31 Magical Beauty Deals Amazon Prime Day 2025
Beachwaver Luxe Leave-In Conditioning Detangler for 72% off — the cheapest price it has ever been! It's been designed for all hair types, smells divinely of a tropical vacation and helps reduce frizz and tangles.
Promising review: "Saying this product WORKS is an understatement. My child's hair gets so tangled that it dreads up fast. I thought I was going to need to cut it all off, but this saved his long curly locks. I recommend it to all my friends after the first use. It smells amazing, and I was happy to get a great deal." —Shay GreenPrice: $6.84 (originally $24)
A pack of Crest 3D Whitestrips for 33% off so you can channel Chip Skylark and belt out "My Shiny Teeth And Me" wherever you roam. And get this, you don't even need fairy godparents to get these *dazzling* results. It comes with 44 strips total, which is enough for 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments.
Promising review: "I haven't used Crest White Strips in over five years. Since then my teeth have stayed really white and I frequently get compliments or questions on how I get my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked on how much these have improved! Before the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package and were really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased I have only used about four times and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed too. I think these are well worth the money and work as good as a professional treatment, I have had friends who have done professional treatments and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" —Vanessa5o5Price: $29.99 (originally $44.99)
The TikTok-viral TirTir cushion foundation for 60% off (the lowest price ever!) that offers 72 hours of flawless wear, blending seamlessly to hide redness, blemishes, and under-eye bags.

And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner of your face.
Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." —AJ BondPrice: $10 (originally $25, typically $19.99–$25 on Amazon; available in 40 shades and a mini size) — and shop all the TirTir deals here

Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' —Review Writer Price: $7.98 (originally $9.97)
Mixsoon Bean Essence up to 44% off (the lowest ever!!!) that hydrates and exfoliates your skin at the same dang time. 🤯 This thick (but not sticky) essence contains natural ingredients like fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate to remove dead skin cells and revitalize skin tone.
Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMaePrice: $10.08+ (typically $18, available in three sizes)
The Kitsch curling rod headband for up to 30% off for heatless, beautiful, juicy curls on those days where you don't wanna style your hair with any hot tools (been there). I know, I know, what kinda magic gives you curls without heat? IDK but I kinda wanna join in.
This also comes with two scrunchies. So, I bet you're thinking *how does this baby work?* Start with slightly damp hair. Position the curling rod to the middle of your head and wind one side of your hair around the curler. Once you get the end of your hair, secure it with scrunchies and do the same on the other side. Take it out the next morning and enjoy your voluminous, gorgeous curls!Promising review: "Magical!!! Omg so…I figured there was no way this could work on my thick, long hair. I've struggled with curling irons, flat irons, and hair curlers my whole life. I was shocked at how simple, easy and comfortable this solution is! I put the set in Sunday night before bed on hair that is at least 95% dry. I take it out at the last possible moment Monday morning, and the curl lasts all day! It stays curly/wavey for three days too. Highly recommend to all the doubters - I was once one too!" —AlissaPrice: $11.03+ (originally $15.99+; available in 12 styles).
A Laneige overnight lip mask for up to 30% off if you're looking for all-day hydration in just a few simple swipes, look no further than this shea butter and coconut oil concoction. And it's infused with vitamin C to exfoliate dry flakes.
Promising review: "I just had to write a review because for years I've suffered from severe chapped lips no matter the season. I've spent hundreds of dollars searching for a product that would help prevent dryness or even soften my lips without success until now. Immediately after putting this product on I knew my search was over. And by Day two I knew I would be a customer for life. My lips stay moist from sun up to sun down and it works perfectly as a base to lipsticks or my preference longwear lip color. I highly recommend this product for soft, chap free lips." —Angela AustinPrice: $16.80+ (originally $24; available in six flavors)
And! Laneige's gloriously glowy daily lip balm for up to 30% off, so you can maintain all the moisture from the sleeping mask you applied the night before. It's packed with murumuru and shea butter, so you'll beat the summer heat that usually totally wrecks your lips.
Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Laneige and an even bigger fan of this product. I purchased the gummy bear flavor. It smells incredible, is EXACTLY like the sleeping lip mask product (but in lip gloss form, of course), and the color is SO pretty. It's a sheer purple but has just a slight tint. It's also not sticky like other lip glosses tend to be, but rather, it's really moisturizing. I can't recommend this product enough." —JessiePrice: $13.30+ (originally $19; available in eight scents)
An under-eye brightener for 20% off because you aren't sure if you'll ever actually not be exhausted, but you can def stop looking like it. It's ~enriched~ with shea butter and hyaluronic acid to give your dark circles a more radiant look. The pinkish tint helps balance out the blueish tint under your eyes as if you said a spell to make your dark circles *poof* away.
Promising reviews: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder"I can't believe this product is better than the NARS, Bobbi brown and Charlotte Tilbury products that I have tried. I didn't even set it and it last all day in the 100 degrees AZ heat yesterday! Highly recommend. I just bought 2 more! I also have very sensitive skin and this did not cause any reactions." —Charlene B.Price: $4.80 (originally $6, available in four shades)
Laura Geller's Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation for up to 51% off — swirling your brush in this compact will feel like whipping up an invisibility spell for uneven skin tone. It's racked up over 33,000 5-star ratings, with many reviewers saying it feels super lightweight on the skin and doesn't settle in fine lines — which is indeed pure witchcraft.
Promising review: "I have been searching for the perfect foundation, and I can't believe I found it in a powder form! This powder is amazing! I am 56 and it's hard to find coverage that doesn't settle in the fine lines and make them pronounced or make my pores look like an orange peel. I can not believe how beautiful my skin looks! I look like a professional did my makeup! I love it, it feels like I'm not wearing any makeup, the color is perfect, and it was easy to apply and build up in some areas, it also covered up my under-eye darkness, which is something hard to do! Love it; really try this powder. It's perfect for mature skin!" —LucindaPrice: $18+ (originally $37; available in nine shades and also in mini sizes) — and shop more Laura Geller deals here

Sounds ick but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
Promising review: "Magic in a bottle. I didn't really expect much from this — had it on my beauty list for over six months. Finally decided to give it a try when nothing else was working for my fine lines and acne. Holy crap! It WORKS! It boosted the effects of my other skin care items (retinol and AHA/BHA/PHA toner) and really really helped my skin. I'm 39 and I try to take good care of my skin. This helped so much! My fine lines are almost gone and my acne has never been better! My skin glows! It glows! I can honestly say this is a game changer! I'm shook!" —MyssLynxPrice: $12.48 (typically $18.44) — and check out all the Cosrx products on sale for Prime Day

Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" —Claire Blanchard"I hardly write reviews...but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week.. just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this... hats off!!" —DeePrice: $6.97 (originally $9.44)

I purchased this product on a recommendation from a BuzzFeed list, and was not disappointed!

Very impressed!" —Saminyah MarcelinPrice: $6.99 (originally $9.78)
A bottle of liquid gold...I mean, Lancôme Teint Idole foundation for 30% off that'll make you wonder why you ever messed with other foundations. This long wearing, waterproof magical little potion will give you breathable full coverage and keep you matte all day long.
