A hair-finishing cream to help tame those annoying little hairs that surround your face when you throw your hair into a messy bun or ponytail. Sometimes you don’t have the energy or time to fully style your locks, so you need a quick fix.
Made from natural plant extracts, the serum won’t leave your hair greasy.
Promising review: “No matter what I do or what expensive and high-rated product I try, my flyaways are an annoying constant. This product has completely rid me of my daily top of head flyaway frizz!

A tension relief stick for anyone who has experienced the pain of a really, really bad headache. It has a mixture of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender essential oils to relieve tension when that afternoon ache hits.
Katy Herman/BuzzFeed
This stick is super easy to use! Just roll it on the back on your neck, forehead, and temples for some relief from the most annoying head pain. And don’t worry about residue, the stick rolls on clear and won’t leave a greasy shine.
Promising review: “I have noticed throughout my work day I will begin to get the dreaded afternoon headache. This migraine stick is my new go-to. The second I feel a headache coming on, I just roll this on and within seconds I feel it working. Within a minute or so I feel fine again. I have also noticed it give a little boost of energy as well. I have also used it when I feel a full blown migraine coming on. All I can say is it really works. In addition to taking the pain away, it also provides a tingly sensation. Wherever you roll it on tingles after application.
I have also noticed that even if I use it often, it keeps working. You don’t grow a tolerance to it.” —Corinne Beck

These patches are super effective and will make your morning routine of fussing over breakouts so much smoother. You can apply the patch directly to the pimple before you go to bed and remove it in the morning. What’s gross is that you can really see the pus and gunk on the patch when you remove it, so maybe don’t look too closely if you want to keep your breakfast down.
Promising review: “These saved my skin. They take out all the gunk, leaving your pores looking refined with whiteheads gone. You wake up, pull them off, and there’s everything there on the patch. I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised by a product. They actually are the answer to whiteheads and clogged pores. They bring out the stuff you see and don’t see under the skin. They clear up the stubborn area I have so easily.” —SamMan

Mesh laundry bags that’ll help separate lights from darks and delicates from non-delicates to keep laundry organized. That way, you can just pop the bags into the machine instead of desperately searching for items at the bottom of your bin.
Amazon
These mesh bags protect clothing from snagging or tangling so you never again have to toss a beloved item because of tearing. Since they’re mesh, water and detergent can easily get through for a full cleaning. And don’t worry about them opening, the zippers tuck into an elastic band to keep them safely shut while washing and drying.
Promising review: “This set is AMAZING! The assortment of medium and smaller ones fit the bill for all my laundry needs. I used the largest bag to wash my queen-sized duvet cover with some other bedding. I used to wash them in separate, smaller loads to avoid the sheet tangle. These large bags cured that problem and I can wash everything together without having a big knot to pull apart. Just buy them; you’ll be so glad you did.” —Elizabeth
Get them from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a set of four, five, or seven).
5.
A motivational planner to keep track of exactly which days you’ve marked as future vacation. Let the countdown begin. Oh, and to also keep track of lunch appointments, big meetings, due dates, etc. Work hard, play hard.
bando
Promising review: “My attention was immediately caught by the bright pink and orange writing, ‘A Lot Can Happen In a Year.’ As if the endless opportunities that are hidden in that phrase didn’t excite me enough – I opened this planner to find colorful and spunky pages that were begging to be decorated.
The planner is laid out perfectly with note pages, monthly grids, and weekly layouts that give you more than enough room to personalize your days. I love that each month is designated a different color and created by different artists, as well as the abundance of stickers that allow me to brighten up my pages on dull days. I love getting organized with this planner.” —Alaina K.
Get it from ban.do for $9.99 (originally $20; available in three styles).

