41 Products You’ll Use Once And Say, “Can This Seriously Be This Good?”

I'm thisclose to buying myself a cute summer coloring book before our family road trip.

Have you ever tried something out at a friend's house and immediately thought, "wowwwwww, I gotta get me one of theeeeese!" Well, yes, that is exactly how you're going to feel about all of these items. So go ahead, have a scroll, snag yourself an inflatable lounge pool, some teeth whitening pens, new Crayola markers for adults, and a bag of Cataline Crunch Cinnamon Toast Protein Cereal, and enjoy your day!

1. A Dr.Jart+ Jelly Bear Korean Overnight Lip Mask with packaging that is SO cute you'll bearly be able to stop yourself from posting it all over your Instagram stories. It's not just a pretty face, though! It's filled with moisturizing hyaluronic acid that'll help you keep your pout perfectly plump.

Promising review: "I've struggled with chapped lips and picking my lips for years. This is the best stuff I could have ever bought for my lips. I highly recommend if your goal is soft lips. 💋" —chloe cranford

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in two colors). 

2. An quick foot-peeling spray that'll have you saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was this concocted by a witch in the woods?" because it works so incredibly well you won't believe your eyes as it renews your feet and leaves a trail of your dead skin in its wake.

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $6.89.

3. Nivea skin firming gel cream packed with a mystical ingredient (Q10, learn more about it here) for anyone who is looking to firm up their entire body and hydrate *all* of their skin (not just their face). It has more than 17,000 positive reviews (WOW!) and is beloved for how it's worked wonders on reviewers neck and thighs.

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 can benefit the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $13.98.

4. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now it's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: You're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff.

Promising review: "This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." —rose b.

Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

5. A Murdoku puzzle book that'll combine your love of Sudoku and the suspenseful storytelling of murder mysteries — Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote, and my Grandma, who made me watch every episode of the show with her, would be ALL over this!!! The puzzles start out easy and get harder as you go (and there are 80 for you to get through, jeez!)

If you somehow breeze your way through the first edition, there are two more you can check out!

Promising review: "Great quality book. Thick pages with beautiful color. Engaging problems to solve (and so many of them!!!). I am almost halfway through the puzzle book within my first week of having it, and I came back to Amazon to see if there were other volumes available for purchase. I will be buying all future volumes. Great fun!" —Daniel

Get it from Amazon for $17.70.

6. A 22-piece sushi-making kit complete with a rolling tube, bamboo mats, molds of all your favorite rolls, and so much more. No need to worry about sweating through your makeup and cute outfit on hot summer nights now that you'll know how to whip up your go-to dinner date meal from the comfort of your air-conditioned home. A win for all!

Promising review: "Amazing. Works wonders. The tube that makes the rice roll is amazing and produces a perfect roll each time. Makes the world of creating sushi much easier. It also comes with other molds for the rice, chopsticks, sauce bowls, chopstick holders, a very sharp knife, and more. The knife is great as it is very, very sharp but has holes on the side. I’m assuming this is to keep the rice from sticking to it while you cut the sushi. It’s a great kit. Really happy I bought it." —Jim

Get it from Amazon for $17.31+ (also available in a 27-piece set).

7. An inflatable lounge pool you can set up right in your own backyard instead of trying to motivate yourself to pack a bag and schlep over to a public one — who wants to do that in 90 degrees? Certainly not moi. This one has built-in cupholders, a detachable headrest, and a sprinkler. All you'll need is someone to feed you grapes and tell you how amazing you are (because, duh, you are.)

Promising review: "I love this. I don't have a pool and wanted to cool off. The sprinkler is fun. You have to push the pillow in. Make sure to try to turn it upside down; it will go in. Great quality. I'm so glad I bought this. Thank you.. When I'm done with it, I roll it on its side and let the water out. It's nice to put a radio in your window. Eat a snack and enjoy the sun. The water warms quickly and feels so good." —Melissa L. Brady

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three sizes and colors).

8. Plus a mini air pump that'll, of course, help you blow up your backyard pool but will *also* make you a local hometown hero when you're able to whip it out at any given moment to inflate pool floats, beach balls, air mattresses, travel pillows, and, gosh, who knows what else! It even has a little light built into it (you never know when you might need to guide someone's way!) *and* can be used to remove air from items as well.

The 2600 mAh battery is perfect for smaller items that don't need a ton of pressure, so no tires, balloons, or sports balls. 

