Bethany Allard is a Los Angeles-based shopping reporter at Mashable covering beauty tech, dating, sex and relationships, and headphones. That basically means she puts her hair through a lot, scrolls through a lot of dating apps, and rotates through a lot of different headphones. In addition to testing out and rounding up the best products, she also covers deals for Mashable, paying an especially obsessive amount of attention to Apple deals and prices. That knowledge comes in handy when she's covering shopping holidays like Prime Day and Black Friday, which she's now done for three years at Mashable.

Dyson Airwrap i.d.
Best for the at-home hairdresser
There's no good mood like a "first few hair days after a salon blowout" mood. The latest version of Dyson's iconic hair styler puts that power in your hands on the daily. The Airwrap i.d. uses smart sensors to adjust heat and airflow to her hair type, and is available in two iterations: Curly+Coily and Straight+Wavy. Either determines a few of the six attachments included, though the fast dryer, Conical Airwrap barrel, and round volumizing brush come with both.

Lomi Electric Composter
Best for those with a low-waste lifestyle
Composting is the eco-friendly art of recycling food scraps instead of sending them to rot and produce methane in a landfill. (America's food waste problem is abysmal, BTW — the average household wastes almost a third of the food it acquires each year.) The Lomi makes composting possible without a complex outdoor setup. It's about the size of a slow cooker and silently turns food scraps to sprinkle-able garden fertilizer in a few hours — and prevents the trash can from reeking of tossed leftovers.

Here's the tea: The Ember mug is a truly next-level product for any and all hot-beverage-drinkers. Especially the slow drinkers who end up reheating the same cup of coffee three times before noon. Through Ember's app, they'll have the ability to select a preferred temperature, to which the mug will adjust on command. Just one charge will give the mug a whole hour of juice, and they can even save temperature presets for different types of drinks.
