Promising review: "I've been wanting to try this for a long time, and I'm sooo glad I finally purchased the medium shade. It covers everything perfectly without even looking like I'm wearing any foundation at all. I'm 64, and my skin is combination oily/normal. This is the best product I have ever used, including Lancome, Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, and Clinique. Doesn't go into wrinkles and stays flawless all day." —Laura

Price: $19 (originally $36; available in nine shades) — and check out other beauty deals during Amazon's Summer Beauty Event!

Promising reviews: "These are perfect curtains. They block out light so well, and they keep the room well-insulated if it’s too hot or cold. Plus, they’re silky soft 😱🤭" —Emily

"Blackout curtains worked so well in our bedroom that I ordered more sets to stop the glare on our TV in the living room! The bedroom gets so dark when the curtains are closed that I couldn't see our black Labrador." —Goldfish Fan

Price: $9.98 (originally $28.71; only available at this price in black)

Promising review: "I'm not one to hop on a trend, but when the nectarine color came out, I just adored it, so I figured I might as well try it and see what the hype is. Well, first off, the color is absolutely just as gorgeous as in the photos advertising it! Second, the quality of these cups is out of this world great! The top rotates if you don't want to use a straw, and you can simply use it to sip coffee, etc., which, having both options, is what I have literal dreams of in a cup. The handles are nice, it fits in cup holders, and it's overall the perfect size... I'm a nurse, so this size cup is vital for me to stay hydrated without hurting my wrists packing something heavy every day, which is a big bonus for me." —Timmy

Promising review: "I’ve been using this wireless charging station for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier. It charges my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time—no messy cables, no overheating, and no guesswork about placement. Just drop the device on the pad and it starts charging instantly. What really impressed me is how fast and consistent the charging is. My phone goes from 20% to 80% noticeably quicker than with other chargers I’ve tried, and it never disconnects or stalls. The build quality feels solid, and the design looks great on my nightstand—clean, modern, and minimal." —Akiena K

It's recommended to use the Air Shot mode 2–3 times a week. The other modes — Booster, MC (microcurrent), and Derma Shot — can be used 1–3 times daily.

Promising review: "This little device has completely upgraded my skincare routine. It’s easy to use, feels very gentle on my skin, and helps my products absorb so much better. I love the different modes and how I can customize it depending on whether I want a soothing, relaxing treatment or something more lifting and firming. The design is sleek, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, and the battery life has been great so far. I’ve noticed that my skin looks smoother and more “glowy” when I use it consistently. If you’re serious about skincare and want a tool that actually feels high-quality and effective, this is a fantastic buy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" —Ana Julia

Promising review: "I was nervous to order in fear of a chintzy thin rug, but upon receiving it, I was surprised! The rug is not only thick, but it is also well-made! Great quality." —LADYSIP

Price: $9.98 for a 30-by-20-inch rug (originally $15.99)

Promising review: "Works exactly as intended. Price is great for what you get. It’s not too big or small, which is nice because the time is easily visible. Sound quality is actually really good. It’s wired, so it doesn’t run off battery. Adjustable brightness is cool. 10/10." —Drew

Price: $22.54 (originally $35.99; also available in other colors for smaller or no discounts) 

This Italian skincare brand is based in Alba, a town in Piedmont, Italy, and is centered around their most prized ingredient, white truffle (also known as the "underground diamond").

Promising review: "Love this spray that hydrates my skin and gives my makeup look the best it’s ever looked. I wear a lot of makeup on stage, and I’m constantly sweating from all the dancing, so this spray comes in clutch every time and keeps me going for hours. I like to spray it in between my makeup process, and especially after powders. I’ve tried a lot of sprays, and this is the one I reach for every time!" —Deniece

Price: $13.29+ (originally $20+; available in three sizes and four styles).

Promising review: "I've had this vacuum for almost two years now, and it still works as good as new. I have two Shiba Inu dogs who shed so much it's ridiculous. All of the attachments have their own obvious uses. The suction is great, and the vacuum isn't loud enough when set to max suction to scare my dogs. They actually love it when I turn it on because they love to get brushed and groomed. Worth every penny to help keep my dogs looking nice and clean." —Kevin Pellot

Promising review: "I have several Jackery products, and this one is my newest. I had a chance to use it camping, where it powered my portable fridge and diesel heater, and it worked really well. I recently used it during a random power outage to keep my home fridge running for four hours (when the power came back on). After nearly four hours, the unit still had 80% power remaining. It should be noted that Jackery changed the charging port design slightly from the last generation of solar generators, and my older SolarSaga 100W panels would not pair with the unit to charge it. Really happy with the newer tech in the unit and its functionality. For its capabilities, it's not too heavy and packs easily into my vehicle without taking up needed space. Will be purchasing more Jackery equipment in the future." —Jeff M.

