31 Genius Beauty Products You Should Definitely Own
A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence — you probably didn't think that anyone could convince you to put something on your face that has to do with snails, but boy, does this work hard to help repair dark spots, hydrate dull skin, and rejuvenate damaged skin. Many reviewers said they were skeptical at first, but once they used it, they loved the glow it gave them. A collagen-coating hair treatment with collagen and ceramide 3 to treat hair that's been through intense heat or sun damage. Use this in between your shampoo and conditioner and leave it in for five minutes — soon enough, you'll have silky soft hair! A pack of Schick dermaplaning razors if you want to get rid of all the peach fuzz and extra hair on your face. Not only does this remove the hair, it gently exfoliates your skin, can help your skin absorb skincare products, AND makes your makeup application waaayyy smoother. Plus, it includes a special cap that ensures you don't go overboard near the eyebrows. The TikTok-famous E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer to be the perfect base layer for your makeup, ensuring it stays put all day and night. It'll blur your pores and fine lines, making it look like you've got the beauty filter on 24/7. And it's even infused with squalene, so it'll leave your skin feeling super hydrated. A Glossier cream blush — it's fragrance-free, easily spreadable with your fingers, and super buildable. Whether you're going for a more natural glow or a bright pop of color, this will surely become a staple in your makeup bag. A mascara remover since you're tired of looking like a raccoon when it comes time to take your eye makeup off. Just swipe this on like regular mascara and BAM, no more mascara (even the stubborn waterproof formulas can't beat this genius remover). A volcanic stone face roller because your oily skin always seems to find a way to disturb that matte makeup look you're going for. Just swipe this on and watch how it magically removes all the excess oil. And unlike blotting papers, you can wash and reuse the roller, and it fits perfectly in your purse! A pack of Mighty Patches, pretty much deemed the OG and the gold standard of pimple patches on the market (literally, they're locked up when you go to Target... they're that good). These hydrocolloid patches help suck out any gunk from pesky pimples and help prevent you from picking at them. A box of Skin1004 "zombie" face masks if you're looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and tighten your skin. This has albumin and aloe vera extract to improve skin elasticity and provide soothing moisture. Yeah, you might look like Frankenstein for 15 minutes, but the results will be well worth it. A bottle of Bio Oil, a must-have for anyone dealing with hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, or even post-surgery scars. This can help repair the skin and boost collagen production. If you don't take it from me, just take a look at the 39,000+ 5-star reviews! A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash that gently exfoliates your rough and bumpy skin without causing damage, unlike many harsher exfoliants. It'll help you achieve smooth skin and leave you feeling oh-so-hydrated thanks to the hyaluronic acid and ceramides. A Revlon hot air brush because the Dyson Airwrap costs an arm and a leg and this round brush gives you the same, if not better, bouncy blowout results. This dries *and* styles at the same time, saving you some extra time in the morning! An anti-chafing balm that's basically like an "I got you" for your inner thighs, shoulders, feet, and anywhere that tends to chafe or get easily irritated. This non-greasy formula is easy to swipe on and will come in handy when you're out running, hiking, or just dealing with the perpetual state of being sweaty. A foot peel mask, which will probably make you feel like a snake shedding its skin, but oh boy, will this do the trick to getting all that dead skin off your feet. Leave this on for an hour, and in the following days, you'll see dead skin fall right off. A bottle of CND SolarOil because cuticle care definitely falls under the umbrella of overall self-care. This helps your nail beds and the skin around them look so much better, thanks to the blend of vitamin E, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil. A pack of UV stickers — once you apply your sunscreen, they turn white, and then they turn back to purple to let you know that it's time to reapply. They're super thin and can withstand sweat, water, and dirt, basically making them a summer staple for anyone planning to be outdoors. A teeth-whitening pen so your pearly whites can be... pearly and white. This easy-to-use pen brushes on the whitening gel so you don't have to deal with annoying whitening strips. With consistent daily use, you won't be able to help but smile at the results. A Maybelline concealer for anyone who's tired of looking... tired and dealing with dark circles. This buildable formula is easy to swipe on thanks to its cushion applicator, and it's infused with haloxyl which helps tighten the skin! A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help remove all the dead skin on your heels and leave you with skin that feels as smooth as a baby's bottom! A long-wear lip tint that reviewers compare to the likes of Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution and YSL's Velvet Cream. It'll give you a beautiful pop of color and have your lips feeling hydrated thanks to the blend of vitamin E oil and green tea oil. An eyeliner stamp where all you need to do is stamp the wing on the outer corner of your eye and flip it over to the fine tip to finish off the job! Now you can quickly get ready for the day and not redo your eye makeup like a bajillion times. A satin-lined Hairbrella perfect for protecting your hair in the case that the weather has a mind of its own and doesn't take into account that you JUST did your hair. This keeps your hair dry during rainy, snowy, or humid days and the satin ensures that you aren't left with any frizz once you take this off! A beloved tightening cream with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. You know it's actually worth buying because even the 10-year-olds in Sephora go wild for this (and its matching body mist that comes in the same beloved salted caramel and vanilla scent). A powerful 30% glycolic acid peel that helps remove dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover for a more plump, firm, and evened-out skin texture. It contains retinol, which is basically like the skincare community's holy grail ingredient for reducing the appearance of fine lines, but make sure to start out slow with this peel since it can make your skin more sensitive. K18 — it does a stellar job at restoring moisture and softness to hair that has been through a lot, whether it's from bleaching or just frequent hot tool use. This reviewer says the leave-in reparative treatment is like "magic in a bottle!" A Color Wow anti-humidity spray to give you that salon "wow" feeling at home, and for way cheaper. This fights off frizz and leaves you with silky-looking hair. And FYI, this spray is heat-activated, so it's ideal to use it on damp hair and blow-dry for best results. A pair of exfoliating mitts you'll be able to see immediate results with, because dead skin will just clump up and roll right off your arms and legs. Reviewers have said that this helps with keratosis pilaris (those annoying red little bumps) and is a "miracle" for achieving smooth skin. A scalp massager you can use in the shower to help exfoliate your head and make sure all that shampoo really gets into those roots. This little tool easily fits into the palm of your hand and some reviewers said they have even seen hair growth after using this over time. A crème-to-powder waterproof eyeshadow stick if your second priority after serving a killer face card is an efficient makeup routine. This easy-to-use stick doesn't require a brush for application and will give you a pop of glow no matter what shimmery, matte, or metallic shade you choose. A breathable Glossier skin tint with a lightweight formula to give you jussstttt enough coverage, without feeling cakey. It gives off a dewy finish and is infused with glycerin to help your skin feel super hydrated. A splurge-worthy and dermatologist-recommended Elta MD tinted sunscreen — tried and true by so many that you'll want to incorporate it into your daily routine, even when the sun isn't out. This SPF 41 sunscreen has matte finish and has an oil-free formula that helps protect against breakouts (making it perfect for acne-prone skin). You, trying to subtly show off your perfect winged eyeliner, which you did with no touch-ups required: The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