Promising review: "I am very happy with this purchase. I took this on a backpacking trip, and it made inflating my sleeping mat a breeze because it is so light to carry. It offers great versatility with its attachments and a solid build, making it a reliable tool for field use. It does get loud during operation, but it was easy and doesn't get that hot. Fantastic addition to my kit." —Sean

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors). 

9. A Dove Clinical + Care Antiperspirant Deodorant for my fellow sweaty humans (we should make up a secret handshake or something) who are in need of a reliable option that'll *actually* keep you dry during these ridiculously hot summer days. This invisible stick will last for up to 96 hours, is made from a gentle, nourishing, alcohol-free formula and has a lovely clean scent that won't overtake your perfume.

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of deodorants over the years, and this is one of the few I keep coming back to. It works really well, keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day, and I don’t find myself needing to reapply. The scent is clean without being overpowering, and it’s been gentle enough on my skin, too. I’ve had this on Subscribe & Save for a while now, which is probably the best review I can give because I’m quick to switch products if they stop working for me. This one has stayed consistent and does what I need it to do. Overall, definitely worth trying if you want something reliable that actually holds up throughout the day. It’s become a staple for me." —Jenna Tschanz

Get it from Amazon for $8.25 (available in three scents).

10. vivid nail polish in a shade named "High Dive" (discovering the polish name is half the fun, right?) and will look fabulous in all the pics you snap holding fun summer cocktails all summer long. This might just be *hands down* your new go-to mani color.

ILNP is a small business! Reviewers are also a big fan of the subtle, shimmery "Birthday Suit" shade.

Promising review: "This polish is the best you can buy. Long-lasting, beautiful color payoff. The formula is perfect in terms of consistency, self-levels like a dream, and isn't runny. Literally have three polishes so far and plan to get as many as I can!" —McKenzie Willis

Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (available in over 300 shades)

11. reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.

Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway

Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in seven styles).

12. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from The Fairly OddParents, and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites. They're a great alternative to the fan-fave Crest Whitestrips, but at a much more digestible price.

You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.

Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

13. "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's less than SIX DOLLARS but smells like a $75 bottle of Pink Sugar.

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $5.50 (available in two styles). 

14. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that'll get the job done just as well as the $33 Becca version — it'll conceal and brighten the dark circles under your eyes SO FAST you might even forget you stayed up super late watching Friends reruns and are now sleepier than ever. This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades!

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. It has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba, and despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price...10/10 from me. 

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

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

15. A Pacifica reusable brow mask you can use along with your favorite serum to help temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines (the only "Fine Line" I want in my life comes from Harry Styles, OK?) All you've gotta do is apply the previously mentioned serum of choice, pop on the silicone patch (it'll create a vacuum-like seal that locks in moisture), then remove it in the morning! Easy-peasy.

Apply your skincare, let it mostly dry, and then place the mask on top. Make sure you wash it as soon as you take it off to protect the stickiness. 

Promising review: "Wow, wow, wow this is incredible!!!! I was skeptical of these kinds of reusable sticky pads, but jeeeeeez it works SO well. I have stubborn forehead lines that retinol just isn't helping as well/quickly as I'd like. I've been using retinol for years, and while it's helped a lot, I'm still self-conscious. I put this pad on right after I finish my skincare. I leave the pad on as long as possible, and when I peel it off in the a.m. I QUITE LITERALLY have zero visible lines. I wouldn't believe it myself if I weren't using this product. And the lines don't come back right away either. After using this for a couple of weeks consistently and sleeping with it on, I've noticed a HUGE difference. The stickiness lasts a long time. And for how cheap it is, I don't mind buying a new one every month, give or take. PLEASE TRY THIS! YOU WONT REGRET IT! This is exactly the product I've been needing without knowing I needed it." —cait v.

Get it from Amazon for $9.79.

16. Downy Wrinkle Releaser Spray, because I don't know about you, but I'm 34 years old, and I shamelessly still don't even own an iron. I'd much rather pull my T-shirt out of my drawer, spritz it with some of this magical juice (it is quite majestic, isn't it?) and watch the wrinkles disappear before my eyes instead of breaking out an entire gadget that could potentially burn me. Not to mention it leaves clothes smelling deliciously fresh.

This reviewer uses it to make their bedding look extra crisp!

