From cooking and cleaning to entertaining your kids and crafting the *ideal skincare routine – these products are ready to take on any challenge. Seriously, Sweatblock is *begging* for you to test it out in that brutal 99-degree heat. Game on.

I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor.

As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!

Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

As you can see above, I have big frames, and they're a curious shape, so finding sunglasses that fit over them was a big win! The sunglasses have a slightly elongated lip on the upper half, helping them snuggly balance over any shape of glasses. I wore these to Disneyland, and I was able to wear them over my frames while on rides, and they stayed on! I can't recommend these enough. My husband (who wears thick square glasses) has stolen these from me, which is the biggest 5-star review I can imagine. The man is picky. 

Promising review: "These are great! They cover my glasses well, and you can’t see my glasses through the lenses. The polarized lenses make colors pop while reducing the sun's brightness." —Leigh Manuel

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles).

Depending on the speed, you can get up to 16 hours of run time.

Promising review: "This is a lightweight fan that produces a strong breeze. Even if it's just moving hot air, at least it helps keep you cool. It was nearly 90 degrees the day that I used it, and it lasted for at least 9 hours. Highly recommended for theme parks or other locations where there's little shade and lots of heat!" —Blondegrandma

Get it from Amazon for $26.85+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helen

 Promising review: "OMG, this is a must-have. I can't believe it took me this long to get a Zojirushi. We use it almost daily for steel-cut oats, for which it is perfect. We've also started really getting into bowls for dinner, so we use them 2–3 times a week to make barley, millet, basmati brown rice with saffron, or quinoa. We've mostly used the porridge, brown rice, regular, and occasionally quick settings, but we might play with more. The bowl has a great non-stick coating. I can't recommend it enough." —Mira Krishnan

Get it from Amazon for $228+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase them for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and it's pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slightly sticky residue, but I think it's overall amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glowed and felt smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother, and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in four other styles).

I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I'm just as big a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family's needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages — so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces in the park. I can't think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. And most important: my daughter *adores* it. She laughs, cheers, and giggles the whole ride (plus the cup tray attachment means she can snack on her own while we're on the move). This wagon is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm a parent in 2024. Parenting products have come a *long* way!

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

This is the most important piece of skincare in my life. It's so small and lightweight that I treat it like ChapStick — I have one in my medicine cabinet *and* in every one of my bags. Which is a great thing, since sunscreen is such a crucial part of our skincare routine. This makes it easy to reapply regularly. There's no mess or product to smooth out; it just gives your face a dewy, hydrated glow. AND that's the other reason this is my #1 — it's the best moisturizer. I can't believe how hydrated my skin feels when I use this, and I'm always delighted by how good it looks. Seriously, this is top-tier makeup, sun care, and moisturizer all in one.

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

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, the same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack, so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim, but I never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in two other shades and in two-packs). 

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising reviews: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it were bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 11 shades, in packs of 2 and 3, and in a jumbo size). 

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt, and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado, and did a ton of walking, and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air-dry several times over the next year, and they came out great each time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them, so I can still look cute and be comfortable, and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins

Get them from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in five styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 

The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has only praise for this product. Check out her Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener review to learn more.

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

Promising review: "This eye cream makes my eyes so soft, it has this luxurious feel that is better than any high-end product I have tried, and for the cost? This stuff is unbelievable. I tried Ogee and all sorts of products that people swear by, but this one keeps my eyes hydrated and soft all night and lasts until the next day. It also isn’t greasy, which I love. Since it has retinal, I only put it on at night and use a vitamin C serum in the morning. I love this product! You can feel and see a difference after one use." —AJ

Promising review: "This is the best! I have a very heavy 7-quart mixer that I can no longer lift. I also did not have room to leave it on my kitchen counter. This one is smaller, lighter weight, and does not take up much counter space. The mixer runs very quietly but still delivers enough power to mix my usual muffin, cake, and bread recipes. The attachments are smaller to accommodate the smaller bowl. Overall, I am very happy with the size and performance of this mixer!" —Lynn4591

Get it from Amazon for $349.99+(available in seven colors).

