These Deals Fest exclusives are so good that our own editors are shopping them
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Icons Skin Care Gift Set
When my skin barrier was at its most damaged, the Glow Recipe niacinamide serum helped tame irritation on my face. That's why I'm psyched to see this exclusive deal on the whole lineup. Its toner can help shrink the appearance of pores, while its moisturizer delivers a refreshing scent. — Jacqueline Saguin, deals editor
Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow
I bought myself a pillow from Coop Sleep last fall, and it improved the quality of my sleep. I haven't touched the other pillow in my bed since, and figure today's 25% off sale means it's finally time to purchase a second one. — Rikka Altland, senior deals editor
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Duvet Cover
Regardless of what season it is, I love sleeping with a fluffy duvet. My room is always a crisp 60-something degrees when I'm sleeping, so I needed a duvet cover that would keep me cool. When I purchased this one from Brooklinen years ago, little did I know that it would become a favorite of mine. I'm buying a new mattress, so I'm snagging a discounted duvet to go along with it in one of the brand's new spring prints. — Elena Matarazzo, associate deals editor
Tangle Teezer The Zodiac Ultimate Detangler
As some of you might've seen from a recent video on CNN Underscored's Instagram, I have a small (and growing) collection of Tangle Teezer brushes — three to be exact! These gamechangers work on wet and dry hair, and the ingenious bristle design makes it much less painful to get out knots. Plus, the designs are just so cute. I'm currently obsessed with my Virgo astrology one! I've been giving them to friends too. They're just as in love with them as I am. — Tamara Kraus, senior lifestyle editor
Mickey Mouse Disney Repeating Tennis Bracelet
I'm personally a big Disney fan. If you are, too, then this is the bracelet for you. It's subtle yet effective for adding some Disney magic to your outfit. I get compliments on it all the time. —Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator
Mission Original Cooling Towel
When I tested cooling towels last spring, the Mission Cooling Towel was far and away my favorite of the bunch. It's low profile enough to throw in a gym bag or running hydration pack without taking up valuable space. Most importantly, it actually gets cold when activated. The brushed microfiber fabric is incredibly soft against the skin, which helps keep me extra comfortable while I'm cooling off. It's an easy-to-use towel that helps me endure the sweatiest and stickiest days of summer. —Jillian Tracy, associate editor
Caraway Stainless Steel Cookware Set
I'm obsessed with my Caraway pans. They're easy to clean and have stayed almost as good as new in the two years I've been using them (admittedly, the bottoms could use a better clean on my part). The organization system the pans come with is thrilling to me as a type-A Virgo. I recommend them to all my friends and family who are in the market for new cookware. — Ellen McAlpine, updates writer
Cozy Earth Women's Bamboo Stretch-Knit Short-Sleeve and Shorts Pajama Set
I gave my mom a pair of Cozy Earth's editor-loved pajamas in the tulip pattern as an early Mother's Day gift, and as soon as she put them on, she said she couldn't stop touching them. I'm also a fan of these cooling pajamas, and they make going to bed feel luxe. — Tamara Krause, senior lifestyle editor
Onsen 3-Piece Supima Waffle Bath Sheet Bundle
I love my Onsen towels! I opted for the set with the larger bath sheets, which are perfect for wrapping myself in post-shower. The light waffle weave and Onsen's soft Supima cotton help me dry off super quickly. I've had mine for a couple of years now, and they've kept their shape and softness beautifully, which is a testament to their quality. —Sophie Shaw, fashion & beauty editorRead our review
Beckham Hotel Collection Original Down-Alternative Pillow
I've never spent more than $15 on a pillow before, but when I moved last summer, I decided to upgrade to these Beckham Hotel Collection pillows. I was sleeping better almost instantly. After a year of daily use, these pillows are still as perky as the day I bought them. They're firm enough to offer head and neck support without feeling stiff. If the sticker shock of spending almost $100 on a customized pillow is too much to bear, I'd highly recommend taking the plunge on these for a more affordable option that will massively improve your rest. —Jillian Tracy, associate editor
Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool in White, 2-Pack
I'm a huge fan of the Bug Bite Thing. If you find your bug bite fast enough and use the Bug Bite Thing, it truly relieves the itching and general suffering that typically comes. Since you have to use it fast, I carry one whenever I'm hiking or camping, have one in my medicine cabinet and another in my car so they're always handy. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainable living & pets editor
