Everything CNN Underscored editors bought during Amazon’s October Prime Day

Every dog in my life (and there are a lot) is obsessed with this exact bone, so I'm stocking up while it's nearly half off for Prime Day. I don't know if it's the flavor, the shape, the texture or all of the above, but this is consistently the top chew toy for the dogs I know of all sizes, breeds and personalities.?— Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

Now that we're in our 30's, we try to always have some Liquid I.V. on hand for our household. After a night of indulging in some wine, or even a big physical outing, the electrolytes packed into this powder will revive us nine times out of 10. The rest is in God's hands —Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

I've never purchased a face mask before, but I feel like everyone I know uses them. This top-rated bio-collagen mask from Biodance seems like a good place to start, especially since it's 32% off for Prime Day. I'm excited to see what all the hype is about. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

The Laneige Lip Mask was the only thing that could help my chapped lips fight harsh winter winds. I loved it so much, I even wore it as a lip gloss. When I saw the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm on sale for Prime Big Deal Days, I knew I had to try it. I trust the brand to keep my lips moisturized and know I'll love the natural-looking skin tint. — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer

I saw a friend wearing a Free People loose-fit romper and became determined to find something similar this Prime Big Deal Days. This Taqcux Loose Romper gives the same effortless style. The high-neck front and V-neck back feel like wearing an elevated, comfy big T-shirt. I plan on styling with this chunky?sneakers and a shoulder bag (similar to the one in the photo). — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer

I recently did a deep clean of my apartment, during which I realized I have so many important documents and items beyond just the government-issued ones, so I finally decided to invest in something to keep it all safe. It may not be a "fun" purchase, but I deemed it a necessary one, and at 23% off for fall Prime Day it was the perfect time to buy. —?Daniel Toy, section editor, copy chief

Even at-home teeth whiteners seem like a luxury spend, so I don't splurge on them often. Luckily, these top-rated Crest Whitestrips go on sale without fail during the two-day event, so I swooped in to buy while at one of their lowest prices. I've noticed them visibly brightening the appearance of my pearly whites after just one treatment, seeing my money well spent in real time. — Jacqueline Saguin, deals editor

I held out for October Prime Day to restock my favorite skincare serum from the AAPI skincare brand CosRX, and I'm reaping the benefits. It's the one thing I bought last Prime Day, and this October, it steepened to 48% off. Super-hydrating and acne-fighting, the snail mucin formula feels refreshing on my dry, sensitive skin. — Jacqueline Saguin, deals editor

I saw this K-beauty product has been getting a lot of buzz on TikTok and Reddit. It’s supposed to be like microneedling in a bottle. Naturally, I’m skeptical about that claim, but the thousands of positive reviews and seemingly glowing results do have me intrigued enough to give it a try — especially while it’s only $12 for Prime Day. —?Sophie Shaw, beauty and fashion editor

This seems to be the one thing that is recommended?every?Prime Day, so I'm finally caving. My husband and I took a risk and bought white/cream-colored living room furniture early this year, so we're definitely in need of an emergency "uh oh" solution in case the furniture takes a beating (especially during football season). I'm excited to see if it's worth the hype — which I'm fairly certain it will be, and I'm happy to be saving over $40 while it's on sale. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

On the topic of adulting and not wanting to spend money on functional things, I saw the 42% discount on this first aid kit, so I quickly added it to my cart; $14 for a 160-piece kit is a real bargain. If I go to my local CVS, it almost costs $14 for one packet of Band-Aids anyway, so this was a no-brainer. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor

I saw this on the ‘Deals on things you were going to buy anyway’ article. Good quality/name brand garbage bags can be pricy, so a deal on something that’ll never expire and will ALWAYS get used? Sign me up. I’m also a sucker for scented bags. — Devin Zacchino, business coordinator

While I love my Coop pillow, I wanted to try something new. I’ve had this pillow in my cart for months just waiting for it to go on sale. Now that it’s more than 50% off, I ran to check out. —?Lindsey Smith, associate editor

Chilly season is right around the corner and I want to be prepared! No more drafty front door, thanks to this cheap adhesive door draft stopper. Should save me on my heating bill, too! — Devin Zacchino, business coordinator

I’ve been loving Ethique’s shampoo bars for myself and my pup. We used up the dog-friendly one twice as fast, though, so I was happy to see that it’s on sale for Prime Day. It’s gentle, made with natural ingredients and completely zero-waste, but most importantly, it leaves my dog’s coat noticeably soft and silky — she gets compliments on it all the time. —?Sophie Shaw, beauty and fashion editor

