CRZ Yoga Butterluxe High-Waisted Lounge Legging
During the cooler months, Brach swears by these "squat-proof" leggings, which she thinks look way more luxe and expensive than they are. They're made with the brand's "butterluxe" fabric, which is buttery soft and extra stretchy, but with gentle compression. With over two dozen colors to chose from, these leggings are a bestseller, having garnered over 9,000 customer ratings.
Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion Foundation
This TikTok-viral Korean cushion foundation has taken the internet by storm, and it's probably unlike any foundation you've tried before. Brach says the key is to use the included applicator to pat — don't swipe or rub — the foundation onto your skin and continue to tap it in to blend. The result? A semi-matte finish that feels weightless and lasts all day. The compact size makes it ideal for throwing in your purse for on-the-go touch-ups, and it now comes in 40 diverse shades.
L’Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist
Need your makeup to last through your 9-to-5 and your 5-to-9? This newly launched setting spray from L'Oréal Paris gets the job done. It's sort of like hairspray for locking in your makeup. A single, three-second spray from twelve inches away covers your entire face, and the brand claims that it dries instantly with no greasy feeling. Brach loves that it comes out in a fine, continuous mist, rather than spitting or bursting out in uneven spritzes, and claims to be transfer-proof and water-resistant for up to 36 hours.
Loop Quiet Ear Plugs
These editor-approved reusable earplugs are great for getting better sleep, tuning out on airplane rides, protecting your hearing during loud concerts and more. Don't just take our word for it, though — they've earned more than 50,000 perfect five-star ratings on Amazon. Because they come in four different size ear tips, the brand says you can find the most comfortable fit that won't stick out of your ears or fall out, and we love the silicone loop which makes them super easy to pull out of your ears.
Bed Sheet Organizer Bands (Set of 4)
This $10 trick solves the problem of figuring out which bed your sheets belong to and helps organize your linen closet. Brach says they're so simple to use — just fold the sheets like you normally would, and then slip this bedding band over the set. It's also great for spare comforters and duvets, mattress protectors and other bed linens.
Refrigerator Deodorizer
Say goodbye to funky smelling fridges once and for all! Ditch the baking soda you need to replace every three months with this stainless steel deodorizer that the brand says lasts for ten years. It has more than 5,000 ratings from customers, who say it helped eliminate pungent odors from foods like raw onions, sauerkraut, shrimp, broccoli and more. According to the brand, it helps to decompose harmful gasses released from produce, leftovers and more to eliminate odors from the source and can actually even help extend the life of your food so it stays fresh longer.

With more than 100,000 ratings on Amazon, this neat cleaning tool is beloved by pet parents.

Plus, it has a built-in squeegee, so you can even use it to clean up spills and build-up on tile, showers, windows and windshields.
