First up: this top-rated wireless bra from Bali, which has some 14,900 positive reviews for its stretchy yet still supportive fabric and flattering shape. “The solution to all my bra problems,” wrote one enthusiast.

They’re endorsed by nearly 72,000 customers (including me) and they’re hypoallergenic, latex-free and super easy to clean. For Beautyblender loyalists, I also found options on sale for $11 at Sephora and $14 at Target — the lowest I've seen.

For a natural option, consider these eco-friendly, 100% plant-based and biodegradable sponges— made from coconut husk fibers that are non-scratch and chemical-free.

Spruce up your bathroom with this handy ‘spritzmas set’ from Poo-Pourri — over 30% off — which includes two festive sprays made of natural essential oils for combatting odors and keeping the area smelling fresh.
