16 Amazon Beauty Deals We Swear By
A curated list of some of my favorite Amazon Prime Day Deals
I prepped so much for this sale. Brittany (my best friend and assistant) and I worked all weekend together. It was really fun. She was all in on Saturday. Then came in on Sunday hungover. She got to test out the Pillow Cube, though - and agrees it is awesome! Thankfully James came to our rescue with a fan and a Taco Bell delivery.
Big sale days on Instagram are intolerable. Your Instagram feed becomes a QVC channel whose hosts switch every 30 seconds. “This never goes on sale - RUN!” The fake urgency of it all. As I discussed in my previous email, there is a lot of pressure on us from all angles to sell the most we have ever sold - just like any other sales job. I love that I have the privilege of doing this full-time, but as a people-pleasing “honor student,” I struggle with these days. What do I post? How do I prioritize what is posted and when knowing that your story views (how many people see your stories) tank the more stories you add.
You cannot see how you are performing during the day, which is hard for someone like me. It feels like I studied really hard for a test, and then forgot everything once I wrote my name down. How do I know if I passed or failed?!
I overthink everything and then freeze. So I woke up today and told myself “ just post.” Don’t look at the numbers. Just keep posting the things you love. So that is what I am doing today. I am not letting myself look at story views or clicks. I am just posting the things that I love and are on sale.
For Prime Day, some of the best deals are always going to be beauty. You see discounts that you do not usually see - even on the brands site. Like Living Proof - 30% off? Great deal.
I broke down some of my favorite beauty deals by category with some honorable mentions. They are all mentioned from left to right!
Top Skincare Favorites
Avene Cicalfate - 30% off - This is a must- have for anyone. It is almost a first-aid remedy for dry skin, burns, and eczema. I use this anytime I have cried a lot and my eyes start to burn from eyelid eczema. Missy also swears by it for sunburns too - helps bring down inflammation and burning!
Revision Lip Replenisher - 30% off - I do not think I have ever seen it this cheap. A nightstand must. It is STICKY. You can apply it at night and wake up in the morning and it will still be on. I use it every night.
InnisFree Clay Mask - 30% off - This is under $20 full price, but a great deal 30% off. I have started to use this mask every week because my breakouts were out of control. This has helped SO much. I was using the Caudalie mask before this, and while it was good, this is just as effective and half the price.
Kate Somerville Delikate Recovery Cream - If you have dry skin or sensitized skin, this is the moisturizer you need. It is not like a regular moisturizer - it is almost like a balm - it is THICCC. I did started to use this past winer because it is always when my face eczema acts up, but not only did not I see the eczema - I also was able to continue to use my tretinoin during winter — and even increase the frequency.
Clean Towels - I thought these were so dumb when I first saw them. Missy, of course, bought them. But she has acne prone skin, so I understood why. Why dry your face with a dirty towel after you just cleaned it? And no one likes doing laundry all the time to always have a clean one. Then I used one and was like THIS IS NICEEE. I use mine to dry my hands in the morning after washing them before I put my contacts in. NO LINT. Then I save it and let it dry and use it that night. Then I save it again to wash my skin or use as a cleaning cloth. Ive been through several boxes now and this is the cheapest they get!
Honorable mention - this mask. THE GLOWIEST skin. Perfect for event prep.
Top Haircare Favorites
Epres Bond Repair - 25% off - This is a bond repair treatment that you spray in your hair before taking a shower. The brand gifted it to me because honestly I had no desire to try another bond repair treatment. However, I love it! You just add the little vial of liquid and some water and then spray your hair until it is saturated. Wait ten minutes and then shower. Using this in addition to the Redken has helped keep my hair soft and strong through bleaching and damage.
Living Proof Advanced Dry Shampoo - 30% off - This is as low as it goes! I like this version better than the other one. Apply your dry shampoo at night so it has all night to absorb the oils. This will absorb the oils and help your hair actually feel clean, without drying it out. Do not buy the bigger one. There are known issues with the nozzle not working on that one. I buy the smaller one.
ColorWow Dream Coat - 20% off - It is not as good of a deal as it was last year, but this is holy grail status for both. Missy and I. You can check out my latest Dyson Air Straight Reel on how to use it. People make the mistake of not using enough or not finishing with heat and tension (like with a blowdryer and brush). I have naturally curly hair and can wear my hair straight in the summer now because of this and the Air Straight!
Redken Acidic Bonding Leave In Treatment - 30% off - I switched to using this entire collection last summer and have not looked back. Unfortunately the shampoo and conditioner are not on sale, but the leave in treatment is! This helps repair hair, but does not weigh it down. It also helps with frizz. I love using it!
Unite Detangler - 30% off - Yes, this is expensive for a detangler. I have been using it for 3 plus years because Rebecca gets the worst tangles in her hair 1 I have tried all of the detanglers, and this is the best one for her hair. I even started to use it myself last year after Brittany used it and said it made her hair so soft. I thought for sure it would weigh it down, but it didnt! I also recommend the Unbrush to anyone who will listen.
Top Body/Personal Care/ Makeup Favorites
OPI Repair Mode - 30% off - I started to use this last year and it is amazing what it has done for my thin, peeling nails. It is like a bond treatment for your nails, so I think it is important to follow the directions. I use this every 3 sets of getting my nails done - so about every quarter. I use in the morning when I wake up and at night before going to bed - I just keep on my night stand. Only 6 days! You will notice a big difference.
Oral B Electric Toothbrush - 40% off - I have used a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush for the past 12 years. I accidentally left it in Myrtle Beach and had to buy a new one. The Oral B was like 60% off clearance at Target, so I picked it up. OH MY GOSH. WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME HOW SUPERIOR IT IS? The small toothbrush head is amazing at getting behind your teeth and in the back of your mouth (I still have my wisdom teeth). I love the pressure indicator that lets you know if you are using too much pressure - turns out - I have been! Thats why my gums always hurt.
Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Wash + Deodorant - 15% off - I would pay full price for this stuff. I bought the body wash last summer because I wanted a fun scent to make me excited for showers. It is juicy but also soft. And it gently exfoliates and brightens skin without drying it out too much. I loved the scent so much I needed to smell like it at all points of the day so tried out the natural deodorant. It smells less juicy than the body wash, but still so intoxicating I was lifting my arms all day trying to smell myself. It also has acids in it so it helps kill the odor causing bacteria. A+.
Topicals Ingrown Roller - I used to get the worst ingrowns in my armpit. Using this and a benzoyl peroxide wash after shaving really helps! I also use on my bikini line. I love that it is a roller.
Makeup brushes - I always get asked about makeup brushes and my top favorite one that I use ALLL the time is this IT Cosmetics one that is 34% off. It blends foundation beautifully. Cream bronzer or blush? It has it. Concealer? Done. powder? It can do that too. It is a workhorse. For all other brushes, I mainly use this set, which is also on sale and a great value!
If you made it through this list - thank you! You can always check out my other favorites on our storefront. I also think the sunglasses are worth a look - I always get so many compliments on my Raybans and they are rarely on sale!

She insists on sleeping on a Squishmallow. They have this soft, velvet like texture almost. The WORST thing to sleep on for hair. I keep trying to tell her that. She just said “ we should invent one that has silk covering instead.”
Kate Somerville DeliKate has done wonders for my dry skin. I am so glad you influenced me to buy it. It's forever a staple in my skincare regimen. I have about a day or so left of my current jar, so this Prime deal come right on time for me!
Thanks for this! Just flagging that the sunglass link goes to the Topicals roller - curious what your complimented sunglasses actually are haha
