42 Brilliant Products Trending On Amazon With Tons Of Glowing Reviews
How psyched can people really get about face washes, rubber massage balls, and over-the-door hampers? Pretty darn psyched, apparently, because these trending things on Amazon have tons of glowing reviews. After taking a look at the reviews sections, I'm reminded of the enthusiasm that accompanied the release of Furbies or Tamagotchis — except this time, they're a lot more practical. People are just so excited about these genius products that they can't help but share just how much their lives have improved on a daily basis. Still skeptical? Well, most of them have thousands of fantastic reviews.
With millions and millions of products available on Amazon, it's pretty difficult to get any recognition at all. Some listings go forever untouched, the "be the first to review this item" button staring a shopper in the face — or at least it would be, if any shoppers cared to look. The fact that these products have so many darn reviews is actually really impressive. Not only have they made their way into countless households, but people were so impressed, they took time out of their busy schedules to rate and review. Like, for free. And if you've spent any time on the internet at all, you know that people can be pretty brutal with their opinions. So go ahead: Check out these products that will actually improve your life, according to the people who already own them.

5. This Clue-Filled Social Word Game That Reviewers Are Obsessing Over
In this social word game, two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents, but everyone else only knows the codenames.

10. The Natural Sponges Made From The Root Of The Konjac Plant
Beauty by Earth Konjac Facial Sponge, $10 (2 Pack), Amazon
Unlike loofahs that irritate skin and harbor bacteria, these konjac sponges are a gentle and safe way to exfoliate. They're made from the root of the konjac plant, which has a cake-like consistency when wet and is alkaline to balance the skin's pH. This set comes with two sponges — one additive-free one for sensitive skin, and one infused with bamboo charcoal to pull impurities out of pores. Reviewers say things like "I expected them to be more rough and scratchy, like loofah, but once they're fully hydrated and softened the inside gets a thick gel-like consistency. It creates a slip effect that is more noticeable when used without soap, and helps the sponge glide over your skin and buff away dead cells without causing irritation or sensitivity."
11. This Mini Straightening Iron, Because "Travel-Friendly" Doesn't Have To Mean Poor Quality
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Mini Straightening Iron, $22, Amazon
It might be tiny, but despite its size, some reviewers use this BaBylissPRO mini straightening iron even when they're not traveling.

And of course, it also has dual voltage for worldwide usage.

16. This Fractionated Coconut Oil That Always Stays In A Liquid State, So It's Way Easier To Work With
ArtNaturals Premium Fractionated Coconut Oil, $11, Amazon
Coconut oil is great for most beauty-related routines, but it's also a mess to work with. Unlike regular coconut oil, this ArtNaturals fractionated oil stays liquid no matter what, absorbs into skin and hair more easily, and works extremely well as a carrier oil.
