In April this year, we came into contact with a large number of products, from the perfect heat-dissipating sheets needed in summer to the earrings that won't poke you during sleep. Some can be forgotten, while others leave a permanent impression. Because we are committed to highlighting the best products, we decided to plan a monthly review of our favorite products.
Please read on and see the products we have tested. As we go deeper into 2024, we have seen enough of these products.

Eureka Royal Slender Office Chair
Tobey Grumet Segal/CNN stressed that there is no doubt that this royal ultra-thin ergonomic office chair is a extravagance (although it is sold at a price of more than 200 US dollars). But if, like me, you need a chair to support your back, hips and legs at work, it is definitely worth it. It is not only suitable for all heights and weights, but also very noble as an office chair, which looks good in any room. I have beige leather, but you also have brown ones. -Toby Grumet Siegel, comment editor $640 $430 at Eureka ErgonomicEli&Elm weighted the quilt.
Eli&Elm: It's always hard for me to fall asleep and find anything helpful. That is, until I started using this Eli&Elm weighted quilt. The weight of this thing is perfect-not too heavy, but not light at all. It makes you feel comfortable and can fall asleep soon. Gabriella Triolo, Social Coordinator From $140 at Eli and ElmKaishanyi automatic espresso machine KF8
Amina Lake Abdelrahman/CNN emphasized that there are various types of coffee machines in my apartment: single service coffee machines, pour coffee machines, French press coffee machines and so on. However, it never occurred to me that I need a coffee machine at home-it seems too complicated to use when I am sleepy in the morning. But now that I have tested this new fully automatic espresso machine from Kaishanyi in the past month, I can understand why these machines are so extravagant. Just press a few buttons, it can make coffee shop-quality drinks. I never thought I could make almond milk cappuccino at home, but it's too easy to make it with this machine! My favorite part is that my fiance and I have separate profiles for our favorite drinks, which means I can press fewer buttons to make my favorite coffee (you can customize the concentration, concentration, temperature, size, etc.). Amina Lake Abdelrahman, Home and Gift Editor $2,000 at KitchenaidMarycele candle heating lamp
Amina Lake Abdelrahman/CNN stressed that I have seen these candle heater lights on social media for some time, but I always thought they were a gimmick-until I tried one myself. Now, I am fascinated: my candle can last so long, because the wax will not burn out, and I don't have to worry about an open flame on my bedside table. Warm light bulbs melt wax without any smoke, so the smell of candles seems stronger. It also gives my room a comfortable atmosphere. In addition, I appreciate the built-in timer (two hours, four hours or eight hours) and adjustable brightness setting of this model. Amina Lake Abdelrahman, Home and Gift Editor $50 $36 at AmazonHomedics 11-inch drift sand scene
Lindsey Smith/CNN stressed that this year is the year when I decided to enter a quiet era, and I was completely fascinated by this Homedics Sandscape. It's really relaxing to watch it. It keeps me from scrolling my phone endlessly. I like to set it at the end of the day, read or keep a diary, and just live in the present. There are hundreds of designs to choose from, making it easy to set up and use the application. I think it's also a great gift-especially since Mother's Day is coming. -Lindsay Smith, deputy editor-in-chief $181 at AmazonFill recovery 2
Rachel Dennis /CNN stressed that it is always hard for me to wake up in the morning. what can I say? A girl likes sleeping. However, with Hatch's 2-in-1 alarm clock and sound machine, my morning is a little calmer now. When my alarm clock rings, I don't feel violently shaken up, but gently shaken up from my sleep. I put it on my dresser, and it was set to light up gradually in five minutes, and played a song called "Happy Morning". In addition to being a pleasant wake-up tool, Restore 2 also helped me get a better sleep. Hatch's choice of sleeping sounds, including the dishwasher and dryer, is the sound that I fall asleep now. Rachel Dennis, editorial coordinator $200 at HatchAititi bamboo Lyocell cotton satin sheet set
I'm trying to be more environmentally friendly, buying as clean things as possible, or shopping in brand stores that give back in some way. When I was looking for new sheets, I met a company called Ettitude, which was certified as climate neutral and used renewable resources such as bamboo. According to its mission statement, this kind of bedding is made of technology that does not contain harmful chemicals and plastics, so I was immediately intrigued to see if its quality and feel can stand the test of competitors. I don't like silk sheets or pillowcases very much. Although I know it's better for your skin and the latter is better for your hair, silk sheets make me sick. Ettitude's iconic cotton satin suit is as soft as silk, without the feeling of silk, and my body temperature remains perfect all night. For a middle-priced person, they feel very luxurious, and I have been recommending them to everyone. Rachel quigley, Executive Editor. From $169 at EttitudeCami indoor/outdoor ceramic round table
Rachel Quigley/CNN stressed that when I saw this in West Elm, Brooklyn and fell in love with it, I was looking for an unusual bedside table for my new apartment. I'm glad I met it in real life, because I'm not sure I will order it by seeing it online. To me, it is more like blue-green than gray-green, which matches my blue-green chair and gray sofa very well. It looks much more expensive than 0. I like that it can also be used as an outdoor table. It is easy to move, does not need to be assembled, and it is white. Rachel quigley, Executive Editor.

