Promising review: "I hate cleaning dirt and grime! This has been a total game changer. Call me MS. Clean! I did a small section of my oven and followed the instructions. I used a rag, dipped The Pink Stuff, and used small circles. It immediately removed all the gunk. I was flabbergasted! So I tried it on my planter, and to be honest, I had to put a little more elbow into it, but the difference blew me away! Tip: if you wanna do it right, use a dry rag, dip it into The Pink Stuff about the size of a silver dollar, and rub circularly. YOU DON'T NEED TO USE FORCE! After wiping it down, you can just use a wet paper towel to wipe it off. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T LET IT DRY! It just becomes a little harder. I'M NEVER USING OVEN CLEANER OR ANY OTHER HARSH CHEMICALS!" —Mandee
Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in multipacks).
Just add a little bit of the concentrated cleaner and water to the included brush and scrub away — the blend of saddle soap, oils, and conditioners will gently banish dirt, grime, and even grease and grass stains.
Promising review: "Flabbergasted. I cannot express how impressed I am with the shoe cleaner! I was ready to go out and buy a new pair of sneakers for myself because these were white, and they were getting really gross and grungy. It took maybe 20 seconds per shoe, and then I let them dry for a little bit. It was like they were brand new! HIGHLY recommend you try this if you prefer your sneakers to be spiffy!!" —Autumn

Promising reviews: "Throughout high school, I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new, I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee
"I decided I needed to write this review after just one eye was applied — I’m so happily flabbergasted at the immediate difference it made in the visibility of my dark circles! I look so much less dead now, it’s amazing!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this not having high expectations, and I’m absolutely flabbergasted at how well it works. It 100% eliminates odors from accidents on the carpet. I’ve been using paper towels to soak up the mess, then spray generously on the area, and in 10 minutes the smells are GONE. It’s a perfect option for puppies who are still potty training. 10/10 recommend." —JenK

Promising review: "Fill the ear up and lie on your side for 30 mins. I let that drain out, nothing but clear water. I filled the bulb up with warm water, squirted hard twice, and a ball of wax the size of a half-raisin fell into my sink. I was flabbergasted and couldn’t believe that was in my ear. I can hear again immediately, and I am still in shock… I thought I was just getting older and maybe getting tinnitus with a slight hearing loss due to getting older." —Freddie

Promising review: "Wowww, I love this cleansing balm. This actually topped my favorite, which was the Banila Co. cleansing balm. This was 10x better! I remember when I saw this blowing up all over social media and so many people were talking about it like it was life-changing experience and i was like, 'nah they lying.' So, I decided to try it out for myself and y'all. Believe. the. hype.
"This removed all of my makeup like it was nothing, including the stubborn waterproof mascara that stuck to my lashes like a toddler gripping onto their mom's leg. No joke. I was flabbergasted because I usually have to, like, violently rub my face just to take everything off, but this was very nice and gentle to my skin. It also didn't literally BLIND me because every other cleansing balm I've used gave me astigmatism." —rika

Promising review: "I must admit that when I got this little wand home and discovered that it had set me back over $9, I was flabbergasted! But I used it and was once again flabbergasted by the dazzling sparkle coming from my already gorgeous engagement ring. It looked as if someone had taken a tiny bulb and placed it inside the stone! I was, however, still a bit miffed at the cost vs. the size of the container. I was certain I'd only get three or four uses out of it at most.
"That was over a year ago, and my rings haven't seen a dull day since. Rubies, sapphires, topaz, alexandrite; every stone I used it on, every intricately carved piece of gold or silver jewelry; even my CZs, sparkle like they are brand new. And there's still product left in the little tube!" —YeOldBat

Promising review: "I’m gonna be honest, I look dead without mascara. Scary dead. I have been on the hunt for the perfect mascara my entire adult life, and I’ve tried just about all of them, from $1.99 to $50, then came Lash Princess. I was a diehard lash curler user and then one morning I killed my lash curler. I took a deep breath and put on my Lash Princess — I was FLABBERGASTED! What?!? A mascara that made me look human WITHOUT a curler!?" —Lori Sipple

Promising reviews: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully
"I haven’t been religious about using this stuff. I did once here, once there, months apart. Always a difference, anyway. This time, I did it on Friday and Monday, and I am flabbergasted. This stuff is incredible!" —Jessica Vega

