We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Whenever I'm about a week away from having to pay my credit card bill, I usually check to see what the current balance is (morbid curiosity). If it happens to be lower than I expected, I can spend a little extra on surprisingly useful Amazon products that I can get decent use out of.

Who could say no to a pair of super-cute oven mitts shaped like bear paws or a portable infusion smoker that you can use on meats and cocktails? Not only are these some of the most genius products on Amazon, but they're the kind of impulse buys that you won't regret.

Lifestyle — 44 Of The Coolest Products On Amazon That You Never Knew Existed

1. A Rinse-Out Lamellar That Leaves Your Hair Silkier

While this lamellar treatment may look like just water, it actually turns into a nourishing foam when coming in contact with wet hair.

Massaging it in for just eight seconds will leave you with visibly more shiny and healthy-looking hair.

2. An Eyebrow Pen That Creates Life-Like Hair Strokes

This eyebrow pen, unlike most on the market, has a unique tip design made with three ridges to replicate the look of real hair strokes. From this, the gel tint is released and applied in a more natural-looking way. The long-lasting formula won’t smudge or fade throughout the day — even when sweating in the hot sun. For help creating shape, this kit comes with three eyebrow stencils and a razor to clean up any strays.

3. An Ergonomic Neck Pillow That's Filled With Memory Foam