A set of bag handles so you can carry grocery and shopping bags, plus dry-cleaning in one trip instead of five. The weight’ll be distributed evenly to keep your pinky fingers from literally snapping off.
Amazon
Promising review: “It usually takes me a dozen trips from my car to my house to get my groceries inside, and if I carry too many at once, the handles cut off the circulation in my hands and arms. These special handles solved all my problems. Today, I only made three trips from the car to the house! When I had to put the bags down to open the door, these handles laid on top of the bags and I only had to grab them, instead of searching for all the bag handles as they flopped around. Now there are no more bag marks on my wrist and my hands don’t go numb! Who would have thought that something so simple could make my life so much better?” —Rosemary Smith Dattler

Blue-light blocking glasses for reducing digital eye strain. If you sit in front of a computer for hours on end, then these are for you! They can leave your eyes feeling less dry and tired by filtering out short wavelength blue light emitted by screens.
@zennioptical via Instagram / Via instagram.com
I wear blue-light blocking glasses and absolutely love them. I was experiencing headaches nearly every day and my eyes felt so strained by the time I got home. Once I started wearing my glasses, I felt such a relief by the end of the first week. My eyes weren’t as tired and I didn’t feel as much pain. Now since I’ve been wearing them for months, I’ve experienced very few headaches and minimal eye irritation.

An automatic shutoff safety outlet to prevent the daily panic attack when you realize you might have left something on that *definitely* should have been turned off before you left the house. Like a curling or straightening iron, for instance.
Amazon
Controlled by a single button, you can set how long you want the plugged-in device to get power. You can choose from one, two, four, or eight hours. BTW, there’s also a nifty “hold” function if you decide you want something to stay on for longer than eight hours. Huzzah.
Promising review: “I have a really bad habit of forgetting to unplug my hair straightener, but this little guy saves the day! I can now keep it plugged in and set this for one hour, which is plenty of time for the straightener to heat up and for me to straighten my hair. It’s saved me a lot of stress.” —Tori Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
9.
A bracelet tool so you can fasten jewelry clasps quickly and efficiently without contorting your hand into a finger-numbing position.
Amazon
You can also use this little tool to help out with zipping dresses, fastening necklaces, and buttoning cuffs.
Promising review: “This bracelet tool is awesome! I bought one for myself and my mother. They work great for both of us. We both had trouble fumbling with our bracelets to put them on and off!!! Now it takes all of about five seconds. We both love them and use them all the time. Now I can wear my charm bracelet anytime I want. This tool is a great size and fits in your purse, too. Would highly recommend.” —westtexaskat
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $4.96.

A pet feeding reminder that’s both magnetic and sticky so you can mount it on whatever visible surface you have to accurately keep track of when exactly you last fed your beloved pet.
Amazon
This tool will come in handy for larger families with multiple people feeding pets. And the best part is that you no longer have to worry about overfeeding!
Promising review: “We used to run into issues where some people in the house wouldn’t know if someone else had fed the cats earlier that day, but this lets us keep track for everyone to know whether they’ve gotten their food for the day. It also stays nicely fastened to the wall with its adhesive and the toggles stay in place.” —Jeff Albertson
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors).

A seat-gap filler to keep change, credit cards, rings, and French fries from plummeting into the black hole that exists between your seat and the center console.
Brief a sigh of relief, these gap fillers stay firmly in place and surround the seatbelt catch so no area is left exposed.
Promising review: “Traveling a lot with kids means they sometimes drop a French fry down the seat. Dropping a multitude of things is inevitable, frustrating, and a bit gross. These are sort of a mushy, resilient gel foam with a neoprene cover. They fill the entire seat gap so that nothing can fall down the crack, absolutely nothing. The dark black color means that once they’re installed you just never notice them, and they stay in place with seat movement. You can pop them out in two seconds if you have to. Honestly, I can’t imagine a better design.” —DrBobMichigan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
12.
An anti-slip solution for anyone who’s constantly nagged by sliding glasses during a busy workday. These silicone grips are soft and flexible for everyday wear.
Amazon
Promising review: “My glasses were constantly slipping down my nose! No matter how tight my temple and hinges were adjusted, they would loosen and start to slip. In desperation I tried these! They work! I can now stand hours while teaching and do not need to push up my nose piece. I have had my glasses nearly slip off my nose during lab time, so these are a must for me. They do not put pressure behind your ears either.” —carla
Get five pairs from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors).

