Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $16.36 (available in two formulas). 

Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning. Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor. Picture 3: After cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura

"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 was in shock. 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

Get it from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in two sizes).  

You'll also get two 8-inch extension straps and a 28-inch strap for creating a unique-to-you fit!

Promising review: "Wow! They really do help. I have a knee that locks up a lot of times and these really help make it feel better. It feels so good on my sore knee that I hate to take it off." —Dolder

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (also available individually).

Promising reviews: "Would give 10 stars if I could. There has yet to be a stain my boys get on their clothes (or mine) that this stuff hasn’t been able to remove." —Sam

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Heather Braga is a huge fan of this spray: "My 1-year-old is a big ice pop fan, so I've got a long life ahead of me to be filled with stain removal. In the above photo I held her while she sucked down a red ice pop on a 90 degree day. Naturally, it dripped all over my white tank top (note to self: stop wearing white around these kids). I was actually kind of excited because it meant I got to put my newly purchased bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray to the test! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to dampen the stained area, spray it with the stain remover, then pop it into the washing machine as usual. What do ya know — it really worked! Completely cleared away all the red stains! Not sure what witchcraft has been used to make this product, but I'm here for it."

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in multi-packs).

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

"I don't normally write reviews, but I had to with this product. These things are amazing! AND you can't beat the price! They are so comfortable that it feels like you're not wearing anything. After washing them with soap and water, they don't lose the stickiness. If you're on the fence about them, I suggest giving them a try because I highly doubt you'd want to return them. I like them so much that I bought a second pair!" —Solidkar

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

Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and one that fits cups DD+).

Promising review: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear, and I finally found it. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer

"So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek-hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I try. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey

Get a set of five from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 12 color combos).

Promising review: "I finally found the perfect leg pillow. It is not too heavy or bulky. It’s perfectly squishy, and I can finally sleep in comfort and free from knee and leg pain. It’s worth every penny. Don’t hesitate to get one for yourself, especially if you have sleep issues due to pain." —DM

Get it from Amazon for $32.48+ (available in four sizes and 11 colors).

You will have to commit to consistent use; that's the only way reviewers say they were able to see results. The brand recommends applying twice a day. Read more about how Q10 benefits the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this lotion! I’ve tried dozens of body moisturizers over the years, but this one blows them all out of the water. The texture is silky without being greasy, and it absorbs beautifully— no weird residue or tacky feeling.

"I have dry-to-very-dry skin, and this lotion with Q10 and vitamin C keeps me soft, hydrated, and glowing for days. I’ve even noticed my skin feels firmer and smoother—like a mini spa treatment every time I use it. Plus, the scent is fresh and light, not overpowering. If you’re on the fence, let me push you right over it— your skin will thank you. 🙌" —Wilcox Family

Promising reviews: "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

"I don't usually write reviews, but I have to take a second to RAVE about his product! I'm 55, and my poor chest has been ruddy, dull, and prone to ugly rashes. After my last outbreak, I was just sick of it, so I bought this. Within a week, the skin on my chest was smooth, even fresh-looking. I am no longer embarrassed to wear scoop neck shirts! Absolute miracle product. I wish I had taken before and after pics." —Rebecca Campbell

Promising review: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." —Kimba

Promising review: "The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 JK I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF

Even BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga is a fan:

"The spray itself is a WORKHORSE. It's incredible how well it works. I use it on all my pots, pans, and dishes. I even use it to clean my kitchen counters at the end of the day. It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. I've even seen a friend use it to immediately remove a coffee stain from a white sweater!"

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.

BuzzFeed Shopping Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly has been putting this toothpaste to the test:

"I've been testing out the whitening version of this toothpaste, and it works just as well as any drugstore brand toothpaste without irritation. (I'll occasionally get irritation from whitening strips and treatments, and space them out because of it, but I've had none with this!) My mouth just FEELS cleaner when I use this, and it's even easier to use my tongue scraper after brushing, too! I think this has earned a spot as my new go-to."

Promising review: "I’m so glad I tried TheraBreath! This toothpaste actually keeps my breath fresh all day without that strong, burning taste. My mouth feels super clean, my gums look healthier, and I love that it helps protect against cavities too. The fresh mint flavor is light but refreshing. Definitely sticking with this one — it’s a game changer!" —Max

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.55. 