Best Choice Products Oversized Padded Zero Gravity Chair
I just bought the Zero Gravity chair in purple. What a bargain at less than $70. Now that the weather is finally getting better in NYC, I need something to lie on to work on my summer tan. This one has a cup holder and device slots for my phone and Kindle (or book), so it is a must-have for my roof deck. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor
Allbirds Men's Tree Toppers
I bought these during an Allbirds sale a few months ago after having my eyes on them for years, and I'm so glad I finally caved. They're great sneakers for warm weather because the material is incredibly light and airy. This exclusive discount is even tempting me to pick them up in another color. — Joe Bloss, associate testing writer
Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds
When I'm working out, the last thing I want to be concerned with is my headphones falling out. That's why I love sporting these Powerbeats Pro earbuds. The over-ear design means they stay put through sweaty workouts and even marathons but are still comfortable enough to wear for daily commuting or traveling. A day rarely goes by when I don't reach for these headphones for one reason or another, and after years of abuse, they still sound great. —Jillian Tracy, associate editorRead our review
Thermacell E65 Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller
I also picked up the rechargeable Thermacell last year, and it is a lifesaver. Mosquitos love me so much that my friends and family feel safe when I'm around, because they know the little bloodsuckers will target me. Keeping the Thermacell nearby miraculously keeps me bite-free, no icky sprays or annoying scents needed. — Kai Burkhardt, outdoors, sustainable living & pets editor
BaubleBar Disney Mickey Mouse Classic Pavé Bag Charm
BaubleBar's Disney collaboration is everything and more. They have luxurious-looking Disney items but at a more affordable price tag.

Gal Gadot says 'pressure' to speak out against Israel hurt 'Snow White' at box office
Gal Gadot is weighing in on the box office failure of "Snow White." The "Wonder Woman" star, 40, discussed the financial disappointment of the Disney live-action remake during a recent appearance on "The A Talks," an Israeli TV show, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Gadot, who was born in Israel and was a combat fitness instructor in the Israel Defense Forces during her mandatory two years of service, theorized the movie's performance was affected by pressure on celebrities to speak out against her home country. Rachel Zegler, who played Snow White in the film opposite Gadot's Evil Queen, was outspoken in her support for Palestine ahead of the movie's release. "There's pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel," said Gadot, speaking in Hebrew, according to a translation published by Variety. "And, you know, it happened. I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office. But that's how it goes. You win some, you lose some." Despite speculation of bad blood between the two "Snow White" actresses, though, Gadot also said she enjoyed working with Zegler. "We laughed and we talked, we had fun," she said, per The Hollywood Reporter. Gadot added that she was "positive the movie was going to be a huge hit" before its release. But "Snow White" underperformed at the box office in March, earning $87 million in North America. By comparison, Disney's live-action "The Little Mermaid" remake made $298 million at the domestic box office, and the "Lilo & Stitch" remake took in $421 million domestically. After the film's poor performance, Jonah Platt, son of "Snow White" producer Marc Platt, publicly blamed Zegler, who posted "free Palestine" on X in August 2024 after thanking fans for watching the movie's trailer. In a since-deleted Instagram comment, Platt slammed Zegler "for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for." Platt added that the actress' "actions clearly hurt the film's box office." Zegler never directly responded to Platt's claims. But in a June i-D magazine profile, the "West Side Story" star defended voicing support for Palestine and argued that "a platform becomes a responsibility, and that responsibility is ours to use as we please." Zegler noted "there are obviously things that are at stake by being outspoken," but "nothing is worth innocent lives," adding, "My heart doesn't have a fence around it, and if that is considered my downfall? There are worse things." Gadot, meanwhile, told Variety in March that her "conscience is clean" about advocating for hostages of Hamas and speaking out in support of Israel. "I am praying for better days for all," she told the outlet at the time. "I want everybody to have good life and prosperity, and the ability to raise their children in a safe environment."

