Promising review: "These are so incredibly cute! I love that they look like soot sprites! I used them today and noticed a significant decrease in drying time. No static, and able to be scented with essential oils. A great alternative to polyester, single-use dryer sheets." —Daria

Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." —IrishEyes

BluApple is a small business founded in 2009 to help combat food waste. Each packet lasts three months — when it's done, you can open the packet and sprinkle the contents on your houseplant as fertilizer. Snag some refills here.
Promising review: "These do seem to work, extending the life of my fruits and vegetables up to a week longer. Change the packet inside on schedule. I shake them occasionally and make sure that no produce is covering the top holes. I bought more for family/friends when I told them about it. No food is more expensive than that which you throw away (thanks, Mom)." —ttmadison

This starts green and blends into a "universal shade," which may not be a perfect match for fair or dark skin.
Promising review: "I swear by this. Been using it for about a year now, it goes on every day and gets all the redness off my face, when I’m in a hurry I just top it off with alittle powder and I’m done but it’s a perfect base layer for any makeup routine if you had a lot of redness like I do." –Andrea

Promising review: "I recently used this toilet sealing tape to give my bathroom a cleaner, more polished look, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The tape adheres perfectly to the base of the toilet, creating a seamless and professional finish. It’s durable, water-resistant, and keeps dirt and moisture from accumulating in hard-to-clean areas. Installation was simple and hassle free, with no mess or fuss. The bright white color complements the flooring beautifully, enhancing the overall aesthetic of my bathroom. This tape is a game changer for anyone looking to add a neat and protective barrier around their toilet. Highly recommended!" —Hayden Scott

Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.

HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian swears by these: "I only use these now to remove my makeup, including heavy mascara, and they are great for my sensitive skin. I do follow up with a gentle cleanser to cleanse my skin once all my makeup is off. They're big and dry quickly so you can use the same towel a number of times before having to wash it or switch to another one."
Promising review: "These things are so soft! Great for taking off makeup. I was using the Makeup Eraser before, but these are 100 times better. You just wet them, wipe off your makeup, rinse, and hang out. I guess you could use a new one each day, but I they are very big so you can get a few days out of one. Great value for the money!" —Shopforbargains

Promising review: "I was a little skeptical when I took this out of the package, yet my doubt turned to joy LOL. These are a great buy, and I believe I will serve my dryer well past its lifetime. My dryer is only a year old and I ALWAYS, after every use, clean the lint filter. I was surprised how much settles to the base of the dryer underneath the filter trap. You may have to use this a few times, depending on your machine, to get all the lint out, but at least you'll get results. Yes, I know its easier to use the vacuum to get it out, I prefer not lugging the vacuum out for this and this is cheaper AND I can give one away since they give you two." —P. Andersen

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord(who's a fan of the original) has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"
Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!).

Promising review: "Easy to use, pretty long wearing, very smooth, and comfortable. More of a slight satin finish, not too matte and not too shiny. The product does not flake and lasts all day into night without a touch-up, as long as you don't have an extremely oily meal. I actually now reach for this over my Chanel lip ink. Highly recommended." —Andy D

Promising reviews: "I cannot imagine how we would have managed a big international trip without this. It saved us so much stress and, I’m sure, surprise charges at the airport." —Potter Freak
"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. The first flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." —Robert

BuzzFeed Shopping writerEmma Lord loves this body lotion: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying, and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."
Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

This works for both indoor and outdoor plants.
Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." —Pattijwr

Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

Will be buying more!" —Amazon Customer

Tip: Hide this DIY fix with a belt. The pack comes with two sizes: the three-hole button extenders can extend the waist of pants by 3.5 inches, while the two-hole button extenders can extend it by 2.5 inches.
Promising reviews: "What an ingenious idea: elastic with three button holes for extending the waistline on pants. I wish I had known about these earlier, soooo much easier." —Terri
"These work great. We are taking our rescued basset hound to a Margaritaville-themed event, but the tropical shirt I ordered for her was a little tight, and the vendor didn’t have a larger size (my husband and I had shirts to match hers). So I found these, and I love the three holes and the different colors that matched her tropical shirt! Problem solved!" —woods

The shields can adhere to a variety of surfaces so whether your sofa is polyester, cotton, or acetate-based fabric, you're good. Just note it's not meant for use on leather.
Promising review: "I have two cats and these shields work amazingly. They have an adhesive backing, which is really easy to take off. Also, they’re easy to cut to the size needed if you have an awkward arm or something on your chair. They absolutely repel my cats from even trying to scratch as they're made from a hard plastic. I love that it’s not the double sided sticky kind so there’s no hair or anything sticking to it." —Mya Ramirez

For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these has 5 grams, or 15 grams, for the entire set. So, even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal.
Promising review: "[Alternative] for the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya

Promising review: "Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. Plumber even said I need an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and shower that all match so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing. Stuffed it down, pulled up hair, and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $12 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." —juliejules

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets.
Promising review: “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning, just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!!” —Shannon Warfel

Promising review: "Y’all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I’ve been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had and it didn’t do diddly squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this one, and it just arrived… it completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slowly, and within a minute, I had the water running so quickly and smoothly again. I got the small one, and it’s the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." —JNeen

Promising review: "I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes! So, I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. Mini Moso was the answer. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A few days after placing them in my prized off shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that’s pushing things, but I’ve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!" —Erin

I got the two-pack because I wasn't sure these would work on my Swiffer WetJet. HUNNY THESE BAD BOYS ARE THE EFFING BEST THING ON AMAZON! Buy them. Buy them right now. I literally JUST used these to swiffer my bedroom and bathroom. These stuck to my swiffer so well I had to nearly pry them off once I was done. They are so absorbent. I swear those disposable pads will never be bought ever again. I am ordering more of these pads. They even came with a lovely handwritten note from the lady who owns the company. Honestly I have no idea why I waited so long. This was the best Swiffering ever. My floors seriously look cleaner. 20 stars." —ElleSoFresh

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. 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

I'm not sure *why* you would use a paper towel to hold a watermelon under the faucet but it's certainly a striking example of the strength of bamboo! Anyway, all you have to do when you're done using one is throw it in the wash.
Promising review: "I clean for a living, so using these on the job as well as my home makes life much easier, and I can feel better about not being so wasteful. I use them for drying my hands, cleaning the countertops, and as a reusable Swiffer pad for floors. What I do is mark each one with a Sharpie. My first initial for hands and face at home, 'C' for cleaning counters and 'F' for floor. What I love about these the most is they dry a lot quicker than regular towels and washing them is super easy. Dirt and grime tends to just rinse right out. Even on the mop pads. It's incredible. Now I don't have to waste money buying the Swiffer refills. These are different to use but it's worth figuring out what works for you!! A must buy for eco-friendly cleaning!" —Joyce

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it! Just use some serum to get the razor to glide without nicking your skin.
Promising review: "I've tried so many facial hair removers, and this one has worked the best by far. Many of the battery-operated ones I've had would always leave hairs behind and didn't shave as closely as I wanted, so I had to redo it on a frequent basis. I've also had other dermaplane-type razors, and they weren't very sharp. Let me tell you...Billie is the bomb! It works beautifully. It shaves very close, leaving no hair behind. I have found that because of the closeness of the shave, you do not have to redo it as often. Spend a couple bucks more and GET THIS ONE! You will be so happy you did!" —Just Sparkle