Promising review: "I’m not usually blown away by products; in fact, I’m used to being a little disappointed. But not with this product! This stuff is perfect for traveling. It got rid of wrinkles and static quickly, and the scent is an added bonus. Would definitely recommend and will be buying more." —DdWojo 

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

BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga loves this beauty product:

"I've personally tested this out, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me."

Promising review: "This color corrector is the very best one I have found. It is creamy without being greasy, heavy, or drying. It truly doesn’t accentuate fine lines. Stays on for a full 12-hour shift once it is set with powder. Blends seamlessly and ridiculously easily. Makes me look like I got restful sleep. Absolutely recommend. And especially for the price point, you really can’t go wrong. Under-eye perfection!" —Becca

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four tones).

Each mini jar contains 38 lotion bursts, and is a great size for stashing in your purse for moisture on the go. Just be mindful about keeping it somewhere warm, as the lotion bursts may melt and clump together.

Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pop rubs into the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle

Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in two scents).

Promising reviews: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top, and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson

"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

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Negesti Kaudo had this to say about the ChomChom roller:

"I just got one of these, and I use it on everything. My chow chow puppy is only seven months old, so we haven't even hit his true shedding season, but he's already started leaving fur any and everywhere around my house. This roller keeps my couch, bed, blankets, and definitely my clothes, looking like I don't even have a dog at home. It's my new favorite product, seriously."

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 $24.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Wow. This works fast. As soon as I put it on, I could feel it working. I was surprised by how well it covers the sore. I thought, 'Is this thing magic?!' It stays put, too. I put it on last night and already feel so much better today, and it looks a lot better. This is important to have in stock just in case this comes out of the blue, which is what happened to me. I’m so thankful for the people who created this. This is the best product I’ve ever used. And I’ve used others with no effect. This is powerful stuff." —GG

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $12.97.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder uses these all the time. Check out her Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets review!

Promising review: "This pack of six tablets is a game changer, specially formulated to remove limescale and buildup, ensuring optimal performance. Using Affresh regularly has revitalized my dishwasher, leaving it looking and smelling brand new after each wash cycle. The convenience of the tablet format makes application a breeze — simply drop one in and let it work its cleaning magic. Say farewell to stubborn residues and hello to spotless dishes! Elevate your dishwasher maintenance with Affresh — a must-have for anyone seeking efficiency and cleanliness in every wash." —Ryan

Cyklar is a small business specializing in skincare. It was founded by actress Claudia Sulewski.

Promising review: "This has been such a great addition to my body care routine. It's so easy to use! It’s lightweight but still really nourishing, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling. My skin feels noticeably softer, smoother, and more hydrated after using it consistently. I love that it has ceramides because it helps support and strengthen the skin barrier — especially when my skin feels dry. It layers well with other body products and leaves my skin looking healthy with a nice natural glow. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a gentle, hydrating body essence that actually works! Love the glow of my skin!" —Erica

Promising review: "Easy to use and results are outstanding! I wiped the leaves of the following plants: money tree, palm, snake, ZZ, corn plant, and zebra. I have been caring for house plants for over 50 years, and this product is by far the best for what it is designed to do." —rambler

Promising reviews: "Obsessed would be an understatement!! Love them even more in person. Fit is perfect! Arch support is excellent for those with high arches. These can easily be dressed up or down." —Lacey Bennett

"First time buying Dr. Martens sandals, and I am blown away by the comfort of these! I can't believe I haven't bought some sooner." —Donna Campbell

Get it from Amazon for $74.95+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in five colors).

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 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: "Absolutely one of the best products I have ever purchased! I have actually been very surprised at how many people have seen me just a month into using this product and, without knowing I was using anything new, the census has been 'Wow, your skin looks like it’s glowing!' This product is absolutely amazing and does what it promises! Definitely have to say I've had more results with this than with any other product." —Diane Diaz Castro

Promising reviews: "I don’t write many reviews, good or bad. This one. WOW. I mean, it truly saved me in Thailand and everywhere in between. The battery is impressive, as is the power behind the fan. Won’t leave home without it." —MorrisKait

