I *never* worry about spills or leaks (and I mean NEVER). It’s comfortable to hold and carry around, and I love the stainless steel interior that keeps my water cold. I can throw it in my bag and know everything inside is safe from water and that the ice I put inside it in the morning will still be there in the evening. Basically — yes, it’s worth it!BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: “I have the Simple Modern one, too, and it’s great for being at home and drinking water at the perfect temp. *But* if you’re worried about leaking AT ALL (or prefer a metal + silicone combo straw to plastic), the Brumate Era is 100% wizardry, sorcery, and magic. It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours — I’ve had cold water stay COLD for ages in this bottle! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it LITERALLY SIDEWAY in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all! And…if you’ve seen some of those videos about hidden mold in certain lids…know that this disassembles incredibly easily, so you can just toss the pieces in the dishwasher.”Get the 40-ounce size from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two sizes and 16 colors) or straight from Brumate for $44.99 (available in two sizes and 16 colors!). This mini straightener heats up in only 30 seconds and warms up to a constant heat of 410 degrees.Promising review: “I got this nice little and compact hair straightener for my trip to the beach. It is small and lightweight. Perfect for a trip. It heats up really fast; within seconds, it is very hot. It comes with a pouch to tuck it away. You do need to move slowly through your hair because the heated part is small, but it does a good job. Also I like the comfort of the design to hold it. Fits nicely in my hand. Not heavy like the bigger bulkier ones are. I took my time and shopped around for a travel one. I think this will be good to use every day. It doesn’t take up much space either.” —Connie CunninghamGet it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).Promising reviews: “If you had to buy one thing from Ably, I would recommend these shirts! I agree with other reviews to size up for a more comfortable relaxed fit. These shirts work well for working out, hiking, traveling, or every day. I don’t even have to wash it every day. Sweat doesn’t stay on the shirt, so it stays dry and doesn’t smell.” —Hana”I bought it for him so we don’t have to toss every white shirt he spills food on. He loves the soft stretchy fabric, and cleaning up his spills is a breeze!” —Emilie R.Get it from Ably Apparel for $48 (available in women’s sizes XS–2X in 10 colors, and in men’s sizes S–3X in six colors). Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action. Promising review: “I’m a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn’t be easier with the self-stirring function. Just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug halfway with water, turn it on, and let it do its own thing.” —Lina Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action. Promising reviews: “This product is great. It is so easy to use and works better than the Apple products for charging my phone and Apple Watch. Air Pods too. All can be charged at the same time, and I love that I can set it up as a tripod and use my phone as a clock at night while charging. Great product at a great price!” —Dave”This charger is exactly what I needed. Compact, yet capable, all-in-one wireless travel charger for each of my devices. One stop shopping!” —Kindle CustomerGet it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in nine colors). Promising review: “Game changer for cool weather travel. Absolutely a winner! We had an upcoming trip planned to Japan where the temperature was supposed to range between the 30s at night to the low 50s during the day…I wore these pants almost every day, alternating with another similar pair. They were warm but not too warm, comfortable, didn’t get baggy and stretched out, and didn’t really seem to get dirty (on and off trains and walking for hours and hours). And when I washed them in the washer at hotels they dried completely in a day. I was shocked. I thought they would take ages to dry but they were a fast dry — fantastic. I love these jeans and will keep them in my closet instead of packing them away for other cold-weather trips. If the temperature drops here (in LA), they will be a nice snuggly option…Pair them with some nice wool knee-high socks, and you should be good to go for weather down to the mid-30s.” —wendy gGet it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in women’s sizes XS–XL and in eight washes).Perfectly Satined is a Black-owned small biz based in Montgomery VIllage, Maryland. They are *experts* in satin-lined headwear, with everything from beanies to bucket hats and even baseball caps! Promising review on size and quality of Perfectly Satined hats: “A lot of hat for the money. First off, I have a big head (7 7/8), and the XL is plenty big for me; it is even big enough for my friend, who has a solid 8 head size. It also looks great and appears well-made. [The hat is] weighty enough that this be my go to hat in the fall and winter. Thanks for taking care of us big head dudes!!!!” —cfedrynaGet it from Perfectly Satined on Etsy for $15.96 (available in four sizes and in colors black and white).Just secure the insert and