Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum

“I first bought this Caudalie serum in Paris a couple of years ago, and I’ve been using it religiously ever since. It’s full of brightening and hydrating ingredients, which are key for someone like me with deep purple dark circles and acne scars. My complexion is now visibly brighter — so much so that I frequently get compliments on my clear, even skin. Now, I’m not denying that it comes with a steep price tag, but it’s the one skin care product in my lineup that I can wholeheartedly say is worth it.” — Eden Lichterman, shopping editor

Bala Bangles Wrist and Ankle Weights

“Is this a safe space to say that heavy weights scare me? Thankfully, I can still tone up with these wearable weights that are just as much a fashion statement as they are exercise equipment. I usually strap them on for my quick pilates workouts, but they can give you a burn while doing anything, including wiping down counters, folding laundry, or even typing at a computer.” — Alyssa Grabinski, senior shopping writer

Vegamour Gro+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo

“Since my early 30s, I’ve lamented how much hair I shed when I wash it — but this is the first topical treatment I’ve used that’s made a difference. I bought a bottle after we crowned it the best shampoo for thinning hair, and now I’m on my second. My favorite thing about it is that my hair feels noticeably thicker in my hands right after I wash it (yes, even while wet.) My least favorite thing? It’s my priciest hair product, so I’m careful to use no more than the recommended quarter-size amount each time.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Switchbot K10+ Robot Vacuum

“This mini robot vacuum sucks up everything in its path when it zooms around my home. It can handle both pet hair and cat litter without getting jammed or tangled. I love to run it on days when I'm busy and don't have time to clean. It glides easily across rugs, hardwood floors, and around bulky furniture.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Jane Flats

“I’m getting married in less than four months, so most of my fashion purchases recently have been bright white, including these Sam Edelman Mary Jane flats. I wore them for the first time at a winery during my bachelorette party, and they were comfortable the moment I put them on my feet. While I plan to wear them with white dresses for future bridal events, I can also see myself styling them more casually for everyday wear with a simple tee and wide-leg jeans.” — Eden Lichterman, shopping editor

Our Place Always Pan 2.0

“After putting some intense elbow work into scrubbing a skillet clean at the Airbnb I recently stayed at, I came home even more thankful for my Our Place Pan. The brand sent it to me to test a few years ago, and it’s truly been a game changer in my kitchen. My husband does a lot of the cooking, so I’m usually on cleanup duty, which is always very easy when we use this pan because literally nothing sticks — it just needs a little bit of hot, soapy water. We love our pan so much, we bought one for my mom for Christmas. She now owns almost every pan from Our Place!” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director 

Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops

“Since I’ve tried to cut down on my skin’s exposure to the sun in recent years, these tanning drops from Isle of Paradise have become my saving grace. Not only are they incredibly easy to use — simply combine the drops with a few pumps of lotion before bed for a healthy-looking tan that’s ready in hours — but they’re much less fragrant and pigmented than other self-tanners I’ve tried (meaning, they won’t rub off on your bed sheets overnight).” — Averi Baudler, senior shopping writer

Watson & Whitely Counter Height Bar Stools Set

“These counter stools have made a great addition to our home — they’re comfortable, practical, and very stylish. My husband handled the assembly, and while there were plenty of parts to sort through, he said the instructions were clear, the package came with the tools needed, and the final product came together smoothly. 

