This is one of the lowest prices our deals experts have ever tracked on this four-burner upgrade to your grilling setup. Ninja 65-Quart FrostVault Wheeled Cooler In testing, we found this Ninja cooler to be a touch too expensive for what it offers, but at its all-time low price of $70 off, it's well worth the spend. Whether you're at the campsite, at the beach or in the backyard, keep drinks cool using this 65-quart wheeled cooler with a 97-can capacity. Coleman 4-Person Skydome Tent Once you set eyes on a campsite, pop open this fuss-free tent that takes just five minutes to set up.

This mower has been reliably cutting her parents' lawn for nearly half a decade, and it's now seeing a 36% discount to its second-best price. Anker Solix C300 DC Power Bank Station Hunker down during power outages with this reliable option from Anker. The power station is great for charging up a smartphone, rechargeable batteries or a laptop, but it's small enough to stow away when not in use.

The 50% discount live for Prime Day makes that an even better buy, especially if you watch a lot of content on Amazon Prime Video. Hisense 55-Inch CanvasTV This alternative to Samsung's The Frame accomplishes the same picture-frame-inspired design and is hundreds cheaper. Today's Prime Day price cut applies to all four of the different sizes (including the 85-inch model at 50% off), but the 55-inch is the best value of the batch at $400 off. LG 55-Inch C4 Evo 4K OLED Smart TV Add this top-rated OLED TV to your cart to score it for its lowest price of the year. We've written home about this model's picture quality and smart technology in the past, and now it's available for less: It normally sells for $1,700 and just recently landed at $1,197 before dropping the extra $100.

Read our review Lands' End Open-Top Canvas Tote Bag The quintessential summer accessory is this classic tote bag from Lands' End. We're surprised to see it on Amazon and marked down by 20% in a variety of colors and sizes. Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Transmitter This Bluetooth transmitter plugs into the plane's audio jack and lets you use your own headphones to listen to in-flight entertainment, so you don't have to be subjected to those cheap and uncomfortable airline models any more. It's one of Altland's go-to travel accessories. Save on gaming desktops, keyboards, mice and moreRazer Basilisk V3 Customizable Ergonomic Gaming Mouse For those in the know, this is one of the most tried-and-true gaming mice on the market.

Samsung 32-Inch Odyssey G55C Curved Gaming Monitor Upgrading to a curved gaming monitor doesn't have to empty your wallet — at least not while this 39% discount is live at Amazon. This Samsung model features a 32-inch panel complete with a 1000R curvature, 1-millisecond response times and a 165Hz refresh rate. Best of all? It's far less expensive than the smaller 27-inch version that costs $247. CNN Underscored's deals experts are always shopping for the best discounts on the web.

When is Amazon Prime Day? When is Amazon Prime Day? This year, Prime Day started on Tuesday, July 8. However, Amazon is mixing it up from previous years by running the event for four full days — all the way through Friday, July 11. That's double the typical 48 hours, meaning twice the opportunities to save. This marks the first major change to the duration of the summer Prime Day festivities since back in 2017, when the third-ever sale changed from one day to two days. How often is Prime Day?

