The best early Black Friday deals our editors are shopping
1. Laneige Lip Mask
The Laneige Lip Mask is a standout seller during this year's Amazon Prime Day. Not only is it one of the most popular products our readers are buying, but two of our staff writers bought it for themselves. Writer Janelle Randazza says, "It makes my lips all silky and plump. Plus, it feels creamy and amazing going on."
Writer Samantha Mangino agrees, saying, "I always used Aquaphor on my lips because it was cheap, but when I got a sample of this Laneige it was game over. My laps stay moisturized all day when I apply it overnight. It's magic." Editor's note: This quote made me also purchase the lip mask.
2. Amazon Music Unlimited
Right now, new Amazon Prime subscribers can get 4 months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free. Current Prime subscribers can get 3 free months of the service, which offers unlimited, ad-free music. Sleep editor Tracee Herbaugh took advantage of this killer deal during the promotion.
3. Kindle Paperwhite
The Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle we've ever tested—and executive editor Meghan Kavanaugh just snagged hers for less than $100. She says, "My existing Kindle is almost 10 years old and page turning is starting to lag, so I took advantage of this great deal to upgrade." Meghan's not alone; the Paperwhite is one of the most popular deals our readers are shopping right now.
4. Tula 3-in-1 Acne Cleanser
I've been writing about Prime Day competing sales, and one that caught my eye was a sitewide sale at Tula. With the code HOWL20, you can get 20% off sitewide—so I finally picked up this facial cleanser for acne-prone skin, which is highly rated among Tula shoppers.
$30.40 at Tula with code HOWL20 (save $7.20)
5. Renpho Eye Massager
Our affiliate strategist Jim Ryan snagged the Renpho Eye Massager the moment he saw it was on sale. "Both my son and I get migraines, this is quite relaxing," he said. "Bluetooth ability is a nice addition for relaxing before sleep." This makes a great holiday gift for just about anyone on your list—or for yourself if you suffer from migraines like Jim.
$45.49 at Amazon (save $64.50)
6. 20% off Grubhub
Executive editor Tercius Bufete is always on the hunt for the best deals—and this 20% off Grubhub coupon is one he sent to the entire staff during lunchtime. With the code PRIME20, you can get 20% off your order, and if you're a Prime member, you can get a full year of Grubhub+ for free.
Save 20% on your Grubhub order
7. Elemis Facial Cooling Mask
Writer Janelle Randazza has been shopping all the best beauty deals during the Prime Early Access Sale—and this Elemis Facial Cooling Mask is one she snagged. This hydrating sleep mask is currently 20% off at Amazon right now.
$54.40 at Amazon (save $13.60)
8. Melissa & Doug Dashboard
Melissa & Doug makes some of the best kids’ toys we’ve ever used, and during the Prime Early Access Sale, you can shop them on sale, like this Interactive Wooden Wheel and Dashboard. Editor Amber Bouman picked one up for her son "who keeps pretending that everything is drivable." You can snag this popular toy for just over $32—it’s a great gift for any kid on your list this season.
$32.78 at Amazon (save $37.21)
9. Lego Harry Potter Advent calendar
Managing editor Jen Beaudry has been keeping an eye out for the best Advent calendars all season long—but this week, she finally picked one up for her children: the Lego Harry Potter Advent calendar. This calendar comes with 334 pieces and allows kids to open a new piece every day for 24 days.
10. Hisense 50-in 4K TV
Another great deal executive editor Tercius Bufete took advantage of? This Hisense 50-inch TV, which is $85 off right now at Amazon. When Tercius bought it yesterday, it was down to just $160. "I have to be honest, I do not need this 50" Hisense ULED U6 TV," Tercius said. "But when a TV that sells for between $400-$500 drops down to $160, I'll buy first, find a need for it later. Maybe it'll be a gift for my girlfriend, or perhaps I'll put it in my living room, heck, maybe I'll return it. Who knows what I'll end up doing; but the one thing I do know, I would've been a fool to pass up on probably the wildest deal of the event."
11. SolaWave Facial Wand
Writer Janelle Randazza is back with another excellent beauty find—the SolaWave Facial Wand, which is $59 off at Amazon right now. This 4-in-1 facial wand comes with a Renew Complex Serum, but the wand itself features four capabilities: microcurrent, red light therapy, face massage and therapeutic warmth.
12. New Balance shorts
New Balance makes a pair of shorts so nice that fashion editor Anthony Palliparambil, Jr., bought them twice. He bought a pair during the July Prime Day event and just bought his second pair today. "They've quickly become my go-to for workouts and lounging alike!" Anthony says. You can snag a pair right now for just $17.99 and brag that you wear the same shorts as our fashion editor.
$17.99 at Amazon (save $40.30)
13. Orolay Women's Down Jacket
The Orolay Women's Down Jacket is a best-seller for Amazon, and right now, you can get your own for just $111.99. Our gift guide editor Jeaneen Russell just bought one to prepare for an upcoming trip to Chicago. This coat is Oprah-approved and comes in a variety of fun colors to choose from.
14. Star Trek 4-Movie Collection
Deals writer and movie buff Jon Winkler just picked up an enviable 4-movie Star Trek collection for just $50.99. The collection features four classic Star Trek films, including: Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
15. Electric Spin Scrubber
Managing editor Kasey Caminiti is extremely excited about the new bathroom floor tile scrubber she managed to get for nearly $30 off. "I want to have a sparkly shower, but I didn't want to have to use a drill with the brush accessory every time I clean," Kasey explained. "This looks easy."
$49.39 at Amazon (save $27.60)
16. Crosley Suitcase Turntable
Gift guide editor Jeaneen Russell knows a thing or two about gifts—so when she says she just bought this turntable as a gift for her daughter, you know it's a good one. The Crosley Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable comes in a whopping 30 designs and plays records; it's also equipped with Bluetooth so you can stream just about any music your heart desires.
$64.64 at Amazon (save $15.31)
