Buzz Feed11-07-2025
Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your own...so that's where we come in.
The wildly improved 2nd Gen AirPods Pro for 40% off (!!) — not only do these have a MASSIVE improvement in battery life (up to 30 hours), but it has new adjusting sound-adaptive features to make talking on the phone and listening to dialogue much easier. Also, trust me when I tell you that once these toggle into "noise-canceling" mode, you're the main character. All the irritating background noise in the world just *POOFS* away.
Check out a TikTok of the AirPods Pro in action. Promising review: "These might be the best earbuds. They have a lot of features, clear audio, and mic sound. The best part of this one is the design choice Apple went with this, this actually stays in your ear, unlike the other Apple AirPods. It's even better than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and this is coming from a guy who switch from Samsung to iPhone. If you gonna get some AirPods save up for this one and get it on sale, Amazon sells it cheaper than any other stores." —Davier BoldsPrice: $149 (originally $249 (and currently $249 at Apple); typically $189.99 at Amazon) — and shop all Apple deals here
Biodance's TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask for 30% off for an overnight ~refresh~ to help firm skin, boost elasticity, and minimize pores. Reviewers mention noticing a visible difference even after one use! You are about to become the definition of "I woke up like this." ✨
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!" —NalaPrice: $13.30 for four (originally $19)
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder for 30% off (the first time it's been on sale since it launched, and LOWEST price it's ever been) to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy. ✨
Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte LaimPrice: $17.50 (typically $25)
Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey for 30% off you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes.
I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart.Promising review: "This lipstick is a game changer. It goes on and stays on well. It is pretty sheer, but buildable. I have trouble with most red lipsticks turning pink after a bit. So, I will put this over my other colors, and it absolutely makes a difference. It's a great staple to keep in your cosmetic bag. It is something I will definitely buy again. You should absolutely try it!" —Amy H.Price: $17.50 (originally $25; also available in pink honey!) — and shop all the Clinique deals here
A Beats Solo 4 headphones for up to 51% off, which is the LOWEST price these (rarely!) go, and fully worth it and then some — they flex some GORGEOUS spatial audio, a whopping 50 hours of battery life, and genuine "all day wear" comfort. Reviewers also love how lightweight and wearable these are compared to other brands!
Check out a TikTok of the Beats Solo 4 in action. Promising review: 'Impressive sound, stylish and sophisticated headphones. I personally like how it's not complete noise cancellation since I like to be aware of the environment around me. So this headphone is amazing for the right reasons. Quality, style, sound, and safety. Not to mention how sleek it is. Finally, headphones that are not bulky or heavy. I appreciate the smooth texture, feel, and the cushioned headband part. It's also easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The blue slate color is classy, too! Excellent product!' —DianePrice: $97.99+ (originally $199.99; available in four colors)
A pack of Crest 3D Whitestrips for 35% off so you can channel Chip Skylark and belt out "My Shiny Teeth And Me" wherever you roam. It comes with 44 strips total, which is enough for 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments.
Check out a TikTok of the Crest 3D Whitestrips in action. Promising review: "I haven't used Crest White Strips in over five years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white, and I frequently get compliments or questions about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased, I have only used them about four times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed, too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" —Vanessa5o5Price: $29.99 (originally $45.99)
A Philips Sonicare toothbrush for 50% off (the lowest price it's gone for since Cyber Weekend) with all the bells and whistles you know and love: the two-minute QuadPacer timer so you make sure you're brushing all areas of the mouth effectively, a pressure sensor to prevent over-brushing, and different cleaning modes (gum care, whitening, etc!). And hey, this is the cheapest this model goes for!
Check out a TikTok of the toothbrush in action. Promising review: "After speaking to my dental hygienist and a friend who had an electric toothbrush, I finally decided to get one. The difference is like night and day. I can never go back to a regular toothbrush after using an electric toothbrush; there's no comparison in how much of a better job this thing does on my teeth. The hardest part of using it was getting used to letting it do the brushing; I keep wanting to use it like a regular toothbrush and move it up and down for brushing strokes. I finally stopping manually making brushing strokes and just let it do it's thing. My hygienist could see the improvement during my first cleaning after using this toothbrush. I gave one to a friend as a birthday gift and she loves it. And she said that she her hygienist also noticed an improvement during her cleaning after using this toothbrush." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $54.96 (originally $109.96)
The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite for 22% off (its lowest price ever!) — it has 25% faster page turns (!!), higher contrast ratio, and a glare-free 7-inch display. Plus all the features of the previous version, like a warm light setting for late-night reading and waterproof rating for worry-free poolside or beach reading.
Check out a TikTok of the new Kindle Paperwhite in action. "I've been using my Kindle Paperwhite (a previous generation) before bed for years — and after reading for a while, I turn down the brightness to a low level just slightly dimmer than I'd want — after a page or two, my brain goes "Nope!" and shuts off to sleep. AND it helps me not even start thinking the anxious or negative thoughts that *usually* keep me up at night. I got to upgrade to this new Kindle Paperwhite a few months ago, and the warm light feature is a game-changer. And the page turns and responsiveness of this model are indeed faster — and I can really tell the difference compared to my old Kindle!" —BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer Price: $124.99 (originally $159.99) — and shop all the Kindle deals here
The famous Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream for 20% off (a deal worth considering, because it *rarely* goes on sale). This is a fan-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E.
Check out a TikTok of the Bum Bum Cream in action. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet, and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle BrownPrice $38.40 (originally $48) — they're offering 20% off their other creams and fragrances too! BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says she'll be buying a second bottle of their Cheirosa '68 fragrance, which is veeeerrry similar to Baccarat Rouge 540!
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for 30% off, which continues its reign as the TikTok lip care holy grail throne alongside everyone's beloved Laneige Lip Glowy Balm (which is, by the way, also up to 30% off right now 👀👀) — the lip sleeping mask has the same delightful flavors (including the iconic GUMMY BEAR!!) and hydrates lips with the *chef's kiss* lightweight, moisturizing blend that doesn't get all sticky and goopy like competitors.
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 GarverPrice: $16.80 (originally $24; available in four flavors, including Peach, Berry, Grapefruit, and Gummy Bear) — and check out more Laneige Prime Day deals on Amazon!
Mixsoon Bean Essence for 55% off (the lowest price it's ever been!!) — this TikTok-beloved K-beauty staple for exfoliating and hydrating is a secret weapon that anyone chasing the ~glass skin~ look will want to know about immediately. You can use this as a low-maintenance, high results exfoliant by massaging it into your skin two to three times a week for a smoother, brighter, more even complexion.
Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores; it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and were left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well on everyone on the first try, and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMaePrice: $11.20+ (typically $25+; available in two sizes) — and shop all the Mixsoon deals here

