BEAUTY STEALS
Neutrogena is one of the most well-known and well-liked drugstore brands out there. Heck, I swear by their moisturizer and face wash. Right now, they’re having an a pretty good sale/excuse to stock up on your favorites, with 25% off everything and free shipping on orders of $25+, no code needed.
Plus, they’re having a “Buy 1, Gift 1 Free” deal on the crazy-looking Light Therapy Acne Mask.
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:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eye Shadow Palette
- Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Cream Eyeshadow
- Cover FX Perfect Pencil
For as ridiculously cheap as e.l.f. Cosmetics is, they have some outstanding products. Right now, they’re giving you free shipping on every single order with the code FREESHIP. I highly recommend the Hydrating Bubble Mask and the Liquid Highlighter, and the Beauty Shield Magnetic Mask Kit is too cool to pass up.
The Big Sales
ASOS is known for their massive sales, and this up to 60% off shoe sale is no different. There are over 300 pairs to choose from, with most coming in under $50. Everything from over-the-knee boots to loafers is included in the sale, so if you’re in need of some new kicks, this is where you should start.
Right now, GAP has a huge sale where everything is discounted up to 50%, which is great, sure. But they have two other deals you’re going to want to check out.
First, use the code FRESHSTYLE to get 20% off your entire purchase. This has the usual long list of exclusions, but if you love something, you should definitely take advantage of it.
Second, and most importantly, head over to their Winter Sale section, use the code FIFTY, and get an extra 50% off sale styles.
Yes, the prices are still insanely high, but Nordstrom Rack has up to 75% off a ton of designer shoes. Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Ferragamo, rag & bone, Vince, Stuart Weitzman, and more luxury brands are included in this sale, so if you really want to treat yo’ self, this is the sale to do it.
It may not seem like the time or place to pick up more sweaters, but if it’s discounted cashmere, it’s always a good time. Amazon’s in-house brand Lark & Ro makes some pretty nice cashmere sweaters, and they’re all on sale for under $85, most coming in around the $50 range. That’s slightly unheard of for cashmere, not so much for Amazon.
Merrell makes some of the best footwear in the game, and they’re taking an extra 15% off sale styles with the code WINTER15, to help you hit the trails (plus some outerwear to help with the cold). It may not exactly be hiking weather, but if you’re a bold winter camper, these are the boots you should pick up.
Get ready for the Dundee awards with an extra 20% discount on all of Keds’ sale styles with the code WINTER20. Everything from their classic white sneakers and their newest collabs with Kate Spade and Rifle Paper Co. There are even glitter sneakers if that’s something you’re into. You’ll need to enter your email to get your specific code, but it’s worth it.
What Band-aid is to adhesive bandages, SPANX is to shapewear. Nordstrom Rack’s SPANX sale is full of all kinds (if you feel like you want some), from strapless slips to bike shorts. They even had some really great leggings/jeggings, tights, and bras.
Home Goods
You should own a stainless steel pan. Actually, you should own several of them, and you can pick up seven (plus five lids) from Amazon today for just $130.
Unlike some other tri-ply pans, these only have aluminum encapsulated in the base, rather than all the way up the walls, so they won’t heat up quite as quickly throughout. On the other hand though, they’re less than $20 per pan, and they should still be an upgrade over whatever pans you bought from Walmart when you moved into your first apartment.
Just remember that this is a Gold Box deal, so don’t leave it on the back burner.
Wabu (“wood after being used”) is a new Indiegogo project looking to turn discarded wood into your new furniture, and as usual, you can save with a preorder.
We checked out Wabu’s Stand, which I’m using to hold vinyl, and the Stool, which I’m using as an end table. Wabu’s stuff is perfect for anyone who wants to add some mixed materials and rugged textures to an otherwise minimalist room, and the assembly with the included butterfly screws is trivial, as each piece is made from no more than three pieces of wood held together by no more than four screws.
Each piece of furniture only has a limited number of preorders available, so you’ll want to order before this deal goes timber.
<Bad stand up comedian voice> What’s the deal with wine glass stems? You’re just going to break them, and for what, so your wine can float a few inches above the table?
Stemless glasses are less prone to shattering, take up less space in your cabinets, and most importantly of all, are dishwasher safe. So pick up a dozen of them for just $9 today with promo code UOS3S3NA.
Perhaps not the most exciting purchase, but this 3-bag laundry sorter can make your laundry day suck a little less by allowing you to separate out all your laundry categories (lights, darks, delicates, etc) before wash day. It might even prevent you from washing that dry-clean-only shirt, or accidentally dyeing all your white clothes pink with that run-away red sock. Whatever the case, this sorter is ~$5 less than usual.
TECH
If you want one of Apple’s incredible new iPad Pros, and don’t need it to be fresh off the factory floor, Amazon’s running a one-day sale on certified refurbs of the Wi-Fi + Cellular models. All of the available deals are the 2017 models, and both the 10.5" and 12.9" sizes are both available in multiple colors and storage capacities, so you can find the one that’s right for you.
Now that Apple’s jumped aboard the Qi train, we’re seeing a lot more charging pad deals than we used to. This new model from RAVPower supports 10W fast charging for compatible Android phones, and is just $11 with promo code KINJA014. At that price, you can afford to put them all over your house.
The release of the Sonos One effectively pushed the going rate of the old Play:1 down to $150, but right now on Amazon, you can get the white model for an even cheaper $137.
The Play:1 sounds exactly the same as the new One (that is to say, it sounds great), and you can even combine two Play:1s into a stereo pair, or scatter them all over your home for multi-room listening. Sonos is expected to offer a 2-for-$349 deal on the new model today (Update: It’s live), but honestly, this is probably a better deal for most people.
The two-pack of Sonos Ones for $350 is live now as well. Unless you really want Alexa built in, I’d still just buy two Play:1s at $137 each, but there it is.
Whether you’re a slow typist, are a carpal tunnel sufferer, or just want to feel like you’re living on the Starship Enterprise, Nuance’s Dragon dictation software can make your voice as powerful as any mouse and keyboard. If you’re curious to try it out, Amazon is offering up big savings on the software, today only.
Included in the Gold Box deal are the latest versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Home ($29) and Premium ($68) for Windows, plus some bundles and accessories. Oddly, Mac users seem to be left out in the cold this time around. I won’t get into the nitty gritty details here, but each product page has a comprehensive overview of what the software can and can’t do, so head over to Amazon to see if this deal is right for you.
Have you used any of Nuance’s software yourself? Let us know what you think of it in the comments.
While 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound involves placing speakers around your room on a single plane, the concept behind Dolby Atmos audio is to give audio an element of height. If you don’t want to install speakers in your ceiling though, this sound bar is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to pull off the effect.
The Pioneer Surround Elite Atmos Soundbar is a 3.1.2 system, meaning you get three regular audio channels in the sound bar, a wireless subwoofer for bass, and two special “object” speakers that point upwards, and bounce sound off your ceiling, creating the effect of Atmos surround sound with minimal hardware. And for content that doesn’t support Atmos, the system is smart enough to mix it as regular 5.1.
At $405 shipped, it’s not exactly an impulse purchase, but that’s still $95 less than Amazon’s current price, and easily an all-time low.
Whether you need a spare card for your dash cam, your GoPro, your Switch, or anything else, this 64GB Samsung microSD card is down to its lowest price today.
