Read More And with all the money you’re saving, I’m seeing some fancy lattes in your future. I'm a seasoned Shopping Editor with more than 10 years of experience covering travel (my favorite), home decor, fashion, and pet products. Prime Day can be *confusing* — we’re using our extensive shopping knowledge and tracking price history to give you the most accurate pricing information and vetted discounts/original prices. FYI, some of the “regular” prices listed on the sides of some listings are true original prices, some (when the best deals are Prime-exclusive) are lesser discounts that non-Prime members can take advantage of. We’ll let you know everything you need to know! FYI — deals move *fast*. We’ll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can’t catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the week to see our latest updates as the deals change! Note: To get the best prices on some of these deals you have to be a Prime member, so if you aren’t already, sign up for a free 30 day trial here. Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation. Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product, and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer, so if you're older, that's something to keep in mind. Overall, beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." —AJ Bond Price: $9.50+ (originally $25; available in 40 shades and a mini size) Promising reviews: "I saw on TikTok and ordered immediately. I am really picky with leggings as I refuse to buy them unless the back seam is in a V shape, which makes the glutes look better. These are amazing, true to size, I get tons of compliments, buttery soft material, perfect for the gym or just day to day wear." —K. Mcintyre "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big, baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. But the sweats are not as cute and don’t give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my waist, but not in a way that’s uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." —Sarah Price: $14.24 (typically $29.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XXL, three inseam lengths, and 23 colors) — and shop all the Sunzel deals here Promising review: "This scent has become my spring/summer go-to!!! It is amazing and lasts all day. If you love sweet, vanilla, and fruity, then this is the scent!" —A. Manibusan Price: $15.60 (originally $29; available in three scents) Promising review: "Love this necklace! It’s dainty and good quality. I have started wearing it every day. I got an M for my daughter’s name. The price was very affordable for something simple but elegant." —Amanda Price: $15 (originally $42; available in every letter) Check out a TikTok of the Ouidad gel in action. Promising review: "This defines my curls and keeps them HYDRATED and Shiny for DAYS during the hot summer! Five-day hair never looked this good! This is the ONLY product I have tried in the last eight years since I've worn my hair curly that I don't worry about my hair in the humidity and heat. After days in the heat this week, 95+ degrees, on the beach with the wind, my curls usually would become HUGE and full of frizz because of the humidity! This product, I am on day five! Still have defined curls! Usually, I get two to three days at best! This feels like a mix between a Gel and a Serum, has a GREAT SLIP, a little goes a long way, and my thick curls hold definition for days and feel super hydrated." —Jessica Price: $12.98 (originally $26) — and shop all Ouidad deals here Promising review: "Magic in a bottle. I didn’t really expect much from this — had it on my beauty list for over six months. Finally decided to give it a try when nothing else was working for my fine lines and acne. Holy crap! It WORKS! It boosted the effects of my other skin care items (retinol and AHA/BHA/PHA toner) and really really helped my skin. I’m 39 and I try to take good care of my skin. This helped so much! My fine lines are almost gone and my acne has never been better! My skin glows! It glows! I can honestly say this is a game changer! I’m shook!" —MyssLynx Price: $12.99 (typically $25; this is a Prime-exclusive deal, non-Prime members can get it for $18.50) — and shop all Cosrx deals here Promising review: "This lip balm set is pure happiness in a pack — I’m obsessed. First off, the flavors are so good. Not overpowering, just light, sweet, and actually enjoyable every time you put it on. It makes me want to keep reapplying, which honestly says a lot. The formula is super smooth and hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. My lips stay soft for hours, and I don’t feel like I have to constantly reapply like with other balms. And can we talk about how cute these are? The packaging alone is a whole vibe. Throw one in your bag, your car, your desk — you’re covered everywhere." —Angela D. Promising review: "I love that this product is an all-in-one! It saves me so much space when I travel, and the products are high-quality, too. The lightest brow pencil is still a little dark for blondes like me, but the other shades complement me perfectly. I like the lip liner the best; it easily elevates a simple lip look!" —Sam Price: $11.98 (originally $20; available in three shades) — and shop all Alleyoop deals here Promising review: "Cute as heck. My little brother likes it. Very soft and squishy, but holds shape well. Seems larger than I expected for the price and very well constructed. Good value for the money." —SiejeCraft It contains 133 pieces and is made for ages 9 and up. The larger daisy measures over 7.5 inches and the smaller daisy measures over 6.5 inches. Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I have already. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die so you can enjoy these all year long. The colors are bright, cheery and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop Price: $9.99 (typically $14.99) — and shop all the Lego deals here Check out a TikTok of the scalp renewal brush in action. Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody that has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker Price: $7.99 (typically $12; available in four colors) — and shop all the Kitsch deals here It's suitable for all hair types! Reviewers with everything from straight, fine hair to thick, curly hair said it worked for them. According to the brand, this was the top-selling hair serum in Korea from Nielsen sales data collection from 2012–2022. Promising review: "I love how my hair feels when I apply this serum. It feels soft and manageable and the best thing is, no matter how many times I reapply, it never feels heavy or greasy. Not sure how it achieves this magic, but it is great for when you want shine and softness on an easy hair day or protection on a heat day too." —Lorraine Shin Yoo Price: $13.29 (originally $18.99) — and shop all Mise En Scene deals here Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. Promising review: "Pure magic. This stuff blurs and conceals fine lines like I have never seen. Also stops me from being shiny and oily, but keeps skin glowy." —Tia C Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim Price: $15 (originally $25; non-Prime members can get it for $20) — and shop all the Laneige deals here Promising review: "I never leave reviews but I had to praise this product. This is seriously a holy grail staple to your makeup. I've tried dozens of primers, and none have even come close to this. It doesn't matter if you're using oil-based or silicone-based makeup. It will all blend and sit seamlessly. I have dry skin and oily skin, so finding something that suits both needs is hard. It doesn't get patchy either, which is something I struggle with. But THIS primer is absolutely perfect. 10/10. Would give 100 stars if I could!!" —Placeholder Price: $10.99 (originally $17; this is a Prime-exclusive deal, non-prime members can get it for $14.99) — and shop all Touch in Sol deals here Promising review: "So cute and they work great! The light is the perfect brightness to see, but not too bright that it’s annoying in the middle of the night. Changing the colors is easy, and I like how it goes off when there’s enough light in the room." —Jas Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it’s pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It’s an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don’t mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —Nala Price: $14.25 for four (originally $19) — and shop all the Biodance deals here Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. Feel so better knowing I’m protecting my skin daily now. Also, there is zero white residue. It gives me a nice glowy glass skin effect, which I really like. Super happy with this purchase." —Kristin "I LOVE this product, I swear by it, and I’m pretty sure this is my third or fourth time purchasing it! As a woman of color, finding a sunscreen that didn’t give me a white cast / ashy finish was very hard, so I am so glad I’ve come across this product! It goes on the skin so smoothly. I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen, and I have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I don’t leave the house without this; I always keep it on me! It gives you a glow and makes your skin feel so much softer. I also feel like some of my dark spots have faded due to this product! Also, I have VERY sensitive skin, so everything breaks me out, but this has not!" —Sierra Keyes Price: $10.80 (originally $18) — and shop all Innisfree deals here Promising review: "Love these for so many reasons. Lightweight, elastic waistband for a comfortable fit, and don’t forget about the pockets. They are TTS (wearing M) and can be worn as a casual outfit or as sleepwear. Highly recommend and so many colors to choose from!" —Karyn's Kloset Price: $7.89+ (typically $12.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors; not all colors/sizes are on sale) Patchology is a small business that specializes in beauty products like patches, masks, and skincare. Promising review: "This is my FAVORITE brand! It hydrates my skin and reduces puffiness, and I don’t fear breakouts or reactions like I do with other brands. The birthday packaging is so cute, and I loved the smell. I want 100 more of these!" —Kaylie Endres Promising review: "I like that these don't slide off. I wish I could just leave them on all the time. They are really moisturizing and cooling. I notice when taking them off, my undereye is immediately brighter." —Amazon Customer Price: $14 (originally $20) — and shop all Beauty of Joseon deals here Promising review: "As a freckled person, I like using these kinds of pens to emphasize certain freckles I already have or turn a pimple into a mole by placing a few dots on the spots I want without blending them out. I bought shade 01 and I really like it so far! The pen itself and the nib look and function the same as the Beaubble x Ruddy Berry freckle pen, at a much more accessible price. The main difference between them is the colors: Peripera’s is a warm reddish brown and Beaubble’s is a yellow leaning neutral brown - but in practice, this doesn’t make much of a difference to me. The freckles stay on well as long as you’ve let them dry down properly (I powder them lightly just in case)." —Maylady Price: $9.90 (originally $13.99, available in two shades) —and shop all Peripera deals here Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa "I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMae Price: $9.90+ (typically $14.90+, available in