Check out a TikTok of the AirPods Pro in action. Promising review: "These might be the best earbuds. They have a lot of features, clear audio, and mic sound. The best part of this one is the design choice Apple went with this, this actually stays in your ear, unlike the other Apple AirPods. It's even better than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and this is coming from a guy who switch from Samsung to iPhone. If you gonna get some AirPods save up for this one and get it on sale, Amazon sells it cheaper than any other stores." —Davier BoldsPrice: $149 (originally $249 (and currently $249 at Apple); typically $189.99 at Amazon) — and shop all Apple deals here

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)

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey for 30% off you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes.
I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart.Promising review: "This lipstick is a game changer. It goes on and stays on well. It is pretty sheer, but buildable. I have trouble with most red lipsticks turning pink after a bit. So, I will put this over my other colors, and it absolutely makes a difference. It's a great staple to keep in your cosmetic bag. It is something I will definitely buy again. You should absolutely try it!" —Amy H.Price: $17.50 (originally $25; also available in pink honey!) — and shop all the Clinique deals here

Reviewers also love how lightweight and wearable these are compared to other brands!
Check out a TikTok of the Beats Solo 4 in action. Promising review: 'Impressive sound, stylish and sophisticated headphones. I personally like how it's not complete noise cancellation since I like to be aware of the environment around me. So this headphone is amazing for the right reasons. Quality, style, sound, and safety. Not to mention how sleek it is. Finally, headphones that are not bulky or heavy. I appreciate the smooth texture, feel, and the cushioned headband part. It's also easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The blue slate color is classy, too! Excellent product!' —DianePrice: $97.99+ (originally $199.99; available in four colors)

Check out a TikTok of the Crest 3D Whitestrips in action. 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 about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and 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 them 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 well 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 $45.99)
A Philips Sonicare toothbrush for 50% off (the lowest price it's gone for since Cyber Weekend) with all the bells and whistles you know and love: the two-minute QuadPacer timer so you make sure you're brushing all areas of the mouth effectively, a pressure sensor to prevent over-brushing, and different cleaning modes (gum care, whitening, etc!). And hey, this is the cheapest this model goes for!
Check out a TikTok of the toothbrush in action. Promising review: "After speaking to my dental hygienist and a friend who had an electric toothbrush, I finally decided to get one. The difference is like night and day. I can never go back to a regular toothbrush after using an electric toothbrush; there's no comparison in how much of a better job this thing does on my teeth. The hardest part of using it was getting used to letting it do the brushing; I keep wanting to use it like a regular toothbrush and move it up and down for brushing strokes. I finally stopping manually making brushing strokes and just let it do it's thing. My hygienist could see the improvement during my first cleaning after using this toothbrush. I gave one to a friend as a birthday gift and she loves it. And she said that she her hygienist also noticed an improvement during her cleaning after using this toothbrush." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $54.96 (originally $109.96)

"I've been using my Kindle Paperwhite (a previous generation) before bed for years — and after reading for a while, I turn down the brightness to a low level just slightly dimmer than I'd want — after a page or two, my brain goes "Nope!" and shuts off to sleep. AND it helps me not even start thinking the anxious or negative thoughts that *usually* keep me up at night. I got to upgrade to this new Kindle Paperwhite a few months ago, and the warm light feature is a game-changer. And the page turns and responsiveness of this model are indeed faster — and I can really tell the difference compared to my old Kindle!" —BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer Price: $124.99 (originally $159.99) — and shop all the Kindle deals here

You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.Promising review: "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 by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." —Michelle BrownPrice $38.40 (originally $48) — they're offering 20% off their other creams and fragrances too!

Promising review: "I LOVE this! I wasn't sure if it would work or be good because it blew up on TikTok, and I usually don't trust TikTok recommendations. However, this is amazing! It's not sticky, how I thought it might be, but it's not too buttery either. It stays on ALL night, which is a huge win for me because I sleep on my stomach and usually lip masks rub off at night. But this stays! It's really great and my lips feel so soft! I definitely recommend. Especially if you struggle with dry, flaky lips like me." —Samantha GarverPrice: $16.80 (originally $24; available in four flavors, including Peach, Berry, Grapefruit, and Gummy Bear) — and check out more Laneige Prime Day deals on Amazon!