Walmart quietly launches new same-day delivery option in 5 more US cities
Have you ever ordered something from Amazon or Walmart - maybe a pack of Mighty Patches, a meat thermometer, or a pack of T-shirts - and found it rattling around in a mostly empty box? And then thought about all the resources it took to get that (perhaps) nonessential item into your hands? If the pandemic made one thing better, we can now count on fast, reliable delivery for everything from beauty products and kitchen essentials to wardrobe staples. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Although Covid lockdown restrictions may have been lifted years ago, our expectations around fast shipping have persisted. But that convenience comes at a cost. Retail giants like Walmart, Amazon, and Target responded to our demands by rapidly building out their e-commerce infrastructure. While Amazon is still the main game in town for next-day or two-day delivery, Walmart is becoming a legitimate rival, partly because of its nationwide network of stores. According to World Trade Scanner, 90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart store. This makes it easy for the retailer to accommodate same-day curbside pickup, but Walmart's delivery service is outpacing that growth. Image source:Now, Walmart is aiming to speed same-day delivery even more by using drones. The move may also help the retailer cut down on emissions, since its electric drones will reduce the carbon footprint of local deliveries. Drone delivery is moving from the testing phase to actual implementation, and Walmart is betting that the next leap in same-day delivery isn't on the ground - it's in the air. What once seemed futuristic is quickly becoming a reality, and if Walmart has its way, you may soon get your paper towels, pain relievers, or pasta delivered by drone less than 30 minutes after ordering. Walmart recently shared it's expanding drone delivery service through a partnership with Wing. The rollout covers major areas in Dallas and Frisco, Texas, where more than 75% of residents will now have access to drone deliveries for select items. It's also turning 100 of its stores into launch pads in five new cities: Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Houston; and Orlando and Tampa, Florida. Walmart already provides drone delivery in its headquarters city of Bentonville, Arkansas. Related: USPS makes change to rival Amazon consumer will appreciate The drones made by Alphabet-owned Wing are fast, light, and autonomous and can carry packages up to three pounds. They fly at around 65 mph, and lower deliveries on a tether straight into your driveway or yard - no landing required. The drones offer fast, contactless delivery that fits the modern shopping habits shaped by the pandemic. The expansion builds on Walmart's growing experience in this space. It has already partnered with other drone companies and completed hundreds of thousands of test deliveries in recent years. Wing says the service is perfect when customers need everyday essentials quickly but don't want to run to the store. Walmart's experimentation with drones is not a gimmick. Rather, it's an attempt to solve what logistics companies call the "last mile problem," referring to the most expensive and time-consuming part of any delivery. Walmart's drone delivery isn't just about speed - it's about transforming how supply chains work. Walmart is able to use its massive network of stores as fulfillment hubs, allowing the company to shorten delivery times and reduce reliance on traditional warehouses. That's a major advantage over Amazon, which still relies heavily on centralized logistics. Related: FedEx layoffs signal a concerning business trend The pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce, but it also changed what customers expect. People don't just want online ordering - they want instant gratification. Drone delivery gets closer to that goal. It also offers sustainability benefits. Of course, there are still hurdles to clear. Regulatory approvals, weather constraints, and payload limits all remain challenges. And broader concerns - like safety, privacy, and noise - will need to be addressed as drones become more common. Still, Walmart's investment in this space signals something bigger: a retail landscape that's continuing to evolve long after Covid. For shoppers, it means even more ways to get what they need, when they want it.