cover together using the pin; it’ll stay in place thanks to a clever magnetic lock, so when you’re ready for laundry day, you can easily unlock the pin with the included magnetic key!Check out a TikTok of the duvet clips in action. Promising review: “I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick, and the Pinions pierced through with no problems! Plus, with a little extra room if I had some extra layers. I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Other duvet tools I’ve seen just plain suck. The clips are never reliable, and the ties just don’t stay. This handy dandy tool ENSURES nothing will move. I placed one on each corner of the duvet, and then I put one on the middle edge between each corner. Absolutely no moving! Don’t walk; RUN TO BUY THIS. I also like how unnoticeable they are.” —Abigayle MishlerGet a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95. Pinion Pins is a small business btw!Promising reviews: “I was skeptical that these wouldn’t work as well as silk pillowcases because the price was so low. But, game changer, seriously. Not sure what kind of sorcery is built into this, but it stays cool all night, and my hair hasn’t been a wreck when I wake up. Get this!” —Susie F.”I bought these cases to match a new sheet set. I previously had bought much more expensive brands to match other sheets but I love the Bedsure brand of products and wanted to try these out. Arguably, they’re softer than my more expensive ones! They did arrive very wrinkled, but 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 WatkinsGet a set of two from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in standard, queen, kind, and body pillow sizes and 37 colors).Reviewers also swear by these for crafts with fine detail work, like painting and embroidery. The three light settings featured are yellow, warm white, and cool white.Promising review: “At night, I want to read physical books, not digital. I was trying all kinds of different lights to use that would not disturb my husband or toddler. Nothing was working right or easy to use. This actually works great. The lights on each side can be controlled separately. And they each have three brightness settings. It is also flexible, so you can point it where you need it. Doesn’t bother my neck at all, although it is bigger than I thought it would be. I’m super happy with this light!” —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two styles and seven colors). Mus Treasures  is a woman-owned small biz that creates handmade resin gifts and keepsakes such as bookmarks, guitar picks, dog tags, and more.Promising review: “This is a game changer for sure! I just recently got back into reading physical books and honestly forgot how annoying it was to try to hold the books comfortably/having to re-adjust shortly after just because your hand is tired from holding It. I feel like there’s a little bit of a learning curve with getting used to having it on your thumb but it’s honestly been such a help! The resin is also nicely clear and the flowers are set up really nicely in it!! I also told one of my coworkers about it as soon as I got it!” —Becca MoffitGet it from Mus Treasures on Etsy for $14.33+ (originally $20.48; available in four shapes and 13 colors/styles).Both cat and dog owners love this bowl!Promising reviews: “I ordered as a cat water dish, knowing cats don’t like bowl edges touching their whiskers. This is such a stable, wide, clean bowl that keeps water cold! She had a kidney problem, so trying to encourage her to drink. I also ordered a fancy cat fountain same time. She plays in the fountain but drinks from her bowl!” —Linda A. Bonness”The Coldest Dog Bowl is a game-changer! Its stainless steel construction is not only sleek but durable, ensuring longevity. The nonslip base and no-spill design make mealtimes a breeze, and the thoughtful insulation keeps water cooler for longer. I highly recommend it for pet owners seeking a stylish, functional, and pet-friendly bowl. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.” —JenniGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes and 22 colors). Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories. Promising review: “How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first ‘TikTok Made Me Buy It’ purchase, and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car’s vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that’s holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I’m looking at you, Arby’s.)” —Pleasure PamelaGet a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Promising review: “Makes life so much easier. I can’t imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container.” —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in five styles and four colors).Kitsch is an Asian woman-founded business!BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd loves using this towel: “I’ve used hair towels for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster, and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I’m trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place without being irritating at all. And obviously, it’s super cute, which is always a bonus.”Promising reviews: “Kitsch Towel Wrap has made my wash days so much easier. It minimizes frizz and helps lock in all the moisture from the products I use on my hair. I definitely