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 were left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well 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: $11.20+ (typically $25+; available in two sizes) — and shop all the Mixsoon deals here

Printing and mounting are expensive and there is only so much wall space for displaying the prints. The solution? This tv! Set-up was easy. My photos now happily and beautifully being displayed in a slow-motion (by choice) slide show. The results are fantastic. Just what I hoped. This is a hit for sure. I am very very pleased. Now we have to, maybe, buy a second. Excellent product!!!" —CharlesPrice: $797.99 (originally $1,497.99)Check out Samsung's landing page for more Prime Day deals.

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; available in 40 shades and a mini size)

Check out a TikTok of the serum in action. Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn't leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower when my hair is still damp I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on and then after I blow dry I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara KleinPrice: $12.94 (typically $18.99; available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas)

See why this mama calls the Tushbaby "the best invention for parents of young children" on TikTok. "A true Brooklynite, my daughter started *insisting* on walking outside at 11 months old. This side carrier helps us move things along faster when she gets tuckered out. I love using this on the subway, as she can sit down and move around without my needing to get her out of a carrier.

BTW, Tushbaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life." — BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer CallePrice: $54.99 (originally $84.99; available in three colors)

I love the Nespresso machine so much that I use it every day. It is a little loud, but I don't care. It makes the best espressos. The little tray is super easy to clean off and actually catches the drips at the end. I really like how the water container can move around to fit wherever you need it to go. It gets hot enough to melt the chocolate chips I put in my cup. This is great. It helps me save money on coffee, and I can tell it's pretty durable!

The shampoo is not runny, which is good because you have to leave it on the lathered hair for at least three minutes, and it doesn't get in my eyes during that time. The smell is not strong or medicinal; it is pleasant enough. It doesn't seem drying to my hair like some of the volumizing shampoos I've used.

My husband has even noticed a difference after using for a week and has said things like "your face is glowing", "your face looks radiant", "you look different, younger", "whatever you are doing is working". Bottom line, if you're in search of an anti-aging serum, stop looking and buy this." —J.D.M."I struggled with acne for over 12 years. I tried medications, pretty much every skincare line out there, but thanks to a random girl on TikTok, I found this product and will never go back. This is the only serum that has helped clear my scars! I never write reviews, but because I noticed a difference within days of using, I had to write one. I'm only on month two, and I have seen a noticeable difference. My skin looks clear/lighter/glowing/young for the first time since my preteen years.