Promising review: "This product is magic in a bottle! It is incredibly effective at removing wrinkles without ironing. It smells so fresh and clean, and I do like the continuous spray. Saves me so much time in the morning. I will continue to subscribe and save!" —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.

17. A tennis dress with built-in shorts that'll make you want to say things like "I'm heading out to practice my backswing" or "I'll see YOU on the court" even if you've never picked up a racket. If you're still thinking about Zendaya's Challengers ensembles, don't hesitate adding this to your cart.

Promising review: "I hesitated to order this one, as I own the original Halara dress. Just got it and it's great! The quality is there; it's tight enough in the bust to not just function without a bra but *look good* without one. I can't wait to wear this dress all summer! Easy to slip on, plus it has an easy-to-pull-down back underneath. As a girl who's always, and I mean alllllways, having to pee, this is a godsend feature. I kind of want one in every color now." —Kristian

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and seven styles).

18. A Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand you can count on to be the *highlight* of your makeup routine from the moment you pick this baby up. Even if you've never used a highlighter before, you'll be able to master it on your first try thanks to this one's easy-to-use applicator (a plush brush tip attached to a tube filled with the product). You can blend it right into your skin with your fingertips or another makeup brush... so simple and fabulous.

I had a now-discontinued Disney100 version of this product and was obsessed. I was *so* blown away by how easy it was to apply and blend that it quickly became one of my most-used products. I've since purchased the "Pillow Talk Light" shade and love how it leaves a perfectly pink shimmer in its wake — I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear it and love how it lasts all day long. I bought my sister-in-law a similar shade after she was jealous of how easy it was to put on my face — she's also been loving it!

Promising review: "I love this! It gives a fabulous glossy touch and is very easy to apply without getting cakey. You only need a small amount to get a perfect finish, and it's a great size to carry in your purse for touch-ups. It has definitely become a must-have in my makeup routine. Highly recommended!" —Julissa M

Get it from Amazon for $44 (available in seven shades).

19. A set of "Tacodillo" taco holders that'll make sure no tears are ever shed again on a Taco Tuesday — never again shall a perfectly crafted taco be wasted by the weakened state of a secretly cracked shell! Ugh, toppings everywhere. You should've seen it. It was, well, quite the scene.

Reviewers say these do work a little better for hard tacos than soft ones. Each armadillo can hold two tacos at once.

Promising review: "So fun for a family taco night! Great quality. I washed them in the dishwasher and had no problems." —Kat M.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.98.

20. Retro-inspired sunglasses that are simply oozing with coolness and will likely make you feel like an absolute trendsetter. Is she a model? An actress? An influencer? Nope, she just has impeccable taste.

Promising review: "Love these shades, they’re firm and give off a quality vibe, the tint is in the perfect shade. They look expensive in my humble opinion. Great pair of shades if you want to do a no makeup look as well. Didn't come with a case or cleaning cloth, but for the price, I’m not surprised. Delivered fast." —Brittani

Get them from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in a variety of styles and packs).

21. A summer-themed coloring book for anyone who, like myself, likes the *idea* of seasons, but when push comes to shove, and the weather app says "feels like 90," my only plans will include making my air conditioning so low I can wrap myself in a blanket indoors and relax with this cute activity.

Coco Wyo is a TikTok-famous brand known for creating adorable, easy-to-color books! I own Coco's Cozy Corner coloring book and love using it to unwind after a chaotic day of chasing around my toddlers. 

Promising review: "Love this book so much. It is paper, so expect the markers to bleed, but I put a separate page behind so it doesn’t. The pages are not double-sided, so that helps as well. I’m excited to get another book when I finish this one! There is so many pictures in here!" —Jenna E.

23. A 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler to make you feel like you can finally take on the world — and by that I mean boat rides and long drives. It's designed to help you get rid of overall nausea, motion sickness, and morning sickness. (Where was THIS during my two pregnancies?!)

You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief.

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime when 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 it from Amazon for $12.99 for a pack of two (also available in a pack of four). 

24. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel you'll absolutely want to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew.

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising reviews: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith 

"This right here is the real deal! You can see immediate results! It firms and moisturizes my eyelids! A must-have!" —Nancy A. Borkowski

Get it from Amazon for $5.97

25. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time.

After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! My daughter colored with a blue crayon all over our play table, and The Pink Stuff took it off INSTANTLY — it was incredible to watch!

