CosRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (Two-Pack) — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $23; street price: $29
What we like: A clear snail mucin concentrate we like that smooths and soothes. Made of 96% snail-secretion filtrate. Thicker than a watery essence, more like a serum. Absorbs quickly. One or two pumps hydrates and primes skin, creating a glassy K-beauty complexion. Doesn't pill under makeup.
Other things to know: Yes, this is the sticky stuff secreted by live snails. Studies suggest snail mucin may improve skin's overall hydration, texture, and elasticity. The gloopy texture and animal origins may be turnoffs for some. Deal is for a set of two 3.38-ounce bottles with a retinol mini-sample, which we have not tested.

Ulta deal price: $19 (with store pickup); street price: $23
Amazon deal price: $19; street price: $23
What we like: Our moisturizer pick for shine-free hydration on oily skin. Just 16 ingredients, but generously packed with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and skin-smoothing niacinamide. Sheer and cooling. Spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and tamps down shine.

La Roche-Posay 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $35; street price: $45
Ulta deal price: $35; street price: $45
What we like: The best drugstore upgrade pick from our guide to the best vitamin C serums. A hearty, 10% ascorbic acid gel that seemingly melts into skin to leave a sheer, touchable finish. Includes glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and salicylic acid.
Other things to know: Scent is not for everyone, described as a baby powder-meets-medicinal scent. Pricey 1.01-ounce bottle, even on sale. Dropper can get gummy, doesn't always deliver a precise portion, and can start to look discolored and dingy over time.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (3-Pack) — Staff Pick
Woot deal price: $43 (free shipping for Prime members); street price: $72
What we like: The prettiest, giftiest cult-fave lip balm staff pick from our Korean skin care guide. Had more fans among Wirecutter's staff than any other item in that list. A yummy, luscious daytime gloss. Comes in a handful of irresistible, playful scents. Contains ingredients like soft, hydrating shea butter and antioxidant vitamin C.
Other things to know: Its smooth, satiny texture strikes us as too sheer to earn mask status. A little goes a long way. Deal for three pots of the berry flavored lip balm, which gives lips a pretty pinkish cast. Free shipping for Prime members.

Other things to know: Also contains gently soothing components like witch hazel and niacinamide. If you prefer acne-fighters with a strong smell and skin-firming aftereffects, this may be too gentle. Deal for two 5.07-ounce bottles.

Amazon deal price: $28; street price: $35
What we like: The best upgrade facial exfoliant with a range of strengths. Fragrance-free and concise formula delivers a 2% dose of salicylic acid without a long list of potential irritants. More than any other BHA serum we tested, this made us feel like it was really getting in there to lift away oils and grime.
Other things to know: Some may find the price too high, even on sale. Testers were split on the tingling sensation, but all appreciated how smooth it left their skin and noted they could feel it working. One said it could be a bit irritating. 4-ounce bottle.

Real Techniques Ultra Plush Blush Cheek Makeup Brush — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $6 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $9
What we like: One of the best cheap makeup brushes that punches above its weight. The brand's distinctive bristles are matte and grippy. Its full-size weighted metallic handles feel high-quality and durable. The dome shapes are unique and sculptural. For the quality, the price per brush is impressive.
Other things to know: The brand's bundles include some oddly shaped and redundant tools, and we recommend buying individual brushes for your specific needs. We especially like this brush designed for applying powder products to the cheeks. Recurring deal. Clip on-page coupon.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brush 12 — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $13; street price: $19
What we like: The best do-it-all eyebrow makeup brush. Dual-ended. Deftly serves all brow types, adding precise, hairlike strokes with the sharp angled tip or combing through thick, tangly hairs with its long, grippy spoolie. More versatile and high-quality than cheaper options we tested.
Other things to know: Our testers found themselves using this brush beyond their brows, such as laying down thin bands of eyeliner and shadow or using the spoolie to declump mascara.

Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $7; street price: $10

Kitsch Rice Water Shampoo Bar for Hair Growth — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $11; street price: $14
What we like: The best solid shampoo bar for most hair types. Lathers and rinses easily. Citrusy-scented, with only eight ingredients. Leaves hair clean, soft, and moisturized, but not weighed down. Fragrance is pleasant but not overbearing. Grooved S shape makes bar less slippy.
Other things to know: None of our testers experienced extra hair growth, nor did we expect any to. Not moisturizing enough for everyday use on curly strands. Contains added fragrance, which some people avoid because of the link to certain health concerns, such as migraines.
Read more: Our Favorite Solid Shampoo Bars
HiBar Soothe Solid Shampoo — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $11; street price: $14
What we like: The best shampoo bar for itchy, sensitive scalps. Made our testers' hair look and feel clean for days. Contains salicylic acid for mild exfoliation of flaky scalps. Unique teardrop shape (with a flat bottom and an angled point) helps the bar sit upright and dry faster in the shower. Lightly honey- and citrus–scented.
Other things to know: Those with serious skin conditions may prefer an even more neutral formula. A couple testers found this bar easily slipped out of their hands due to its shape and size. Not tested on animals. Contains a honey derivative, so it's our only pick that isn't vegan.
Read more: Our Favorite Solid Shampoo Bars
I Dew Care Tap Secret Mattifying Dry Shampoo Powder — Best For...
Amazon deal price: $13; street price: $18
What we like: The best dry shampoo for on-the-go touch-ups. Supremely silky and fine powder. A little goes a long way. Relatively easy to apply, even when you're on the go. Comes in a range of colors. Tinted powders don't stain, and the pigment brushes away readily.
Other things to know: Be careful how you open it, or it'll spill everywhere. Pigment can transfer to the hairline and fingertips. Refillable, but only in the original translucent, not the colored versions. Precise applicator isn't great for covering large areas, at least not quickly.

Rusk W8less Professional 2000 Watt Dryer — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $67; street price: $85
What we like: Our top hair dryer pick. Tied for blowing the hottest and fastest air among the models we tested. Dries hair efficiently at a fraction of the price of a luxury dryer. Lightweight, good quality construction with nicely placed buttons and a long 8-foot cord. Comes with a concentrator.
Other things to know: Doesn't come with a diffuser; you'll have to buy one separately if you have curly hair and prefer to dry with a diffuser (though it's best to buy a dryer that comes with one). Two-year warranty. We've seen much better deals in the past, but street price has skyrocketed over the past few years.
Read more: The Lightweight Rusk W8less Beats All the Pricey Hair Dryers I've Tried. And It's Under $100.
Panasonic Nanoe Compact Quick-Dry Hair Dryer — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $70 in black; street price: $85
What we like: A folding hair dryer staff pick. This little dryer runs on a cooler temperature and has an oscillating head to distribute heat more evenly for quick rough drying. Lightweight and quiet. Folds down into a tiny rectangle.
Other things to know: Doesn't come with any attachments such as a diffuser or concentrator, limiting style options. Not dual-voltage, so you'll need a converter to use it abroad. The cooler tech probably won't work for every hair type.

I use this anti-aging eye cream daily and I look 10 years younger than I am. Psst — it's on sale for $22
When I turned 40, with a baby on the way, it became much more challenging to conceal the puffy eyes and dark circles of a sleepless night. A few years later, I added another kiddo and tired eyes became my trademark look. I tried dozens of products to revive the delicate under-eye area, but it wasn't until CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream that I actually started to notice long-term improvements. As someone with easily irritated eyes, this lightweight cream is my daily go-to. So, when my four-year-old is up at 3 a.m. with an ear infection, CeraVe's eye cream will help to hide the evidence of a sleepless night. I'm not the only one who loves this affordable beauty product — according to our data, hundreds of Yahoo readers have also snapped it up. Read on to find out why I'm obsessed — and to shop it on sale for $22 on Amazon. This fragrance-free, ophthalmologist-tested eye cream contains three essential ceramides and hydrating hyaluronic acid. It's made with a patented delivery system that continually releases the ingredients so your eyes stay moisturized all day long. With continued regular use, you will notice a reduction in dark circles and under-eye puffiness. Apply a few dots of the cream to your under-eye area in the morning and evening, and gently smooth until fully absorbed. It works great alone or under makeup. The CeraVe eye cream, developed with dermatologists, is non-comedogenic and great for all skin types. It's great for sensitive eyes: I love how the CeraVe cream moisturizes without irritating my sensitive eyes. It absorbs quickly and is a great primer for my under-eye concealer. Each application requires just a few dots of the product, so the little tube goes a long way. Dermatologist-approved: I also appreciate that the product has been recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association and has been well-tested by experts. It's not just some gimmicky eye cream but one that has a lot of science behind it, which matters to me. Great for hyperpigmentation: With more than 3,500 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, it's clear I am not the only one who swears by this hydrating cream. One shopper said they wished they had found it sooner as it significantly "reduced hyperpigmentation" under their eyes. They stated that their under-eye area became 30 per cent lighter, which they say is a "big win." Not greasy: Another reviewer mentions how "non-greasy" the cream is and that it doesn't irritate sensitive eyes, while another person calls it a "wonderful product." $22 $24 at Amazon 12 summer dresses under $100 that flatter your arms, tummy and everything in between I've been using this anti-aging face cream for over a year. It's just like La Mer's $525 cream, but it's $476 cheaper 11 Amazon fashion finds for women over 40 that are surprisingly stylish — all under $50 It's not a quick-fix eye cream: This product is great, but it's not a fast-acting wonder cream. You need to use it for several weeks, if not months, to see any remarkable improvements. Also, you can't skip applications, or it will set your results back. Commit to using it for a solid six months before you assess if it's working for you. Some Amazon reviewers mentioned they saw no visible difference after a few weeks; however, from personal experience, the cream takes time to do its thing. I promise, if you stick with it, your under-eye area will improve — just don't give up! It's not as hydrating as other eye creams: The eye cream could be a tad thicker; however, it probably wouldn't absorb as well if it was. CeraVe has a unique formula that may take a while to work, but once it does, it's great. My advice? Don't throw in the towel just yet. With hundreds of five-star reviews, I am far from the only fan of CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream. One reviewer, who has struggled with "hollow eyes" and "hyperpigmentation" their "whole life," says the eye cream has made their under-eye area "about 30 per cent lighter" — a "big win" for them. They write that their dark eye bags are "barely noticeable" after applying makeup. "I will definitely be buying [it] again." Another shopper agrees it's a "great cream for dark circles," adding that it works "way better than expensive eye creams." "Every dollar spent on it is worth it," they write. "My advice," echoes a third shopper: "Throw out all your expensive skin care" and only buy CeraVe products. They're "reasonably priced," and, importantly, "they work." Despite thousands of five-star reviews, some warn it's "not a miracle product" and agree it can take a few months to show noticeable results. I love CeraVe products, and this one is no exception. It's gentle on my eye area, and after using it for a few months straight, I saw significant improvements in my dark circles and under-eye puffiness. That said, if you are looking for something to quickly erase a night out with the girls or a long overseas flight, this is probably not going to provide the quick fix you need. This lightweight cream will yield results, but it's going to take some time. If you commit to using it twice a day for the next six months, I'm certain you will be impressed with what you see (and don't see) under your eyes in the morning.