recommend it for all my natural girls or anyone in general 😁.” —Mutiat Kakpovi”The perfect drying towel. This is my second one of these, and I love them! Plenty of room for my long, thick, curly hair, and it helps me cut down on the time it takes to dry. Having the elastic and the button also helps to prevent my curls from being pulled straight while drying. My first one is over a year old and still going strong, so these are great quality!” —M. JenkinsGet it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 14 colors/patterns).P.S. Kitsch has matching towel scrunchies, too!The device self-adjusts to fit pots from 6–12 inches in diameter and 3–9 inches in depth. The motor will stir for up to 13 hours per charge and then only takes 30 minutes to recharge. Promising review: “I have used this almost daily for two years! I make jam, which requires a lot of constant stirring. This product is my MVP! Jam is a hot, bubbling, sticky mess. Stirmate keeps it moving while I gather my jars. It saves my arm from soreness and burns. It cleans up easily. The arm goes in the dishwasher, and I wipe the motor down. I don’t normally write reviews, but this product has exceeded my expectations.” —tracy k.Get it from Amazon for $78.95.These also work great for wired EarPods! Promising reviews: “Do not hesitate to buy these. My AirPod Pros were constantly falling out my ears, and it was so annoying. These anti-slip ear hooks are a lifesaver. Do not hesitate to buy them, because it works. They help my AirPods stay in place, and I don’t have to worry about losing them anymore. The pack includes three pairs of replacement hooks and a cute little carry pouch.” —Simone”Finally, something that actually makes my AirPod Pros stay in! I was hesitant to try at first, seeing as they’re made of a silicone material. But they fit, and my AirPods stay comfortably in my ears. I danced, I ran, I jumped, I talked, and they still stayed in. I love that they come with three pairs, so there are plenty of backups. Great product and a great price!” —Chad JohnsonGet a pack of three from Amazon for $15.95 (available for AirPod Pros Gen 1 and Gen 2, and AirPods Gen 4).This one checks all the boxes: super roomy, has plenty of pockets (including one for shoes and a separate wet bag!), and has a strap that slides down over your luggage handle for easy transport. And reviewers say it meets even Spirit and JetBlue’s personal item rules and fits under airplane seats!Promising review: “One bag handled a week of travel! This bag is like magic! I fit four pairs of shorts, four shirts, underwear, socks, and a couple of workout outfits with sports bras, two pairs of sandals, four bathing suits, a coverup, a sun hat, toiletries, cosmetics, a laptop, a notebook, three device chargers (computer, phone, and Fitbit) and an electric toothbrush. Even when packed to the max, the weight is comfortably distributed so it doesn’t break your back. It fits under the seat perfectly, too. I bought it when it was 50% off, but I’d pay full price knowing how awesome this bag is for travel.” —AlexanderKGet it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes and 26 colors/styles)Promising review: “I love these silicone wheel covers. They take a little work to get on the wheels, but it’s not hard, and you know for sure they are secure. The covers are sturdy and well-constructed, while they help the suitcase roll along much more quietly. I think they will be perfect for an upcoming visit that includes cobbled streets. As a bonus, the different-colored wheels will make my suitcase easier to spot on the carousel.” —Wendy S.Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six colors). Reviewers also *swear* by these for keeping sand and dirt off the rim at picnics or the beach! Promising review: “Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you can’t finish your soda or maybe don’t have time? If you’re driving somewhere, it’s difficult to handle a canned drink sometimes; you’re trying to take a sip, and all of a sudden, you hit a pothole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these, you can enjoy your soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first but [I was] sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day.” —JonesyGet a set of six from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and sets of six and 12). Promising review: “TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding.” —HungGet it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). Promising review: “I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That’s why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30-35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours.” —JGet it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors and in an Android-compatible version). This heatless curler comes as a set, so you’ll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase!Promising reviews: “Works well with thick hair. I’ve seen this trend going around for a while, and I’m always happy with the results. Initially, I used to leave it overnight to get the desired curls. However, I later discovered that I could wrap my hair in it for a few hours and still achieve beautiful wavy curls. I naturally have curly hair, but when I want a different look, I blow dry my hair before using this method. It’s great that I don’t have to apply extra heat to my hair with