Promising reviews: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months, and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis
"If you don’t already have a ChomChom, you may not want one because you’re living in ignorant bliss about how much dog hair is hiding all over your house. I run my Roomba every day, always pleased to see how much dog hair it picks up. That’s nothing. The first time you run the ChomChom over a rug, prepare to be flabbergasted." —Kati

Promising review: "I have hormone issues that make my hair oily every day. I have to shower every morning because my hair gets so bad, and every dry shampoo I’ve tried just makes it worse. I’m talking wet dog, hair plastered to my head kind of look, not cute. This is the only product that allows me to go TWO whole days without washing my hair, and it looks like I’m squeaky clean. I was genuinely flabbergasted. I let my friends use it on vacay and they’ve all now purchased one for themselves. My friend with bangs is especially a fan. It doesn’t irritate my scalp or dry me out, either, which is huge for my sensitive scalp. 10/10 I will buy this for as long as they sell it." —Caroline C
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five styles/shades and in multipacks).
BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strips, and more!
Promising reviews: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out that there are cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead, and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." —nekojita
"Flabbergasted!! This far exceeded my expectations! I am someone who will go at a pimple until it’s for sure a scar. In this case, I just have to put a patch on, or take a small piercing needle and pierce the pimple and stick a patch on over the top! Works faster than the usual six hours on my difficult skin type. Highly recommend, planning on ordering more soon!" —Amanda

Promising reviews: "My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We’re delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." —2six
"Literally works immediately. I'm flabbergasted. I can’t lie. I used this for the first time today after the gym. It literally arrived this morning, and this is the first time I've used it. You can actually tell the difference. I wish I had taken a before and after because I genuinely am shocked. Nothing ever works this fast for me, but like wow. I’m definitely ordering more and stockpiling it. Major game changer for me because I have dark spots and ingrowns on my inner thighs often from thickness, and this is going to change my life." —Mary Meinberg

Promising review: "I had low expectations, despite the good reviews, for this item, since I have tried so many callus removers (files, pumice, lotions, concoctions) before and most either did very little or had to be used with so much pressure that I ended up injured.
"Not this one! Use it GENTLY as the instructions say, and calluses magically just disappear. Mine were nasty, but they were literally gone in 10 min. I was flabbergasted, to be honest. I now have lovely feet for the first time in years (and that includes after pedicures). Thank you, Magic File! :-)" –E. TeSelle

Promising reviews: "I can't remember the last time I wrote a product review, but I feel compelled to do so for Lumify. My eyes are constantly red. I have been to eye doctors, taken prescription eye drops, tried every eye drop on the market, spent hours searching the internet for relief, and alas, the redness remained. My chronic red eyes have been a source of embarrassment for many years, with people routinely pointing out how tired I look or questioning if I'm high. I would be too self-conscious at times to even hold eye contact!! I tried these drops, looked in the mirror... and I swear I heard the strumming of a harp from an angel. Life-changing. It's been seven hours since I tried the drops, and I've been working on the computer and driving in bright sunlight. My eyes are still white!!! Like, unhumanly white. It's amazing!!!!!!!" —HaileyC
"I saw this on TikTok, so I HAD to try and WOW. Just WOW. The difference is astounding!!! I was just flabbergasted!!! Will use forever" —Amazon Customer

This handy spray is a wrinkle remover, static remover, odor eliminator, fabric refresher, and an ironing aid. All you have to do is spray the garment, tug it a bit, smooth it out, and hang it up. Within minutes, it should be good to go!
Promising review: "I am flabbergasted with this! It actually did take the wrinkles out! I am one of those guys who like to iron things but end up with some non-wrinkle-free items in my closet. This thing really took me by surprise.
"I lay whatever it is I need to smooth out flat on my bed. Spray somewhat evenly, hoping I got most of the surfaces. Then use my hands to pat down the wrinkles. Keep it on the bed like that for a few minutes, and presto! All smooth and wrinkle-free! Amazing!" —Ikram

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean.
"We got Rockie when he was five, and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand."
Promising review: "Never in my three-domestic-short-hair-cat-mom life have I seen this much fur from just one cat. Yes, I questioned it at first, but after a few rounds, I was beyond flabbergasted. I genuinely thought we were losing her while brushing her because she’s a small one. 100/10, would repurchase and recommend it without hesitation. I recommend making a ball with the fur. They love it." —mikyoung kim