Promising review: "I love these boots! I can wear them all day, and I have plantar fasciitis. They keep my feet dry, and they have held up well for a year. If these ever wear out, I'm buying another pair." —Holly

Promising review: "Very well made, stylish, comfortable and works great. I have neuropathy and other problems in my feet and these don't affect them much even with my lift. Great buy" —Dixie carriere

Price: $72.03+ (originally $110; available in women's sizes 5-12, including wide sizes, and four colors/styles with various deals)

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 & Amanda

Promising review: "I upgraded from a cheaper blow dryer brush to the Drybar Double Shot, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny! The quality is noticeably better, and it feels much more durable. It dries and styles my hair quickly while giving it a smooth, salon-quality finish with plenty of volume. The lightweight design makes it easy to use, even for longer styling sessions. One tip I learned from my previous blow dryer brush — clean out the hair and lint regularly to keep it working efficiently and prolong its lifespan. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality blow dryer brush!" —Santino/Hailey

Price: $108.50 (originally $155; available in four sizes)

It covers up to 2,000 sq. ft. and 25 concurrent devices with dual-band WiFi 6 (AX2700) speed.

Promising review: "This router is a BEAST! My old router became outdated. After extensive research, I decided to purchase  this particular router. YES, it does work with Cox cable services! its upper tier high quality equipment, so it's expensive! Primarily designed for HIGH speed service. My speeds jumped from 250 to 575. WOW! You can immediately see a difference in quality and speed. Excellent for general purpose, business, gaming and streaming movies...its a BEAST! I have found NOTHING bad to say about this router....its GOOD! Right out the box...a BEAST! " —Sam's-Review

Price: $229.98 (originally $299.99) — Psst — it's also gaming week at Amazon, shop all the deals here!

They also come with a case that'll tell you how charged your 'buds are. 

Promising review: "I bought these earbuds almost a year ago, and they have been one of the best purchases I've ever made. I own the Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds, and take them with me everywhere because I am sensitive to loud noises and the noise canceling can't be beat. The problem is they are very expensive, and I've lost more than one pair. I've tried a lot of different earbuds as a backup to my Bose, but none that claimed to have noise canceling had the same level of noise canceling as my primary earbuds — until this pair. The sound and noise canceling are amazing for the price. Additionally, the battery life is incredible, and the charging case tells you how much life it has left, which is something the Bose doesn't offer." —Lea Weaver

Price: $27.99+ (originally $39.99; available in seven colors)

Promising review: "I've had this air fryer for probably two months or longer as of this review and have used it many times. It's fantastic! I'm amazed at how fast it cooks and especially at how easy it is to clean. I took a risk and put a steak in it, and it came out just like I wanted, with a nice pink in the center, and it looked like it had been pan-fried. My other air fryer cooked well, too, but it was a monster to clean. This one is super easy to hand-wash or put into the dishwasher. A plastic sticky sheet comes with it that you can adhere to the top for quick cooking directions, which I did, and I find it very helpful. As of now, there is absolutely nothing I can say bad about this air fryer. It also holds a lot of food, and I can put three big hamburger patties in it at one time." —loveguitar

Promising review: "Probably the best purchase I've ever made. I’ve been thinking about buying an air fryer for a long time, and I don’t know what stopped me from it. After getting one, I started cooking almost everything in it. I love it. All the food is crunchy and still healthy because I don’t use oil at all. I especially love to cook salmon and French fries in the air fryer. It takes no more than 13 minutes, and the result is always delicious. You won’t regret buying this tiny kitchen helper!" —Yelizaveta

It's also swimproof with 50m water resistance too!

Promising review: "This Apple Watch feels sturdy while still being lightweight. The aluminum case resists scratches really well — I’ve accidentally bumped it a few times at work and the surface still looks smooth. The starlight color is subtle and stylish, making it easy to wear with anything. Functionality is impressive, from fitness tracking to quick notifications, and everything responds fast on the Retina display. What I like is how practical it is in everyday use. Calls and texts come through clearly, and the sound quality on speaker mode is surprisingly crisp for such a small device. It gives me the confidence that it’s not only durable but also reliable when I actually need it." —Makenna

Price: $179+ (originally $249; available in six colors and with or without cellular)

Promising review: "This bed is absolutely amazing, and worth every penny. Why, you may ask, because I have bought my dog so many beds and he would still end up on my couch. The minute he stepped into his bed, he was literally me when a new series comes out… absolutely slumped. He’s a 65lb medium-sized Staffy, and at 8 years old, it definitely looks like he’s getting the support he needs." —Ariana V.  

