With preppy flair and easy elegance, this dress is your secret weapon for summer outings that call for a little extra charm.

Either way, you're giving CEO energy — with a soft, stylish twist. Price: $34.80 (originally $58, available in sizes XS–XL) A halter-neck dress that walks the line between classy and cheeky.

Prepare for compliments, questions, and maybe a few copycats. Promising review: "Love that the front is conservative and then it surprises you with the open back! I'm smaller-chested, so I had to be mindful to sit up straight to keep the straps from falling. I got a lot of compliments on it! The pink is awesome." —M Price: $30 (available in sizes XXS–4X and four colors) A maxi dress practically made for summer days. It's breezy, classic, and perfect for outshining every dress around you. The lace detailing alone is a standout.

So comfy you'll forget you're not at home, so cute you'll want to wear it everywhere. Price: $64.90 (available in sizes XS–2X and four styles) A linen mini vest dress both tailored and carefree.

25 Target Products For Busy People
A 12-pack of Shout stain remover wipes that'll make sure you never get caught with spaghetti sauce splattered down your front ever again. Each wipe is individually wrapped, too, so you can just tuck 'em in your pocket and you'll always be able to deal with whatever (literal) messes life throws at you in seconds. Promising review: 'Worth the price! These small wipes are lifesavers. I keep them in my purse and in my travel bag when I'm traveling. I also keep some in my desk at work just in case!' —JessicaPrice: $3.99 for a pack of 12 Or a Tide To-Go pen, so you can stop stains from wreaking havoc on your wardrobe — or your extremely full schedule. Bring this packable pick along, and the second a mess happens, you can pull it out, scribble on the splotch, and watch it vanish right before your very eyes. Promising review: 'Parent must-have! With a toddler, my Tide Pen has saved me more times than I would care to admit. It has even helped save some clothes after the original stain dried.' —RoseTheRDPrice: $3.19+ (available in two sizes) A bottle of daily shower cleaner, because who has the time for endless bathroom scrubbing? Not you, that's for sure. But this lemon-and-mint-scented stuff is a shortcut to keeping things fresh between deeper cleans: Just spritz some in the tub or on your shower walls and floors when you're done washing up each day, and then just… walk away. Yes, really. Promising review: 'Makes weekly shower/tub cleaning easier! This is great for one-bathroom households with kids! I use this shortly before setting up the bath for my daughters. Gets rid of what was left behind from the adults showering. It also makes weekly shower/tub cleaning easier, since there's less daily buildup from using this daily spray.' —Anne MPrice: $2.99 And a Scrubbing Bubbles gel stamp to keep your commode in tip-top condition when you've, uh, not had the energy to give it a proper clean in a while. Once you stamp this wand inside the bowl, it'll fight toilet ring and limescale with each flush for up to 12 days. Not to mention the fact that your bathroom will be way less stinky on the daily! Promising review: 'I mean, does anyone like cleaning the bathroom?! I don't, but I definitely love using this little gadget once I'm done. I love that it makes the toilet smell clean and look sparkly after a couple of days.' —TargetfangirlPrice: $4.59+ (available with six or 24 stamps) A box of Lemi Shine garbage disposal cleaner pods that'll help you get the stink outta your sink, lickety split. Dropping one of these little things down your garbage disposal will clear out whatever gross junk might be lurking down there in just a few minutes, leaving a fresh lemon scent behind. Promising review: 'Yes! If you follow the instructions, this thing is magic. We had a bad gnat problem from the drains, and one tablet solved our problem. I use them maybe every 2-3 weeks, and it smells amazing. A keeper in our home.' —AloePrice: $7.19 for a box of eight pods (originally $8.99) A surprisingly pretty metal boot tray that'll protect your floors from the worst the Great Outdoors has to throw at you. Rain or snow? No problem. Mud? Handled. General grime and grossness? Buh-bye. Who knew keeping your entryway clean could be this ~aesthetic~? Promising review: 'Don't pass on this! Great boot tray! Look forward to using this in the winter for snowy footwear. It's super easy to clean off and of great quality. A must-buy!' —MagsPrice: $49.99 An eight-piece drawer organizer set to keep your junk drawer in check before it turns into a big, time-consuming mess to untangle. Rather than one big, clunky piece, this set includes eight smaller compartments of various sizes that can