A bottle of Glossier Skin Tint known for having a breathable formula that blurs pores and lightly covers redness without feeling feeling like your typical foundation — in other words, this doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a layer of product. In fact, it feels like nothing at all.
Glossier
Promising review: “I’ve been using Glossier products for a few years now, but I wasn’t interested in trying the skin tint for a long time. I thought it would be too sheer, too oily feeling, and too messy. I have blemishes, scarring and redness. I eventually got it because heck, it was one of the couple Glossier products I haven’t tried yet. I DONT KNOW WHY I WAITED SO LONG. This is THE skin tint. It smoothes, seriously evens everything out, brightens and makes you look awake and healthy. It’s not messy at all, nor is it greasy whatsoever. It blends amazingly well, so much that it’s undetectable. I just wish this came in more shades because I seem to be between light and medium… but I like it so much that I’ll buy medium to mix with light. And isn’t the packaging just adorable?! Five stars.” —Sara
Get it from Glossier for $26 (available in 12 shades).

A reversible waterproof desk mat that cackles in the face of coffee rings. Plus, don’t have a space large enough to accommodate a fancy WFH set-up? Same. Slap this bebe on your living room coffee table to at least give the *feeling* of typing away at a genuine office desk.
Promising review: “I’m an art teacher, and working from home during the coronavirus outbreak was going to put a lot of strain on my wood desk (which I keep mostly for show but now am forced to use for work). I ordered this desk pad because mint green is my favorite color, and I wanted something to protect my desk from paint and other art supplies. It arrived today, and it was so cute! It’s exactly what I wanted. It’s thin enough not to add too much bulk to the desk, the color is so fun, and it wipes off easily. I love that it’s reversible, too, so I’ll probably use one side for making tutorial videos for my classes and the other for when I’m painting. I was worried that it wouldn’t lie flat because it came rolled up, but it lay flat immediately. And it came with a cute little belt in case I need to roll it back up again and store it!” —Jill S

A Crack’em egg cracker and spoon rest about to make breakfast a whole lot tidier. Say so long and farewell to countertops stained with runny yolk and shell bits making their way into pancake batter — this TikTok-famous gadget makes cooking ~over~ easy.
Amazon
Promising review: “I absolutely cannot believe I’m doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don’t have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time.” —Edwin Myers

I usually wear premium denim but I am reaching for these now. The price is definitely right at $20. They look good with boots, flip-flops, or tennis shoes.

A set of oven liners to save you the heartache (yes, heartache) of burnt roast chicken bits — the kind that will require a minimum of seven scouring pads and so. much. backache.
Amazon
Promising review: “I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill, or running the ‘oven clean’ option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for it to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn’t the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!” —Hpg

Gel nail strips to turn your fingers into a minimalist work of art. Worthy of the Louvre! The Met! The MoMA! Or at the very least, your Instagram. Reviewers rave that these strips remain intact for days, which is more than I can say about the liquid formula I applied yesterday that ::checks hands:: already chipped.
ARTTIPSSTUDIO / Etsy
Promising review: “Wow I’m amazed! Love how pretty they are and I am still wearing mine after six days. I’ve been washing dishes, washing my hair, and using water a lot and they are holding up good. Highly recommend.” —Wendi
And! A clear Mavala Switzerland polish purposely designed to have a bitter taste, the kind that will make even the most chronic nail-biter think twice before snacking on a finger. Less nail biting = stronger nails, faster growth, healthier cuticles, and a longer-lasting manicure.
It’s totally harmless *and* shine-free, so it won’t look like anything’s on your nails. It’s also great to help kids stop sucking on their thumbs.
Promising review: “Best purchase I’ve ever made. I’ve been biting my nails for 34 years. NOTHING has stopped me. I’ve tried other flavored polishes, fake nails, manicures, etc. I was embarrassed for people to see my hands as a professional person.This polish is so bitter, it works. I’ve worn it alone and over regular nail polish. Has a tiny bit of sheen. It tastes so bad you could almost use it as a weight loss aid. All seriousness, don’t get it on your lips or your food because it tastes gross (rubbing your fingers against something else can accidentally transfer the bitterness if it’s too close to when you applied). I’m so happy I found this.” —Jaclyna
An adjustable ~garbage can~ to toss the food wrappers, receipts, and heaven-knows-what-else that accumulates in your vehicle. Picture it now: a world in which your passenger seat isn’t cluttered with coffee to-go cups.
Amazon
Some reviewers even use this for their strollers!
Promising review: “I love this trash bag. My car has never stayed this clean. I have had it since last December and every time I go to empty it out, I am amazed as to how much it holds. It obviously isn’t made for super big items, but the paper that comes off of straws, gum, or whatever snack my kids are having in the car that day holds it and then some. The reason I’m even writing this is because I just emptied it and found a paper plate in it. I love the Velcro bottom too. It is easy to unwrap and wipe down the inside.” —Maddie Gutierrez
A faux wood electrical cord box to hide unsightly wires that cause heartache by just looking at them. The tangles! The never-ending tangles! They’re more than I can personally handle, so I will be hiding them with this box: It’s the more efficient tech equivalent of “the chair.”*
Promising review: “I purchased this cable box to hide a bunch of cords for a router, mini cell phone tower, etc. I shopped around a bit because I wanted something that looked nicer than just a plastic box. This was the best solution I found, I like the faux wood top of it, I actually wish the sides were the same design but again I do like the aesthetic of this box. It fits a ton of cords and wires. This was a fast and satisfying fix to my cord problem. I will be purchasing another one of these boxes for a different area of the house. It was worth the money for me as it looked better than the other cable boxes I could find and it really did solve the problem.” —Kindle Customer