Balancing caps varying in size so you can screw them onto almost any bottle (like dressings, lotions, and soaps), store them upside down, and use every last drop to get your money’s worth.
Amazon
In the long run, these caps can maximize savings since you’ll no longer be throwing bottles out with residue inside. You can literally get every last drop out! Once one bottle is finished, you can remove the cap, wash it, and use again.
Promising review: “I haven’t had the item very long, but I’ve used them four times on four different bottle sizes with great success. I purchase a lot of large family-size products for the shower and have always hated trying to prop the bottles upside-down, then having gobs of shampoo, body wash, and lotion drip all over the place while removing the pump from the bottle. The various parts have fit with no issue on plastic bottles of varying sizes.” —labbyluvr
Get two from Amazon for $13.99.

amazon.com, Amazon
The cloth is super soft to prevent any scratches. Say hello to streak-free living.
Promising review: “I am very fussy about the cleaning fluid I allow to come in contact with my glasses and camera lenses. So after doing a lot of research and reading quite a few reviews of this product, I finally purchased it. This product works as it claims. It removes fingerprints, dust, dirt, and spatter. And has even proven itself to be safe for cleaning my camera filters. It does not streak or leave any residue. I would definitely recommend this product and vendor.” —DE
Get one cloth + a two-ounce bottle from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in larger sizes and as a travel kit).

Promising review: “These things are AWESOME!! I love the fact that you can lay them out however you want and still connect them. They are perfect for the so-called junk drawer — you can give all the odd stuff a home and have it organized. When my hubby asks for a pen, I tell him to open the junk drawer and they are on the far right in the long bin. He actually could find them easily without digging, it was great!” —Shelley R
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $11.24+ (available in a nine-pack).

A rubber jar opener that’ll provide a sturdy grip so you can actually open a sauce jar on the first try. Plus, there are no moving parts to break, so you can count on this opener to last you a longggg time.
Amazon
Promising review: “These work when nothing else does. I stole one from my mom 20 years ago when I moved out. I have used it numerous times for all these years, and it just gets better as it gets older. It will open anything, and makes my grip strong. I always wanted another one to keep in my RV. Then I found these — same product! Every home should have at least one.” —Dianne
Get it from Amazon for $1.59+ (also available as sets).

Clear silicone lids to keep leftovers fresh and easily identifiable while in your fridge. They’re stackable, stretchy, and microwave-safe so you can bring them to work without having to worry about spills.

Promising review: “Since purchasing the lids we’ve used them to cover mugs, glass Tupperware, and opened aluminum cans. We like that they make an airtight seal and cut down on the use of plastic wrap. So far they’ve covered openings shaped in circles and squares with a proper seal every time. They also come in a wide variety of sizes.” —Trying Minimalism
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two styles).

@lafreshgroup via Instagram
They’ll stop odor in its tracks, plus they’re biodegradable! Each is individually sealed so you can throw them in your bag hassle-free.
Promising review: “So far, these wipes have been awesome! I struggle to find any antiperspirant that actually works for me, so I was surprised that one little wipe kept me pretty dry and smelling just fine throughout the entire day. And if at the end of a day I get home and my pits are feeling a little ‘dewy,’ I just wipe once more and it wipes up the moisture/little bit of stink, and leaves me fresh again. Very impressed, and so glad I happened upon these!” —Rebecca Lillig
Get a pack of 50 wipes Amazon for $19.99.

