I tested 100+ beauty products last month — my top 10 start at just $5
I spend most of my days interviewing skin- and hair-care experts and testing dozens of products, which means I'm constantly learning things like the best ways to brighten and tighten skin, to keep an aging neck from melting and a dry scalp from developing flakes. I'm always uncovering new (to me!) beauty tricks, but my favorite thing I've been investigating in the last few months is how to find affordable products that work just as well as the expensive gunk. To that end, I've been scooping up some killer deals lately, including a $15 vitamin C serum that really works and an over-the-counter anti-aging retinoid that will only set you back 12 bucks (it's Differin and it's Ah-MAZ-ing).
From the viral $5 mascara that should be in everyone's makeup bag to the lip treatment that finally saved my chronically chapped pout and the worth-its-weight-in-gold sunscreen stick, the following finds are all well-made, obsession-worthy and, best of all, none will waste your precious time — or your hard-earned cash.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

10 best drugstore concealers in 2025 (Tested and Reviewed)
I've had breakouts and the acne scars that follow since I was 11, so it's not shocking that my very first makeup bag was filled with my mom's concealers and foundations. But when I – a pre-teen with mere babysitting funds – finally ventured out and purchased my own, brand-new versions, I obviously went looking for the best drugstore concealers for acne, dark spots, and the like. Now, I'm a beauty editor with access to the fanciest of concealer formulas – yet I still find myself clamouring for some of my ole' faithful drugstore concealers. What makes the best drugstore concealers so great? It really depends on what you're looking for, whether that's a full-coverage cream to make your cystic acne disappear, or a lightweight, glowy liquid to conceal under eye circles and bags. Don't worry, though, I've tested nearly every single drugstore concealer (I checked!), and labeled my favourites below based on who they're best suited for. Keep reading for a full run-down of the best drugstore concealers. The best part? They're all under £15. Heck, some are even available on Amazon with free next-day shipping if you've got Prime. Bargain alert!

Get the Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum that ‘changed my life' at 40% off
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Spring cleaning is still a thing until June 20, when summer officially kicks in, but until then, it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon, especially when kids and Fido are concerned. Aren't you tired of stepping on crumbs and looking at the same old pile of dog hair in the corner? Your old vacuum may be spitting out more dust than it's actually collecting at the moment, so we strongly urge you to consider one of the best deals on Amazon today for sucking up dust, pet hair, and mystery chunks. We don't want to know what's in there. Today, the Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is 40% off (kind of an amazing deal!) and has sold over 10,000 units last month on Amazon alone. It's portable and can be converted into a handheld device, making cleaning out the car a snap, and it has 40 minutes of runtime on a single charge. But be careful; one five-star review said, 'I love vacuuming! (Did I just say that?)' The user went on to say, 'I don't want to say this vacuum changed my life because that sounds incredibly pathetic, but it kind of did.' This vacuum should come with a warning label because creating a clean space can be addictive and fun with this portable handheld. Also, if you're looking for a last-minute gift for Dad, this carpet cleaner arrives tomorrow for Prime members — that's 10 days before Father's Day! Not too shabby. Amazon The Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is a lightweight, versatile cleaning tool designed for homes with pets. It boasts an extra-large dust cup and headlights to reveal hidden debris, making it effective on both carpets and hard floors. The vacuum converts into a handheld unit and includes attachments like a pet multi-tool and crevice tool for detailed cleaning. Best of all? It's available for almost $100 off today on Amazon.

Amazon adds ‘caregiver' features to pharmacy app
You can find original article here Supermarketnews. Subscribe to our free daily Supermarketnews newsletter. Amazon has added new functions to the Amazon Pharmacy app that better enables caregivers to help manage medications for a loved one. It also gives Medicare Part D recipients access to Amazon Pharmacy's PillPack feature, which provides presorted medication. 'These updates deliver what our customers have been asking for—simpler medication management for themselves and their loved ones,' said John Love, vice president of Amazon Pharmacy. 'Whether you're a caregiver juggling multiple prescriptions for an aging parent, or a customer who could benefit from the convenience of pre-sorted packets delivered reliably each month, we're removing barriers and making pharmacy work better for you.' Amazon said in a press release on Tuesday that AARP reports that one in five adults in the U.S. are caring for an aging family member. The new caregiver feature enables aging patients the option of inviting a trusted individual to help manage their medication through their Amazon Pharmacy portal. 'Amazon Pharmacy's new caregiver feature provides a secure, streamlined way for trusted individuals to help manage prescriptions and place orders 24/7, when and where convenient for them—all through their own Amazon accounts,' said Tess Carey, senior pharmacist at Amazon Pharmacy. 'This ensures medications arrive on time, giving both caregivers and patients greater peace of mind.' The pre-sorted PillPack feature also aims to help caregivers save time by receiving organized pharmaceuticals, making it easier to keep prescription schedules accurate. The health care arm of the online retail giant also touted the expansion of its new same-day prescription delivery service for Prime members in a dozen cities across the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle. Amazon announced in October that it plans to launch the same-day delivery service in 20 cities in 2025. That includes Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and San Diego. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told shareholders in late May that more changes are coming for the company's pharmacy business. He noted Amazon Pharmacy's One Medical app enables users to access their medical information in one place, meet with medical practitioners, and set up subscriptions for chronic issues. 'We've built programs like RxPass, which, for $5 a month for Prime members, gives our Prime members unlimited access to 60 common medications with very fast delivery and 24/7 pharmacy support,' Jassy said. 'We are changing this customer experience that people have had to endure on the pharmacy side for a really long time. We''re changing it very significantly.' Sign in to access your portfolio
