For lots of us, there’s a whole month’s worth of summer left — and there’s a window-mounted air conditioner that’s even cheaper than it was on Prime Day last month if you’re worried about the heat. But for those who already have back-to-school on their mind, I found a sporty backpack and a slim coffee maker that will squeeze into a dorm room. Plus, more picks from Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale, from the cream our beauty writer uses as the first step in her double-moisturizing routine to one of our best-in-class leave-in conditioners.
This K-Duo coffee maker from Keurig can brew an entire carafe with grounds or a single serving with K-Cup pods (and takes up minimal counter space).

Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline used this nourishing eyelash treatment daily during the COVID lockdown. She says it made her breakage-prone lashes stronger as a whole and acted as a nice primer on the days she did wear mascara.
One of our best leave-in conditioners is this one from R+Co, which helps to “soften, seal, detangle, and fight frizz,” according to one hairstylist we spoke to. It’s formulated with vitamin C to protect hair from sun damage and other environmental stressors.