a straightener!” —Erika Jo”I’ve had this for a week, and I already love it! I have extremely straight, thin hair, but I have a lot of it. My hair doesn’t hold curls well at all, but with this, the curls are intact, albeit deflated, for 12 hours. I’m sure they would last longer if I added in more hold products after taking them out, still experimenting on [how to get the] best results. Great hair styling tool, easy to use, and good results!” —Kate”This product is fantastic. I have 3C hair, so I don’t think it’s a great idea to use it with your hair, whether it is damp or wet. I would definitely blow dry first. I love the curls that it gave me, and sleeping in it is super comfortable. I am recommending this product to all my friends!” —AmandaGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors).Promising reviews: “This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty well. I added a few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… it’s amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it, girl!” —Mariela”I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore.” —TaleSpinnerGet it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three colors).Just tuck the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the holes to prevent tangling and twisting aaaand (according to the manufacturer…and backed up by reviewers) improve dry time by 75%!!!!!!!!Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.Promising review: “It works. I don’t know how, but it works. I only dried one sheet. I’ve yet to dry two sheets at once. I will update. Dried in a quarter of the time too. Update: I dried two sheets at the same time and it works like a charm. Cuts drying time by a third! I recommend.” —Keith P.Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).Promising reviews: “Cute, compact, and convenient. I use it with TikTok and Kindle App. I knit at the same time as watching TikTok vids or reading so this is an amazing little gadget. It also wouldn’t take up much room in a purse, so I can travel with it.” —annaangela”Super compact and works great! Setting it up was easy, and it fits snugly in my book bag without taking up a lot of room. It’s great for laying in bed while having my tablet set up and scrolling without removing my arms from my blanket.” —Kindle CustomerGet it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors)The LED display shows basic metrics like time, speed, and distance. Its speed range is 0.5–6mph, and its weight capacity is 220 pounds. See it in action in this TikTok! Promising review: “This thing is awesome. I’m a small, not technical person, and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on, and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the ‘calories’ might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn’t need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. The packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!” —CrowellsGet it from Amazon for $289.99+ (available in four colors).Promising review: “I saw these on a couple of TikTok videos and immediately bought them. They are literally the best thing I’ve ever bought. I was scared they wouldn’t fit over my glasses but they do just fine. I use them to read, watch TV, and scroll through my social media, all while lying down. Such a great buy!” —KivyGet them from Amazon for $12.99. VoChill is an Austin, Texas-based small business started by a husband and wife after not being able to fully enjoy white wine because it warmed up too much in the heat. Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Abby Kass LOVES this glass chiller:”I wanted a nice glass of white wine because it paired nicely with my dinner, but realized I didn’t have any chilled. Luckily, I remembered that I had put the VoChill in the freezer, so I was able to grab it, attach it to the base, and set my glass of wine in it. It chilled it and kept it cold for the whole time I was drinking it. It was so nice. Plus, it was super easy to grab my wine glass when I wanted a drink, and I never felt like the glass would tip or wobble in the “cradle” because there’s actually a bit of rubber in it that helps keep glasses of all sizes in place. I was seriously surprised how cold it kept my drink to the last drop. If you like a nice cold glass of white wine (or even a chilled red), I highly suggest keeping this in your freezer because you never really know when you’re going to need it.”Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors and also a pack of two). It’s got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you’re done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here. Promising reviews: “Soft and easy to use. Been using this product for years, and hasn’t failed me. Bought another for a friend to save them money from buying makeup wipes. Great on sensitive skin!” —Liz”This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part, and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes, and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry, and it’s perfect. I’ve been using it for over six months now, and it hasn’t failed me at all; it’s worth the money!!” —Sharmin RahmanGet it from Amazon for $16+ (available in 17 colors).The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovior Beauty. Promising review: “Game-changer!! As a makeup beginner, this has completely saved me!!! The stamp works great, and I’ve even gotten more confident not using the stamp thanks to my practice WITH the stamp. After having it for 5–6 months, I think the stamp has become more dried out, but it’s 100% still worth it. Eyeliner is so difficult; I’m glad I got this.” —CGet a set of two (one for each eye) from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes).The Soggy Doggy is a small woman-owned business specializing in products that keep your pup dry and comfortable.  