I’m a Shopping Editor and These Under-$50 Prime Day Deals Are Obvious Steals

Got2b Glued Brow & Edge Gel ($6, originally $7)

While there are tons of eyebrow trends dominating beauty, you can never go wrong with a good gel. This one from Got2b promises hold for up to 72 hours without flaking on your edges. It’s so good that even Kylie Jenner uses it. One of our editors also tried it on her thick brows and can’t stop using it, which she details more in our Got2b Glued Brow & Edge Gel review.

Editor Quote: “What I love most about this gel is that’s easy to control, while keeping your brows in place. I’d usually have to dip my old brow gel in its tube multiple times to get my desired look, and with this gel, I got the perfect, tamed thick brows with just one use. I used it during a recent trip to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, and my brows stayed in place for hours, even in 109 degrees. And if it can survive that level of heat, I know my brows are in good hands.” — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Maybelline Lash Sensational Firework Washable Mascara ($10, originally $15)

Only Maybelline can create a mascara that can be worn for up to 24 hours. Its gel-based formula is infused with pro-vitamin B5 to nourish the lashes and is available in three shades: Very, Brownish, and Blackest. It also comes with a custom brush that features different lengths of bristles to provide that 360-degree lash effect, leaving one editor with the most natural-looking faux lashes. You can read more about her experience in her Maybelline Lash Sensational Firework Washable Mascara review.

Editor Quote: “Normally, I do at least three coats before seeing satisfying results, and Maybelline’s formula instantly elevated my lashes, giving me that natural faux-lash look. I was also pleased with its staying power after wearing it for seven hours (it didn’t clump or get hard over time). And even though the mascara is waterproof, I didn’t get those raccoon eyes when taking it off with my makeup wipes and cleanser at the end of the day.” — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Zulay Milk Frother ($10, originally $18)

If you live for a foamy beverage, you’ll wonder why you haven’t purchased this inexpensive handheld milk frother yet. It’s Amazon’s bestselling milk frother for its ability to whip up creamy froth in seconds, even with plant-based milks. It’s also incredibly useful for blending everything from matcha to protein powder drinks. This comes with a little metal stand, so it’s very easy to store. Read about one editor’s experience and see demonstration videos in this Zulay Milk Frother review.

Editor Quote: “I had a different handheld milk frother before this, and it’s like comparing a Toyota to a Ferrari. No disrespect to the Toyotas of the world, but the power and speed are incomparable. It moves so fast, and the benefit to that is it froths like no other. I vastly prefer this frother to both other handheld varieties and more expensive frothers that work automatically.” – India Yaffe, former associate shopping editor

Hanes Crewneck EcoSmart Fleece Pullover ($11, originally $21)

There’s a reason this pullover has tens of thousands of five-star ratings: it’s comfy, endlessly versatile, and the kind of sweatshirt you’ll reach for all year long. Grab it while it’s a whopping forty-eight percent off.

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder ($12, originally $15)

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

AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Lotion ($12, originally $25)

Our editor swears by the AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Lotion for softer, smoother, even-toned skin. It is formulated with 12 percent lactic acid that will gently exfoliate the skin while maintaining hydration. In addition to people with rough and dry skin, this is also beneficial for anyone with body acne, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and more. Read more about the product in our in-depth AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Lotion review.

Editor Quote: “Whenever my friends ask how I’m able to get buttery-soft skin or how my bikini line looks smooth, I pretty much credit it to consistently using AmLactin’s Daily lotion. My ‘strawberry skin’ is practically gone; I even noticed that my underarms are lighter and more even-toned as well.” — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor

Satina High Waisted Leggings ($12, originally $18)

These high-waisted leggings have over 65,000 five-star ratings and are loved for their buttery-soft and opaque fabric, numerous colors, and different style options (capri, full-length, and full-length with pockets). One of our former editors is a fan, too. Read her review of the Satina High Waisted Leggings to learn more.

Editor Quote: “They’re fitted with a tummy-control design that molds perfectly to my figure and accentuates my curves in all the best ways. I also love that despite feeling incredibly elevated and luxurious, they’re relatively low maintenance and easy to care for.” — Kyley Warren, former assistant shopping editor

Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence ($13, originally $25)

If you have dry, irritated skin, this viral essence will help douse your skin with hydration. It soothes redness, brightens the skin, and helps repair your moisture barrier, without leaving it feeling greasy. Read about one editor’s experience with the product in her review of the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.

Editor Quote: “It’s been a month since I started using the essence daily, and I am a complete convert. Though I was worried the additional skin-care step would clog my pores over time, leading to pimples and what have you, my skin’s texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too.” — Kelsey Garcia, lifestyle director

Karlash Nail Repair Kit for Broken Cracked Split Nails ($15, originally $16)

If you’ve got a chipped or broken nail, the Karlash Nail Repair Kit will be a game-changer for prolonging your manicures. It comes with a nail filer, buffer, a dip powder, and a brush-on glue that will help repair and refine your nails, so they look good as new. The dipping system is also odor-free, resistant to chipping, and water-resistant.

Editor Quote: “I have extended the life of so many manicures thanks to this nail repair kit. Building up a broken nail and then polishing over it is ridiculously easy, and all the reviews prove that thousands of people have done the same. Thanks to this kit, my manicures have lasted me a full month.” — Sarah Wasilak, shopping director

Mangopop Sleeveless Bodysuit ($17, originally $23)

Good bodysuits are hard to come by. So when you find a winner, you should do two things: 1) Snag it. 2) Buy it in another color. Luckily, you can do both with this editor-favorite bodysuit. Read more about why it’s worth the buy in this review of the Mango Sleeveless Bodysuit.