three sizes) — and shop all Mixsoon deals here The keychain will come empty *but* it is intended for you to fill it up with product from the included jelly pot. Promising review: "So so adorable! It came packaged so well and came with the keychain! I bought two of these and got the color Squeezed and Rosy Glaze. I also bought a little silicone stick so I don't dirty my hands while putting this on!" —rosiemify Price: $8.99 (typically $12.99, available in 12 shades) Promising review: "This is my fifth day of using these masks daily, and I’m already in love! Can’t wait to repurchase. I use it for 30 minutes after a bath, and before I use a toner and the Mixsoon bean serum! The combination of everything really helps! I’ve also been exfoliating every other day! I don’t know what the magic is, but I’m impressed with the improvement, and I think the price for the daily supply of masks is awesome! I’m in LOVE." —Ana Pilar Brito Garcia Price: $15.75 (typically $21, available in five other versions) Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers. Promising review: "I am new to mixing cocktails, having never mixed them at home. This made the process easy. The end result was great. I bought a package of 12. I have shared the packets with friends and family so they could also try. I will be a returning customer." —Lee Price: $11.99 (typically $14.99; available in thirteen other flavors and a variety pack). Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action. Promising review: "My favorite dry shampoo! It smells great and truly is sweat-activated. I wear it during some heavy workouts, and I can smell it, and it helps keep my hair from being greasy if I have plans after." —Marianna Stutts Price: $6.99+ (typically $9.99; available in two sizes) Promising review: "Bought this by accident because I thought these were baby flash cards. Saw these were actually a card game and tried it with my husband and fell in love with this game. It's fun and competitive :D" —ChocorateChippu The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Here's what my colleague Heather Braga has to say: "I've personally tested this out, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice 'Instant Awake' on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba, and despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price...10/10 from me." Promising review: "I used to use the Becca under-eye product and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." —Ariel O "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Price: $4.80 (originally $6; available in two shades) — check out more Catrice deals here. Promising review: "This wallet is impressively slim and lightweight while still holding the essential cards securely. The stretchy material makes inserting and removing cards smooth, and even with several cards inside, it never feels bulky. The middle pocket is ideal for your most-used card and offers quick access. It fits comfortably in any pocket, making it perfect for quick errands, travel, or minimalist everyday carry. The stitching is solid, and the simple, clean design feels durable and stylish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to downsize their wallet without sacrificing functionality." —Richard MO Price: $10.63+ (originally $16; available in 11 styles) This set includes: 28 strips, one prep pad, one nail file, and one wooden stick. To apply the strips, just use your palm to warm them up. Once the strips are warmed, they can be easily pulled for the perfect fit on your nails. Note: If you live somewhere that doesn't get sun often, you can still use a UV lamp. You only need to pop your nails in for about 5 seconds! Here is what my colleague Bek O'Connell has to say: "I'm a big Heyhae fan! I struggle with stick-on nails because they always look too big and clunky (think: child with olives on their fingertips). I'm unwilling to file down my nail beds to get them to sit right, so I usually opt for traditional gel manicures, even though they're expensive. These strips are a fantastic replacement: They're affordable, easy to apply, and actually look like a real manicure. It's too cold to go outside without gloves right now, so I cured these with a UV lamp, and they came out great! If you have experience with stickers, you can master these — I believe in you!" Promising review: "I’ve been using other brand semi-cured strips and decided to give these a try not expecting much. I’m so glad I was wrong! They are thin, pliable and the sizes actually fit ALL my nails! Usually they’re too wide or two narrow. Application was a breeze and the adhesive feels so secure once it’s on your nails. So far they’ve held up to moderate wear and tear at the barn. I will only be buying these from now on!" —Nicole Price: $7.99 (originally $9.99, available in 12 styles) After use, simply discard used leaves, rinse Nessie, or toss her in the dishwasher for an easy clean. Promising review: "I bought this for the cuteness factor, of course. But it actually works great as far as functionality as well. Just check that the surfaces line up and aren’t twisted when you close it. As a bonus, not only is it dishwasher-safe, but it even lies nice and flat in the dishwasher, so the inside surfaces can be properly cleaned!" —Amazon Customer Price: $9.95+ (originally $14.95; available in three colors and seven other whimsical styles) — and shop all Ototo deals here —Quirky Things On Sale For Prime Day You Won’t Be Able To Resist —What Parents Should Actually Buy During Prime Day —Things You’ll Want To Splurge On During Prime Day —Things At Their Lowest-Ever Prices This Prime Day And check out our roundups of the best deals across a variety of categories, including home, beauty, food & kitchen, practical, under-$25, TikTok finds, and more.
