This cult favorite leave-on lip mask by Laneige is a favorite among Forbes Vetted editors for delivering deep hydration and antioxidants as you sleep. 'I keep the Laneige mask on my nightstand and slather it on before bed,' says special projects editor Jennifer Ferrise. "I'm always amazed at how much softer my lips are every morning thanks to the mask's moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and murumuru seed.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this lip sleeping mask all year.
After testing multiple hair tools for several months, features and special projects director Kim Peiffer named the Dyson Airwrap the best luxury blow dryer brush . 'I've had this multi-styling tool for over a year now, and have seen firsthand all that it does—from smoothing strands to adding volume to creating perfect curls that mimic a professional in-salon blowout,' says Peiffer. During Prime Day, you can score the limited edition model in the color Jasper Plum for $100 less than the typical retail price.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this model of the Dyson Airwrap all year.
This portable red light therapy wand targets fine lines and wrinkles, and helps with skin elasticity and firmness. With just three-minute daily sessions per area, regular users should notice improvements after several weeks. 'I've had the Solawave Wand for over a year,' says special projects editor Jennifer Ferrise. 'When I use it consistently, I notice that my skin tone is more even and the texture is smoother. It also helps reduce facial puffiness after a late night.'
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the second-lowest price we've seen for the Solawave wand this year.
Several members of the Forbes Vetted team have tried and loved this formula from Living Proof—so much so, it earned the title of best dry shampoo as a part of the 2024 Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards. 'This is the holy grail of dry shampoos,' says one tester, who has used it regularly for years. 'It's consistently lightweight and volumizing, without leaving behind a chalky feel.'
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this dry shampoo all year.
Just in time for swimsuit season, the Nood Flasher 2.0 makes at-home laser hair removal easy. It's our top pick for coarse hair on our list of the best laser hair removal devices. 'The Flasher 2.0 has a thoughtful, compact design that fits nicely in the hand, and it's lightweight enough that lengthier IPL sessions don't feel like a chore,' says one of our testers. Get it bundled with an exfoliating cleanser and soothing aloe treatment for 24% off.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've ever seen for this laser hair removal device on Amazon.
If you've been wanting to add water flossing to your dental hygiene routine, now's a great time. We named the Waterpik Aquarius the best overall pick in our tested roundup of the best water flossers. Our tester appreciated its reliability, versatility and value. And speaking of value, it's currently available for an impressively low price—50% off.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this water flosser in 2025.
Multiple members of our team love Amika's moisturizing hair products, and its Soulfood Nourishing Mask is a standout favorite. 'I can really feel the difference in the softness of my hair after I use this mask,' says beauty updates writer Claire Epting. 'It's my go-to after swimming in the ocean—it's so replenishing.' Right now, you can grab it for 30% off.
Why It's A Good Deal: This price matches the lowest price we've seen for this hair mask in 2025.
This at-home treatment set is affordable and works quickly—it's our top wireless pick on our list of the best teeth whitening kits. 'Even after a single session, I noticed my teeth looked a hint whiter—with regular use, they've become noticeably brighter," says one of our testers. It comes with three tubes of 35% carbamide peroxide gel, and is equipped with two LED light modes.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this product in 2025.
This sleek, minimalist hair dryer is a favorite of supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. 'Until I got the tool, I used to almost solely air dry my hair because blow drying felt like a total chore," she says. "But with the Supersonic, I'm able to get my hair fully dry in under 10 minutes. And I appreciate that the dryer is lightweight so my arms never get sore."
Why It's A Good Deal: This current price matches the lowest price we've seen all year.
The Oral-B's iO Deep Clean electric toothbrushes are some of our absolute favorites. This Series 3 model has three cleaning modes and a pressure sensor for a safe yet effective brushing experience. It also has a brush timer and an alert system for when it's time to change the head of the brush.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this electric toothbrush in the past three months.
The top-rated Medicube Deep Vita C Pads use three types of vitamins, plus niacinamide, to help minimize dark spots and blemishes and leave you with a more radiant and youthful appearance. This Prime Day, you can score 70 pads for over 50% less than the typical retail price. 'I restocked my supply of Medicube Pads and the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel during the sales event,' says Ferrise. 'I'll alternate between the two products to keep my combination skin looking smooth all summer long.'
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for these facial pads in the past year.
Clarins Self Tanning Tinted Gel is perfect for getting that coveted summer glow without having to sit out in the sun for hours. 'Because it's a gel, it dries quite quickly, but not so fast that you feel rushed and can't apply it to your whole body in one fell swoop,' says our tester, who named it the best pick for fair skin in our self-tanner roundup.
Why It's A Good Deal: This is the lowest price we've seen for this self-tanning product in 2025.

