Amazon Prime Day Live: We're Dropping Deals and Takes Every 15 Minutes

Ah yes, the age-old question plaguing every young woman: would I rather have great sex or great lashes? Just kidding—I just had to poke fun at this name. But in all seriousness, this mascara has been my daily go-to for the better part of a decade, and it never disappoints. I'm always getting compliments on my lashes (humble brag). The shape of the brush and the thick bristles completely coat every lash, and the formula feels silky smooth with peptides that aim to condition. Normally at $30, this mascara is a pricey (but worth it) upgrade made a little more reasonable with the $10 discount. Money comes and goes but beautiful lashes are forever, baby!

Among some of the many affectations that the WIRED Reviews team has in common is a fondness for barefoot running. Reviewer Scott Gilbertson almost always wears barefoot shoes, and I started incorporating barefoot training after an ACL repair to strengthen my ancillary muscles and have been doing it ever since. It's really good for you! Merrell makes the iconic barefoot shoe, the Vapor Glove, which is currently on ridiculous sale.

More barefoot shoes, like the Trail Glove ($60, $60 off) are also on sale, and the Merrell Agility Peak 5 ($105, $45 off) is currently our Best Trail Running Shoe and it's also on sale.

I have a fluffy, beautiful (but dumb) cat named Clover who I've long suspected has some Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest cat in her. Turns out, according to Basepaws’ at-home DNA testing kit, she’s about 12% Maine Coon and 12% Ragdoll. Ahh yes, that’s why she’s such a diva. She is part Fancy Breed, unlike my other cat Basil who is basically 100% domesticated short hair—the catch-all mutts of the cat world. What did I expect? I found him in a literal gutter at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missourah.

Testing was easy—all you have to do is register your kit online, swab the cat's mouth, seal it back up, send it back, and wait 5 or so weeks for results. They digitally send you reports, including genetic health markers, dental conditions, and DNA analysis. This kit is super discounted right now, and is way cheaper (and less traumatic) than a trip to the vet. I found that my cats’ oral health is kind of bad and they could be at risk for oral disease; so I’m going have to start brushing their teeth. Wish me luck.

In the course of this job, I have to use a bunch of different smartphones to test different fitness trackers. Were it not for the fact that everyone in my immediate family is firmly embedded in the Apple ecosystem, I would probably switch to a Pixel permanently. I use one for testing the Pixel Watch and the hardware is gorgeous, the software is excellent, the battery life is better. It's just … a way better phone than my current daily driver, the iPhone 16.

This Prime Day, editor Julian Chokkattu saw probably the best deal ever on the Pixel 9 Pro XL ($749, $350 off) but he has rounded up a ton of other amazing phone deals there. And check out the rest of Julian's phone reviews if you want to know more.