I just moved into an apartment and storage is always a struggle. I’ve been on the lookout for decent magnetic shelves I can put on my fridge, but didn’t want to bite the bullet spending $30+. Seeing this shelf listed for less than half of most like it, I couldn’t say no! — Devin Zacchino, business coordinator

I’ve been searching for a lip tint that’s long-lasting and hydrating. This Fruity Glass Tint by Colorgram is the perfect mix of lip gloss and lip stain. It’s hydrating and glossy when you first apply it and it leaves a lovely lip tint once the gloss wears off. There are eight different colors plus a clear version — my favorite is the Heartful Mulberry color. Right now they’re 45% off! — Stephanie Luna, editorial coordinator

In an ideal world, I would change my phone cases to coordinate with every outfit. (I may or may not have used to do that in high school…) Anyway, new $5 iPhone case in my favorite color? Duh, add to cart. — Devin Zacchino, business coordinator

I have been obsessed with ESW's products lately, and it was time to restock some of my favorites. When I saw their lip treatments were on sale, I knew I had to snag one. As the weather gets colder, our lips get drier. This moisturizing lip treatment will definitely become one of your favorite fall beauty products. — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator

With only five weeks to go before my baby arrives, I'm in a mad dash to stock up on critical supplies. This no-touch thermometer works both for babies and adults, and it offers fast and easy temperature readings. It has over 101,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars, so it's clearly a fan favorite. It's 43% off for Prime Day, so it was the perfect time to cross another thing off my baby list. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

Prime Big Deal Days is the perfect time for me to restock my beauty care products with great deals. Specifically my go-to Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow face serum. I've used it for over two years and continue to love the results. My skin has been forever changed — bright, hydrated, glowing. If you are looking to add a face serum to your skin care routine, I recommend this one. — DaVonne Onassis Bacchus, strategy and operations manager

Last winter, I wished so bad I had purchased a heated blanket during one of the many fall deals events. This time around, I did not miss my chance to scoop up an on-sale, cozy and highly rated heated throw that comes with six heat settings and four time settings. —?Stephanie Griffin, director of social

Lately, my toddler literally has been bouncing off the walls — and the furniture — so I decided it was time for her first trampoline. This one has a relatively small footprint that can be folded and tucked away, plus a safety bar she can hold on to as she practices jumping. I’m hoping it even helps her sleep more soundly once she’s all bounced out. I also love that it has a weight capacity of 220, so I can hop with (or without) her, if I feel so inclined. And it certainly doesn't hurt that it's 20% off.?— Danielle Poiesz, copy editor

I've recently become a fan of the Nepure Korean Exfoliating Mitt washcloth. I restocked today when I noticed it's on sale on Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. These washcloths will have your skin feeling baby soft. I use it twice a week, and it has been effective in improving skin texture and removing dead skin cells. I feel so clean and fresh. Go buy now!?— DaVonne Onassis Bacchus, strategy and operations manager

I've been trying to upgrade my skin care routine lately, and part of that process has been hunting for a new face cleanser. CNN Underscored's beauty and fashion editor Sophie Shaw?recommended the CosRX Low-pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, which is 36% off and just a buck away from its all-time low, so I'm taking this opportunity to try it out at a lower risk. — Henry T. Casey, electronics writer

I've long been on the hunt for a good bedroom lamp, and after seeing how cheap the Echo Glow was for Prime Day (and?consulting our review), it was pretty easy to pull the trigger. Its small circular design will fit perfectly on my desk, and I'm already excited to make my entire bedroom turn purple without lifting a finger.?— Mike Andronico, senior tech editor

My wife and I decided to replace our old bath mat with the Dorai Stone Bath Mat because it's sleek and highly functional. Our old bath mat got dingy and started to smell within just a couple weeks and we were constantly throwing it in the wash. The quick-drying stone surface helps prevent mildew and keeps our bathroom feeling clean and fresh. — James Harris, senior visual designer

I never (ever) pass up the opportunity to pick up my all-time favorite biodegradable, single-use face towels when they're on sale. Unlike regular reusable face towels, they never break me out, and they come in handy when I travel. —?Stephanie Griffin, director of social

After nearly five years of dutiful service (and a few pet accidents too many), it was finally time to kick my trusty Rugshop area rug to the curb. Fortunately, I was able to find a similar [5-by-7-foot] model on sale for Prime Day at the same cheap price I got the original for back in 2020. It'll be like my old rug never left — minus the stains, thankfully.?— Mike Andronico, senior tech editor