“The faux leather feels soft, the seats are well-padded, and the light brown color is warm and rich. We bought a set of two, and while I’ve been using one in my workspace, my kids also sit on them daily to draw, craft, have a snack, or do school work. They feel very sturdy (even after my 10-year-old spins in them), and they’re a perfect fit for our space.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer

Momofuku Chili Crunch by David Chang

“In my family, we’re serious Momofuku fans — instead of turkey on Thanksgiving, we make the restaurant’s Bo Ssam with lettuce wraps. I got indoctrinated into its collection for at-home cooks thanks to this chili crunch, which my mom gave to me and my siblings as a Christmas gift a few years back. And now, I literally cannot make eggs for breakfast without it! I’ll also throw a spoonful into a stir fry marinade to spice things up. You can also get it in an on-sale bundle with soy sauce and seasoned salt.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam

“My skin has been dull and dry lately, but any time I use this Sulwhasoo cleanser, I swear I look instantly hydrated. I got my first bottle of it for free, used it up, and then switched back to whatever was in my skincare lineup before — cue the instant regret. Now that I’m washing my face with it regularly (both in the morning and at night), I’ve noticed an improvement in overall dullness. It’s one of my very few Subscribe and Save orders at Amazon.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director  

Philips Ultra Definition LED Light Bulbs, 4-Pack

“These Philips lightbulbs emit a calming, warm glow, and they work with dimmable light fixtures and lamps, as well as standard switches. My first pack has lasted me a couple of months — which is a lot longer than other bulbs I’ve tried — but I’m using Prime Day to stock up for the rest of the year. Choose from 40-watt, 60-watt, 75-watt, and 100-watt options; they’re all on sale.” — Lindsey Greenfeld, senior shopping editor

Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights

“The colors of these hand weights were part of the reason I selected them, but they’re more than just aesthetically pleasing. The weights have a texture that feels soft when I’m holding them, yet they’re still firm, so I know they won’t slip out of my hand as I walk on the treadmill. The little pyramid-shaped stand keeps them contained when I’m done.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial director

Teton Celsius Regular Sleeping Bag

“Investing in a quality sleeping bag that wasn’t more than $150 was a top priority for my Pacific North Highway road trip last fall. We spent several nights camping in California and Oregon, and I knew it could get pretty chilly in the evenings (and trust me, it did!), so something warm was important. I was grateful for the plush interior lining and hood that trapped heat and kept me cozy when I was bundled up inside my tent.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director   

LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes Drink Mix

“Confession: I’m bad at drinking water when I need it most, like during a workout and while sitting in direct sunlight on the beach. Turns out, these little electrolyte packets are a good incentive. My favorite flavors are watermelon and raspberry; they taste like Gatorade, but better, and more salty than sugary. I’m proud of myself for hopping on the LMNT train before all of my favorite YouTube influencers.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Headphones

“I often hear things that other people don’t. That person tapping their pencil a few desks over? Yes, I heard it right away. What about that friend who came to dinner with a stuffy nose? I cringed with the sound of each sniffle. That’s why noise-cancelling headphones are the best thing to ever happen to me, and these are my favorite right now. They genuinely drown out all the fuss and sound clutter of the outside world, making me a happy, happy girl.”  — Alyssa Grabinski, senior shopping writer

What Time Does Prime Day End?

Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp Strengthening Oil

“As someone with fine, wavy-straight hair, hair growth and scalp health are always top of mind. I yearn for thick, voluminous locks and will try any product that promises those results. The only product that has delivered on its claims is this hair oil. Over the past year, I’ve coated my scalp in this oil before my everything-shower. I’ve noticed new hairs sprouting up around my hairline and have experienced less fall-out during hair washing. Plus, it leaves my hair ultra-soft.” — Izzy Baskette, shopping writer

Levoit Air Purifier

“As a dog owner, one of my biggest worries is my apartment smelling like a dog when friends come over. I’d been searching for hacks to keep the air smelling fresh and kept seeing people recommend this air purifier. Since I started using it about eight months ago, I’ve noticed that the pungent smell in my apartment isn’t as bad anymore. I run it daily at medium speed and don’t really notice the sound anymore — it’s almost like white noise. Cleaning it and replacing the filter has been super easy: I just wipe out the inside and replace the old, dusty filter with a new one.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director  

