BEAUTY STEAls

Laura Mercier squeaked out a win as your favorite tinted moisturizer, but the beauty brand is so much more than a white tube. Right now, you can grab free shipping on everything, no code needed. Just add what you want to your cart and get it shipped to you for free.


Sephora isn’t known for their discounts and deals like other retailers, but they’re trying something new this year with their Weekly Wow deals. Every Thursday, Sephora will drop a bunch of deals and offers for one week only. This week includes:


The Amopé is an electric foot file that literally files down the gross calluses on your feet until they slightly resemble those of a modern human. This $40 gift set includes the scrubber, three roller heads, foot cream, file, and those little pedicure toe separators. Today’s price is also the lowest it’s been in over a year.


Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Coconut line has been shaking up the beauty sphere, and rightfully so. Right now, you can grab their Enamored with Coconut 4-piece set that includes their Under(Cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer, Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter, Re(Cover) Perfecting Coconut Setting Mist, and their award-winning Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer, for just $75 (separately, they’re $113).

The Big Sales

Joe’s New Balance is the premiere online outlet for...New Balance shoes, obviously. Right now, they’re having a huge flash sale where select styles are all $35 when you use the code FLASH35 at checkout. And it’s not just New Balance sneakers; apparel is also included.


Spring is almost here and ASOS wants to make sure your wardrobe is prepared. With up to 60% off dresses to help get you ready for the new season, it’s going to be hard to let your shopping bag stay empty. There are over 700 dresses on sale, so it’s unlikely you won’t find anything.


The two most contested things to spend money on when it comes to women’s wardrobes are shoes and bags. I’m in the camp that shoes will inevitably get ruined, so maybe opt for the bag. If you always feel that way, but want to feel like you’re getting a deal, Nordstrom Rack is marking down a ton of bags from Moschino, AllSaints, MCM, Loeffler Randall, and more.


The East Coast is dealing with a fairly inconvenient nor’easter right now, and that’s just the preview of the wet weather in the coming months. If you don’t plan on arriving at work soaking wet, maybe stock up on some discounted BlockTech from Uniqlo to help keep you looking professional. And dry. Pretty much all the styles (except the Uniqlo U line) are $10 off, for both men and women.


Wedding season is creeping up and if you don’t have shoes to wear, Kenneth Cole can help you out. They’re having a Footwear Friday Sale, even though it’s Thursday, and that means up to 60% off a ton of styles for men and women. Think dress shoes, boots, sandals, sneakers, and more.


You may be thinking Zappos only does shoes, but they have a ton of apparel as well. Right now, a ton of The North Face styles (shoes included) are on sale for prices that’ll make you want to stock up. If anything, pick up some of the best touchscreen gloves out there.

Plus, everything The North Face ships free.


You need jeans. Everyone needs jeans. Get denim from Nordstrom Rack’s sale on Hudson Jeans. Hudson will normally run you way over $150, and into the $200s for a lot of styles, but this sale has brought them all down in the $90-$100 range.


ThinkGeek may be known for desk toys and geeky apparel, but their luggage and bags are pretty snazzy as well. Right now, a bunch of their bags are on sale, including one of the best laptop bags out there, the Bag of Holding. Get up to 70% off things to put your things into.


If you need anything for the outdoors, Backcountry has it on sale. With up to 60% off a ton of stuff during their Winter Clearance Sale, there are thousands of items on sale. Outerwear, boots, bags, and more are discounted, so maybe it’s time to think about going for a winter camping trip.


TOMS is no longer just the purveyor of canvas slip-ons. They have a ton of options for basically every kind of shoe person, from sneakers, to dress shoes, to sandals, and boots. Use the code BYEWINTER at checkout and take an extra 20% off sale styles for men and women, including some more weather-appropriate styles.


Levi’s is a classic American denim brand, and they make your favorite pair of men’s jeans (no surprise there). Right now, they’re giving you 30% off basically everything, including sale styles, from denim to outerwear and beyond, with the code FAM30. With prices like these, a Canadian tuxedo may even start to look appealing.

Don’t know where to start? The sale works on the reader-favorite 511 Commuters, in a variety of styles. Find them all here.