Promising review: "I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout using a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to mixing honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine-grit and more pasty, like putty or clay. It works amazingly so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall, very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

26. foaming drain cleaner that should come with a warning for how exciting it'll be to use — its powerful, foamy goodness will pump right through your sink/bathtub drain to remove any lingering gunk (likely hair, oops) and help everything drain seamlessly again.

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner? I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $12.78 (also available in a two-pack).

27. Compound W One Step Pads with reviewer photos that'll make you gag but prove how well these bandages effectively remove stubborn plantar warts. Sorry for the grossness, but not for telling you about this awesome product.

Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again...nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

28. Billie Soothe Comforting Body Wash will look oh-so-lovely hanging out in your shower, thanks to its aesthetically pleasing purple bottle. It's packed with oat milk and ceramides to help soothe irritated and dry skin, and has a calming lavender scent to put you at ease while you rinse the day away.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

29. Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot," a must-have for anyone dipping their toe into the K-beauty waters. It's made with a rice water extract formula that'll help exfoliate your face (see ya, dead skin!) and leave it with a magical glow. 

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical, but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that kept regrowing, and it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Get it from Amazon for $15.

30. Hard as Hoof nail-strengthening cream because I can't possibly be the only human to commit to a gel manicure only to realize I have no time to head back to the salon to have it removed, and then peel it off and destroy my poor nails. If you're in the same boat, apply this cream to your tips so it can help your cracked, brittle, thin nails using coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, and vitamins.

Promising review: "My nails were gross, dry, cracked, and brittle, all the things before. I have used it daily for about eight weeks, and for the first time in my life, I am filing my nails…I can no longer bend my nails in half. I can knock on things with my nails and have no pain. This stuff is AMAZING. Just buy it." —Malia Roach

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

31. Maybelline Lifter Glaze Oil Balm will not only add some lovely color to your pout, but features a hydrating oil blend and hyaluronic acid that'll ensure your lips are moisturized and kissable at all times! Reviewers say that the "Acai Glaze" shade looks just like Clinique's fan favorite Black Honey shade (but for much cheaper).

Promising review: "I love this tinted lip balm! It gives my lips the perfect wash of color while keeping them super soft and hydrated. The texture is smooth and lightweight — not sticky at all — and it feels like I’m just wearing a nourishing balm, but with a natural lipstick look. The tint is buildable too, so I can swipe once for a subtle glow or add more for a deeper pop of color. It’s perfect for days when I want a little something without doing a full face of makeup. Plus, it’s great for touch-ups on the go. Highly recommend if you want moisture and color in one easy step!!" —J.P. 

Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (available in five shades). 

32. A pack of disposable adhesive shower hair catchers with a tab you can use to pull them up and toss them out after you're done rinsing off — a must-have for anyone who is sick and tired of gathering their soapy strands while trying to enjoy their shower.

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly, and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

33. Shout Color Catchers because once you've destroyed all of your white tees and socks with a rogue pair of red undies, you won't want to make that mistake again! These handy sheets can be tossed right into your washing machine and will catch any stray dye that threatens to ruin your clothes.

By reducing the number of necessary washes, you'll save on laundry, water, and electricity.

Promising review: "I've used color catchers for many years, so I can wash darks and lights together. They save time and money. You can tell they work by the color they soak up. If I have a garment that I know runs badly, I still wash it separately so as not to tempt fate. Recently, however, a new, purple shirt took me by surprise and ran profusely. I had two color catchers in that load. They both turned deep violet. The only purple stain was on a white dish towel that had ended up next to the shirt and sat there with it for a couple of hours after the wash cycle finished. Everything else was fine. These are seriously one of the best home inventions of the modern era." —Go Steelers

34. Capri Blue Volcano-scented multipurpose cleaner that'll make your house feel like the luxurious Anthropologie candle of the same scent — who knew cleaning could be so, well, chic????