See why BuzzFeeder Jordan Grigsby is obsessed with this foundation: "I did it y'all! I finally found my holy grail foundation and it only took like 10 years. I have oily skin, like suuuuuper oily skin. During the pandemic I was on a hunt to find a foundation that 1) actually matched my skin and 2) didn't leave me all oily and gross. An ad for Lancôme came across my phone with the gorgeous Zendaya and since her skin always looks freakin flawless, I thought *hey, let me splurge a little with my stimulus check*. I am so happy I did. This stuff is so so soooo worth it. I can wear it all day and not get oily which is extremely impressive. And even though I had to buy it online because we were in peak pandemic time, it was actually really easy to find my shade. I just looked through the models, found the one my skin looked most like, and what do ya know, a perfect match! I'm obsessed with this stuff, it is seriously my fave. I put it on and every time I'm like *that's my skin, that's my literal skin*. It isn't heavy, covers well, and keeps me matte. I treat this stuff like liquid gold and praise it like Glinda the good witch praised the ruby slippers. Thank you Zendaya, girl, you did me a solid. I love thisssss."Price: $37.10 (originally $53; available in various shades)

Overall, it's AMAZING and I use on the daily." —GoodLife7Price: $8.40 for an 8-ounce bottle (originally $14; available in two sizes and in two-packs)
A gross but satisfying exfoliating foot mask for up to 28% off to remove all that dead skin that's just dying to shed. Apply, leave on for an hour (in the provided booties), wash it off, and in 7–14 days, brand-new feet! Or at least it'll feel that way.
Promising review: "Holy crap! My feet were so badly neglected. Due to being a busy mom, who is always on her feet at work and at home. I had tried just about everything to try and repair my feet. Stones, graters, cheap masks, professional pedicures, you name it. But NOTHING worked. Until I tried this mask. I was skeptical and kind of grossed out. But I was intrigued none the less. Well it arrived and it took me a few months before I finally had an entire uninterrupted hour to myself, where I could sit and let the mask do its magic. 4 days later and i had given up hope that the mask worked, i expected something to have changed. But nothing happened. BUT on day 5, I woke up and my feet were peeling so much. I immediately had to put on socks to keep the skin from falling everywhere. I had to keep socks on 24/7 for about 4 days when it finally slowed down the peeling and could see the light at the end of the tunnel. And when I say light I mean my beautiful baby soft feet. They haven't looked this good in almost 15 years!" —JaninaPrice: $14.38+ (originally $19.99+; available in six scents)

Promising review: "FIRE. LITERALLY THE BEST. Thats it.... thats the post. JK, no seriously this product holds my makeup in place all day. Pleasant smell, not overbearing, and sticky. I pair this with Milk's pore primer and it gives my face a smooth filter-like finish. Awesome. Holy grail item." —Ariel BersanettiPrice: $16+ (originally $20+; available in three sizes).
Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream for 20% off (a deal worth replenishing for, because it *rarely* goes on sale). This is a cult-favorite body cream you're going to want to slather all over your body, thanks to the deep hydration (cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil!) and temporary skin-tightening (caffeine!) it provides, plus a fragrance with notes of salted caramel and vanilla that reviewers L O V E.

Don't hesitate, just buy" —Summer"Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed my this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle BrownPrice $38.40 (originally $48)

This product has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The spray application is so easy and convenient, especially when you're on the go or out at the beach. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving any white residue — just smooth, hydrated skin. The *fragrance* is a huge plus too! It smells absolutely divine, like a tropical vacation in a bottle—soft, sweet, and inviting, without being overpowering. I get compliments on the scent every time I wear it." —MaggiePrice: $25.60 (originally $32)
The Ulike laser hair removal device for $51 off (which brings it to its deepest discount) if you're looking for a more long-term solution for hair removal. Many reviewers notice a reduction in hair growth in as little a 3-4 weeks.
Note: This device is not designed to work on deeper skin tones. It also does not work for red, blonde, white, or gray hair. The set includes glasses that should be worn while operating the device.Promising review: "So far, the hair growth has either slowed down to an incredible amount or completely stopped as of today. I went on a two-week trip mid-March where I couldn't use the device (overseas), and I barely had to shave any of these areas. For reference, before using this, I had to shave every day and would feel the hair growing back/stubble by evening on the same day, as my hair grows super fast. The hair that is growing back is much thinner and less noticeable, and I think with more use it will almost completely disappear. I am SO happy I decided to try this out and I think it was completely worth it. I am going to start using it on my legs soon." —SkaandarPrice: $198 (typically $249)
A futuristic-looking LED Light Therapy Mask for $100 off that could help reduce acne. You get full-face coverage with a 3D ergonomic silicone eye mask that comes with a nifty eye slot so you can keep up with your favorite TikToks while it works its wonders!