Brumate Paragon hydration pack
Gabriella Triolo/CNN emphasized that when I was hiking or even walking, it was always difficult for me to hold my mug. It's very frustrating not to be able to free your hands, so when I first tried Brumate's hydrating bag, I was deeply moved. It feels light, but it can hold a lot of water (and keep it cold), suitable for all your outdoor adventures. It even comes with other pockets for anything else-perfect for my phone and keys. Gabriella Triolo, Social Coordinator $150 at BruMateBioLite headlamp 325
On a recent trip to Ecuador, I threw the old version of this headlight into my bag, and I am grateful that I did. Although my version does have some confusing moments, I don't know what it wants to tell me, and I don't know how I got into one mode or another, but I still appreciate its bright beam, adjustable angle and various modes, whether I am hiking through the jungle at night to find wild animals or dealing with unexpected rolling blackouts in town. -Renabehar, text editor $50 at BioLite Energybeauty
Solara Suncare fortune-telling coloring brightening serum SPF 30
Sophie Shaw /CNN emphasizes that color-changing sunscreen is a new beauty product. Solara Suncare's fortune-telling sunscreen has two flexible shades, which can change according to the wearer's skin color and add a touch of luster (of course, SPF 30 can also be used to protect the skin). It feels like a light emulsion, rich in skin care ingredients such as vitamin C, peptides and hyaluronic acid. I always use it instead of other skin color products. I like it as a transparent moisturizing product. Compared with other popular color-changing sunscreens on the market, this sunscreen has smaller coverage and lighter skin feeling, so I expect to use it all summer. -Sophie Shaw, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Beauty $64 at Solara SuncareSunset on Capri Island.
Amina Lake Abdelrahman/CNN emphasized that I have been using the same perfume (Yves Saint Laurent Libre) for more than three years. Since it is like the greenhouse perfume at sunset in Capri Island, no other fragrance has really attracted my attention. This perfume smells of peaches, oranges and amber, which is super floral and fresh-I know I will use it all summer. Amina Lake Abdelrahman, Home and Gift Editor $100 at Glasshouse FragrancesJVN air-drying cream
Carolina Gazal/CNN stressed that in a recent profligacy of Sephora, I intend to buy JVN nourishing and brightening drops. When I found the air dry cream, I knew I had to test it-especially when summer came. After smearing a healthy ball on my wet hair, I was really shocked at how soft and clear my curly hair became. It even smells like summer, mixed with grapefruit, orange, honey and white flowers. Even better, this product does not contain sulfate and silicone, so I can rest assured that I will not soak my hair in chemicals. Well done, Jonathan Van Ness. -carolina Gazal, Assistant Test Writer $26 at JVN HairAveda curl definition primer
Aveda I've been preparing for a summer hairstyle without calories, which means it's time to put down the hair straightener and pick up the moisturizing products. Aveda's curly hair definition primer is carefully made and tested for all types of curly hair patterns, which means it helps to create the most elastic and curly hair. I am amazed that this spray can eliminate and define my typical unruly curly hair, while conditioning my hair with fresh lemon, bergamot, orange and floral fragrance. -carolina Gazal, Assistant Test Writer $41 at NordstromMutha oil to gel cleanser
Rachel Dennis /CNN emphasized that I have been using Mutha's new oil gel cleanser as the first step in my double cleansing days. Not only does it make my sensitive skin feel clean, but it is not deprived of water, and it is easy to decompose any eye makeup I may wear that day. In addition, although it contains no extra perfume, this cleanser has a lovely floral fragrance, which will not make people feel uncomfortable or irritating. Rachel Dennis, editorial coordinator $42 at MuthaGucci L 'Obscur lengthen mascara.