"One of my absolute must-haves as a chronically ill and nauseous girl. My fan seriously comes with me everywhere and is amazing for travel. I can even use it as a sleep fan if needed. Amazing for airplanes and train rides, amazing for walking through hot and crowded places, too. It’s quiet, super powerful with up to 5 speeds, cute and lightweight, and fits in small bags." —Haley

Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

Promising reviews: "Best fan I have ever bought in my life. I would buy this again and again. 10 out of 10 would recommend." —J

"This is a very powerful fan. It definitely beats the two previous fans that I had (both were different brands). I can't sleep without it. It may be a little loud for some when it's on one of the high settings, but I like white noise while I sleep. I run naturally hot and have fans in every room. I've replaced three of them so far with Dreo. It's my favorite fan." —Idontwanna

Get it from Amazon for $89.98+ (available in two colors and two styles).

Promising reviews: "I don't usually write product reviews — it's just not worth my time. But in this case, it was worth it. This is fantastic. I've used so many products that offer automatic curls (like the Chi), and this beats all of them." —H. Brown

"This product is extremely easy to use on yourself and or your friends! It was much cheaper than one of the other ones we saw, but this one worked way beyond my expectations! Best product ever!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $47.97+ (available in two barrel sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. Easy to clean, easy to use, very sturdy. The whisk stays in the position quite well; it stows away quite flat. The perfect solution for a kitchen with limited storage!" —CMA01

"I'm so glad I found this thing. Fighting with a bulbous whisk in my kitchen drawer was so annoying, so being able to flatten it is a dream. It also makes it possible to get into the corners of my cookware, where a normal whisk could never. Not to mention it's so much easier to clean! Best whisk ever. 10/10 would recommend!!" —Whitney S.

Get it from Amazon for $8.79+ (available in green and blue and in multipacks).

Promising review: "I’ve been wearing Tevas since they launched in the 1980s. From river sports to hiking, they do not disappoint. They are light as a feather, add a bounce to my step, and allow my toes to splay. Sizing is always reliable and consistent. They wash off and dry quickly when dusted in sand, and river rocks won’t get trapped underfoot. Easy on and off Velcro assures they stay where they need to and don’t float downstream. When traveling, these flatforms transition to a night on the town, dancing the night away without a single blister. Bragging rights are the adventure tan lines on my feet from wearing these, doing all that I love outdoors. My only gripe is that I didn’t think of them first and invent them. Customer for life. Hey Teva, need a rep?" —Angel

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in 20 colors/patterns).

After rinsing both shampoo and conditioner, apply this mask to damp hair from the ends to the tips. Leave on for five minutes, then rinse.

Promising reviews: "Liquid gold. I loveeee this product! It is so affordable and works like magic!!! It feels like I just got my hair done each time I use it! Such a self-esteem booster! It is so nice to do this for five minutes in the shower, and it just lifts your mood and makes you feel so much more put together once you are out of the shower! I highly recommend!" —Annalisa kampel

"I have 3c curly frizzy hair, and previous glossing treatments didn’t do anything, so I didn’t have high expectations. I was super surprised that my curls appeared glossier and were reflecting light after using this. It didn’t do much for the frizz, but it’s not meant to. It’s also super easy to use!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "Absolutely the best coffee maker I've owned. Been through quite a few of that other pod brewing brands, and this one is so much more reliable and makes a better cup of coffee with a very flexible cup size and the option to use pods or grounds. Best part is the small footprint in a very small kitchen with limited countertop space." —Cyndi

"I think I've been in a committed relationship with this coffee maker for about a year now, and we are very happy together. Love of my life." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "Wow! Love how these sunglasses look. Feel like a superstar. They fit great, not too big. They don’t slip. They are lightweight, and the frames are not too thick. I like the lighter lenses; everything is very clear. I wasn’t squinting with them on, so I would say the sun protection is good. They came with a cleaning cloth as well. I will be ordering in more colors." —Tracey

Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 32 styles and multipacks).

Promising review: "My son had recently turned the house into a death trap with his Legos all over the floors. Walking anywhere barefoot became impossible because you would inevitably step on one and get it lodged in your foot. It got to the point where I was afraid to go anywhere at night because of the impending doom. Then we found this organizer, and since then, our lives have been saved. He can quickly and easily store all of his Legos in one place. We can now get all of them cleaned up in minutes and know that we can walk around the house in peace once again." —Chris

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