Visible LED devices only treat pimples, and results vary depending on the person: read more about how to use them at the American Academy of Dermatology.Promising review: "I've tried a couple of LED masks before, but this one feels totally different. I love that I can just lie in bed, wear it, and still scroll on my phone — no need to hold anything or stay super still. It's super convenient. Didn't really see much change the first two days, but by day three, my skin looked smoother and a bit brighter. Definitely didn't expect results that fast. And compared to other masks I've looked at, this one actually feels more affordable for what it offers. I'm gonna keep using it and see how it goes over the next few weeks, but so far, really liking it!" —AmazoPrice: $299 (originally $399)
A cult-favorite liquid eyeliner from Stila for 30% off designed to stay put all day – no smudging or reapplying. Perfect for liquid eyeliner novices, the felt tip is user-friendly and delivers smooth, precise lines every time.
When applying, use the tip of the pen to create a thin line. For a bold, thicker line, apply with slightly more pressure.Promising review: "Sheer perfection. Super easy to apply. I was never good with these type of eyeliners, but after reviewing this product I figured I will give it a try...and OMG...best eyeliner I ever owned. It goes on smooth with a sharp line, no messing up. From the first time I applied it I couldn't believe how well it worked. Cat-eye done in a second or two...No need to re-apply or fixing it later as it stays on nicely all day. I use it with the little black palette from Lorac, which came with primer, and I am not sure if that helps but I put my eye shadow on, then eyeliner and I am good to go. It stays put ALL DAY, just as the name promises. And as other reviewers mentioned, using this product you will be a pro in applying eyeliner in no time. That's how nicely it goes on. I can't say enough good things about it!" —BeataR.Price: $16.80 (originally $24)
A 72-count pack of pimple patches for up to 44% off (the best price ever!!) formulated with salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and soothing centella to cover up that one stubborn, agitating pimple that always seems to pop up when you have something important going on. These work their magic by extracting all the gunk to help them shrink, all while blending in with your skin and minimizing redness so you can face the day with confidence.
Promising review: "Just bought another box for my niece. She had on the starface one and it wasn't even sticking to her face. I've used those, the hero ones and some other brand off Amazon but these are hands down the best! I can't believe the stuff that these things collect and take out of the pimple! The first time I used them I was amazed and hooked. Depending on how big and full the pimple is I usually replace it with a second one if the first one fills up. These def stop me from picking at the pimple and causing a scar. I even got my husband to stop picking his pimples and uses these instead. Now I know my niece is gonna love these better than the other ones too. I would def recommend these!" —Kimberly CPrice: $9.49 (originally $16.95, available in clear and holographic)
Biodance's TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep Masks for 30% off — it starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask and gradually turns clear while it works wonders on your skin. It contains three kinds of probiotics along with low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid, which penetrate deeply to improve elasticity, refine pores, smooth fine lines, and more. You can wear it overnight or leave it on for 3–4 hours as you go about your day!
Note: These typically go up to 32% off during Cyber Week and Prime Day, but they are SUPER popular, so this might be a good time to stock up before the word gets out 👀.Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —NalaPrice: $13.30 for four (originally $19; sometimes $15.20 at Amazon)
A set of dark spot corrector soap bars for 20% off packed with collagen, retinol, and vitamin C, a powerful trio that can even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, scars, and blemishes. It *also* contains turmeric, hyaluronic acid, shea butter and vitamin E to leave your skin feeling cleansed, revitalized, and oh-so-glowy.
