57 Products That Are Very Good At Their Jobs
Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes.
A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain.
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams.
A Summer Lemon Marinara sauce that, quite frankly, is the best version of pasta sauce that I've ever had out of a jar. And much better than some sauces I've had out at restaurants! It more or less feels like "il dolce far niente" to me, even if I'm pouring it over some noodles that expired a month ago in my pantry.
A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.)
A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze.
A Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball that'll have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent.
A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your old house *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. (Can you sense an enchilada theme here?)
An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash can help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day.
E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube.
A $5 brass cleaner potion can bring some shine back to your designer bag's hardware (without a trip to the Louis Vuitton store). It just takes a tiny bit and some patient work with a cotton swab!
Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total.
Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid.
Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months.
A leather stain remover spray that'll turn back time on your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative!
Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.)
An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.)
A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding.
Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious.
A multipurpose blush stick to help create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content.
A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max.
E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation.
A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle.
Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats.
A Thermacell mosquito repellent that also serves as a light source so you can squeeze in more hours on the patio without getting eaten alive by bugs. It works for a 20-foot zone!
A mini sprinkler pool to help the fam cool off and get some water time without having to dump out a kiddie pool's worth of water once the fun has wrapped.
Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to stave off frizz and give you a glass-like sheen thanks to its anti-humidity powers. Even in the nastiest of weather. AND it's formulated for its effects to last through several washes. (Something to which I can attest.)
A bug bite suction tool that'll help you out with existing bites to remove the irritating venom, and help reduce itchiness, pain, and swollenness. Plus it works on other insect stings. Think about all the scratching you could've saved yourself!
A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal.
Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm for a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't get back inside after a picnic and start wondering why your lips feel so tights. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen.
A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so you can cover up all kinds of scratches from "exploring" in the woods behind your house with your toddler. Though, it was full of more sticks than wildflowers. This'll be a cute solution!
A 360-degree portable neck fan for those sweltering days on the beach when you just seem to be pouring sweat — even in the shade of the umbrella. Just be sure to charge it with the USB before you pack your beach bag!
Kimchi Almost Catfished finishing powder to help keep you matte on the go. It basically serves as a ~realistic~ filter for your face without looking like you put yourself through facetune like a Real Housewife who's running her own socials.
Olay Super Serum Body Wash has niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides in a formula made to provide 24-hour hydration so you don't have to slather on tons of lotion post-shower just to avoid feeling like a dehydrated dinosaur.
Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger can find a spot under sinks around your home for when your roomie's meal-prepping routine wreaks havoc on your kitchen sink. Grab this and use it in the same amount of time it takes you to google a plumber.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. Reviewers especially love the intoxicating scent and sometimes opt out of wearing perfume because the vanilla/salted caramel/pistachio scent is quite strong.
A set of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can stir into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration. After all, in the summer you aren't so good at drinking water. So this is a great preventative measure. (I also personally love these for travel and hangovers, and hangovers while you're traveling.)
A portable safe for securing to a beach or pool chair to keep your valuables safe and from getting water on them or falling in the sand.
Some Seastar neoprene slingback sandals that are *actually* water and boat shoes, though they look like regular espadrilles and you can wear them as such! These babies have TRACTION on them but are still comfy and won't rub. I own them and have worn them in the sea and on rocky beaches of France, Croatia, and Italy without slipping and hurting myself. Most recently, I used them to scramble over a bunch of rocks in Panama (as seen below).
A clinical-strength antiperspirant if you've tried just about everything to stop sweating but you haven't found your holy grail yet. It has 12% aluminum chloride, which blocks sweat for up to 72(!!) dry hours.
A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed and it's made to work for up to seven days.
A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers will keep the Cheerios where they should be, either in the container or into your kid's mouth...not on the ground.
Some silicone can covers that'll make your Natty Lite look like a Coke Zero. But you may wanna warn your pals ahead of time before your day at the beach because everyone KNOWS you're a Diet Coke girly.
Some dishwasher-cleaning tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. You were lucky to score an apartment with a dishwasher but if it's not super effective, what's the use?! These are honestly so cheap that you'll wanna *add to cart* rather than texting your super to come by for a look.
A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack can work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag during travels. So it's a little go with the flow — within reason.
A digital luggage scale will make sure that you aren't slammed with an overweight luggage fee (ugh) or having to move stuff from your checked bag to your carry-on to avoid said fee (also, ugh).
A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) to help improve your view of your yard. You're not the only one who has trouble enjoying weed-filled scenery. If you normally recruit someone to weed for you because you can't comfortably (or simply don't enjoy) bending down to do it, you'll ADORE this tool.
And a crack weeder tool that'll go where the larger weeder (and your hands!) can't if you're not opposed to getting down on the ground to weed, as long as the weeding is far more efficient!
A set of three Cadence containers that are magnetized and'll stick together in your toiletries bag AND on your metal cruise ship bathroom walls. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos.
A special brush can keep your dryer's lint trap clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. If you aren't already cleaning out the lint trap with every cycle, grab this before calling out a repair person.
Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers reviewers found extremely helpful for camping and park use. BUT they'll also give your sorry-looking backyard table a quick makeover.
A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be especially great on vacation, in case you get motion sick in the car or on a boatride.
A *foldable* wide-brim hat for helping you keep the sun off of your face, make your outfits look even cuter, and easily fit in your carry-on without crushing it.
An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. No need for a professional assessment!
A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige?
A carpet cleaner to transform all sorts of soft surfaces in your home BESIDES your carpet (though it'll do amazing work there too). Turns out, you don't need to buy a new couch after that huge accident. OR rent out a pro carpet-cleaning machine for about half the cost of this beaut. (You'll def use it more than twice and get your money's worth.)

