I can't believe how much money we are saving." —Pat "Affordable, easy to use, saves some cash and space in the recycling bin. The extra flavor options and additional CO2 canisters are fairly priced, and you get quite a bit of use out of each one." —g squared Price: $99.99 (typically $184) — and shop all the SodaStream deals here Promising reviews: "I saw on TikTok and ordered immediately. I am really picky with leggings as I refuse to buy them unless the back seam is in a V shape, which makes the glutes look better. These are amazing, true to size, I get tons of compliments, buttery soft material, perfect for the gym or just day to day wear." —K. Mcintyre "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big, baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. But the sweats are not as cute and don’t give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my waist, but not in a way that’s uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." —Sarah Price: $14.99 (typically $29.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XXL, three inseam lengths, and 23 colors) — and shop all the Sunzel deals here Promising review: "I have seen the packing cubes all over TikTok and thought I would give it a try. I packed 10 days of outfits in two medium pouches. I took it all out and packed my clothes in my suitcase alone. The cubes are so much better. I used the two medium and my boyfriend used the large and small. We got 10 days of clothes each — in one carry on suitcase. They even allowed for enough room to put two pairs of Sandler and a pair of slides. I will never travel without these cubes again." —Amazon Customer Price: $25.46+ (originally $39.99; available in 29 colors) — and check out other Bagsmart deals here! Promising review: "Bought this set for a trip to Cancun. It held up so good! You can see it's barely even scuffed at all. Zipper held up great; the inside isn't ripped at all like my last set. It's all still in great condition. I absolutely hate when reviews for luggage are written before taking it anywhere because that is when they fail...after the trip, on the flight. All of these pictures are from after my trip. I'm super happy with this set." —Tina Price: $109.99+ (originally $179; this is a Prime-exclusive deal — non-Prime members can get it for $129.99 — available in 15 other colors at various discounts) and see more Coolife deals here. Promising review: "This camera is AMAZING. The night quality is stunning. You wouldn't even be able to tell what time of night it is unless you go back and look at the time stamp on the footage. The AI detection is amazing, it detects people and cars. I thankfully dont get random notifications of bugs flying past my camera oranimals, just people and cars & it tells me "vehicle detected" theres also a super cool feature where you can speak through the camera and of course hear audio back. I was so proud of myself for setting this up by myself, it was so simple and easy to do. Again. This product works really well. It is a decent size, I have it set up to where its not obvious what it is unless you know its a camera, it blends in pretty well against the brick on the outside of my house. Definitely money well spent & i have been considering buying another one to place on the other side of my home. It stores a decent amount of camera recordings, but that is also dependent on your app settings/ membership." —Amazoncustomerh Price: $104.99 (originally $299.99) — and check out other Blink deals here! Promising review: "We bought this one in the hopes of enough space for nieces and nephew to play too. Kid ages ranged from about 16 months to 6 and all 4 kids had a blast. The youngest sat in the lower basin to cool off while the older kids played with the rest. Was definitely worth it. We had countless hours of fun this summer." —Holly Lane Promising review: "I LOVE these mini dresses (I have four thus far). They have generous pockets so that's a win straight out the gate. I also love the fact that they have XS in this dress. I see so many cute dresses on Amazon, but the smallest size offered is a small. These dresses work for any age so don't shy away from it if you are a more "mature" lady like myself. They are soft, comfortable and perfect for the hot summers here in Georgia. Great color options. Washes well. Priced well. So I say - BUY!" —Jen Price: $19.97 (originally $31.98, available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 28 colors) Promising review: "I LOVE this mattress pad. I let it breathe as directed. Living in Florida, my bed is always hot at night. I have been using this for a week, and I can feel