Jordan Chiles 'finally' feels good about her skin
Jordan Chiles has taken 22 years to "embrace" her complexion. The 24-year-old gymnast has suffered from acne in the past but she feels a lot more positive about her skin these days. She told Refinery29: 'I have [acne] scars here and there, but now I'm finally at a point where I'm positive with myself and my skin. 'Literally, it took me 22 years to finally be like, look, Jordan, you're a gorgeous girl. You have beautiful skin. Embrace that.' The Olympian tries to keep her routine simple when it comes to looking after her sensitive skin. She said: 'A majority of the time, I only use a good cleanser, an exfoliator, and then a nice, silky moisturiser. 'I keep it very simple, but make sure everything is hydrated and my skin looks good and glowy.' Jordan is the new face of Hero Cosmetics and she's a huge fan of their Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers. She said: 'People always ask me, 'What do you do for your skincare?' So I was really happy Hero wanted me to be one of their ambassadors. Whether it's dark spots or a pimple that's coming up and I want it gone, I've always loved Mighty Patch... "I have Mighty Patches in every bag, my car, my room, and probably in five different bathrooms." Asked her favourites, she replied: 'Literally all of them, but since I go to practice a lot, [I love] the invisible ones and the dark spot ones with the prickly points.' And Jordan also loves Hero's Pore Purity Cleansing Clay Mask, which features sea clay and sea kelp bio-ferment to decongest skin. She said: 'It makes my face so soft — I love it. I've been recently using it two to three times a week to get my pores in the right way and all that stuff.' When she is competing, Jordan hasn't been afraid to be "glam" with nail art and fluttery lashes firm features of her look. She said: 'My older sister, who is my hair and makeup artist, definitely gave me a perspective of understanding that glam is something to enjoy, have fun with, and be creative."