28 Products To Make Your Home Look More Put-Together
A set of glass soap dispensers to make your guests go, "Ooh, that's fancy," when they use your bathroom or hang out in your kitchen. These look so much more elegant than regular plastic containers, and they even come with waterproof labels! A pack of two invisible floating shelves if your bathroom sink doesn't have adequate counter space for your "get ready with me" makeup or nightly skincare routine. These are super slim, and the raised lip on the edge ensures your things are nice and secure. A cable management box for those who have WAY too many cords and want to keep them out of sight and out of mind. It's got ventilation holes, so you won't have to worry about overheating, but it still protects wires from any curious pets or young kids. Or, a bookish disguise to hide your Wi-Fi modem or other electrical eyesores. Not only will it look like you're an avid reader, but it'll make it seem like you are organized to a tee. A set of bedsheet organizers so you don't have to tackle the avalanche of poorly folded sheets and duvet covers that look like they're about to engulf you if you grab them from the bottom. This organized system keeps your linen closet tidy and simplifies things when it's time to change the bed. Or, a bedding holder that features an adjustable indicator strap, making it easy to sort your blankets, comforters, and sheets for your king, queen, full, and twin beds. No more guessing — grab the right set every time and save yourself the headache. A set of airtight food containers to keep all your dry goods organized and let you know when you're running low on your fave cereal. These come in a variety of sizes and with chalkboard labels. Big subtweet to whoever decided that flour should be packaged in a non-resealable, easily punctured paper bag, SMH. A leaning blanket ladder — a super chic way to store and showcase your cozy throw blankets instead of just tossing them in a basket or leaving them on the couch. Plus, it's got padding on the top, so it won't scratch your walls. A vertical shoe tower so your Crocs, Birks, and Hokas have a place of honor in your house, and by place of honor, I mean right by the door, but without getting in your way when you're headed out of the house. Or, a chic and slim entryway shoe cabinet to ~sneak-ily~ hide those sneakers and slip-on shoes in a way that matches your boho aesthetic. This is great for small spaces and can store up to 12 pairs. A set of customizable drawer organizers, because we all have that one drawer where we just shove our stuff in and hope it closes. This set comes with 25 pieces and endless ways to organize! Finally, a junk drawer that will no longer be a ~junk~ drawer. A spice rack organizer so you can make sure your favorite chicken seasoning doesn't get lost in your narrow kitchen cabinets. If you're guilty of stacking as many spices as you possibly can and forgetting about half of them, then this is for you. An under-the-sink organizer because even your cleaning supplies deserve to be in a somewhat clean and organized state. The bottom shelf slides out for easy access, and the L-shaped design is great because it doesn't get in the way of those pesky pipes that take up so much space. A pantry door organizer — handy for those times when you go to the grocery store on an empty stomach and bring back a LOT more dry goods than you planned on. The shelves are adjustable, so don't worry about that family-sized box of fit! An unassuming broom organizer equipped with five slots and six hooks, because even if you have a small apartment and an even smaller closet, you still need a lot of cleaning supplies. That messy pile of brooms and dust pans shoved in the corner is a thing of the past because you've just turned the back of your door into a functional space saver. A cabinet door organizer so you can really flex some "I've got my life together" vibes when you open a cabinet and pull out the aluminum foil... without pulling eight of its friends out with it. A 50-pack of velvet hangers to elevate your closet, making it feel like your own lil' boutique instead of a cramped storage space when you're choosing your perfect OOTD. These are super thin, so they take up less space than your collection of random mismatched hangers, and the velvet prevents clothes from constantly slipping off. Shelf dividers so your closet can finally look a little more organized than usual. This'll keep your sweaters with your sweaters and prevent things from falling over when grabbing from the bottom. A water bottle organizer because there's no shame in buying a sixth emotional support water bottle in the span of three months, but there is the embarrassment of that messy cupboard that unleashes an avalanche of water bottles every time you open it. Cheers to using vertical cabinet space more effectively! Some adhesive shower shelves if you need a better place to keep your shampoo, conditioner, and body than the tiny corners of your bathtub (where they usually fall over anyway). These are renter-friendly and can hold up to 40 pounds. A sink caddy organizer so your sponges, soaps, and brushes can have a place of their own rather than being left in the sink with the never-ending pile of dirty dishes. It's even got a draining spout, so any excess water will go back in the sink rather than all over your countertop. A bamboo storage bag and food wrap organizer for storing plastic baggies, foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper all in one place instead of their bulky individual boxes. This comes with labels to identify your wraps and bags, and the dispenser cutters give a precise cut for all your food wrapping needs. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids so all your bathroom essentials, like your hair ties, cotton swabs, and flossers, can be neatly displayed on your bathroom counter and within reach. They even come with labels if you're wanting to be ~extra~ organized. An adjustable ceiling garage rack if you've been searching for a way to store all your stuff without just randomly stacking bins on the ground. No need to look further — just look up! A toy organizer that'll keep all your kids' books, plushies, dolls, cars, and literally anything else off the floor and out of your way. This is low enough for your little ones to grab their stuff (and maybe put it away??) and comes with an anti-tip kit to ensure there are no unwanted boo-boos from a fallen organizer. A six-tier plant stand to beautifully display those plant babies that are growin' like it's nobody's business. This vertical stand has multiple shelves and is wholly made of bamboo. A makeup organizer so luxurious and grand that it looks like a modern-day Disney princess would use this. You can store all your lippies, powders, and mascaras in it to save valuable counter and drawer space, and it'll look so chic sitting out! A TV cord cover if you want to hide those annoying cables that hang down from your mounted TV. It easily sticks onto the wall and makes it look so much nicer. Pro tip: You can even paint it the same color as your wall to make it look even better.

