Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatment in action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Price: $4.97 (also available in Strawberry Acai and Brown Sugar Boba) 

Promising reviews: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Price: $6.79+ for a five-pen set (available in 10 styles and different pack sizes)

Promising review: "Absolutely love the smell of this Epsom salt. I got the other seasonal scents, but this one is the bomb! My muscles relax when I soak in this Epsom salt, and it doesn't make my skin itch either. After trying the first bag and loving it, I bought three more before they were no longer selling." —JulieK

Price: $5.99 (available in a two-pack; also available in cozy vanilla season and cozy fireside versions)

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 around the roller brush 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 reviews: "This oil smells AMAZING. I got one as a gift, and once I smelled it, I bought three more myself. It lasts all day, and I get lots of compliments on it. I love how compact it is; you can easily put it in your purse or luggage. It is warm and very vanilla-y. This is definitely a 10/10." —Ari R

"First seen on TikTok. This is the perfect travel size, at a great price, and I love the design on the smaller bottle. Scent is very feminine, soft, vanilla, creamy, milky, and very long-lasting. Got sooo many compliments and lasted the whole day!!!!" —kysha Shante

Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, it is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine

Promising review: "I absolutely love this! TikTok made me buy it for my sunroof, and I'm so glad I did! It's so beautiful when the sun comes through! And you get so much for the price!! If you're on the fence, buy it!!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $7.99+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors)

Promising review: "It does help if you have some sinus congestion to relieve it somewhat when you use it in the shower. I do like the scent and find it helps to relax you as you steam in the shower. Would recommend." —Amazon Customer 

Promising review: "Just used this amazing little razor on my face for the first time and I am obsessed! I am 58 years old and battle with peach fuzz, especially on my lip and chin...This was super easy and effective! The exfoliation alone is fantastic! Grab some of these for your beauty arsenal!" —Cisami

Price: $5.94 for a three-pack (also available in a nine-pack)

Promising review: "If you’re looking for cute Band-Aids that have flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric band-aids because they’re way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" —Jessica

Price: $3.77 for a 30-pack (also available in another style)

However, It's always a good idea to chat with your ENT before using any ear-cleaning products!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Negesti Kaudo raves about this: "I've been using this stuff for almost a decade, and I'm v v v excited people are finally getting hip and talking about it! I used to have horribly waxy ears, and I was prone to ear infections as an adult, so I wanted to make sure my ears were as clear as possible, all the time. Ever since I started using this — which, the first time, the crackling of the solution and the wax in your ear may startle you, but it's normal — my ears have been practically wax-free, to the point where even my doctors are impressed! If you don't believe me, just check out the customer reviews to see the GOBS of earwax being removed from people's ear canals. 🤢 "

Promising review: "I knew I had earwax buildup problems when my hearing would randomly become muffled and wouldn't unblock for 2–3 days. I started applying the drops twice daily and using a warm-water bulb flush once a day. On the first day, only a little wax came out, but the earwax buildup was dissolving. The second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled the entire day, but when I did the ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out, and my hearing was restored. I continued treatment for both ears, and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the earwax. By the fourth day, all of the built-up earwax was cleared out, and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected, as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" —RnG

Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier, and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew and mold free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

Price: $5.98 (also available in a two-pack)

The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery.

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision isn't as sharp, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Price: $5.26 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "I’ve tried a bunch of different hand creams, but this is the first one that actually made a noticeable difference within a couple of days. My hands get really dry and cracked from work, and the skin can get tight and painful. O’Keeffe’s starts off a little thick, but it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling. After using it consistently at night, the cracks healed up fast and my hands feel way softer and smoother. A little goes a long way, so the container lasts longer than you’d expect. If you deal with dryness, cracking, or rough hands, this is definitely worth it. It works exactly as advertised." —GuiWhey

Price: $6.92+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack)

Promising review: "Listen, I don't even like the nerds clusters, and these are soooo fricking good. I got them for a party, but we ate them all beforehand. Wish I could find these in stores, but I'm glad I got them bc they're def my new favorite candy." —Ariel

Price: $3.97 (available in three flavors, two sizes, and in multipacks)

Promising review: "These are so good, I have tried nearly everything pickle there is. Including the pickle slush from Sonic. This is my favorite pickle-flavored item. It actually tastes like a pickle, and the texture is amazing. The thing about pickle-flavored things I have the biggest problem with is the salt levels. The salt is so overwhelming usually that it almost isn't pickle flavor, or it's just dill flavor, and I personally hate dill, but love dill pickles!" —Brenna H. 