"We are never, ever, ever getting back together" — you to La Mer after you try the Nivea creme.

Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water that'll remove makeup just like Bioderma. It'll also clear skin of dirt and oil, all without stripping your face of moisture. The highly effective Bio-Oil designed to help minimize the appearance of scars just as well as Mederma scar gel, a drugstore staple. Anndd as an added bonus, Bio-Oil is also made to help nourish your skin without clogging your pores. ALL that and still less than half the price — it just one-upped you, Mederma. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that'll make removing your makeup easy as can be. (Yup, even waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance!)

Or a container of Albolene moisturizing cleanser reviewers are loving as an equally effective — and much more affordable — makeup remover compared to Clinique Take The Day Off balm. Massage this balm on your face and watch your makeup melt away. Or a makeup cleansing cloth that works just like the MakeUp Eraser to remove A L L your makeup by just adding water…yes, even waterproof makeup. Buhbyeee wasteful makeup removing wipes! How does it make sense? IDK maybe it's magic, but whatever it is, it *works.* Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer if you've been looking for something to cover up big pimples, redness, or dark circles without weighing you down or lightening up your wallet too much. Essence Lash Princess mascara that will give you the look of wearing falsies, without the hassle of making sure you actually know how to put them on. Not to mention, the end result will be basically the same as you would get with higher-end mascaras, only significantly cheaper. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer, which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. A six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks so you can have ~options~ and still pay less than what you'd pay for *one* color of another brand. Don't worry, just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap — reviewers are saying they perform just as well as those more expensive brands.

44 Cheap Alternatives To Expensive Products You'll Love
A pair of high-waisted leggings reviewers can't help but compare to Lululemon's thanks to that buttery soft material — but, like, a lotttt cheaper. They're legit perfect for running errands, lounging around, or even hitting that squat goal at the gym — because yeah, they're just that comfy. A Renpho percussion massager with five different heads and speeds so you can use it all over your body. You can give yourself a great deep muscle massage at a much more affordable rate than the TheraGun that's been sitting in your cart for the last few weeks. E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen that is clear (!!!) so you don't have to deal with the white cast that is sure to appear with other sunscreens, no matter how much you try to blend it into your face. This sunscreen is lightweight, incredibly smooth, offers SPF 35, AND it doubles as a blurring primer so you can use it under your makeup. Supergoop!, stand aside, cause this baby is super duper similar for only, like, a third of the price! Some breathable, machine-washable pointed-toe flats because you've always strived to one day reach that effortless Jess Day aesthetic — without needing to shell out big bucks for brands like Rothy or Vivaia. They have a stretchy knit upper which makes them super comfy to wear, and when they get dirty (because let's be honest, you'll be wearing these everywhere), you can simply toss 'em into the wash. A 20-pack (!) of extra-thick magic cleaning pads that will erase any crayon, pen, or scuff marks from... well... just about anything. Walls, floors, tubs, sinks, cars, and even shoes can be cleaned with a lil' bit of elbow grease, some water, and these magical sponges. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has got nothing on these. Rael Beauty's Miracle Patch if you basically want Mighty Patches for a less cost per patch. These clean out any pore-clogging gunk that's festering right under the surface of your skin. Just pop one of these over a whitehead and let it sit for 6–8 hours to absorb all the goo stuck in your pores. A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets so you can feel like you're snuggling up with absolute luxury — but without dropping hella $$$$ on Cozy Earth or Egyptian cotton sheets. They're soft, moisture-wicking, and don't fade, pill, or stain. Best. Sheets. Ever. A ribbed workout jumpsuit oh-so-freakin' similar to the Skims jumpsuit that has dominated your FYP lately, but for like a fraction of the price.

And all without having to shell out $50+ on a set of trendy Bala Bangles??? You're gonna be the trendiest person at your gym.

