A Tight Edit Of The Best Beauty Sales ELLE Editors Are Actually Shopping This Amazon Prime Day

The Rolls Royce of hair tools, you’ll find a Dyson Airwrap either in every beauty editor’s vanity or at the top of their wish list. Loved for its ability to dry and style the hair while inflicting no heat damage on our strands, it’s become a cult hair tool for good reason. The tool has six attachments, including the flyaway attachment and extra-long curling barrels. This particular model is designed for people with hair on the longer side, and with 20% off, it’s a rare deal that you’ll probably want to take advantage of.

Elizabeth Arden’s cult-famous Eight Hour Cream is an icon for a reason. So much so that Elizabeth Arden created an entire skincare line off the back of that orangey-peach-y tube of goodness. And yes, that includes body care, too. This body lotion is calming but super-hydrating in a way that our mid-winter skin all needs. It’s also infused with shea butter, avocado oil, and glycerin, and helps to restore a impaired skin barrier.

Anyone familiar with a bleach and tone will also be well-acquainted with the Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3. It’s a hair treatment that helps to repair the bonds damaged by bleach, and is many hairstylists’ secret weapon against prolonged hair damage from colouring.

This serum is praised for its intense hydration and gentle exfoliation properties. Though the texture may take a minute to get used to (let’s just say, it’s a bit sticky), many reviewers credit this essence for helping to calm the skin while helping to fade dark spots and brighten the skin.

In case you haven’t gathered, we are big fans of French pharmacy beauty buys, and this is one of the best. The Bioderma micellar water range removes makeup without irritating the skin or leaving a heavy film behind, but it also removes all makeup with ease. The Hydrabio range is particularly well-suited for anyone with dehydrated or dry skin, which in the winter months, is probably most of us.

If you don’t need all the fancy attachments and just want a round brush hot tool that gives you a bouncy blowout, this is a good option. It has four speed settings and features gently rounded edges to help you add volume or flicked ends without ending up with a full curl. Plus, the brush attachment can be removed, making it more compact for storage.

One of our favourite leave-in treatments, this detangles and protects your hair from heat damage, all while strengthening damaged hair. If you colour your hair or experience a lot of dryness or breakage, we highly recommend trying this one, or the entire Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate range for that matter.

The Dyson Airstrait is another rare sale item, with 20% off for Amazon Prime Day. This nifty hair straightener uses air instead of hot ceramic plates like a traditional hair straightener, which means it can take your hair from wet to straight in 25% less time, plus, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that it won’t damage your tresses. With two styling modes that suit both wet and dry hair, you’ll have sleek hair with just one tool.

Sales are a good chance to stock up on the essentials. And in the beauty world, it doesn’t get much more essential than an SPF 50+ product that’s lightweight, suitable for sensitive skin, and formulated to layer well under your makeup.

This French pharmacy staple is discounted by a huge 46% this Amazon Prime Day, so now is your time to pick up a tube if it’s been on your list. The moisturiser is beloved for its nourishing properties, but many makeup artists also credit it for being the perfect makeup prep step as its emollient formulation lays the perfect foundation for a full beat.

You can never have too many beauty sponges, and the Real Techniques ones are one of our favourites. The flat edge is particularly handy if you like to use powder to bake your under eyes, but even if you don’t, it’s still a great sponge for makeup application (we can personally vouch).