I've covered every Amazon Prime Day sale, and these are my 10 favorite deals this year
Amazon Prime Day is an all-hands-on-deck operation for the editors here at CNN Underscored. Typically our sales coverage is helmed by deals experts Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo, as well as myself. But for a four-day sale like this, we're tapping our colleagues to flex their expertise by rounding up the best Apple deals picked by tech editors, enticing makeup offers selected by beauty experts and everything in between. If you're looking to shop the very best that Prime Day has to offer, we have you covered, but sometimes, a few deals standout above the rest. I monitor price drops nearly 365 days a year, so I'm accustomed to finding the best offers. For this year's massive Amazon summer sale, I'm putting my years of experience to work, sifting through thousands of offers to highlight my 10 favorite deals. Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) With USB-C A new all-time low price on a product I use every day is enough to skyrocket AirPods Pro 2 to the top of this list. I bought these at launch for the full $249 and don't regret it even the tiniest bit. These are easily the best earbuds on the market if you have an iPhone, and today's $100-off discount makes them an even better our review Duracell Coppertop AA Batteries, 20-Pack At its second-best price of the year, this pack of 20 AA batteries is great to have on hand. Even if you don't need them right this second, it's only a matter of time before you will. They'll come in handy for everything from TV remotes and flashlights to kids' toys and more. Plus, they're 32% off. Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Dyson deals are beginning to go live for Prime Day, but there's just one cordless stick vacuum that I think is better than all the rest. The V8 Plus is one of the best values around at $170 off. It's a new all-time low and $30 below the previous discount. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger My favorite iPhone charger dropped to the best price of the year, making it quite worthy of being one of my favorite deals this Prime Day. This Anker Nano 30W adapter makes up for the fact that your smartphone doesn't come with a power brick in the box anymore and is now 40% off the going rate. Bissell Little Green Mini Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner The very first discount on the recently released Little Green Mini carpet cleaner from Bissell is now live for Prime Day. Other CNN Underscored editors swear by the brand, and its Little Green series in particular, making this first-of-its-kind offer even better at $25 off. Read our review Oura Ring 4 This might be one of the most sought-after deals by CNN Underscored staff, so I am inclined to include it in this list. Several of my colleagues reached out to me before Prime Day to see if the Oura Ring 4 would get in on the savings, and now Amazon has made their wishes come true with the first-ever discount on this fitness-tracking smart our review Stanley 30-Ounce IceFlow Stainless Steel Tumbler With Straw Stanley's IceFlow bottle is a notable alternative to its popular tumbler, especially when it's seeing this steep of a discount. The flip straw lid makes for easy sipping and coverage when commuting to the office or working out at the gym, and now the wintry Polar color is seeing a 34% discount. Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow After logging nearly a full year's worth of sleep on this adjustable-fill pillow from Coop, I can say it's worth every penny — so much so that I've enjoyed some of the best nights of sleep since buying one for myself and went out of my way to buy a second one. Now, it's 20% off for the Amazon summer sale. Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe Magsafe Charging Stand I've tested dozens of MagSafe chargers, but there's only one that is my favorite. Spoiler: It's this 3-in-1 model from Twelve South. I've found it to be the perfect combination of form and function to refuel my iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch at the same time, and today's 50% off discount delivers all of that at a new all-time low our review Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer Did you think you could make it through a list of my favorite deals without seeing at least one Lego offer? That's where one of the first discounts on the new Star Destroyer set comes into play. I bought this for myself back when it was 20% off for May the 4th, and now it's dropping even lower for Prime Day at $48 off.

Our favorite product releases this week: Fujifilm, Razer, Xgimi and more
It's Friday, and that means that we get to end the week by looking back at our editors' favorite product launches from the last seven days. Whether you're just hoping to keep up to date with the latest and greatest releases or are looking to shop them, we've highlighted nine of the most notable drops from around the web. To close out the week, our deals team of Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saquin and Elena Matarazzo scoured the web to find the best new product drops. This week brings the launch of refreshed Xgimi portable projectors, an upcoming Fujifilm mirrorless camera and Razer's newest controller grip. Two new battery-powered portable projectors are here Xgimi has launched its newest projectors this week, and they're making a major improvement over the company's previous releases. When our colleague Joe Bloss tested the previous-generation MoGo 3 Pro, one of his main takeaways was how the lack of an internal battery held it back from being a truly perfect portable projector. It seems that Xgimi knows how to take constructive feedback, as the new MoGo 4 series is cutting the cord by integrating a dedicated battery. Both the MoGo 4 and MoGo 4 Laser share much of the same design as the previous models, but now have enough juice to watch over two-hour-long movies on a single charge. Speaking of changes