These are dishwasher-safe, odor- and heat-resistant, and really lightweight.
Promising review: “We’ve been eating at home a lot more often and trying to make our burgers taste like our favorite restaurants. That involves lots of sauce, tomatoes, and pickles. Messy burgers. This handy thing keeps it all together and keeps your hands (relatively) clean. Would love to have them when we eat out again… would it be weird to whip these out of my purse while dining out?” —C.

These won’t stretch out, won’t break after that extra wrap, and genuinely stay in place, plus they feature a seamless design that won’t damage your hair (…unlike the one you’re currently sporting on your wrist).
Promising review: “They’re worth every dollar! It’s not quite like any other hair tie I’ve seen before. It’s really thick, very expandable, and super durable. I have thick, coarse, nappy, natural, African American hair and these certainly do the job! I don’t care what type of hair you have or how much of it you got because these will do the job. And they won’t rip out your hair while doing it.” —Gracey

Pull-on Levi Strauss jeans – they look like your typical hunk of denim, but you’ve been duped! These are just as comfortable as your favorite leggings but look about a trillion times more put-together, so slipping these on at the beginning of a particularly important day is highly recommended.
Promising review: “I never write reviews, but these are easily the best jeans I have ever owned in my life and I had to share!!! They fit perfectly in every way to the point where I can’t believe these aren’t custom made for me. They are incredibly comfortable without sacrificing the look of real jeans and the tummy panel is FANTASTIC. On top of all of that, these are more comfortable than my leggings. I’m in love with these pants and will be purchasing the rest of the colors to replace every other pair of jeans I own.” —Anonymous

Act+Acre Plant-Based Dry Shampoo that’s especially great at vacuuming up grease because tbqh, it’s been 84 years since your last proper shampoo. Rice powder and fulvic acid absorb oil and detoxify the scalp, plus rest assured this won’t clog hair follicles (and prevent new growth) thanks to its lack of talc, alcohol, and other no-gooders.
Plus, the spray nozzle makes for uber easy application — just separate your hair into section, spritz, rub, brush, and you’re done. No hair dryer required for a squeaky clean look.
Promising review: “Wow!! This is an absolutely amazing product. As someone who only buys cruelty-free items, and has 90% plant-based beauty products, I’ve been through my fair share of dry shampoos in search of a good one. The bottle seems small upon receiving it, but WOW, a small amount goes so far. It’s so light in my hair that I don’t even feel like I’ve got it on. Super effective, a gentle scent that isn’t overpowering, but greatly refreshing. If you’re looking for a plant-based dry shampoo, I highly recommend this. The effectiveness, lasting power, and scent are all better than other brands I’ve tried.” —Jocelyn Wendt
A tie-waist shirt because it’s about time you retire that $12 version you bought for that internship interview during your senior year of college.

