Did you know you can fade dark dark circles for, like, six bucks?

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

Reviewers are also super impressed by how fast it works! 

Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. 

Promising review: "This cream has tightened the skin around my neck beyond my expectations. I’ve been using it daily (morning and evening) for over two months and still have product left. I’ve even tried it on my face, and it gives me a bit of a 'face lift.' I’m officially a Bond girl. A bit sticky to the touch after a few hours of wear, but that doesn’t bother me. Will order again." —AP Wang

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

Promising review: "My portable AC unit had gaps between the plastic piece where it mounts on my window. I tried tape but found it had no effect. I tried this tape, it lowered my room temperature by 5 degrees. Worth it!" —Tai T.

Check out a TikTok of the seamless underwear in action. 

Promising review: "These are my new favorite. They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria’s Secret underwear for many years spending unnecessary money. I’ll repurchase these over and over again." —Joshua

Psst — if you're looking for a thong option, reviewers are obsessed with these Skims-inspired thongs that are also on Amazon!

Reviewers mention this has worked on fine straight hair, thick wavy hair, and curls. 

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 

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

Promising reviews: "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." —Monica T. 

"I have eye hollowness from using eyelash serums, so that has caused dark circles under my eyes. I'm also getting older and have a lot of fine lines. This is the only thing that has helped with both of those issues. It's so easy to apply and a little goes a long way. It doesn't settle into my creases and helps to moisturize my under eyes. There is a ton of product for the price, and I would actually pay more for it if they ever increased their prices. It's super lightweight and wears just fine throughout the day. I will repurchase again and again..." —Taylor L. 

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

Promising reviews: "I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I’ve only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I’ve bought several eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I’ve seen using this product." —Natalie

"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I’ve always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn’t completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn’t feel cakey or like there’s a ton of product on." —K. Grant 

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in a pack of two and three). 

Promising reviews: "After moving into a house owned by older adults, a lot was neglected. Feeling overwhelmed by the hard water left in our shower, I avoided it for months. After watching TikTok, I found this product recommendation, and MY GOD did it change my life. It is SUPER messy, so wear gloves, and it’s easiest to squeeze on a paper towel, apply, and then scrub with a wool scrub after. But once you figure out the flow, boy, does it work!!!" —Alicia

"Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).

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

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a two-pack). 

If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic.

For this, instead of a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting at 5 minutes at a time, with a 1- to 3-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

Reviewers with 2a-4c hair mention it worked for them! 

Promising reviews: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

"My baby has curly hair, and since the texture is a lot different than mine, I have been trying out different products for her hair. I saw this one on TikTok and decided to give it a try. It is slowly becoming one of my go-to products for her! It does not leave the hair crunchy at all, and it moisturizes her curls nicely. Also smells good!" —Heather 

Get it from Amazon for $4.22 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I love this whitening pen!!! It’s super easy to use, doesn’t leave a bad taste in your mouth, and actually works. It also doesn't make my teeth sensitive or irritate my gums. Plus it’s super affordable?!I use it on my top teeth. I have always had stains and nothing seems to help them. But this pen lightened the stains significantly!! This is definitely an easy to use must-have!" —Hannah

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in packs of four or individually). 

And because the device uses no chemicals or pesticides, it's kid and pet friendly. 

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 a device and two glue cards from Amazon for $14.97 (also available in larger packs, another style, and refills alone). 

This product’s packaging says to avoid using it around open food, so keep your chip bags closed and hot dogs covered while you hang out. But it should be fine to pull out a hot dog and a handful of chips if you’re going to eat them right away. Read more about the low dosages of pesticides in products like this at the American Mosquito Control Association.

Promising review: "I was very skeptical of this product but decided to give it a try after reading the reviews and knowing if it didn't work I could return it. Let me preface this review by saying I live a few miles from a swamp in south Louisiana. 

"I know it says wait 15 minutes to give it time to work, but I wanted to make sure mosquitoes were swarming to test it effectively. So I camped out in my favorite chair and was immediately swarmed by mosquitoes. I started the unit, and in about 15 minutes there wasn't a mosquito near me! No exaggeration. I am sitting outside as night is falling in south Louisiana and not one mosquito is buzzing me. I have been out here just over an hour and I have only two bites – one bite was from when I first sat down and before the unit was on 15 minutes. I am seriously impressed with this product and I am ordering more for gifts and to expand my own coverage as soon as I am done with this review. And there is no stinky citronella smell. There is no odor at all. Amazing." —NolaMom

Get it from Amazon for $16.19+ (available in six colors and in a two-pack).

Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to explode (been there, cleaned the Panera butter packet out of that).

Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff. Worth the price." —Grace Vuluvala

Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).

Promising reviews: "Obsessed. I bought this specifically for my hands. Sun exposure has prematurely aged them. Medix retinol cream is amazing! I saw a difference within a few days. I’m hooked!" —Valerie

"INCREDIBLE BEAUTY PRODUCT!! Works like magic! I am 66 years old, and after using this moisturizer for only 4 days, I have not needed to use foundation. This Medix retinol cream is a serious game changer!" —Nancy C. Trussell

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available fragrance-free, in two- and three-packs, and seven other formulas). 

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 

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

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in band sizes 28–48, cup sizes B–I, and 15 colors). 

To use, squeeze 5–10 ear drops in each ear then flush with water using the provided bulb syringe. Lots of reviewers suggest letting the drops soak in your ears at a 90-degree angle for up to 30 minutes for best results. 

Promising review: "All that was inside my ears…. oh my god. I feel like a new man. I had a hard time hearing and really bad ringing in my ears forever, but flushing my ears out with these drops revealed why. I’m still in shock from how it felt to have and see all that leaving my ear canals, but I’m so glad I got these. $8 to help your hearing… don’t worry if you don’t see results until the fourth day. I thought most of it was out by then cause there was a minor amount of wax leaving my ears, but today, the last day, I realized there was so much more. It was really freaky but now I’m listening to Kid A by Radiohead and it’s like hearing it for the first time. Everything is truly in its right place." —Gabriel

This also works on other moldy areas, like grout lines and window frames. 

Promising review: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked, there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Finally found pillows that are worth every penny!!! I am buying more ASAP! I have a sweating problem, and also have my bedroom on the third floor of my home, so the heat rises, which doesn’t help my hot flashes at all! I have a hard time finding a pillowcase that isn’t sticky feeling, too hot to lie on, etc. These pillowcases are cool to the touch, super soft, and super comfortable to lie on, to the point I woke up with drool all over my face from the remarkable amount of great sleep I had! This pillowcase doesn’t get that overwhelmingly warm, sticky feeling after lying on it for a while. It stays comfortable to lie on all through the night! I’m incredibly happy and grateful to finally find pillowcases that are exactly what anyone with sweating issues and hot flashes needs and wants in pillowcases." —CosmeticatedReviews

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.13+ (available in three sizes, five colors, and five other styles).

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the ChomChom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. The best I can describe is that the ChomChom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

They're machine washable, and come with a reusable bag and carabiner. And for a wearable option, the brand also makes headbands with the same cooling tech!

Promising review: "Summer trip to Europe was HOT this year! I mean HOT! Florence's 104-degree F temperatures made it hard to really enjoy the days of exploring, but thanks to these amazing little towels, I avoided heat exhaustion. So thankful I bought these. I was very skeptical, but I am glad I took a chance because they absolutely made a huge difference. You will still feel hot, and unless you buy this in 'blanket size,' you will still feel the effects of the heat, but they absolutely cool you and bring a respite when it matters. Especially when things are heading to a critical place, they absolutely 100% were a lifesaver for me. Started on my neck, ended up over my head (as you can see in the pic), and I repeatedly placed on my cheeks to cool them as needed." —Cristina Viera

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 12 color packs).

Promising reviews: "I never thought I would fall in love with, and become a spokesperson for an ice cream scoop but this one is absolutely perfect in ever way. The shape of the scoop makes it so easy to scoop from even the hardest, fresh-from-the-freezer ice cream. The little hook on the handle — I thought it would be gimmicky to help peel the cover off, but it works so well I use it every time. I have convinced multiple family members to buy this and they all love it too. If you are wondering if this is the one, it is!!!" —Kathy

"OMGosh! This scoop is a game changer for anyone with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or hand problems. I have two expensive scoops from high-end kitchenware companies and they don’t even come close to the quality and ease of use as this one. Love, love, love. I will be recommending this to everyone." —Amazon Customer

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen — only one of which I can fully pull out — and buying this organizer for it has transformed it. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around." 