Disney's Got a Cool ‘Andor' Zine for Emmy Season
With less than a month to go before the Emmys, Disney's pulling out all the stops to make sure Andor takes home some gold. Not only did it recently release the script for 'Welcome to the Rebellion,' one of its best season two episodes, it's also getting the word out through the power of the press. As Disney describes it, the REBELIÓN zine celebrates 'our 14 Emmy® nominations, the filmmakers, talent, and incredible craftspeople who were responsible for bringing this show to life,' and has already been sent out to press and voters. Per a now-deleted tweet, Los Angeles residents can pick up a copy at locations like Atwater Village's Secret Headquarters, Echo Park's Stories and Heavy Manners Zine Library, while everyone else can peep the digital version here. Within its pages are the pitch of Andor's second season, propaganda posters featuring Cassian, Mon Mothma, and the Ghor, shots of key Empire characters, and concept art for the season. Showrunner Tony Gilroy also recently appeared at a pop-up event at West Hollywood's Kiosk-O-Thèque, which you can see below. ANDOR's creator Tony Gilroy and special guests at a secret Emmy® FYC pop-up at Kiosk-O-Thèque with Are We On Air?. Thank you to our attendees for stopping by and joining the Rebellion 📷 #FYC — Andor | A Star Wars Original Series (@andorofficial) August 16, 2025REBELIÓN is some of the last Andor media we're likely to get; season two's likely getting a physical release, but the only other known work coming is the series' art book in May 2026. Anyone looking to understand the show on a writing level is out of luck, since Gilroy previously said there's no plans to publish the series' full scripts as a means of safeguarding the show against generative AI. Too bad this is physical version isn't for everyone. The Emmys will air on Sunday, September 14, where we'll see if Andor takes home any gold for its last season. Want more io9 news?

Gal Gadot Admits She Was ‘Disappointed' By Snow White's Box Office Performance And Shares Her Take On Why It Flopped
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. At this point, it's fair to say that Disney's live-action Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot didn't make too much of an impression at the box office. The Marc Webb-directed movie ruled during its opening weekend, but those monetary returns gradually diminished as time went on. Additionally, critics weren't enthusiastic about the film, while general audiences had somewhat more positive thoughts. Analysts have since shared takes on why the movie flopped and, now, Gadot is weighing in on what happened. Gal Gadot Shares Her Take On Why She Thinks Snow White Flopped Since her 2025 movie release finished its theatrical run, Gal Gadot has remained mum about its performance. The former Wonder Woman actress broke her silence on the matter, however, while taking part in a Q&A for Israel's Keshet 12's The A Talks (via Haim Etgar of Instagram). While addressing journalists, Gadot was asked about Snow White's reception and whether she was 'angry' with how it turned out. Gadot began her appeal by discussing her experience making the movie, and she shared some thoughts on co-star Rachel Zegler: I really enjoyed filming this movie… I even enjoyed working with Rachel Zegler. [We] laughed, talked and had fun. I was sure this movie was going to be a huge hit. The Fast and Furious alum, who plays the Evil Queen in Snow White, went on to vaguely reference the events of October 7, 2023 involving Israel and Gaza. She then went on to discuss Hollywood's response to the situation, which she believes factored into Snow not doing as well as she hoped: In various industries, including Hollywood, there's pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel. You know, [the international situation] happened, and despite… I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here, and I always do that. But, in the end, people make their own decisions. I was disappointed the movie was so affected by it and it didn't succeed at the box office. But that's how it goes. You win some, you lose some. Gal Gadot, who was born in Israel and served in its armed forces for a time, has expressed support for her country of origin since the conflict with Gaza began. Ultimately, Gadot's sentiments drew backlash in some circles. The actress' comments were ultimately just one source of controversy linked to her live-action Disney film. Snow White Was Wrapped Up In Other Matters That Sparked Negative Press Rachel Zegler came under fire after comments she made about the Snow White character amid 2022's D23 Expo resurfaced online. At the time, Zegler spoke about some of the issues she had with the 1937 version of the Disney princess and explained that her interpretation would add a few more layers to the character. The actress' comments, however, were not well received and many shared their thoughts on social media. Also accompanying those sentiments were negative comments about Zegler's casting. Eventually, Rachel Zegler also made headlines after sharing her critiques on U.S. President Donald Trump. Zegler also drew attention for expressing support for Gaza amid the Israeli-Palestinian situation overseas. In recent months, Zegler has addressed the backlash she's faced for her political beliefs, stating that with her platform, she has a responsibility to speak out on such topics. Despite the layers of controversy that surrounded Snow White, the film has seen some wins. For example, the fantasy flick trended very high amongst viewers after it became available for Disney+ subscription holders. After Gal Gadot's comments, it remains to be seen whether the cast or crew will discuss the film's reception in the near future. Solve the daily Crossword
