Amazon Prime Day's Most-Wanted—Up to 40% Off
Hunting down the best Prime Day deals is one of the most daunting tasks for even the most seasoned of shoppers; and I know first hand as I've been combing through the site for days. In my search, I realized that some of my most-cherished products—also endorsed by the industry's most esteemed experts—are on sale. If you don't shop anything else this Prime Day, make it these.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Packed with a blend of shea and murumuru seed butter, Summer Friday's lip butter is one of the most comfortable—and flattering lip balms on the market. Shade Vanilla is a crowd-favorite that goes on pretty clear, while Brown Sugar skews more chocolate, and new shade Guava is a vibrant girly pink.
Maybelline Sky High Lash Sensational Mascara
Since its 2021 launch, Maybelline's Sky High Lash Sensational Mascara has garnered many rave reviews—from Vogue editors and the pros alike. 'I absolutely adore Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara,' celebrity makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher, who works with Reese Witherspoon and Emma Roberts previously said. 'It gives my lashes insane volume without the hassle of smudging or flaking, and it stays put all day long.'

Red Light Therapeutic Face Mask $349
$279

AMAZON
'[This] has 132 LEDs to deliver red and near infrared wavelengths for a FDA-cleared full face anti-aging [device], making it a good treatment for a patient wanting to treat wrinkles, improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of brown spots and does not have acne concerns,' double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Angela Sturm previously said of this Higherdose mask.
Saie Dew Blush
'Saie's liquid blush is my all-time favorite—it checks the boxes for lasting pigment, easily blended texture, and non-pore clogging ingredients,' Vogue's beauty commerce writer Concetta Ciarlo says. 'My favorite shade for everyday is Lady, a perfectly nude mauve.'
Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
This Korean sheet mask is drenched in low-molecular weight collagen peptides, galactomyces, oligo hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to reduce pore size, plump, and hydrate skin overnight. Since my initial test last year, I've kept this glass skin-boosting solution in my ever-evolving routine.
Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid
This formula by Beauty of Joseon proves that Korea shines in even the tinted sunscreen realm. Each of its 12 shades is powered by a 20.9% zinc oxide for mineral UVA and UVB protection, whipped into a lightweight cream that evens skin tones to a nourishing finish.
Olay Retinol24 + Peptide Moisturizer
Dermatologist Dr. Lauren Penzi recommends Olay's wrinkle cream because 'it contains a blend of their proprietary retinoid complex, along with niacinamide and amino peptides that help to revive and rejuvenate the skin.'
Laneige Bouncy and Firm Sleeping Mask
We'd go as far to say that Laneige's Bouncy and Firm mask is a sleeper hit in its portfolio. While many of the brand's devotees gravitate towards its Lip, Water, and Cica masks (which are also on sale by the way), we bid you to try this one—rich in peony extract and collagen to plump and hydrate skin overnight.
Prime Day Makeup Deals—Up to 40% Off
Summer beauty routines call for lightweight formulas like skin tints enriched with SPF—and a good brow, via Anastasia Beverly Hills's beloved pencil. Of course, some products stand the test of time no matter the season, like lengthening mascaras such as L'Oréal Paris's formula, which gives you the illusion of eyelash extensions. You'll also need a waterproof mascara and eyeliner that holds up against dips in the pool. Finish your regimen with a good non-sticky lip gloss, like Tarte's Maracuja or Summer Friday's holy-grail lip balm, and a reliable concealer exceptional at brightening the under-eye, such as Too Faced's Born This Way illuminating option.

