Certain messes are in tricky places out of reach of your full-size vacuum cleaner, and that’s where the Black+Decker Dustbuster comes in.

“It’s so light and easy to carry around the house. The vacuum picks up pet fur, debris and all kinds of dirt with ease. It’s easy to charge, and lasts long enough for me to take care of all the little nooks and crannies of my home,” Stephanie Hope, our tester, writes in her Black+Decker Dustbuster review.

One of our favorite beauty products is on sale this Prime Day: GrandeLash-MD serum promises longer, thicker-looking lashes in four to six weeks. It even works if you have lash extensions, a lash lift, falsies or contacts. One tube is enough for a three-month supply.
Writer Marisa Hillman, who’s tested countless beauty and skincare products for Reader’s Digest, attests to this serum’s results in her GrandeLash-MD serum review, though she cautions patience: “It wasn’t until the start of week six that I noticed a difference, but boy did I notice it. I applied the serum before bed as usual, and I swear the magic happened overnight.”
GrandeLash-MD serum is a steal on Amazon Prime Day for 30% off!
