Forget Amazon Fire TV Stick, Roku Ultra Streaming Device Hits Its Lowest Price Ahead of Prime Day

Gizmodo4 days ago
While a lot of us make do with the streaming hub built into our smart TVs, there are ways to make things better. The simplest of these is to invest in a dedicated streaming device. There are a few different options on the market that really shine, but one of the most underrated is the Roku Ultra.
See at Amazon
The Roku Ultra is a premium streaming device, one that offers a huge number of features and is incredibly easy to use. It's also normally $100, which might feel a bit too much for some people. If you love the idea of it but hate the price, then the fact that Amazon has it on sale right now with 21% off is worth paying attention to. That means you can snap it up for $79, and that's a great price for a great device.
The Roku Ultra comes with two things. The first is the box, which is really easy to install, and the other is the rechargeable voice remote pro, which has backlit buttons for when you're doing things in the dark, but also enables you to just search for what you want with voice commands. A lot of us are more used to voice controls now, thanks to smart assistants, and it just massively boosts the usability of the device for some people.
Along with that, this device makes it easy to access all of your favorite streaming services in one place, and then watch everything in beautiful 4K quality with no lag thanks to the Wi-Fi 6 integration. As long as your TV can handle it, this is going to have your TV shows and films looking better than ever, and you can even pair your headphones directly with the device to make sure you can listen to whatever you're watching without disturbing anyone who might be asleep.
The Roku Ultra really is one of the best streaming devices out there, and while not everyone may feel as though they need one, if you've got an older TV or you're just looking to make sure you've got some dedicated tech, this is a great chance to sort that out. After all, while the normal price of $100 isn't too bad, the chance to save 21% on that and get this amazing bit of tech for just $79 is one that shouldn't be missed. Don't hang around though, as there's no way of knowing how long this discount will last.

Benefit Cosmetics Wants to Rule in Foundation Next

Benefit Cosmetics is bringing its Porefessional franchise to a new category. On July 14, the brand will introduce Porefessional Foundation — a 40-shade, medium- to full-coverage offering that aims to bring the line's pore-smoothing benefits to color cosmetics. While Benefit has previously forayed into foundation with now-discontinued products such as its Play Sticks and Hello Happy powder foundation, this launch — three years in the making — marks the brand's only present offering in the category. More from WWD EXCLUSIVE: Sacheu Beauty Goes IRL, Launching Full Range in Ulta Beauty Stores and Hosting Pop-up Tone, the Personal Care Brand Founded by Six Twitch Streamers, Is Entering Target Sofía Vergara Embraces Guava-themed Summer Makeup Trend for Toty Event in Madrid 'So many foundations clog pores or create more texture — there isn't really a pore-first foundation, and that's where we come in,' said Kate Helfrich, head of global product and service innovation at Benefit, which is owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Retailing for $46 and rolling out this month to all retailers including Sephora, Ulta Beauty and TikTok Shop, the product features niacinamide, glycerin and rosehip extract for a roughly '84 percent skin-care ingredient formula,' Helfrich said. 'I don't think you can develop color makeup today that doesn't have skin-forward benefits,' she continued. 'Part of the innovation here is the viscosity; the ability to develop a medium- to full-coverage foundation that maintains its lightweight texture and won't clog pores.' Currently, Benefit ranks as the number-one prestige primer brand in the U.S. thanks to its assortment of skin-prepping and blurring Porefessional primers, which this foundation aims to complement. Circana data shows the brand also takes the top spot in the U.S. when it comes to prestige mascara sales — another category it expanded earlier this year with the introduction of a new, volume-focused BadGal Bounce launch. 'We're carving out a space in foundation through what we're already known for,' said Chelsea Evans, senior vice president of global category strategy at Benefit, adding, 'the Porefessional franchise continues to be a growth driver for us.' According to Evans, primer and loose powder launches introduced last year to the range exceeded sales expectations. One Porefessional product sells globally every eight seconds, and the line's Hydro Pop skin care toner, also launched in 2024, continues to see triple-digit growth and ranks as a top skin care product for the brand in key Asia markets where essences are often a core step in skin regimens. 'We see that problem-solution stock keeping units are performing for us,' Evans said. To that end, the Porefessional Foundation aims not only to reduce the look of pores during wear, but also to improve skin texture, with 97 percent of 118 study participants reporting that bare skin became smoother over time with use. This near-plus long term approach to delivering results is one that Benefit is looking to bring to other color and skin categories, too, within the Porefessional line. 'What's so unique about Porefessional is that it's about an attribute — pores — and delivering on smoothing, blurring care for them, which gives us so much freedom and white space for where we can take this — there are almost no limits there,' Evans said.
