Who Knew — 48 Of Amazon’s Most Brilliant Finds Are All Under $5

Start Super Bright Flashlight, $2, Amazon

You really can't beat $2 when it comes to a flashlight with as many options as the Start super bright flashlight has — not only are there three different brightness modes to choose from, but the ultra-clear glass lens means that this light appears even brighter than you'd expect. Perfect for hiking, camping, or keeping in your car for emergencies, this flashlight is the perfect lightweight addition to any backpack or emergency kit.

Elegant Comfort Egyptian Quality Pillowcases, $4 (2 Pack), Amazon

These pillowcases are as soft as 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton, but made from plush microfiber instead. Wrinkle- and stain-resistant, one Amazon reviewer raved: "These are really nice, soft pillowcases! I've washed them many times and they're still good as new, I don't think they've faded at all."

Mikey Store Pet Egg Whisk, $3, Amazon

Whenever you're beating an egg, you want to get it whipped enough that you see little bubbles forming, which can be difficult to achieve by hand — so use the Mikey Store Pet egg whisk instead. All you have to do is push down on the handle to make the stainless steel whisk spin, giving you whipped foods with half the effort on your part.

XISS Facial Hair Remover Tool, $5, Amazon

Whereas bleaching and creams can leave your skin irritated and red, the XISS facial hair remover tool uses zero chemicals and produces results that last up to six weeks. Since it's small and easy to carry, you can keep this tool in your purse for any stray hairs that may pop up while you're out, and because the hair you remove with this tool grows back thinner over time, you'll be saving yourself time and effort in the long run.

qqyl Cell Phone Holder Ring, $5, Amazon

Not only will it help protect your phone from being shattered if you drop it, but the qqyl cell phone holder ring also lets you operate your phone with one hand, and lets you rotate your phone 360-degrees. The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use, and you can also use the ring as support to stand your phone up while watching videos.

IKEA Egg Slicer, $5, Amazon

Great for hardboiled eggs, soft cheese, or even avocados, the IKEA egg slicer will cut through through soft food and produce uniform, perfect slices. The entire gadget is dishwasher-safe, which makes it easy to clean, and the steel frame is removable in case you want to get into every nook and cranny. One Amazon reviewer even said that it "works beautifully," and that "it's very cute."

L.A. Girl Pro HD Concealer, $4, Amazon

Makeup is generally crazy expensive, yet the L.A. Girl pro HD concealer has over 900 positive four- and five-star reviews at only $4. Creamy yet opaque so that you get excellent coverage, this concealer is lightweight so that your pores don't feel clogged, and is great for camouflaging dark circles under your eyes as well as any unwanted redness in your skin — and it's even got a brush tip for easy application.

Ucio Heavy Duty Vegetable Slicer, $5, Amazon

There are plenty of vegetable slicers that can't handle denser vegetables like potatoes and carrots — but the Ucio heavy duty vegetable slicer is not one of them. This slicer comes with a veggie grip cap for when your produce becomes too small to hold, and it can both slice and spiralize food. And if spiralized vegetables don't sound appetizing, try spiralizing zucchini with your favorite pasta for an added serving of veggies.

Morris Compression Knee Supports, $5 (1 Pair), Amazon

Each order comes with two sleeves, and you can use the Morris compression knee supports to help keep your knees, elbows, and even ankles from being injured while exercising. Don't exercise? Not a problem— I like to use compression knee supports when I'm going for long walks, since the added pressure helps boost blood circulation and reduce any swelling. Bonus: if you've got sore knees after a long day these are a great, chemical-free way to relieve some pain.

NPLE Silicone Anti-Spill Mouth, $2, Amazon

Whenever you're trying to transfer liquids from a pot to a bowl you're more often than not going to wind up spilling some of it, whether you're using a ladle or simply trying to pour it out— so save yourself the mess by using the NPLE silicone anti-spill mouth instead. This handy tool attaches to the edge of almost any pot so that you can easily pour soups and more into bowls without any spills, and because it's made from silicone it's also dishwasher safe!

Alcyoneus Sleep Masks, $5 (2 Pack), Amazon

Whereas some sleep masks will let light in through the nose because there's a gap between the mask and your skin, the Alcyoneus sleep masks are designed with a contoured shape so that not only is there no pressure on your eyes, but they are also completely covered so that no light can peek in. The adjustable buckle lets you control how tight you'd like the mask, and the breathable material won't leave your eyes feeling smothered.

TraveT Multifunctional Lid And Spoon Holder, $5, Amazon

Taking off the lid on a pot and resting it down on the counter will (more often than not) leave you with a ring of liquid on your countertop, adding yet another thing to clean when you're done cooking. However, with the TraveT multifunctional lid and spoon holder, you now have a convenient rack that'll hold your dirty lid while you stir, and even a ladle or spoon as well. And because it's compatible with most lid sizes, you can rest easy that it'll fit the lids in your kitchen with ease.