As far as skincare goes, this is stuff is basically pure gold in bar soap form. ✨ You can use it on your face, neck, and all over your body as needed.Promising review: "So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne JerkinsPrice: $11.99 (originally $14.99)
The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying System for $100 off (basically their version of the Dyson AirWrap) with attachments for drying, diffusing, straightening, and curling your hair (they have similar auto-wrap curling barrels too!). It'll save you so much time styling your hair *and* space on that bulky blowdrier and accesories.
Promising review: "This is honestly one of my favorite purchases I've made in a long time. This cuts the time it takes to do my hair in half! I have very thick mid-length hair and I have LOVED the curling tool and the brush dry tool (gives a blowout look). The curls have help up for three days for me! Just wild. It's wild to be able to curl my hair while it's still wet from a shower. It is obviously a big chunk of change but a well worth it investment in my book." —KatyPrice: $249.99 (originally $349.99; available in a version for straight hair and a version for coily/curly hair) — and shop all the Shark deals (including vacuums) here
Grace & Stella eye masks for up to 29% off that'll banish under-eye puffiness to Azkaban where it belongs. The blue "illuminating" formula is down to one of the lowest prices we've seen — and it's packed with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and rosemary leaf to brighten dark spots.
Promising review: "I travel a lot for my job — think 30 hours one way and then working an event a day after arriving. These are my secret to always looking fresh and not exhausted! Even better if you can store them in a hotel mini fridge. They help tons with puffiness and dry under eye. I noticed they also make my makeup go on a little smoother. I do set a timer because if you leave them on too long they can burn a bit, but I have extremely sensitive skin. I love that they're individually sealed making it easy to toss into whatever bag I'm bringing. I've even done them quickly in the airplane bathroom while getting freshened up before landing. They stay on the best out of all I have tried and are great value for money." —Kelsea NolanPrice: $16.95 for a pack of 24 (typically $23.95; available in various pack sizes and colors)
A K-beauty pore-clearing cleansing oil for 20% off that visibly sucks out sebum from your pores and makes makeup residue and blackheads vanish, leaving your skin looking clearer and feeling smoother. Reviewers of all skin types swear by it, including those with acne-prone skin (who say it doesn't cause breakouts)!
BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.Promising review: "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I've gone through 3-4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly it's heaven-sent. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don't wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right]." —rexichorPrice: $14.15 (typically $17.69)
A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne for 31% off — it's made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. Kind of like how the seven members of S Club worked together to provide timeless bops.
Promising reviews: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" —Noley"Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." —DaniellePrice: $12.94+ (originally $18.77+; available in two sizes, a mist style, and five other formulas).
A Julep cream-to-powder eyeshadow stick for 20% off you can literally swipe this on, blend it out with your finger or the built-in smudger, then be out the door and on your way to Dr. Dillamond's 8 a.m. class.
Promising review: "Okay. Okay. Listen, I have oily eyelids. Nothing stays on them, and I hate it. I avoid eyeshadow, especially sticks and creamy formulas. All eyeliners and mascaras smudge on me no matter what I do. Enter this eyeshadow stick. This stuff is perfection. I got Stone. It's a beautiful matte color.

