believe that such an inexpensive cream can make my neck skin look so plump and young. Do try it." —Momof5

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So, THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly, and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

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), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! Less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but it is a small price to pay, IMO. Bottom line: It’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

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
Get a 27-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (available in more multipacks).
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 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

Promising reviews: "I am of Scottish ancestry, and my normal, natural hair makes it look like I just crawled out of the bog. Wavy. Victim to humidity. Frizzled. Extremely thick. It normally takes me a solid hour and a half to dry and style. I used this product for the first time today and was absolutely shocked. My hair is now so, so soft and manageable. The biggest surprise was how FAST it was to dry and style! It only took me 15 minutes today! This may be the best thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon!" —Hildegard S. Payne
"As someone who frequently colors and bleaches my hair, I’ve tried various repair treatments, including Olaplex, K18, and Boldplex. While all of them have improved my hair's quality, this protein treatment stands out as my favorite. The results are impressive—my hair feels repaired, with improved texture and shine, especially after chemical treatments. If you’re looking for an affordable alternative for high-end brands like Olaplex or K18, this is definitely worth trying." —One Woman Says

Promising review: "I will admit, I was a bit skeptical before I purchased these. My boyfriend has never been able to drink wine due to an allergy to the sulfites. He has tried several times over the years with both red wine and white wine, but after one sip, he would begin to get itchy and wheezy. I have always been a wine drinker and recently moved to San Francisco. I have been thoroughly enjoying living so close to Napa and Sonoma. I decided there had to be a solution, and Amazon did not disappoint. These wands are super easy to use and we have been able to enjoy multiple bottles of wine together with no reactions! I can even tell that it aerates very well and helps bring out some of the flavors when I compare our glasses to each other. I would definitely recommend!!" —Amanda Taylor

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623

I use it morning and evening currently. I’ve even been traveling in 95-degree weather with sweat, and usually, that’d break my skin out more, but NOPE!!!! Not with this stuff 💯 I’ve tried sooo many products before without help. I will be repurchasing!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "I’m so happy that I purchased this item. Before I had it, I ended up at the baggage check counter and ended up owing money because my bag was heavier than 40 pounds. That was a tough lesson to learn. However, now with this device, I no longer face those types of surprises at the check-in counter. I strongly recommend this if you travel. It's easy to set up and use." —BeedaB

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 ’til 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

Promising review: "Before, I always had to be very careful with small areas when shaving. After using this spray, the hair became softer and the shaving process was smoother. The spray is designed to accurately identify facial hair and reduce over-shaving. After using it, my skin did not experience any allergies or irritation. It felt very refreshing. I highly recommend it! Very happy with this purchase!" —Bobby Alexander

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

Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It’s been less than 36 hours, and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill

I'll be carrying these in my purse from now on. They are WAY better than your brain could ever conjure up from a photo. Just buy them, don't even think about it! This is 5 stars, two thumbs up, highly recommended!" —Lirpa

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Promising review: "This powder is a lifesaver for oily skin. It’s super lightweight and goes on clear, so it doesn’t feel heavy or cakey. I just tap a little on my face, especially my forehead and nose, and it keeps me looking matte for hours. No more greasy shine in photos! It’s also gentle and doesn’t clog my pores. Definitely a great little product to keep in your bag. Korean skincare products are known to be the best!" —David Le

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping 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.

I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." —Spencer

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I'm writing one for this amazing spray!! I know what you're thinking. I thought the same: That's an awful lot to pay for a bottle of spray cleaner. I get it, and it's worth every penny!!! I have two large dogs who are potty-trained, however, my niece accidentally shut them in one of the spare rooms while we were upstairs (bless her tiny heart), so they took it upon themselves to hate-pee allllll over the carpet in there!! When we finally took a black light to the carpet, we discovered the true horror of our situation. CSI crime scenes had nothing on us! We tried EVERYTHING. I found this product, read the reviews, and hit the 'buy now' button with all of my hope riding on Prime shipping and a spray bottle. NO ODOR, NO STANK, LIGHT CLEAN SMELL, BUT NO FAKE FLOWERY COATED AIR!!!! This stuff is a MIRACLE!!!" —N. Garcia

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