Price: $1.97 (also available in a three-pack)

Promising review: "My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. Stains were two to three days old, too. I sprayed the shirt, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then washed the shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!" —Sloan Avery

Price: $7.94+ (available in various sizes, configurations, and packs)

You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger *full black-out* edition!

Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with red LED numbers, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly, I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim, I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER, I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in Sharpie, etc., but true to the name of these products, if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also, the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave any sticky residue, unlike most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs, I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This book is a fantastic way to dig deeper without having any worries of being judged. It's a book you can vent to, be 100% honest with, and find out more about yourself. I love it and need more books like it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The first hair clip that hasn’t hurt at all and actually stays in place. I never wear claw clips because that are so uncomfortable, but I tried this version. It's great, I wish they had more colors. Two days so far with all my hair up all day at a very active job without having to adjust it or it pulling my hair wins me over." —Abigail

Price: $7.99 (available in five colors and two smaller sizes)

Check out what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord thinks of this awesome little tool: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in just a few seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"

Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also lets me use the same brush for a makeup look, since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett

Price: $6.99 for a two-pack (also available in a four-pack)

Promising review: "So happy with this purchase. All of them smell amazing, exactly like the fruit theyre flavored as. The scent is strong as well, not a faint fruit smell but one you'll smell while it's on your lips! It has great color deposit for a sheer tint, and is very buildable. I prefer just the lightest amount of color, so this is perfect for me, but if you like a deeper tint, you can do that with these too! Just need to apply more." —Mia

Price: $3.59 (available in other flavors, including Bridgerton-inspired flavors, and in variety packs)

Promising review: "I had no idea there was such a thing as a wooden pencil highlighter. These exceeded my expectations. The pencil is wood, so one less bit of plastic ends up in a landfill. The 'lead' part of the pencil appears to be a waxy, crayon-like material. It goes on like a dream. Just as useful as a traditional liquid felt-tip marker for highlighting. Because I had it handy, I used one today at work to mark a peg location to install a shelf. This bright highlighter pencil left a nice mark, helping me locate the correct peg hole for the shelf, which wiped off easily from the metal once it was installed. 100% recommend! Definitely will buy again." —M. C. Carrington

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says about it: This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually, the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom, and now she's in love with them too!

Promising review: "I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I had previously bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets, but I love the Bedsure brand and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they’re softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled, but after a quick wash and dry, and they’re shiny and wrinkle-free. I like the envelope closure a lot more than the competing brands' zip closure. Highly recommend!" —Hannah Watkins

Price: $6.99+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes and 30 colors)

Peter Pauper Press is a family-owned small business founded in 1928.

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love. I have always struggled with being overwhelmed by to-do lists (both having them in my mind and making them). This cute, fun design makes that task less daunting and easier thanks to its organization. It lets me divide tasks into immediate needs and tasks to do eventually, and it gives me a space for appointments and reminders to call people. I also thoroughly enjoy the mood marker and the 'how was your day' section, as they help me track my mood. I absolutely adore this, and it will be a positive permanent addition to my life." —River

Promising review: "My favorite go-to coffee! Great flavor, rich and bold. I was looking for a dark coffee, and here it is! Worth every penny. My mom said, and I quote, 'I don’t like chicory.' Then she tried it because I wanted to, and she loved it! Great price!" —Afrydmind

Price: $9.30+ (available in eight blends and multipacks)