Tamara Kraus /CNN stressed that although I really want to buy a brand-name handbag that you will wear all your life, it needs great persuasion to convince me that a brand-name mascara is worth spending a lot of money. As long as I keep wearing mascara, the mascara in the drugstore works well. But when I had the chance to try Gucci's L 'Obscur mascara, everything changed. The applicator is very accurate and easy to apply. Most importantly, as a person with thin and flat eyelashes, this kind of thing will become thick-this is exactly what I want. I have prepared two coats. If I want to dress up, three are the best. Will I still be unable to buy mascara for ? Sure, but I will also throw this one into the mixture. Needless to say, it looks chic in my cosmetic bag and makes me feel fancy in it. -Tamara Klaus, Senior Lifestyle Editor $36 at SephoraRare beautiful soft-pinched luminous powder blush
Carolina Gazal/CNN emphasizes rare beauty and recently released a new series of luminous blush. I know I must get one. I chose "soft peach color", which is more like orange and apricot than other blush colors. I admit that I am impressed by the shiny effect, medium coverage and constructability of the powder cake. This blush is a great bronze summer color, suitable for the coming warm weather. -carolina Gazal, Assistant Test Writer $26 at SephoraCurlsmith root enhanced spray
Toby Grumet Siegel /CNN emphasized that I have curly hair. And like many of us with curly hair, I don't particularly like it. Most of the time, I use my Dyson air cushion to solve problems, but when the weather gets warmer, I tend to use natural ones. That's why I like these Curlsmith products, which are specially created for people with all kinds of textured hair. Although I prefer curly hair conditioning oil-in-oil cream as a disposable product, I especially like this hair root spray, which makes my zigzag curly hair still stand out after washing for a day or two. I can't wait to put it in my suitcase and spend my summer vacation. -Toby Grumet Siegel, comment editor $28 at UltaDPHue color dream
I am very cautious about using any household hair dye products because I spend too much time in the beauty salon. However, I made an exception to this new semi-permanent dyeing color, which only adds luster and dimension to any type of hair-even brown hair like me. I used cool blonde hair, which not only enhanced the dark color, but also acted like a toner, giving my blonde highlights a gorgeous boost. I will definitely make this part of my monthly appointment with stylists. If you want to join the DPHue revolution, you can choose from eight different colors (extend your color for several months). -Toby Grumet Siegel, comment editor $32 at DPHueSud Scrub antibacterial silicone body scrubber
Amina Lake Abdelrahman/CNN emphasized that I have been using Sud Scrub body washer for more than a month, and I have officially become a fan of it. I used to use ordinary loofahs, and I changed them on time every month, because they became thick and long. But Sud scrub is antibacterial and very durable, so its design life is at least one year (it still looks exactly the same as when I got it). It takes some time to get used to it-mainly because it doesn't bubble as easily as ordinary loofah-but I always feel clean after taking a shower. Amina Lake Abdelrahman, Home and Gift Editor $30 at AmazonSaie Glowy Super Skin Foundation
Carolina Gazal/CNN stressed that I have been trying to stick to my daily skin care, so when I found that Saie's foundation was considered as 85% skin care, I knew I had to try it. I found it so breathable that I felt that I didn't use foundation at all. I really like that it is rich in antioxidants and locks in water, thanks to sugar-derived squalane and water ounce technology. -carolina Gazal, Assistant Test Writer $40 at SaieSachajuan ocean spray curly hair mousse
Lindsey Smith/CNN emphasized that I didn't eat Mu Si in the past because I hated the crunchy feeling it left me. This is completely different. It gives me a good grip without creaking. It smells great, too, and incredibly light, and it can last all day at the same time. If you have fine hair, it can also create a lot of volume. A little is enough. This bottle of wine will last for several months. -Lindsay Smith, deputy editor-in-chief $45 at AmazonHero cosmetics powerful patch duo
Joe Bloss/CNN stressed that I recently improved my skin care program, but even so, an ugly stain appeared the night before I took pictures of my recent engagement. Perfect timing, right? I rushed to Target and found these Hero acne patches, which cost only a few dollars. The overnight patches worked like magic. Its performance on my face is worse than expected, so I know that if I don't have time to have a good sleep at night, the daytime version-included in this multi-piece set, it should be even less obvious-will appear. -Editorial Coordinator Joe Bross $7 at TargetSally Hansen vitamin e nail and cuticle oil
Goal I often cook and bake at home, which means I have to keep washing dishes-and my hands-which leads to dry skin and cracked cuticle forever. Every time I use this cuticle oil, my cuticle and surrounding skin look and feel healthy again; This irritation has been eliminated, and I have an additional benefit, which is to ensure that my long acrylic nails painted with professional pigments become the focus, not dry and irritated skin. The bottle is very small, because a drop or two on each finger means the maximum coverage. —Katelyn Gendron, senior search engine optimization manager $66 $6 at Targettechnology
Alien AW 3225 QF 4QD organic light-emitting diode game display
Henry T. Casey/CNN emphasized that he abandoned a very humble LG monitor and replaced it with a gorgeous 4K·QD· OLED monitor, which is my favorite workstation upgrade this year. I like this curved monitor very much. It often makes me break my basic work rules and go back to my work chair and desk after work. The game looks great on this 32-inch screen, such as Gate 3 of Bode. Astario's judgment smirk is clearly presented, and the burning explosion exudes perfect warmth. Oh, in addition to the 240 Hz refresh rate of fast-moving video games, it also has Dolby Vision, which helps to ensure that Spider-Man: Crossing the Spider World looks right when it is played on Netflix. Oh, since this panel provides a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits, please make sure that you try all the high dynamic range (HDR) options through the settings. -Henry T. Casey, electronic writer From $350 at DellKobo Libra color
The e-reader world in 2024 is a bit monotonous, at least from their black, white and gray tones. Enter Kobo Libra Colour, one of two new color screen electronic ink devices, which has just come into the market and is impressive. Its colorful panels make the cover lifelike and help make comic books look more real. Libra Colour also provides physical buttons for turning pages and navigating menus, which Amazon did not provide after killing Kindle Oasis. In addition, it supports page handwriting better than Kindle Scribe, although it requires an optional stylus sold separately. -Henry T. Casey, electronic writerRead our comments.