Just apply it to wet hair, leave it in for five minutes, and say goodbye to the damaged look your hair has been sporting after years of abuse at the hands of bleach and flat irons. Many reviewers even say this is comparable (or even better) than the pricey Olaplex No.3. A professional MUA–approved black makeup sponge perfect for blending in your foundation, BB cream, powder, and even concealer at a fraction of the cost of all other well-known brands. Reviewers even swear these sponges hold up and work just as well (or even better) than Beauty Blender and Real Technique ones. I just added these to my cart. An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven that will elevate your kitchen aesthetics, but won't hurt your wallet like the chef-beloved Le Creuset. This baby heats up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and cooks everything evenly, so it can withstand a bunch of different cooking styles — no problem! Use this baby to cook up some rice, soup, stew, or even some sourdough bread. E.l.f.'s Camo Liquid Blush, to give you a gorgeous, soft, dewy finish. It's easy to blend on your cheeks, and you'll fall in love with how pigmented, long-lasting, and buildable it is!

And a 12-pack of soft microfiber makeup removing towels so you can gently remove your makeup without relying on the increasingly expensive liquid removers. These towels can be used again and again, are perfect for travel, and literally cost just over $1 per cloth. Move over, Makeup Eraser; these are both easier to use AND are about 20 times cheaper. A new-and-improved Govee neon rope light you can bend and customize into weird, unique shapes to work as the Coolest. Lamp. Ever.

You can even control the lighting effects through the app, or connect it via Google Assistant or Alexa! Hue, step aside. An ultra-hydrating TruSkin vitamin C serum capable of helping transform your skin by boosting collagen and reducing the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, acne, and clogged pores. This serum contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and jojoba oil — all powerful ingredients made to brighten your skin. Say buh-bye to the expensive SkinCeuticals serum! A Briotech spray incredibly similar to the famous (and more pricey) Tower 28 SOS facial spray, to reduce redness. The main ingredient, hypochlorous acid, triggers an immune response that'll signal your body to repair and heal irritated skin (yeah, just like your white blood cells do). A set of satin pillowcases that are gentle on hair, meaning you're less likely to experience tangles or frizz, no matter how much you toss and turn. And no, you don't need to spend as much as you would buying the popular Slip pillowcases. Essence's Lash Princess Mascara for those of you who would love a way to get the falsies look for $5! This mascara is incredibly affordable, incredibly volumizing, and lasts the entire day — plus, it comes off so easily, no smudging or makeup remover required! Say goodbye to the days of shelling out for more expensive mascaras like Too Faced Better Than Sex, L'Oreal Telescopic Lift, and many, many more — this one is better. A simple, gorgeous tennis bracelet to add some ✨sparkle✨ to your wrist, but ya know, without costing you the down payment of a nice house in the suburbs. This elegant piece looks just like Swarovski, and reviewers say it doesn't tarnish, so it's bound to last you a lifetime. After all, diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but cubic zirconia is her lover.

