“I drunkenly purchased it, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Promising reviews: "This product is AMAZING! It’s a true space saver, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!" —Lizbeth DelVecchio

"We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit several games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and then put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." —bradfieldfamily

Let it sit for up to 30 minutes or two hours if your hair is feeling especially damaged.

Promising review: "This is a game-changer for my hair! After just a few uses, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the overall health and appearance of my locks. The formula is rich and luxurious, leaving my hair feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and hydrated. I’ve also noticed reduced frizz and increased shine, making my hair look and feel revitalized. What sets this mask apart is its ability to repair and strengthen damaged hair. Whether it’s from heat styling, coloring, or environmental factors, this mask works wonders in restoring vitality to my strands. I love that it’s formulated with high-quality ingredients and free from harsh chemicals, giving me peace of mind about what I’m putting on my hair. The results speak for themselves, and I couldn’t be happier with this hair mask. If you’re looking to revive and nourish your hair, I highly recommend giving this a try. It’s a true lifesaver for anyone seeking luscious, healthy locks!" —Avani

Promising review: "Literally the best mascara I’ve ever used. I’m a big Sephora snob when it comes to mascara. I’ll spend $30 on one, and it will be 'meh.' I joke that I have two eyelashes, one on the top, one on the bottom. This gives me about 20 on each side! I read about it on BuzzFeed when I was drinking, so I drunkenly purchased it, and I couldn’t be happier. Five dollars for anything is amazing, let alone mascara!" —Julie

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review — I highly recommend reading it!

Promising reviews: "I was influenced into buying this spray, and I could not be happier about that. It really does get stains out and fast! I even tested it out on an old, washed-in-wine stain, and it came out! Very impressive!" —Carter McClaugherty

"I will shout this from the rooftops: This is hands-down the BEST stain remover for clothes! As a mom to a messy, fun-loving 2-year-old boy, I’ve seen my fair share of stubborn stains. From food to dirt, this miracle spray gets everything out. I try to spray it on as soon as the mess happens, and I haven’t had a single stain it couldn’t handle. I recommend it to all my fellow mamas! I even use it on our adult clothes, and it works just as well — with zero skin irritation. Total game-changer!" —Megan Mullis

Note: The user on the left is wearing the "Lifts" style.

Promising review (for the Lifts style): "I’ve tried Cakes. I’ve tried Boombas. I will never try another brand again. These are BRILLIANT. I wear a bra size 34F. I bought a size 2, even though it suggested a 3. I had a backless halter dress with deep cut armholes, so I wanted to be sure nothing showed. These adhered perfectly, provided uplift and subtle shape, stayed put through a night of dancing, and peeled off painlessly. They were also completely invisible under the dress, no seams, no show through with flash photography. I could not be happier with a product." —Amber Marienthal

Promising review (for the Circle style): "Nippies Nipple Covers are amazing. I have very small breasts (AA), and trying to find a bra that fits has always been a struggle. My daughter came across Nippies and thought I might benefit from them. Sure enough, they work perfectly for me. The adhesion is reliable and removes easily, but most importantly, they are comfortable. I just couldn't be happier. I bought a color close to my skin tone, then ordered a darker pair later. A great value for the price, and I would recommend this product." —Divine Truth

The size you see above is the Large size.

Promising review: "I have the blush pink color in size large, and I couldn't be happier with it. I usually travel with like four different toiletry pouches, but this fits it all, finally! I took it traveling for the first time, and it fits literally SO MUCH stuff!!! Full-size products, makeup, all the things! When the pockets are all full, you can fold it up, and it still zips closed nicely, without seeming overly packed or bulging. The fabric is a bit more delicate, but it's not like I'm throwing it around. The zippers also seem fairly sturdy. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it, and get the LARGE size!! I very much recommend this travel toiletry bag!" —Amazon Customer

This stuff is strong and can cause a tingle when you apply it. Be sure to conduct a patch test before applying it to your face, and start slow and low. Mild 50 and 100 are better for beginners and sensitive skin, while 300 and 700 may need to be worked up to over time. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this skincare product! It works so well, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started using it. My skin looks healthier, feels smoother, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!" —E

"You can feel this working immediately. It’s probably the best spicule cream I have used so far. I have large pores, and nothing I have used has helped make them smaller. This actually makes a slight difference. It’s not massive, but enough that I notice it. There’s no scent, which [I like]; I prefer my skincare products not to smell too much at all. They need to work, not smell pretty. Definitely happy with this random purchase. I notice my skin is more hydrated as well. Usually, in the morning, I wake up, and my skin is a little dry. This has changed that." —Maria Page

