I don’t know about you but Prime Day is just another day in my house because I do so much dang shopping on Amazon, it’s like every day is Prime Day for me. (Seriously, I’m on a first-name basis with my delivery drivers. Take care of your delivery drivers!) I do love to scour the site for great deals, though, and beauty products are among some of the best buys on offer this July 11-12. (See? Prime Day is so big it’s actually “daysss” and not “day” anymore.)
This list is packed full of beauty deals that’ll keep you looking like a whole snack, long after Prime Day has come and gone. Facial steamers, jade rollers, moisturizers and more round out our list, which also has a few “stray” products that were so great I couldn’t not include them. (I’m looking at you, steam mop.) Headphones, omega-3s for your pup and down-there care for your favorite guy also found their way onto this list. Do they fit the theme? No. But, are they great deals? You bet your Prime-lovin’ heart they are.
Smooth As Silks
Why wouldn’t you want something with the word “silk” slathered on your face? This silks triple lipid cream is packed full of ceramides, sterols and fatty acids that promise to increase the moisture in your skin by 40 percent in just one week. During Prime Day, this $50-plus cream drops by 30 percent, making it the perfect time to give it a try.
You’re On A Roll
If you’ve ever considered snagging. a jade roller and gua sha set, Prime Day is the time because this duo is nearly half off during the two-day event. These types of tools have been used for centuries to reduce puffiness, increase circulation and encourage a glowy complexion by refining pores and eliminating toxins. I love to keep mine in the refrigerator for an extra dose of coolness.
Clean Sweep
Are you pumped about the idea of a steam mop? Probably not. Are you magically going to be as happy as the woman in this photo when you’re using it? Also no. But, when you can grab a five-star-rated mop for $15 cheaper than normal, that’s something to get excited about. This one actually cleans carpets, too, and comes with two reusable microfiber pads and a fast 15-second heat-up.
Neutralize And Synergyze
I secretly cringe at products that take a perfectly spelled word that turn it into something else, but this Synergyzer from Neutralyze (that’s two words they played with) gets a pass thanks to its excellent customer reviews. This gel does a lot, from reducing redness and solving irritation to eliminating acne and correcting uneven skin tones. During Prime Day, it’s 20 percent off.
Huff And Puff
How do you apply body powder without it going everywhere? With this comfort powder puff, of course. This puff is great for applying talc-free powder, anti-chafe products and underboob sweat control solutions while still making you feel fancy. Compact, lightweight and designed for ultimate portability, you’ll be looking for reasons to use it. And, at 24 percent off, it’s worth every penny.
This Steamer Is A “Mist”-Have
There aren’t many things more relaxing than a facial but who has the time (or the money) to do that regularly? Meet the facial steamer you can use at home, delivering hot and cool aromatherapy with just the press of a button. More than $20 off during Prime Day deals, this unit has a 360-degree extendable nozzle and comes with a nine-piece acne set and face brush.
Don’t Hate, Caffeinate
Some days, caffeine is all that gets me through but I’m usually drinking it, not slathering it on my face. Just like the drink can wake you up, this caffeine eye cream wakes up tired eyes by minimizing puffiness and treating dark circles. Not only does it have caffeine but also hyaluronic acid, which is nothing short of a miracle where skincare is involved.
Put Your Best Feet Forward
The pandemic wasn’t all bad; during it, I discovered foot peel masks and promptly got addicted to the softest, smoothest feet I’ve had my entire life. These masks are infused with avocado and tea tree extract to remove calluses and treat cracked feet while also boosting collagen production to replace old skin cells. If avocado isn’t your jam, try the aloe vera, peach or strawberry versions at the same link — all 50 percent off during Amazon’s big sale.
Light Up The Night
Let’s take a short break from beauty deals to highlight another favorite Amazon gadget: this rechargeable book light that’s equipped with three colors, five brightness levels and a built-in timer. Reading at bedtime is one of my favorite pastimes and this book light with 160-hour runtime makes it a whole lot simpler. It’s perfect for taking on the go, too, so you can always enjoy your favorite book regardless of the lighting situation.
Cool Your Heels
Heel pain and similar conditions like plantar fasciitis aren’t usually life-threatening, but they can hurt so bad they feel like they are. These orthotic inserts are made of soft memory gel, are washable and reusable, and take the sting out of PF, over-pronation, metatarsalgia and other painful foot conditions. Self-sticking, these work in all types of shoes from your favorite tennies to those heels you dread stepping into.
Tone-r Up
Facial products usually rely on the same ingredients but this hydrating toner uses a unique addition — cranberry — you don’t see as frequently. A three-in-one product, this toner cleanses, tones and hydrates, infusing skin with protective antioxidants to leave it glowing and refreshed. Packed with cranberry extract, phytonutrients and essential fatty acids, you can snag it for 30 percent off during Prime Day.
Raked Over The Charcoal
When you think about charcoal, you probably don’t associate it with skincare but this peel-off mask will have you rethinking things. Charcoal is great for detoxing the skin, peeling away dirt and debris better than pore strips without damaging skin or removing its necessary oils. While charcoal is doing its thing, you’re also getting a steady dose of niacinamide and squalane. Grab it while it’s 36 percent off.
Put Your Foot Down
Prime Day comes at the right time of year for those of us who like dresses and skirts and flip-flops and strappy heels because this electric foot file is 10 percent off during the sale. Its high-powered motor effortlessly buffs away thick and tough calluses to reveal baby-soft feet fast. One reviewer said, “… finally something that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.”
Moisturizer Without The B.S.