Lucy Guo's advice to other billionaires: 'Act broke, stay rich'
Tech entrepreneur Lucy Guo, 30, recently dethroned Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire on the planet. But don't expect her to be popping Champagne bottles. 'I feel like the title changes every year,' Guo told The Post about the Forbes magazine ranking. 'It means almost nothing to me personally.' Guo's billion-dollar bounty comes from Scale AI, the artificial intelligence data-labeling startup she launched in 2016 with Alexandr Wang, when she was just 21. She left two years later but held onto an estimated 5% stake — a small slice that turned into a massive windfall this April when insider shares valued Scale AI at $25 billion, making Guo's cut worth an estimated $1.2 billion. 11 Tech entrepreneur Lucy Guo, 30, recently dethroned Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire on the planet. Margot Judge for NY Post So, yeah. She's officially a billionaire, but doesn't feel like one. Guo's motto? 'Act broke, stay rich.' The coder-turned-founder still clocks 90-hour workweeks with a schedule that starts at 5:30 a.m. and ends at midnight — including up to four Barry's Bootcamp classes a day. Guo credits her 'no sleep' DNA to her parents, Chinese immigrants who worked as engineers in the San Francisco Bay area. 11 Guo made the cover of Forbes in April. Her billion-dollar bounty comes from Scale AI, the AI data-labeling startup she launched in 2016 with Alexandr Wang, when she was just 21. guofortit/Instagram The fast-talking tech trailblazer doesn't believe in wasting time. 'I don't watch TV or scroll TikTok,' Guo admitted. 'So that gives me many extra hours in a day. I'm constantly on the go, whereas a lot of people build in relaxation time. I do fill in my schedule with fun stuff, like at 10 p.m. maybe I'll go get dinner with friends.' While she may not splurge on Bentleys or Birkins, Guo has no shortage of interests — including Barry's, EDM music festivals, skateboarding, skydiving, collecting Pokémon plushies and building startups from scratch. Her latest professional passion project is Passes, the creator-driven platform she founded in 2022 that's already generating six-figure incomes for influencers, YouTubers, podcasters, astrologers and even golfers. 11 The Post previously photographed Guo at home in 2022. Sonya Revell for The New York Po 'Passes is a full-stack business platform for creators,' Guo explained. 'They can sell merch, subscriptions, unreleased YouTube videos, live streams and group chats to their superfans all in one place.' The idea for Passes came to her during the pandemic while running a start-up incubator. Guo saw creators like Logan Paul and Kylie Jenner building nine-figure brands and realized the real power lay in ownership. 'Creators are very unique. They can sell anything, and they don't have the typical customer acquisition costs that normal people have,' she said. 'They are these small businesses that can become larger businesses, but they've been mismanaged. No one was helping them get equity or build generational wealth.' 11 Among her extracurricular passions — learning to DJ. guofortit/Instagram With Passes, Guo aims to fix that. She's introduced a suite of tools to help creators monetize their brands, from in-house design to AI. Most significantly, creators keep 90% of their profits. 'We've become 80% to 100% of the creator's income,' Guo said with obvious pride. 'Even creators who have millions of followers on other platforms tell us that we are the most consistent income they have, and the majority of their income as well.' Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Passes is focused on the relationship between creators and their superfans, with monetization baked in. 'Instagram builds for breadth,' Guo said. 'Passes builds for depth. We're more like Patreon.' Still, comparisons to another platform, OnlyFans, persist. She insist's that not accurate. 11 Guo posted a photo with Bill Gates on her Instagram, joking, 'One of my guilty pleasures is being the dumbest person in the room.' guofortit/Instagram 'Our feature set is vastly different from OF. And even if you're not doing nudes on OF, the type of creator we attract would never go on OF because they don't want that as part of their brand.' The digital disruptor also points out that Passes has a no-nudity policy and stricter guidelines than OF. Nevertheless, there's been some controversy at Passes. A class-action lawsuit this year alleged underage content slipped through the cracks — claims Guo calls 'a shakedown.' 'We filed a motion to dismiss,' she said, denying the allegations. 'Their claims don't match the investigation that we found. Bad actors are always going to be bad actors, and we just do our best to try to prevent this.' 11 Guo is also an avid skateboarder. Sonya Revell for The New York Po Passes currently has around 50 employees, thousands of creators and millions of subscribers. The biggest moneymakers include golfer Charley Hull, YouTuber Sssniper Wolf and a surprising niche: astrologers who sell daily horoscopes. 'Our creators are doing amazing things,' Guo said. 