As someone who cooks a lot and bakes regularly, I've kind of gotten tired of how my plastic wrap, aluminum foil and parchment paper are organized. And the containers they come in always fall apart. So I thought I'd make a small investment and buy this organizer, which luckily went on sale this Prime Day. I can't wait to mount it on my wall. I'm sure it'll make my kitchen life easier. — Michelle Rae Uy, testing writer

Tinned fish has really grown on me over the past couple years, and Fishwife makes some of my favorite — though it’s definitely on the pricier end. I picked up a three-pack of this spicy salmon while it was on sale on Prime Day, and I can’t wait to have it for a few quick dinners over rice with edamame. —?Chelsea Stone, editorial director

It’s no secret Underscored editors are obsessed with Goshi towels, so when I saw the brand released a sponge version at a great price, I knew I had to check it out. —?Lindsey Smith, associate editor

Boot season is coming, and my sock drawer is looking rough since last year, so I snagged this cute 10-pack of socks on sale. They’re the perfect height for peeking out over my Docs this fall. —?Chelsea Stone, editorial director

I may be alone on this, but I had absolutely no idea a product like this existed until recently. Our editors tested these AAA to AA converter cases recently and I was shocked to discover they actually worked. We always seem to only have AAA on hand when we need AA, so I'm grabbing a pack of these while they're 20% off for Prime Day. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

These are my favorite,?favorite?under-eye patches. They work better than any big-name brand ones, and while I like to keep them my little secret, I’m happy to share them with our readers. —?Lindsey Smith, associate editor

It's a dream come true, my go-to under-eye cream is on sale for 40% off. My husband and I are both hooked on and love this super-light and effective under-eye cream.

This brand makes an Underscored-beloved?soothing facial spray, and I’ve heard that its retinol-alternative face cream is equally as good. With a 30% off Prime Day discount, I was ready to give it a try for myself. —?Chelsea Stone, editorial director

Yes, you still need to wear SPF in the cooler months. This is my favorite SPF ever — it has become my skin care holy grail. I recently ran out and have been waiting for this day to repurchase so I can snag it on sale. It's super lightweight and doesn't leave any white cast at all. I also have acne-prone oily skin, and this does wonders for me. It definitely deserves a spot in your PBDD cart. — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator

It's officially cozy season and time to transition to workday afternoons cozied up in my living room, on my couch, with my gas stove blazing. But to ensure I stay productive, I snagged this adjustable desk that I can maneuver around my living room and use to prop up my laptop wherever I'm snuggled up. It's 27% off right now with an extra $10 off coupon. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

Shark is one of my all-time favorite hair care brands. When I saw that the FlexStyle hair dryer was on sale today, I knew I had to get it.

This will be the only hair-styling tool you'll ever need! — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator

I swear by the Pantene Pro-V line, so I'm stocking up while my favorite shampoo and conditioner are 28% off. For years I've had my hair professionally colored and despite trying countless salon-quality products for regular haircare, I always come back to this line. I find that the drugstore option performs better than most high-end salon products, and it's way more affordable. My hair feels cleaner, lighter, smoother and more hydrated. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

The reviews are great and the price was right. — Hayley Kinne, manager, business development

You hit your mid-20s and suddenly you start worrying about all the things that could go wrong in your home. I've had a few heart-stopping moments cooking with my gas stove recently and with all the electronics chargers and power cords in my apartment, I figure a fire blanket is a good thing to keep on hand. I'm buying this hoping that I never have to use it, but better safe than sorry. —?Jillian Tracy, associate editor

I'm an avid travel and bullet journaler, and I've been eyeing portable photo printers for a while now with the intention of breaking up the blocks of text in my journals with some visual flair. The Kodak Mini 2 Retro has been my top choice, and at 39% off for October Prime Day, it seemed to move from my "Save for later" section to my cart all on its own. — Daniel Toy, section editor, copy chief

Winter is coming.

I'm getting married in less than a month, so I bought a few packs of these bud vases to use for centerpieces — but I could totally see them being used for decor around the home, too. The 32-piece set comes out to just about $1 apiece, which is such a great deal. — Amina Lake Abdelrahman, home and gifts editor

This Orolay coat went viral on Amazon a couple of years ago and sold out multiple times. Apparently, I was one of the few people who didn't jump on the bandwagon at the time (because I already had a down jacket). But when it popped up on Prime Day with 40% off, I knew it was the time to buy one. What I like most about this coat (before I've even received it) is that sizes start at XXS; most clothes on Amazon start at small, which tends to be too big for me. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor

I've been trying to replace my raincoat (which is not waterproof) for a while but I hate spending money on functional fashion. But when I saw this deal for just $12 for a Champion coat — that's a whopping 77% off — I added it to my cart instantly and snagged one for a gift as well. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor
