Promising review: "The Alexa Fire Stick might be the greatest invention since drive-thru coffee. I plugged it in, blinked twice, and boom — it was up and running. I didn't need a tech degree or a YouTube tutorial narrated by someone whispering in a British accent. Setup? Ridiculously simple. Navigation? Smooth like jazz. Lag? Nonexistent. This thing moves faster than I do when someone says, 'Free snacks in the break room.' I press the mic button and say, 'Find mystery shows,' and Alexa serves them up like a psychic with a popcorn addiction. No scrolling, no back-and-forth, no spelling out titles like I'm on Wheel of Fortune. The layout is clean and makes actual sense. Everything I want is right there. It's like it knows I'm too tired to think after 8 p.m. and hands me exactly what I didn't know I needed. Bonus: It's tiny. I've lost it in the couch cushions twice, but it always comes back. Like a loyal little entertainment boomerang. If you're tired of complicated remotes, laggy interfaces, and shouting, 'WHERE IS NETFLIX?' into the void — get this. Easy. Fast. Zero drama. Just like I pretend to be in real life." — momsaysitsgood

Promising review: "I've tried so many face washes over the years, and most either dry my skin out or leave me feeling like I haven't washed at all. This one from Kiehl's is the perfect balance: gentle, effective, and suitable for all skin types. It leaves my face feeling clean but never tight or irritated. I actually discovered Kiehl's by accident while looking for a deodorant (which is also fantastic, by the way), and now I'm loyal to several of their products. If you're looking for a reliable, everyday face wash that just works, this is it. Highly recommend." — KKology

Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color.The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." — AJ Bond

Promising review: "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let's talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn't either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn't stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" — Disney Diva

Promising review: "I've been using this wireless charging station for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be happier. It charges my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time — no messy cables, no overheating, and no guesswork about placement. Just drop the device on the pad and it starts charging instantly. What really impressed me is how fast and consistent the charging is. My phone goes from 20% to 80% noticeably quicker than with other chargers I've tried, and it never disconnects or stalls. The build quality feels solid, and the design looks great on my nightstand — clean, modern, and minimal." — Akiena K

Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." — E. Smoker

Promising review: "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. But the sweats are not as cute and don't give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my waist, but not in a way that's uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." — Sarah

Promising review: "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" — Makayla Curtis

When applying, use the tip of the pen to create a thin line. For a bold, thicker line, apply with slightly more pressure.
Promising review: "Sheer perfection. Super easy to apply. I was never good with these type of eyeliners, but after reviewing this product I figured I will give it a try...and OMG...best eyeliner I ever owned. It goes on smooth with a sharp line, no messing up. From the first time I applied it I couldn't believe how well it worked. Cat-eye done in a second or two...No need to re-apply or fixing it later as it stays on nicely all day. I use it with the little black palette from Lorac, which came with primer, and I am not sure if that helps but I put my eye shadow on, then eyeliner and I am good to go. It stays put ALL DAY, just as the name promises. And as other reviewers mentioned, using this product you will be a pro in applying eyeliner in no time. That's how nicely it goes on. I can't say enough good things about it!" — BeataR.

I loooove this essence for whenever I need an added boost of hydration. It absorbs into the skin beautifully!
Promising review: "This product is everything everyone says it is and more. If I could recommend one product that is the key to glass skin, it would be this. It gives an immediate glow, and makes the skin look so supple and healthy. The texture wasn't off-puting for me, but it is a bit slimy and stringy when you first pump out the product. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is unscented. Can't say enough good things about this product and the brand. You need this product in your life!" — Sarah Deeb

Promising review: "I LOVE this! I wasn't sure if it would work or be good because it blew up on TikTok, and I usually don't trust TikTok recommendations. However, this is amazing! It's not sticky, how I thought it might be, but it's not too buttery either. It stays on ALL night, which is a huge win for me because I sleep on my stomach and usually lip masks rub off at night. But this stays! It's really great and my lips feel so soft! I definitely recommend. Especially if you struggle with dry, flaky lips like me." — Samantha Garver

Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala

Promising review: "Magic potion. Where has this been all my life? This stuff is amazing! At 31, I am trying to take care of my skin more as I noticed my face looks "tired." I started to use this and saw immediate results. I apply it after washing/using a derma roller and follow up with applying moisturizer afterward. My husband has even noticed a difference after using for a week and has said things like "your face is glowing", "your face looks radiant", "you look different, younger", "whatever you are doing is working". Bottom line, if you're in search of an anti-aging serum, stop looking and buy this." — J.D.M.
"I struggled with acne for over 12 years. I tried medications, pretty much every skincare line out there, but thanks to a random girl on TikTok, I found this product and will never go back. This is the only serum that has helped clear my scars! I never write reviews, but because I noticed a difference within days of using, I had to write one. I'm only on month two, and I have seen a noticeable difference. My skin looks clear/lighter/glowing/young for the first time since my preteen years. I use this vitamin C serum and a simple wash and moisturizer/sunscreen every day, and that's it!" — Rebekah

After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" — Tara Klein

I just use one area each night to take off my eye makeup and then use the reverse side to wipe off my face before applying lotion for the evening. I love that I'm not using chemicals on my face, and it's super environmentally friendly because I just wash it weekly with my towels, and it's like new again. Everyone should have one of these.

Prediction: 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Nvidia by 2030
Key Points Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary of AI spending among big tech companies. But Amazon and Meta Platforms are two tech giants seeing very strong results from investments in AI, and their future could be even brighter. Both trade at compelling valuations, especially compared to how expensive Nvidia has become. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Since October 2022, Nvidia has seen its value increase by more than $4 trillion. To put that into perspective, no other company is even worth $4 trillion today. The huge surge in value for the maker of graphics processing units (GPUs) stems from a few big tech companies spending hundreds of billions on its chips every year. The four biggest hyperscalers are set to spend around $380 billion on AI infrastructure this year, and they have guided for significant steps up in spending next year. Nvidia is set to be the prime beneficiary of that increased spending for some time, but that doesn't mean the stock will continue to climb. Market prices are based on what investors expect in the future, and the expectations for Nvidia remain high. But two other AI stocks look like they could surpass investor expectations, pushing both companies to exceed Nvidia's value by 2030. Can Nvidia keep climbing from here? Continued growth in AI spending is giving investors more and more confidence that Nvidia can keep up its torrid sales growth. The three main public cloud providers all reiterated that demand exceeds computing capacity, which means they will continue to spend growing amounts to meet their customers' needs. Meanwhile, Nvidia is selling chips as fast as it can make them. That led to a 69% rise in revenue in the company's first quarter, and a 59% increase in adjusted income. But it's unlikely to see growth continue at this pace. All four hyperscalers are working on custom silicon solutions for their own AI training. Microsoft is reportedly planning to shift a significant portion of its spending to its Maia300 chip in late 2026. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is working on expanding the AI workloads that its custom Meta Training and Inference Accelerating (MTIA) chips can handle. And on top of all of that, AMD is starting to show progress in catching up to Nvidia, while continuing to offer excellent price performance. Investors should expect a significant slowdown in sales as Nvidia faces fierce competition for its share of data center servers and it battles with the law of large numbers. As supply-demand forces reach equilibrium, the chipmaker might not be able to command such high gross margins, either. That could weigh on earnings growth. But with the stock currently trading at more than 42 times forward earnings, investors seem to think those risks aren't going to materialize. I think it's more likely they will keep Nvidia from continuing to outperform the market at such a torrid pace, limiting how much more upside there is from here. If investors want to buy shares of a big tech company capitalizing on the growth of AI, the following two industry giants present better value with more upside. In fact, I expect they will both be worth more than Nvidia by 2030. 1. Amazon Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is the largest provider of public cloud computing in the world with Amazon Web Services (AWS), making it one of Nvidia's biggest customers. While the company was caught flat-footed as generative AI took off in 2022, management quickly caught up with the competition thanks in part to its investment in Anthropic. Management continues to see strong demand for its AI services, with revenue more than doubling year over year. However, AWS's scale has masked that strong growth. The cloud services segment generated $116 billion in revenue over the last 12 months. That's roughly 55% larger than its next closest competitor, Microsoft. But AWS's 17% year-over-year growth looks disappointing compared to Microsoft's 39% growth in cloud services last quarter. Nonetheless, Amazon has mostly kept its market share despite strong growth by its competitors. What's more important is that the margin profile on AWS is extremely strong. The operating margin of 36.8% over the last 12 months is up from 33.4% a year ago. And while it took a dip in the second quarter, that's due to the timing of share-based compensation. The long-term trend shows continued improvement in margins. Meanwhile, Amazon's retail business is becoming very profitable in its own right. The North American segment saw its operating margin climb to 7% last quarter while the international segment's margin came in at 3.4%. Strong top-line growth of 11% for both helped, which was bolstered by high-margin ad revenue growth of 22%. The long-term trends favor steady revenue growth across Amazon's businesses with particular strength in its high-margin operations (namely AWS and advertising). That should result in earnings growth well above average. And as its spending growth on AWS slows down, free cash flow should rise to new records by the end of the decade. That gives the company more opportunities to invest for growth, just as it has managed to do throughout its history. The stock currently looks attractive amid a small pullback in price. 2. Meta Platforms Meta is another major Nvidia customer, but unlike Amazon, it only uses Nvidia chips for its own AI needs. In fact, it might be spending more on its own AI needs than any other company in the world. And Meta's second-quarter results are a clear example of why it's willing to spend so much. Sales grew 22% last quarter, and its operating margin expanded 5 percentage points. For some perspective, that's faster revenue growth than both Snap and Pinterest despite being a much bigger force in social media advertising. Meta's AI capabilities are a clear reason for the outperformance. Artificial intelligence has led to better recommendations for both advertisements and organic content. As a result, the company served up more ads and was able to command higher pricing per ad impression. Meanwhile, it's seeing strong uptake of its generative AI tools for ad creation, which makes it easier for marketers to create and test new ideas. There are a number of other opportunities that AI could unlock. Those include AI chatbots for businesses in WhatsApp and Messenger, which could drive increased click-to-message ads in Facebook and Instagram. And management has said its Meta AI chatbot built into its apps now has 1 billion monthly active users, giving it yet another surface to monetize with ads. It only recently started showing ads in WhatsApp and Threads. That should give it room to grow supply as demand increases due to its generative AI tools making advertising easier. Lastly, Meta is at the forefront of development in augmented and virtual reality. AI can unlock a lot of value in an environment that's also aware of your surroundings. The company has already seen strong early adoption of its Meta Glasses with AI built in. Shares look very attractive with an enterprise value around 16 times forward estimates on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). While depreciation of its data centers will weigh on its margins, the company is proving the investments are paying off with very strong revenue growth and by unlocking a lot of potential profits in the long run.

Tiger Global buys more Nvidia, Amazon, exits surging tech stocks
Billionaire investor Chase Coleman started his career at Julian Robertson's legendary Tiger Management, and when the fund closed in 2000, he started his own firm, Tiger Global Management. Now, Coleman is well known for chasing hot tech names worldwide, investing in both public stocks and private startups, keeping the aggressive style Robertson was famous for. Now the best-known "Tiger Cubs," Tiger Global has a 1-year performance of 41.38% and a 3-year gain of 105.17%, according to data from Stockcircle. Coleman's famous investments include early bets on Google (GOOGL) and Amazon (AMZN) , as well as building positions in private companies like Facebook (now Meta (META) ) and LinkedIn before their IPOs. That same eye now guides his latest moves, blending bold new bets with timely exits. During the second quarter of 2025, Coleman significantly increased his portfolio value and shuffled key holdings. Here are some of his most notable moves. Image source: Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images According to a latest 13F filing, Coleman's Tiger Global ramped up its Big Tech bets in Q2, driving a 28% jump in the value of its public holdings from $26.6 billion at the end of Q1 to $34.1 billion as of June 30. That includes adding shares of several mega-cap tech names and starting a new position in a recently listed stock. Related: Warren Buffett buys battered stock, sells more Apple Amazon was the top buy. Tiger Global added its Amazon holdings by over 4.1 million shares, or roughly 62.2%, bringing its total to about 10.7 million shares by quarter's end. This major purchase vaulted the e-commerce giant's value in the portfolio from $1.25 billion to $2.34 billion, making it Tiger Global's fourth-largest holding, accounting for 6.9%. In Q2 2025, Amazon delivered a 13 % revenue increase to $167.7 billion. Still, Amazon shares slid after the Q2 earnings report as it gave lighter-than-expected income guidance for the current period. The fund also expanded its Reddit (RDDT) stake by 89.2%, bringing it to about 6.1 million shares. It also increased its exposure to the semiconductor leaders, adding shares of Nvidia (NVDA) by 6.8% to about 11.7 million shares. The move reflects confidence in Nvidia's position at the center of AI hardware demand. The stock is up 34% this year and is trading near a record, closing at $180.45 on August 15. The recent bullish narrative was partly driven by renewed access to China's market, after the U.S. approved AI chip exports under a deal requiring a 15% fee on China sales. The fund's stake in Broadcom (AVGO) also got a lift, with a 19% rise to about 2.7 million shares. The fund's Q2 filing showed a notable new position in Circle Internet (CRCL) , buying 125,000 shares of the stablecoin and digital payments company. The stock has fallen about 23.6% over the past month but remains up 116% since its June IPO. Wall Street analysts have an average price target of $171.43, suggesting roughly 15% upside. Tiger Global's biggest sales in the second quarter were Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings (PDD) , DoorDash (DASH) , and ServiceNow (NOW) . The firm exited PDD entirely, closing what had once been a sizable stake. PDD, the parent of Temu, is up 26% year-to-date. The sell-off may reflect caution over U.S.–China trade tensions or a decision to allocate capital in other tech names. Related: Cathie Wood sells $28 million of popular AI stock In DoorDash, Tiger Global sold nearly all of its holdings, about 98.8% or roughly 2.17 million shares. The fund first started a position in DoorDash in late 2020, exited in the fourth quarter of 2022 after a prolonged slump, and then rebuilt the stake in the third quarter of 2023.

The recent sale could mark another deliberate exit, taking advantage of a higher price to lock in gains. ServiceNow was also reduced. Tiger Global cut the position by 48%, leaving about 300,000 shares. While ServiceNow remains a strong player in enterprise workflow software, the reduction also likely suggests a profit-taking approach.

Amazon analysts turn heads with surprising take on grocery plan
Amazon analysts turn heads with surprising take on grocery plan originally appeared on TheStreet. In April President Trump revived a nice old-timey word during what he called his Liberation Day tariff speech in the White House Rose Garden. 'It's such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries," he mused. "It sort of says a bag with different things in it." 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰💵 Yes, it indeed does sort of say a bag with different things in it. And those things translate into a multitrillion-dollar market as people buy fresh produce, dairy, meat, snacks, bread, beverages and household essentials Supermarkets remain a dominant force in the grocery sector with 69% of consumers regularly shopping there, according to Statista. Online grocery shopping is on the rise with more than 138 million consumers using daily services last year. Amazon () is looking to bag a chunk of this massive market, and on Aug. 13 the e-commerce, entertainment and tech giant cranked up the volume. Amazon claims quick and easy experience The Seattle company said customers in more than 1,000 cities and towns could now order fresh groceries with same-day-delivery orders. It plans to expand to more than 2,300 cities across the U.S. by year-end. 'By introducing fresh groceries into our same-day-delivery service, we're creating a quick and easy experience for customers,' Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement. More Retail Stocks: Troubled retailer files Chapter 11 bankruptcy, liquidates stores Wayfair struggles to reverse concerning customer behavior Walmart introduces mobile new store format for younger customers 'They can order milk alongside electronics; oranges, apples, and potatoes with a mystery novel; and frozen pizza at the same time as tools for their next home improvement project — and check out with one cart and have everything delivered to their doorstep within hours.' Members of the Amazon Prime subscription service will get free same-day delivery on orders $25 or more or pay $2.99 if an order falls below the minimum. Non-Prime customers pay a flat $12.99 fee regardless of order size. "Amazon indicated that the company generated over $100 billion of grocery and household essential sales in 2024 (excluding Whole Foods), so the company already has grocery traction on with consumers," Bank of America Securities said in a research note. The investment firm, which has a buy rating and $272 price target on Amazon shares, said fresh grocery has been a significant missing piece in Amazon's offering compared with competitors like Walmart () and Target () . Walmart is currently the top grocery retailer measured by dollar share, according to data from Numerator. As of Q1 2025, 21.2% of the grocery-market share belonged to the company. "With better grocery capabilities, Amazon should see important customer frequency benefits and potential lock-in with weekly grocery shopping not achievable in other verticals," BofA said. "We expect Amazon to refine and improve its grocery selection over time." The investment firm sees the launch as a longer-term competitive risk for delivery company Instacart, although it said Instacart's most profitable $75+ weekly baskets would see little near-term impact, B of A has a neutral rating on Maplebear's () Instacart. Analyst: Key Amazon questions remain After Amazon unveiled its enhanced fresh food offering, Wells Fargo said it was hard to see the news as anything but an incremental negative for food and staples retail. There are hurdles to winning in ultracompetitive grocery, it investment firm, which has an equal-weight rating on the shares, said the move was not thesis-changing for retail of staple goods, but it requires monitoring, according to The Fly. While the move looks like a concern for peers given the sheer size of the Prime member base, winning in grocery is not a layup for Amazon, Wells said. Key questions on the breadth of the offer versus local grocery players remain. It's mportant to note, Wells Fargo said, that many customers already have grocery-delivery options. Evercore ISI noted that Amazon's expansion of same-day delivery to include perishable groceries marked a significant strategic move into one of retail's most competitive and high-retention categories. The firm said the move deepened Amazon's customer engagement by strengthening a high-frequency purchase category into the Prime ecosystem, increasing loyalty and longtime customer value. The deeper integration of groceries with Amazon's vast general merchandise offering positions the company more aggressively against competitors like Instacart and Walmart+. By setting a relatively low free delivery threshold of $25, Evercore said Amazon applies pricing pressure that may challenge rivals' ability to compete on convenience and cost. Given that this segment is a $1 trillion-plus market in the U.S. and perhaps $2 trillion-plus across all of Amazon's global markets, there should be a large growth opportunity here, the firm added.