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with my purchase. My daughters often accidentally let rubber bands and their hair go down the drain. Our landlord charges us for calls to the plumber when our tub won't drain. After 48 years on Earth, I realized there are different plungers for different issues. Not all plungers are for toilets!! So I bought this bad boy, and within three minutes tops, my tub was draining!!!! I'm absolutely thrilled!!!" —Angelina Harmon

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal says, "My hair is the ~perfect~ combo of wavy, curly, and frizzy and this drugstore product has been a holy grail of mine for some time. I've found that it's the only formula that will give me soft, naturally curly waves come the a.m. and since I'm generally a nighttime hair washer, I have the perfect excuse to avoid blasting my hair with heat. Before hitting the pillow, I like to run my fingers through my towel-dried hair with a pea-sized amount of this, flip my mane over, and then give the ends a good scrunch. In the morn, my hair appears shiny with defined, wavy curls — we're not talking HD — but they have a nice, soft definition to them that doesn't require much styling."

Promising review: "My hair feels moisturized, the curls are great. I don't have that dried-out, crunchy feeling anymore. It has a great feel, couldn’t be happier." —Ruth S

Promising review: "We just got a new pup and decided to give this a try to help with the transition process. On her first night with us, I lay her on my lap with it so she could get used to it before putting her in the crate with it. She instantly took to it and fell asleep within a few minutes. When I put them both in the crate, she climbed right on top of it and went back to sleep! I’ve used it as a calming aid when trying to get her to settle down for sleepy time, and it has worked every time. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!" —Chellie

Promising review: "Best foundation I've used in my life. I don't think I'm ever going back to liquid foundation; K-beauty cushions are my new ride-or-die. It goes on like a dream, covers my blemishes very effectively, and evens my skin tone in a way that looks close to fully natural. I have combination skin, so I've dealt with really awful cakiness and separating with foundations for a really long time, yet this isn't an issue whatsoever with this product. It's my silver bullet, couldn't be happier with this purchase. The first time I wore my foundation out, one of my friends literally commented that my foundation looked perfect, and was surprised by how little cakiness or separation it caused compared to my old routine. So yeah, buy this if you struggle at all with foundation application issues like I have." —Madeleine J

Promising review: "My mother and I have been using this for about a year and could not be happier with this product. We both suffer from different skin conditions, and this BB cream conceals and protects our skin wonderfully. It gives a natural, even look, and we are constantly getting compliments on our skin. I def recommend it! :)" —Tatiana

Get it from Amazon for $12.90 (available in seven shades).

Promising review: "OK...great invention and I’m really, really, really happy I bought it. It works perfectly for me. Yay! Pulling lids off cans was painful. I don’t even have arthritis, but all the same, it hurt my fingers. Sometimes I could only get it halfway pulled back. Not a problem anymore! Snaps right off, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m not one to leave many reviews, but when something is over the top for me, I want to share it. I definitely recommend this! 🙂💜" —P.L.

Promising review: "If you have a house with carpets and have pets, children, or otherwise find your carpets getting spot stains, you NEED this amazing little cleaning machine!!! It’s small, light, and portable, and quickly and easily pulls out dirty spots, even if you’ve let them sit for a few days. I haven’t had occasion to try it on something as staining like red wine or berries (I imagine true stains like that would take more work to get out if it was even possible to do so), but I have cats who occasionally throw up on our carpets leaving brown marks, and a kid who occasionally forgets to take off shoes and tracks in mud. Before I got this, I’d try to get the spots out with the carpet spot cleaner foam, and the spots never fully came out, and sometimes if I scrubbed too hard, it would slightly discolor the carpet too. With this, spots are extracted quickly and easily, the carpet remains in perfect condition, and I feel like there’s much less chemical cleaner residue left behind! I was skeptical about spending the money and having to keep around a dedicated appliance for this purpose, but I couldn’t be happier that I decided to buy it. 10 out of 5 stars!" —e.h.

This cordless, rechargeable, and dimmable light has an IP44 rating, which means it can handle splashes of water. Don't immerse the light in water! You can place it somewhere out of direct contact with water (like the sink counter or a bathroom shelf). If you're going to place it in your shower, avoid the ledges and opt for a spot that doesn't get wet.

Hear one TikToker's thoughts on the shower lamp here.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this lamp. I was a little hesitant to get it for the price, but I could not be happier with it. While I was pregnant, I used it in the shower. It’s amazing how something so small can transform something that you do mindlessly every day into something that feels like a spa experience. When I went into labor, I took it into the hospital with me, and all of the nurses kept raving about how perfect it was for replacing the bright hospital lights. It was so much easier than packing the string lights I used for my previous labor. Now I use it by my bed for breastfeeding, and I love how easy it is to change the dimness. The brightest setting allows me to see enough for easy diaper changes, and I dim it all the way for nighttime feedings. It’s held up through being dropped on the floor several times, and the charge lasts over a week with nightly usage. I could not recommend this enough! So worth the money spent." —Duane

Just a heads up: Reviewers say that the texture can be quite thick and a bit sticky, but say the stickiness will go away as the product is absorbed.