Naked Sundays SPF 50+ Collagen Glow Mineral Perfecting Primer

“This three-in-one primer from my favorite sun care brand has cut down my morning routine significantly. It’s my SPF, makeup primer, and moisturizer all in one. It doesn’t leave my skin with a weird white cast, it’s not greasy, and it doesn’t agitate my acne-prone skin, like other sunscreens do. Plus it’s fragrance-free. On super hot days, I wear it alone with no makeup.” — Shalwah Evans, senior editor

Cosori Air Fryer 9-in-1

“This multifunctional air fryer can do everything my oven can — without turning my apartment into a full-blown sauna. It makes cooking weeknight dinners faster, too, thanks to its speedy turbo modes with pre-programmed fan and heat settings, including air fry, roast, broil, and frozen. More than 30,000 shoppers have joined me in adding this clever gadget to their kitchens in the past month alone, and Prime members can snag it for less than $100 now.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Laneige Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum

“I’ve been a fan of the Lip Sleeping Mask for years, so I was very excited to try this tinted lip serum. The cinnamon sugar shade is a ‘my lips, but better’ hue (with a truly delicious scent!), and it leaves my lips with a subtle shine. I like that it’s in a tube I can just squeeze and swipe on, and the squishy applicator looks like a donut for a dose of cuteness. Most importantly, my often-dry lips feel soft for hours afterward.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial director

Windmill Window Air Conditioner with WhisperTech

“I would not be able to survive New York City summers without this air conditioning unit. It keeps my apartment cool without any loud clammer, which is especially great at night. I love that I can control it right from my phone — I often turn the unit on 10 to 20 minutes before I get home so I can walk into an already-chilled space. I usually keep it on Eco mode for daily use, so it automatically shuts off when it reaches my desired temperature to conserve energy, but its Cool and Fan settings are handy, too.” — Clara McMahon, senior shopping writer

NutriBullet Pro Blender

“No joke, my only kitchen counter is about the width of my hips. As such, I’m selective about which appliances can live on it — and this sleek little blender made the cut. I prefer it to my full-size blender not only because it’s accessible, but also because of how easy it is to use: Just twist the cup and blend. Compared to the last Nutribullet I had, I prefer this one because of its pulse feature, which helps me whip up sauces and banana-oatmeal pancake batter without thinning them out.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

JW Pei Gabbi Ruched Hobo Handbag

“A few years ago, I was constantly covering a new celebrity carrying this JW Pei bag, and it landed at the top of my wish list. I was lucky enough to unwrap it on Christmas Day! This little bag has been to so many places with me, as it made it in my suitcase for my Europe trip. I was surprised by how much fits inside, despite it being a pretty small purse. It can hold my wallet, keys, hair ties, lip balm, and claw clips. I was even able to fit my Kindle inside, though the bag wasn’t able to fully snap shut.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director

Anrabess Crewneck Sweater

“This may come as a shock, considering my entire career revolves around online shopping, but I actually don’t shop much on Amazon (gasp!). As such, the fact that I own this cozy sweater in two colors speaks volumes to its quality. It's lightweight enough that I can reach for it year-round, and its ribbed cuffs, collar, and hem add a polished touch to a typical crewneck sweater. Now that I think about it, I really should pick up another shade while it’s on sale.” — Averi Baudler, senior shopping writer

Ouai Fine Shampoo and Conditioner Set

“I always look for formulas that keep my hair cleaner for longer, and the Ouai formula does just that. This shampoo and conditioner set works well as a detox, removing residual product. The combo leaves my strands feeling moisturized, lightweight, and so soft, especially when combined with the Ouai leave-in conditioner. Now I can get away with three to four days in between washes.” — Madison Yauger, shopping editor

Lego Daffodils Building Set

“A friend of mine got me this Lego daffodil set as a housewarming gift two years ago, and it has become one of my favorite presents to date. Its charm is twofold: It’s both an activity and home decor. I spent an hour building the 216-piece set on a quiet weekend afternoon, and I keep the four daffodils displayed in a small vase on a shelf.” — Clara McMahon, senior shopping writer