Mad at your moisturizer? There’s no better time to switch things up than during Prime Day when this moisturizer with spf is 20 percent cheaper than usual. This one does it all: Prevents wrinkles, fades sun spots and moisturizes with hyaluronic acid, green tea and vitamin E. The SPF here is no joke either. Basically, you’re getting a great moisturizer and sun protection all in one.
Beyond Repair
If you do much traveling, you know how frustrating it can be trying to pack all of your liquid toiletries. Eliminate a couple of products with these anti-aging facial serum capsules. This little powerhouse smooths wrinkles, brightens and firms skin and nourishes for a softer, more radiant complexion. The best part? You can pop a few in your cosmetics case and take up virtually no room,
These Buds Are For You
We can’t just talk about beauty products all day, can we? The deals on Amazon during Prime Day run the gamut from electronics to clothes. These wired earbuds are great to have on hand even if you already have a preferred pair of earbuds. Thirty percent off during Prime Day, these headphones are iPhone compatible, delivering crystal-clear audio with deep bass.
Fit And Trim
Should we talk about down-there care? I’m not talking about us, ladies; after all, why should we be the only ones who have to groom every square inch of our body hair? This groin trimmer is 34 percent off during the sale, making it the perfect opportunity to drop a pretty solid hint on the man in your life. It’s dubbed “The Ballber.” That’s it — I’ve got nothin’.
Nailed It
Have you seen the price of trips to the nail salon these days? If I hadn’t stopped going years ago, it would be enough for me to seek out other options. This electric manicure and pedicure set files, buffs, grinds and smooths fingernails and toenails flawlessly. Right now, you can snag it for 10 percent off. You’ll save money with its first use.
About Face
If I had time to sit with my eyes closed and indulge in only my own thoughts, I would for sure do it with this nano ionic hot mist steamer aimed right at my noggin. It’s the ultimate in at-home relaxation in a mini size you can tote from room to room or from home to wherever. Your lotions, potions and serums will go on like a dream after using this.
Quiet As A Mouse
I think most of us just click, click, click our way through the day and don’t pay much attention to the sound our computer mouse is making, but I recognize it could be “too much” for some or too noisy in some situations. This silent wireless mouse works with desktops or laptops and is 20 percent off during Amazon’s Prime Day deals.
No Time For Games
I know it seems hard to believe since it’s July and all but Thanksgiving and Christmas are hiding just around the corner. This Letterpool board game is a great pick-up during Amazon’s big sale at less than $10 (or 20 percent off). This word-based game (my favorite, are you surprised?) is great for teens and adults and can be set up and ready to play in minutes.
Wipe Out
Remember the Oxy-Clean acne pads of our youth? (Or, my youth, anyway.) Consider these acne wipes the grown-up version, with the same dual-sided, acne-clearing potential. These pads have medical-grade mandelic acid and salicylic acid to give acne the ol’ one-two punch. A container of 100 wipes is 20 percent off during the two-day Prime event. Stock up? Don’t mind if I do.
Snail Mail
I’ve been reading a lot about the power of “snails” when it comes to skincare and while it totally grosses me out, I believe the proof is in the pudding. This snail collagen eye cream is 82 percent pure snail mucin extract and collagen for all-in-one anti-aging, nourishing and rejuvenating glory. Reviewers call it lightweight and hydrating; I call it a great deal for 15 percent off.
Can’t Take The Heat
You don’t need expensive products or lengthy salon visits to do something really indulgent for yourself. This electric thermal heat cap is meant for deep conditioning treatments with 10 heat levels and three timer settings. Enjoy the one-minute heat-up time and then sit back and relax as you get great absorption and soft, silky strands. During Prime Day, this hair gadget is 10 percent off.
Bigger Fish To Fry
Your BFF (Best Furry Friend) deserves a little pampering, too. This wild Alaskan salmon oil supports their skin and gives them a soft, silky, shiny coat (no thermal heat cap required). In addition to the benefits we’ve already talked about, it’s also great for their bones and joints. Simply mix it with food for the best results. Grab it for 20 percent off during Amazon’s two-day sale.
A Vitamin C Change
Sometimes, reviews speak for themselves — like this one: “I’ve used Somme Institute products since I was first introduced to them at a Nordstrom spa in Southern California. So it’s been over ten years, and the results speak for themselves. No one can ever guess my age as I always get mistaken for 10-15 years younger.” Buy this brightening facial serum during Prime Day and get a full-sized product free.
Spill The Tea
Tea has so many uses in beauty products. From improving skin’s appearance to reducing sun damage, everything from green tea to white tea is finding a place in skincare. This white tea purifying water-based cleanser has a near-perfect five-star rating on Amazon, and for two days you can snag it for 30 percent off. Other great ingredients like cranberry, raspberry, mango extracts and moisturizing shea butter make this one a must-try.
Aww, Nuts
Ain’t no nuts like Happy Nuts, the namesake behind this comfort cream that’s a lotion-to-powder formula designed to neutralize odor, soothe skin and stop chafing. This unscented product is free of all the bad stuff like parabens, silicone, sulfates, alcohol and gluten to deliver a truly comforting experience between, um, your legs. Or, your partner’s legs. You know what? Just buy it; this is uncomfortable.
Like Night And Day
When I find a new product line that I love, I go all in changing up every piece of my routine. Sorry, beauty product shopaholic here. This moisturizer set from No B.S. has both a daytime cream with sun protection and a hydrating night cream filled with jojoba and apricot oils as well as hyaluronic acid. During Prime Day, the set is more than 20 percent off.
Fresh As A Rose
You’re probably asking yourself, “Why is there a rose quartz gua sha set in this list when we’ve already talked about a jade version?” Well, for starters, rose quartz and jade have different properties. Many experts in the field consider rose quartz to be more calming and soothing. You can’t go wrong with either, although this set is nearly half off during the two-day event.
