If warmer weather means something a little different for you — namely, the return of boob sweat and chafing — the Bali One Smooth U Ultra Light Bra is worth a look, and it's heating up the Amazon charts. This dependable top-seller has earned a pile of five-star reviews from relieved shoppers who can venture out in spring and summer's swampiest weather without feeling drenched, constricted and uncomfortable. Right now, you can snap one up for up to 60% off, making this bra a super-reasonable $20 a pop in certain sizes and colors.
If you're tired of frequent shaving or the nonstop battle with stubble but don't want to invest hundreds in pricey hair removal treatments at a salon, XSoul's easy-to-use permanent follicle-banishing device just might be for you.
"Smooth, painless, and permanent hair removal at home," raves one of thousands of five-star reviewers. "The treatments are surprisingly painless, even on sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms. After a few uses, I started noticing a real reduction in hair growth, especially on my legs and arms. If you're looking for a convenient and cost-effective way to tackle unwanted hair, this IPL device is a solid investment."
You can try it for yourself for just $70 — 30% off!
"I've tried a lot of eye creams," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "And, for my money, CeraVe makes the best drugstore depuffing/under-eye brightening treatment currently on the market. Not only does it feel good on your skin (absorbs quickly, no gross pilling), it's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Olivia Wilde also loves it, along with thousands of reviewers, who say it's like Botox in a cream. I'm not sure about that claim, but I do know this is a quality skin care staple at a price everyone can afford."
Speaking of which, this is close to as low as I've seen it all year (it's 40% off!).
This full-coverage cooling bra has convertible straps and comes in 10 colors. Bring on those racerback tank tops!
You can't go wrong with a $20 bra — it's nearly 60% off in some colors and sizes. This is on par with the lowest price on the web at the moment, but we don't expect the sale price to stick around much longer. Cooling clothing items will be in higher demand as the temps continue climbing into summer.
Five-star reviewers say this Bali bra has nothing short of magical powers. "You can hardly feel that you have a bra on in hot, humid weather. Bought two more after wearing the first one!" wrote a fan. It helps that the cooling fabric is thin, keeping skin from getting too stuffy. It's also seamless, which goes a long way toward preventing warm-weather chafing.
Another major draw of the Bali One Smooth U Ultra Light Bra: You can wear it under all those thin tees and tanks without the whole world getting a clear view of your undergarments. "It's very smooth with no lace detail or noticeable edges, so it doesn’t show underneath even my slinky-feeling T-shirts," a fan revealed.
Nearly 24,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Bali One Smooth U Ultra Light Bra a five-star rating, with many highlighting the comfort factor and coverage.
One shopper gave this red-hot cooling bra a "10/10" and even proclaimed that it "conceals back fat." Plenty of others agree — this is a no-brainer for your warm-weather wardrobe.
"Fits so nice and comfortably," wrote a devotee. "Makes my boobs appear smaller and offers support. Minimal spillage for once! Reduced back fat! Bonus!"
Another wearer agreed: "Tried several other brands for 'minimizer' or 'smoother' type bras. Followed measurement guidelines for size. This is the only one that fits well and separates things for larger busts. Other brands just squished things together. This bra is very soft and comfortable, and it has a very thin layer of material that helps hide the nips."
"Comfortable at last," said a third reviewer. "It fits like a dream. No pinching, chafing, or poking."
"This bra is the most comfortable bra I have worn in a long time," marveled another mega-fan. "I just ordered two more in different colors. I wore it to work (dental assistant) and I didn’t have to pull it down or adjust it once. Very lightweight and very thin padding."
A few wearers noted that optimal sizing may be slightly different from the guide provided by the brand. One reviewer recommended sizing down: "Adjusted straps all the way down, and the bra was still clearly a cup size too big. It was nice and stretchy, and definitely as breathable as advertised ... I will say there's a super-cheap plastic gem thing hanging from the center that's totally unnecessary and doesn't add to the style. Clip that off, and the peek of mesh at the top of the cup keeps this bra pretty and classy!"
Another wearer added that the straps may leave a little to be desired. "Fits well, comfortable. Just wish the straps cinched just a bit more as they’re a little loose on me," they wrote. This was a repeated critique, so if you need to add a little tension to the straps, grab one of these bra strap clip sets to tighten them — they'll even transform your bra into a halter style too!