Amazon Essentials 5-Inch Inseam Drawstring Linen Shorts

“Am I currently wearing these shorts while writing this? The answer is yes. These are my absolute favorite summer shorts. Like, truly, nothing beats them. They’re so comfortable and a great length, plus they go with all my basic tees. I own two pairs — terracotta orange and army green — but should probably buy them in every color since they’re under $20.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director 

Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock

“I’ll be the first to admit it — I am far from a morning person, so I’ll take any help getting out of bed that I can get. I love the gentle nudge this Hatch Sunrise Alarm provides, gradually shaking me from sleep over the course of 30 minutes, rather than the jolt of a traditional iPhone alarm. The device is packed with other sleep-promoting features, too, like a bedtime reminder, sound machine, guided meditation, and more, which I must admit have improved my overall sleep quality and leave me feeling refreshed.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Glamnetic Press-On Nails in Goal Digger

“I started doing my nails at home back in 2020, and Glamnetic quickly became my go-to brand. Not only are there so many different nail shapes and colors available, but they look good, too — everyone always thinks I got them done at a salon. I can wear the nails for two weeks without them ever loosening; the glue is that strong. And the removal process takes just minutes thanks to the brand's nail remover serum.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial director

Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows

“I bought Amazon’s best-selling pillows in 2023, and they still feel plump. The down-alternative filling has a slightly high loft that supports my head without making me feel like I’m laying on a rock. And I like that the cotton cover is soft and breathable — which is a must because I don’t have air conditioning in my bedroom — so the pillows keep me cool while I’m sleeping.” — Lindsey Greenfeld, senior shopping editor

Frameo Digital Picture Frame

“My dad doesn’t have Instagram, which is where my siblings and I share a lot of photos. So this year for Father’s Day, I suggested getting him this digital picture frame that we can upload photos and videos to through the Frameo app. He can react to what we send with a heart or laughing emoji, which he does every time. It’s been a fun gift for him and all of us! I highly recommend giving it to a loved one, especially if you live in a different state from them, like I do.” — Alex Nelson, associate editorial shopping director

Apple AirTag

“I once saw a person accidentally take someone else’s luggage from a carry-on bin on a flight, and that one moment convinced me to invest in Apple AirTags. Now, I always travel with an AirTag in each bag. They’re so tiny, so they take up virtually no space, and if I ever do get separated from my bags, I can just check the Find My app in my phone to see their location.” — Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial director

Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner

“When Meghan Markle revealed that she used this lash serum, I found out that a friend of mine with the longest lashes I’ve seen also swore by it. Since I hate applying (and removing!) mascara but love the look of voluminous lashes, I decided to try it, too. Three years of consistent use later, this has become my holy grail beauty product. My lashes are so long now that I rarely use mascara.” — Isabel Garcia, associate shopping editor

Bagail Compression Packing Cubes Set

“As someone who only travels with a carry-on, it’s crucial for me to make the most of my space, and these compression packing cubes ensure that I do that. On my most recent trip I packed three dresses, three pants, four matching sets, five shirts, four bikinis, three pairs of sandals, underwear, and toiletries in a single 19-inch suitcase thanks to these handy bags. And when it was time to repack for the journey home, I was able to easily separate clean clothes from dirty clothes, which made unpacking simple.” — Shalwah Evans, senior editor

Owala FreeSip Insulated Water Bottle

“A couple of weeks ago, I put a sizable dent in a branded S’well water bottle I received in 2016 — its fifth or sixth serious injury, that poor bottle. So I decided to put it to rest and replace it with an Owala, mostly because a former colleague spoke highly of its patented “FreeSip” spout that lets you sip from a built-in straw or tilt the bottle back for a bigger gulp. Which is, indeed, really nice. I’m not into the side handle of Stanley Quenchers, and even though I really like my Yeti wine tumbler, the brand’s water bottles don’t really speak to me, aesthetically. Next time I need another new bottle, I’m going to get this Owala color that reminds me of a watermelon.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