Promising reviews: "I love this cream, and it’s doing wonders for my skin. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much." —LISA A QUINTIN

"The first thing to ever FULLY reset my skin to being like a 5-year-old baby. I’ve tried so many other products. The closest product I’ve used to being on this level is snail mucin. But this jelly cream is the best. I’m 24, and it completely smooths out any lines, brightens dull skin, gets rid of tired sagging, and plumps and my skin, and makes it feel like indescribably brand-new. I looked like a different person." —Emm

FWIW, I can never be convinced that rubber bands aren't the superior method for closing bags, but I am the owner of GripStics, and my fiancé loves these things.

Promising reviews: "Couldn’t be happier! Best way to keep anything fresh!" —Bun

"I'm a stickler about stale chips and have always used those little snapping clips. I thought they worked pretty well, but they really don't compared to GripStics. The snack that proved this the most was Pirate's Booty. If these are exposed to air for more than three minutes, they turn into styrofoam peanuts. I promise they're just as fresh as when you first open them with GripStics. They're going to be my go-to chip clips moving forward." —Rachel Campbell

Promising review: "Excellent quality hoodie! I own three of these now and couldn’t be happier. They hold up perfectly in the dryer, no shrinking at all. I did size up for a more relaxed fit, and it worked out great. 100% recommend!" —alexandra voigt

Promising review: "This product is nice, somewhat creamy, and blends easily. I have dark skin under my eyes and in the inside corners. For years, I have tried many products to correct this problem. This works! Don’t let the pink throw you off. I tap it on with my finger. It doesn’t take a lot. I’ve used it under my makeup. Lightly, over my makeup for touch-ups, or on its own. I couldn’t be happier. Next time I’m ordering two. 😊" —Donald E. Gorsegner

Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews, but I have to give this product 5 stars. I’ve always had a thick beard and 'stubble,' and shaving has been something I dreaded — especially after my time in the military. Razor shaving has caused irritation for years, and I’ve avoided it entirely, opting for alternatives that never felt quite right. Using shaving cream also takes too long for someone like me who prefers to sleep in a little later. This product, however, has completely changed the game. Dry shaving with it is a breeze — no tugs, nicks, or discomfort whatsoever. It leaves me looking professional and well-groomed, easily meeting military grooming standards. And the speed is incredible — faster than any other trimmer I’ve used. I’m genuinely impressed and couldn’t be happier with my purchase!" —Devin Teal

Promising review: "I recently purchased the Hatch Restore 3, and I couldn’t be happier with it. This device has truly transformed my morning and nighttime routines. The sunrise alarm feature is a game-changer — it wakes me up gently with gradual light, which feels much more natural and less jarring than a traditional alarm. I actually wake up feeling refreshed! The sound machine offers a wide variety of soothing options, and I love being able to customize my wind-down routine with calming sounds and ambient lighting. The app is user-friendly, and setting up different sleep and wake routines was simple and intuitive. Overall, the Hatch Restore 3 is sleek, modern, and packed with features that genuinely support better sleep and more peaceful mornings. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their sleep hygiene or simply enjoy a more relaxing start and end to their day." —Ceciley

Promising review: "SO MANY SOUNDS. I was just looking for a white noise machine to help with sleep and distractions, etc. For the same price as a 'regular' white noise box, THIS little guy does so much more. Don’t let the size of this little box fool you; it gets LOUD. I like the built-in timer, I like the variety of sounds — everything from nature sounds to rain to thunder to industrial fans, motor hum, and of course white noise. For the money, I couldn’t be happier and recommend it highly if you’re in the market for one. Great for a kids' room if it’s bedtime and you’ve got guests over; it does great to drown out adult talk so your child doesn’t get distracted and can fall asleep. Or maybe your house is super quiet at night and you and your partner…are not…and there are kids or parents around, etc. Or maybe you just like falling asleep to the rain or crickets or a 220v belt-driven factory ventilation fan. Everybody’s got their thing, and there’s no shame in that! 😉👍🏼" —Morgan8er