You just happen to get a luxury television while you're at it. This smart TV has an anti-reflection matte display, and it's Alexa-compatible. Sweet.
This includes a slim-fit wall mount. Check out a TikTok of the Samsung Frame TV in action. Promising review: "Wow. This is just what I hoped it would be. I am an enthusiastic photographer and have generated picture files from all over the world. The problem is how to display the results. Printing and mounting are expensive and there is only so much wall space for displaying the prints. The solution? This tv! Set-up was easy. My photos now happily and beautifully being displayed in a slow-motion (by choice) slide show. The results are fantastic. Just what I hoped. This is a hit for sure. I am very very pleased. Now we have to, maybe, buy a second. Excellent product!!!" —CharlesPrice: $797.99 (originally $1,497.99)Check out Samsung's landing page for more Prime Day deals.
An 11-inch iPad Air for $120 off, bringing it down to its best price ever! This model has a seriously vivid ~liquid retina~ screen, cameras capable of taking 4K video, impressive battery life — and all of that is packed into a super lightweight design you can carry basically everywhere.
Check out a TikTok of the iPad Air in action. Promising review: "I wanted something that I could use to organize notes, annotate and highlight PDFs for school, and use for creative journaling.

And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner of your face.
Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.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 BondPrice: $10 (originally $25; available in 40 shades and a mini size)
Mise En Scene Perfect Serum for 32% off, an extra STEAL considering this beloved K-beauty staple compares to the $46 Gisou version — reviews swear by this for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨.

