Over my seven-year tenure as a shopping editor at Real Simple, I’ve gathered a treasure trove of money-saving wisdom. When family and friends seek my shopping savvy, my top tip is straightforward: seize the incredible deals on Amazon’s Prime Day, which are often the best discounts you’ll find all year round.
– Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine, now just $550 (originally $750)
– Colorscience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50, $46 (was $58)
– CeraVe Hydrating Cream to Foam Cleanser, now $15 (was $20)
– Away Bigger Carry-On Suitcase, $236 (was $295)
– Saie Dew Liquid Blush, $20 (was $25)
Coffee shop aficionados since forever, I’ve finally taken the plunge into investing in a top-tier espresso machine I’ve coveted for years. Possessed by a few friends, this all-in-one marvel grinds beans, measures grounds, heats water, brews espresso, and froths milk. They can’t stop raving about its longevity, intuitive design, and the rich, professional-quality espresso it churns out. It’s a splurge, but it’s an upfront expense that promises significant savings down the line.
This innovative tinted sunscreen has streamlined my makeup routine, replacing my facial sunscreen, foundation, and concealer. Its versatile formula seamlessly blends with skin while offering robust protection against pollution, UVB/UVA sun damage, and blue light. Its buildable coverage allows me to bypass concealer and precisely apply it where needed, like under my eyes and over acne scars.
I’m always on the lookout for big sales, like Prime Day, to stock up on necessities I use daily, such as my face wash. Over two decades, I’ve tried numerous cleansers, and this dermatologist-recommended one is the only one that doesn’t irritate my super-sensitive skin. It gently dissolves makeup and moisturizes as it cleanses, leaving my skin supple and hydrated.
For the first time ever, Away luggage is on sale during Prime Day. Known and cherished by travelers for its durable and space-saving suitcases, the brand’s larger carry-on bag is a hit among friends. Its compression interior, smooth wheels, and lightweight feel make it a highly recommended pick. Though I don’t need a new suitcase, this deal will make an ideal holiday gift for my partner, who hasn’t upgraded their worn suitcase in a decade.
I’m always on the prowl for new clean beauty brands to integrate into my rotation. I’m excited to try some of Saie’s top sellers, like this liquid blush, while they’re on sale. Experts suggest that liquid blushes blend effortlessly and give that sought-after glowy, dewy appearance. I can’t wait to test this highly-rated product.
For additional picks, I’ve rounded up a variety of items I own and adore, all on sale this Prime Day. The Apple AirPods Pro that I rely on for workouts, walks, and commutes are on sale, as are the Sweese porcelain pasta bowl plates (also known as blates) that I’ve raved about for seven years.