You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information!Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —TlongPrice: $11.99 (typically $17.02; also available in two-packs)
A "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover for 29% off that works its magic in one wash to help you instantly get rid of all that discolored dried sweat, oil stains, or deodorant residue on your favorite clothes, so you don't have to do any heavy scrubbing yourself.
Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).Price: $9.99+ (typically $13.99; available in different sizes)
A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Glow Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for 30% off (the first time it's been on sale ever btw!) for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents.
Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of Touchland in action. Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. "I love the light fragrance of this sanitizer and how it doesn't dry my skin. Definitely will buy again." —Lindsey OgdenPrice: $11.20 (typically $16; available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options)
A beginner-friendly Beachwaver B1 Rotating Curling Iron for 30% off that rotates and does all the work FOR you, similar to the $599 (!!) Dyson Airwrap. This not only creates (LITERALLY) effortless curls, but is designed with a ceramic heat barrel that makes them hold up the whole day.
Check out a TikTok of the Beachwaver in action. Promising review: "This automatic 1-inch ceramic curling iron has completely transformed my hair routine. The rotating feature makes it incredibly easy to use — no more awkward wrist twists or worrying about uneven curls. It creates beautiful, long-lasting curls with just a press of a button! The ceramic barrel is a game-changer, leaving my hair smooth and shiny without any frizz. The 1-inch size is perfect for creating loose, natural-looking curls that last all day. I also love how quick it heats up and how easy it is to adjust the temperature for different hair types. Overall, this curling iron is a must-have for anyone looking to create effortless, professional-looking curls at home." —Shawn H. Here's what BuzzFeed's Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I've used about every kind of hair styling tool on the planet and had given up on curling irons with clamps. I was fully a curling wand girlie because I'm adept at heat styling and it gave me covetable mermaid waves I wanted. Then I tried a Beachwaver and haven't looked back since. I have them in two barrel sizes and now can zone out while I do my hair. The directional buttons for the tool are easy to use and if I accidentally press the button for the opposite way of which I'd like the barrel to spin, it's a quick and easy correction. I try all sorts of products for my job but this has quickly become one that I talk about all the time." Price: $69.30 (typically $99)
A remote-controlled walking pad for 30% off (the lowest price it goes for) that is delightfully versatile — you can slide it under your desk to walk while you work, or pull up the handle bars for speedier walking seshes. This gizmo goes up to six miles per hour, features optional inclines, and is blissfully easy to set up!
Check out a TikTok of the Treaflow walking pad in action. Promising review: "This is the second walking pad I have purchased, and this one is by far my favorite. I have a standing desk that I use it with, and it's so compact that it fits neatly under my loveseat in my office. Super easy setup, overall great value! The speed options are great as well, and overall it works great! It also does not make a horrible sound when I use it, unlike the previous one I owned (from a different brand)." —KeihraPrice: $139.99 (typically $199.99)
A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller for 25% off plus an extra 7% off that is deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair. It not only locks it in, but also stashes it inside the roller itself so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around (instead of getting rid of it properly).
Promising review: "My cat sheds and I saw this on TikTok and very much thought of it as an impulsive purchase at first for its price tag. But no, this is a very very necessary item in my day to day life. Does it pick up every single hair leaving everything completely hairless, not really, it can be difficult to pick up hair from difficult crevices/corners and hair that's trapped within woven fabrics/upholsteries — HOWEVER — it does a wayyy wayyy better dang job than a lint roller or other products that rival this. My mother picked up something from a competitor and it did not clean up the hair as well as this did. I keep getting these for my pet-having friends as gifts because it's truly a holy grail product. I like that it picks up human hair too because as a long hair haver I can shed about as much as my cat does. It's a durable product too, I've had mine for about a year now and it still works like it used to and it's fairly easy to clean the inside." —ConniePrice: $18.74 (originally $24.99; clip the coupon for this price)
A pair of buttery soft, no-nonsense high-waisted leggings for up to 26% off that literally *hundreds* of reviewers compare to Lululemon, thanks to their four-way stretch, convenient pockets, and delightful comfiness. These are a "live-in" pair worth buying in multiples for sure if you need a wardrobe refresh this summer!
Promising reviews: "AMAZING. I bought these to test against my Lululemon leggings ($100+) and I think I love these more. I wish there were more sizes in stock right now but it's a fad on TikTok so I understand and will be patient to buy more. 😇" —Reina"Currently 20 weeks pregnant and these are all I wear, I basically live in these leggings. They're so stretchy and comfy, definitely recommend for pregnancy!" —Alba sivieroPrice: $19.99+ (originally $26.99; available in women's sizes XS–XL, with 25" or 28" inseam, and in 33 colors/patterns) — and check out the rest of Colorfulkoala's Prime Day Deals on gym apparel!
A Ring indoor camera and pet tag bundle for 50% off that will make any pet owner breathe many sighs of relief — this easy setup lets you keep an eye on Fido and even features a two-way speaking function, so you'll be able to communicate with them. The bonus pet tag comes with a QR code that automatically informs you whenever someone scans it, so if you lose sight of your furriest friend, you'll know exactly where they went!
Check out a TikTok of the Ring indoor camera in action. Promising review: "We recently got a new puppy, and we decided to get this camera to check on her when we are away and at night. I had no idea how much I would love this thing!! She's had some tummy trouble, and we've had to get up a lot at night with her. Being able to check on her with the camera before we actually get out of bed has been crucial!!! And a huge bonus is that we don't have to worry about the battery life because it plugs into a USB port in our kitchen. The camera quality is so great!!! This is worth every penny! It's so easy to set up! The Ring app walks you through the setup step by step. I loved it so much I bought a second one for our garage. I highly recommend this." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $34.98 (typically $69.98)
A hands-free wearable fan for 37% off (the best price it goes for) you can easily clip to your waistband or wear around your neck for some instant, refreshing cooling power on days when the sun is trying to melt you like an ice pop.
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver! We used them while at multiple theme parks in the summer, and they have worked wonderfully. The fact that they clip to your waist, hold your shirt down, and blow air up your shirt is a way better way to keep cool than just an external fan. I have bought several of these, and would highly recommend! A couple of these lasted all day, as long as you are not constantly running them full blast." —Greg"I saw this rechargeable fan on TikTok, but found it cheaper on Amazon. It has four different settings. Comfortable to wear. It has decent battery life. Noise level is minimal. Keeps you cool. The clip easily connects to your jeans, shorts, or pants to help you stay cool in the heat. I'm a big guy living in Alabama, so it's been great for me! Good, quality product." —Misty ReynoldsPrice: $18.98 (typically $29.99)
A cordless water flosser for up to 33% off (the lowest price it goes for) your dentist will be SO happy you invested in — this gum-sensitive gizmo easily removes food and debris trapped between teeth, braces, and built-in retainers without all the effort (and ouch!) of traditional flossing.
Promising review: "I never knew I needed a water flosser until I tried this one, and wow — what a difference! It delivers a powerful yet gentle stream of water that thoroughly cleans between my teeth and along the gum line. The effectiveness is undeniable — I can actually feel how much fresher and cleaner my mouth is after each use because my breath has noticeably improved. Beyond just the results, the ease of use has completely transformed my approach to flossing. No more struggling with traditional floss or worrying about missing tricky spots. I still floss, but with the water flosser, it's no longer a chore, it's actually enjoyable and can be done extremely fast." —Vanessa Chang"Fresh out of the box, and it works fantastically. We've been looking for a water flosser and saw this on TikTok, so we bought it, and we love it. The color is awesome, and it's nicely weighted." —Kaycee NeilanderPrice: $19.98+ (typically $29.98; available in four colors at various discounts, not all colors on sale)
A fast-acting, refillable plug-in fly trap for 37% off for flies, fruit flies, moths, and gnats that works up to 400 feet by using a light to lure them. The best part?? The "trap" part is on the back, so you don't have to behold a little bug graveyard in your kitchen when you flick on the lights in the morning.
Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action.Promising review: "I can't say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It's a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. Price: $11.33 (typically $17.97; also available as a two-pack)
MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation for 25% off, a TikTok-beloved *and* "older skincare" Reddit-beloved product for solid, lightweight coverage — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." —Smickens"Okay WOW. I've never used an airbrush foundation before, so I was pretty skeptical, but oh my goodness, this covered everything and looked SO natural. And it took five seconds! Not tacky or sticky at all, and not drying either. A little goes a long way, lesson quickly learned, and the brush is your best friend for blending it out. Just keep blending and keep blending, and it looks better and better. I still looked fresh-faced and flawless after a full day of family and running around. Will definitely be buying this again." —Katy Price: $14.99 (originally $19.99; available in 15 shades)
A set of legging organizing hangers for 36% off for anyone who owns approximately [number redacted] pairs that are currently tangled in a dresser drawer like a giant athleisure nest.