Price: $39.99+ (originally $59.99; available in eight sizes and 19 colors)

Promising review: "I love Urban decay eyeliner. Colors are bright and vibrant. Plus they don’t run they stay in place. I’ve used this eyeliner for the last 10 years and I have several colors I switch between. Plus it’s a longer pencil than most other brands so you can get more out of it." —Susan E. Stribling

Price: $18.40 (originally $23; available in 23 colors) — and shop more Urban Decay deals here

Promising review: "Love this chair! I researched lots and lots of chairs and decided to give this one a try, and I have absolutely no regrets. I am a tall woman and wanted a chair with a tall back, lumbar support, and the capability to raise the seat high enough, so that my legs are perpendicular to the floor when my feet are flat on the ground. This chair does all that. The chair is also very light to maneuver around, which is another plus. I have had it for four months now and would definitely purchase this chair again." —Dissatisfied with Shipping

Price: $192.50+ (original $269.50+; available in 17 styles/colors)

Promising reviews: "This is probably the best purchase I have ever made on Amazon. This is very well made. Like incredibly well made. It stores sooo much stuff!!! My daughter loved it, and now I am eyeing one for myself. My daughter had jewelry and trinkets everywhere in her room. This put everything neatly in one space. It's elegant and well-made. Mirror + jewelry holder = game changer." —Linnette

"I love, love, LOVE this jewelry cabinet!! It is perfect in EVERY way! There is a ton of space for all sorts of various styles of jewelry, and the LED lights in the top are super helpful to light up the inside...this is a MUST BUY in my opinion!" —Erika

Price: $71.99+ (originally $99.99; only available at this price in white)

Apply a pea-sized shape to each lid and let it sit for 30 seconds before you whip out your palette and get to blending!

Promising reviews: "Saw this used by a makeup artist on TikTok giving a tutorial for women over 40. Totally changed how my eyeshadow works. No clumping or crease lines!" —wo1995

"I've always been ambivalent at best on eyeshadow primers. Saw this on a lightning deal and decided to try again. I am pleasantly surprised by this product. I read the reviews (which I seriously rely on) and saw it had been featured in magazines as a 'best product,' so I figured, what the heck, it's cheap. A little goes a long way. The primer has a serum-like feel (matte finish) and a super soft texture. Depending on the brand and type of shadow I use, the pigment will start to crease. I have used primers from many expensive brands, but never really cared for them and didn't feel the extra step made a difference (and I have done stage makeup and been a makeup artist for commercial productions in the past). Thank Me Later actually works (and has a catchy yet true name). I've specifically worn my shadows that crease the most, and even after my work day is over, my eye makeup looks great." —G&T Davis

Promising review: "I just don't know what to say. I've had dozens of different Bluetooth speakers, like we've all had at this point, but this little rectangle I'm holding in my hand is completely blowing my mind right now. The sounds are so deep across my entire living room at 50% volume. This thing sounds like it has a subwoofer in it that rivals a weak 10-inch sub. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I know music. I played the violin for 10 years and continue to make music to this day. The sound coming out of this little handheld speaker defies everything I thought I knew about speakers. This is the one guys. " —rhonda rae

Price: $29.99 (typically $39.99; available in four other colors)

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says about these: "My son is prone to getting *very* high fevers, so I've always needed to have a reliable thermometer on hand. I truly love the Frida Baby one (and, honestly, everything the brand makes), as it can be used in more than one way. I like having the option to take his temperature on his forehead and in his ear, then compare the two to feel like I have a pretty accurate reading. It lights up green if the temperature is good and red if it's a bit too high (or low!). It's so easy to use. My 3-year-old has learned how to use it on his own (he likes to check his stuffed animals for fevers, haha). I've literally never had to change the batteries, and I've had it for over a year!"

Promising review: "So easy to use!! Popped it straight out of the box and was able to use it without instructions. In fact, even my 3-year-old was able to use it on her own without my help. Definitely a must-have!" —Nichelle

Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It’s one of those products that you don’t understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats,and my house is all carpet, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it’s made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I’ve had it. It’s very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn’t be on the carpet. It’s very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I’m NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —hailee

Promising review: "So...this Waterpik is amazing. I had 4mm and 5mm periodontal pockets from not flossing and also experienced some bone loss. I also had to get a very uncomfortable deep gum pocket cleaning. I literally hated flossing and would find myself avoiding to floss, even though I needed it very much. My gums were red, swollen, and inflamed because I was in the early stages of periodontal disease. I started using the Waterpik flosser and instantly liked this way of flossing much better! After using it consecutively each night for only five days, my gums were noticeably better and felt much better. After two weeks of using the Waterpik flossing, coconut oil pulling, and mouthwash treatment, my gums have done a complete 180, and my mouth and gums are starting to heal properly! Also this flosser can be somewhat loud, but definitely gets the job done. I bought this with my own money, and this is an honest testimonial/review." —Ebony

Promising review: "game-changer! It heats bottles quickly and evenly, saving me so much time during busy mornings. I love the multiple functions — whether I need to warm milk, sterilize, or defrost, this device handles it all seamlessly. It’s easy to use and keeps my baby's bottles at the perfect temperature. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a reliable, multi-functional warmer!" —Aleasha Casaretto
