Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is over, but I did notice a few stragglers during my morning sweep of the retailer’s sales bin — including Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap, an inexpensive night guard for teeth grinders, and colorful food-storage containers. Plus, Sephora and Ulta are still holding half-off flash sales this week, and today’s selections are all definitely worth a peek.

One spring-y scented hand soap from Mrs. Meyer’s is still on sale: Bluebell, which is a “garden-fresh” floral.

Our favorite, dentist-recommended night guard for mild grinding is $15.

Nivea’s esthetician-approved La Mer dupe is 20 percent off.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids
$145
$145

Faithful Strategist readers may remember my threats to purchase this kid-friendly Kindle Paperwhite last year, which I did during October Prime Day. I can confidently say this is one of the best purchases I’ve made in years. It’s incredibly easy to set up and download books from your library, and the battery life is excellent.

Liven up leftovers with these stackable, rainbow-colored, dishwasher- and microwave-safe food containers from Joseph Joseph.

Spring-clean your pantry and office supplies with this inexpensive Brother labelmaker, which is nearly identical to our best overall pick.

The heavy-duty version of our favorite portable steam cleaner is 22 percent off (which is just $11 more than the original).

$65

Shokz’s running and cycling headphones use bone-conduction technology to transmit super-clear audio, according to former Strategist editor Louis Cheslaw. He noticed “no difference in sound quality” between these and the brand’s pricier OpenRun model.

If you like the look of fluttery, extension-like lashes, this It Cosmetics mascara is half-off — but only until tonight.

French beauty brand L’Occitane advertises its almond-scented shower oil as a body cleanser, but we also like it as a wet-skin moisturizer.

Our beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst uses Bread’s hair oil to separate her curls when taking down her twist out, which she likens to lip gloss for your hair. “It’s slightly viscous, so a little goes a long way, and it gives my hair an extra hint of shine,” she writes.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
