Martha Stewart must've done something right in a former life, because the gods seem to have made her age-proof. The former model and forever mogul takes pride in showing off her glowing skin, from the pages of Sports Illustrated to her own Instagram feed. One reason she looks incredible at 83? Decades of facials at Mario Badescu's skin-care salon. In fact, her facialist shared the star's go-tos, and one major step in her routine is the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask, which you can try for only $14 (down from $20), a 30% savings for the Fourth of July.
The best travel outfits are the ones that feel like pajamas but make us look put together, and this casual-chic tee and pants duo fits the bill. The pants have a drawstring waist that you can adjust to your comfort level, and the wide-leg design and cropped length help keep things airy on muggy days. With this markdown, you can grab select colors for just $24 — an all-time low.
Thick pants just won't cut it on those particularly humid days, but these trousers are made of a lightweight cotton-linen blend, making them airy and comfortable. You'll get a custom fit via the adjustable drawstring waist, and, maybe best of all, they have pockets. These No. 1 bestsellers are down to the lowest price I've seen.
When you think of under-eye skin care that's actually effective, are you also envisioning large dollar signs? According to Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, it doesn't cost a lot to give that area a glow-up. "If you're looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you," she says. "RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated ... It's excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it's dermatologist-recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat."
Speaking of price, this is about as low as we've seen it in months.

Why not swap the painful (and tedious) string floss for this oral-hygiene hero, which gently yet effectively uses a stream of water to dislodge anything trapped between your teeth. It was designed to be compact enough to travel with (it's cordless!), and this is as low as we've seen it since October. Plus, it includes four tips so the whole family can use it.
Martha Stewart is a lady who loves facials. In fact, according to her website, she's been getting the same one, at the same place — the Mario Badescu Spa in New York City — for 40 years. So it should come as little surprise that most all of her favorite skin care products are from the high-quality Mario Badescu line. Martha's top picks include this mega-popular collagen mask, which is specially formulated to work for both mature and sensitive skin. The award-winning product is made from collagen and kaolin clay and is meant to tighten, firm and bring moisture to parched faces, necks and even decolleté.
Many celeb-beloved treatments and products can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars — meanwhile, this mask will only set you back $14, a rare discount and its lowest price since Memorial Day. Sweet savings on some major skin care? That's what we'd call a "good thing."
Martha Stewart's facialist, Carmela Barabas, shared why she trusts the collagen mask on the icon's near-perfect skin with Vogue UK: "[It] restores skin texture and skin elasticity." Indeed, the mask is specially made for both mature and sensitive skin, created to tighten, nourish and purify an aging epidermis with the benefits of collagen and kaolin clay. These skin-loving ingredients help draw out oil and impurities from tired pores, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Soothing oatmeal and nutrient-rich red algae extract are also in the mix to help lift up dull, dry complexions.
Using the mask is easy: Just apply a thin layer of the product to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Wait 20 minutes for it to work its magic, then rinse. That's it! You're on your way to cleaner pores and tighter, firmer skin.
Martha Stewart called it, and nearly 2,000 Amazon shoppers agree: Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask isn't just good, it's legendary.
"This tightened my skin and got rid of the bags under my eyes," marveled this fresh-faced shopper. "It takes a week to start seeing results, but it really does work and is 100% worth the money."
"I'm 61, the skin on my face was very dry, even chapped-looking ... I read that this was the product to try, and when I did, wow!" enthused another reviewer. "Great results, after over a month of using it three times a week, my skin is soft, even dewy ... it's really unbelievable. I'm ordering more so I don't run out!"
One fan even used the mask in their ongoing weight-loss journey: "I bought this because as I'm losing weight, I have loose skin on my face. This tightened my skin and got rid of the bags under my eyes," they shared. "It takes a week to start seeing results, but it really does work and is 100% worth the money."
One user noted that their "only negative is if you use it too often your skin does feel drier," but added, "I use it two times a week and love it. ... I see a noticeable improvement."
Opinion on the product's scent also seems to be divided. Some users note that it has a fragrance but doesn't bother them, while others call out the scent as a detractor. "Product has a distinct fishy/unpleasant smell. Makes sense because of its ingredients. But, as someone with a super-sensitive nose and a lifelong dislike of all things fishy, I can tolerate it," wrote a customer. "Seems to be producing results, so I am willing to accept the 20 minutes of occasional bad whiffs..."
