As we age, our skin changes — it's a fact of life. Wrinkles and lines appear, sun spots set in and many of us begin to struggle with issues like rosacea. We can't turn back the hands of time, but we can help them tick a little slower with the right products, like Laura Geller New York Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color-Correcting Powder Foundation. It has thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, and Vanna White, 68, who's collaborated with the brand numerous times, calls it one of her favorite products. Want to give it a try? Do it now while it's on sale starting at $19.
If your denim collection could use a refresh, these No. 1 bestselling high-rise tapered jeans belong in your wardrobe. Not only are they flattering, with their leg-lengthening high waist, reviewers also say they're super comfortable — and the tapered design will highlight all of your cute fall boots! $12 for a pair of jeans is practically unheard of these days, with many quality pairs costing upward of $100. These cost less than the price of a movie ticket, and we've yet to see them on sale for less all year.
"Always comfortable. Always look good," asserted one stylish shopper. "Many times I have [had] to wear [them] day through overnight — sometimes curled up on a two-seater chair to catch a few Zzzs, and never had that stiff-jean, circulation-cutoff, heavy-dye numbing feeling. These have become my go-to jeans."
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.
Just one of these brass beauties looks like it would cost more than this entire set, which recently would have set you back over $100. Included are a stunning round watch, chain bracelet, enameled bangle and crystal-laden bangle.
You can stack 'em or wear 'em individually — either way, you'll be donning some next-level arm candy. This is just about the lowest price we've seen this set marked down to (over 70% off).
Garrity says, "I know, I know, gloves aren't exactly the most novel gift idea, but they're one of those things that we all need to refresh every couple of winters. These fleece-lined favorites are just as practical as they are pretty: One Amazon shopper raved that 'the fur cuff is perfect and looks expensive,' while another mentioned that they 'kept my hands warm during my trip to the northeast and in cold weather.' The best of both worlds, eh?"
That 66% discount isn't too shabby, either...

If you came of age pre-Y2K, you know Revlon's Rum Raisin lippie. The iconic color is back, baby, and this moisture-rich balm formula is much better suited to tired, dry lips with nourishing hyaluronic acid, aloe and even rose quartz.
This iconic bronzing powder, specifically designed for mature skin, contains color-correcting pigments to help even out your skin while leaving you looking natural, not like you've slathered on a ton of product. The formula self-adjusts to match your skin tone, so you don't have to worry about it being too warm or too cool as long as you select your closest shade.
The product itself is actually, truly baked: The pigments are heated on terracotta tiles for 24 hours, giving them a unique consistency that offers the convenience of a powder with the coverage of a cream. They fill in pores and create a smooth finish but won't settle into fine lines.
The popular foundation is on mega sale starting at just $19 with the on-page coupon — that's nearly half off. (FYI: Prices vary based on the shade you choose.) You can also score travel-sized versions during this sale for on-the-go touchups. We suggest snapping both up now while sales last.
Anyone with an uneven complexion — redness, under-eye circles, sun damage and more — understands that finding the right foundation can be challenging. This No. 1 bestselling powder contains multi-shade color-correcting pigments to help even out unbalanced skin while leaving you looking natural, not like you've slathered on a ton of product. The formula self-adjusts to match your skin tone, so you don't have to worry about it being too warm or too cool as long as you select your closest shade.
And yes, this product is literally baked: The colored pigments are baked on terracotta tiles for 24 hours, giving them a unique consistency that offers the ease of powder and coverage of a cream. This allows it to fill in pores and create a smoother base without settling into fine lines and wrinkles, fans say. The powder is designed to remain lightweight and noncakey, with a demi-matte finish that helps you keep your glow while evening out your skin tone.
The powder also includes antioxidants like Centella Asiatica and white tea extract to keep skin hydrated. The latter has anti-inflammatory and protective properties to help your skin stay looking its best.
More than 28,000 Amazon shoppers have given the Baked Balance-n-Brighten powder a flawless five-star rating, with many highlighting its ease of application and natural look. Plus, more than 20,000 units have been bought in the last month.
"I'm almost 60, female, some wrinkles and a fair amount of discoloration, red spots, and sun damage, especially on cheeks," confessed one reviewer. "Very good coverage on bare skin (moisturizer only), practically perfect over an inexpensive primer. Almost all my flaws disappeared, even without concealer. Did not settle in wrinkles, either. I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! ... Or, at least, not bad for an old broad."
Another user shared shared, "I'm 59 years old. I've tried probably all makeup on the market over the years that promises everything. ... This product lasts all day, which is so wonderful. Feels great, looks natural, helps hide minor flaws/spots. This is unlike any powder foundation I've ever bought at all price levels."
Even shoppers with rosacea noticed a difference. "I started showing signs of rosacea after turning 60, and didn't know what to do, or how to hide it," said one. "This 'color correcting' foundation is truly amazing! ... In just a couple of minutes, I was able to cover my blotchy skin. I highly recommend Laura Geller makeup to anyone over 50. The benefits of color-correcting makeup can't be overstated."
Some shoppers said it took them a couple of tries to find the right shade to match their skin tone. "I initially had some difficulty with the colors of the product matching my skin tone … admittedly, I tried a couple," wrote one user. Added a second customer: "I had first ordered the medium color and had to return. It was too dark for my complexion and looked blotchy."
Another wished for a little more staying power: "The only dislike I have is that it does seem to wear off quicker than I would like so you do need to top up."