Promising review: "My dog scent hunts, so giving him medicine is near impossible. Had him in the emergency vet, and they used these, so I bought some in disbelief, and they actually worked! The strong smell of hickory must mask the pills because he gobbles them up twice a day with eagerness. We couldn’t be happier! No more double team wrestling, our 120-pound Lab to take his medicine. Strongly recommend using these for hiding medicine for hard-to-trick pups." —Christopher J Sand

Promising review: "Couldn’t be happier with my Kindle. The battery life lasts for at least a month, even with an hour or two of reading every day. I love the brightness because even on low, it’s easily visible in a dark room, and you can even use dark mode for less strain on your eyes. Being able to flip a page with a single finger also means you can read a book on your side if you so please, or be able to leave a hand under a blanket. Also, it’s far safer for a Kindle to be in your carry-on bag than a book that will get worn and torn. I miss having finished books on a bookshelf, but Kindle really improves the reading experience in every other aspect, so it is a worthy purchase." —Blake Eske

"Best kitty blanket we've ever used. Our most recent rescue was 8 weeks old when we brought her into the house, and we ordered this blanket for her crate (we use a large dog crate to ease our new kittens into the household). She had been with four siblings, so she was used to sleeping with them, and we wanted something warm and cuddly for her. This was perfect, so we ordered two more!" —Nebraska Dude

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes, two colors, and in multipacks).

Promising review: "My dog used to get an upset stomach at least once a week, which would be a lot of work for me because she would have diarrhea almost every 2 hours for 24 hours. I thought at first that she might have worms, but it wasn't that, and when brought to the vet, nothing unusual was noted. She also has an obsessive licking problem, which I read online could be OCD, anxiety, or allergies. My hope was allergies, so I decided to try this and see if it helped. While the licking problem didn't go away, her upset stomach issue has. It has been at least two continuous weeks now that she hasn't had an upset stomach, and I couldn't be happier! I feed my 5-pounder half in the morning and the other half in the evening. It took her maybe a few minutes to get used to it, and I was afraid she was going to reject it, but she loves it and looks forward to eating it daily now. When I say 'probiotic,' her ears perk up, and she runs right over, as she does for her treats. For 3 months' worth of probiotics for my small dog and no more upset stomach bouts, this is a great deal. I'm going to be a repeat buyer!" —kittybee

Promising review: "I don’t often write product reviews, but for this, I’ll make an exception. This is by far the most comfortable sleep mask I’ve ever owned. It’s the perfect weight, made from comfortable material, and keeps unwanted light out. As a now permanent part of my bedtime routine, you’ll always find this on my nightstand (unless it’s in my suitcase while traveling). I couldn’t be happier with the Nodpod!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My wife tells me I’m ridiculous, and my kids laugh at all of the pillows I have stuffed in closets because they are not comfortable. But now I have FINALLY found Coop! I have tried at least 20 different brands/styles, including 'hotel' pillows, and have made my own. For the past four to five years, nothing has helped. I’m a back and side sleeper and need neck support in both positions. The Coop pillow somehow does that. It is so soft but has enough resistance to support (this is after I removed about 25% of the standard fill stuffing. Many times, pillows were good for the first few days or even a week, but then the neck pain would start again. I have no medical issues and work out often, but for whatever reason, my neck is sore in the morning after sleeping on a regular pillow. I am now on six months with Coop Original Adjustable, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!" —Bill

Promising review: "I thought to myself, 'How different can these be from the little lip balms E.l.f. already sells?' What a difference these are. I have a few of the smaller fruity lip balms. I love them, but they’re not incredibly moisturizing. Just something nice smelling and pretty. These, however, are something else. They’re moisturizing, smell so amazing, taste good (please, don’t eat your lip balm), and make my lips look gorgeous. I got the Strawberry Shortcake and Yummy Gummy shades, and I couldn’t be happier about them. The scents are spot on, and the pigment is just right. They’re not opaque by any means, but they provide such a nice wash of color. Very easy to wear. I’m definitely getting more shades. 10/10 highly recommend!" —Bunny

It literally works better than I ever expected and better than sticky roller sheets. Hasn’t damaged any furniture or clothing, is super reusable, and easy to empty. Doesn’t feel like the most expensive construction, but I’ve had absolutely no issues using it at least 100 times. We don’t use it directly on the dog, but she is couch colored, and it’s always amazing to see how much hair is removed. If you’re looking for an alternative to sticky rollers, this is great!" —K.

I add one of these to my water each day (happily, as they taste great) and along with a vitamin D supplement, and we eliminated my night sweats! Could not be happier! Dehydration is SO common!

Over the past five years, my butt has worn a very persistent trough into the chaise section where I always sit to watch TV. Although I wrestle that huge cushion back into shape every night, it always defeats me and goes back to having a large butt-shaped divot. Not anymore!