Promising review: "My skin is on the oilier side, and this product saved my life, especially on camera. It is flawless, reduces shine, and doesn't make you look splotchy. It goes on flawlessly on top of my other products and feels so light. 100000/10. I've used so many powders, and this product makes your skin look airbrushed in real life." —Marissa Pizzuto

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 14 shades).

Promising review: "LOVE! So easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly." —Catie B.

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors).

Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be of good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin

"This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through multiple flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —Francia

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets).

Promising reviews: "My mother’s group recommended this stain-removing spray. I was dumb enough to put my 6-month-old in a white bib while he enjoyed some frozen berry teethers. This came to the rescue (pictured above)!" —L

"I never write reviews, but this stuff is absolutely amazing! I keep this in the laundry basket and spray as stains happen, and even white clothes come out perfectly clean each time! I mostly use it for baby poop, but it’s also worked on food and coffee stains for my husband and me. Seriously, a lifesaver!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in multiple pack styles).

I work from home, which means I *also* work from pajamas. This wasn't always the case. I used to love to get dressed for the day. And THEN I put these on... and refuse to take them off. I got them right as it started to get too warm in my house. I sleep hot and generally have a hard time falling asleep. After getting these, I started noticing myself totally disregarding my sweats-and-oversized-shirt system. It was when I pulled these out of the dirty laundry because I refused to sleep without them that I knew I'd REALLY found something special. They are as soft and cooling as you wish all pajamas were. These are the only pair I've had that live up to that hype. I can't recommend them enough.

Promising reviews: (for the pants) "These are the most comfortable pants I have found to sleep in! They keep my temperature even throughout the night and don't bunch up. I will be back for more colors!" —Claire

(for the crop top) "This tee is so comfortable! I haven't sweated in my sleep while wearing it yet! It also doesn't ride up, which I was afraid of." —Amanda

Get the pants for $125 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and four colors) and the tee for $98 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and four colors), both from Arid Blayne.

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." —La Bella Vita Finds

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smell out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was wary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, and the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks, and my dishes come out crystal clear after." —Courtney E. Delong

Promising review: "Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often, so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting, and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and added an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." —akkeber

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in two other pack sizes).

Promising review: "I bought three for a Disney trip. They were perfect. I walked over 30 miles with no 'chub rub.' I was looking for something specifically with a four-inch inseam, and these delivered. My biggest issue is shorts riding up and, in turn, causing me to constantly pull them down. I had no issues with these! They are super comfortable and very cute. True to size. The pockets are a lifesaver for carrying your phone. Would absolutely recommend for long-distance walking." —Ash

Get it from Amazon for $19.78 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors).

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 $26.72+ (available in six styles and four colors).

This stuff has some bite! If you experience a tingling sensation, that's totally normal. You're getting sparkly clean (I know from experience).

Promising review: "I have never had a toothpaste make my teeth slay this hard. They’re SO white. I was upset because I had been through so many teeth whitening treatments, and yet my teeth were still yellow and felt stained. It’s been a few days, and my teeth already look at least seven shades lighter. There are so many toothpastes that say 'whitening' and don’t do the job, but this one ACTUALLY whitens, which feels like a rare find. It’s also minty, and my mouth feels super fresh every time I use it. If you’re tired of having yellow teeth, this toothpaste is going to do its job and blow you away!! Never going back to any other toothpaste, I am too in love with these results." —Alexis Myer

This set includes blocks with 21 different designs. It's recommended for children 3+.

Promising review: "My daughter has these in her classroom, so she was asking for them for Christmas. Great purchase. The case makes it easy for us to take it anywhere. The magnets are strong and easy to build with." —Nicole R.

Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here.

Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank-you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, lasts forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." —Kristi Rosengreen

Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 for a two-pack (available in multiple pack styles and in three scents).