Promising review: "This stuff smells SO good! Like a sweet, sugary citrus, but not overpowering, just a light, fresh scent. The smell lasts forever. I used a kitchen towel to wipe my counters down and then hung the towel up and the next day I could still smell it when I walked into the kitchen. For the scent alone, I would purchase this again! As for cleaning... it is not a disinfectant, it is just a general multipurpose cleaner, so I wouldn't use it to clean toilets or anything like that. It does a WONDERFUL job at cleaning and cutting grime and grease, though. It actually surprised me! It doesn't leave residue or streaks but does leave a clean, shiny surface. The bottle is plenty big. The only con is that the spray mechanism doesn't work the greatest. Sometimes it sticks. I use glass spray bottles, so I just put it in one of those to solve that issue. Overall, definitely recommend!" —Joshua

35. Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Toast Protein Cereal, which will help you satisfy your urge to eat something sweet but without any sugar (and it actually tastes good!) It's gluten-free, has 11 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving, and is perfectly crunchy.

I've had a difficult time finding a quick way to get extra protein into my diet that doesn't involve a lot of cooking or blending (I have two kids under the age of 5, and time is not a luxury I'm currently offered), so I was very excited when I tried and ACTUALLY LIKED this cereal! It has a delicious cinnamon flavor and doesn't get soggy. The 1/3-cup serving shockingly keeps me full wayyyyy longer than other cereals. I've since tried a bunch of the other flavors and the snack mix — I'm a fan!

Promising review: "I've tried just about every type of low-carb cereal and they all have high-cardboard taste. Not this one. With almond milk, with or without fruit, or just plain out of the bag, Catalina Crunch is everything it promises. I'm not getting paid to say this, but I wish they'd pay me in cereal. Can't wait to try their other products." —Leslie F. Miller

Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in peanut butter).

36. An Eos Crème de Pistachio Better Body Lotion made with natural shea butter and a decadent, nutty fragrance (but one that is safe for those with nut allergies!). You'll find yourself reaching for it nightly as the finishing touch to your skincare routine.

Promising review: "Crème de pistachio is divine. The lotion is so smooth and goes on really nicely. It absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. The scent is really pleasant and not overpowering. I will definitely purchase again." —xWx

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

37. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel (which also happens to be everything I'd like in an ice cream sundae). It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.

Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that’s something you’re looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

BuzzFeed Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."

Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smoothly and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.

38. A coconut body scrub that'll leave your legs feeling so silky you'll want to just lie in bed and rub 'em together while intermittently telling your roommate, "COME FEEL HOW SOFT MY LEGS ARE!" The jar will last you a while since you'll only need to use it once a week, a big win for your wallet and your skin.

It comes in coconut coffee or coconut vanilla (shown above), and other delicious scents. Bare Botanics is a small business!

Promising review: "I love anything coffee-related and have tried a few different body scrubs, but this one is by far the best! My skin feels silky-smooth, like satin, which is amazing because it's normally very dry. The silky satin feeling lasts for days. I have been using this scrub for about two weeks, and I'm obsessed — the first week I used it twice, but realized I didn't need to use it more than once a week. You can smell the coconut and coffee, but it's not strong or overwhelming. If you are looking for a body scrub that has a pleasant scent and will leave your skin feeling silky smooth for days, then I highly recommend!" —Stephanie Wortham

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in nine scents). 

39. Pink Miracle shoe cleaner to help you revive your beloved white sneakers that currently look like they've been dipped in a mud puddle (they're having a rough summer, OK?). This will bring 'em back to a perfectly clean state just in time for you to traipse through some freshly spit out gum. Delish. 

It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. 

Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage delicate materials such as suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." —brad1856

40. A "Lifty Loo" toilet seat handle complete with an adhesive that'll let you just stick it on to your potty and enjoy the perk of *not* touching the seat itself. Yuck. 

Lifty Loo is a small business that specializes in toilet lifting tabs that are made with recycled ocean plastic. Now that my toddler is potty trained and knows how to "stand" to pee, I'm absolutely investing in one of these babies.

Promising review: "Works perfectly for what I need it for. I just figured out where it would work best on my toilet, then I adhered it. It doesn't get in the way, and my younger boys are able to pick the seat up without touching the seat." —SK

41. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer because somehow, at the age of 2, your child has accumulated a concerning amount of plush pals. This will *attempt* to keep 'em contained and hopefully save your back from lots of bending to put them back in a basket on the floor.

Honeyera is a small business that sells items specifically designed to keep kids' toys organized.

Promising review: "This holds a ton of stuffed animals. I bought it for my two girls, who share a room, and their beds are overrun with stuffies. This holds so much so they can still be on display; it's easy for them to get them in and out except for the top basket, and it matches their room colors. Great quality and easy to use." —The Word Of A King

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 10 colors).
