BEAUTY STEAls

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:


Clarins may seem like your mother’s makeup brand, but most of their skin care are hard-hitting bottles of miracle juice. Right now, take up to 25% off everything thanks to their Friends & Family sale, no code necessary.

I used the Mission Perfection Serum in my nightly routine for a couple years and loved it. And the Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate isn’t a best-seller for nothin’.


Yes, Marc Jacobs makes clothing, but the brand also has a pretty stellar beauty line. I personally own mascara, eyeliner, and lipsticks from Marc Jacobs Beauty and can attest to how great they are. I also have almost a dozen of the nail lacquers and right now, they’re giving you 50% off all nail colors, including Limited Edition colors, with the code MJBNAIL.

The Big Sales

The weather wants to be nice, I feel it. If your cabin fever has ramped up after the nice days that have popped up lately, Mountain Hardwear’s Winter Sale is for you. Everything you could need gear-wise for getting (and staying) outside is 30% off, from jackets and outerwear, to sleeping bags and tents. Seriously, there are over 250 items marked down.

Note: If you sign up for the Elevated Members program, you’ll get an extra 10% off.


Timex makes one of your favorite affordable watch, the Weekender. And, it’s that about time you got yourself a decent timepiece that you aren’t afraid to wear every day. Timex is knocking an extra 25% off their sale styles for men and women, Weekender included, when you use the code WATCH25 at checkout.


Everyone needs new jeans at some point, and if that some point is right now, this True Religion sale at Nordstrom Rack is for you. Denim for guys and girls are on sale, plus tees and jackets, so your spring wardrobe has been figured out.


So it seems that winter is not ready to officially done and I know the last thing you want to think about right now how you have many more days of covering your toes. But this Frye sale at Nordstrom Rack may be too good to pass up. All kinds of boots, from ankle to thigh-high are included, even some flats and sandals. Bags and men’s styles are also included.


Spring is almost here and ASOS wants to make sure your wardrobe is prepared. With up to 70% off an unbelievable amount styles 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 11,000 dresses on sale (seriously), so it’s unlikely you won’t find anything.


I currently own five Funko POP! Figures, all Star Wars, most sitting on my desk at work. They’re adorable, and highly accurate, and ThinkGeek has them on sale right now for up to 70% off. POP! Figures are the perfect desk accessories for showing off your allegiance to pop culture, whether it’s action movies or video games or Bob Ross.


One of this biggest problems with buying bikinis, besides finding the right size, is having to buy two separate things. Even with affordable swimsuits, you wind up spending $50+ on two small pieces of fabric. Aerie wants to help you out by marking down all of their bikini tops and bottoms to just $20 each. Mix and match, get a set, or just get one to go with a top or bottom you already have. The world is your affordable oyster,

Home Goods

Time to get comfy, because Urban Outfitters is having a home sale. Take an extra 40% off every home good that’s already on sale. That includes decor, furniture, bedding, even flatware. Just try not to go overboard because you may never want to leave your newly redecorated apartment (though, I don’t blame you).


Mario is getting the Zelda treatment this year with his own hardcover encyclopedia, and preorders on Amazon are currently marked down to $24, from the MSRP of $40. The book doesn’t come out until October, but if you preorder now, you’ll automatically get the best price Amazon lists between the moment you order and the day it’s released.



Beach weather will be here before you know it, and bar none, Sport-Brella is the umbrella you want to take with you to the shore. Amazon’s discounting the blue and red model to just $43 today. That’s the best price since September for the blue one, but the red has been as low as $40 recently.

Unlike a regular umbrella, Sport-Brella leans backwards and attaches to the sand with stakes, creating a kind of semi-private cocoon with enough space for a couple of chairs and a cooler. Best of all, it sets up in about five minutes (once you know what you’re doing), and can provide a full day’s worth of privacy and sun protection.


Life’s too short for vacuuming, so outsource the chore to the robots with Anker’s newest robot vacuum, the RoboVac 11c Pet Edition. Already makers of one of our readers’ favorite and best-selling robot vacuum, Anker added even more suction power and barrier strips, which tell the vacuum to avoid certain areas, like the often-wet area around a dog’s water bowl. This model also connects to Wi-Fi, and can be controlled with your phone, Alexa, or Google Home.

As a parent of two dogs and a cat, I’m constantly fighting against the pet hair tumbleweeds. I’ve tested this vacuum and have so far been amazed about how much hair it’s picked up, especially in hard-to-reach places under furniture, which this low-profile vacuum has no trouble navigating.

If you’ve been eyeing a robot vacuum, today is a great day to suck in a deal. Use promo code MJQ9HTQX, and you’ll get the vacuum for $240, a $60 discount. But if you want a really good deal, add the vacuum and a Eufy Genie to your cart, and enter the promo code above and 66DWJHE9, to save the $60 plus get the Genie for free (a $35 value).


Update: Woot is now selling these pillows individually through Amazon’s Gold Box for $37-$39 each, depending on the size. You can still pick between two different firmness levels.

My Pillow makes our readers’ favorite pillows, and Woot is offering a rare deal today that should help your wallet rest easy.

For between $37 and $39, you’ll get a My Pillow in the sizes of your choice, with either medium or firm fill. These aren’t exactly the same as the pillows that won our Co-op—they’re gusseted, meaning there’s a piece of fabric stretching around the edge of the pillow, rather than the top and bottom being sewn into each other—but the patented fill is the same.

TECH

It’s been awhile since Amazon ran a storage and networking Gold Box, but today’s sale appears to be worth the wait.

There aren’t a ton of deals on the storage side of the equation, but highlights include a 1TB portable hard drive for $41, and a 3TB drive for $76. Be sure to head over to Amazon for more options though.


These days, you probably charge as many things over USB as you do over standard AC outlets, so it only makes sense to add some permanent USB ports to your home.

We’ve seen USB outlet receptacles for slightly less in the past, but this model boasts 4.8A of power shared between the two USB ports, compared to 4A on most alternatives, meaning high-draw devices like tablets will charge up faster. Just be sure to use promo code 15TGUSBDN at checkout to save about a few bucks.


Curved TVs are kind of pointless, but curved monitors, which are much closer to your eyes, might actually have some merit, and a bunch of different options from Samsung are on sale today from Woot. Everything here is refurbished, but there’s a wide range of prices and features to pick from, plus, Amazon Prime members get free shipping.

If you’ve got the cash for it, my pick is this 32" QLED model, which has black levels that rival OLED screens. It goes for $550 new, but today’s deal brings that down to $430.