GE Profile Smart Indoor Pellet Cooker

“This indoor smoker is an investment, but it makes it incredibly easy to cook homemade barbecue, especially if you’re a beginner. The appliance is a little larger than a microwave or air fryer, and it comes with interchangeable racks and a temperature probe. You can program it to keep tabs on your barbecue and alert you when everything is ready, which makes it ideal for hosting. We tested it to cook up wings, salmon, and brisket — and you would never know that the food didn’t come from a traditional smoker. Everything had that irresistible smoky flavor, and even the seasoned barbecue experts in our families loved it.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

Levoit Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

“This powerful stick vacuum does not lack battery life; in fact, I was able to vacuum my entire apartment more than five times on a single charge. It sucks up dirt, debris, pet hair, and even coffee grounds with ease and has enough suction to tackle carpet and rugs. With several handy attachments, it can transform into a handheld vacuum cleaner ideal for upholstery and car interiors, or reach slender nooks and crannies with the crevice tool.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Apple Airpods Pro 2

“I’ve covered Apple tech for over seven years and didn’t love past iterations of AirPods, so I was blown away the first time I used these and tested the latest noise-cancelling mode. These earbuds include two listening modes, interchangeable and flexible tips that offer a more custom, comfortable fit, and a longer battery life. They help me tune out the noisy world, so I can run errands, listen to music, workout, walk around my neighborhood, commute, work at the office, and more in peace.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

“I always stock up on this super hydrating moisturizer when it’s on sale, because it’s a staple in my evening skincare routine. It banishes my dry patches and leaves my skin soft and supple, without making my oily T-zone feel greasy. Plus, it has stamps of approval from the National Excema Association, National Psoriasis Foundation, and the National Rosacea Society, it is sensitive skin-friendly, too..” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaning Machine

“Before purchasing this cleaner, I used to believe that some stains simply couldn’t be treated, and I’m so glad I was wrong. This tool has removed countless spots from my beige couch, pet stains from rugs and carpet, food spills from dining room chairs, and that yellow color that starts to appear on mattresses over time. I’ve been able to get out tough, dried stains, like hardened toothpaste, thanks to the scrubber that’s attached to the sprayer. It’s a little bulky to store (it does not come apart), but I always make sure I have room in my closet for this tool.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffee Maker

“I’ve been a daily coffee drinker since 2010, and about nine years ago, I made the switch from Keurig to Chemex. I like the control that pour over gives me, and it’s become a morning ritual to pull out my kitchen scale, heat up water, grind fresh beans, and enjoy the blooming scent of coffee as I dribble water into the glass coffeemaker and let the brand’s special filter do its thing. (Pro tip: Skip the reusable filters — they affect the taste of your coffee.) Not to mention, it’s way prettier to look at than a traditional coffee pot.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Matein Travel Laptop Backpack

“This backpack is my go-to for traveling. Whether I’m weaving through NYC sidewalks or sightseeing in London, I never leave home without it. Its padded straps keep me comfortable, and it easily fits my laptop and daily essentials. It’s by far the best travel backpack I’ve ever used. Plus, the clever layout keeps everything organized and accessible.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Oral-B iO Electric Toothbrush

“If you don’t have an electric toothbrush, (and I mean this in the kindest way) what are you doing? I got an Oral-B one similar to this model after my dentist recommended it to me a few years ago, and my teeth feel cleaner than ever. It also changes colors when you’re pushing too hard, and it vibrates every thirty seconds so you know when to move on to the next section of your mouth. It even lets you know when to replace the brushhead.” — Alyssa Grabinski, senior shopping writer

Terro Ant Killer Bait Stations

“No matter how well I seal up food and window cracks, I get ants in my first-floor apartment every once in a while. The first time it happened, my mom told me that these were the gold standard in getting rid of ants, so I didn’t give a second thought to throwing them in my cart. And surprise, surprise: Mom was right! This year, I stationed them around my porch the second I realized they were returning, and they’ve been few and far between since.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

