#2 Your Face Will Feel Like It Just Chugged A Gallon Of Fancy Water After Using This Intensely Hydrating Biodance Hydro Cera-Nol Real Deep Mask

Review: "I LOVE this mask! I don’t like leaving it on for at least 3 hours but the way my skin looks after I use it makes it worth it!!! My skin is soooo soft and dewy for days after I use them. My makeup goes on better as well. I’m 47 years old with combination skin and have noticed that the elasticity in my skin is not what it used to be. I cut different areas to make the mask fit better. I also cut the eye and mouth leftover pieces and use those on areas that aren’t covered. Once I have the mask in place I get all the product from inside the pouch and rub it on my neck, chest, and hands." - Stephanie Gonzalez

#11 Turn Your Backyard Into A Tiny, Buzzing Airport For Adorable Feathered Friends With This Delightful Hummingbird Feeder

Review: "I love this feeder. It’s well made with thick glass and a strong base. It’s easy to clean and manage. The little red metal flowers are sturdier than other feeders I have with the metal flowers. The liquid capacity is more than enough and I love the shape and style. It attracted hummers right away. I bought the Blue Phoenix color and light really sets it off. A nice feeder at the price point. Would recommend." - Laura

#12 That Thing You Keep Meaning To Buy To Stop Your Purse From Tumbling Into The Abyss Of The Passenger Footwell Is Probably This Car Seat Headrest Hook

Review: "These are great! Very easy to slip on and easy to rotate when someone needs the passenger seat. My husband will hang his 2L water bottle from it, full of water, and it barely flinches. They match the seat colors pretty well, too! I was kind of concerned that adding weight to the hook would push the hook into the seat and may eventually “dent” the seat, but it doesn’t seem to be doing that at all. Getting more to use as stocking stuffers!" - Heather

Review: "I left the product on for 2 days with the washer door open before cleaning off. It’s a little bit trivial to get it all off depending on how your washing is designed. I cleaned off the set up gel then ran a cycle with the Active cleaning tabs. For us this worked really well and combined with the tabs the washer is good as new. Laundry smells fresh! Good value for the cost too!" - Kevin C

#21 Everyone Wants Their Kitchen To Look Like It's Straight Out Of A Fancy Magazine, And These Under Cabinet Lights Are A Surprisingly Easy Way To Do It

Review: "Love them so far. Just installed last night. Easy install, just used the adhesive on the magnetic strips and did not screw into cabinets. These lights are light enough that I don’t foresee me needing to screw them in. They are very bright and the motion sensor is sensitive enough to pick me up walking toward the kitchen counter. Also the thin design keeps me from seeing them as I walk to the counter. I placed the pretty much in the center under the cabinet." - Mikhail Guivehchi