36 Products With Downright Astonishing Results
Veet's sensitive hair removal gel that's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal.

A pack of carborundum sponges — these things are tough, so prepare to send all your other kitchen sponges across the street to Weenie Hut Jr's.

Think Olaplex, but in a conditioning, frizz-fighting formula that includes Brazil nut seed and argan oils for extra moisture. Some beloved Hard as Hoof nourishing cream made with beeswax and jojoba oil to condition brittle nails and cuticles (on your fingers AND toes!) and have them looking as shiny and fresh as they did before that gel manicure did its damage. It's designed to sink in quickly (a rare feat in the world of cuticle oils), and it also smells like coconuts. I probably should have led with the coconut part. 🥥 🤤 A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to bring your furniture back to life. Its magical blend of orange oil, beeswax, and Brazilian carnauba oil help to break down water spots and restore wood to its former shiny glory. A set of teeth-whitening strips that help get your teeth a few shades whiter in just 14 days — seriously, the before-and-after photos are stunning. These are designed to cause very little sensitivity, so much so that you can leave them on for up to an hour if you please!

Just give them a spray, put on your thickest pair of socks, and walk around in them until dry (or use a shoe stretcher overnight). A moisturizing hair serum, from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne, made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. Kind of like how the seven members of S Club worked together to provide timeless bops. A nail concealer that's a multitasking marvel. It helps strengthen nails thanks to its blend of biotin and keratin, and it also provides a sheer hint of pink color that works great on its own or as a fast-dry top coat. It's basically a manicure in a bottle — which is an absolute STEAL at under $7. Just be sure to tip yourself when you're done. A retinol body lotion — the magic of retinol is not just for your face! This retinol in the creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover, while the ferulic acid firms skin for a tighter appearance. Reviewers also note that this works wonders on rough, bumpy skin on their upper arms and legs after consistent use. And the bestselling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer) but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract. A pet brush so you can effortlessly remove all the loose fur from the fluffy little gremlin that sheds all over your home. This will make your cat or dog's coat splendidly shiny like they're fresh from the groomers, and the brush head is fully removable for easy cleaning. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that has reviewers feeling like they're the star of a Pantene commercial. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands (hello volume!!!), while rosemary and coconut oil are known to moisturize the scalp (bye-bye, itchiness). You'll be ~toss, tossing~ your hair like Glinda in no time. 💁♀️ A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective, btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors you can use to shape your eyebrows and remove fine hairs. You can also use it to remove any stubborn peach fuzz so your foundation will glide on more seamlessly than ever. A pack of cleaning tablets for your dishwasher, because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These tablets will break down lime and mineral buildup in the main compartment, internal pumps, and the pump and valve — so your dishes will come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials. A suede and leather brush to eliminate the scuffs, oil marks, dirt, and foot impressions that threaten to ruin all your cute warm-weather fits.

Just fill your cup with warm water, drop the tablet in, and wait 15-30 minutes; rinse your cup, then get back to hydrating and/or caffeinating yourself. A cruelty-free lengthening Essence mascara with rave ratings and some seriously impressive before and after photos. Oh, did I mention it's UNDER $5?! Some reviewers even compare it to expensive brands like Tarte 👀. Unlike other mascaras at similar price points, reviewers say this one doesn't easily clump or smudge throughout the day. A powerful spray to break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower is actually supposed to look like.

It'll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on the racks — because, yes, those need cleaning, too. A pair of stainless-steel tongue scrapers for anyone who has googled "why does my breath stink so much?! reddit" a few too many times. This has a super convenient dual-handed design, so you can easily reach the back of your tongue and then pull forward to evict the nastiness that's living there rent-free. The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 on those busy mornings when you need to look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. Reviewers say it blends seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles — and it now comes in four shades! And Maybelline's Dark Circles Treatment Concealer for even more coverage. It proves you don't have to keep spending a lot of money for high-end results. The lightweight formula is infused with Haloxyl, a peptide complex that's meant to reduce dark circles and tighten skin. Many reviewers say it's easy to blend with just your fingers, so you can ditch the brush if you want to! Compound W One Step Pads designed to remove plantar warts with ease, and also have reviewer photos that will inspire and traumatize you in equal measure. The medicated pads are packed with salicylic acid to help break down the wart, and you can replace them every 48 hours for best results for up to 12 weeks. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which has become so TikTok-famous it's racked up 153,000 positive ratings. It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected ovens with the help of a little elbow grease. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body, but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away! A pair of Nippies, adhesive pasties reviewers swear by for feeling comfortable, secure, and supported — especially when their summer fits just don't work with a regular bra. The medical-grade adhesive provides a strong, waterproof hold, and they're entirely washable and reusable. Plus, they come in several colors to match various skin tones.