Promising review: "I have clients complimenting these all the time. They are very thick and look high-end, very easy to use, super soft and very durable, and made really well. They can just be wiped down or washed in the sink. They store the ugliest Kleenex boxes and look really good. I will definitely buy them for every floor in the house!" —CoriK

Price: $6.99+ (available in three shapes and 17 styles)

Promising review: "I bought these years ago and decided to buy them again for my son and me. He really enjoyed making the candy/gummies. He was proud of his candy sushi once they were assembled, and of course, he loved eating them. He said they were very yummy. The flavor for all the different little things wasn’t bad, but my favorite was the 'seaweed,' which tastes just like grape Hi-Chew (my favorite flavor). I recommend buying these at least once for the kids. It’s fun and a tasty treat. We will look into the other kinds in the near future." —Blythe

Price: $5.39 (also available in a three-pack)

Check out a TikTok of the nail glue in action. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this on my press-ons, and when I say they last a month or longer without any popping off! I will never go back to any other brand. Easy to use, quick-drying, GREAT PRICE!! Like, how can you beat that value? The size you get for the price is really unmatched. The glue removal is pretty easy. If I plan on reusing the press-ons, I’ll soak them in water and soap and pop them off. If not, I’ll cut and shave down the nails and soak in acetone until it dissolves the nails enough for me to use my drill." —Big Ming

Price: $2.47 (also available in a four-pack)

Promising review: "So cute! love the colors and size of them, the blades are retractable so they don’t just stick out constantly. Packaging was great, and it came quickly." —bryanna farley

Promising review: "I saw this on Amazon, and it was definitely an impulse purchase. I chuckle every time I hear the scream of the goat. It is just an amusing toy to keep on your desk and let off a little steam because sometimes you feel like screaming like this goat at work!" —C.C.

Promising review: "I need 10 more. I will never not use these, I keep one at my computer for a quick clean while I’m working. 11/10." —Emilie

Promising review: "These are just what I’ve been looking for. I’ve been cleaning up drippy soap and softener from my floor for years. Now, this product keeps things nice and tidy and clean. Plus…they were five dollars cheaper than other very similar products. They simply attach to the bottle and are sturdy." —Pete

Promising review: "I bought this sticker book for my Taylor Swift–loving daughter, and it did not disappoint! She uses the stickers on everything from cards to water bottles. They didn’t forget any era either! Super fun and cute — stickers are good quality too." —Ele W.

Promising review: "I travel frequently for work and keep this in my suitcase. Works great; I no longer carry a lint roller." —Liza Przekop

Price: $7.99+ (available in four colors and also in packs of two or four)

Promising review: "I am going through some legal things, and this folder has been perfect for keeping all my paperwork together! And boy, can it hold a lot! The snap closure is very sturdy, and the color is spot on!! An amazing value and great quality!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $5.68+ (available in eight colors)

Skoy is a small business that specializes in household cleaning products. 

Promising review: "At 67, I can say I’ve tried all kinds of different scrubbers, and these are definitely the best. These actually work better than Magic Erasers. They don’t hold food like the common market ones. They haven’t held any stains so far; they just rinse off and are eco-friendly, but last forever. I’m still on my first one after eight months, and it looks like new. I’ve put it in the washer but not the dryer since they dry fast — and by the way, they don’t stink. This is my second order because I’m bringing a couple to my second home, and I’ll include one in my camping gear as well. I’m definitely impressed." —SoCalToyotas

Price: $6.79 for a two-pack (available in four color sets; also available in packs of one, four, and eight)

Promising review: "I got this so I don't always have to Google or ask Alexa about conversions. It's really cute, too. I use it a lot, so it's coming in handy more than I thought it would." —Kindle Customer

Price: $9.95 (available in black or white and in horizontal or vertical)

Promising review: "My glasses were not made correctly and have always been too loose and fall off. I put several on the bar frames of glasses, using matched colors of the frames. looks great, and now they stay on when bending to do chores and work in the yard" —cajunmax

Price: $6.99 for a 15-pack (available in six color sets)
