Curious to know what catches a professional shopper's eye? These new editor favorites won our hearts this month.(Amazon, J.Crew)
When you shop for a living, you encounter products that run the gamut of the good, the bad and the ugly. And while we've experienced our fair share of letdowns, it just makes those products that really impress stand out even more. This month, our Yahoo Life team unearthed a treasure trove of hits: One editor was wowed by a TikTok-famous snail mucin serum, while another decked out their home office with a colorful set of LED strip lights. Our faves also included lots of home, clothing, beauty and tech finds we'd recommend checking out for yourself — hope you love them as much as we do!

"My skin always takes a hit as soon as the fall chill hits the air. Once the weather turned, I started using this soothing serum a couple times a week before my nighttime moisturizer (I swear by Skinfix Barrier+ cream) and now my skin is back to its happy, normal state. It was a lifesaver for me during the depths of winter last year and I know it'll be the same this year." —Amanda Garrity, Gift Guides Editor
"The compartments in my old pill organizer weren't big enough to fit my daily vitamins, so I picked up this one from Amazon after reading the thousands of rave reviews. I'm able to fit everything I need — plus a few extras like pain relievers and allergy medicine — and see it all in clear view. It's cute enough to leave out on my counter, but also small enough to throw in my backpack or purse for travel." —Amanda Garrity, Gift Guides Editor
"I love a chunky sneaker — at just five-feet-tall, I'll take all the extra height I can get. That said, I also want supreme comfort, and I'm happy to say these APMA-approved kicks deliver on both counts. The soles feel super cushioned, providing my weary feet with nice landing pads, and there's a good amount of arch support. They're also the perfect on-trend dad sneaker — I got them in white (they come in four chic neutrals), and while I usually destroy white shoes within days, these are surprisingly still clean-looking after several weeks." —Britt Ross, Deals Writer
"Few things bring me the same level of child-like joy as a really great pen, so I really try to find any excuse to use this one: It has a great grip, is the perfect weight and seemingly glides over the page. The real magic is the vial at the top of the pen, which — if you flip a tiny switch — emits one of four included essential oil blends. Each one smells incredible. My personal favorite: Calm, which has notes of wild mint and lavender." —Izabella Zaydenberg, Deputy Editor
"Honestly, since purchasing this cult serum, all I do is talk about it. It's lightweight, gentle enough for all skin types and affordable — it's transformed my skin in weeks (reduced fine lines, evened skin tone), and I've recommended it to everyone I know." —Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor
(Be sure to check out Jennifer's full CosRx Snail Mucin Essence review for all the deets!)
"Frustrated with hair breakage and thinning, I incorporated this new hair-thinning serum from Divi into my everyday routine. It features Copper Tripeptide-1 (for lengthening and thickening; it's also said to stimulate collagen production), rosemary leaf extract (for increased circulation), as well as other detoxifying, moisturizing ingredients (like tea tree oil) and stimulants (such as caffeine). I can already see a difference in my hair. The brand's shampoo and conditioner also contain tea tree oil for a refreshing scent and thorough clean!" —Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Writer
"As I've gotten older, I've started to pay more attention to the ingredients I eat, along with the air I breathe. And Neom is one of my favorite brands for healthy, non-toxic candles that are as luxurious as they are clean. I love the brand's soothing blends (such as Perfect Night's Sleep) for my bedroom (the perfect nightstand companion). Their new scent Cosy Nights is quintessential for fall and has made a home in my living room. They're a bit of a splurge, but they last long and the quality has been worth it to me." —Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Writer
"This kit was created by a dermatologist as a way to address skin care for the cuticle and nails — and is a godsend for bringing dry, brittle digits back to life. I'm also a big fan of her non-acetone, non-smelly nail polish (it restores as it cleans and the pleasant, subtly citrus scent won't bother anyone on a train or plane!) and new No Polish Manicure Set, which includes everything you need — including a genius glass file that effectively smooths out nails so they won't rip and snag — for creating a healthy, glossy look at the office or on the fly." —Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Writer
"Dental issues are pushing me to upgrade my oral care — and I'm all about eco-friendly solutions. This floss is biodegradable (unlike nylon floss), and it's thin enough to slide between my tight teeth yet substantial enough to clear those pesky food traps. It comes in a tiny refillable glass container. Also cool: Refills come to just $5 a pop." —Libby Sentz, Contributing Shopping Editor
"I'm obsessed. These jams are sublimely soft, flattering, snazzy and justifiably pricey. Hey, it's not a splurge if you wear them every single night (and some days), is it? Spoil someone on your gift list (or yourself) with a set." —Libby Sentz, Contributing Shopping Editor
"This has been one of the easiest and best office upgrades I've ever made. I attached these lights to the back of a bookshelf, and now they cast a soft glow over the room. And the $5 on-page coupon didn't hurt — it meant I snagged these for just $10. Now my office has a nightlight, and honestly, it just looks cool." —Patrick Hearn, Deals Writer
"I can't stuff enough cardigans in my closet. My body temperature is constantly changing, so I'm always in a short-sleeve shirt and always taking off and putting on cardigans. This one is lightweight and it's perfect for covering up when I'm chilly, or cramming in a purse or tying around my waist when I don't need it." —Rachel Roszmann, Weekend Editor
"I can't believe I waited so long to get these microfiber hair towels. Instead of getting out of the shower and piling two pounds of towel on top of my head, I wrap my hair up in one of these. Now I can put on makeup and get dressed (they fit through a neck hole!) without straining my neck or my towel falling off my head." —Rachel Roszmann, Weekend Editor
"I just got this elegant black-and-white-striped sweater jacket and I'm obsessed. It effortlessly elevates any outfit I add it to, and it looks great both on its own or when I layer it over a tank or tee. Featuring a cropped boxy silhouette, polished gold buttons and front pockets, this feminine topper has been my go-to for fall." —Rebecca Carhart, Fashion and Beauty Writer
"I've tested a lot of drones in my day, but few left me as giddy as the HoverAir X1. It captures sharp, colorful footage while it follows you up the bike path, makes an orbit around you or zooms out like a fancy Hollywood camera rig. Plus, it's a breeze to use and folds up to pocket-size when you're done. Freaking awesome." —Rick Broida, Executive Commerce Editor, Tech

"I bought these containers for packing lunch and organizing food in my fridge and they did not disappoint. The lids are very secure, so nothing leaks — even when I throw one filled with a dressed salad in my work bag. I also love that they are clear, so I can easily see what's inside." —Rory Halperin, Partnerships and Branded Content Editor
"I've bought and thrown out at least a dozen eye-glass repair kits. They either come with only one head to the screwdriver or are so small they seem more useful as props in dioramas. This one — large in the hand, with several different bits — have saved me a trip (or three) to the optometrist for very-much-needed adjustments to my specs." —Scott Simone, Managing Editor
"Now that I'm at the age where I encounter aches and pains if I so much as sneeze the wrong way, this heating pad has been a godsend. It's the softest one I've ever tried, and covers my entire back rather than a small subsection, providing much-needed relief to multiple areas at once. It's also a boon for those whose rooms tend to get chilly at night, providing some welcome coziness." —Scott Simone, Managing Editor