Editor Quote: “This bodysuit is hands down my favorite of the bunch. I ended up purchasing it in three different colors, and I’ve worn each one countless times since then. The colors I own (black, beige, and white) make the perfect basic for any occasion. On a night out, I like to wear one with faux leather pants and a heeled black bootie. For a more casual look, I layer it under an open cardigan with a cute pair of jeans.” – Renee Rodriguez, senior beauty staff writer and social producer

Baleaf Women’s Biker Shorts ($17, originally $27)

Avoid chafing and discomfort with these highly-rated biker shorts on Amazon. Not only do they accentuate your curves in the best of ways, they don’t ride up on your thighs either. With almost 92,000 global ratings, there’s a reason why customers love them.

Differin Acne Treatment Gel ($18, originally $37)

This treatment gel clears and prevents acne thanks to its adapalene formulation. Through Rx-strength acne retinoid, the gel not only helps to remove acne but also reduces the risk of the scarring and hyperpigmentation that comes with it. Of course, one of our editors tested it for a year and now has the most glass-like skin. You can read more about her experience in our Differin Acne Treatment Gel review.

Editor Quote: “I know you’ve probably heard beauty editors say it a million times, but: I rarely buy beauty products. However, there are a few rare occasions where I do whip out my credit card for a skin, body, hair, or makeup product. I gladly buy myself a refill of this Differin Gel every time I’m running low, which happens about every month and a half.” — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Bliss Block Star SPF 30 Invisible Daily Sunscreen ($17, originally $25)

Save a few bucks on this editor-favorite sunscreen that’s acne prone and sensitive skin-friendly. The 100 percent mineral formula has a light tint, which makes it perfect for no makeup-makeup days. Read our full Bliss Block Star Invisible Daily Sunscreen review for more info.

Editor Quote: “The texture is my favorite part — it’s incredibly lightweight and silky, and dries to a soft, blurred finish that’s not matte but also not dewy. It just looks like healthy skin. Very little effort is required to blend it in, which makes the application experience all the more enjoyable. I have a normal skin type, but I find the product hydrating without being greasy.” — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

PS Shirred Criss Cross Longline Sports Bra Yoga Top ($20, originally $25)

Consider adding this longline yoga top to your rotation, right from our collection on Amazon. It’s available in four other colors and comes with a built-in bra with removable cups and criss-cross back straps to ensure comfort and style.

Editor Quote: “As someone who typically works out in sports bras, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I love this longline tank. The shirred seams give it a noticeably flattering fit and the crisscross back makes me feel secure, even though the top itself isn’t too tight or restricting. It’s functional and movable no matter what activity I’m doing, but I find it particularly appropriate for cycling on my Peloton bike at home or attending Pilates classes teamed with flared leggings. It also washes really well and stays in optimal condition when I throw it in the laundry on cold in a delicate cycle, hanging to dry.” — Sarah Wasilak, shopping director

Blume SuperBelly Gut Health and On-The-Go Hydration Packet ($23, originally $32)

Whether you walk, run, hit the gym, or simply lounge around the house, a hydration powder can help. This one from Blume contains gut-supporting ingredients like prebiotics, probiotics, and fermented apple cider vinegar for better digestion. Once you try it, you’ll never go back.

Goopow Kids Camera Toy ($26, originally $33)

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 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

Bloom Nutrition Superfood Greens Powder ($25, originally $40)

Regardless of where you fall in the debate on the value of greens powders, one thing is clear: Bloom is a crowd favorite. Shoppers love mixing it into water or smoothies for an energy boost. Read about our editor’s experience in our review of the Bloom Nutrition Superfood Greens Powder.

Editor Quote: “Bloom is really big on advertising that it ‘fights bloat’ and ‘soothes digestion,’ but I wasn’t expecting it to be so efficient. When I started drinking it daily, I noticed my bowel movements (TMI) felt routine rather than random or out of my control. I used to take Metamucil for fiber, but with Bloom, I no longer feel like I need it.” — Melanie Whyte, former contributing editor

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

One of our editors saw impressive teeth-whitening results just days before her wedding, thanks to this beloved Crest formula. And 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

Roku Streaming Stick 4K ($30, 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

Levi’s Classic Straight Jeans ($33, originally $60)

Nothing says summer quite like a pair of white jeans. This pair goes with everything in your warm-weather wardrobe, and the timeless straight-leg cut means you won’t be retiring them any time soon. It’s right there in the name — they’re as classic as it gets.

Etronik Gym Bag ($34, originally $50)

This duffel has all the standout features of the celeb-founded lookalike, but for a fraction of the price. It comes with a dedicated shoe compartment to keep your kicks separate from your clothes, a roomy wet pocket for post-swim essentials, a built-in USB charging port, and plenty of other convertible details. It also fits as a personal item on most airlines.

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus Blow-Dryer Brush ($40, originally $49)

This blow dryer brush is one of the most famous under-$50 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, senior beauty staff writer and social producer

Tanming 2-Piece Outfit ($40, originally $50)

Our editor was influenced by TikTok to invest in this matching set, and it turned out to be perfect for lounging at home. The contrast trim adds a chic touch to the comfy, casual cream-colored set, and it comes in a wide range of colors. Check out her Tanming Women’s 2-Piece Outfit review for more details.

Editor Quote: “What I love about this sweater set is that it looks a hell of a lot more polished than my go-to combination of a mismatched sweatshirt and sweatpants or activewear leggings and an oversize crewneck — while feeling just as comfortable on. Its versatility ensures I can confidently wear it during work meetings without the nagging sense that I should have thrown on something nicer. The price is hard to beat, too.” — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shopping editor

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.” – Renee Rodriguez, senior beauty staff writer and social producer

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. Our 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