Check out a TikTok of the Vitamix 750 in action. Promising review: "Bought this product on sale, and it was worth the investment. It blends better than any other blender that I have had. Its multiple options allow for anything from smoothies to purees. I love that I can make soup with this blender. It has plenty of power and a large enough volume to make plenty for a small household. It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, it is very expensive at full price." —Daniel & AmandaPrice: $379.95 (originally $629.95; typically $578.84 from a third-party seller; available in four colors) — and shop all the Vitamix deals here!
A sleeveless halter bodysuit for 40% off made with such soft, stretchy, durable material that reviewers say it's an *excellent* comparison to Zara and Skims, perfect for pairing with high-waisted jeans, skirts, and blazers. It's compressive enough that a lot of reviewers were also impressed that they didn't need a bra with it!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this top! Saw it in a few TikTok videos and decided to try. I have it in white, nude, coffee, and black. I love wearing it under blazers for interviews." —Abryana MarksPrice: $14.97+ (typically $24.99; available in women's sizes S–XXL and 18 colors)

Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey KlemPrice: $9.45+ (typically $14.95; available in two sizes)
A set of hydrocolloid nose patches for 20% off for overnight use to help kick "nose gunk" to the curb — this extra-large hydrocolloid patch helps lift sebum to reduce the appearance of pimples, pores, and oil. You can even see all the satisfyingly gross evidence for yourself when you pull it off in the a.m. 👀.
Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin I definitely recommend washing your face first and apply it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas….maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina"Saw it on TikTok and already use their acne patches, so I was sold. Works just as well. I'd highly recommend them!" —Sara Fox Price: $13.24 for 10 patches (originally $16.55)

I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game changer. I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." —MTPrice: $68+ (typically $85; available in two sizes and two shapes)
A set of satin pillowcases for 24% off that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about them: ""I own multiple sets of these and even pack them when I travel because I never want to sleep on a cotton pillowcase again after getting used to these beauts." Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair.