we're quite happy to see, Xgimi is adding a full-sized HDMI port to replace the MoGo 3 Pro's micro HDMI port. Otherwise, these still deliver a notable experience for bringing entertainment outside (or anywhere else) this summer. That includes the lightweight build that can fold up into a cylinder roughly the size of two cans of soup, 1080p video playback on an up to 120-inch screen and auto keystone correction for an effortless setup. The MoGo 4's enhancements earn it a $499 price tag that's $50 more than its predecessor. There's also the upgraded MoGo 4 Laser edition, which clocks in at $799 and backs that elevated price tag with a brighter laser light source. Luckily, at launch, both projectors are receiving discounts that take 10% off. The total bath time gamechanger Canopy just added more company to its lineup of colorful, handheld filtered shower heads. Bathe with the peace of mind that your water isn't filled with irritants. The all-new Bath Tub Filter attaches atop spout fixtures to help remove contaminants as water fills your tub. Our deals editor, Jacqueline Saguin, uses the Canopy shower head whenever she stays at her sister's apartment, and they've both noticed a difference in cleaner-feeling skin. It also hasn't irritated their eczema and psoriasis-prone skin types. The latest innovation from Canopy also touts a hassle-free install and easy cleanup; simply wipe it down or toss it in the dishwasher. Bath enthusiasts can also drip essential oils directly onto its felt pad to bring a spa-like aroma to their bathroom. Great for new parents, the Bath Tub Filter's baby version doubles as a protective spout cover for added safety against accidental bumps and bruises, while its built-in temperature gauge changes color as water warms to help keep bath water safe for sensitive skin. Retailing for $89, it debuted earlier this week in chic Oat, Jade and Lavender colors so that it won't disrupt bathroom aesthetics. For $10 off, you can sign up for a subscription upfront to deliver scheduled filter replacements every three months. Chic linen accessories that you can tote around all summer long Two days ago, Cuyana launched its highly anticipated Paloma Linen Collection. We've been able to get our hands on tons of its leather goods in the past and even named its zipper tote one of the best carry-all totes. This new launch melds its eco-conscious Italian leather with crisp breathable linen to create a drool-worthy summer silhouette. The smallest build is its Mini Paloma Bag, which is made to be worn as a crossbody or swinger with its adjustable strap. When it comes to details, Cuyana doesn't skimp on what's important and added a key ring and inner pocket for keeping the essentials like your lip gloss at the ready. One step above that is its larger Paloma Bag, which looks more like a crossbody-bucket bag hybrid with its foldable slip pocket and spacious exterior handles. Matarazzo is most excited about the largest and most expensive of the bunch — the Paloma Tote — since she needs a statement-worthy piece that can fit all of her essentials. For the past few months, she swapped out her favorite Coach bag for Cuyana's Celestia Shoulder Bag and thinks the leather quality and design are better than most designer brands. Blackpink in your area, and on your iPhone Whenever Altland isn't rocking a Casetify cover on her iPhone, she is using one of Arc's minimalistic cases. She has been a fan of these two-piece bumper cases for years, loving the sleek design that offers more protection than ditching a cover altogether. Now, Arc has launched a new edition in partnership with rapper, singer, dancer and actress Lisa. You may know her from the South Korean girl group Blackpink or even from her acting debut in the hit show 'White Lotus.' But now she's bringing her 'Alter Ego' stylings to Arc's covers with some limited-edition designs. The new versions of the Arc Pulse case clock in at $150 each. They both feature the same premium aluminum design as the company's other cases, just one of two special colors. Altland scored herself the red version, but there's also a more muted black design. A gaming controller grip that fits an iPad Pro Razer makes Altland's favorite iPhone gaming accessory with its Kishi Ultra controller grip. She loves using it with not just her iPhone, but also her larger iPad mini. Most other smartphone controllers lack support for larger tablets, which helps Razer stand out from the pack. The company is taking that support for a wide range of products to a whole new level with its newest pro-style gamepad grip. The new Razer Kishi V3 Pro XL works with any USB-C device, be it one of Apple's newest iPads or an Android tablet. That means it can support devices like a 13-inch iPad — a massive step up from the 6.7-inch iPad mini that pushed the limits of the Kishi Ultra. The Pro XL also features full-size TMR joysticks, which use magnets instead of physical contacts for registering inputs to combat stick drift. The more pronounced design hides two sets of configurable macro buttons. Supporting the largest devices to date means that Razer is also going to be charging a premium for its newest controller grip. The Kishi V3 Pro XL is now available for purchase at Amazon and retails for $200. Altland is excited to get her hands on this new accessory and put it to the test. It enters right after the biggest gaming handheld launch in ages, the debut of the Nintendo Switch 2. So if that new hybrid gaming device's $450 price tag is a bit too steep, using the tablet you already have to game on the go may be a better route to take — that is, if you don't mind ditching the newest Mario Kart title in the process. An oldie but a goodie is back and better than ever Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin might have just perfected the formula for refreshing oily, day-three hair. Joining a league of editor-loved leave-in conditioners and hair oils, the Super Dry Shampoo brings new life to blowouts and the brand's original formula. The new-and-improved dry shampoo comes in two beloved fragrances and a tweaked formula to create a seamless finish in hair. The Super Dry Shampoo launched on June 3 but has already become a fast favorite for Saguin. As someone who's cycled through a handful of dry shampoos over the years — powders, included — she attests to its benefits. The Ouai formula packs an effective blend of starches to tamp down oil and sweat. While it sprays on with a white cast, it fades within minutes to blend with hair. It also features a unique angled nozzle to prevent the formula from accidentally spritzing onto your face. Even better, Ouai's $30 Super Dry Shampoo premieres in the rose, bergamot-infused Melrose Place and the refreshing, earthy Cape Town. It seems like a steep starting point, but a few sprays of the 4.5-ounce formula go the distance. The stars are saying you need a new phone case With just a week left of Gemini season, Casetify has decided to treat us to an all-new Horoscope Case Collection with vibrant colors and designs that match your sun astrological makeup. Over 100 phone cases, charging stands, wireless chargers, AirPods covers and more can be covered with a design of your sign. Matarazzo has used Casetify's iPhone cases for the past few years and is a big fan of its Impact Case. While the price may seem steep for some at first, it protects your device drop after drop and has minimal wear and tear. For those looking for extra support, it's more rugged but still sleek Bounce Case is $10 more and up to 21 feet of drop protection. With bag charms and other quirky accessories being all the rage as of late, Matarazzo is also stoked to purchase a friendship-inspired wristlet charm to hang off the side of her phone. With her birthday coming up in a little over a month, she'll be stocking up on all things Cancer since that's her sun sign. The beloved X100VI gets a new sibling with removable lens Fujifilm debuted its latest mirrorless camera this week, and Altland couldn't be more excited. The upcoming X-E5 is one of the company's slimmest cameras to date and takes one of its more beloved shooters up a notch. The X100VI is one of the best travel photography cameras money can buy, that is, if you can find one. Everyone adores its retro design and film simulation features, so much so that it has largely been sold out since first hitting store shelves. Fujifilm's solution to the popularity is to launch a new camera that takes everything photographers love about the X100VI and adds a removable lens. The new Fujifilm X-E5 shares the same 40 megapixel sensor as its sibling, as well as an identical tilting rear screen and in-body image stabilization system. It pairs with a newly announced 23mm f/2.8 lens, which has a matching focal length to the X100's built-in lens. Aside from its removable lens, Fujifilm also added a more pronounced, contoured grip. You can pre-order the Fujifilm X-E5 before it begins shipping later this year. We typically avoid placing pre-orders in our weekly launches column, but with a camera that's sure to be as popular as the X-E5, it's worth checking out now. Retailers like Moment and B&H have the mirrorless camera listed for $1,699 on its own or with the kit lens at $1,899. Get a jumpstart on your summer tan Self-tanning can sometimes be risky business, but Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare made the task much easier by dosing its facial pads with a similar glowing effect. Enter the Face Glow Pad and the Body Glow Pad. Both work in tandem to dip you in a subtle, bronze from head to toe. Head into summer with some sun on your side without having to spend hours out baking. Skip the separate exfoliating step of self-tanning. The Face Glow Pad uses a combination of AHAs and BHAs to help smooth skin texture, while its vitamin E ingredient hydrates in its place. After sweeping the cloth around your face, you should notice a radiant difference in under an hour, without having to rinse it off afterward. Meanwhile, the Body Glow Pad uses the same formula on a larger, waffle-textured towel to polish and tan simultaneously — all sans messes, streaks and exfoliating as an extra step. It'll begin fading evenly over a week, according to the brand, with a streak-free, long-lasting finish. For $48 each, a Face Glow Pad box comes with 20 packets, while a Body Glow Pad box includes eight sheets. Socks that celebrate diversity, inclusion and visibility in the running community When Matarazzo started her journey to getting seriously into running back in 2012, the first pair of socks that she purchased at the running store were Feetures. The brand makes cushioned socks that hug your feet and also feature a handy tab to help prevent blisters. June 8 marked Global Running Day, and to celebrate, Feetures released its third custom set of socks with the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC). The limited edition Harmony In Motion Socks are inspired by nature and the coalition's inclusive ethos, with its earthy design. For those unfamiliar, the RIDC is an organization committed to uplifting Black, Indigenous and other POCs' voices in running and outdoor spaces. It was created in July of 2020 and has been going strong since. It's been active in driving change for the past almost five years and has a calendar of events live on its site if you're inspired to get involved. Half of the proceeds from each Harmony In Motion Socks purchase will go directly to the RIDC and its efforts. As deals editors at CNN Underscored, we are some of the first people to hear about the latest product news from reader-favorite brands. Our deals team — comprised of senior editor Rikka Altland, editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate editor Elena Matarazzo — is passionate about product launches that we would be tempted to shop, and we enjoy finding a coveted new item (especially one from a brand with top marks from our experts) because it means we're helping our readers make savvy buying decisions.

