Best Protein Powder Dealamazon.com

Best Protein Powder Deal

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder ($32, originally $50)

People take this powdered collagen supplement to help their hair, skin, and nails look healthier, and to give their joints and muscles a little extra love. It's especially great if you're doing strength training since it can help support muscle growth, too. Read our full Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder review to learn more.

Editor Quote: "One of my favorite things about the collagen peptides powder was that it added a hearty dose of protein to anything I ate or drank throughout the day (nearly 20 grams of protein per serving). Beyond all the other health benefits, it transformed something as simple as a black coffee or low-protein soup into something much more satiating, keeping me full for longer." — Christina Stiehl, former senior fitness editor

Best Blow Dryer Brush DealPS Photography | Renee Rodriguez

Best Blow Dryer Brush Deal

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus Blow-Dryer Brush ($28, originally $70)

This blow dryer brush is one of the most famous under-$100 options on the market. If you love how your hair looks after a salon blowout, this tool makes it easy to recreate that same bouncy finish at home. There are a few versions available, but this one is highly rated by one of our editors, who says it leaves her hair "smooth and shiny." Read her full breakdown in her Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus Blow-Dryer Brush review.

Editor Quote: "The biggest difference I noticed between this brush and others I've used in the past is how well my hairstyle stayed put. Although I think I've pretty much mastered the '90s blowout, I've often found that the look can fall throughout the day if I don't use a ton of hairspray or texture spray. I didn't use either after the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer, and my flipped-in ends lasted even after a night of sleeping on them." — Renee Rodriguez, beauty staff writer and social producer

Best Whitening Strips DealPS Photography | Marisa Petrarca

Best Whitening Strips Deal

Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects ($30, originally $46)

One of our editors calls herself a procrastinator, but that didn't stop her from seeing teeth-whitening results just days before her wedding, thanks to this beloved Crest formula. She's one of thousands who've seen a noticeably brighter smile fast. Read her Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects review for all the details.

Editor Quote: "After just four treatments, the difference is already remarkable. The "before" image on the left and the "after" image on the right clearly shows the noticeable change. And I've barely made a dent in the box with plenty of treatments left." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor

Best Necklace DealPS Photography | Marisa Petrarca

Best Necklace Deal

Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace ($49, originally $70)

It's rare to see this necklace marked down by $20. It's one of Amazon's top-selling pieces of jewelry and currently ranks as the second most popular necklace on the site. While it's absolutely worth treating yourself, it also makes a thoughtful gift. It comes in nearly every birthstone, with your choice of a gold or silver chain, and arrives in a gift-ready box. See it for yourself in our Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace review.

Editor Quote: "I've found that it looks good with everything. I've worn it with casual everyday attire like a long-sleeve turtleneck or a T-shirt, and dressier ensembles as well." — MP

Best Kids Camera DealPS Photography | Angela Elias

Best Kids Camera Deal

Goopow Kids Camera Toy ($23, originally $37)

Gift your little ones everything they need to snap photos and videos just like you do on your smartphone. It works like a real grown-up camera but with a playful twist, and it's surprisingly durable. Whether you pick it up before a family vacation or just want to help them capture summer memories, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a hit. Learn more about it in our Goopow Kids Camera Toy review, tested by a PS editor and her kids, to see why it's worth the hype.

Editor Quote: "The camera comes in several colors and shapes — I chose the blue, cat-themed camera for my animal-loving kiddo. Aside from being cheap and cute, it's also surprisingly versatile. In addition to being able to take pictures, it has a selfie function, video capability, funny frames, and even games. It also comes with a neck strap, a 32GB card, and a USB cord for recharging. It's lightweight and easy to throw in a backpack for a trip to the park or zoo and car rides." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor

Best Foundation DealPS Photography | Angela Elias

Best Foundation Deal

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream ($28, originally $47)

Once you try this foundation, it's hard to go back. Beauty lovers rave about its full-coverage finish that still looks like real skin and wears like a dream from morning to night. The formula is also loaded with great ingredients, including SPF 50, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich vitamin E. Check out our IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream review to see the before-and-after photos from one of our contributing editors.

Editor Quote: "While other full-coverage foundations I've tried in the past have emphasized my dry skin, making dry patches appear flaky or scaly, my skin looks and feels more nourished with this one. It doesn't leave a caked-on finish, clog my pores, or feel too heavy. I can wear it on a hot day or during low-intensity workouts without it melting off or irritating my skin. I've found that a little goes a long way, especially when I apply it after my moisturizer, but it's also buildable and easy to reapply if I want to freshen up my makeup." — AE

Best Owala Dealamazon.com

Best Owala Deal

Owala Stainless Steel Triple Layer Insulated Travel Tumbler ($28, originally $40)

In the never-ending battle for It-tumbler status, Owala is the reigning champ. Fans say it keeps drinks cold all day, doesn't leak a drop, and holds 40 ounces, so constant refills aren't a thing. One of our former editors even compared it to the Stanley version, if you're debating which one deserves a spot in your cart. Read her Owala Tumbler vs. Stanley Tumbler review for more.

Editor Quote: "Despite its heavier frame, I've actually found that the Owala cup is much easier to hold thanks to the convenient design of its handle. Unlike Stanley's model, the Owala Tumbler has a squishy contoured spot on the top of the handle that's perfect for thumb placement." — Kyley Warren, former shopping assistant editor

Best Streaming Stick Dealamazon.com

Best Streaming Stick Deal

Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($35, originally $50)

A Roku media streamer is one of those small-but-mighty devices that has a ton of uses. You can use it to upgrade your smart TV's app selection, pack it for vacation so you're never without your favorite shows, or even swap it in for cable if you're ready to go all-in on subscription-based streaming like Netflix, Hulu, or Sling. For more details, check out our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review.