the coolness of this mattress pad anytime I wake up in the night. It is very comfortable, also, adding a pillow to my bed. There is also a lot of space for any depth of mattress. I have a regular-width mattress, and I can easily tell a pillow top would be covered just as well. Well worth the purchase!" —Julie Santello Price: $23.99+ (originally $35.98; available in sizes twin–California king and three colors) Promising review: "A must for anyone who has allergies in my personal opinion. My primary spaces: Kitchen, living room, and dining room area are purified with the bigger model and it works pretty hard giving dust/pollen/etc. I bought the smaller model for my primary bedroom which also extends to a closet and bathroom. It showed 84% air quality which really caught me off guard. After 24 hours it changed to 100% and I feel the difference in my nose and lungs. A must for anyone! I would say it can be a little loud at night if you set it for anything between 2 to 5. Now it's set for 1 and you barely hear it." —KP Price: $99.99+ (originally $159.99+; available in eight colors) — and check out other Shark deals here! Promising review: "I really enjoyed using the Thermacell insect repeller in my yard this spring. I find the device to be very effective, and each pad usually lasts long enough for most evenings we spend outside. I also like that it has minimal smell and doesn't require spraying anything or having more heat. It's still pretty cost-effective and worth the price. Overall, I would highly recommend this for insect control." —Krash Price: $18+ (originally $26.99; available in five colors and in a two-pack) — and check out other Thermacell deals here!

I splurged on one of these and a lip mask, just to see what all the hype is about and...it's valid. Very valid. Ridiculously valid. This lip gloss goes on thick like a luxe gloss, but smooth like an oil. Lots of slip on the lip and absolutely zero stickiness. It also lasts for hours where most lip gloss is gone with one sip of water. It is, seriously, the best lip gloss that I've ever used." —DarlingBlueEyes Price: $13.30+ (originally $19; available in 11 scents) Promising review: "Best shaker cup I’ve ever had. I’ve had it for almost a year now, and it works perfectly. Blends so smoothly and easily. I was looking for a reliable, strong blender cup for years, going through so many cups, and I finally found it here. It’s a blessing. It is the most powerful cup I’ve found and is definitely worth the extra money compared to others." —DaQuarrius McGuire Price: $69.95 (originally $99.99; six colors are on sale) — and shop all the Ninja deals here Promising review: "Wonderful bedtime fan or anytime really. I had been looking for a quality tower fan where the display actually turned off with some sort of sleep mode, and this works perfectly for that. The power is fantastic for the price, and it's relatively quiet even on its highest setting. My favorite part of the sleep mode, however, is that it will auto-adjust the fan speed based on the temperature. Temp goes down, fan speed drops with it, goes up, it goes back up. No more waking up with a fan blasting on high, but instead I will wake up with it at least 2-3 levels lower than where I went to sleep. Makes for a much gentler wake-up. Setup is a breeze as well, just take it out of the case, clip the base plates together, and stand it up. Remote is easy to use even in the dark, no LED on it, but buttons are pronounced enough and few enough, it's pretty easy to tell which you need in the middle of the night. The fan itself also includes a storage for the remote in the back, so you won't lose it." —Alan Price: $54.95 (originally $74.99; deal available for the 36-inch white fan) — and check out all the Levoit deals here. Promising review: "Wow, this fan is amazing! It's super quiet and comes with all the bells and whistles for this little mighty giant. It comes with a remote, and it oscillates, too. I get hot flashes easily now, and this sits next to my bed. I appreciate the multi-speed settings!" —meekameeks Price: $39.99+ (originally $49.99; available in three colors; the deal is on the white color) — and shop all the Levoit deals here Promising review: "This is gonna save me so much money! I would stop every day to get an iced latte from Starbucks and now I just make them at home! It’s fresh and delicious and I can add as much espresso as I want to make it as strong as I want. I’m recommending this to all of my friends already and I’ve only had it for two days. I got the value bundle with two sleeves of coffee and the tumbler, which is so awesome!" —Ashley Gonzales Price: $99+ (originally $129; available in six colors) — and check out toher Nespresso deals here! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says about it: "I use this exfoliator a few times a week (I follow a skin cycling routine) and I'm in loooove. The formula isn't too hard with my sensitive skin (and I've been known to overreact to other anti-acne products with salicylic acid in them), but it helps keep my skin soft, clear, and glowy. It's the only product that has *ever* kept the pores on my nose noncongested. Put away the harsh blackhead strips and try this instead!" Promising review: "Best purchase ever! I bought this item when I ran out of the very expensive toner I generally use. Boy, have I been wasting money. This lotion is magnificent!!! I decided to use it as a toner, and I am so happy I made that decision. This is the best toner I have ever used! It leaves my skin smooth, looking radiant, and youthful. And although I rarely ever have problems with my skin; with this product, I never will have problems. Run, don't walk to get this item." —Michel-Ange Chevry Promising review: "This stuff should be called a miracle in a bottle. When I use it on my (pretty dry) skin, it transforms it from congested, irritated, and bright red to calm, clear, and glowing overnight. Most of the people reviewing this are using it incorrectly. It's an acid exfoliator. That means you should use it once a week, twice at the most (if your skin is oily and needs a lot of work). Also, it should never be used during the daytime. BHA, or salicylic acid, interacts terribly with the sun. If you absolutely must put it on in the morning, follow it up with heavy SPF, but I wouldn't do it. This stuff is like anything else — it only works if you know how to do it properly." —Audrey Brock Price: $25.90 (originally $37) — and shop all the Paula's Choice deals here, they're celebrating their anniversary with 30% off! Promising review: "This little snack floaty works so well! The cup holders are deep enough to hold the cups well and not tip over. We have used the center well for extra drinks with ice and bowls of dry snacks. This little gem is sturdy and stays afloat, and it's sooo cute! Plus, the rainbow on top allows us to strap the float to the edge of our above-ground pool with a bungee cord." —jess Promising review: "As someone with two dogs and a cat, this vacuum keeps up with them. If you know anything about German shepherds, then you know they shed 😅 I vacuum every three to four days and needed a heavy-duty vacuum that could also be used on hardwood floors. This vacuum does a phenomenal job of collecting all the pet hair." —Angelica Price: $149.98 (originally $199.99 — and shop the rest of Bissell's early Prime Day deals here) Promising review: "Glow up in a tube. My new daily skin tint. I love the natural finish. Leans dewy. The consistency is on the thin/watery side, but the coverage is surprisingly moderate for a skin tint. It nicely blurs imperfections without making you feel like you’re wearing much. No smell." —Buna Marie Price: $28.50 (originally $38; available in 14 shades) Promising reviews: "This swing is so worth it! I recently bought my first house and bought this for my nieces/nephews. Not only do the kiddos love it, but so do we adults!!! I’m about 130 pounds and have sat on it with my nieces and swung with no problem. My fiancé and dad have both sat on it as well. It’s very sturdy. Easy to put together. It will keep your household entertained anytime you go outside." —Angelina "Fun for grownups, too! We purchased this for our little grandchildren to enjoy and then discovered that with the high load capacity, we could swing with them, too! The product is sturdy, easy to assemble, hang, and adjust the lengths of the ropes. It’s a great addition to our front yard and immediately became a neighborhood kid magnet, too! It’s only been up for a couple of weeks, but it has enjoyed hours of playtime." —Richard S Price: $36.99 (originally $46.99; available in three styles) Promising review: "My husband loves these T-shirts. I have ordered several different colors. They hold well with no shrinkage. He's tough on clothes, so I keep coming back to Carhartt. They are a little expensive, but they do last." —Punky * All The Best Early Prime Day Deals At Amazon * Early Prime Day Deals On Products That Thousands Of Reviewers Swear By * TikTok Products That Are Worth The Hype And *Already* On Sale For Prime Day * Early Prime Day Deals For Anyone Looking To Upgrade Their Home * Extremely Useful Things To Buy From Amazon's Early Prime Day Deals BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