I swapped my Apple Watch Series 10 for a Google Pixel Watch 3 — here's what I liked and disliked
If you own an iPhone and you're fully locked into the Apple ecosystem, then it's hard to look past choosing the Apple Watch as your smartwatch. Whether it's our top smartwatch pick or the number one smartwatch choice for women, it's a tough one to beat. There are other great smartwatches outside of the Apple Watch, including the Google Pixel Watch 3. It's our favourite Android smartwatch and is proof that great Wear OS smartwatches exist. So what would happen if you swapped Apple Watch for Google Pixel Watch to dish out those phone notifications, let you make payments from the wrist, or let the music play sans smartphone? That's exactly what we did to find out if Google's best is a good enough alternative to the Apple Watch Series 10. Here's what we liked and disliked as we did smartwatch swapsies. If there's one area in general I think Wear OS smartwatches struggle in comparison to the Apple Watch, it's with the native fitness and health tracking support. It's generally good in parts, but lacks as a package. That's where the Pixel Watch 3 differs, and that's mainly down to the strong Fitbit integration, which essentially takes care of monitoring daily step counts, motivating you to keep moving during the day, and offers the kind of metrics and insights that are both glanceable and actually useful to pay attention to. A few features stand out particularly on the Pixel Watch. One is sleep tracking, which Fitbit has had quite a head start on Apple, both with tracking and with the level of metrics it can offer. Apple's sleep tracking support is pretty solid, but in contrast to what you get on the Pixel Watch, the presentation of data on and off the watch is a bit slicker. Readiness scores are another feature that's a win for Google over Apple. It's a good example of a metric that's powered by reliable tracking of heart rate and sleep. Once calibrated, these scores can offer a simple heads-up of whether you should work out or take a rest day. Currently, Apple doesn't offer a similar readiness-type score that is a great feature for fitness newbies and more experienced fitness lovers. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The Google Pixel Watch 3 is hardly a battery powerhouse, especially compared to other Wear OS smartwatches like the OnePlus Watch 3 and many of Mobvoi's dual-display-toting TicWatches. It does manage to squeeze out a little bit more battery than the Apple Watch Series 10, based on my testing time. The raw numbers state the Pixel Watch 3 can last up to 24 hours with the screen set to always-on, or you can switch to the Battery Saver mode to get up to 36 hours. The Apple Watch Series 10 lasts 18 hours, and really will if you keep the screen on at all times. Granted, it's a pretty rapid charger, but it doesn't negate that you definitely do end up having to think about the battery. Especially if you're taking it to bed to track your sleep. While the Pixel Watch 3 isn't immune to similar concerns, it's definitely slightly less of one compared to Apple's smartwatch. Like Apple, it does try to remedy that with some pretty rapid charging support. Apple's smartwatch has remained square since the original Watch and seems unlikely to shift from that angular look. While there's no shortage of round smartwatches, I'd say that the Pixel Watch 3's round look stands out for the right reasons. For starters, it comes in two different sizes, which is great news whether you like a smartwatch to dominate on the wrist or you prefer something that lives a little smaller, letting you strap on additional wristwear alongside it. You're getting a fully circular case design in either a polished or matte aluminium finish, an elegant watch crown, and a bright AMOLED display, and it has those deep black levels you associate with a high-quality colour screen. Combine all of that and you get something that's sleek and really does set it apart from other smartwatches. You certainly can't accuse the Google Pixel Watch 3 of aping the look of the Apple Watch Series 10 or other Apple Watches, and while Apple also gets plenty of things right with its design, so does Google with its own. Apple beats Google when it comes to tracking your exercise. Quite simply, if you want a smartwatch that can closely match the performance of a dedicated sports watch, it's not the Pixel Watch 3 you'll want on your wrist. Take GPS performance, or the fact that it doesn't offer the latest dual-band GPS technology that now appears on a whole host of smartwatches, some of which cost less than the Pixel Watch 3. If you look at the supported sports tracking profiles, there's simply more on offer with Apple's smartwatch. Take swimming as an example, where the Pixel Watch 3 only supports tracking pool swims, while Apple's will track your movements in the open water and do a really good job of it. If you're heading outside to track workouts, Apple gives you maps to view. Some of that mapping is available out of the box, with a host of apps in the App Store that are capable of extending that to other sports. That extensive third-party training and fitness app support gives Apple the upper hand to enhance its sports tracking capabilities. It also has the advantage of letting you pair external fitness accessories like a heart rate monitor, which you cannot do on the Pixel Watch 3. Yes, there's certainly enough on the Pixel Watch to track workouts and offer a satisfactory level of performance as well as a good array of metrics. The Apple Watch Series 10 is a much better performer across most, if not all, fronts. Having Fitbit take care of most of the Pixel Watch 3's fitness and health tracking was a smart move, but you will need to shell out more money, either on a monthly or annual basis, to get the most complete Fitbit experience. Thankfully, features like daily readiness scores, core activity tracking, and health metrics are available in the free version of the Fitbit App. The biggest features you're going to miss out on by not paying up for Premium are the extra analysis offered for sleep and stress data. You also miss out on Fitbit's workout videos and audio-based training sessions, but I'd say that richer sleep and stress insights are the things that most users will most appreciate having access to. Yes, I did like the fact that the Pixel Watch 3 (the larger 45mm version) has a better battery than the Apple Watch Series 10, but it's not by a huge amount. This is still a smartwatch where you have to think about the battery pretty much every day, whether the screen is on at all times, or when using the raise-to-wake gesture support. Having spent time with other Wear OS smartwatches that can go for almost a week without charging, it's frustrating that Google didn't seize the opportunity to make the Pixel Watch 3 go much longer than Apple's Watches, or at least seek parity with the best WearOS battery performers. Now, this is exactly the same criticism that can be levelled at the Apple Watch and its inability to play nice with Android. This dislikable element of using a Pixel Watch is unlikely to change anytime soon. The lack of compatibility across the two biggest smartphone platforms instantly makes using the Google Pixel Watch 3 a restrictive experience for many. If you don't have the luxury to switch between Android phones and iPhones, then that's going to be a pretty major reason to dislike the Pixel Watch 3.