be Tetris'd together to fit any drawer size. Your rubber bands, twist ties, and push pins won't even know what hit 'em. Promising review: 'Organizing must! Worked well organizing my junk drawer! If you're looking to simplify your everyday life, I'd recommend getting this. Makes me more aware of what gets thrown in the junk drawer.' —LajetPrice: $12 A lightweight, bagless, cordless Dyson vacuum that'll make keeping your floors clean a breeze. This vacuum is so much easier to move around your home than the huge, corded vacuums of yore. You can change out the attachments with the click of a button, and it even converts easily to a hand-held device, negating the need to buy an additional hand vacuum. Okay, yes, a Dyson vac is absolutely an investment — but if you can swing it, it is 100% worth it. I have this bad boy, and with it, I can vacuum my entire, three-floor townhouse in 45 minutes flat — both carpet and hardwood. It's also excellent for homes that tend to be, uh, full of pet hair, if that's a thing you're dealing with. (I sure am. How do tiny cats produce so much dang hair???)Promising review: 'Perfect for pet and kids chaos! I have seven animals and kids, and this vacuum is a lifesaver! It picks up pet hair and messes effortlessly on both area rugs and normal rugs. The suction power is incredible, and the three speed settings make it easy to adjust for different surfaces. The battery lasts long enough to clean several rooms, and being cordless makes cleaning quick and hassle-free. With pets and kids running around, this vacuum keeps my home looking spotless. Highly recommend!' —DarienPrice: $569.99 A soap-dispensing dish brush, so you can stop your dishes from piling up by just… getting them done immediately. And hey, if you hate sponges, this brush should make the whole process a little less gross — just fill up the handle with your dish soap of choice, press the button on it to dispense said soap, and go to town. No weird sponge texture! No weird sponge smell! No weird sponges at all! Bonus: This thing is also great for showers, according to an honestly surprising number of reviewers. Way to think outside the box, review: 'I've been using this for six months, and it still looks like new — no stains or bent bristles. I've tried several dish brushes and this is by far the best. One tip — keep it filled with soap. If it gets to halfway or below, it's difficult to get soap to dispense.' —LarryGPrice: $14.99 A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets, because these things sure as heck beat out running your washer with white vinegar a million times and hoping for the best. (Not that I'm, uh, speaking from experience or anything...) Instead, just pop one of these inside the drum and run the machine on the hottest water setting you've got. Grit, grime, and smells, begone! Promising review: 'Keeps my washer clean and maintained! Hands down, the best washing machine cleaner ever. I keep it stocked and use it monthly, sometimes more, since I have a large family, and sometimes my washer will get closed before it's done drying out, and then it'll get that old, crusty, dusty, musty smell, and that's a no-no for me. I just throw one of these tablets in, put it on the wash cycle, and let it do its job, and then my washer is as good as new again. I've used these for years and have never once not had the tablet fully dissolve.' —CheyennePrice: $12.39 for a pack of five tablets And a box of dishwasher cleaner that'll make sure your favorite time-saving kitchen appliance keeps doing what it's supposed to do. Running your empty dishwasher with some of this stuff in it instead of regular detergent will help clear out any gunk or grossness in there with minimal effort from you. Heck yes. Promising review: 'This stuff definitely works. I recently moved to a new apartment, and I noticed my dishwasher had an unpleasant smell. That same day, I purchased it and put it to the test. Not only did it clean the dishwasher, but you can literally smell the difference before and after.' —AlexPrice: $4.23 for a two-pack (originally $5.29) AND a box of rinse pods for your Keurig, because you, busy human that you are, absolutely do not have time for weak-sauce coffee. Cleaning your machine on the regular will help keep it in tip-top shape — and thankfully, cleaning it is as easy as running it the same way you always do, just with a rinse pod in the chamber instead of a coffee pod. Promising review: 'Worked! I was getting coffee grounds in my coffee. I tried cleaning it. Nothing helped — I was even shopping for a new machine when I saw these. The cleaning cup seemed to solve my problem.' —Hide13Price: $7.03 for a box of 10 pods (originally $8.79) A set of four fridge organizer bins, so you'll never lose track