MEDca Metatarsal Foot Pads, $5 (1 Pair), Amazon

Great for relieving pain from plantar fasciitis, metatarsal aggravation, or just regular old foot pain in general, the MEDca metatarsal foot pads stick to the inside of your shoes and work as a cushion for the balls of your feet — absorbing shocks and keeping your knees and feet feeling great all day. They're antimicrobial so that your feet won't get sweaty rubbing up against them, and unlike other gel foot pads, these ones don't create odors.

Cliganic Pointed Precision Tweezers, $5, Amazon

Not only are they made from surgical grade stainless steel, but the Cliganic pointed precision tweezers are designed with perfectly-aligned tips so plucking unwanted hairs is an accurate, easy task. Durable and easy to clean, these tweezers can be used for ingrown hairs, eyebrow plucking, or splinters — and one Amazon reviewer even wrote: "I would not hesitate to recommend these to friends or family!"

TONSEE Foldable Funnel, $4, Amazon

I spent years trying to carefully pour liquids into bottles without a funnel, spilling most of what I had and wiping up mess after mess —so be better than me. The TONSEE foldable funnel is only $4, and is made out of silicone which makes it heat-resistant so you can even use it with hot soups. And because it's collapsible, this funnel will barely take up any space in your drawers and cabinets.

LaCasa Scalpmaster Shampoo Brush, $4, Amazon

Shampoo brushes are great for distributing shampoo evenly so that your scalp and hair get a great, refreshing clean, and for the price, you really can't go wrong with the LaCasa scalpmaster shampoo brush. This brush has a finger hole so that it's easy to grip while wet in the shower, and one Amazon reviewer even raved that the brush was helping with her thinning hair because it stimulates hair growth.

Cool-Essential Silicone Dish Sponge, $4 (3 Pack), Amazon

Regular sponges quickly become harbors for mold, mildew, and potentially harmful bacteria — but with the Cool-Essential dish sponge you can prevent germs from spreading around your kitchen, because it's made from antimicrobial silicone. Even though it's marketed mainly as a dish sponge, these sponges can also be used as trivets since they're heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and they won't absorb any gross odors either.

COSRX Acne Pimple Patch, $5 (24 Patches), Amazon

Having a random pimple pop up can be annoying, so keep the COSRX acne pimple patch on hand for any acne emergencies. This patch sticks to your skin and absorbs toxins from whiteheads and popped zits, allowing the acne to flatten out and become less noticeable. Once the patch turns white, all you have to do is peel it off and the redness and pus will have disappeared.

HeroNeo Stainless Steel Soap, $4, Amazon

It's marketed as stainless steel soap, because that's sort of what it is — while it won't lather up under water, the HeroNeo stainless steel soap removes any unwanted odors like onions, fish, garlic, and more from your hands just by rubbing it on them under cold water. Odorous ingredients give off sulfur that sticks to your hands, but the stainless steel attracts and binds to that sulfur, which removes the smell your skin.

Kshion Teeth Whitening Powder, $3, Amazon

I use activated charcoal to whiten my teeth, and I can wholeheartedly say that powders like the Kshion teeth whitening powder actually work. This powder helps remove coffee and smoking stains from your teeth, or in my case, it's great for delivering an overall whitening polish and shine. And while brushing your teeth with charcoal doesn't sound like the most appetizing experience, this powder is infused with an icy, cool taste so that you're not left gagging over your sink.

LKForward_Kitchen Rubber Lid Insert, $2, Amazon

The adorable LKForward_Kitchen rubber lid insert is made to act as a gap holder for lids — and since it's made out of silicone it can withstand high temperatures, and if cooking isn't your forte, these little guys can also be used to prop your phone up so you can watch videos hands-free.

Cinidy Makeup Brush Set, $4 (20 Pieces), Amazon

Cheap makeup brushes have a tendency to shed — which leaves you with hairs strewn throughout your powders and liquids — so try the Cinidy makeup brush set instead. Not only will it not shed, but this set comes with 20 brushes that are constructed with high-quality synthetic hairs that are made to last. "I was worried about the quality due to the low price, but I love them!" one Amazon reviewer raved, going on to say that they are "so soft" and that they "hold powders and liquids well."

Simon Stealz Toothpaste Squeezer, $3 (5 Pack), Amazon

Getting every last drop of toothpaste out of the tube is almost impossible, and throwing it out before it's empty is a waste — so why not use the Simon Stealz toothpaste squeezers to get every last drop? These squeezers saves up to 30 percent of the toothpaste that normally gets wasted in the tube, and each order comes with five squeezers so you can put one on every tube in your house.

Angel Kiss Facial Mask Brush, $5, Amazon

You could spread around clay, masks, peels, or any other skincare products on your face using your hands, or you could use the Angel Kiss facial mask brush and get those smaller sections of your face that blend in with your hair. The bristles are soft and synthetic so that they feel pleasant as they glide across your face, and since the brush isn't all that big, it's also easy to take with you while traveling.