I bought this after seeing it in a coworker's BuzzFeed article (you better believe I trust a BF review!) aaand it is witchcraft. I recommended it to my grandmother after using it. You don't know Nene, but if you did, you'd know recommending a kitchen tool to the *elite* chef in my family is a BIG deal. I bought it as a time-saver. I tossed an entire boiled chicken breast into this thing, twisted it twice, and it was perfectly shredded. I recommended it because I think it's a massively useful tool for folks with limited mobility or frustrating arthritis. This one's worth the cupboard space, folks! 

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of those 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I had taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter, and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie K Voss

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 11 colors).

Be sure to check out the different cards and adventure jackets available! 

I bought a singing Glinda doll when my daughter was 18 months old, and she hasn't let the doll stop for an entire year, so I thought there was no need to buy another sound-based toy. But *then* my kid discovered K-Pop Demon Hunters, and alas, my Spotify Wrapped will show exclusively replays of "Golden" for the next year. After taking over my phone, my husband's phone, and our speakers for months, we jumped at the chance to get her this the minute their K-pop card was available. And we love it! This thing is so unnecessarily aesthetic. The little screen on the front displays a pixelated image that corresponds with whatever is playing, so even though it doesn't feel like screen time, my kid gets excited every time Rumi, Jinu, and Derpy appear. I love that she can control it on her own, and so does she! The carrying case is brilliant and beautifully designed. PLUS, this can also be used as a clock and night-light, and has an "OK-to-wake" setting. Spiffy.

Promising review: "I can’t rave about this enough! The Yoto has been a huge win in our home. Our son wasn’t a huge fan of the Tonie Box, so I was a bit worried he wouldn’t use the Yoto. I was SO wrong. He listens to the Yoto Daily podcast almost every day and has become a fun morning activity in our home. It’s pretty easy to use once you figure out what each button does. My son has no issue using it at four years old. It’s come in handy when traveling, as it's very easy to bring along on the go. If you are on the fence, do it! My son’s screen time has decreased drastically since we got the Yoto. It has also really helped him play more independently in his room." —MacKenzie Blackman

Promising review: "I started using this Korean skincare product with blemishes, acne, dark spots, and overall tired‑looking skin. On day one, my skin looked dull and uneven. After one month, I can clearly see a difference — my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even‑toned. Some of my dark spots have lightened, and my breakouts have calmed down a lot. It’s not a dramatic overnight change, but it’s definitely real, steady improvement, and I’m excited to keep going." —chelo

Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage.

Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD, and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never-ending battle. I typed in 'minimize bras,' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and keeps me dry! I have bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in multiple pack sizes).

This 75-piece set includes 42 tracks and connectors, 17 trick pieces, and 15 marbles. The pieces are magnetic, so you can set this up on any magnetic surface. The lockers in your mud room are about to make that place THE hangout spot in your house.

Promising review: "I can't explain to you how cool this is. Once you have it assembled in the way that you want (there is a learning curve), you will be able to swap out different sections and change up the route. You can create several routes that the marble can go through. If you're going to put magnets on your fridge, it might as well be cool ones that move marbles up and down and around." —Kris Redick

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two set sizes).

The set has a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

The video above is me doing my darndest to find something this cookware can't do by *caramelizing heavy cream* aaand guess what? It was flawless! These refuse to let anything stick to them or gunk them up. I use them heavily, every single day, and they continue to outdo themselves. Also, the storage system deserves its own highlight. I have nearly no counter space, and these pans aren't small, but the clever cubby/hanging canvas pot holder makes it possible to tuck this entire set into a teeny tiny corner beside my stove. I'm not a good enough person to deserve this kitchen set. I really, really recommend it.

Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean, and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter-friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $445+ (available in eight colors and multiple set sizes).

I own this! I got it after finding it in a BuzzFeed article (yeah, they get me too), and it quickly became a necessity in my skincare routine. I tend to not wear makeup, so anything I put on my skin, even for aesthetic, has to have a purpose. I also need the simplest skincare system possible, or I won't do it, which has made this multi-use balm a real gift in my life! It feels so, so good and leaves my skin looking fresh. 

Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after-feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me and will def try the others!" —Kristy

BTW locals, TofuBud is a small biz based in San Francisco!