Zip Top silicone containers anyone who eats or cooks needs to buy, pronto. Single use plastic can’t hold a candle to these must-have kitchen items: some are designed with a flat bottom to remain open on countertops, make for easy pouring (no more splattered pancake batter), and keep food fresh for a longer period of time.
BuzzFeed / Maitland
“If you’re looking for a set of reusable bags to reduce your waste, look no further. This Zip Top silicone set is just about perfect. The eight-piece full set comes with cups (with circular flat bottoms), dishes (with elongated flat bottoms) and bags (for easy taking to-go without taking up a bunch of room). They’re airtight, and just EASY PEASY to use — aka I don’t have to track down a matching lid. Half-eaten oranges, leftover crepe batter, granola, all live handily in these pretty lavender containers. The pointed sides make for effortless pouring — everything from shaking granola into my morning yogurt to dispensing thin crepe batter into a pan for a weekend breakfast.
They’re dishwasher-safe (on the top AND bottom racks), freezer-safe, AND microwave safe, so you can truly say goodbye forever to disposable bags. They haven’t retained any sorts of staining or smells and wash up beautifully. At just over $11 a pop when you break it down, they’re not *cheap* but when you add up box after box after box of plastic bags, you’ll make up for the cost in no time flat. I haven’t been ~on the go~ much in the past year (🙃), but when I do I’ll definitely use these to bring snacks to the office. And they come in pretty pastel colors that personally just make me happy to look at in my fridge.” —Maitland Quitmeyer, BuzzFeed Deputy Editor

A jar of TICARVE Dust Cleaning Gel here to — and I cannot believe I’m about to say this — make cleaning fun. This goo hunk traps dust mites and dirt with relish. And In moments. I don’t know who needs to hear this but…your car vents? They need this.
Amazon
Promising review: “When I first saw this product I thought ‘No way is that really going to work’ but for the price, it was worth a try. I got it within two days of purchasing it — and it truly works. I immediately used it on my laptop keyboard and my PC keyboard. It really did pull all of the dust and whatnot out from in between the keys. It feels damp to your skin and doesn’t really leave a residue, the smell is not harsh and is really barely there (not like an antiseptic or harsh chemical at all). I really like it.” —BRickard
A twist-to-dispense click pen that quickly and efficiently wipes away built-up gunk to reveal a brighter, more breathtaking surface within seconds. Consider this an easy way to make your best friend (re: diamond) look and feel as good as new.
Promising review: “I worked in a fine jewelry store for several years that sold this product. I was always impressed with the instant shine the diamond stick provided! The brush tip is very helpful for getting under the stones and in the setting where gunk builds up, which reduces that brilliant shine. I recently got engaged and immediately purchased a diamond dazzle stick of my own. You simply brush, rinse, dry and go. I don’t feel this product replaces the need to professionally clean your jewelry every now and then, but it does help with the maintenance of that new, shiny sparkle.” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “I love this jumper. Super comfy, perfect fit. The waist is a string tie (not elastic!), which I really like. Elastic waistbands can sometimes be too tight even on comfortable clothes so the string is great. The ankles and wrists are stretchy with the perfect amount of ‘give’ so I can get my feet and hands in and out easily. The fabric is lightweight and easy to move, dance, yoga in. Of course, it’s a V-neck so I wear a cami, sports top or halter underneath. And pockets!” —Debbie

A liquid-free, reusable rolling screen cleaner so you can see what your phone, laptop, and tablet looked like pre- permanent fingertips. A few quick swipes = no more smudges staring back at you whilst you respond to emails.
Promising review: “This little device removes the oil from your screen. Often, when you are ‘cleaning’ your screen by wiping it with a cloth, you are simply pushing around the oil into a thin enough layer to see through without noticing it as much. This device actually lifts the oil and removes it. My screen feels like new, which is great because I am picky about my devices. Also, this is much better than cleaning the screen with some kind of wipe since repeated cleaning with most wipes will damage the screen over time. Unbeknownst to me, my wife was cleaning her screen daily and now her screen collects oils far too quickly because she wore off the protective layer. With this product, you don’t need to worry about that. Clean it as often as you want/need and you can continue to enjoy that pristine screen without fear of wearing the oleophobic layer off prematurely. I would highly recommend this to others.” —Alex

A handy citrus sprayer that can be inserted directly into zesty fruits and voila! Fresh lemon juice will take your meal from microwaved to Michelin star, even sparing you the pain of burning paper-cuts (and liquid on your counter space) in the process.