Home Goods

Whether you’re sitting up in bed and reading a novel, or staying up past midnight scrolling through Twitter until you’re too upset to get to sleep, your back will thank you for buying a reading pillow.

These Linenspa pillows are down to $32 (regular) or $40 (extra large) in today’s Amazon Gold Box, about 20% less than usual. Their shredded memory foam and support foam blend will support your back and shoulders whether you’re using them on the couch, in bed, or on the floor. Just remember that these prices are only available today, and they could sell out early.


If you’ve ever eaten at a nice steakhouse, there’s a good chance you’ve eaten sous-vide meat. Here’s a secret though: It’s really easy to get those kinds of results yourself, and Amazon’s here to help with a $102 deal on the Bluetooth version of Anova’s top-selling immersion circulator.

Lifehacker has a great explainer on Sous-Vide cooking for you to check out, but the basic idea is that you seal the food in plastic bags, and then cook it in precisely heated water over a longish period of time. It sounds weird and vaguely alchemical, but the result is meat (and other stuff, too!) that’s cooked to the exact right temperature all the way through.

We saw this for slightly less around the holidays, but by any other measure, this is a fantastic deal if you’ve been meaning to pick one up.


Here it is. The best product on Amazon.

This is a horse head-shaped squirrel feeder that hangs from a tree branch. To get to the food, a squirrel has to stand on its hind legs and put its head inside the horse, which the Amazon product description claims “causes much hilarity.” Understatement of the century, if you ask me.

$10 is the lowest price ever, and kind of insane considering this product is clearly worth hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars.

Update: The human version is also on sale for $8, an all-time low. What a day!


Just in time for spring, Amazon now makes its own outdoor string lights, and you can save 20% on the strand of your choice with promo code 20KINJA.

Each strand is 48' long, weatherproof, and holds 15 incandescent bulbs. Your only real options are the color of the cord and the shape of the bulb - the code will work on both the default S14 bulbs and the globe-style G60s. Plus, the cords are rated for enough power to chain eight of them together into a 384' mega-strand that could light up your entire backyard.


August’s 2nd genration Smart Lock lets you lock and unlock your door from anywhere using your phone, it’s even compatible with Siri, and you can get it for just $100 for the first time ever today.

Assuming you have your phone with you whenever you leave the house, an August Smart Lock-installed door will auto lock behind you and unlock as you approach. It’s especially useful because you don’t have to necessarily be home to grant or restrict access to people like dog walkers, maintenance workers, or other people who need to come into your house. It even creates a log of when the door has been opened so you monitor comings and goings.


Don’t be that guy that doesn’t clean up after his dog. When you can get 810 poop bags and a dispenser for $13, there’s no excuse. If you want save another 64 cents, sign up for Subscribe & Save and cancel at anytime.


Izola may not be a household name, but the Brooklyn-based brand has been in and out of gift guides and features across many outlets. Their simple but robust barware, grooming, and accessories are perfect for any guy or gal in your life. Right now, they have a ton of stuff that’s 50% off during their March Clearance Sale. Then, use the code MARCHON and get an extra 20% off orders of $55+.

TECh

With its ability to work on any surface, including glass, the Logitech MX Anywhere mouse has always been a reader favorite. And today, you can save on its sequel.

All the features you know and love from the original are still here, but the MX Anywhere 2S adds in Logitech’s new FLOW cross-computer control, which lets you use one mouse to control multiple computers at once, and even copy and paste content between them. Even if you never use that feature though, it’s a great mouse with 70 day battery life, a best-in-class sensor, and easy Bluetooth or USB pairing to up to three devices. Not bad for $59, within about $5 of an all-time low.



Update 3/2: This deal has been running for a couple of weeks, but it’ll be gone after this weekend, so get your orders in.

With its 24 hour battery life, impressive bass, and crystal clear sound quality, the Anker SoundCore has long been our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and its water-resistant successor is down to $32 today, or $8 less than usual.

The SoundCore 2 still includes dual drivers and that amazing 24 hour battery; the only real differences are a slightly tweaked design and the aforementioned water resistance. That means you can take it to the pool, the beach, or even the shower without fear.
