An clear eyebrow gel that’ll hold each hair in place so your brows always look perfectly groomed.
Promising review: “I absolutely love this stuff. I have a ‘bare minimum’ makeup look and this stuff is part of it! I actually use it even if I don’t fill in my brows at all. This stuff is able to go on thin enough for me to not feel it but thick enough to hold the hairs where I want them until I take it off. I don’t have any extra wax or residue, it lasts until I remove it, and it does not have any smell or tint to it. I take my brow shape pretty seriously since that seems to be what I’m complimented on more than anything else. The picture I’ve included is what my brows looked like with the gel but without any makeup on them. You will not find anything this good for a price in the same ballpark.” —Nina

A genius transparent mouse and memo pad for anyone who needs their to-do list right in front of their face or they’ll forget what the heck they need to get done.
Amazon
Promising review: “What you see is exactly what you get. There are two transparent sheets to keep notes/cards and such separated. Writing on the mat is very comfortable, and I love being able to use it as a mouse pad as well. This is plastic type sheets so you can just wipe them off. Since this mat can be cleaned, I don’t see having to ever buy a replacement unless this one becomes torn. Of course, I did end up buying another one because I originally purchased this mat for work and loved it so much I purchased one for home use.” —JC

A cruelty-free lengthening mascara so your lashes actually hold a voluminous curl. It’s lightweight, won’t transfer, doesn’t smudge, and lasts all day — what more could you ask for?
Promising review: “After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy…and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!” —Carrie E. Miller

The Big Activity Book For Anxious People, because it mixes fun and humor with educational tips for coping with your anxiety so you feel a little less alone about your worries.
Amazon
Promising review: “I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. It has become part of my daily routine. Some pages have activities such as crosswords or mazes. Others have coloring activities. Others have text. Because I enjoy coloring, when I read the pages that have just text, I color random designs on top of the text while repeating the calming information to myself. The book really does make me laugh and reduces my anxiety a bit. As my therapist tells me, ‘Information reduces anxiety,’ and speaking feelings usually reduces them. This book ‘speaks’ worries that I experience regularly, so I don’t feel so trapped in my head with it, and it gives me information that either makes me laugh or reduces my anxiety. Pretty amazing. I recommend this to every single person with anxiety who enjoys working with paper.” —MBM

A mascara separator if you’re not a fan of the clumpy lashes look. The comb is curved so you can reach every itty bitty lash.
Promising review: “This is a great tool. I have used eyelash combs in the past, but this is the first time I have used the curved shape. It makes a huge difference! The curved shape is much more effective at separating lashes. I recommend letting your mascara dry a bit before using the comb, to avoid getting smudges on your eyelid. I like that this tool has a metal comb, and the cover is helpful.” —Lisa

Promising review: “So I use this primer for my eyeliner AND eyebrows, and it is a life-changer!!! I work jobs and a majority of the day I’m waitressing outside on the patio in the humidity. I needed something to keep my eyeliner intact so I didn’t look like a raccoon by the end of my shift. It literally kept my makeup looking like I just put it on allllll day no matter how bad I sweat in the heat!!! I used it only on my eyes first just to try and I was amazed. So the next day I tried it as a primer for my eyebrows too before I filled them in and it does the same for my eyebrows! I’m in love with this product. Hopefully my picture will prove it!!” —Molly

A mold and mildew remover so you can set it, forget it, and come back in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. I’m talking basically every speck of black mold is gone! *Cues up “Do You Believe in Magic”*
Promising review: “You guys. I’m embarrassed to even show you this. The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub. The cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I came across this in a BuzzFeed list, and this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it. Like today.” —KarynB

Promising review: “I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference.

Promising review: “Wow this stuff is actually really good. I’m extremely surprised at how moisturizing this is and yet glossy at the same time. I tried it on immediately when I received it and was impressed. I knew my true test would be in the morning. My lips are always dry after brushing my teeth so I figured that would be the perfect time to test this out. That was three hours ago and my lips are still moisturized and GLOSSY even after eating breakfast. I literally tossed out all my other mediocre lipglosses that were just taking up space. Highly recommended.” —Posh2wice

Promising review: “I was so tired of wasting lotion at the bottom of the bottle! I would try everything to get it out, even cutting the bottles in half!