Our favorite product releases this week: Lego, Marshall, Smeg and more
Every week, Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saquin and Elena Matarazzo team up to share our favorite product launches from the last seven days. Whether you're just hoping to keep up to date with the latest and greatest releases or are looking to shop them, we've highlighted nine of the most notable drops from around the web. This week brings the launch of the latest collaboration between Lego and Pixar, a new retro-styled speaker from Marshall and this shiny new Smeg sparkling water maker. A new version of an editor-loved speaker Marshall has debuted its newest speaker this week, and there's far more to it than just a retro-inspired design. Don't get us wrong, the vinyl wrapping and metal speaker grill are as classic as it gets, but it's the tech and audio system that's on the inside that has Altland so excited. She listens to a Marshall speaker every day and particularly loves the out-of-the-box EQ settings that the company ships. For the Marshall Kilburn III, that combination of good looks and great sound enters a new portable package. The speaker sports a built-in battery that enables over 50 hours of listening on a single charge, twice as much time as its predecessor. It also has a more impressive internal speaker setup that's backed by an IP54 water-resistant and dust-resistant build. We also love the brand's usual inclusion of retro volume knobs on top. Available now through the official Marshall website, it'll also be launching on June 10 through other retailers. Altland will be circling back later on with more personal insight into the experience to see if its $380 price tag means it's actually better than the other best portable Bluetooth speakers out there. Nix the cleanup with these silicone cosmetic pouches Don't let stray liquid blush swipes and smoky eyeshadow pigments stain your makeup bag. Stasher, the reusable silicone bag brand we've written home about in the past, just welcomed the Beauty Weekender Bag, which retails for $40. It's more roomy than the bestselling Essentials Bag, giving you ample room to pack full-sized products — up to 104 fluid ounces, to be exact. Made with the same signature silicone, it's easy to clean and wipe down when spills do happen. No matter where your travels take you, toss it in a beach tote or a carry-on bag. If you want to break down your organization even more, it comes in new value bundles with the Everyday Bag and the Touch-Up Bag. Make cheekbones and cupid's bows pop all day long Trying to achieve the glass skin look? It goes beyond a good skin care routine and can be amplified with makeup. Benefit is here to help with its new velvety highlighter that gives you a natural glow with its lightly blurring powder. It comes in six shades that range from the fair Raya color to a deep Comet. All of them are long-lasting, can be worn on muggy summer days with their waterproof capabilities and even play nice with acne-prone skin. Some of our deals editors are stoked to try this out for events, outdoor weddings and the like since it offers a fade-proof glow that lasts 12 hours — or in some cases more — and adds a subtle pop to a variety of makeup looks. The tin is $38, which is on par with other middle to higher tier options and is available for purchase on the brand's site, Sephora, Nordstrom and even Revolve. Move over, AirTags Our senior deals editor has long been a fan of Satechi's passport cover with built-in Apple Find My support. It's an essential in her travel setup for providing extra peace of mind while flying. The company is now bringing that same item-finding technology to a suite of new products, including everything from a luggage tag to a glasses case. Everything in Satechi's new lineup features a rechargeable battery that pairs with the company's tried-and-true item-finding features. For those unfamiliar, Find My is the same technology that Apple packs into its beloved AirTags. Satechi is tapping into that same network to cover far more than just keys with some bespoke accessories tailored to specific uses. Here's a rundown of the lineup: Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Glasses Case Instead of just placing an AirTag in your existing glasses case, this stylish vegan-leather cover features the same tracking technology with a wirelessly rechargeable battery. Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Luggage Tag Most of us are buying AirTags to use with a luggage tag, so why not skip the process of piecing together individual accessories and opt for a single travel gadget that does it all. Satechi FindAll Card Bring Apple Find My tech to your wallet with this slim item finder. It's slightly thicker than a typical credit card and provides peace of mind where an AirTag normally can't. Satechi Vegan-Leather FindAll Keychain This may practically just be an AirTag, but it beats Apple's in-house version by featuring an integrated keychain clip and rechargeable battery for $1 more than the official option. Altland has been using Satechi gear for several years now and is always impressed by the value, build quality and features offered by its Apple-adjacent products. This new Find All tracker lineup certainly looks to fit the bill, and she'll be excited to try these out for herself when her order arrives. The most stylish way to get your bubbles Summer signals the start of spritz season, and Smeg's latest invention comes in clutch with a well-timed launch. For all your backyard BBQs, pool parties and happy hours, the Sparkling Water Maker can satiate your bubbly cravings. Unlike clunky, plastic models out there, this one fuses high-quality Italian craftsmanship with practical controls. It comes in a sleek, slim design and three stylish colors: Matte Black, Matte Fog Blue and Matte Jade. For $180, the soda maker also features a customizable fizz control knob and an electricity-free use, so you can store it outside on patio bars or inside on the kitchen countertop. A derm-approved skin tint with SPF One of our favorite Korean beauty brands just released its highly anticipated tinted sunscreen. This skin tint is a great addition to your routine if you're looking for a multipurpose product that conceals, protects and moisturizes. It's packed with SPF 40 protection, comes in 12 shades and gives you a lightweight, no-makeup-makeup look that'll leave you looking dewy all summer long. The bottle goes for a reasonable $20, and you can save 20% if you buy two or more at once. Snagging multiple shades is the move for some if your complexion is in between or if you wear darker finishes as the UV index gets higher. The latest Lego Ideas kit hops into action Lego has been tapping into the wide world of Disney properties for years now with its popular building kits, but Pixar is a more recent addition to the collection. The latest of those builds is up for pre-order this week. Joining the likes of 'Up,' 'WALL-E' and 'Inside Out,' the original short film that kickstarted the whole animation empire is getting its own set. The new Luxo Jr. kit features a buildable version of the Pixar Lamp and Luxo Ball. Both characters are crafted from 613 pieces and assembled into display-worthy models. I won't spoil anything, but there are also some fun Easter eggs throughout the building process that reference half a dozen films from the Pixar archive. It begins shipping over the weekend and clocks in with a $70 price tag. Our best-tested cooling pillow just got new companions Hot sleepers have a new way to keep cool this summer. Expanding upon its best-tested cooling pillows, Coop Sleep Goods just added to its Cool+ Collection, so you can upgrade your bedding to the ultimate chill zone. Running from $49 to $399, the new additions introduce a fresh mattress topper, adjustable body pillow and toddler pillow — all stuffed with the brand's signature Oomph Cool fill. In addition to the Cool+ line, Coop also created Tencel-based bedding designed to feel soft, silky and most importantly, breathable. Lay the foundation for sleep with the Tencel Sheet Set ($159) and Pillowcase Set ($39), which help temper moisture. Or, swap out heavy duvet covers for the brand's lightweight Duvet Cover ($159), available in white, grey and cream colors. Cheers to seven years of buttery soft activewear Days ago, Set Active dropped its limited-edition birthday collection. The brand is celebrating its seventh year in the activewear business and has launched three new versions of its pieces in ice cream and sweets-inspired hues. Some of the pieces our editors are eyeing are the Airluxe Breathe Scoop Bra in Birthday Espresso, Sportbody Sporty High-Rise Leggings in a strawberry pastel Swirl design, Formcloud Cloud High-Rise Leggings in a baby blue Frosting color and Airluxe Breathe Shorts in a creamy Leche. If you're prepping for summer training sessions or hot girl walks with friends, Set Active makes some of the cutest workout gear around. We love that it's just as stylish as it is functional, which makes these new drops even more worthy of tagging along on spring workouts. This week also saw the launch of other products our editors deemed worthy of standalone coverage. Shop all these additional launches below, including an upgraded version of our pick for the best budget video doorbell, a new Yeti lunch box and more. Marie Veronique Colorfree Zinc Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 32 Our associate editor, Elena Matarazzo, has been using this sunscreen for about a week and loves its dewy finish. It's been safe to use on her acne-prone skin and even doubles as a primer since it's slightly tacky. Blink Video Doorbell (2025) Blink's latest doorbell combines upgrades like 1440p video and a wider field of view with the same price tag as its predecessor. The starter kit clocks in at $70, while those upgrading an existing setup can buy just the doorbell for $60. Yeti 3-Liter Daytrip Lunch Box Yeti has a new line of lunch boxes out this week that pack the brand's usual best-in-class temperature retention into a soft design perfect for taking your lunch to work and more.