Promising review: "I was resistant to getting a tofu press. Another kitchen gadget! But this little guy does not disappoint. It saves time and is clean, fast, and easy. I thought I would want something made of wood or metal — but really, this is just the thing. It’s cute, rinses out licketty split, and gets the job done without messing up towels or boiling off extra water. My countertop stays clean. I’ve been a vegetarian all my life and this little gadget is already indispensable." —Maria Lewis

Get it from TofuBud for $26.50 or Amazon for $21.

Promising review: "Honestly, buy it. I was skeptical about this serum, especially since it’s such a large bottle for so cheap, plus this was a leap of faith for me since I do have sensitive skin. I’ve been using this religiously for over a week now, and even after the first day, I could see and feel the improvement in my skin. I went from having small red breakouts to clear, even skin almost overnight. I’m not even wearing makeup now because I love the look and glow my skin has. I don’t even do reviews, but this product deserves it 100%. I will be purchasing again. BUY IT!" —Boogs

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring at the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "If you can get over the ick factor of snail mucin, it is deeply hydrating and helps with hyperpigmentation and acne. Calms inflammation and redness. If you’re having flaky, dry skin from eczema or reactions to retinol, use this to help repair your skin barrier and keep your skin supple. It is a gentle occlusive and seals in moisture. Everyone’s skin is different. What works for me may not work for you. But I swear by the essence to help my reactive skin, repair the skin barrier, and help with my eczema. I will use it forever." —Connie

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Gabby Manjarrez is a fan — check out her Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence review to learn more!

Promising review: "I’ve been using this collagen cream for a few weeks now, and wow — my face has never felt this hydrated! The texture is rich but not heavy, and it sinks into the skin beautifully without leaving any greasy residue. Perfect for both day and night. I have combination skin, and this cream somehow manages to hydrate the dry areas while keeping the oily zones balanced. My skin looks more plump and smooth, and I’ve even noticed a subtle glow in the mornings — like I actually got a full night’s sleep! The collagen boost feels like it’s doing real work — my face feels firmer, and those fine lines around my mouth and forehead are looking softer already. It also layers really well under makeup, which is a huge plus." —Amazon Customer

Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy.

Promising review: "My 2-year-old daughter has curly frizzy hair. And I have tried sooo many leave-in conditioners to define her hair. Nothing thus far has worked. But this stuff is amazing! Truly defines her curls without any hold or crunch. Soft, bouncy curls. The smell is quite strong, but it does smell good. If you are sensitive to smells, you might want to prepare yourself ahead of time for this. I will buy this again and again. So glad I found something that works for my toddler's curls." —mike

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two sizes).

Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).

Promising review: "I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl, and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now." —Eric Phan

I have a Tendril planter, and I *love* it. My husband is a big plant person. I am very good at appreciating them... and terrible at caring for them. If it weren't for this planter, our Calathea would not survive his weekend work trips. The most satisfying thing about this planter is that the design is both aesthetic and functional — the top sinks into the bottom as the water absorbs, both allowing the plants to drink when they need *and* letting you (ahem, me) know when it needs to be refilled. There's even a water level indicator with a poem from your plant's POV. Cute.

Promising review: "I bought this because I was looking for an effective insect repellent for my patio this spring/summer. I didn't want a bulky candle or tiki torch that smelled like citronella oil. I found the Thermacell. It looked modern and promising. We tried it and it works really well. It also produces no smell or sound. We live in the South, where mosquitoes are really awful, and the Thermacell made sitting on our patio tolerable! Definitely recommend." —Trusted Customer

Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl, and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cat's meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" —Mike

Promising review: "I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It’s wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can’t go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." —Shrekira

Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida, and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

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 chosen product to style it row by row, and it gives me bouncy curls that help cover more scalp while separating effectively. It's extremely sturdy. I break brushes all the time, and this one lasts!!!" —Janay K

Promising reviews: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing, going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich in oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent, for me anyway, is like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." —Dragonheart Jo

"I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." —Samantha
