Happy Prime Day! If you are looking for a great deal, today is the day. You all probably know the drill. This happens once a year. I'm sharing my top favorite Prime Day picks. There are thousands upon thousands of deals, but I tried to be extremely discerning in what I share with you all. I pulled only my top favorite items, and there is just one item on this entire list that I don't personally own. I also tried to give you all detailed mini-reviews of each product below, but if you have any questions, let me know!
This sale is for two days, so some deals will continue through tomorrow, some will end today, and some new deals will be available tomorrow. Scroll down and keep scrolling because there is a lot of content in this post and you don't want to miss what is at the bottom!
I also have a Prime Day roundup folder on my Amazon page, if you want to reference that! I will update the page as I see more things that I think are worthy, as well as update on Instagram stories and on my LTK page.
GPS Pet Tracker// / This is one of the most affordable GPS trackers on the market. I wanted to attach this to his collar for when we go to the lake where he is off-leash leash more often. In the past, I have used an AirTag, but being in a more rural setting, I felt that AirTag was a waste. The tracker worked in the *exact* way that I was looking for. The battery lasted long, he swam in the lake with it on his collar, and it tracked him perfectly. It gave me such peace of mind, and I could not recommend it more. We don't use it other than at the lake, which is only a few weeks out of the year, but the low cost is worth it.
Robot Vac// We randomly named our roomba DJ Roomba. I have no idea why, but we got this as a wedding shower gift and have loved it. It definitely doesn't replace a regular vacuum, but I run it in between vacuuming to keep the pet hair at bay! It's not a necessity, but it's more of a 'nice to have'.
Eye Cream// I've always been skeptical about eye cream. I've tried *a lot* of eye creams over the last 15 years and I always come back to this one. It's one of the only ones where I actually feel I see results as opposed to just using my regular moisturizer/serum under my eyes. I have bad dark circles and I noticed they are lessened with continued use. The formula is nice and hydrating and glides on nicely. I use this exclusively at night because there is another eye cream I prefer for daytime, but you can use this at any point in the day or evening.
Teeth Whitening Strips// I kept seeing this brand all over the internet. It seems like everyone and their mother posts about these teeth-whitening strips. I took it upon myself to buy them and test them out. I have always loved Crest Whitestrips. They work. However, as I get older, it's more important than ever to be gentler on my enamel. These are supposed to be gentler. I got the 7-treatment kit to start. Normally, I use one Crest Whitestrips as a touchup, and it whitens my teeth noticeably. With the Lumineux, I had to use all 7 treatments to notice a difference, but the difference was noticeably whiter. No sensitivity whatsoever. I ordered the larger pack this morning to continue using this brand. I can confirm that they work; they just take a little longer than some of the other brands out there. I think I'll still keep a few Crest Whitestrips on hand for when I don't plan ahead and only have a day to get my teeth whitened, but otherwise will defer to this brand.
Nespresso Machine// I've had a Nespresso machine for many years. Day-to-day I enjoy regular coffee but sometimes I make an afternoon cappuccino or macchiato on the weekends. It's so easy to use and easy to clean. I would recommend it for an easy, no-fuss experience and especially for someone who has limited counter space. The Vertuo pods can make larger cups of coffee. They're still 'lungo', so not like drip coffee but delicious, nonetheless, and would enable you to forgo a drip coffee machine if you are tight on space. I keep ours tucked away in a kitchen cabinet and bring it out when we want to use it.
Vacuum// We have a Dyson, but 100% of the time, I prefer the Shark vacuum I bought for my apartment back in 2016. It still works perfectly and works SO much better than my Dyson. Even better, it's a fraction of the Dyson price tag. The only thing that is somewhat annoying is that it does have a cord, but it's a negligible annoyance when I factor in how well it works. If you have a pet, this will be a game-changer. When mine dies, I will repurchase and not even bother to look for a different option. It's that good.
Dual Voltage Travel Steamer// This is a great steamer for packing away in your luggage. It's dual voltage so you can travel abroad with it without issue. I have and love this and never travel without it!
Elemis Face Wash// This is my favorite face wash. I have tried many and this one smells amazing, cleans my face well, and keeps it hydrated. I love that it does not strip my face like some brands have done. I always try to snag it on sale as it goes on sale decently often.
Retinal 3// This is a newer skincare product that I have been loving and just included it in my June Favorites list. My dermatologist got me to use retinol a few times and I just could not get past the crazy flakiness. My skin does not take to retinol well, and so, therefore, it has never been a focus for me. This retinal is one of the best products I've ever used. They have a step system where they offer different strengths, and once you use one bottle, you can 'graduate' to the next level. I'm pretty religious about skincare, and I thought my skin looked pretty good, but this made my skin noticeably better. I'm a huge fan now. It's my first product from this brand and I will buy the next level up to see what happens. For the first two weeks of the product, I did have some purging, but it was manageable. I mostly noticed one big zit and some blackheads around my chin. I noticed a little bit of dryness but no flaking. Once those two weeks passed, that's when I really started to notice great results.
Mascara Primer// If you have never used a mascara primer, you should try it out. A primer makes my lashes look so full and long and helps the mascara to 'stick' to the lashes better. I don't apply mascara without a primer! I was a L'Oreal user for years as it is inexpensive and works well. However, the Lancome brand works better, which is worth the splurge. This is another product that goes on sale pretty frequently so I try to never pay full price!
