We hope you love our recommendations!

You can read more about how our affiliate partnerships work in our Editorial Standards & Ethics Guide. Turns out awards season isn't over quite yet. We cover tons of amazing products here at BuzzFeed Shopping, but some of them stand apart from the pack for feeling like pretty life-changing purchases. We're talking foot masks that'll reveal ~baby soft~ feet, packing cubes that'll level up your travel game, and the best AirPods that Apple has made yet. This is by no means an extensive list, but it is filled with products I gaurantee you won't regret adding to cart. Listen, I always thought packing cubes were a waste of time, until I discovered the magic of *compression* packing cubes — and now I don't know how I ever traveled without them. As long as I didn't wildly overstuff these, the compression zipper was easy to close (though it does take a bit of elbow grease), and helped squeeze my clothes together so there was zero wasted space. I was able to fit many more shirts than usual, and having everything neatly organized in its own cube made getting dressed on my week-long vacation a breeze. The only downside? You do have to meticulously re-pack everything in the cubes the same way you did for your return trip, but that's a small price to pay for extra space and organization. Get a set of six from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 21 colors and also in packs of two and four). Here's what one of our BuzzFeed Shopping writers, Emma Lord, has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Promising review: "This thing is INCREDIBLE! I used to bug out about the couch and rug in the living room being fuzzy every single day. Cleaning it used to be a nightmare, daily. Going from lint rollers and scrapers to this lovely device has made a night and day difference. It is so effective, I find it hard to believe my eyes. Cleaning my living room takes literally a few seconds daily and 1 to 2 minutes if every few days. Buy it!" —VoidofSalads Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "After using this product for the past three weeks, I cannot rave about it ENOUGH! I have super dry, acne-prone, eczema-prone skin, so finding something is difficult. I also love wearing natural full-beat looks so I need something that provides hydration but doesn’t peel under my makeup. I also love, love a glowy base that I can just wear no makeup. I have tried so many products and have never been able to find something that works. Now THIS is gorgeous!! I’m pretty tan, and the tint that this provides is very pretty; it’s super dewy and provides so much hydration. I have layered with many products and have never noticed any pilling or problems. I highly, highly recommend!" —Kiaradriana Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I bought this rinser cup after struggling with my toddler’s bath time, especially when it came to rinsing out shampoo. The design is incredibly user-friendly — its shape helps control the water flow, preventing any excess water from getting into my child’s eyes. My little one has become much more comfortable during rinsing sessions, which has made bath time much more enjoyable for both of us." —Chi Hoang Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine." —JAcosta Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). I personally LOVE the AirPods 4 and think they're 100% worth the splurge — check out my full review here. Promising review: "These headphones are an excellent purchase. The sound quality is clear, balanced, and powerful, with great bass and crisp highs. They connect quickly and easily, and the Bluetooth connection is very stable. The battery life is impressive and lasts throughout the day with regular use. They are lightweight, comfortable to wear, and fit perfectly in my ears, even after long periods of use. The microphone quality is also very good for calls. Overall, the design is sleek and modern, and the performance exceeds expectations. I highly recommend these headphones and would definitely buy them again." —YuneysisM Get it from Best Buy for $99 (also available in a noise-cancelling version for $149.99). Promising review: "Love, love, love these!!! I have a lot of medications that I have to travel with, and some of them are very expensive or very important, and I get so worried I will lose some. These hold so many pills and have labels for each, and they are so easy to open and fill, but they also stay closed and seal well!" —Britney Get a pack of four from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." —Marisa Get it from Amazon for $28.50 (available in three sizes, four colors, and two styles). BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Promising review: "My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It’s REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don’t need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it’s totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I’ve recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." —Mostly Maven Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" —Julia "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 for a pack of four (available in six color packs and also in packs of two and eight) Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack). Read more about essential oils and morning sickness at Mayo Clinic, peppermint oil and nausea in one small study at the National Library of Medicine, and aromatherapy at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I'd reach for it. I'm sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of four). Promising review: "This works incredibly well. After trying other oil spray containers that were disappointing, it was great to find this one. It has worked perfectly for cooking, spraying easily and predictably, and the option to pour makes this my go-to vessel for cooking oil. I'm looking forward to never buying aerosol spray oils again." —Geoff M. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in nine colors and in sets of two). Promising review: "Ever since I got this journal, I’ve been loving it as a part of my everyday routine!" —KendallNC Get it from Urban Outfitters for $30 (available in two styles). Oh, and there's even a spot where you can keep track of all the books you want to read next, which I'm sure you'll fill very quickly. Promising review: "Such a great journal! Has wonderful review pages with enough space to really get your thoughts about your reads down. I've only this year started keeping a reading journal, wanting to document all the books I read or listen to throughout the year. Looking for one that has enough space for my thoughts and notes while reading, as well as listing characters, was difficult, but Rifle Paper Co. clearly knew what readers want. I highly recommend this journal. It's wonderful quality!" —Amy Get it from Rifle Paper Co. (available in two designs) or Amazon for $34. Promising review: "This product is awesome!!! I have been using it for a couple of months for acne scars and I have seen a huge reduction in scarring, depth of scars, and redness/color of scarring. My skin is smoother, the color is much more even, my skin never breaks out anymore, and the scars that I still have aren't really noticeable. I use it a.m. and p.m. I had given up that anything would help my acne scars. I have tried tons of products. This product is amazing!!!" —bkm61 Promising review: "Hate dragging out the old hotel iron and board, so I just spray my wrinkled clothes with this, and viola! Takes the wrinkles out, and off I go — no wrestling while putting the iron and board away. I even have a small travel iron or use my hair styling irons if I want a better finish, but this usually does the job nicely." —Audie 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! Promising review: "I never had acne when I was younger, I got acne when I was in my twenties, and I have no self-control to not pop and pick them. My skin takes forever to heal, like 2–3 weeks of a scab because I pick it all the time. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGING. They hydrate and heal my scabs in 2–3 DAYS. They pull gunk out, even if I pop a zit and wash my face, but these on, it’ll continue pulling the rest of the stuff out. Truly I’m in love with these. When I first heard of acne patches, I thought, 'I’ll never pay money to make a zit go away,' but these are affordable and effective. I went through the 36 in less than a week because I had some scabs to heal that took a majority of my patches, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to heal their face faster. I also used this on a zit on my bum, and it’s healed that one quick for me too!!" —chipper2 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! Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of 24 and 72). Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It’s been less than 36 hours and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in a pack of 30). Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). This is designed to fit most 16-ounce ice cream pints. Promising review: "How convenient, keeps the ice cream cold and my hands from getting sticky. And it’s cute too!" —S See Work Design is a small Etsy shop specializing in 3D-printed goods. Get from See Work Design on Etsy for $17.76+ (available in nine colors). Promising review: "Embarrassingly gross. Never had any idea what I’d pull off my tongue each morning… I’ll save you the details – but surprised it took me into my mid-40s to discover. Every human who brushes their teeth needs one… has already helped on breath." —L. Utton See a TikTok review of the shaver here! For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly Promising reviews: "I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair, and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month, and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." —In the know "GET THIS OIL!!! I CANNOT express enough how amazing this product is!!! I have very fair, sensitive skin, and prior to using this oil, I would get the worst razor burn. My coworker told me to buy it (that's when you know it's bad when your coworker gives you advice after seeing your razor-burnt armpits) because she uses it and was exclaiming about it. Now I only get razor burn in the worst spots every once in a while, but put it on the next day too, and they're gone. Works the best with ingrown hairs too!! Anytime you have one, you just have to do enough to cover the area — a little goes a long way!! — and the nastiest ingrown can be gone the next day. Now I have to use it immediately after drying off after shaving." —Emily Fur is a small business specializing in post-hair-removal products. Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game changer. I’m a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MT Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products. Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes). Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" —TheWalkFam Check out a TikTok of the Edgelift Curl Brush in action. Promising review: "Best brush hands-down, I am a mixed girl with thick curly hair, and when I run this brush through my hair wet, it does magic. My curls after using this in the shower to detangle are amazing, then I use my choice of product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp but separate effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K Bounce Curl is a small business that specializes in curl brushes. Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in three colors). Promising review: "I honestly bought this for my pan lids, and it works great and stores all sizes. Now I'm going back to buy one for my plates. Hahaha. Highly recommend this item, it's solid, but light, and holds six pan lids." —Claire This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" —May Get it from Amazon for $5.34 (also available in a bundle with a scrubber sponge). The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe! Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in seven styles and four colors). 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. 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." Promising review: "My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. The stains were 2–3 days old, too. I sprayed the shirt, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then washed the shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!" —Sloan Avery Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three sizes and multipacks). Psst — parents really love this as a "calm down" moment for their kiddos! Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like [that] it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light." —RgHound Prefer briefs? Check out this similar seamless design with rave reviews! Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every “seamless” thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren’t that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don’t hold sweat. They don’t roll. They don’t move around. I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I’ve washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They’re wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I’ve ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they’re my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don’t exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It’s sorcery, I’m convinced." —Ebony Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X and nine color packs). It's suitable for all hair types! Reviewers with everything from straight, fine hair to thick, curly hair said it worked for them. According to the brand, this was the top-selling hair serum in Korea from Nielsen sales data collection from 2012–2022. Promising review: "I love how my hair feels when I apply this serum. It feels soft and manageable and the best thing is, no matter how many times I reapply, it never feels heavy or greasy. Not sure how it achieves this magic, but it is great for when you want shine and softness on an easy hair day or protection on a heat day too." —Lorraine Shin Yoo Check out a TikTok of the acne-banishing body spray in action. Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in bundles). Just be sure your devices support wireless charging! Promising review: "I love this charging station! I‘m one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game-changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now, there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds), and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in seven colors). Promising review: "I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect – true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don’t dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." —Tzippy M Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors). It's designed to last for up to six weeks. Promising review: "I used this product years ago and had the most amazing skin, but I assumed it was mostly genetics. Now that my skin is showing signs of aging, I decided to give it another try — and I’m so glad I did. My skin is transforming daily. They say your skin can rebuild itself, and it really does — especially when you remove the buildup of dead skin cells. I’ve been using it morning and night, and I genuinely look younger. My skin feels polished, my pores are noticeably smaller, and I need much less makeup. Such a fantastic product — highly recommend!" —Sweet Caroline Promising review: "I love the overall quality and the way it turned my overly dry skin around my finger nails to soft and healthy looking in just two applications. I saw results after first application but after the second one it was like I never had the issue. The size is adequate as you only need a small amount and very easy to apply. Once applied, it soaks in quickly and feels lightweight. The scent isn’t offensive or too strong." —Dmlyle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and two packs). Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." —Diane J. Huff "This shampoo is like NOTHING I've ever tried in the past. The way my 4C hair comes out after using this is INCREDIBLE. Soft, easy to comb, and super manageable. I've been using it for two years!" —Jae Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in three scents and four sizes). Darn Tough has tons of styles made with their Merino wool blend. Oh, and they offer a lifetime warranty!