'And we're just getting started.' Her career has always been ahead of the curve. She began coding in second grade, studied computer science and HCI at Carnegie Mellon — and then dropped out after earning a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship. The California native interned at Facebook, became the first female designer at Snapchat and met her Scale AI cofounder, Wang, at Quora. The rest is billion-dollar history. But despite her self-made status, Guo is still sometimes underestimated. 11 She founded the platform Passes — which occupies a 25,000-square-foot office in Los Angeles. Margot Judge for NY Post 'People don't understand how much work it takes to get here,' she said. 'They see the headlines, but they don't see the 18-hour days.' And the billionaire has had her fair share of headlines, including the time she hosted a wild rager at her $6.1 million luxury apartment in Miami, replete with a lemur and snake. The party did not win over her neighbors like David Beckham, and she was reprimanded by the building's HOA. Soon after, Guo moved back to the West Coast, and bought a $4.2 million, five-bedroom mansion in Los Angeles that boasts a dipping pool and screening room. Being in LA also allows her to personally interact with creators in Passes' 25,000-square-foot state-of-the-art office. 'They come to our office to shoot content and record podcasts,' she said. 'It's a relationship-driven business. We're even building a music studio.' Guo's love of music, especially EDM, runs deep. Her obsession began at age 20, when she saw Major Lazer at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. 'When I was living in San Francisco, I was not as happy as a person,' she admitted. 'But I was blown away by my first EDM experience. I think it's been proven that EDM makes you happier based off the BPM. It's all very positive, happy energy.' 11 The billionaire has had her fair share of headlines, including the time she hosted a wild rager at her then-home in Miami, replete with a lemur (pictured) and a snake. Guo's now learning to DJ and often hops behind the decks when friends perform: 'I played for 30 minutes at a club in LA recently and people were like, 'That set was so good!'' She always keeps a music-filled USB in her bag, and will fly to a music festival on a minute's notice, especially for her favorite DJs like Layton Giordani, Kygo, Gryffin, Mau P. and Zedd. Already this summer, she hit Europe for a month of VIP access at various music festivals. Guo also attended the A-list launch of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in Barcelona, alongside Tom Brady, Sofía Vergara and Naomi Campbell. She's next planning to visit Kenya and witness firsthand the great migration of wildlife across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. 11 Guo collects Pokémon plushies. guofortit/Instagram 'I pick destinations based on views or mountains,' she said. 'If it has a Barry's Bootcamp, even better.' Guo is also a low-key Swiftie — though she jokes that beating Taylor Swift on the billionaire list hasn't changed things much for her. 'The only difference is my DMs are popping,' she said. 'Lots of celebrities trying to hang out. But now I'm more cautious. Do they think I'm hot? Do they want advice? Or are they just hoping for a PJ ride? It's made me put up my guard more.' 11 'I've been on all sides — engineer, VC, founder — but what excites me the most is product,' Guo said. Margot Judge for NY Post Guo was even mistakenly linked to Orlando Bloom in a tabloid because they were spotted next to each other at a party. 'I turned around and glanced at a wall, and the paparazzi snapped a photo,' she said, laughing. 'I'm definitely not dating Orlando Bloom.' The 30-year-old insists she doesn't have time to date, in fact. 'I've been on all sides — engineer, VC, founder — but what excites me the most is product,' she said. 'Figuring out the next feature, building tools people actually use, helping creators go big. That's what I love.' Just don't expect Guo to slow down anytime soon. 'I have too much energy to burn.'

Blackstone drops out of group seeking stake in US-based TikTok
(Bloomberg) — Private equity firm Blackstone Inc (BX) has pulled out of a group of investors seeking to take a minority stake in TikTok's US-based business, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Mumbai Facelift Is Inspired by 200-Year-Old New York Blueprint How San Jose's Mayor Is Working to Build an AI Capital Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over City's Property Boom LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Blackstone has ceded its potential stake in TikTok's US operations to the other investors in a consortium that includes Oracle Corp., venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and growth equity investment firm General Atlantic, said the person, who asked not to be named while discussing private conversations. President Donald Trump in late June said he'd identified a buyer that would allow the popular social media app to legally continue operating in the US, splitting it off from Chinese parent company ByteDance Ltd. Bloomberg News later reported that Trump's proposed buyer was the same consortium that included Blackstone. The Trump administration had recently issued another 90-day extension to work out the deal. That extension expires in mid-September. Reuters reported details of Blackstone's withdrawal from the consortium earlier on Friday.

