I'm a Shopping Editor who uses my passion for hitting "add to cart" (and my 8+ years in media) to curate the best products on the web — I'm particularly passionate about finding the best beauty products, which probably stems from my days of working at Lush Cosmetics, where I learned about effective skincare ingredients while getting covered in bath bomb dust every day.

Promising review: "These are great, they don’t leak, and they’re glass. Super easy to clean and to carry around with you — not too heavy. Good deal, and it doesn’t have that weird taste you eventually get from the other cups with lids. Easy to put together and definitely worth it." —Jailene M.

Promising review: "This little bottle is pure gold. I threw it in my purse for emergencies (you know the ones), and wow — it works. A couple of sprays in the bowl before you go, and that dreaded “public restroom aftermath” never happens. The Beach Bum scent is warm, tropical, and slightly sweet — not fake coconut or overpowering perfume. It’s discreet, travel-sized, and has saved me from several awkward moments. Honestly, this is one of those things everyone should carry but no one talks about. Also a fantastic stocking stuffer or cheeky gift." —Mildly Motivated Kim

Promising review: "These pasties are life changing!! I forget I’m wearing them, AND I can forget worrying about whether or not it’s too cold, if I need a jacket or extra layers. I can finally wear so many tops I feared my glass-cutters would overpower. I’ve worn these for nights out in dresses or just a regular day at work with a nice top!
I’m a full B-cup and DO NOT wear bras. I loathe them. I refuse. When I pop these bad boys on, I am carefree, comfortable, and secure... They don’t show through, they shape right to your natural shape. Thick enough to cover, but not thick enough to see. I wore a straight-up fishnet shirt; the color was so spot on that it looked like they disappeared. Flawless." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "It’s super compact, lightweight, and easy to carry everywhere. The pink color is adorable, and the design feels modern and cute. I really like that it comes with a clip and wrist strap. The airflow is surprisingly strong for such a small fan, and it charges quickly with the included USB cable. The battery lasts a good amount of time, and it’s also very quiet." —Jaime

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

Promising review: "I purchased this for my mother, who is always complaining about her lettuce turning brown and wilting. She has tried all kinds of things to keep her lettuce crisp and fresh, from the green bags to putting her rinsed and chopped lettuce in a pillowcase and putting it on the spin cycle in the washing machine to spin out the excess water in an attempt to keep her lettuce crisp. Needless to say, she likes her salads. Since receiving this product, my mom has had nothing but positive comments about this product. My parents went out of town for a week, and my mom forgot there was lettuce in the fridge. When they got back, she opened the fridge to find that the head of lettuce she had left was still crisp and fresh tasting. Very impressive!" —Cyberfish

Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs' paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

Promising reviews: "This product is fantastic! I have hyperhidrosis so I have struggled to find effective treatments for my underarm sweating. With this product, As long as use as directed, making sure to go to bed after the 5 minutes drying period, the product is incredibly effective at minimizing underarm sweat. I did still need to use deodorant, but I can finally wear light colored shirts without fear of the dreaded giant pit stain. I am definitely happy I made this purchase.
Update: Months later and this is STILL my holy grail product. I have forgotten deodorant before and with this product you cannot tell the difference. I wish I knew about this product sooner. Really really changed my life for the better." —Kayla S
"SweatBlock is awesome!! I traveled to Vegas for a five-day convention and did not sweat once in any of my jackets or gowns! I'd researched ways to preserve my clothes, and these Five-Star Ratings are well deserved! SweatBlock is now my holy grail of defense against perspiration. My only suggestion is don't dry shave and then apply. It will cause irritation!" —LindsK

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65° outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." —Niko

Promising reviews: "After moving into a house owned by older adults, a lot was neglected. Feeling overwhelmed by the hard water left in our shower, I avoided it for months. After watching TikTok, I found this product recommendation, and MY GOD did it change my life. It is SUPER messy, so wear gloves, and it’s easiest to squeeze on a paper towel, apply, and then scrub with a wool scrub after. But once you figure out the flow, boy, does it work!!!" —Alicia
"Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Promising review: "I am absolutely shocked at the effectiveness of this product, it's like they bottled some kind of magic in that tube!
You only need the tiniest amount, so I expect this tube is going to last quite a while. I love the texture, too; it's a very light cream, not at all like the oily serums a lot of frizz control products are. I also love that you apply it to dry hair; you can see exactly where the product is needed and just apply a tiny amount in your hands, rub them together, lightly run them over the frizzy areas, and watch the transformation. It makes my hair so smooth and silky feeling, too." —Carrie T.

Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot

Promising reviews: "I actually used this on a king blanket from Costco. My son uses it to sleep on, and when I have to wash it, it takes FOREVER. I usually have to run at least three 50-minute rounds on high to get it dry, and that's after unrolling it over and over. Such a pain. These are a godsend. I put them on two corners of the blanket and it didn't roll up and was finished drying in only 50 minutes! Buy them, you won't regret it!" —Holly E.
"This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Promising review: "Between me (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 review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets and with queen sheets I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

Promising review: "I bought this heated ice cream scoop on a whim, and wow, it actually works amazingly! The warming feature heats up fast and glides through even rock-hard ice cream with zero effort. No more bending spoons or waiting for the carton to soften. The LED display is a nice touch because I can see when it’s ready, and being rechargeable makes it super convenient, no batteries needed. It’s especially great for kids and seniors since it takes almost no strength to use." —Dikshya

Promising review: "I never have any time in the mornings to do my makeup but I enjoy having winged eyeliner. I also have the shakiest hands known to man and don't have very good eyesight so putting eyeliner on used to be such a pain. But now it's so incredibly simple. This product literally changed my whole morning routine. Instead of getting frustrated and having to start my makeup over again and again, I just stamp and go. I can't believe I didn't get this product sooner when it's literally one of the best purchases I've ever made. Highly highly recommend to anyone who wants beautiful eyeliner quickly and easily. " —K

Promising review: "I have left the house on numerous occasions and needed a hair tie and could never find one. I could dig through my purse, diaper bags, and car, and there was never a hair tie lying around. I have had to refill this hair-tie holder on about five occasions because of how many times I've taken hair ties off for myself and the friends who need one. Great invention." —Samantha

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The perfect companion for traveling with a toddler who loves to snack and prefers being independent. I can fit about 12 average-size grapes in it, about 5–6 regular-sized cookies, about 8–10 mini cookies, a big handful or small cereal such as Cheerios, and about 10–12 standard Ritz crackers. These estimations are all things that I regularly place in there for him to snack on. Nothing spills out, and whatever does come out is whatever he grabs with his hands to get, which is amazing. The only thing I would suggest is placing foil or plastic wrap around the mouth of the cup to prevent any of the snacks from getting stale from being exposed. The lid doesn’t fully cover the snack from air exposure. It simply protects the snack from spilling over and promotes child independence." —Antoinette

Promising review: "This gadget is just as advertised. Easy to use and works. I like to carry ALL my plastic grocery bags on one trip because I park behind my building and live upstairs. One day I carried 10 bags holding it in my hand and another day I had 12, so I put it on my shoulder. Both ways were comfortable and so easy. The design of the soft grip is so comfortable and easier than carrying all the bags wrapped around my hands and arms. Highly recommend for that purpose." —GeauxPaige

"I don't know if it's the shape of my eye or my clumsiness, but I ALWAYS get mascara on my lid, and it annoys me so very deeply. I just cannot ignore it and go about my day. I've tried just using my trusty Neutrogena makeup wipes to clean it up, but it's so difficult to get close to the lash line that I end up taking off more of my makeup than I wanted to. Which is even more annoying to touch up as a perpetually late person. I gave these swabs a try, and now I always want them on deck! I'm able to remove my mascara and eyeliner mishaps more precisely. (They come in handy for cleaning up a cat-eye look, too!) Plus, it doesn't make my lid feel greasy or oily, unlike a previous makeup stick I've tried. It's so quick and easy that it's become one of my go-to makeup hacks. And you may be wondering, 'Can I just use a regular cotton swap dipped in liquid makeup remover?' The answer is yes. But if you're lazy and/or always rushing like me, then having these ready-to-go at all times is worth the $9!" —Kayla Boyd