‘Tesla Takedown' protestors have a new target: Elon Musk's Tesla Diner

For months, protesters have gathered outside Tesla showrooms in response to Elon Musk's role in reducing US government spending as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. This weekend, protesters in Los Angeles found a new destination: Musk's new 24-hour Tesla Diner in the Hollywood area. Musk had touted the concept of an 'old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant' in 2018. Since opening on Monday, the retro-futuristic diner with electric vehicle-charging stations has had long lines of customers who are served burgers in Cybertruck-designed boxes. One customer posted to YouTube that he waited 11 hours for the restaurant to open. But Joel Lava, who has helped organize 'Tesla Takedown' demonstrations and has spearheaded protests at the diner, believes that protests could continue throughout the summer and that the buzz around the new restaurant will soon die down. '(Customers are) waiting 11 hours so they can have Tesla-brand burgers and fries,' Lava told CNN. 'This is the world's most renowned anti-trans advocate who just opened a diner in West Hollywood. The community is not very supportive of Elon.' Lava estimates as many as 75 demonstrators joined the diner protest on Saturday. He said organizers began planning protests for this weekend after the diner abruptly opened on Monday. 'Our main message is Tesla funds fascism. Elon Musk, via DOGE, has destroyed our government agencies and people's jobs, and people are dying around the world because of him,' Lava said. Tesla did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. Lava said protest attendance for Tesla Takedown events peaked at the end of March, but has 'been going strong.' Protests outside of Tesla showrooms across the United States have remained a weekly staple in many cities, with 40 protests planned on the 'Tesla Takedown' website for the weekend. 'We've already been successful in tarnishing the Tesla brand,' he said. During last week's second-quarter earnings call, Musk highlighted Tesla's future — not its gloomy present-day — by reaffirming ambitious plans for the company's robotaxi service and mass production of its humanoid robot, Optimus, which was serving popcorn at Musk's diner. Tesla's auto revenue fell 16% from April to June and overall revenue was down 12%, according to its earnings report. Sales of its best-selling Model Y and Model 3 fell 12% compared with a year ago, while sales of its more expensive models, including the Cybertruck, plunged 52%. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) were down more than 4% last week, closing at $316.06 on Friday, after falling 9% on Thursday. Since peaking at $479.86 on December 17, Tesla shares have plunged 34%. CNN's Chris Isidore contributed to this report.

Dozens protest at BWI Airport over Avelo Airlines role in ICE deportations

About 100 people protested at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport on Sunday over a budget airline's role in immigration deportations, according to our media partner, The Baltimore Banner. Avelo Airlines, a Texas-based air carrier founded in 2021, has only two direct flights from BWI, according to the Banner. According to CBS News, Avelo has partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to operate deportation flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE). According to the Banner, Sunday's protest at BWI was organized by Doctors for Camp Closure, Ground ICE, and the Greater Baltimore Democratic Socialists of America. Protesters met outside the Maryland Area Rail Commuter station at BWI and walked to a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 195, according to the Banner. The Banner reports that signs were held that read, "Avelo Airlines fuels fascism," "Avelo is disappearing people for Trump," and "Evilo." The protesters told the Banner they were pressuring the airline and discouraging travelers from flying with Avelo. "It's toxic to your brand," Kate Sugarman, an organizer with Doctors for Camp Closure, told the Banner about the deportation flights. "We want to make sure that Avelo and every other airline knows that it is unacceptable to have any kind of cooperation with ICE." Avelo shared this statement with the Banner: "We recognize the right of individuals to peacefully assemble and assert their freedom of speech. Avelo's main priority continues to be maintaining the safety and timeliness of our operation that over 7.3 million Customers across the country continue to enjoy." According to CBS News, Avelo's domestic and international flights flying migrants started in mid-May. Avelo says the aircraft used for the trips will not bear Avelo's logo. Avelo said the agreement with ICE is a "long-term charter program." The airline has been recruiting flight attendants to staff the flights, according to a job posting for what it calls a "charter program for the Department of Homeland Security," CBS News reported. The job pays $28 an hour for the first year of service. "We are seeking energetic, highly motivated Flight Attendants who wish to join a committed group of safety and service professionals at Avelo Airlines," the listing reads. "Flights will be both domestic and international trips to support DHS's deportation efforts," the post adds, although it makes no references to migrants.
