Bang for your buck
When you make a purchase, especially online when you can’t actually look at and pick up the item, you want to know that it’ll be worth your money and time. Just in time for Amazon Prime Day on October 13 and 14, we’ve gathered 65 high-quality products that you never knew you needed and that you’ll wonder how you got through day-to-day happenings without! Here’s what you need to know about Prime Day this year.
This eye cream actually works
$42
Some eye creams rely on little more than hydration and light-diffusing pigments to trick onlookers into thinking you’re slightly more rested than you really are, but few go above and beyond to actually reverse some of the issues like dark circles. Biopelle Dark Circle Relief Cream with Vitamin K is different, offering the typical moisture plus a hearty 1 percent concentration of vitamin K oxide to tell dark circles to take a hike. Know these little-known Amazon hacks to save even more money while shopping.