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action. Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn't leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. 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 KleinPrice: $12.94 (typically $18.99; available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas)
And a pair of waterproof wireless earbuds for 32% off with some real AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising.
Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin"These are the best quality earbuds for the price! I found them through TikTok and have zero regrets. I'd definitely repurchase if needed." —HamrickPrice: $25.98+ (typically $37.99; available in nine colors)
A Tushbaby hip carrier for up to 35% off that'll keep you from straining your back when your kid simply insists on being carried all the time. Reviewers love how comfortable it is and also go wild over the amount of pockets it has for all sorts of gear (including your own phone, keys, and wallet).
It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. See why this mama calls the Tushbaby "the best invention for parents of young children" on TikTok. "A true Brooklynite, my daughter started *insisting* on walking outside at 11 months old. This side carrier helps us move things along faster when she gets tuckered out. I love using this on the subway, as she can sit down and move around without my needing to get her out of a carrier. It's also stellar for breastfeeding on the go, whether I'm sitting or standing. BTW, Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life." — BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer CallePrice: $54.99 (originally $84.99; available in three colors)

A Nespresso Vertuo Plus for 35% off (cheaper than it's been in a full year) so you can enjoy a lovely high-quality coffee beverage (it makes single and double espressos AND 5-, 8-, and 12-ounce coffees) while saving serious moolah. This one's designed to fit small kitchens, too! Trust me, the amount of money you'll save on Dunkin/Starbies alone will make this a worthwhile investment.
Check out a TikTok of the Nespresso in action. Promising review: "I love an iced white chocolate mocha latte, and now I can make them at home. I love the Nespresso machine so much that I use it every day. It is a little loud, but I don't care. It makes the best espressos. The little tray is super easy to clean off and actually catches the drips at the end. I really like how the water container can move around to fit wherever you need it to go. It gets hot enough to melt the chocolate chips I put in my cup. This is great. It helps me save money on coffee, and I can tell it's pretty durable! I use it at least two times a day, and I've never had any issues with it opening or closing." —Kyra MalkowskiPrice: $109.85 (originally $169)

Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Promising review: "After using this for the first time, I knew it was worth the price. It's wonderfully luxurious! The shampoo is not runny, which is good because you have to leave it on the lathered hair for at least three minutes, and it doesn't get in my eyes during that time. The smell is not strong or medicinal; it is pleasant enough. It doesn't seem drying to my hair like some of the volumizing shampoos I've used. This product makes my hair feel so good and look so healthy. I will be buying this again!" —Rachel ElainePrice: $9.99 (typically $23.95; available in three scents).Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots!

Breaks down into a lotion kind of and turned out to be too oily for my face specifically, but love it for my body. Will be buying this again!" —averyPrice: $16.10 (typically $23) — with a free air freshener included!
Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask for 30% off, which is on the newer end, but has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, adenosine, and ceramide NP to help smooth fine line and and improve elasticity.
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn't have to wait for it and pay less. Can't go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." —Ramona L. CoronaPrice: $13.30 (typically $19)

TruSkin vitamin C serum for 33% off that just short of startles reviewers for how fast it visibly brightens and firms skin even from the first use, and how well it reduces wrinkles and the appearance of dark spots over time.

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!" —RebekahPrice: $24.99 (typically $37.36; also available in a smaller size)

It's so soothing and refreshing, almost like a spa experience at home." —MelissaPrice: $6.29 (typically $9.94; available in two scents)

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018Price: $9.09 for a set of three pairs (typically $12.99)

Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. 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.

It's so nice to be able to easily adjust my watch comfortably. Plus, the Velcro is strong and stays in place. The material doesn't irritate my skin or the hair on my arm like silicone bands. It takes a little longer to dry than some, but still not in an irritating way. Green is one of my favorite colors, and it blends in well." —Sarah Barksdale Price: $169 (originally $249 (currently $249 at Apple); typically $189 at Amazon)

I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly.