Editor Quote: "The picture on the Roku is so clear — that was my first reaction when I turned on a show. Everything also pops up quickly, so you're not waiting for shows and movies to upload. The little remote is very intuitive; basically, there was no adjustment period. I could navigate everything effortlessly right away." — Macy Cate Williams, former shopping content director

Best Sunscreen DealPS Photography | Jessica Harrington

Best Sunscreen Deal

Supergoop Glow Screen SPF 40 ($38, originally $48)

If you haven't found a face sunscreen that you actually look forward to applying, this might be the one that changes everything. It's especially great for makeup wearers — or anyone who loves a good glow — because it doubles as a radiant, makeup-gripping primer. It even has our senior beauty editor's stamp of approval, and her skin in the accompanying photo says it all. Read more about it in our Supergoop Glow Screen SPF 40 review.

Editor Quote: "My complexion had an out-of-this-world radiance to it that was better than my wildest dreams. Seriously, I layer on countless skincare products in the hopes of achieving this dewy, lit-from-within glow." — Jessica Harrington, senior beauty editor

Best Body Cream Dealamazon.com

Best Body Cream Deal

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($38, originally $48)

You're looking at the body cream equivalent of candy. The scent is warm and sweet, with notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla. But it's not just about the fragrance: the formula is packed with caffeine-rich guaraná to help firm the skin, plus antioxidant-rich açaí and Brazil nut oils to nourish and protect. A touch of mica adds a radiant sheen that pairs perfectly with sundresses all summer long.

Best Shower Oil DealPS Photography | Natasha Marsh

Best Shower Oil Deal

L'Occitane Cleansing & Softening Almond Shower Oil ($38, originally $48)

This certainly isn't your average body wash. Unlike most on the market, it transforms from an oil into a milky lather that leaves skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and hydrated. That, combined with its vanilla-scented sweet almond oil, makes for a formula you'll crave using daily. Oh, and if you already own and love it, the brand's marked down the price of its refill size ($34, originally $43), too.

Find out more about why you should treat yourself to a bottle in our L'Occitane Cleansing & Softening Almond Shower Oil review.

Editor Quote: "Unlike traditional body washes, this shower oil foams to clean off the day, producing a sweet (and not super overpowering) fragrance that leaves my skin the smoothest it's ever been from a shower wash. Before I even step out of the shower I notice that my skin looks and feels more hydrated.'" — Natasha Marsh, GMV writer

Best Bluetooth Adapter Dealamazon.com

Best Bluetooth Adapter Deal

Twelve South AirFly Pro ($39, originally $55)

If you're a frequent traveler, you won't regret picking up this Bluetooth adapter. You just plug it into the headphone jack on the plane, and you can connect your AirPods, over-ear headphones, or whatever Bluetooth pair you love. Even better, two people can listen at once — perfect for watching the same movie mid-flight. Bonus: it works with most gym equipment, too.

Best Hair Straightener Comb DealPS Photography | Renee Rodriguez

Best Hair Straightener Comb Deal

Tymo Ring Hair Straightener Brush ($40, originally $60)

Unlike traditional flat irons that use heated plates to smooth your hair, this TikTok-viral straightening brush relies on heated bristles. Shoppers say it cuts down styling time and makes it easier to get close to the roots. Just brush through your hair from top to bottom in sections, and you're good to go. Read our full Tymo Ring Hair Straightener Brush review for more.

Editor Quote: "Although I used this for the first time on day-three hair when my hair had already been mostly straight, I've also tested it out after air-drying my hair when my hair has been a frizzy, unruly mess. It worked perfectly for taming all of my flyaways and wavy pieces, and it did it faster than my flat iron ever could." — RR

Best Levi's Jeans Dealamazon.com

Best Levi's Jeans Deal

Levi's Classic Straight Jeans ($40, originally $60)

Best Nursing Pillow Deal

Best Lash Serum DealPS Photography | Britt Stephens

Best Lash Serum Deal

Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum ($48, originally $68)

I love a good lash moment, whether it's falsies, extensions, or whatever trick you swear by for extra length. But if you're looking to level up your natural lashes, a hardworking lash serum like this one might just be your new secret weapon. PS's Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum review has lived on our site for years, and its staying power says a lot about just how beloved it really is.

Editor Quote: "Not only are my lashes 10 times longer than they used to be (that's a rough mathematical estimate), but they're also much fuller. Even without mascara (as evidenced in these photos), I feel prettier and more feminine — and I'd be a total liar if I said I didn't love all the compliments and straight-up accusations of, 'But your lashes are fake, right?'" — Britt Stephens, former content director

Best Cleansing Balm DealPS Photography | Marisa Petrarca

Best Cleansing Balm Deal

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm ($48, originally $69)

Not all luxury beauty products feel luxurious, but that's definitely not the case with this popular cleansing balm. Everything about it delivers a high-end experience, from its rich, buttery texture that melts away makeup in seconds to its calming, herbal scent that turns your nighttime routine into a mini spa moment. Using it genuinely feels special. Read one of our editors wax poetic about it in our Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm review.

Editor Quote: "A little goes a long way (my last tub lasted me for nearly half a year, though I used it exclusively on days when I wore makeup). Another thing worth noting is the scent: a blend of essential oils, which gives it a calming, spa-like smell. The latter is just one of the many reasons I'm obsessed." — MP