Promising review: “Creative genius spin on the plain old towel. Pockets make it easier to hold on to my eight-month-old wiggle worm Rough Collie when I have to dry him off after he comes inside from a romp in the two inches of snow we just got. It’s also very absorbent. Very pleased so far!” —shannon curlileGet it from Amazon for $23.49 (available in five colors). Promising review: “I love this product. I ordered a medium at first, and it seemed to work fine for our two dogs (Australian shepherd mix and lab mix). The medium was a little small for the Lab, so I ordered the large. The large is easier to fit her paws into, but it’s harder to use because it’s much bigger (which was expected). They both work, and we absolutely love how clean it gets their paws. We were shocked to see how dirty the water was. This saves us so much time from wiping their paws with wet towels and then drying them. You do still have to dry their paws, but if they happen to slip away, you just have to deal with a wet floor and not a wet/muddy floor. I definitely recommend this product to everyone who has a dog.” –Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $13+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).Tech8 USA is a small biz based in Austin, Texas.Promising review: “Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy, and I’m pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite.” —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five styles). Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic.IceBeanie is a small business founded by surfer and migraine sufferer Nick Lamb. Promising review: “By far one of my favorite everyday essentials. The fit could not be more perfect; it fits on my head like a glove. The fabric is SOOO smooth, soft, and comfortable. It is lightweight and doesn’t feel heavy at all. I love that the entire beanie gets cool, not just sections of it. The color is so aesthetically pleasing, and I will definitely be ordering more for my family. This product is one of my favorites because it is multifunctional; I use it when I need to cool off, when I have a headache, when I do yoga/meditate, and so much more. Do yourself a favor and buy one; you will LOVE it!!!” —Mitchel LGet it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors).Promising review: “This is my second one! Love it so much since it can keep my necklaces safe and untangled with its strong magnet. Saves me so much time layering all the necklaces I have. Literally takes one second to put on!” —Nichole LiGet it from Amazon for $16.99+  (available in gold, rose gold, and silver, and with two or three clasps).Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal swears by these bags!: “I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes but also if I know I’m going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn’t like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it’s better to travel with them than without — especially since it’s more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that’s gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I’m sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake…it’s just *chef’s kiss*.”Promising review: “I’ve used these bags before, and they are so helpful. I even use the medium one for travel, and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don’t come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out, keeping them safe and sound and very compact.” —Susie KochsmeierGet a six-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).This gadget heats up and clamps bags shut with its corrugated hot plates, so you can keep your snacks fresh!Promising review: “Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips my daily opens. This sealer worked great. Heated up in like 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now I don’t have to find a clip! I’m sure the chips will stay fresh much longer, too, since it’s sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!” —Stacy0814Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in black and blue).BuzzFeed Editor Melanie Aman loves this product!: “This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes.”Promising review: “I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!” —ChrisyGet it from Amazon for $14.99.Promising review: “I bought these for my mom’s car and mine a while back ago, and these little things are great. Since I got my license, I’ve hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these, it’s been a blessing; I feel less like a scared new driver. I’m currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these, too! These are also great for backing up because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it’s helpful when I parallel park in the city.” —Mariam AbassGet a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven shapes).Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