iOS 26 public beta is here — 5 settings you need to change first
Now that the iOS 26 public beta is available, more people can preview Apple's latest mobile software ahead of its final release later this fall. I've been using the iOS 26 beta ever since it was released shortly after WWDC 2025, and if you've already hit that install button for the public beta, you're in store for a big surprise. There's obviously a lot of buzz around the big makeover that Apple's implementing, but not all the new changes and additions make for a more meaningful experience. That's why I want to share the settings I think you need to change first soon after installing the iOS 26 public beta. Of course, Apple could continue to change stuff with subsequent public beta updates. But for now, you'll get more out of the experience by adjusting these settings. As much as Liquid Glass adds depth and separation with its new material design, there are instances when Liquid Glass looks messy. Case in point, when you access Control Center and how the transparency of the interface makes it look too confusing. Just take a look at the shot above! In order to make Liquid Glass more suitable, I recommend enabling the setting for reduce transparency to make Liquid Glass less transparent — and it's quite easy. Just got the general Settings menu, select Accessibility, then Display & Text Size, and finally hit the toggle for Reduce Transparency. Once it's enabled, you'll see how Liquid Glass elements around the interface will have more of an opaque appearance instead of being transparent. Whether you're for or against the new Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 series, you might notice after installing the iOS 26 public beta that its behavior has changed. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. While pressing on the button launches the camera app, the other Camera Control gestures could be disabled. I'm referring to the two-press gesture used to switch between the various modes. You'll want to restore it back to its original setting by enabling the setting for Camera Control adjustments. Simply navigate to general Settings, then proceed to Camera. From here, select Camera Control and enable the toggle for Camera Adjustments under Controls. In addition to reenabling all of the Camera Control adjustments, you can also customize the gestures and the hierarchy of the controls. Shortly after I installed the iOS 26 developers beta, I noticed my battery life taking a big hit on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. I'm not really surprised by this, seeing that battery saving optimizations are a work in progress with any beta software. However, there's one setting that will help out with exactly this. It's the new "adaptive power" mode in iOS 26 that aims to extend the battery life of your compatible iPhone. There are optimizations with this mode that helps to extend your iPhone's battery life by doing things such as lowering the screen brightness — or 'allowing some activities to take a little longer.' You can enable adaptive power mode by going into Settings, Battery, and then Power Mode. There's a toggle for adaptive power that you select to enable it. Apple changes the look of Safari with the iOS 26 public beta, namely the toolbar and tabs. The look with the default setting makes the toolbar appear as minimalist as they come, with it almost disappearing when you begin to scroll web sites. I prefer the Safari toolbar to be a bit more prominent, which is why you'll want to change the setting to change its layout. You can do this quickly by going into the Settings, then scroll down to Apps. Once there, you'll have to scroll all the way down until you see Safari (or just type Safari into the search box), and then find the section for 'tabs' halfway down the page. You have three options: compact, bottom, and top. The iOS 26 public beta defaults to compact, but I'd suggest changing it to top if you bottom to make the toolbar a bit bigger so that it's easier to see. This one may not be as pressing, but I know it's something that annoys me because when I go into my photo library, I want to see everything — including the screenshots I capture. With iOS 26, the Photos app gets another redesign, but I've noticed that screenshots aren't shown under my photo library. Instead, they're populated within the Screenshots folder under the collections tab, but I also want to see them in the main library.

Liquid Glass arrives on Apple Watch via watchOS 26 beta — here's how to unlock it
watchOS 26 is officially available for public download, meaning you can check out Apple's next-generation software right now on your own Apple Watch. I'll walk you through the process in eight easy steps. All in, the installation took roughly 45 minutes from start to finish, but your mileage may vary. What makes watchOS 26 so exciting? From an updated "Liquid Glass" interface design to personalized workout tools and the inclusion of Apple's Notes app (finally), there are lots of watchOS 26 features I can't wait to try. But first, is your Apple Watch watchOS 26 beta eligible? Below are the models that can be upgraded to the latest beta software: To download and install watchOS 26 on your compatible Apple Watch, you'll first need to download and install the iOS 26 public beta on your compatible iPhone. iPhone 11 and newer are eligible for the install. I performed it on my iPhone 12 Mini without issue. Need more help? Here's our step-by-step guide to installing iOS 26 beta. Once you've upgraded to the iOS 26 beta on your iPhone, open the Watch app, scroll down, and tap General, followed by Software Updates. Next, select Beta Updates. On the next screen, tap to the right of "watchOS 26 public beta update." This should place a yellow checkmark next to it. Now, tap the back button in the upper left. This will cause the Watch app to return to the prior screen and start checking for updates. The watchOS 26 Beta download screen should appear on the screen after a few seconds. Once it does, go ahead and tap Download and Install. You'll next be prompted to enter your passcode, if applicable, to confirm the download. Once entered, you'll be presented a lengthy set of Terms and Conditions. Read them if you like, or simply tap "agree" to get things started. And now, prepare to wait for the watchOS 26 beta download to complete. Feel free to go make a cup of coffee, take the dog for a walk, or have a hot bath. The 2.6 GB software update took roughly 35 minutes to finish. Note: Make sure you've got a healthy Internet connection before starting the download; I did, and it still took that long. Once downloaded to your device, it's now time to get watchOS 26 beta installed on your Apple Watch, but first, make sure your watch is plugged into a charger and has at least 50% battery. If you're good on the charging front, it's time to tap Install on your iPhone's screen. This will cause your Apple Watch to restart and begin the update. It took about seven minutes for watchOS 26 beta to install on my Apple Watch Series 10. As you wait, pay attention to the circular progress bar around the Apple logo. Once fully filled in, the watch will go black, before you're greeted with... ... a welcome screen! Go ahead and tap Start to take your first dive into watchOS 26 beta. On the following screen, you can choose to take a quick tour of the updated interface, though the buttons and gestures largely remain the same as before. If you do choose to take the tour, follow the button and swiping prompts for a refresher on basic Apple Watch navigation. And with that, you've now got the latest beta software for your Apple Watch fully installed, which means it's time to poke around and experiment with all the new watchOS 26 beta features and design elements, including the new Wrist Flick gesture and live message translations. Expect more how-tos in the coming days on many of these features, in particular, Apple's new Workout Buddy. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Until then, here are some other handy things you can do with your Apple Watch thanks to the last major software rollout, including pausing your Apple Watch Activity Rings, translating languages from your wrist, and global tides tracking for my ocean-lovers.