New Balance Women's 515 V3 Sneakers

“I’ve tested dozens of sneakers in search of a pair that are versatile, look nice, and most importantly, offer support, and these check every box. More so, they were recommended by my podiatrist who insisted that I abandon my old shoes, including my beloved ballet flats and other casual sneakers, that were causing me pain and discomfort. These 515 V3s offer a wide, roomy toe box, ensuring that my toes aren’t squeezed together and out of alignment. They also provide support to prevent my feet from overpronating (or leaning inward), which also causes me pain. Whenever I’m heading out for errands, a walk around the neighborhood, or a travel day, these are the shoes I grab.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

KitchenAid 4.5 qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

“I hated baking for years until my husband and I were gifted this KitchenAid stand mixer as a wedding present. It has significantly sped up my prep process, and now my cake batter is silky and lump-free. Even better, my baking confidence has soared since the mixer allows me to focus on the actual recipe rather than trying to get the hang of mixing, kneading, and whipping.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Flipbelt Zipper Running Belt

“Instead of attempting to run while holding my phone, AirPods case, and keys (or awkwardly tucking them into my tank top), I can secure all my essentials on this belt — which I barely notice while running. Even if you’re not a runner, it’s a convenient hands-free option for other activities, such as walking the dog, too.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer

Greenies Pill Pockets

“My 16-year-old dog Nugget is truly a champion pill-taker — as long as it’s just one pill. But now that he takes multiple medications with each meal, I rely on these pill pockets. I used to stuff two or three pills in each pocket, but recently, I’ve taken to breaking them up, molding the squishy peanut butter-flavored stuff around each individual pill, and scattering them in his food bowl with the rest of his kibble. So that way, it’s like he’s getting more treats, which he very much deserves.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Le Creuset 5.5 Qt. Signature Round Dutch Oven

“I grew up watching my mom cook with the same Le Creuset pieces she still uses today, so I finally took the plunge and treated myself to the brand’s 5-quart Dutch oven. It makes cooking feel effortless and is perfect for everything from hearty stews to one-pot pasta. The even heat distribution and easy-to-clean enamel make it a go-to in my kitchen.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Arm and Hammer Laundry Power Sheets

“I used to cover cleaning products extensively, so I’ve tested my fair share of laundry detergent. While I’m partial to pods, I noticed that sometimes they left behind a residue on my favorite clothes (like expensive activewear). I love these mess-free laundry power sheets because they couldn’t be easier to use, don’t take up much space in my laundry closet, and don’t leave behind residue. They come in a fragrance-free option, too.”  — Erin Johnson, shopping editorial director

Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

“I’ve used many different brow gels over the years, and this one is by far my favorite. I apply one coat to each of my thick brows and the clear formula holds up without feeling heavy. Plus, it doesn’t leave behind flaky residue after hours of wear. I opt for the travel-size tube, which lasts me about six months and doesn’t take up much space in my makeup bag.  — Isabel Garcia, associate shopping editor

Bronax Pillow Slippers

“I needed respite from my cold, hard New York apartment floors, so I snatched up these pillow slides on Prime Day three years ago, and they’re now my go-to house slippers. They’re durable, easy to clean, and most importantly, comfortable — especially for my pain-prone feet. Over 37,000 Amazon shoppers have awarded the slides a perfect rating, and they’re only $20 right now for Prime members.” — Madison Yauger, shopping editor

Levoit Top-Fill Bedroom Humidifier

“My home’s dry air used to leave me with a stuffy nose and itchy skin, but this Levoit humidifier has made a noticeable difference for me. Thanks to its top-fill design, it's easy to use and refill, and it runs quietly all night. The small humidifier fits perfectly on my end table, and the on-off knob is convenient because I don’t have to constantly plug and unplug it.” —  Toni Sutton, shopping writer

