These 40 Highly-Rated Products On Amazon Seriously Deserve 6 Stars

If I could give Meryl Streep 100 Oscars, I would. If I could give my favorite coworker a significant raise, I also would. And if I could give these highly-rated products on Amazon six stars, well... I'd do that, too. But alas, Amazon puts a cap of five stars on product ratings, so you'll just have to believe me when I say that they deserve six out of five stars.

These products are a step above the rest, inspiring thousands of reviewers to go through the trouble of posting ratings and writing reviews that let the rest of us know just how good they are — and I appreciate that. (Hey, it makes my job easy.)

And while you might think that a product deserving of six stars might have a hefty price tag to go along with it, think again. Believe it or not, all of these products are surprisingly affordable. That means you can do a lot of shopping and still have money to eat out at that six-star restaurant you've been meaning to try. (Is that a thing?)

Anyway, go ahead and check out these outstanding and underrated products; you just might end up writing a review, too.

Lifestyle — These 40 Highly-Rated Products On Amazon Seriously Deserve 6 Stars

1. This Silky Coconut Oil For Smooth Skin And Lustrous Locks

This coconut oil is made from 100% raw, natural, virgin coconut oil — and it's silkier and more lightweight than the coconut oil you might find on a grocery store shelf. That, of course, makes it ideal for hair and skincare. Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, the oil can be used as a face and body moisturizer, a deep hair conditioner, makeup remover, shave oil, or a base for homemade deodorant.

2. A Flat Brush For Flawless Foundation Application

With over 12,000 reviews and a high rating, this foundation brush will give you impressive results at a cheap cost. The Kabuki-style brush features dense and silky synthetic bristles that flawlessly apply powder, cream, and liquid foundation. The bristles are vegan- and cruelty-free, and they won't trap or absorb foundation. Plus, that copper-ringed wooden handle looks (and feels) like pure luxury.

3. The Packing Cubes That Help You Squeeze More Into Your Suitcase

Squeeze more into your suitcase with these packing cubes that compress your clothes when you zip them shut. The cubes are made from tear-resistant nylon with mesh tops, so you can see exactly what's inside. Each set comes with four cubes of different sizes.

4. This Microwave Popcorn Popper That Collapses For Easy Storage

The popper is also dishwasher-safe and available in 12 vibrant colors.

5. A Super Lightweight Backpack That Folds Up Small

This super lightweight, packable backpack folds up small, taking up minimal space in your luggage. However, it's still durable enough to hold plenty of gear once you unfold it and put it on. Made from water- and tear-resistant nylon, the backpack has three zippered compartments and elastic mesh pockets on the sides for water bottles and snacks. Choose from colors like gray, pink, and army green.

6. A Personal Water Filter That Lets You Drink From Rivers And Lakes

10. A Slim Travel Belt That's Invisible Under Clothes

Keep your passport, cash, and credit cards where no one can get to them with this travel money belt.

Both tools are made from natural, high-quality Xinjiang jade from Southwest China.
