Let me mention this right from the start so you can’t say I didn’t tell you: the Amazon Prime Day sale ends today. When it comes to personally shopping it, there’s one category I always get the most excited about—and it’s beauty products. It feels like the perfect time to make purchases I’ve been on the fence about while they’re discounted, and to restock the ones I already know I love and will undoubtedly continue to use.
This year, I immediately knew I wanted to finally try more of celebrity esthetician Biba de Sousa’s products while they’re marked down. She’s been the facialist for clients like Hailey Bieber and Miley Cyrus for many years, so of course I’ve been intrigued. I already have the Zinc Mask, which I love, but I’ll be buying the Mandelic Gel Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer too (and maybe the Glycolic Toner).
Other newcomers to my cart include an extremely chic, ivory-hued Yves Durif brush I’ve eyed for many years now. Maybe this is the time for me to finally try the Kérastase Genesis Serum as well.
In terms of products I’ve known and loved for years, there’s EltaMD sunscreen, Paula’s Choice BHA, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter, and Wonderskin lip stain.
Since it’s our last chance to shop before prices go back up, these are the cult-favorite beauty items worth knowing about.
EltaMD
Daily Spf 40 Face Sunscreen Moisturizer
Every skin influencer on TikTok raves about the Medicube Zero Pore Pads.
I was so excited to see celebrity-favorite brand Biba de Sousa participating in Prime Day. If you have combination or oily skin with clog-prone pores, this Zinc Mask feels like such a nice reset.
Wonderskin
Wonder Blading Lip Stain Peel Off Masque
I have multiple shades of this Wonderskin lip stain. Although I love lip liner, this is the best way to get longevity out of your lip color.
Paula’s Choice
Skin Perfecting 2% Bha Liquid Salicylic Acid Exfoliant
This Paula’s Choice exfoliator has a following of its own.
Clinique
Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm
We all know and love black honey at this point.
HANNI
Water Balm Hydrating Body Mist
I’d love to try this moisturizer spray with hyaluronic acid.
Yves Durif
Petite Vented Brush
My dream Yves Durif brush.
OUAI
Fine Shampoo and Conditioner Set
It’s a good time to pick up a set of Ouai’s shampoo and conditioner.
Briogeo
Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-Wash Oil
I keep meaning to get into scalp oiling once a week. People swear by it for hair growth and strengthening.
If there’s one beauty product I wear the most, it’s lip balm. I have a collection, but this Nécessaire is the one I’ve been finding myself reaching for the most. I love the metal applicator and its cooling mint sensation.
Mighty Patch
The Original
I will always keep a pack of pimple patches around just in case I have a breakout.
Dyson
Supersonic Origin Hair Dryer
If there’s a best time to get a Dyson, it’s definitely when it’s on sale.
Palmer’s
Cocoa Butter Formula Fragrance Free Lotion
Palmer’s cocoa butter is the best.
KÉRASTASE
Genesis Hair Serum
Kérastase is loved for preventing hair fall from brushing and strengthening weak hair.
Nutrafol
Hair Growth Supplements
My best friend started taking these a few weeks ago, and her hairdresser already asked her if she’s been doing anything differently.
Bio-Oil
Moisturizing Body Lotion for Dry Skin
Ultra-lightweight yet ultra-hydrating body lotion.
LANEIGE
Lip Sleeping Mask
A lip mask to keep next to your bed and use overnight.
Evian
Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray
Evian is my favorite brand of drinking water, so why not use it on my face, too?
COSRX
AHA/BHA Treatment Toner
So many CosRx products are on sale.
Supergoop!
Play Everyday Lotion Spf 50
Such a staple body sunscreen.
Perfect for when you don’t want to put on a full lip.
Salt & Stone
Santal & Vetiver Body Wash
I’ve tried all of the Salt & Stone bodywash scents, and the Santal & Vetiver is my favorite.
CLEAN SKIN CLUB
Clean Towels XL
Single-use face towels to keep bacteria away from your face.
Viviscal
Hair Growth Supplements
A hair stylist once told me that this is what his celebrity clients take.
BONDI HOME & SPA
Microfiber Hair Towel
I’ve been committed to only using microfiber hair towels.
It’s nice to keep a designated scrunchie in every bag.
This might not technically be a beauty item, but to me, beauty sleep is one of the most important parts of any routine.
Okay, I am clearly getting targeted ads for these vibration plates nonstop right now, but I’m so curious about their circulation benefits.
