There's a reason why many beauty buffs consider mascara the most important makeup essential. One swipe — or the lack thereof — can completely change your face. As you know, there are approximately a zillion mascaras out there, so when we hear about one with Martha Stewart's expert approval, our lashes perk up. The 83-year-old mogul appeared in a (hilarious) ad with beauty influencer Bretman Rock, singing the praises of Maybelline Falsies Surreal mascara — which just so happens to be marked down to $8 at Amazon right now.
Say cheese! Your journey to brighter teeth just got a lot easier, thanks to this whitening kit. All you do is apply the gel to your teeth via the pen for 30-60 minutes a day, and after five days, you should see a difference (as much as 10 shades whiter). You'll get about 30 treatments out of this pack, and at 60% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen it marked down to. Now that's something to smile about.
Since we lose moisture and elasticity as we age, the humectant hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that binds to water, is key to any quality anti-aging skin care regimen. It can hold a whopping 1,000 times its weight in water.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better hyaluronic acid serum than this award-winning version from Grace & Stella, especially while it's 50% off.
'Tis the season for sniffles and sneezes, and if you need to check a loved one's temperature, this No. 1 bestseller makes it a cinch. Rather than getting germs all over one that goes under the tongue, simply point this one at their forehead and it'll give you a reading in moments. True to its name, it's a great option for fussy babies and kids, but can be used on adults too. At over 45% off, this is the best price we've seen it on sale for aside from Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
"Our school used these during the Covid pandemic," shared a buyer. "We use it not only for ourselves, but we have a two-year-old grandson who can be a handful when trying to take his temperature. This works great with him. Very simple, quick and accurate."
A trusty pair of leggings belongs in every wardrobe, and these Amazon bestsellers are currently down to their lowest price of all time at over 45% off. The soft, stretchy fabric will keep you comfy all day, while the high-waisted design offers support without feeling too constricting.
"Very comfortable and flattering," raved a repeat buyer. "I have two pairs of these amazing, silky-smooth leggings. I need like 10 more pairs because they are all I wear, since they have two pockets that hold quite a bit ... I'm so happy to finally have pants that make me feel and look good while also being able to hold my phone, keys and other items easily!"
I don't know who Leslie is, but she must be a champion of foot comfort, given the fact that an ultra-cushy slipper was named after her. Memory foam insoles provide a soft yet supportive feel, and heel and arch cushioning adds to the plushness. They just might become your go-to house shoes — and there's no reason to have cold feet about this purchase. At nearly 60% off, this is as low as they get!
You love the look of sheer tights, but when the temps plummet, you want to keep those gams more covered up. What to do? Don these sneaky tights, which give off the appearance of transparent stockings, but are actually lined with fleece to keep your legs nice and toasty. Add 'em to your cart while they're close to an all-time low.
This is an Amazon No. 1 bestseller because it's just such a darn good product. Is this the lowest we've ever seen it for? No. But at 40% off, it's still a great deal for something that'll save your clothes when your toiletry bottles stage a mutiny. Even better, it's a space-saver when you've checked into your hotel or Airbnb and find out your only counter space is a pedestal sink.
Instead of digging through a jumbled pouch or scattering your stuff across the back of the toilet, you just unzip, hang it up, and everything's right there nestled in clear, TSA-compliant pouches for you to see. It has multiple compartments to keep things organized and a hook that keeps it hung and out of the way.
Time to ditch the dreaded string: This gentle yet effective gum de-gunker allows you to feel the sparkle every day, thanks to its pressurized water-flossing technology. It's loved by dentists and shoppers alike (more than 100,000 at Amazon) and promises to get your teeth clean and gums flossed — even those hard-to-reach back teeth.
At 40% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen all year; it rarely dips lower outside of Prime Day and Black Friday.
Volume, length, va-va-voom — this little tube has it all.
One Amazon fan raved that it "works better than the $50 mascara I use."
Look, quality makeup can run you $$$$ — especially the products with a celeb's seal of approval. Meanwhile, this magical mascara is already discounted by more than 20%, but if you use the on-page coupon, you can get it for a very wallet-friendly $8.
Would Martha — aka the glammest of the glam — steer you wrong? No. Still, there are a couple of other reasons this opthalmologist-tested Maybelline mascara should be on your radar. Per the brand, it's formulated to extend your lashes by 36%, amp up the volume 10 times and last for 24 hours. One of the secrets behind it? A special special helix brush with fibers of different sizes. The twice-as-long brush extends to reach every lash without clumping, smudging, flaking or smearing.
With more than 3,000 perfect five-star reviews, this mascara is a bona fide hit with Amazon shoppers.
"It's probably one of the best drugstore mascaras I've tried in the last couple of years," explained one five-star reviewer who's "very picky" with their mascara. "It made my eyelashes look so good. It stayed on until I took it off and did not flake or smudge. It was so good."
"Love this mascara," shared another fan. "I'm in my 60s so I have very few lashes but the results are amazing!"
"My fine, pale lashes look fantastic, with lots of length and volume," shared one shopper in their 50s. "I've tried premium brands and like this better. So much value for the money. I hope they never discontinue it, I don't want to try anything else." The same reviewer went on to write: "It doesn't smear or flake all day, yet comes off easily when you wash it off. I've even accidentally slept in it, and it was still there in the morning."
While shoppers are generally big fans, a couple took issue with the packaging.
"Maybe it's because I have small hands, but I hated the tube size," explained this four-star reviewer. "It's bulky and the silver stuff flakes off so I get it on my hands and then touch my face and now I have glitter face. The mascara itself is really nice, though. It goes on smooth and doesn't get clumpy or flake off."
A few other shoppers also noted the size of the wand, with this five-star reviewer noting that the applicator was "larger than any other mascara I have bought."