How an alleged Ponzi scheme targeting Republicans left investors and politicians reeling
CEDARTOWN, Ga. — A federal receiver is on the hunt to recover $140 million lost in an alleged Ponzi scheme that benefited some Republicans in the top ranks of their party in Georgia and Alabama. He's looking to claw back funds, including almost 1,000 political donations totaling more than $1 million, that often backed far-right Republican insurgents. Some of these same politicians say they too lost money, but others left holding the bag for First Liberty Building & Loan are rank-and-file conservatives, swayed by talk show pundits who promoted it as an opportunity for Christians and 'America First MAGA patriots.' 'I worked my whole life to build up savings and have a little bit of retirement so I could just live comfortably,' said Michael Tinney, a 59-year-old real estate broker from Cedartown, Georgia. Tinney said he deposited $600,000 after hearing First Liberty pitched on shows hosted by conservatives including Erick Erickson, Hugh Hewitt and Charlie Kirk. First Liberty had promised returns up to 16% by making high-interest loans to businesses. Brant Frost IV, an evangelical powerbroker, touted 'Wall Street returns for Main Street investors.' But he skimmed $17 million for himself, his relatives and their affiliated companies, and loaned millions more that borrowers never repaid, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit claims. 'We've got retired teachers, we've got retired businessmen, we've got retired ministers who have been part of this program as well as doctors, lawyers, everyone else you can imagine,' his son, Brant Frost V, said in 2024 . Tinney said the younger Frost drove to his office to secure his investment. According to a July 21 report from court-appointed receiver S. Gregory Hays, assets now include just $1.2 million in cash along with some Frost family real estate. Hays told The Associated Press it's too early to estimate how much money is recoverable, but he's moving to foreclose on collateral pledged by borrowers who defaulted, including a failed South Carolina factory. Hays also seized and plans to auction Brant Frost IV's Aston Martin sports car. A social media post celebrating that 2022 purchase is particularly scorned by angry investors. But Hays doubts he can get everything back. 'The investors are going to have substantial losses here,' he said. Georgia and Alabama also are investigating. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger urged politicians to return campaign cash. Hays said he's already received $110,000, plus a returned $20,000 charitable donation. Frost said on July 11 that he takes 'full responsibility' and would 'spend the rest of my life trying to repay as much as I can to the many people I misled and let down.' But no criminal charges have been announced, and some Frost relatives retain influential positions in the Georgia Republican Party, whose chairman, Josh McKoon , has had the Frosts' political and financial support. McKoon said the party returned nearly $37,000 in Frost donations and he's 'profoundly saddened that members of our conservative movement' lost money. Campaign disclosures show First Liberty, the Frosts and associated companies contributed widely to Republican causes, including more than $700,000 in Georgia, $150,000 in Alabama and nearly $140,000 in Maine, where the Frosts spent $230,000 over multiple years renting a Kennebunkport vacation home. Georgia donations included $1,000 to former party chairman David Shafer's unsuccessful 2018 lieutenant governor campaign, and tens of thousands to the state party. Shafer pushed efforts to overturn President Donald Trump's 2020 defeat in Georgia — leading to an indictment — now stalled on pretrial appeal — against Shafer, Trump and others. A company run by Shafer — Springwood Capital — says in a July 10 lawsuit that it lost $200,000 invested in First Liberty. Its attorney, Brent Herrin, said the company is 'one of hundreds of defrauded investors.' Herrin declined to confirm Shafer owns the company, but financial disclosures show Shafer in 2017 owned at least part of Springwood Capital's parent company. McKoon, who received $4,500 in Frost donations, handled Springwood Capital's incorporation papers . McKoon said he didn't lose any money. Salleigh Grubbs, Georgia GOP first vice-chairman, said on a July 16 radio show that 'a lot of Republican members ... were heavily invested.' In Alabama, Republican state Auditor Andrew Sorrell says he and a political action committee he controls both lost money. He hasn't said how much he lost personally, but records show Alabama Christian Citizens PAC invested $29,000. 'The company had marketed itself through conservative channels as a 'patriotic' and 'Christian' investment opportunity,' Sorrell said, adding he learned a 'tough lesson.' But Sorrell, now running for Alabama Secretary of State, also benefited: He pocketed $55,000 for his campaigns, while Alabama Christian Citizens and Sorrell's federal-level U.S. Christian Citizens PAC each got $12,500. Erickson, an Atlanta-based syndicated radio host, once steered listeners to the Frosts. 'They're active in conservative politics ... good Christian family. I have known them for years. They are wonderful people,' he said in 2020. 'This is how we grow, this is how we fund our movement, and this is how we help out America First MAGA patriots,' radio host John Fredericks said during a June 2024 interview with Brant Frost V. Tinney said the hosts made First Liberty sound 'pretty credible.' Now he calls their warm endorsements a 'recipe for disaster,' and is still waiting for apologies. Fredericks did call the SEC complaint 'disturbing' and 'damning' during a July 16 show. 'I have talked to them many times, never had an inkling that any of that was going on,' Fredericks said, adding: 'They have to have their day to fight the charges.' Brant Frost V, accused Wednesday in a Georgia Ethics Commission complaint of illegally influencing elections , resigned from the state Republican committee Thursday and is resigning as Coweta County GOP chairman, McKoon said. Krista Frost, Brant Frost IV's wife, remains on the state committee and Brant Frost V's sister, Katie Frost, remains 3rd Congressional District GOP chair. McKoon and some allies won party elections in June after a nominating committee led by Katie Frost endorsed them. McKoon's vanquished rival, David Cross, is contesting those results to the Republican National Committee, saying McKoon and the Frosts engaged in skullduggery. Cross, a financial adviser, says he first reported First Liberty's possible misdeeds to state authorities in 2024. Georgia Republican National Committeewoman Amy Kremer, whose daughter was among those defeated, demanded the Frosts' ouster. 'We cannot claim to be the party of law and order while turning a blind eye to financial crimes committed under the banner of Republican leadership,' Kremer said . For his part, Tinney has something else in mind: 'My goal is justice at this point.'

Graco (GGG): A Quiet Performer Worth a Buy and Hold Strategy
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG) is included among the 10 Best Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever. A technician in a factory controlling the production of fluid and powder materials. Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG) is an American industrial firm that focuses on designing and producing fluid-handling systems and equipment. The company reported strong earnings in the second quarter of 2025. Its revenue came in at $571.8 million, which showed a 3.3% growth from the same period last year. However, Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG) experienced a decline in organic sales within its Contractor segment, primarily due to weakness in the North American construction sector, cautious spending by distribution channels and contractors, and decreased customer traffic in home improvement stores. This downturn in organic revenue was largely concentrated in the Americas, while the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions reported volume growth. Meanwhile, sales of powder finishing equipment remained strong during the quarter, supported by increased activity in the Chinese market. Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG)'s cash position for FY25 remained strong. YTD, the company generated an operating cash flow of $308 million, which was up by $50 million from the prior-year period. Due to this consistent cash position, GGG was able to raise its payouts for 24 consecutive years, which makes it one of the best dividend stocks to buy and hold. The company currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share and has a dividend yield of 1.31%, as of July 31. While we acknowledge the potential of GGG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