A portable charger with built-in lightning cables to juice up your devices twice as fast as regular wall chargers, so you never again have to experience the dreaded low battery.
iPhone/iPad and android users, relax! This charger can charge both types at the same time. The indicator lights will let you know how much battery is left, plus the charger will shut off once the devices are fully juiced. Oh, did I mention there’s also a built-in flashlight?
Promising review: “I’ve had this charger in my bag for two years without a problem. It charges iPads and devices rapidly and is perfect if you are not wanting to be that person sitting on the floor next to the outlet. The cables solve the issue of carrying a battery plus a cord. Leave that cord at home, you don’t need it. How cool is it to be on a plane and just pull this out without having to wrangle that three-foot white cord? It’s pretty slick and worth the purchase. Very reliable and two years later, there’s been no drop off in performance.” —Robert Snow
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.

A 10-in-1 tool that’ll function as pliers, wire cutters, flat- and phillips-head screwdrivers, a bottle opener, a file, a hammer, and a mini-saw. AKA, when life decides to break something on you, you’ll be fully equipped to fix it.
Amazon, amazon.com
Each tool locks when it’s fully extended and will collapse down when you don’t need it. Plus, it’s tiny enough to keep on a keychain for fixes on-the-go.
Promising review: “I love this little gadget. It has already come in handy for several projects around the house. It’s lightweight but sturdy and good quality. The various tools are a little tough to pull out at first, but that’s no different from the typical army knife I’ve owned. It’s a great little tool.” —Dookoo4
Get it from Amazon for $16.28.
21.
Bobby pins in a compact case so you can stop diving into your black hole of a purse to find that single bobby pin you swore you threw in earlier.
The case has an easy open/close top.
Promising review: “I know some may say bobby pins are bobby pins, but I have to disagree when it comes to these. They are made from sturdy metal with large separated ends for easy opening. Not flimsy at all! The little container they come in is a great idea. How many times have you found bobby pins everywhere: in a drawer, at the bottom of your bag, etc.? This little container keeps them all neat and tidy, and it even encourages me to put them back in their container when I’m done using them.” —Susie
Get it from Amazon for $2.43 (75 bobby pins in total).
22.
Leather cable straps to wrangle the wire jungle that exists on your desk and in your bag. No more time wasted untangling headphones when you just want to listen to your favorite podcast.
Amazon
The straps work on any kind of charging cable, too.
Promising review: “It’s such a simple idea, but effective. I have no idea why this didn’t come out decades ago. Anyway, the small ones work great for earbud cords and the large ones for USB cords and chargers. The snaps are actually steel, which is better in my opinion. The leather is soft and flexible. I prefer these over all other cord keepers I’ve ever owned.” —Mitch10
Get ten from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

Promising review: “It looks awesome in my entryway. I have received many compliments on it and people can never believe it’s from Amazon. I love the multiple key hooks, and the mail slot holds a LOT of items!” —Elaine
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three colors).

A key cover so those with multiple sets can easily identify which is which without having to fumble around.
amazon.com, Amazon
These covers fit on most keys.
Promising review: “I had bought a different key holder, but it turned out to be too big for my key, so I purchased this one. It arrived quickly, looks exactly like the picture, and is sturdy. Even more importantly, it fits my key perfectly! I would recommend putting it directly on a key ring because the chain it comes with isn’t the strongest.” —Faye Honig
Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in 20 animals).
25.
A mini steamer that’ll heat up in under two minutes so you never leave the house a wrinkled mess. This little gadget will disperse steam evenly and shut off when the water stock is low.

Promising review: “What I love most about this little steamer is how quickly it heats up! It’s very easy to use and incredibly compact. This is a dream to travel with and incredibly portable. I’ve experienced no leaks while using and the high heat steam allows for an even press with no unsightly leftover residue like some other steamers. Very satisfied with this product at a very competitive price — highly recommend!” —Madeline R.

