If you’re ready to shake things up a little, I’ve combed Amazon for unusual products that are so good they have nearly perfect reviews. These 60 eccentric things range from unusual beauty products, like a cult-fave lipstick that’s two shades in one, to offbeat products for your car and home. Even better, everything costs less than $50, with most items under the $20 mark.
