    Just 17 Incredible Amazon Products I Tried And Loved In January

    Almost all of these are under a tenner!

    1. These inexpensive lil' razors removed my unwanted brow hairs and peach fuzz hassle-free.

    After multiple failed attempts to thread my brows and upper lip (yup) at home, I finally gave up and tried these highly-rated razors instead. I was seriously impressed by the results – they were really precise, and they made my skin smoother too!

    Price: £3.59 for six.

    2. My hair has gotten ridiculously long recently, and it was starting to strain my scalp when I tied it up. These coiled hair ties distribute the pressure from my ponytail evenly so I don't have to face as many headaches during the day!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    They're made from solid rings of plastic, making them way less likely to snap or break apart than regular clasp hair ties. As if that wasn't enough, their coiled structure also prevents my ponytail from pulling on my scalp no matter how high up I tie it!

    Price: £3.49 for ten.

    3. I like to pop one of these velvet scrunchies over my coiled hair ties for extra ~glamour~ and volume.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    Their soft material looks *and* feels incredibly luxurious, and I love their gorgeous colours! Plus, they add some serious height to my ponytail (Ariana who?!).

    Price: £3.99 for eight.

    4. I'm absolutely obsessed with this tarot-style tapestry! It covered up one of the bland AF walls of my rented room without causing me to risk my deposit.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    It's 1) bloody massive, 2) impressively cheap, and 3) completely machine-washable — I mean, what's not to love?

    Price: £11.99 for a 1.5x1.3m tapestry.

    5. This mermaid-esque nail polish from Rimmel boosts my mood every time I wear it.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    This fintastic (I'm so sorry) nail polish dried in about a minute, and two weeks after applying it, my home manicure still looks fresh.

    Price: £2.54.

    6. I share my shower with a lot of other long-haired people, so you can imagine how happy I was to find this extra-powerful drain unblocking fluid.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I poured both parts of its two-component formula down the affected drain one after the other, waited for about an hour, and then simply rinsed the hair blockage away (and yes, it was exactly as satisfying as it sounds).

    Price: £6.00.

    7. This ridiculously cheap liquid eyeliner has replaced my previous pricier faves.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    Other cheap eyeliners I've tried have gone flaky and had a washed-out colour, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered how pigmented and long-lasting this one is. Its fine nib is incredibly precise!

    Price: £3.64.

    8. My skin has become so much smoother and bouncier since I started using this moisturising retinol cream!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    This luxuriously thick cream is packed full of brightening vitamin C and moisturising hyaluronic acid, so it's no wonder that my skin has improved so much since I started using it! The retinol in here chemically exfoliates, banishing dead cells from my face and revealing the brighter, fresher-looking layer underneath.

    Price: £6.99.

    9. I've been wowed by how well this long-wear Infallible concealer by L'Oreal disguises the bags under my eyes (it's a great dupe for Tarte's 'Shape Tape' IMO).

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    My dark circles are very noticeable, so I'll try basically anything that claims to cover them up. This brightening concealer is high-coverage but doesn't settle into the lines under my eyes, and it's not drying either!

    Price: £10.00 – it's available in 20 different shades.

    10. This adjustable bed desk has made my WFH experience that little bit more bearable.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    There came a point where I had to get real with myself about spending most of my work day in bed, and that's when I bought this desk. It's made typing about 2,500% more comfortable for me! It also gives me a place to put my food so that I don't have to face a crumb-filled duvet, and its adjustable panel allows me to view movies while lying down too (ugh, the dream).

    Price: £21.97.

    11. I swear by this inexpensive vitamin C serum to brighten and exfoliate my skin!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I only need to use a few drops of this stuff to benefit from its smoothing formula! The serum contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and jojoba oil too.

    Price: £6.87.

    12. And Garnier's 'Moisture Bomb' sheet mask left my face looking smoother and more hydrated.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I peeled its backing off, applied it to my face, and then left it there for 15 minutes. Its soothing formula was incredibly calming, and it made my skin feel soft and bouncy!

    Price: £1.99.

    13. This 'Living the Dream' dry shampoo from TIGI Bed Head pretty much became my ride or die the instant I started using it.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    It doesn't feel heavy or itchy on my scalp, and it makes my day-three hair look fresher and more volumised in literal seconds!

    Price: £1.62.

    14. I'm never short of easy (and delicious) dinner ideas thanks to Wagamama's Feed Your Soul recipe book.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I was starting to get pretty bored of my regular meal rotation, so I bought this recipe book to encourage me to cook something new. I now use it almost every evening — the recipes are super simple to follow, and they really do taste like they just came from the restaurant itself!

    Price: £14.46 for a hardcover copy.

    15. This inexpensive tripod has totally transformed my video calls, and its remote control function is perfect for selfies.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    Now that video calling is the main way I connect to friends and family, I thought it'd be a good idea for me to invest in a tripod (goodbye tired forearms and shaky shots). Not only does this one have handy adjustable legs that I can bend to fit the surface I'm resting it on, I can take pictures from a distance too thanks to its Bluetooth-activated remote control!

    Price: £9.37.

    16. I only have to use these inexpensive teeth-whitening strips once a week to enjoy their brightening effect.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I really want whiter, brighter teeth, but the idea of using teeth-whitening strips twice a day seems totally unrealistic to me. These weekly ones are the perfect solution – three sessions in, I've already seen a huge difference! I left them on my teeth for about 25 minutes before removing them and brushing the residue away.

    Price: £4.98 for 14 pairs.

    17. These plastic drain covers protect my sink's plughole without getting rusty or scratching up my sink like metal versions can. I find that they're way easier to remove than the regular kinds too!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    I've mentioned before that I live with other people, and as it happens we all like to cook! That means the sink is always at risk of blockage from food scraps, so I thought I'd prevent any issues before they start by nabbing these inexpensive strainers. Not only have I been amazed by how much debris they've kept out of my drains (was all that really doing down my plugholes before?!), I love how easy they are to remove and empty too — food doesn't get caught in between their slots, and their plastic material is easy to wipe clean.

    Price: £2.99 for two.

    Me to everyone who doesn't already have these products:
