A cashmere scent at a cupcake price? We'll take it. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Even for fancifully named skin care products, an indulgent label like "vanilla cashmere" is a lot to live up to. But after shoppers' raves convinced me to try it myself, I can confirm that Eos Shea Better Body Lotion in Vanilla Cashmere is worth the hype. It lasts all day, especially if you have dry skin like I do, and it's on sale for just $9 at Amazon.
Not only will this 2-in-1 tool help free up some space in your bathroom cabinet, it'll be a bit easier on your tresses thanks to its non-pulling titanium plates. Whether you're going for a sleek, straight look or want some wavy curls, you'll be able to select your desired temperature (the LCD display lets you know once it's heated to your liking). Snag it while it's over 75% off.
Guess who's a fan of these lounge-worthy yet chic stretchy pants? Cher! That's right — the superstar posted about them on social media, saying, "I love these."

Your morning hair routine is about to get a lot easier, thanks to this multitasking tool. It dries and styles all at the same time, meaning you won't have to juggle a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other; use it to give yourself a sleek, smooth blowout at home. At just $27, it's far more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap — get it for over 45% off.

Waste not, want not with this Shark Tank-famous gadget. Poke it down into bottles to get every last little bit of lotion, foundation or body wash without cutting anything open.
"I saw this on Shark Tank years ago," said a buyer. "I thought, 'That's a pretty cool tool.' But never bought it until now. I could just kick myself for waiting so long. It gets out the last bit of any product stuck in the bottom of a bottle. All those expensive lotions, makeup and hair products stuck at the bottom, no more wasting money by having to throw it out. It's easy to use and works in most bottles."
If you love scented lotions, you likely already know that stronger fragrances often mean more expensive products. Affordable body lotions tend to have milder scents that don't last, but Eos bucks that trend, making it a steal even at its regular price.
If you're a vanilla fiend, this lotion will be love at first smell. Its classic scent is reminiscent of a frosted cupcake. There are notes of warm whipped vanilla, soft musk and rich caramel, creating a luxurious fragrance that stands on its own. Fortunately, it doesn't smell like the cheap bubble-gum lotion a child might beg for at Christmas.
Also, many body lotions claim to offer all-day hydration, but few deliver. I've tried tons, from Jergens to more expensive brands like Fenty. While some were better than others, they all pale in comparison to this one, which I picked up on a whim during a random Target run. Eos, known for its trendy lip balms, says its lotion provides 24-hour moisture, and it wasn't joking. I applied it to clean skin around 8 a.m., and when I took a shower at 7 p.m., my skin was still surprisingly soft and scented.
Also helping set it apart is the moisturizing combination of shea oil and shea butter. It's great for soothing dry skin, plus it's dermatologist-recommended and hypoallergenic.
With over 25,000 five-star reviews, Eos' Vanilla Cashmere is a hit. What most shoppers seem to love most, though, is that it feels and smells more expensive than luxury body products.
"I'm picky about lotions and this one checks all the marks," one impressed shopper said. "I usually have to go unscented cause scented ones burn or irritate. This one doesn't! As soon as you put this on, it soaks in beautifully and instantly makes your skin velvety soft and not sticky. ... I usually use Bum Bum and it's expensive, the smell is great but that can leave a sticky residue on me and my hands. This does not!"
Another shopper with sensitive skin said she used this bestselling lotion at her daughter's place because she forgot to pack one for her trip. "I was amazed at how smoothly it went on, and my skin didn't feel greasy or slimy. The fragrance was amazing and it reminded me of much more expensive fragranced lotions. ... Every time I put it on, I feel like I'm at the beach!"
Concerned that the scent may be too sweet? A reviewer with similar concerns took the plunge and reported back: "The scent is heaven. Not too sweet and very light, but it lasts a long time. The shea butter is absorbed quickly and makes my skin feel soft and moist for hours. I use it all over my body because at this price, I can afford to."
One shopper had issues with the packaging — one that I wholeheartedly agree with: "I wish there was an easier way to get the last few days of lotion out of the bottom of the container," the reviewer noted. "[I] have to use an Exacto knife."
"Not only does it smell decadent, it feels so rich going on," a final buyer said. "I'm in love. I wish it came in a bigger size, though."
