30+ Amazon Products We've Tried & Love to Use

We love how clever this snap-on pasta strainer is. It clips right to the side of a pan or bowl, and with just a tilt, you have freshly strained pasta. It is convenient, useful, and durable. It's perfect for cooks who want to save space. - Amanda R.

Poor water pressure in your shower? Get ready to love showering again with this luxury shower head. Citing poor water pressure in her shower, Cindy G. was so excited to try the Spark Pod Shower Head. It’s so easy to install, and according to Cindy, it made an instant difference. “Wow! What a difference this new shower head makes. It truly is luxurious! It has definitely improved the water pressure, as well.”

This overnight lip moisturizer promises smoother, softer lips, and my experience supports that. I do like that it comes with a small applicator, so you don't have to put your fingers in the pot. A little bit goes a long way for me. My first attempt, I scooped out a generous amount, and it was far too much. I am overly sensitive to tactile feelings, so that was an immediate no for me. It was sticky and uncomfortable, and I immediately had to wipe it off. I did try again with a very conservative amount, and it was so much better. It lasted on my lips all night, and I did wake up with softer, hydrated lips. It has become part of my nightly bedtime routine. - Shannon W.

After years of using loofahs, I was looking for something more. My skin didn’t feel as smooth as it used to after my showers. That’s when I found this washcloth. After one use, I was hooked. This exfoliating towel leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. The towel's long length makes it easy to scrub those hard-to-reach spots on my back without any awkward acrobatics. Even my husband loves it. -Christina B

If you’re already obsessed with the milk_shake whipped cream leave-in foam like I am, let me introduce you to its equally fabulous sibling — the milk_shake leave-in conditioner spray. It’s got that same dreamy, heavenly scent (seriously, why can’t all hair products smell this good?) and does an amazing job of controlling frizz without weighing my hair down.

Now, if I had to choose, I’d say I still love the foam just a tiny bit more because it gives me slightly better coverage. But, this spray is still a winner and definitely worth having in your haircare lineup. - Cheryl K.

I like this hair tonic! It felt like my thinning hair looked fuller! I love the fact that you can apply the product on wet or dry hair since I only wash my hair every other day. My hair did not look greasy or like I had put a product in it — love that. This product did not irritate my scalp, which was wonderful. My hair started to thin post Covid, and I have been searching for a product to help my hair look thicker and fuller. This helped. - Beck S.

As a person who gets a regular period, it's been a struggle to find the right products, but over time, I've managed to source a great organic pad option. The company also makes tampons if that's more your style, but these clean cotton pads are highly absorbent, comfortable, and really stay in place for as long as you need. - Amanda E.

I recently turned a bedroom into a closet, and while I LOVE the whole closet, the thing I'm most excited about is this telescoping valet rod. I added it to the side of a closet unit, and I can pull it out, hang a garment, and steam my clothes right in my closet! I can also use it to pull out outfits and hang them temporarily while I pack. Then, the rod tucks back away so I won't put my eye out. Love, love, love this! - Karen F.

These pimple patches were so easy to use and effective. They were also comfortable. I can't wait to use them again. - Jennifer W.

This heat protectant spray goes on as a fine mist. It is a lightweight formula that does not feel sticky once it has been applied. I have fine hair, and some products make it feel weighed down. This one does not. My hair felt smooth and silky after blow-drying it with very few flyaways, which was a plus. The product states that it improves split ends by 86% after one use, and I am on board with that statistic. - Jenny J.

We all remember the Olaplex craze, but did you know that there's something new on the market? It's really great, transforming dye-damaged hair in under four minutes. Simply apply the leave-in hair mask post-shower (don't forget to forego conditioner!) and let the formula work to physically repair your hair. Yes, it really is that fantastic! - Amanda E.

Everyone wants to feel safe in their home or away in a hotel room, and sometimes that requires adding an additional lock to your door. This particular device doesn't require any tools to secure and it can be installed in seconds, adding another layer of lockage and security so you can sleep with peace of mind. - Amanda E.

I received the Beauty by Earth organic lip scrub in vanilla scent/flavour. First impression when opening the jar is the scent is divine! It is similar to other lip scrubs I have tried, where you apply a bit of product to your lips, give it a scrub, and rinse. I am in the midst of a cold bitter Canadian winter, and while I never leave without chapstick, my lips have still taken the toll of the cold bitter dry weather. The product had a nice gentle scrub feeling — not too abrasive but enough to be effective in smoothing out all the rough spots. After a quick rinse, my lips felt smooth and hydrated. The formulation contains beeswax, oils, and vitamin E, which all work together nicely to leave your lips in great condition. Bonus that the ingredients are organic and plant-based vegan. Overall, great product. A little goes a long way, so although the tub is on the smaller size, it should last quite a long time if using per directions. I will definitely be re-purchasing once I finish this jar. - Shannon W.

I used this lash conditioner and was shocked to see a difference in one week! I used the lash conditioner every morning and, within one week, saw results. - Laura S.

This nifty storage holder is a be-all-end-all I rely on to keep my plethora of bobby pins in one place. Gone are the days of searching fruitlessly for a stray bobby pin! With this magnetic invention, I always know where to find a daily pin. Plus, it also works for paperclips and sewing needs, too! - Amanda E.

I used to be someone who stacked t-shirts, tank tops, and the like in messy stacks. Ever since my friend introduced me to drawer dividers, my life has changed for the better. The malleable dividers sit in each drawer and make it so simple to quickly roll up a t-shirt or section off socks in a seamless way. - Amanda E.

Wow! My eyelashes are a lot more sparse as I've gotten older (I'm in my early 50s now), and this mascara was a game-changer. It almost looked like I was wearing false eyelashes after applying it. (My eyelids even felt a little heavier, like how they feel when I wear falsies). Let's start with the packaging — this is a very upscale-looking product in a brushed bronze metal tube. The applicator brush is an odd shape, with longer bristles at the end and thinner in the middle. It took a little getting used to applying without clumping, but when I took my time, I realized I could fully coat each of my lashes evenly with the mascara, even the shorter lashes closer to my inner eye, which made them seem fuller and longer. The mascara did a great job at staying put, too, although I don't think it is technically waterproof, at the end of the day, my lashes still looked great, and there were no telltale smudges under my eyes. - Jessica H.

I do yoga at home daily, and I need something that'll protect my sensitive knees. This plush yoga mat is perfect. It's thick enough that my knees are protected without having to fold it over, but it's not so thick that I struggle to hold balancing poses. Plus, it lasts a really long time before you need to replace it. - Karen F.

As someone who hikes frequently, I'm always on the lookout for hiking pants that'll make my experience even better. I often hike in leggings, which aren't ideal since many lack pockets, and sometimes they start to fall down as I hike. But these hiking pants are perfect! They have great pockets, they wick sweat, and the drawstring keeps them firmly in place. Plus, they're lightweight and super comfortable, and they're durable. They're the perfect pants for every outdoor adventure. - Karen F.

I have grandkids and adult children, so the car gets packed quickly. I thought this cup holder tray would be perfect for small or large road trips or if I was just working in my car between appointments. I love the length of the arm, the swiveling capabilities, and the size of the tray. However, I wish the base was weighted so it stayed more stable and stationary in the cup holder. - Kimberly B.

This eye cream stick is so clever, I don't know why more companies don't design AM/PM treatment products like this! I love having specific eye cream formulations for day and night in one compact product that's easy to pack for traveling. The double-sided stick is clearly marked so you know which side to use in the morning and evening, and the product itself is shaped like a lipstick, with a beveled surface, so it is easy to apply. I was worried that a stick formula (rather than a cream) would be difficult to apply, but the consistency is very creamy, and the stick glides over the skin smoothly, without any sort of pulling sensation. It doesn't feel greasy, but it sinks in quickly so you can apply makeup or the rest of your skincare products right afterward. After using it for a few weeks, my skin looks less crepey and feels great. It might be my imagination, but I think my fine lines are a little improved, as well. - Jessica H.

These laundry detergent sheets work well on stains compared to traditional detergent. My kids appreciate that the scent isn’t overwhelming. - Mary C.

This spray is now a daily used skincare product! During the winter months, my skin can get dry and spotty. This is the perfect refresh to moisturize and kill acne-causing bacteria. I use it after any physical activity. I’ve noticed some of my dark spots look lighter. My skin feels smoother and looks clearer. The travel-size product is perfect; I keep one in my purse and one at home. There is a very subtle smell, almost like chlorine, but the smell disappears after drying. - Koryne K.

I love this body scrub! I live in Michigan, and the winters are brutal on our skin. My skin gets dry and flaky. This organic body scrub moisturized and hydrated my skin. I love the peppermint smell. I feel like I’m at a spa while using the scrub! I feel great using this product frequently due to its organic ingredients. My legs and feet feel moisturized and smooth after showering! - Beck S.

I absolutely love this collagen body oil. I’m zooming in on 60, and I’ve started noticing crepey skin all over the place. I love to smooth on this oil right out of the shower to tighten and moisturize my skin and help it defy gravity for a few years longer. – Karen F.

I absolutely love these Pink Stuff Squeezy Sponges. They're abrasive enough that they'll scrub away stuck on grime (take that, chili that has baked onto my Le Creuset pot) but not so harsh that they'll scratch. These are my go-to scrubbers for just about every stain and every surface. - Karen F.

I have been using this hyaluronic acid serum now for about four months along with a C cream moisturizer. It feels really nice going on, and I do feel like my skin tone has evened out some with this product. My fine lines may be less noticeable. I am 73 and am including a photo. - Jan G.

I have never used an eyeshadow primer before, but it works well! It definitely helps your eye shadow color stand out more and go one easier and last longer. The product itself feels really nice going on and doesn’t get caked in the creases. - Taylor M.

Absolutely love this sheet set. I am often skeptical when I get sheet sets online as we have a tall mattress with an additional foam topper, and the fitted sheet often won't fit properly despite the claim of the16-inch depth. Well, these ones fit great. The fabric is soft and comfortable to sleep on. You also don't get "hot" when sleeping on them and on the pillowcases. Now, I wouldn't say they are cooling per se, but your sleeping temperature isn't hot in these either. The option of so many colours is fantastic to fit in with any decor or preference. I've been sold on these. - Callie B.

This wireless meat thermometer is the temperature probe I've sought for years but never found. You can leave the probe in the meat while it's in the oven and monitor it on the base station at 500 feet away or on the app even farther! There are two probes, so you can cook two meats at the same time. I love that I can always get my roast out of the oven at the exact right moment. No more overcooked meat for us. - Karen F.

I own a German Shepherd dog, and so have purchased more than one pet hair removal device in the past couple of years, but the Chom Chom roller is one of the few that actually works! It reminds me of a lint roller in the sense that I can roll away fuzz and pet hair off of my couch, clothing, rug, etc. quickly. It helps make clean-up a lot easier with a pet, and makes vacuuming less of a chore. Plus, I don't have to clean or replace it - I just toss the hair out of the small compartment when I'm done. - Amanda E.

These shirts are amazingly soft and comfortable. Great fit. True to size! Definitely a staple that everyone needs in their closet. - Taylor M.
