19 Amazon Products That’ll Make Your Life Easier

This lighting find has proven to me that I can absolutely have it all. This handy set comes with six lights, corresponding batteries, mounting tape, and a remote control. Just pick where you need some extra lighting (whether that’s inside a closet or underneath cabinets), apply the mounting tape, and press. You can control the lights with a simple tap, via a timed schedule, or through its dimmable remote control. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This 2.5 gallon pouch is a simple, yet discreet way to keep your car tidy. It has an adjustable strap along the top, so you can store it at your glove box, door, console, or back of the seats. It’s made of a durable, waterproof material, but mostly we love that there’s a removable inner liner so you don’t have to take the entire bin out of your car when emptying. Plus, there’s a secure lid to ensure any odors don’t linger. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Skimm’rs put this shower gel on our radar and now I’m desperate to get my hands on it. It’s packed with lemongrass, tea tree oil, and aloe that’ll soothe and deodorize your skin.

I struggle with strawberry skin and keratosis pilaris, and this exfoliator from First Aid Beauty has been a lifesaver. I have sensitive skin and find that this one isn’t too intense. I just mix it with a little bit of water in the shower and massage it all over my body. Because it’s both a physical and chemical exfoliant, I’ve noticed results after a couple uses. This bundle even comes with a travel-sized version. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I was shocked to discover that the social media-popular jewelry brand, Ana Luisa, is on Amazon. This pair of earrings have been sitting in my cart for a bit because of their two-in-one design. You can wear them as is, or take off the cabled pieces and wear the oblong hoops on their own. They’re hypoallergenic, water-resistant, and won’t tarnish on you. Plus, they’re 14-karat plated and under $100 (so they’re ideal for any last-minute gifting moments). ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I’m always looking for a good pimple patch, and I’m intrigued by these for their ingredients. They’re your typical hydrocolloid patches, but they’re made of tea tree oil and calendula to minimize spots. These are small and nearly invisible, so you can wear them out and most likely no one will notice. A major perk: They’re FSA- and HSA-eligible. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I’ve raved about Casper’s eye mask in the past for its thick band, but it’s currently out of stock. This one from Baloo is a similar option. It’s super soft, and you don’t have to worry about it creasing your hair. What makes this one a bit more luxurious than the Casper one is that it’s weighted and has a pocket that holds the crystal that it comes with. Most importantly, it’ll block out light.
