This $9 sheer tint neutral nail polish that dries in one minute is about to be your new signature look 💅.
1. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to keep in all your favorite bags and haunts.
I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5
Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in six other shades).
2. And Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask, which is a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night (just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four flavors).
3. A set of crease-preventing spiral hair ties that not only give your pony that delightful ~oomph~ to elevate it, but stay locked in place. They're also waterproof, which makes them great for exercise (as much as we all love a soggy hair tie on our wrist post-workout 🫠).

Basic Concepts is a small business that specializes in personal care products and home goods.
Promising review: "I'm super picky about what coil hair ties I use but these are by far my fave! I have super thick hair and it holds so well. They are super durable and stretch A LOT, so you can make sure it's holding your hair well." — Gillian D.
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $7.99.
4. Pocket World, a stress relief coloring book for adults full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more.
www.amazon.com
Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront!
Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon!
Promising review:"One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" — Ezra Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
5. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!
I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry.
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest drop from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean.

Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.
Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)!

7. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin.
Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
8. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" — slb m
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
10. An oh-so-sweet 1000-piece macaron puzzle for anyone with a sweet tooth *and* a sweet brain. This one might be a toughie with all the similar colors in the pattern, but the satisfaction you'll get when you finish it is simply delicious.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I liked this puzzle, but it is a challenge. I had to work out a system and saved all the pink, red, lavender, purple pieces for last. You'll also need to check the picture on the box fairly often. But stick with it. It's fun." — Pioneer Woman
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
11. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.70.
12. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.29 (available in two styles).
13. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment, the holy grail of curly hair products — you can either use it as a conditioning treatment, or wear it all day in your curls both to style and condition for all-day hair repair. Reviewers swear by it for healthier, bouncier, more well-defined curls, and love how gently it helps detangle, too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This treatment is for all curl types!
Promising review: "I love this hair conditioner I LITERALLY use it everyDAY! It leaves my hair so soft and my natural curls are so bouncy! I'm in need of more soon! Definitely recommend this to anyone. And it smells so good too!!!" — Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $9.50.
14. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
15. A sardine-themed digital download because now that we are in an era of "sardines as decor," we need to embrace it with every brine-y, aesthetic mermaid bone in our BODIES, one piece at a time.

16. A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
17. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works.
Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo
"I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
18. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of eight).
20. A pomade hair wax stick designed to work for all hair types for some residue-free *instant* hold for slick-back ponytails or setting flyaways, cowlicks, and baby hairs into place, if that's the ~look~ you're going for that day. Reviewers note how easy it is to glide over hair and brush back without leaving hair looking greasy or shiny.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
21. A pair of gorgeous kitchen shears that are as functional as they are stunning — reviewers love these all-purpose, super sharp blades for cutting everything from meat and fruit to opening packages and wrangling with complicated wrapping.
Promising review: "I had a toddler I have to cut everything up for, and these scissors have made my life INCREDIBLY easier. I cut PB&J into perfect squares and grapes into three pieces effortlessly with these scissors. It cuts chicken and other meats simply. They're sharp, safe, and so affordable too. Don't look elsewhere; these are the best!" — Adrian
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight styles and four sizes).
22. Julep's Eyeshadow Crème to Powder Eyeshadow Stick that is basically what happens when creamy and powdery eyeshadows have a blendable, delightfully waterproof baby.

Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action.
Promising review: "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in four tints).
28. A wildly popular Gumby chew toy so beloved by pets and their owners alike that it's amassed over 42,000 5-star ratings. Reviewers love this lil' guy in particular because he is durable compared to other chew toys, comes in a shape great for playing and teething, and of course, because he is made in the likeness of our beloved Gumby.
Promising review: "It is sturdy with no small parts which could be swallowed by my dog. She loves the fact that Gumby's limbs are just the right size for her to chew on, and she can easily carry this toy around the house. When she finally destroys it, I will purchase another!!! Worth it — I have seen other high-priced dog toys which do not begin to compare with this one's quality." — MomdBom9
Get it from Amazon for $3.59.
29. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).

Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what's there not to like?" — Rachael

Millions more to get test results via NHS app, government says
The NHS app will become the default method of communication for millions more patients in England and save the health service £200m over the next three years, the government has said. More test results, screening invitations and appointment reminders will be sent directly to smartphones as part of a £50m investment in the app, in a move away from traditional communication methods such as letters. It is estimated that at least 50 million letters are sent to patients each year. The Department of Health and Social Care said that people who cannot access app messaging - including elderly patients - will receive text messages and then a letter as a last resort, and NHS phone lines would be freed up. The department says 270 million messages will be sent through the NHS app this financial year - an increase of 70 million on the previous year. Push notifications will provide appointment reminders to patients to try to reduce the risk of no attendance - with around eight million missed appointments in elective care missed in 2023/24. Work is also under way to enable users of the app to add appointments to their phone calendars and request help from their local GP surgeries. Figures show that more than 11 million people in the UK log into the NHS app every month, while almost 20 million are opted in to receive healthcare messages from the app. It is hoped the changes will give patients better access to manage their healthcare journey and make informed decisions about their care. NHS app services, which were launched in December 2018, are now used in 87% of hospitals across England. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said further investment in the app would bring the NHS into the digital age so that being a patient was as "convenient as online banking or ordering a takeaway". He added that moving away from paper communication could free up funding for front line services. Rachel Power, chief executive of the Patient's Association, said the upgrade was a "significant step in modernising how patients receive information". The British Medical Association (BMA) has previously warned that a reliance on apps to the NHS to communicate with patients risked alienating patients who don't have access to digital technology. It followed the government's announcement in January that it planned to allow more patients in England to book treatments and appointments through the app. Last month, NHS England announced millions of patients would be able to get "Amazon-style" tracking updates on their prescriptions through the app, to check if their medicines are ready to collect or have been despatched for delivery.

I love how my skin feels!" —Tanisha O"This product reminds me SO much of my favorite HIGH END oil from Sunday Riley, the Luna oil.

Great scents to choose from and fun colors to correlate with your theme. This smaller size is perfect for a kid's size bath at a great price point. My daughters use one in every bath experience, and we love seeing new themes released." —Anonymous"I love all of Da Bomb bath bombs.

A daily cooktop cleaner perfect if you're looking for a product that'll give you a streak-free clean so you can keep your stove top as pretty as the day you moved in. Promising reviews: "This actually doesn't leave streaks. I was so stubborn all these years, refusing to pay more to purchase a 'special cleaner' to clean just a single appliance in my home. But after trying everything else, I finally caved and bought this. And finally, my glass cook top is actually clean! It was so easy, too — minimal elbow grease. Wish I had tried this stuff sooner." —First Last"I've never had an electric oven until two months ago, so I had no idea you needed to clean it differently. Thankfully, I asked. Found this and it works heavenly. No wretched smell and very effective for a novice electric stovetop user." —SuzannePrice: $5.49 A *Handy Brush* from Scotch-Brite whose usefulness is listed in the title. It's *handy* to have around to make various tasks even easier. Washing dishes, cleaning counters, scrubbing showers — this little brush can ~handle~ it all. In fact, one reviewer leaves one in every room of the house for that very reason. Promising reviews: "This is my third or fourth one! I tried buying a different brand when I was at a different store, and I hated it. This is perfect! I love that I can throw it in the dishwasher with each load to sanitize it, so I know it's always clean. I highly recommend this for scrubbing your dishes, etc." —TyTen"You need several! We keep one in the kitchen sink to clean it, one in the shower for quick clean-ups while in the shower, one for scrubbing fruits/veggies/potatoes, and another outside to clean the chickens' waterers. I'll be buying more so I can keep one in each bathroom to clean out sinks." —decor8ingjunkePrice: $2.99 A sleek tower fan with a stunning 4.9-star ⭐ rating ⭐ because reviewers agree it is a stellar fan if you're trying to stay cool when things get warmer.

You can also connect it to your smart device and control it with voice assistance. Promising reviews: "This fan was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! When I say it was a lifesaver, I am not exaggerating! My home AC has a leak that took two weeks to fix, and this fan truly saved me! Even after the AC issue was fixed, I still use it in the evenings on the lowest speed for the comfort and low sound. It wasn't hard to put together either. You just snap the two halves that make up the disc base and set the tower unit in the base, and voila!" —MadyMom"The best purchase I have ever made in my life, without a doubt! After living for a month without AC, this fan was my salvation from melting. It's quiet, super powerful, and somehow the air that blows out is not the same hot air that surrounds you, which I think is wonderful. It's lightweight and looks beautiful wherever you put it because it takes up almost no space." —MJPrice: $89.99 A TheraIce migraine relief cap to help anyone who often gets headaches and migraines.

If you suffer from headaches or migraines, this is definitely worth trying!" —easy and inexpensivePrice: $25.49 (originally $29.99) A Byoma brightening body wash that reviewers note is super moisturizing and leaves their skin feeling hydrated and smelling absolutely AMAZING. Promising review: "WOW! It has only been a few washes, but I already see a difference in my skin! This wash is soft, luxurious, slightly exfoliating, and the smell!! Maybe it's just me, but it reminds me of old-school Hollister perfume in a gentle way! Love it! Will continue to buy and you should, too!" —garden ladyPrice: $12.99 An aluminum-free honey and cactus flower deodorant from Wild, complete with a ~bee-utiful~ container that you can refill when you're done. Promising reviews: "Great deodorant! I have tried several brands for an aluminum-free deodorant. This works the best! I also love the adorable reusable case." —A"This is one of the best-smelling deodorants I have ever used. The scent lasts so long and it gives off perfume vibes rather than deodorant." —L BaileyPrice: $16.99Find other scents and refills here. A spackling kit to save you 1) time looking for a local wall repairer and 2) money so you won't have to pay someone to repair the wall. No, it won't patch up a wall if the Incredible Hulk comes crashing through, but minor holes and scratches don't stand a chance. Promising review: "This stuff is awesome! A little goes a long way and I love how it turns white when it's dry. The color makes it easier to apply to ensure you don't miss a spot. I didn't need to sand after using it on drywall and even used it to fill in scratches on a windowsill from my cat. It's also very easy to clean up if you drop some or get it on fabric. It did shrink a hair, but I think it's because I did way too thin of a coat (like 1/32-inch). If you have something that literally takes paint off the wall like gorilla tape, this product fills in the holes very nicely. I did holes up to 2 inches across and down to the brown paper of drywall and it worked great. It also comes off your skin very easily with warm water and soap. This also stays good a while after you have been opening and closing the lid." —MVPrice: $5.47 A 12-piece knife set reviewers say are not only incredibly sharp but also visually appealing. It's a great way to mix color and practicality into your cooking space. Promising reviews: "These are perfect! I just moved and ended up stopping by Target and saw these. Fair warning, they are SUPER SHARP. Be careful when washing them😅, learned the hard way with the purple one and I barely touched it" —MommaOf2"Great addition to any kitchen. No matter your level of cooking, these are amazing; they do the hard work for you (very sharp), and wash well by hand. Love these to use daily when I don't want to use my high-end knives because they work just as good. Love the color and the protective covers!" —CTargetloverPrice: $29.99 A Ninja Crispi — my personal kitchen helper that's helped me cook at home more and more. How can you not cook at home when this nifty and compact device makes it so easy? It has four settings that allow you to make small or family-sized meals. It comes with a handy booklet with recipes and guides on settings for your favorite meals (it even has one for frozen hashbrowns, my personal fave). And when you're done cooking, the glass cooking dish is also your storage container *with* a lid. Promising reviews: "I don't have a ton of counter space, so the Ninja Crispi is perfect. It makes food nice and crispy without heating up the whole house the way an oven does. I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn't have the room for a full-sized air fryer." —Zap Rowsdower"100% the best air fryer today. I love that the container is clear and that I can use it immediately or store it in the fridge. Super simple and straightforward to use." —Target CustomerPrice: $179.99 (available in three colors) An ultra-light Shark corded stick vacuum that's here to make cleaning day feel less like arm day at the gym. Reviewers note that the vacuum's light weight makes moving from room to room so much easier. Promising review: "I have a condo, and this will work great for my space. I love the long cord and the swivel head to get under furniture. I had a heavy upright and a small Dustbuster-style, and I replaced both of them with this. I have carpet as well as uncarpeted areas, and it works great. It's very lightweight and takes up less space than the upright." —MinnesotaPrice: $99.99 (originally $199.99) Some Command mop and broom grippers because during this season, you need your brooms and mops nearby to keep things as dust-free as possible. Like most Command products, these neat-o grippers adhere to most walls and surfaces quickly and easily; then, once they're up, you can snap your brooms, mops, and other cleaning supplies right into them, keeping them both tidy and ready to go whenever you need even pull off of the wall again if you decide you don't need them anymore — without leaving any damage behind. Convenience, thy name is review: 'Highly recommend! These grippers are awesome. I use them to hold brooms, mops, Swiffer, and standing dustpan, among other things. They have a really strong grip, so they hold things sturdy and don't drop them. Keeps your tedious cleaning tools up and out of the way, clearing floor space and corner space. They don't fall off of the wall. Easy to pull things out from them when ready to use. These grippers are a must-have!' —Target reviewerPrice: $14.99 for a set of two grippers A makeup primer from E.l.f. that will grab onto your makeup and not let go until you wash it off at the end of the day. This primer is similar to the beloved original Power Grip formula but with the added ingredient of niacinamide to brighten and even out skin tone. Promising reviews: "So affordable, and the grip is amazing! I have dry skin, and this is a game-changer. I love it underneath my tinted sunscreen. I'm in my 40s, and it doesn't sink into wrinkles.

Honestly amazing, and for less than $5. Try it, it is more than worth it!" —Christina"Great primer stick, great for my morning routine. It works strides better than I imagined it would for $5, and results rival my favorite high-end eye cream. It's more like a serum stick to me; because of that, it absorbs super well and does not pill!! It leaves my skin bright, and hydrated with a matte finish after it absorbs. It's easy to apply and can be taken on the go because it's a roll-on. It feels cool and minty on the skin if you like that sort of thing, 10/10!" —PotatoGirly123Price: $4.99 A pack of seamless boy shorts that will stand up through the heat of summer. Reviewers say that not only are they super soft, but they also don't roll down and they're actually seamless: legging approved. Promising reviews: "Super soft material!

I put it on underneath my foundation and lemme tell ya, it looks so so pretty. I've not had an issue with it causing breakouts for me or causing my foundation to move/get patchy.

Breathe Easy This Allergy Season With 50% Off a Morento Air Purifier
Springtime is rough for a lot of us with all manner of plant life shooting pollen into the air with reckless abandon. But a good air purifier can help keep allergies at bay, at least within the safety of your own home, and right now you can get your hands on the Morento air purifier while it's 50% off at Amazon. That means it's down to just $80, and it's a great way to clear that air up. Make sure you act fast if you want it though, as there's no telling how long this deal will last. The Morento air purifier -- full name Morento HY4866-WF -- can handle rooms up to 1,076 square feet, which is going to be enough for most bedrooms or living rooms. Along with that, it has an air quality display to help you see how well it's doing, and it even comes with a couple of extra filters. That's just good news for general usability, because we all forget to order new ones the first time around. The result of all of this is that you can get rid of pollutants and allergens in the air, and that can help immensely when you're in the middle of allergy season, or if you've got pets you're suffering with a bit. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. In addition to being generally good at clearing the air, it's also smart, meaning you can control it with Alexa, Google Assistant or the accompanying app so that you can turn it on or off without having to get up or set it to run on a schedule that suits you. Given the power and functionality of this device, not to mention the discount, there's no denying that this is one of the best air purifier deals going on right now.
