Last weekend, a friend introduced me to her favorite store. One of the first things I saw was a top I had just purchased. She held up the tag and said, “Bet you paid more than this!” Yikes! I had. Whether you love shopping or loathe it, no one likes the feeling of paying too much. Not a week later (I’m starting to sound like a sucker here!), I was in a meeting, and a colleague said, “I never head into a shop without checking RetailMeNot to see if they have any bargains.” My first response was What is that?!?! And how can I get in on the steals my friends seem to be snagging? That’s why this month we decided to dedicate a whole issue to finding the absolute…

DOUBLE-DUTY CLEANSING WATERS They’re called “micellar waters” (micelle refers to surfactant clusters), but you don’t need water to wash your face with them. Dispense the clear liquid onto a cotton pad, then swipe on skin to get rid of makeup and cleanse in one step — no rinsing required. LAB LOWDOWN In evaluations for the GH Seal, Lab scientists confirmed that both micellar waters below removed makeup effectively without drying out skin. GH TOP LAB PICKS GH Seal holders Garnier All-in-1 Micellar Cleansing Water, $7 (above); La Roche-Posay Micellar Water, $20, CVS PURIFYING POWDER CLEANSERS These innovative powder formulas lather up when you mix them with water in your hands, cleansing and gently buffing skin.

SARA SKIRBOLL Shopping Expert for RetailMeNot @ RertailMenot What are the best sales in July? A: After analyzing the Retail-MeNot database of over half a million offers for more than 50,000 retailers, here are our wise buys for this month: NEW WARDROBE Stores clear out summer inventory to make way for fall fashion, which means swimsuits, fitness gear and warm-weather apparel will sell for a song.

Jeffrey Phillip GH Organizing Expert @jeffrey_phillip TACKLE TRUNK JUNK Sort everything from groceries to beach gear by organizing your trunk with collapsible bins.

A ROGUE WAVE HIT Tamara Loiselle like a truck, its salt water searing her eyes, filling her nose and throat and knocking the wind from her 115-pound body. Behind her lay a brilliantly white beach becoming crowded with onlookers; beyond her, two heads bobbed in the angry, roiling sea — a man and a woman who had gone past warning flags and been pulled into danger by deadly riptides. Tamara was breathless, alone and deeply afraid. “For a split second, I thought about my kids and that I could die trying to save these people,” says the 43-year-old single mom. “But I sent those thoughts back to the beach, caught my breath and kept going.” Entering the treacherous surf was the last thing Tamara, a part-time teacher from Calgary, Alberta,…

WHEN HE CAME DOWNSTAIRS one morning six years ago, Jane Hodgson’s husband, Chris, was visibly upset. “That’s it!” he said. “I’m going on a diet!” Jane was surprised — it hadn’t occurred to her that either of them needed to slim down. “Well, how much do you weigh?” she asked. “205 pounds!” he said, his voice heavy with disbelief and disgust. In shock, Jane, then 57, squeezed her eyes closed. Wow, she thought. That’s how much I weighed this morning, too. Hearing that she matched her husband pound for pound woke Jane, who lives in Hollis, NH, up to just how far her gradual weight creep had gone. Slim from her childhood through her 20s, she had put on 20 pounds after her son, Stephen, was born and then gained…

HAVE A QUESTION? E-mail askapril@good housekeeping.com. April Franzino Beauty Director @aprilfranzino My foundation has SPF. Do I need a separate sunscreen? A: Yes, you do. Even if your base makeup (foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB or CC cream) is broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, it’s unlikely that you’re getting that level of protection from it. A GH Beauty Lab study found that women tend to apply only 1/5 of the recommended amount of makeup needed to get the SPF listed on a product’s label — so it shouldn’t replace sunscreen. To ensure that skin is properly shielded, smooth on a nickelsize dollop of sunscreen for the face, like our Beauty Lab test winners at right, before you put on makeup. How can I get rid of my annoying arm bumps? A:…

SHOP THIS ISSUE Find it now at keep.com/GH. Aa Agelessness Nobody wants to be defined by her age, but eye-area skin ages faster than the rest of the face — and can make you appear up to 20 years older, an Olay study found. Why? It’s the thinnest facial skin, with the lowest moisture and elasticity. To fight back, apply a hydrating anti-aging eye cream daily. Proven GH Seal picks: b BEST BROWS To smooth and shape — and even fake a mini eyelift — brush your brows!

HAVE A QUESTION? E-mail heloise@goodhousekeeping.com I was making sugar syrup for iced tea when the phone rang. The sugar burned in my stainless steel pot, and now it has a hard black crust on the bottom. Help! — Maryann L A: Don’t worry — your pot can be saved.

Turn off the heat and let the water cool, then scrape off the crust with a metal spatula. (If necessary, repeat the process several times to get the gunk off.) Next, use a plastic scrubbie with scouring powder or baking soda to get the…

I STOOD AT THE SIDE OF A HORSE NAMED Wyn, a paintbrush in one hand and a palette of colors in the other. The musty aroma of animal sweat was in the air, and flies were buzzing all around. I stroked Wyn’s glistening hair and spoke softly to him; this was part stalling tactic, part reassurance (to him and myself) that I wouldn’t ruin his gorgeous coat. The guide had told us the horses enjoyed being painted, especially the ones who couldn’t be ridden anymore and craved socialization. I was at the stunning Miraval Resort & Spa in Arizona, thanks to my good friend Rabia, who had organized a group trip for her birthday. Rabia was a luxury travel agent, and we’d handed her the reins in planning the itinerary.…

Jaclyn London, M.S., R.D. GH Nutrition Director @jaclynlondonRD Q: Healthy foods seem so expensive. How can I eat well on a budget? A: Some of the healthiest foods aren’t that pricey! Fill up on fruits and veggies to replace items that are the costliest in terms of both your wallet and your waistline. Look for fresh produce in season, when it’s cheaper; for out-of-season produce, go for a frozen or canned version ( just avoid added syrup or salt). Then buy protein-rich essentials in bulk: Beans, lentils, nuts and seeds pack healthy fat, filling fiber and antioxidants that prolong freshness. Dairy products — milk, unsweetened Greek yogurt and omega-3– rich eggs — can be used in baking, in condiments or for breakfast to give you more bang for your buck.…