This scrub contains ingredients like Madonna lily, lemon peel, French green clay, and sea kelp — all of which will leave your skin glowing and hydrated all day long. An eyebrow soap kit to sculpt your brows into mini-masterpieces that will stay in place for hours. With just a few swipes of a brush, you can boast perfectly fluffed brows. Reviewers even claim that it's better than any name-brand alternatives! (Anastasia Beverly Hills, I'm looking at you.) E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, infused with tea tree and vitamin E to help smooth out the appearance of wrinkles, blur pores, and get that whole IRL filter look. Plus, it hydrates your skin, lasts all day, and is a lot cheaper (yet incredibly similar to) Tatcha's Silk Canvas primer! Time to make this a staple in your makeup routine. A fanny pack to keep your most valuable items strapped close to your chest — it's necessary while you weave through a busy mall or an overpopulated airport terminal. And it's striking how closely it resembles the $$$ Lululemon belt bag. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer that can dry, style, straighten, and add some volume without having to play with about 50 other tools or products. Just step out of the shower, turn this magic wand on, and voila! The perfect look! Spending $500+ on a Dyson Airwrap is not necessary. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks to give you soft and supple lips for less than half the price of the popular Laneige lip mask. These masks use ingredients like berry extract and vitamin C to target dry and cracked lips while you sleep. There are three different scents, so you can share them with friends — or hoard them all for yourself. A chain purse if you've always salivated over the thought of owning Gucci's Dionysus bag, but your bank account says ✨no.✨ This has the same chain style and front clasp, so literally no one will be able to tell the difference — don't worry, I won't spill your lil' secret. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer, to mask those dark circles without feeling like you're wearing something heavy across your skin. It color-corrects and conceals, so you can pretend as though you haven't been pulling all-nighters all week. This magic wand has a built-in sponge for application and will give you all-day coverage (all for cheaper than those 💸💸💸 name-brand options). Skin1004's Zombie Pack masks that only take 15 minutes to work! They are made with albumin, an egg white extract that can help keep your face looking hydrated, bright, and lifted! Reviewers even compare it to Hanacure, but way cheaper. A highly rated pair of hoop earrings to match literally every outfit you own. These accessorize absolutely everything and will look cute paired with anything — from your leggings to your little black dress. No one has to know that you got these off Amazon, instead of dropping hundreds of $$$ on Jennifer Fisher. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip, because why spend $40+ on that one Dior lip oil, when you can have basically the same thing for $9?! It's hydrating (thank you, vegan squalane), has beautiful sheer colors, and, despite the gloss, is surprisingly not sticky! Gorgeous. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers, oh-so-similar to Lululemon's Align joggers. The fabric has four-way stretch, plus they have pockets! You'll find yourself reaching for these on every occasion possible — they'll honestly be the comfiest pants you own. And a soft, stretchy longline sports bra if you've always wanted the Lululemon look, but you don't feel like dropping money on the name brand. The look and material are so comparable to Lulu, literally no one will believe you were able to snag this from Amazon. Time to get one in every color. CeraVe's Retinol Serum to prevent irritation, flakiness, and redness, all while helping reduce the appearance of acne scars and pores. Now you can finally add a retinoid to your routine without having to pay $92 for Murad's retinol serum (big yikes). L'Oreal's illuminating Lumi Glotion for those of you who want that perfect "no-makeup" look. You can use this in place of foundation or simply add it to your existing makeup look for a bit of a glow. Plus, it's under $15, so it's the perfect substitute for the expensive options like Glossier Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. A pair of sling-back mules so similar to Chanel you'll find yourself triple-checking the price just in case. You can pair 'em with slacks or a cutesy lil' dress, and you'll basically be radiating luxury. Some cleaning tablets you can use to clean out all the gunk and grime from that two-day-old coffee that has stained the bottom of your thermos. Just toss the tab (which can also clean dentures and retainers) into your bottle full of water, wait 15 minutes, and pour it out. It'll be clean with no scrub and no hassle. Plus, they have a lower cost per clean than the popular Bottle Bright tablets. A faux-leather belt that is sure to become the focal piece of your outfit. Is it actually Gucci? Perhaps not. But those buddies you meet weekly for brunch don't gotta know that. BestLand's high-performance matte lipsticks, to bring some color to your lips without the fear of it smearing after every single dab of a napkin. Each lipstick costs less than $2 each, an absolute steallll when compared to the $25+ for other famous name brands 👀. Or the long-lasting Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint, that will give your pout a smooth, ultra-pigmented stain with a silky finish without having to worry about constantly reapplying. Reviewers even swearrrr it's just as good as products like the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution and YSL Velvet Cream. A cubic zirconia cuff — it'll have strangers actually thinking you spent (wait, checks notes) $17,000 😱 on the Cartier Love Bracelet. Not only is it less than $12, but you don't need to screw it on — unlike the way too ridiculously expensive version. And on that note, a cubic zirconia ring because you've always wanted the Cartier Love Ring to match, but not the price attached to it. It's simple, it's elegant, and it's pretty much guaranteed to never go out of style. Time to get one in every metal.