Little need for catnip, with some positive attention and gentle encouragement they started using this groomer and haven’t stopped, only when it falls down. Didn’t want to use screws and haven’t found a lasting adhesive tape that holds up under such constant use. Command strips are on the shopping list.” —Amazon Customer

A tonsil stone remover so you can *finally* treat the root cause of your bad breath. This tool has a built-in LED light so you can easily locate the tonsil stone. Plus it also comes with a syringe to help you wash out the pocket the tonsil stone left behind.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “I’m in my early thirties and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! I’ve been struggling with cotton swabs to fully remove the stones but couldn’t get rid of them and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG…best investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly posing myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous condition…trust me.” —Wren

A soft and gentle silicone massager brush to exfoliate sensitive skin, clean out your pores, and loosen dead skin cells to reveal softer, healthier, glowing skin underneath.
Promising review: “I’m a licensed esthetician and know a thing or two about skincare. Unfortunately, I have such sensitive skin that most exfoliants I’ve tried for myself really irritate my skin and can end up triggering eczema or psoriasis flares. This is a gentle enough way to exfoliate that it gets the job done for me without irritation. As a plus, the massage-like effect it has would aid in microcirculation and probably aid cell turnover (as exfoliation does in general).” —Michael

A pumice cleaning stone for powering through tough rust, lime, and calcium streaks that have retired many a toilet scrubbing brush. Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy rub away discoloration with ease. This nontoxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain so you can sit atop the glistening throne you deserve.
Promising review: “I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It’s embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn’t break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!” —Stephanie Ray

Promising review: “BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought for sure they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered ‘ruined’ for several years and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. I was so impressed! It’s absolutely worth getting and trying for yourself! Scuff marks take a bit more time to improve but they do look better after brushing them.” —Gaby Scott

A grooming rake because it’ll loosen an absurd amount of fur, lighten your dog’s undercoat, and prevent future mats. This brush is specifically designed for pooches with thick, dense fur or double coats.
Promising review: “I wish I could give this thing 7 stars, but 5 will have to do. I was able to pull entire sheets of undercoat out of our husky without disturbing the topcoat. I’ve never had anything work so well. It’s even easier to keep the fur pile together. The fur stays clumped instead of getting spread out and floating around like with the blade style Furminator. This thing really digs the loose stuff out so much faster and easier. Check the photo to see what 20 minutes will get you.” —pvfjr

A door stop with a built-in security alarm if you live alone or just want the added comfort of knowing when someone is trying to get into your home. This bad boy emits a high-pitched alarm when pressure is applied to it (i.e., an intruder is attempting to open the door).
Amazon
Promising review: “These are fantastic and VERY loud. I put one at the front door without telling my wife while she was out. She came in, the door wouldn’t open past it, and the alarm went off. Not only did it scare her, but I was napping in the den and it scared the crap out of me too! Fantastic door alarm that no one should be without in my opinion, even if you have an alarm. I travel a lot for work, and having one at the door in the room is extra peace of mind. Inexpensive enough for you to supply for your family, and even friends. Easy to use as well. Keep in mind that if you set it off, you need to pick it up and turn off manually.” —Xfiler

An earwax removal kit if buildup in your ear is causing discomfort or affecting your hearing. Good thing you don’t need your ears to read the 1,500+ 5-star reviews this product has garnered.
Promising review: “After messing around with a cotton swab in my left ear (never do this), I managed to fully block all hearing in it. I ran around like a headless chicken for about 24 hours because the pressure in the ear was so intense. One treatment of Debrox and the blockage immediately subsided. Trick is to let it sit in the ear for at least five minutes. Drain the ear, wait another five minutes, then irrigate with the bulb and warm water, never cold. Seldom does a remedy work as advertised; this one does!” —Chazmax1