AKT Natural Deodorant Balm

“This is the only — and I repeat — the only natural deodorant that doesn’t irritate my skin and actually works. I’ve tried around 10 different natural deodorants from best-selling brands, but this squeeze-tube deodorant balm from AKT is by far my favorite for my underarms. It smells amazing, and it’s lasted me for months. I recommend adding the brand’s tube rolling assistant to your cart, so you can squeeze out every last drop.” — Erin Johnson, shopping editorial director 

Shark PowerDetect Auto-Empty Cordless Vacuum

“This Shark cordless vacuum has been a game-changer for deep cleaning days. It  automatically adjusts its suction when switching from carpets to hard floors to area rugs. My husband, who’s a professional cleaner, says it’s the best vacuum he’s ever used — and I agree. From pet hair to fine dust, it sucks up everything in one pass. Plus, the auto-empty feature means I don’t have to think about emptying it after every use.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream

“I’ve been using this all-purpose best-selling balm for over 12 years. My son’s pediatrician recommended it to clear up stubborn diaper rash, and it worked like “magic.” Since then, it has become my holy grail: I use it to moisturize my lips and dry knuckles, remove make-up, and tame my wild eyebrows. It’s made from only five ingredients, goes on silky smooth, and just a dab goes a long way.  It’s versatile enough to use from cheek to cheek and it’s been a staple in my daily routine ever since that rash cleared up.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer

Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

“I’ve been cooking with a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet for over six years, and I can attest to the nonstick coating’s durability. The pan heats evenly and moves easily from the stovetop to the oven. I’ve used it for everything from cornbread to stir fry: Its versatility reduces the need for extra cookware, making it especially useful in my small kitchen.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Comesoon Stainless Steel Elevated Dog Bowls

“My dog Nugget is a 16-year-old beagle mix with arthritis, poor vision, and a spinal surgery in his medical history. All this adds up to difficulty comfortably eating and drinking from the bowls I’ve kept on the floor his whole life, so I bought this stand to get them closer to his face and eye level. I’m proud of how quickly he was able to adapt to finding his bowls in a different spot!” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

Bissell Featherweight Cordless Vacuum

“We named this lightweight Bissell one of our favorite cordless vacuums of all time. I use it daily because it can quickly suck up any mess. It also converts into a handheld vacuum, which I use to banish pet hair, crumbs, and dirt that collect in the crevices of my couch. Plus, it doesn't take up much space in my apartment. In fact, I barely even notice it when it’s on the charger.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Olive and June Long-Lasting Nail Polish

“I used to go to the salon every two weeks for a gel manicure until that wreaked havoc on my nails, making them thin and brittle. I recently switched to DIY manicures at home, and I credit this polish with helping me achieve salon-level nails. It gives me a chip-free manicure that lasts over a week when I pair it with the brand’s top coat and dry drops. And to my surprise, it looks thick and glossy, just like a gel-manicure. And I get to skip the painful scraping that’s required to remove gel. Now my nails are stronger and look healthier, plus I’ve saved hundreds of dollars by painting them myself at home.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser

“After trying countless face washes over the years, this one from Cetaphil is the only one my skin loves. It's the first step in my morning routine before applying any serums, moisturizers, or eye creams. It lifts away dirt and impurities without stripping my skin, and I love that it contains Vitamins B, E, and glycerin. The fragrance-free formula is ideal for sensitive skin and always leaves my face feeling clean and ready for the day.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Sweese Pasta Bowls

“When I was short on kitchen storage space, I opted for these pasta bowls in lieu of plates and bowls, which can take up a lot of space. These bowl-plate hybrids or “blates” have a wide, flat bottom that resembles a plate and high sides, which keep everything inside, like a bowl. Every time I have friends come over, they rave about these fun and functional pieces, which are ideal for salads, pasta, stews, and snacks, like popcorn. It’s been five years since I’ve purchased them, and they still look like new.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director