of what's in your refrigerator again. You've got better things to do with your valuable minutes than squander them scrubbing out the remains of that bunch of kale you bought with the best of intentions and, uh, forgot about for… a little too long. (Gross.) Promising review: 'Great addition to our fridge! Helps keep our fridge more organized and makes it look better, too! Great thick material. Very easy to clean, too!' —SamyasPrice: $25 A container of Bar Keepers Friend, because this kitchen cleanser is good for literally everything. No need to wear your arm out with scrubbing — a sprinkle of this stuff, a touch of water, and a little time practically melts off even the worst caked-on messes. Promising reviews: 'This is a must-have in my kitchen. Huge fan of using this on any bits of rust, grease, or hard-to-clean spots. Just make sure you avoid using it on non-stick pans, polished stone counters, or the other spots mentioned on the product's label. However, I've used this to completely revamp old stainless steel cookware, aluminum cookie pans, and stovetops — making them look good as new. You can't beat the price, either.' —Bethany'Best $3 I ever spent. Nothing was working to clean my glass shower door that I hate so much, and this took it out right away. I only let it sit about 2-3 minutes while I cleaned the rest of the shower, and voilà! 🫧✨' —Claudia OPrice: $2.29 A metal mesh wall organizer, so you can prevent your entire life from accidentally becoming a hot mess. (An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right?) Having a place for all your most important bits and bobs to live — a home base for them, if you will — goes a looooong way toward stopping it from getting out of control in the first place, and a wall-mounted organizer like this is a great option for that home base. The set includes the wall organizer rack itself, along with three different-sized containers to hang on review: 'Amazing holder! I was looking for some kind of wall storage holder for a very long time, and this is just perfect for what I needed it for. It comes with hardware to attach the rack to the wall, and all the holders can be taken off and arranged however you want. For size reference, I have my iPad and a bunch of paper/mail in the large box, gift cards, stamps, and scissors in the medium box, and pencils, pens, and Sharpies in the pencil box. Thanks to this, I have been able to free up a LOT of space on my dining room table.' —ivy89000Price: $18 A Febreze heavy-duty fabric refresher that'll help freshen up your curtains, your upholstery, your rugs, your… well, you get the idea — without requiring you to figure out whether any of it is machine washable. Is it the same as an actual cleaning? Well, no, but a quick spritz will help eliminate any odors or staleness that might be clinging to the textile surfaces in your home. That counts for something! Promising review: 'Works really well! I have two large dogs and have been told that my house smells like a big dog once you walk in. Of course, I can't smell it, because I guess I'm used to it and find it comforting; however, when I use this spray, I get compliments on how wonderful it smells.' —Mommyof2NCPrice: $6.99 A three-pack of DampRid moisture absorbers, so you can rid your home of inexplicable humidity — and all the weird smells that go with it — with basically no effort. Weirdly damp closet? Basement with manky carpeting? Bathroom that never seems to get dry? Just hang one of these somewhere in the space, and it'll suck all that excess moisture and dankness out of the air for up to 60 days. Promising review: 'Effective, quick solution! These start working very quickly. We have a medium-sized bathroom that gets quite muggy. These cut that feeling and mildew smell fast. These are scented, but very lightly, and do not affect the smell of the room much.' —AlblalPrice: $11.99 A stunning yet practical storage basket or two, because you'd be amazed at what a difference just tossing your clutter into a pretty container can make when you're short on time. This gorgeous, woven abaca basket can organize anything from blankets or laundry to toys and books, and look darn good doing it, too. Promising review: 'Perfect for storage! This basket has been perfect for helping organize random clothes and items in my closet. It's plenty big and looks so stylish! It's sturdy and well-made. Definitely a solid purchase.' —LDPrice: $35 A pack of Mr. Clean Extra Durable Magic Erasers to make what would otherwise be nightmarish cleaning jobs… well, maybe not a dream, but certainly less terrifying (and therefore less time consuming). These heavy-duty versions of the OG Magic Eraser are four times as strong, so you can feel free to go to town with them. Promising review: 'These things will make anything disappear! The best thing so far is getting the yellow stain off my headlights. It didn't take a lot of heavy scrubbing, and I tested it prior to using it on a side, being careful about paint, etc. I am also planning on using a restorer to be extra cautious, but Mr. Clean came through!' —LisaDPrice: $15.39 for a pack of 10 A bottle of incredibly effective carpet stain remover from Bissell that's a must for pet owners — or anyone who's just a little clumsy. As someone who is both (hi there, fellow pet-owning klutzes!) I always, always keep a bottle or two of this stuff around. It works equally well on cat messes and coffee spills, and it gets the job done in literal seconds. Promising review: 'Cannot live without this! I have four pets, two of which are cats. If anyone has ever tried to get cat puke stain out of carpet, you know nothing works... except for this. I spray it on the stain, and within a few minutes, the stain is gone. This works for plenty of other stains, too. I will always have this on hand.' —RedrobinPrice: $5.99 A tub of Scrub Daddy PowerPaste, because why waste time trying to figure out which cleaner is the best option for your current job when you could have just one cleaner that does everything? Reviewers say there's practically nothing this stuff can't clean, from stainless steel to tile — and it even comes with a fan-favorite Scrub Mommy sponge, too! Promising review: 'Amazing product! I did not realize how amazing this is! I do love the Scrub Daddy sponges, so I decided to give this a try, and I am so glad I did! I have three kids, so I need something to get dirt off the walls without damaging the paint. This got the job done while having a pleasant smell. I also had a stain on my counter, and after using this and some elbow grease, I was able to get it off. I will definitely buy more of this!' —JazzyJazz22Price: $9.99 Some closet shelf dividers, because keeping your closet organized now means not having to clean it out later. These puppies just slide right over most shelves, divvying up the space into cute little cubbies so you keep your sweaters, bags, hats, you name it, all neat and tidy. Bonus: These things will make picking out your 'fit for the day super fast and easy, too, because you'll already know where everything is. How's that for a time-saving organizational win?Promising review: 'I purchased these dividers to organize my purses. I put my purses upright in between these dividers on the top shelf of my closet, and it made a big difference. Each divider is individual and durable, so you can adjust the width with the clips that are attached to it.' —Houston LadyPrice: $10 for a set of two dividers A tub of stainless steel cleaning wipes that'll make quick work of those horrid streaks, smudges, and fingerprints besmirching the surfaces of your beloved stainless appliances. What's faster than a speedy swipe? Not much! Promising review: 'Perfect for cleaning! Really love the ease of grabbing one of these to clean all my stainless steel appliances. I like to use this and then finish it off using a microfiber cloth — works like a charm! LOVE.' —LivingByTheSeaPrice: $6.19 An extendable, heavy-duty duster, because that big ol' cobweb has been clinging to the corner of your ceiling for long enough. The best part? You can solve that problem in seconds, you busy bee, you. The handle of this pick from the geniuses at Swiffer stretches out to a full 6 feet, while the duster head itself actually traps dust instead of just spreading it around. Promising review: 'Swiffer has outdone themselves on this one. This is an excellent cleaning tool, easy to use and, I dare say, even fun to use. The dust bunnies do not scatter…dust seems to become trapped in the cleaning pads. 10/10 RECOMMEND, especially if you're tired of climbing on a ladder or chair, etc., to reach those high places. This gives you six more feet of reach. Awesome.' —iluvshoppingPrice: $14.49 And lastly, a two-tier, slide-out under-vanity organizer, so you'll never need to clean up your cleaning-up stuff — it'll all just be there, neatly sorted and ready to go, so you can grab it quickly whenever you need it. If that's not a time saver for busy people with busy lives, I don't know what is. Promising review: 'Game changer! This is absolutely awesome for under the bathroom sink. I feel like I was able to condense almost everything that previously took up space onto one side! Definitely does need to be screwed in, but the shelf itself comes fully out of the track so it can be used on either side of the cabinet. I'd hoped it would fit around the pipes in mine, but the top shelf was in the way. Still love it on the other side though!' —tinashopstargetPrice: $30 (available in two colors)

A must-buy. You will be pleasantly surprised!" —SelenaPrice: $13.94 (available in 22 shades) A Good Molecules 10% niacinamide serum, because niacinamide is one of the skincare industry's best-kept secrets when it comes to embarking on a path toward clear, hydrated skin. Niacinamide is one of those one-and-done ingredients: it can help to refine skin texture, reduce redness, minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and even help to plump dry skin back to its juicy glory.

[I] will keep buying and making sure I keep this in my skincare routine." —EricaPrice: $5.98 An E.l.f. pout clout lip-plumping pen that proves you don't have to enter the double-digit price range for a pillowy, glossy pout. This clickable pen dispenses product for a tool-free application and goes well with practically any lip liner that's in your current makeup collection.

This is the first kind of lotion I can put on my body that soaks in and doesn't feel 'icky.' I've tried other scents of Eos. They're all fantastic. It's just so soothing. TL;DR:— the best scent and formula." —KikiPrice: $9.97 E.l.f. Skin Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 you ought to wear every single day, even if you're spending most of your hours working from home!

Make sure to reapply every two hours, especially if you're going to be out in the sun!Promising review: "I'm using this as my only face moisturizer and makeup, without any other foundation, etc. It has a nice consistency and is a very good level of moisturizer, not greasy at all.

And if you wonder about skincare lasting throughout the day, CeraVe's patented MVE ingredient-delivery technology continuously slow-releases ingredients for lasting benefits! Promising review: "This Cerave eye product is amazing, especially for the price. I've tried MANY eye products, and none moisturize and smooth my delicate eye area like this. I have very dry skin around/under my eyes, which completely fixes that. After one use, I could see it working. I use it in the morning under my face cream and makeup and put it on b4 going to bed. It also helps with under-eye bags, but my main reason for using and loving this product is the moisturizing quality and the way it makes my skin brighter. I highly recommend." —samonePrice: $14.44 A Garnier cleansing balm to melt all your makeup away, including waterproof mascara and intense lip stains! Since this balm has an oily texture, we recommend using it as the first part of your double-cleansing routine. Promising review: "Cleans ALL makeup off immediately! No traces left AT ALL! I have searched for a product like this for YEARS! I love it and will definitely Buy more! 😍" —SherenaPrice: $11.97 Peach Slices snail mucin wash-off jelly mask because snail mucin is all the rage when it comes to hydrating the skin. This mask has 95% snail mucin inside, and along with helping your skin feel plump, it can also help reduce the appearance of blemishes and dullness. Promising review: "This is my new favorite mask. I have hypersensitive, combo, middle-aged skin. This mask seems to do it all; my skin absolutely loves it. It's soothing and moisturizing, brightens my skin, cleans my pores, and balances my dry/oily spots. My skin feels so comfortable after using this. The price is incredible for what it does. The jar will last a while. I highly recommend it!!" —SaraPrice: $16.88 A Bubble Skincare mask if you're after one thing and one thing only: clear, even skin. You can use this a few times weekly to soak up excess oil and help combat future breakouts! Promising review: "The best clay mask there is! Super easy to use and I love how easy it is to wash off.

If you want something to give your hair a boost in between salon appointments, this is the perfect no-thoughts-required shampoo. Promising review: "The smell is unreal. They are not lying with the high lathering. I have thick, long hair, and I only had to use a penny size, and my hair was covered in suds. It really feels like you're getting a deep scrub clean compared to other shampoos. I got the conditioner also and I am obsessed. I feel like I got my hair done at the salon. My new must-have. I don't know how I could use any other shampoo after this." —MariannePrice: $11.97 A viral Maybelline liquid blush because blush is one of the easiest ways to add quick color to your complexion.

I would buy it again when needed." —HelenPrice: $6.12+ (available in five shades) A CoverGirl Outlast lip stain that has the staying power of a traditional lip stain with the ease and control of a lip liner, thanks to its marker-like shape. This stain comes in various colors that last throughout the day and gives a just-kissed (but still pigmented!) wash of blurred coverage. Promising review: "THE BEST!! This stays on all day, no joke. I prefer these lip stains over lip liner crayons because they usually don't stay on that long. However, I found a trick, which is to set your lip liner with translucent powder before your lip gloss/lipstick, and that makes anything last. This lip liner stain just looks so natural!" —LmishaPrice: $8.98+ (available in 14 colors) A set of Conair rollers so you can skip out on heat styling but still achieve '90s-level volume (I'm looking at you, Ms. Aniston). You can apply these before bed and sleep on them for large barrel waves upon waking! Promising review: "I was very surprised at how well these rollers stay in place and curl my hair. My hair is thin and a little shorter than shoulder length. I can't use a curling iron or hot rollers because they burn my scalp. I was very impressed with these rollers and definitely recommend them." —Debbie906Price: $8.74 for a 31-pack A L'Oréal Paris color-correcting crayon that's like a magic eraser for anything you want to conceal. Got dark circles? Consider using shades of peach or orange (your choice depends on your skin tone). Are blemishes more your concern? Neutralize redness with the green shade. Simply use this before using your concealer for coverage, making your complexion look airbrushed. Promising review: "This corrective stick is fantastic. I use it to cover dark circles under my eyes before I use cover-up." —ValeriePrice: $9.38 (available in five colors) A SheaMoisture curl-defining cream you'll want to stock up on if your curls are in need of something that'll keep them voluminous while also adding definition. This formula wears many hats: coconut oil contains fatty acids that soak into the strands to moisturize them over time; silk protein helps to smooth hair and add a silky feel; and neem oil puts a halt to frizz and adds a shiny bounce to your springy curls. Promising review: "My favorite hair styler. I already have super curly hair, but this product controls my frizziness, is easy to style, loses curls, is soft, and makes hair look and feel so nice. I use a leave-in conditioner and then apply this to my damp hair. Been using for years now and won't be using anything else." —JessicaPrice: $3.48+ (available in three sizes) A Nyx clear eyebrow gel if you are after feathery, wispy brows that you can achieve in under a minute. This brow gel is one of the best drugstore options for freezing brow hairs in place, making them look fuller and softer from the moment you put it on until you wash your makeup off at the end of the day. Promising review: "I have repurchased this brow gel six or seven times already. I get compliments on my brows every time I use this NYX brow glue and everyone I recommend it to loves it!" —MichellePrice: $9.97 (available in five colors) A detangling leave-in conditioner because using a hair detangler is the best way to quickly separate curls and get rid of knots without causing too much frizz.

Use this on damp hair and watch how easily your wide-tooth comb will glide through your strands. Promising review: "I loved the silky feel of my hair when I used this detangler. No more fighting or fussing with my hair. I've used this both after a shower and on dry hair. The fragrance is amazing! I highly suggest you try this!" —jennybeePrice: $9.97 An Olay daily moisturizer that's pretty much made for people with sensitive skin. If you're after deep moisture that soaks into the skin, paired with SPF protection, this is your new 2-in-1 daily go-to. Promising review: "I'm truly pleased with Olay Complete Daily Facial Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin SPF 15 protection. It's not greasy it's light enough to wear under my makeup, and it has been helping with dry skin on my face during the day. I really like this product a lot." —WendyPrice: $11.97 A Nyx eyeshadow stick because if you have zero minutes in the morning to pull your look together, blending this eyeshadow onto your lids and crease takes approximately zero time. It takes under a minute to apply but makes your eyes appear as if you've been working on your makeup for hours. (Oh, and it works as a great highlighter in a pinch!) Promising review: "It does its job to highlight my eye area more. I do have dark brown eyes, which are almost black and it totally enhances the shape of my eyes." —ApplePrice: $5.97 (available in 15 shades) A Wet Brush, since brushing knots out of your hair while you're still in the shower, is the magic trick for keeping your hair tangle-free! Using this will help your conditioner coat your strands more fully while minimizing breakage that might happen during an out-of-the-shower boar bristle brushing session. Promising review: "I bought this today and used it after I washed my hair tonight. I ran it through my long hair before I got in the shower. Soooo smooth! It did not pull my hair (ends). Then, when I got out of the shower, I used a wide-tooth comb and then this brush. Wow! The brush went through my hair so easily. I hope it will be like this every time I do my hair. At the moment, I am very happy with this brush." —ElizabethPrice: $8.18 (available in seven colors) A Maybelline corrective concealer because sometimes a quick and simple full-coverage concealer is all you need to slay the day.

I have found it out performs even the more expensive brands, it stays put. it even takes a little longer to wash off at the end of the day compared to the rest of my makeup. They have many colors for many complexions. Give it a try!" —vicPrice: $8.98+ (available in 24 shades) A L'Oréal Paris volumizing waterproof mascara so your killer makeup looks can last through ANYTHING — whether that's a trip to the sauna, a workout at the gym, or tears of joy.

I have a light to medium complexion, which is just the perfect level of warmth. Not too brown, not too orange, but just right. And the consistency is amazing. I don't see a lot of fallout with this.

I won't stop buying this one." —kathleenPrice: $8.25+ (available in two shades) A Nyx dewy setting spray that will be the finishing touch to your my-skin-but-better makeup routine.