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this exfoliating ampoule! The Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot has become a staple in my skincare routine. It’s super gentle yet incredibly effective — my skin feels noticeably smoother and brighter after each use. The rice-based formula gives a glow without any irritation, and it even helps my makeup go on more evenly.
"It’s lightweight, nonsticky, and absorbs quickly, so it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. The scent is fresh and subtle, and I appreciate that it’s suitable for sensitive skin. You only need a small amount, so one bottle lasts a long time — great value for money.
"After a couple of weeks, I’ve seen a real improvement in texture and clarity. It leaves my face soft, hydrated, and genuinely radiant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an easy way to get that smooth, glass-skin finish!" —Carolyn C.
"An ampoule that was made from the heavens. First off, I saw this product all over my Instagram feed, and after much consideration, I decided to try another 'magnificent blackhead/pore cleanser.' This was my third attempt. As the saying goes, 'third time is a charm!' I started off with a cleanser and was flabbergasted by how wonderful it left my skin. Now this magical beauty was definitely worth the purchase. I normally have oily/combo skin type, more on the oily side. I also have huge pores with blackheads. After using this product, though, it left my skin feeling clean, clear, and refreshed. My T-zone has never felt so soft and supple. I wish this product were around during my teen years." –ERIKA
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in a black rice, white rice, Cactox, ferulic acid, and tranexamic acid version).
For gentle exfoliation and brightening, try the white rice formula. If you prefer deeper exfoliation to clear up congested pores, go for the black rice version.

Promising review: "I had heard of 'sweater shavers' but never owned one and thought they probably were a bogus product. But my mother-in-law owns a very nice pair of LL Bean slippers that had become very, very pilled, and I wanted to try to rejuvenate them for her. The embroidered slipper fabric (wool?) was in such bad shape that she would want new slippers if these could not be saved. I bought the Conair Fabric Shaver and was happily surprised (maybe flabbergasted is a better word) at the superior job it did. The product comes with easy-to-understand instructions, and I now think this will be an indispensable tool for me. It really does make damaged fabric look brand new again!" —Ginacucina
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors and in three-packs).
In addition to mosquitoes, you can also use it to treat bites and stings from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice.
Promising review: "WOW‼️ Those with type O blood know how EXCRUCIATING 🦟 bites are! No anti-itch cream seems to work, and bug spray doesn't do enough. They somehow bite through your sleeves and pants. WELL, NO MORE! Holy cow, it's a simple sucky tool. Now I have this little gadget, and it relieves the itch in less than a minute! I see the venom come out of the microscopic holes, and the swelling goes down too. It's an AMAZING invention. I spend soooo much money on antihistamines, anti-itch cream, and patches. I would've gladly paid triple if I had found this sooner.
"Anyone who says this doesn't work must be doing something wrong. I use it a day later, and it still works. Right now, I have a huge mosquito bite on my arm from two days ago, and just had to use it again because it started itching. The swelling went down, and some more gunk came out. Seriously, I'm itch-free! No more scabs from scratching. I am FLABBERGASTED! Buy it. You have nothing to lose. A true lifesaver. $10 for relief SOLD!" —Aalihte

Promising review: "I’m literally flabbergasted at how quick and easy this product did such a beautiful job beyond my expectations.

Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review: "I was determined to find the best way to clean the pipes of our Jacuzzi tub. I tried bleach, but I read it can take the finish off the tub. So I ordered this and gave it a whirl. Oh My Goodness! I was flabbergasted at how much manky stuff came out of those pipes. Again, I had used bleach previously and had never had this happen. It was horrifying but also satisfying to see that nasty stuff getting cleaned out. After it ran, I just cleaned the tub and ran clean water through the jets one more time to make sure it was super clean before I used the tub. Highly recommend!" —Dawn

When I found out about The MakeUp Eraser, I bought it immediately, and I wish I had done so sooner! I stopped using single-use makeup wipes, and I've saved sooo much money. It feels so soft on my skin, and all it takes is a few swipes to remove everything. I can use it a few times before washing it, and if I don't have a load of laundry to do, I just wash the towel with face wash, and everything comes right out!
Promising review: "I love this product!! I heard about this product recently for the first time and decided to give it a try since I wear heavy makeup every day. I’m flabbergasted! In a good way! Where has this been my entire life?!?! I’ve been using makeup remover wipes and micellar water, but since I purchased this, I’ve dumped those. I have very sensitive skin, and this is great. It's not at all irritating like a wipe or cotton pads. I love the softness of it, and it’s great for traveling too. Definitely recommend!" —Regina Phalange

Will continue to buy it over and over because it’s super affordable and easy to use. And most importantly. IT WORKS!!! They need a bigger size in this because we are running out too fast. Try it.

It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT
