McCormick's Potato Topping Seasoning if you need a cheap thrill for your we-have-food-at-home roasted potatoes, so you won't be tempted to order Domino's once again this week.

Oh and it'll also remind you that your pal owes you an ice-cream sundae. You might want to go ahead and buy two now.

Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens you can easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry because you've started to notice your chompers are leaning on the yellow side. Buh-bye annoying strips and coffee stains.

One reviewer swears that you should "Buy a lifetime supply immediately." A *rocking* camping chair in a fun color combo so you'll 1) have a comfy place to sit for a spell and 2) help you differentiate your seat in a sea of boring neutral camping chairs at the park or your kid's game. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey due to the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain.

A fast-acting refillable plug-in fly trap's guiding light can cover up to 400 square feet of space to ensnare those annoying little bugs that keep flying around you while you're then when you're just trying to enjoy your home-cooked meal.

And they're currently filming Lestat's rock star season now!!!!!! A set of cat-shaped dual-sided sponges if you could use a little more encouragement to hand-wash your dishes that just won't fit in the dishwasher.

Some Frogglez (aka *comfortable* swim goggles that stay PUT) that'll make your kid look like an extra in an episode of Doctor Who and, perhaps, inspire them to finally jump off into the deep end.

Now's as good of a time as ever to FaceTime your mom and scare her. A crabby clip-on strainer will take up less storage space than a colander but be incredibly more effective at keeping noods in the pot than your go-to method of blocking them with a fork. Idk how he'll feel about you using him to try out that seafood pasta recipe you saw on TikTok, though.... An egg white separator that'll make for an amazing photo op while you *successfully* separate yolks for all kinds of baking projects! A "laptop" cat-scratching toy can make for hilarious photo ops but also just might keep your kitty occupied while you're on your *own* Zoom.

A super entertaining rolling egg dispenser to save you some space and — thanks to its genius design — put a new egg forward within your reach after you take one out.

A clear toy blocker to stop pets' and kids' toys and balls from rolling underneath the couch, other furniture, and even some appliances. Because of course it happens to their FAVORITE toy and then you have to go to the end of the earth (aka, behind your couch) to retrieve it — only for them to do it again and again and again. A hands-free Bluetooth remote for a silly-right-now purchase you'll be grateful you bought once you get nice and cozy under a blanket while reading on your Kindle. A Saucemoto dip clip here to cradle your delish fast-food-lunch-in-car sauce as you dip to your heart's content without worrying about spilling honey mustard all over your office pants. Some hospital socks because real ones know that they're the grippiest, comfiest socks you can get for just lounging around at home. Hopefully you only experience them *at* home and not in an actual hospital. (Also you can buy them on Amazon so you don't have to hoard them next time a loved one is scheduled for surgery.) A sandwich cutter and sealer to help you DIY your own Uncrustables at home because those lil' sandwiches are delicious, but they do add up cost-wise very quickly. Plus, IMO, they're part of a perfect adult-at-desk lunch. Go ahead and let your office nemesis talk about how weird they are. Umm, seems like jealousy to me. A pair of reading glasses can let you look at stuff while horizontal so whoever's in the living room can never truly tell if you're asleep or not. What a fun (for you), scary (for them) trick! Some kitty cat oven mitts will help protect your paws from sizzling cookie sheets. A snail hand soap dispenser as a reminder to wash those paws! OR you could use it to dispense liquid dish soap. A Cherry Chomper that'd be perfect to help you get a snack AND practice your "NOM NOM NOM" cartoon voice while removing cherry and olive pits. (I can't be the only one who feels like I'm in The Witches of Eastwick when I eat cherries.)

27 Things To Make Daily Sunscreen Application Easier
First off, if you any questions about SPF, check out our sunscreen Q&A with dermatologists. But if you're too impatient to read that, know that 1) you should aim for SPF 30 or higher 2) no one is safe from sun exposure — even if you have melanated skin and 3) SPF has expiration dates so be sure to check it before you slather it on for the day. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizing Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 glides on and soaks in without leaving behind a greasy feel. Yes, you KNOW you need to wear sunscreen, but you have oily skin and sometimes you skip for texture reasons. Here's your solution. And its cousin, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer, also has SPF 50 to protect from UV rays and keep your skin (looking and feeling) in top-top shape. Plus, it's fragrance free so it can play nice with sensitive skin. Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 is a splurgey investment that just might completely replace foundation in your daily routine. (It has for one of our writers!) And it giving tinted coverage is *also* a good thing because you can tell where you put it and where you didn't. No more random little slivers of sunburned cheek! And if you're into tinted protection, also consider La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 40 Tinted Sunscreen. This is tinted enough (while blending beautifully!) to give you coverage on both fronts. I've used this in several locales, including during a July vacation in Grand Cayman when it stayed PUT even though I all but ate and slept in the saltwater pool. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers pair well with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply. Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 is a fun sunscreen you'll want to reapply even before it's time! Oh and it'll also remind you that your pal owes you an ice-cream sundae. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar is a quick K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake. And if you're sold on a solid SPF, this Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen really sticks to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on friendly! (I love to keep this in my purse all the time.) Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm gives you a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't end up with fried lips. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen. Coppertone Glow with Shimmer Sunscreen Spray in SPF 30 gives you that been-outside-all-summer glow — even if the most light you've basked in has been the light of your phone three mere inches from your face as you scroll through TikTok at 3 a.m. A refillable sunscreen sponge applicator with a rollerball inside makes reapplication SO much easier. Even for your family members (especially kids!) who always complain later after they avoided reapplication OR "reapplied" but somehow still have an extremely sunburnt stomach. Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 beloved by reviewers with melanated skin for good reason. It rubs in (like, actually rubs in) and doesn't leave any ashy white effect. Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 comes in a two-pack so you can know you'll be covered without FEELING like you're covered in greasy sun protection. Have you even SEEN how expensive aerosol sunscreens are in drugstores lately? True highway robbery. Milani Make It Last Sunscreen Setting Spray / Primer with SPF 30 helps you combine three beauty products into make your makeup waterproof for up to 16 hours. After all, if you're going to bother putting on makeup during the blistering heat of summer, you might as well make sure it stays PUT. If you're feeling splurgey, Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow Gel SPF 45 delivers on some major glitz while blocking the sun's harmful rays. In case you've always thought, "I love how people look all glowy while oiled up!" but have gone for traditional SPF for obvious reasons, here's your sign to try this. A sand removal bag filled with talc-free, reef-friendly powder brushes off the scratchy stuff when it's time to reapply your sunscreen. Exfoliation scrubbing is happening LATER in the shower, not in between SPF layers on the beach, OK? Also, it'll be fab when it's time to leave the beach and you don't want to track a bucket's worth of sand into your car. Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp and Hair Mist makes sure that your precious hair part doesn't get burned while you're doing whatever you're doing outdoors. This also doesn't turn your roots or scalp a different color! Or if your scalp is a bit oily, Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush covers your face like a setting powder on top of makeup, but reviewers especially love it for scalp coverage. They also call out that it's a cheaper alt for both the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum, which reviewers ADORE as a priming moisturizer. Because sometimes, when you're doing a full face and your SPF isn't built into another product, even the BEST sunscreen users can forget it! Oh, and there's zero white cast! Vacation Chardonnay *Plumping* Lip Oil SPF 30 provides some intense moisture in a yummy caramel-vanilla flavor because maybe your signature red lipstick has zero SPF in it. Layer this on! Or if you want some more *clear* protection Black Girl Sunscreen's Make It Pop Sungloss with SPF 50 works beautifully on bare lips or on top of another color. Naked Sundays SPF 50 Glow + Go Lip Oil in watermelon swipes on so quick and easy — whether or not you wear it solo or layer on top of lip liner. CeraVe Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 is a sheer formula to make you glow without feeling like you put on an extra layer or drying you out. Because sometimes you forgo SPF because it doesn't blend in so great. Enter: this. Kate Somerville Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray that — ya' guessed it — has SPF 50 in it for when you've got a full face for your boat day and don't wanna layer a sunscreen with a cast on top of your look. And it smells really nice! Dr. Loretta SPF 40 Urban Antioxidant Sunscreen layers RIDICULOUSLY well under a full face of makeup WITHOUT any pilling (which apparently is still a big ask in 2025)?! And it has a lovely pearlescent sheen for anyone who loves highlighter. An 18-ounce jug of Supergoop Everyday SPF 50 Lotion in an obvious-enough size and shape that you can park by your door as a reminder to apply before you leave your home. Oh, and there's no white cast! Mixsoon Bean SPF 50 Sunscreen has an "airy" texture in case you're in the nongreasy sunscreen camp. (Aren't we all?) If you're looking for something that works well with a full face of makeup, this might just be it!

Sunscreen as a flex? Why are these 'status' SPF products everywhere?
There's nothing chic about walking around looking like a bright red tomato thanks to a sunburn. And since using sunscreen is one of the surest ways to avoid getting burnt, it means that SPF is one of the best accessories. We've spent years reporting on what to look for when shopping for sunscreen and experts have consistently told us that you need a SPF of at least 30 and something that offers broad-spectrum protection. Thankfully, hundreds of brands on the market meet this criteria. And while you can very well go with the basic formulas and brands that have been around since you were a kid, there are many newer brands out there that have a bit more of a cool factor. Below, we've rounded up sunscreens that one could call 'status sunscreens,' meaning that they instantly broadcast that you are in the beauty know. Supergoop! Superscreen Think of this as the O.G. when it comes to status sunscreens. While the brand has several formulas, we like this one because it provides broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection while hydrating the skin like a moisturizer. It absorbs quickly into the skin and also filters blue light from devices, according to the brand. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin, who has sensitive, combination skin, is a big fan and says she likes that it combines two steps of her skin care routine into one. Dune Bod Guard Dune's Bod Guard, an NBC Select Wellness Award winner, is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It is intended to be used on the body and doesn't leave behind a white cast. It also contains moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E and hibiscus fruit extract, according to the brand. Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 Nope, this is not a can of whipped cream—even if it looks like one. Vacation's Classic Whip SPF 30 looks almost like shaving cream, goes on smooth, and absorbs quickly. According to the brand, it is reef-safe, water-resistant, and good for sensitive skin. The formula also contains coconut oil, vitamin E and aloe vera to hydrate and soothe the skin as you wear it. I use this sunscreen every morning and love how it sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft. It feels more like a serum than a lotion and contains hyaluronic acid to moisturize. I've also found that it doubles as a primer and makes my foundation go on smoother when I use it. Prefer mineral sunscreen? Try this one from Nécessaire. The brand is known for trying to keep a low carbon footprint and using sustainable practices when formulating its products. This sunscreen is hypoallergenic and contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol to nourish and hydrate skin. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a writer at NBC Select who covers various topics, including home, tech and beauty. I have covered major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for over a decade.