I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).Price: $9.99+ (typically $13.99; available in different sizes)

Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. "I love the light fragrance of this sanitizer and how it doesn't dry my skin. Definitely will buy again." —Lindsey OgdenPrice: $11.20 (typically $16; available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options)

I also love how quick it heats up and how easy it is to adjust the temperature for different hair types. Overall, this curling iron is a must-have for anyone looking to create effortless, professional-looking curls at home." —Shawn H. Here's what BuzzFeed's Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time." Price: $69.30 (typically $99)

The speed options are great as well, and overall it works great! It also does not make a horrible sound when I use it, unlike the previous one I owned (from a different brand)." —KeihraPrice: $139.99 (typically $199.99)
A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller for 25% off plus an extra 7% off that is deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair. It not only locks it in, but also stashes it inside the roller itself so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around (instead of getting rid of it properly).
Promising review: "My cat sheds and I saw this on TikTok and very much thought of it as an impulsive purchase at first for its price tag. But no, this is a very very necessary item in my day to day life. Does it pick up every single hair leaving everything completely hairless, not really, it can be difficult to pick up hair from difficult crevices/corners and hair that's trapped within woven fabrics/upholsteries — HOWEVER — it does a wayyy wayyy better dang job than a lint roller or other products that rival this. My mother picked up something from a competitor and it did not clean up the hair as well as this did. I keep getting these for my pet-having friends as gifts because it's truly a holy grail product. I like that it picks up human hair too because as a long hair haver I can shed about as much as my cat does. It's a durable product too, I've had mine for about a year now and it still works like it used to and it's fairly easy to clean the inside." —ConniePrice: $18.74 (originally $24.99; clip the coupon for this price)

Check out a TikTok of the Ring indoor camera in action. Promising review: "We recently got a new puppy, and we decided to get this camera to check on her when we are away and at night. I had no idea how much I would love this thing!! She's had some tummy trouble, and we've had to get up a lot at night with her. Being able to check on her with the camera before we actually get out of bed has been crucial!!! And a huge bonus is that we don't have to worry about the battery life because it plugs into a USB port in our kitchen. The camera quality is so great!!! This is worth every penny! It's so easy to set up! The Ring app walks you through the setup step by step. I loved it so much I bought a second one for our garage. I highly recommend this." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $34.98 (typically $69.98)
A hands-free wearable fan for 37% off (the best price it goes for) you can easily clip to your waistband or wear around your neck for some instant, refreshing cooling power on days when the sun is trying to melt you like an ice pop.
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver! We used them while at multiple theme parks in the summer, and they have worked wonderfully. The fact that they clip to your waist, hold your shirt down, and blow air up your shirt is a way better way to keep cool than just an external fan. I have bought several of these, and would highly recommend! A couple of these lasted all day, as long as you are not constantly running them full blast." —Greg"I saw this rechargeable fan on TikTok, but found it cheaper on Amazon. It has four different settings. Comfortable to wear. It has decent battery life. Noise level is minimal. Keeps you cool. The clip easily connects to your jeans, shorts, or pants to help you stay cool in the heat. I'm a big guy living in Alabama, so it's been great for me! Good, quality product." —Misty ReynoldsPrice: $18.98 (typically $29.99)

Promising review: "I never knew I needed a water flosser until I tried this one, and wow — what a difference! It delivers a powerful yet gentle stream of water that thoroughly cleans between my teeth and along the gum line. The effectiveness is undeniable — I can actually feel how much fresher and cleaner my mouth is after each use because my breath has noticeably improved. Beyond just the results, the ease of use has completely transformed my approach to flossing. No more struggling with traditional floss or worrying about missing tricky spots. I still floss, but with the water flosser, it's no longer a chore, it's actually enjoyable and can be done extremely fast." —Vanessa Chang"Fresh out of the box, and it works fantastically. We've been looking for a water flosser and saw this on TikTok, so we bought it, and we love it. The color is awesome, and it's nicely weighted." —Kaycee NeilanderPrice: $19.98+ (typically $29.98; available in four colors at various discounts, not all colors on sale)

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action.Promising review: "I can't say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It's a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. Price: $11.33 (typically $17.97; also available as a two-pack)

Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." —Smickens"Okay WOW. I've never used an airbrush foundation before, so I was pretty skeptical, but oh my goodness, this covered everything and looked SO natural. And it took five seconds! Not tacky or sticky at all, and not drying either. A little goes a long way, lesson quickly learned, and the brush is your best friend for blending it out. Just keep blending and keep blending, and it looks better and better. I still looked fresh-faced and flawless after a full day of family and running around. Will definitely be buying this again." —Katy Price: $14.99 (originally $19.99; available in 15 shades)

It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it.

You can even see all the satisfyingly gross evidence for yourself when you pull it off in the a.m. 👀.
Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin I definitely recommend washing your face first and apply it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas….maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina"Saw it on TikTok and already use their acne patches, so I was sold. Works just as well.

It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed!

Along With $100 Billion U.S. Manufacturing Commitment, Apple's Tim Cook Gifted Trump A Glass 'Made In USA' Plaque On 24-Karat Gold

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook earned the title of "tech's Trump whisperer" in the president's first term, and he just may have shown why. Cook gifted President Donald Trump a glass plaque with a 24-karat gold base on Aug. 6. The move came as he announced at the White House that Apple would invest $100 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, adding to the $500 billion the company had announced in February. The plaque was engraved with Trump's name, a reference to Apple's U.S. manufacturing efforts, Cook's signature and the phrase "MADE IN USA." Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Bill Gates Warned About Water Scarcity. "It's a unique unit of one," Cook said. He pointed out that the glass came from U.S. glass maker Corning (NYSE:GLW) and that the base came from Utah. What's more? Cook said it was all designed by a former U.S. Marine who now works for Apple. "Thank you very much, it's fantastic," Trump said. Cook's gift may offer a masterclass on how to curry favor with the president, combining two things of apparent symbolic importance to Trump: gold and the military. From golden tweezers to gold merchandise and, most recently, the gold card visa, Trump's love for gold is well documented. In the same vein, he is also known for his love of displays of military might, though his treatment of veterans has come under question. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can But Cook's gift also adds to mounting legal and ethical concerns about Trump accepting gifts from foreign governments and business leaders seeking to curry favor. Still, the White House continues to deny any wrongdoing on the part of the president. "Elected leaders and business titans from around the world are traveling to the Oval Office to make historic investments into America because of President Trump's bold vision," White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Axios. "Often these leaders are eager to share gifts highlighting the exciting work they are doing." Nonetheless, for Cook and Apple, the recent presentation has had the desired effect. During the meeting, Trump announced plans for a 100% tariff on semiconductor chips, adding that Apple would be exempt from the charge."The good news for companies like Apple is if you're building in the United States or have committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge," Trump said. Despite this major U.S. commitment and a personal exemption from new chip tariffs, Apple still faces significant challenges navigating the global trade landscape created by Trump. Cook said in May that tariffs on goods from India and Vietnam could add $900 million to its costs in its fiscal Q2.

iPhone 17 release date rumors — this could be the full schedule

Summer's winding down, and that means Apple's big annual keynote is just around the corner, promising exciting new announcements about the iPhone 17 line-up, new Apple Watches, and more. While Apple hasn't revealed the rollout's full schedule yet, the rhythm of iPhone launches feels as predictable as the turning leaves. If history serves, we have a pretty good guess when you'll be able to get your hands on a shiny new iPhone 17. Rumors suggest Apple will unveil its major fall product line-ups on September 9. If history serves, we expect the event to take place at the company's Cupertino campus, where the iPhone 17 series will be revealed. Notably, Apple's rumored to shake up the iPhone lineup this time around by replacing the Plus model with the super-thin iPhone 17 Air. In addition to the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, we expect Apple to debut the Apple Watch Series 11 and possibly the Apple Watch Ultra 3. A new version of the AirPods Pro, an updated Apple TV 4K, and the long-awaited smart home hub HomePod 3 could also make an appearance. Apple event announcement date 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET on August 26 iPhone 17 launch event September 9 iPhone 17, Air, and Pro available for pre-order September 12 iOS 26 release date September 15/16 iPhone 17, Air, and Pro on sale September 19 Apple's yet to confirm the keynote's official date, but trusted voices like Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and Forbes suggest we should hear more on that by Tuesday, August 26. That's also when invites should start rolling out via email to select members of the press. Looking at the time tables of previous iPhone generations, we're likely to see Apple open pre-orders for the iPhone 17 a few days later. Apple tends to roll out pre-orders on the Friday after the initial announcement, with sales going live the Friday after that. So if history serves, the iPhone 17 could go on sale on Friday, September 19. As for iOS 26, the latest update expected to ship with the iPhone 17, that's easy to pin down as well. Last year, Apple pushed out iOS 18 on September 16, exactly one week after its annual keynote and four days before the iPhone 16 series went on sale. If Apple follows the same pattern, we can expect iOS 26 to arrive on either Monday, September 15, or Tuesday, September 16. We don't have long to wait until we learn more. All signs point to Apple's iPhone 17 launch event being just a few short weeks away. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Apple's 10% Stock Pop: Time to Invest in the Technology Giant Embracing America?

Key Points Apple has increased its spending plans in the United States from $500 billion to $600 billion. There are positives and negatives to the announcement from an investor's perspective. Shares of Apple stock look expensive today relative to its growth rate. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › Investors are back on the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) train. The stock of the multinational technology giant is still down slightly in 2025 but popped over 10% in the last week after management announced new planned spending in the U.S. CEO Tim Cook even visited the White House in a joint press conference with President Donald Trump to announce this new planned spending on components for the iPhone as well as other Apple products in America. It has helped the company achieve some breathing room around potential tariffs on semiconductors, iPhone components, and iPhones themselves getting imported to America. Apple's stock got its mojo back on this upsized spending news, but should you actually buy shares today? Here's what the numbers say. A $600 billion investment Earlier this year, Apple announced that it would spend $500 billion over the next four years in the United States. Last week, it upped its estimate to $600 billion, or $150 billion annually. This is different than a company's announced capital expenditure plans, such as when Amazon promises $100 billion in investments related to data centers and its delivery network. Apple is spending money with its suppliers, including advanced glass screens and various semiconductor manufacturers. It is more of an announcement around committed orders for products, which will spur demand for factory work in the United States. Apple is a sprawling company, and the announced spending will occur in all 50 states, impact 450,000 jobs, and involve 79 different factories. It is astounding how complex Apple's supply chain for the iPhone and other computing hardware is today. However, Apple is still not at the point of a "Made in America iPhone" as assembly and other services are performed in China and India, with Apple negotiating with the U.S. government around what is feasible to bring to the United States. Investors applauded the spending plans as a way to shy away from tariff risks on iPhone and semiconductor imports, which could have added huge costs to Apple's supply chain, damaging its profits. Now, it seems to be in good standing with the U.S. government and regulation authorities again. Does the announcement matter? In regard to tariffs, this spending announcement won't necessarily hurt the company, it just prevents Apple from having future cost increases across its supply chain. However, since the U.S. has higher salaries and labor standards, this investment may lead to higher input costs for product components, which could lead to margin compression. Apple's operating margin has steadily risen since the COVID-19 pandemic, hitting a record high of 32% over the last 12 months. Sourcing components in the United States may reverse this expansion. What matters more at the end of the day is demand for Apple's products. Last quarter, the company released solid figures for the three months ending in June. Total revenue grew just under 10% year over year, driven by services revenue and iPhone revenue growth. Even though the iPhone is almost 20 years old, it remains the bread and butter of Apple's business today. This puts the company in a tough spot. Even though the iPhone remains wildly popular, unit volumes have stagnated for years, meaning Apple is only able to grow revenue by increasing prices. This is not an ideal position to be in. Price increases may be necessary just to maintain profit margins in the future if input costs grow due to the Made-in-America investments. All in all, this announcement does matter. It just might be a negative for Apple's business, contrary to the stock's initial reaction. The truth about Apple stock There are a lot of arguments to be made -- both bearish and bullish -- for Apple stock. Bulls might say this is a fantastic brand with major lock-in effects along with a growing services division with strong profit margins. Bears may say that Apple's unit volumes for the iPhone have fallen with no new successful products coming down the pipeline. For example, the Apple Vision Pro has turned into a total product bust, likely losing the company billions if not tens of billions of dollars. A deciding factor in this debate could be the stock's valuation. Apple's price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is 35. This is quite expensive for a business with low revenue growth. Compare that to Alphabet, which has grown its revenue significantly faster than Apple over the last few years but trades at a more reasonable P/E ratio of 22. Apple may be a great business, but that doesn't mean you should ignore the price you pay when analyzing its stock. Avoid buying shares of Apple after this post-announcement pop.