ReNext Makeup Brush Cleaning Tool, $2, Amazon

Leaving leftover makeup caked onto your brushes is a great way to ruin your brushes — but it also allows germs and bacteria to grow as well. So, instead of dropping your brushes the minute you're doing applying makeup, clean them off with the ReNext makeup brush cleaning tool. "This thing gets crud out of makeup brushes like you would not believe," one Amazon reviewer raves. "I use it with castile soap on my brushes weekly, and it is a very effective little tool!"

Luxsea Emergency Survival Bracelet, $4, Amazon

When it says it's great in an emergency, the Luxsea emergency survival bracelet isn't kidding — not only does this bracelet have its own built-in compass so you can always figure out what direction you're going in, but the bracelet itself can be disassembled into one long rope that you can use in any situation. And because the rope is made out of the same rope used on sea ships, it's also resistant to corrosion and frays.

Luxsea Dual-Sided Makeup Brush, $4, Amazon

This Luxsea dual-sided makeup brush will save you a lot of space in your makeup bag — and one side is tapered for contouring and the other is more flat for brush and powder application. Plus, not only do you basically get two brushes for $4, but this brush is even ridiculously cute as well.

Yesker SIM Card Remover Key, $1, Amazon

Designed to be super thin so that it'll fit into any SIM card ejector hole, the Yesker SIM card remover key is lightweight and allows you to remove the SIM card in your phone so that you can replace it with another. Using a bent paperclip can lead to scratches on your phone, so why take the risk when this handy tool is only $1?

Case Star Hard Case For Earbuds, $2, Amazon

While headphones are slightly more sturdy, devices like earbuds are prone to more damage, since they're smaller and can easily get crushed at the bottom of a backpack. Instead of constantly buying new buds, use the Case Star hard case for earbuds to keep your current pair safe. This case has a mesh pocket where you can keep an extra charging cable, and every order comes with its own bag to carry it in.

Generic Stylus For iPhone, $4 (5 Pack), Amazon

Whenever you get a stylus included with your device, you can almost guarantee it's going to go missing within the next week.

The styluses also have a clip, so you might actually get to keep track of them.

Kathson Caddy Soap Holder, $5, Amazon

Letting bottles of soap sit on your countertop always leads to soap rings that can be tough to scrub away. Save yourself the effort with the Kathson caddy soap holder, which fits over your sink divider and can hold your sponges, rags, soaps, and scrubbers.

You always put on sunscreen before going out in the sun, but do you always remember to put it on your lips too? The Sun Bum SPF 30 lip balm is not only sweat- and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, but the formula also uses vitamin E and aloe vera to help moisturize chapped lips while protecting them from the drying effects of the outdoors. This one has a pleasant pomegranate flavor, too.

CJESLNA Easy Holder For Slicing, $4, Amazon

Getting even slices out of tomatoes and onions can be difficult for beginners and professionals alike, so instead of stressing over every cut, use the CJESLNA easy holder for slicing. This handy tool has long prongs that reach deep into vegetables, so your knife is guided as it slices all the way down, leaving you with uniform cuts that aren't lopsided or uneven.

Milliard Spatula Phone And Tablet Stand, $4, Amazon

It's designed to look like a spatula so you can use it as a fun way to hold up recipe cards in your kitchen, but the Milliard spatula phone and tablet stand is sturdy enough that it can also hold tablets and phones as well. And because everybody likes to save precious space in the kitchen, this stand can fold flat for compact storage, or even hang upright on a utensil rack.

Kikkerland Kitchen Cat Timer, $5, Amazon

As far as kitchen timers go, this one is about as "fun" as you can get — and for $5, why not? The Kikkerland kitchen cat timer doesn't have to only be used in the kitchen, as this cute lil' gadget is great for keeping track of absolutely anything. So get creative!

This curler is made from durable stainless steel that won't rust over time, and the curved shape is designed to be able to fit eyes of all shapes — almond, round, hooded — you name it, this curler can take it.

Yoyorule Hair Dryer Rack, $4, Amazon

Made from sturdy aluminum so it won't bend under the weight of even heavier hair dryers, the Yoyorule hair dryer rack easily anchors into your wall so that you have a neat place to keep your hair dryer. And if you're afraid that the installation may be a little complicated, don't fret — one Amazon reviewer noted that the installation was "easy as heck," and that the rack "holds firmly" to the wall.

NaRaMax Folding Hair Brush, $5, Amazon

It doesn't matter how fancy your hairbrush is: if it doesn't fit in your purse, you're probably not going to carry it around solo for those sporadic hair emergencies. Instead, use the NaRaMax folding hair brush. Not only does it fold into itself, but the handle even has its own mirror so that you can check yourself no matter where you are.