Tight races and major upsets mark final stretch of federal election
Several key electorates remain in play as postal votes continue to be counted, with tight margins and late swings creating uncertainty in some of the nation's most closely watched contests. In Bean, ACT Labor MP David Smith is clinging to a narrow lead of 51.38 per cent after preferences, but independent challenger Jessica Price remains within striking distance. While Smith has pulled ahead, the final outcome may still depend on outstanding postal votes. Bradfield on Sydney's north shore, one of the last blue-ribbon Liberal seats not yet claimed by a teal independent, has turned into a dead heat. Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian sits just ahead with 50.02 per cent of the two-candidate-preferred count, narrowly leading independent Nicolette Boele on 49.98 per cent. The Queensland seat of Longman also remains on a knife's edge, with LNP incumbent Terry Young on 50.15 per cent and Labor challenger Rhiannyn Douglas close behind on 49.86 per cent. While Mr Young has edged ahead during the postal count, the result remains too close to call. In Ryan, first preference data suggests another three-cornered contest. LNP candidate Maggie Forrest leads with 35.04 per cent of the primary vote, followed by the Greens' Elizabeth Watson-Brown on 28.93 per cent and Labor's Rebecca Hack close behind on 28.19 per cent. The seat, held by the Greens, is likely to come down to preference flows. The Nationals look set to claim victory in Bendigo, a regional Victorian seat held by Labor's Lisa Chesters. With Andrew Lethlean now leading on 52.89 per cent after preferences, the seat is expected to fall to the Nationals after Chesters lost her earlier lead. In Flinders, Liberal MP Zoe McKenzie appears on track to retain the Victorian seat, leading by 18,689 votes in first preferences. While full preference counts are unavailable, her strong margin suggests she will comfortably hold off challenges from Labor and independents. Kooyong, the Melbourne seat held by teal independent Monique Ryan, remains in doubt. Ms Ryan is ahead of Liberal challenger Amelia Hamer with 50.52 per cent to 49.48 per cent, although the narrow margin and ongoing count mean the final outcome is still uncertain. Greens leader Adam Bandt is facing a serious challenge in Melbourne, where Labor's Sarah Witty leads the two-candidate-preferred vote with 54 per cent. The contest is still live, but Mr Bandt will need a significant swing in remaining votes to hold the seat. In Monash, Liberal candidate Mary Aldred leads by more than 10,000 votes on first preferences. Though preference data is not yet available, she is in a strong position to win the seat previously held by retiring independent (and former Liberal) Russell Broadbent. Over in Bullwinkel, a new seat on the fringes of Perth, Labor's Trish Cook and Liberal candidate Matt Moran are separated by just 47 votes, Ms Cook on 50.16 per cent and Mr Moran on 49.84 per cent. Thousands of FIFO worker votes are yet to be counted, making this seat one of the most unpredictable. In Fremantle, Labor MP Josh Wilson has pulled ahead of independent Kate Hulett, now leading 50.70 per cent to 49.30 per cent. The close contest may still shift depending on remaining postals, but Mr Wilson appears to have regained the advantage. Several of these battlegrounds are expected to go down to the wire, with preference flows and late postal votes likely to be decisive. Remaining seats Data supplied by the Australian Electoral Commission Last updated May 6, 2025, 10.13am Bean (ACT) • David Smith (Labor) – 51.38 per cent • Jessie Price (Independent) - 48.38 per cent Bradfield (NSW) • Gisele Kapterian (Liberal) – 50.02 per cent • Nicolette Boele (Independent) – 49.98 per cent Longman (QLD) • Terry Young (LNP) – 50.15 per cent • Rhiannyn Douglas (Labor) – 49.86 per cent Ryan (QLD) – Preference data unavailable Maggie Forrest (LNP) leads by 5,459 votes First preferences: • Maggie Forrest (LNP) – 35.04 per cent (31,275 votes) • Elizabeth Watson-Brown (Greens) – 28.93 per cent (25,823) • Rebecca Hack (Labor) – 28.19 per cent (25,155) • Other minor party candidates shared the remaining 7.84 per cent Bendigo (VIC) • Andrew Lethlean (Nationals) – 52.89 per cent • Lisa Chesters (Labor) – 47.11 per cent Flinders (VIC) – Preference data unavailable Zoe McKenzie (Liberal) leads by 18,689 votes First preferences: • Zoe McKenzie (Liberal) – 41.16 per cent (40,832 votes) • Sarah Race (Labor) – 22.32 per cent (22,143) • Ben Smith (Independent) – 22.03 per cent (21,854) • Others, including Greens and minor parties, shared the rest.