Promising review: "New way to organize your silverware that has a sleek design. TikTok made me buy this! It’s a perfect design to not have as much clutter in your drawer. Great for ADHD people to see exactly what silverware is in which slot with the tiny pictures indicating a knife, a spoon, a fork!" —Haley Lutz

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

This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts 3–6 weeks.

Promising review: "I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall, especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I’d put a bandage over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don’t have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so, and this one was the best way. It does take some practice, but once attached, it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I’m a month in on the most severe toe, and no more ingrown toenail!" —Sandra L.

Promising review: "Holyyyy cow!!!! I was not expecting this to work like it did. I used it wrong the first two times (I soaked my foot in lukewarm water and didn't leave the product on long enough). This time, I put my feet in actual hot water (the hottest I could take), I dried and applied the product for seven minutes. When I was rinsing my foot with the hot water, I thought the stuff coming off my foot was the product. But nooooo it was my dead skin/callus. I was shooketh!!! Grossed out, satisfied, and my feet feel so soft. No more of the tight skin. I can't believe I was carrying all that dead skin. 🤮🤢 Definitely recommend." —Kika

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord can vouch for this: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)." 

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes, as a two-pack, as a refill, and as a pen). 

Promising review: "We let a neighbor kid use our dryer, not realizing he had crayons in his pockets. We did our best at the time to clean it, but there were still obvious stains inside. It sat in storage for a year and a half before I went at it again. I googled tricks to get crayon off, tried WD-40 like many advised, Goo Gone, nothing made that crayon budge. I happened to see The Pink Stuff on a BuzzFeed list and decided to try it. WOW. It took just a little elbow grease, but not even close to what I was expecting. Its scent is really mild, too. If you have a stubborn stain, try it out! It truly is a miracle worker." —Emily

Promising review: "You need a Squatty Potty. Let me rephrase that, you and the rest of the world NEEDS a Squatty Potty. Because let’s face it, who wants to be hunched over a toilet for 30 minutes to an hour, staring into their phone or reading miscellaneous shampoo bottles while waiting for their butt load to finally drop? NOT I, POPEYE. Not I. That’s why I changed my life by getting a Squatty Potty almost three years ago. Why am I writing a review now one might ask? Because dear reader, I’ve been too busy living life outside of the bathroom walls! Pooping takes no time at all now! Let’s face it, our ancestors had been squatting for eons. So what are we doing sitting all high and mighty on a porcelain throne with our legs dangling? We are designed to squat for optimal elimination. No this isn’t some gag product, or something you should skip out on. This is literally the best way to poop. I can really tell the difference when I’m not using one, and it’s not pleasant. You owe it to yourself to have the best poops of your life. SO TREAT YO SELF to this Squatty Potty. Step your 💩 game up!" —LesLeaLuvShopping

Promising review: "My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May

Sneakerasers is a small business that specializes in shoe care products. And don't be alarmed — just like a pencil erase, these'll disintegrate while they work their magic. 

Check out a TikTok of the SneakErasers in action. 

Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away, though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." —Spencer

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $11.95+ (also available in a pack of 20 and a "stink-eraser" style, as well as a formula for cloth). 

Promising review: "I've used the product for several days now and am very impressed with it! My hair has thinned a bit in the crown area with the passing of time, and this product helps to conceal it. I've used similar hair powders in the past, but they were a bit messy, not this product! The sponge applicator helps the product go on smoothly and I usually then blend it in quickly with a tissue. The included brush is a little small, but I imagine it would be good to use around the hairline. The powder also stays put until it's washed out. My natural hair color is light brown and I chose medium brown powder for a neutral, natural look. It also helps to camouflage any grays coming in. Don't be fooled by the container; it looks small when you first open the box, but a little of this powder goes a long way. I'm happy to recommend it to anyone." —Amazon Customer

If you end up making a taller storage case like the one pictured above, you can secure it to the wall with Command strips like the reviewer did for extra stability. 

Promising review: "This is hands-down one of the best makeup and organization-related purchases I have ever made. I bought this about two years ago, and it is still in perfect condition. I cleaned it today, so I thought I would show y'all what can fit in there. I use a shot glass for my eyeshadow brushes because it's easier to grab them. They fit in there, too, though, as well as the palette. I actually just ordered another one of these, with the three larger bottom drawers, and am eagerly awaiting it!" —CODY D