An eyeliner stamp, because spending time in front of the mirror trying to perfectly match your wings is so darn frustrating. Those with shaky hands can finally get the sharp edge they’re looking for — this stamp will provide equal wings each and every time.
amazon.com, Amazon
One side of the pen is the stamp while the other is a regular eyeliner pen. Plus you can feel confident through the day; the stamp is waterproof and smudge-proof.
Promising review: “I’m a makeup junkie and extremely picky with products. I don’t actually have any issues with winged liner, but I’ve been dealing with some shaking issues so thought this might make my routine easier. Not a lot of trial and error, it’s very simple to use, and creates a lovely and slightly curved wing. Now about the formula, I’m impressed. I was thinking that I could always go over it with my regular eyeliner, but I found that unnecessary. The liner pen tip didn’t drag or skip; it’s a very bold and solid black that dries quickly and has amazing staying power.” —SaintLee

BuzzFeed Reviews
The cloth is microfiber, so it’ll be super gentle on your face and super effective. You can wash and reuse it, so just imagine how much money you’re gonna save on packaged wipes! Plus it works on all skin types.
Promising review: “I purchased this based on some positive reviews, and they can’t even touch how amazing this product is. This product seriously does what it says — it erases makeup! I could not believe the way it removed my makeup the first time I used it! You use it for a week, toss it in the wash, and use it again. I was wondering how it would clean up in the laundry, and it looked brand new — no mascara was left after it went through the wash. It is amazing and if you’re considering purchasing it — do it! No more chemicals to remove that makeup!” —StaceyB

Amazon
Don’t worry about battery life (it uses AAA btw), the light switches off after a few moments.
Promising review: “I bought this for my wife, hoping that she’d like it. Oh my goodness, it has gone from bag to bag to bag and is ALWAYS with her. It’s just so easy to use as there are no switches to worry about. You just put your hand inside the bag to look for something, the light comes on, then once your hand is out of the bag, it turns off after a few seconds. So simple! I have bought several other since then as gifts and they are universally well liked by everyone who gets them. Fabulous product.” —OJBRIT

A brush with soft, flexible bristles that’ll get knots out of wet or dry hair without ripping puffs out, so your styling time won’t be a painful experience. It’ll also work on all hair types, no matter how thin or thick.
Promising review: “This brush has been a miracle for my daughter and me. With her very long, straight, and fine hair we were always struggling with knots, tangles, etc. She has a sensitive scalp too, so all that pulling was painful. The longer her hair got, the more knots appeared. I’ve bought so many different brushes to try to address this issue, not to mention detangler sprays and treatments, but her hair just seemed to be getting worse. A family member happened to use their Wet Brush on my daughter’s hair, and voila! It’s like her hair magically became manageable, finally! Now, there is no pulling, no more knots, and her hair even appears shinier. I’m blown away at what this simple brush can do.” —Skylamor

Promising review: “This product is AMAZING. We live in a studio apartment with a small kitchenette and our sink likes to spray everywhere.

This product not only is fantastic at scrapping food off of our plates (so it doesn’t go down the drain), it helps to squeegee the countertop when water has sprayed everywhere! I also take it into the bathroom and squeegee the countertop when I’ve made too big of a mess getting ready!” —Elizabeth

Amazon
Promising review: “I was intrigued by these so I bought them thinking I could find SOME use for them and discovered I can use them for quite a few things. They bind and hold quite well. They DO have a tendency to attach to each other, but that just means they stay together nicely. I especially like them to bind cords when I travel — they are easier than Velcro strips and don’t break like rubber bands.” —K. Becker

Food52
Promising review: “I have been using this product since October 2017 and can’t say enough good things. It keeps food fresh and has a good seal. It’s important to take the strap off when washing to ensure there is no food left behind. It can be a little tricky to get back on but its worth it for a good seal. I always hand wash the lid and strap. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality lunch bowl for daily use. I’ve even given them out as gifts and plan on buying another.” —Natalie

Promising review: “I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I’ve always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I’d been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some ‘homework’ pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals. It has helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus, so I’m not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day.” —Flight of Stars

One is a perfect size for my KitchenAid mixer bowl. I use the small one when I want to keep my coffee warm, too. Very versatile, and I have had zero problems with them.