Trump's tax bill is a wakeup call for Gen Z to engage in politics
Like many teenagers, I first heard about President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill the way I hear about most things: on TikTok. I was scrolling when a Washington Post video caught my eye. Familiar with our current president's flair for drama, the name alone – 'One Big Beautiful Bill' – stopped me. What could a bill with such a bold, bodacious title possibly have in store for us? I watched a few more. Then I started reading the policy breakdowns and the articles that weren't going viral. And what I found raised way more questions than answers. We're about to inherit a mess we had absolutely no say in. The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is being celebrated as a tax overhaul meant to bring relief to hardworking Americans. On the surface, that sounds great. Who wouldn't want relief for hard working Americans? But when you look closer, you start to wonder: Which Americans are we talking about? Because this bill seems to mostly help the CEOs and hedge fund guys, not the people clocking in for double shifts or surviving on food stamps. Let's start with health care. This bill slashes $1 trillion in funding for Medicaid – which covers 1 in 5 Americans. It introduces a new rule: certain 'able-bodied' adults aged 19 to 64 must work 80 hours a month to keep their coverage. Sounds reasonable, right? If you're receiving support, it makes sense to contribute. But here's the truth: most Medicaid recipients already do. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly 65% of adults on Medicaid are working – often in unpredictable, low-wage jobs that don't come with steady hours or pay stubs. Think delivery apps, house-cleaning, self-employment. These aren't people cheating the system. They're holding it up. But the new rule doesn't just ask people to work, it asks them to prove it – online, on time, every month. For people juggling multiple jobs, unstable internet or no formal HR department, one missed upload could mean losing coverage. And this isn't hypothetical. We've seen this before. In 2018, Arkansas tested a policy like this and over 18,000 people lost their Medicaid coverage in under a year. Not because they weren't working, but because they got caught in the paperwork. Missed a deadline. Many didn't even know they'd lost their coverage until they were denied prescriptions. Hicks: Trump's tax bill will crush the rural voters who chose him The bill uses the term 'able-bodied' as the qualifying standard. But what does that even mean – and who gets to decide when there's no clear federal definition? Does this rhetoric account for people with chronic mental illnesses that don't show up on paper? For people struggling with non-physical disabilities? No one can say, and that's exactly the danger. When the language is vague, it becomes a tool to shut people out quietly, and without explanation. And Medicaid isn't the only thing on the chopping block. Other targets include food assistance programs like SNAP which helps over 40 million Americans buy groceries each month. The bill raises the age for work requirements from 49 to 65 for adults without dependents. According to the Congressional Budget Office, over 3 million people could lose SNAP benefits entirely. As someone whose family has previously relied on EBT benefits, I know what SNAP means to a household. For millions of kids, it's the reason there's breakfast on the table before school or a packed lunch at noon. But this bill would slash billions in food assistance and limit access for students – especially in high school and college. Opinion: Trump's tax bill will gut Medicaid in Indiana That doesn't just hurt the stereotypical 'welfare recipient.' It hurts your friend in AP Bio who gets free lunch and the teammate who can't seem to focus during practice because they skipped dinner. A cut to SNAP isn't just a budget line. It's something we'll feel in our hallways, on our teams, in our generation. The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' isn't beautiful for the people it leaves behind. If we don't start paying attention now to what's passed, who it hurts, and who profits – then more decisions will be made without us, about us. We may not have had a say in this one. But that doesn't mean we stay silent for the next. So keep reading. Keep asking questions. Keep showing up in your schools, your homes, your communities. And when it's our turn to speak, to vote, to write the laws and not just live under them – We'll be ready.