Hair Mask// This is a new hair mask from Wella. I previously loved the Fusion mask. While the Fusion is wonderful, I think this is *slightly* better. It's super hydrating and smells wonderful. I use this a few times per month in place of conditioner.
Wella Repair Spray// THIS IS THE BEST HAIR PRODUCT OF ALL TIME. It's a spray, and you spritz it on damp hair after a shower. It smells lovely (not too strong) and has a nice, even spray. It makes my hair so soft, shiny, and voluminous. I also feel that it helps my hair look fresher for longer in between hair washes. It's a pricey product, but it's a must-have for me and one I have purchased many times.
Frame TV// I've had the Frame TV for over 5 years and would highly recommend. It has a nice picture and works well. It has lots of apps that you can download onto it so you can stream pretty much anything. I love the look of it on the wall and we added the gold wooden frame so it looks even more like a piece of real art. When I need another TV, I won't hesitate to get another Frame. You can read my full blog post review of the Samsung Frame TV, here.
Lip Balm Set// This is such a silly little addition but these are tinted lip balms that are inexpensive to begin with. On sale for Prime, this entire set is less costly than a cup of coffee. I like to keep them in jacket pockets, the car, drawers, etc., so I always have one on hand. This would make a cute little stocking stuffer gift idea if you are thinking ahead. Remember, Prime usually does another sale-type event in October, so you can always wait, but I like to throw that out there. I think spreading out holiday shopping is a great way to spread out the cost and ensure you get the best prices available.
Small Carpet Cleaner// This is one of those things you don't know you need until you own it. Having a pet, this is a must. It's easy to clean up pet accidents and more. I have used it on both upholstery and carpeting and rugs and it has always gotten the stains out. It's small enough that it doesn't take up much storage space. It's easy to use and decently lightweight. I really love the Bissell brand for their support of pets. They have an entire foundation that donates to animal welfare.
Glass Bowls// I have the drinking glasses and love them. They are so chic and beautiful. I love the little glass bowls! A cute gift idea.
Automatic Espresso and Coffee Maker// This is the only thing in this Prime Day blog post that I don't personally own. However, this is a bonkers deal. Up to 52% off. I've been eyeing this machine. It's an automatic espresso maker that can also make coffee. It grinds the beans, and you can froth milk. It gets rave reviews. It's *really* hard to find an espresso machine that makes actual coffee (not just an Americano). We have a Ninja coffee maker and a Nespresso and to me, this is like having what I love from each of those machines but in one and with even more bells and whistles (like a grinder)! If you are looking for a great machine, definitely look into this one.
Lip Balm// This is a constant repurchase for me. I use it exclusively at night, right before I go to bed. It's sticky and thick. The first few times I used it, I didn't love it, but I grew to love it when I realized it actually works. It plumps my lips by morning and is so hydrating. It's pricey for bedtime lip balm, but it's one of those things I constantly repurchase. It goes on sale a few times a year, but I have paid full price for it before because it's just that good. I think this makes a great gift to a beauty/skincare lover because it's a little luxury.
Leave-in Conditioner// This entire Acidic Bonding line from Redken is incredible. I had never used the Redken brand before this line, but now I love it. This is a cream-type product that you can apply to damp hair. It works similarly to the Wella product I talked about earlier in this blog post. I think between Wella and Redken, the Wella spray is my favorite, but I often wonder if that is only because it sprays which is more convenient. Either way, you cannot go wrong.
Stainless Pan Set// My husband and I prefer different cookware. He cooks on cast iron, and I cook on All-Clad stainless. Both are supposedly non-toxic, which is great. If you have been afraid of stainless cookware because you think it is nonstick, watch a few YouTube videos on properly using them, and you will be a convert. I love my All-Clad frying pans and could not recommend them more! They are pricey so it is always nice to snag them on sale.
Luggage// My husband and I both have this luggage, and we love it. It's spacious, well-appointed, and glides like a dream even on the cobblestone streets of a place like Nantucket. I love my Away carry-on, but I actually really love that this luggage looks different since it seems like airports these days are a sea of Away bags. These stand out a bit and are easy to spot. We've traveled a lot with these bags and they have held up beautifully.
Gel Nail Lamp// This is the gel nail lamp I use at home. It works well, and I've had it for almost a year, and it is still good as new.
Earrings// I wear these little gold huggie hoops often. They are a great size for daily wear and are surprisingly high quality.
Round Brush// I love this round brush. I use it when blowing my hair dry. I read many reviews of round brushes, and this one came out the winner, and I've been pleased. The one thing that sold me was that the top of the brush (I would call it the 'cap') is plastic and not metal. Reviews for other round brushes said that the top of the brushes were metal and kept burning their skin. Since the tip of this brush is plastic, I've had no issues!
Beige Dog Car Hammock// If you have a beige car interior, you know how hard it is to find a beige car hammock for your pet! This is the one I have. It's high quality and easy to wash!
Blockprint Tablecloth// I have and love this tablecloth! It gives me Julia Amory vibes, but for much less.
Gold Earrings// These were in my cart! I don't own them, but I will soon! I love the look of them!
Truffle Salt// This salt is SO GOOD and coming from someone who doesn't love truffles, that's really saying something. It just makes everything taste better, especially popcorn and corn on the cob or a basic arugula salad.
Shampoo + Conditioner// A favorite duo! It's so hydrating. If you have thick and/or color-treated hair, you will love this!
Eye Patches// The very best eye patches. I have them on-hand at all times. They depuff my under eyes and lessen the appearance of fine lines!
