Read More You’ll feel like a superhero with all the money you’ll be saving *and* all the problems you’ll be solving. I am a staff writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team who focuses primarily on practical and problem-solving products (although you can also catch me writing about cute, fun, and ~weird~ products, too!). Prime Day can be *confusing* — we’re using our extensive shopping knowledge and tracking price history to give you the most accurate pricing information and vetted discounts/original prices. FYI, some of the “regular” prices listed on the sides of some listings are true original prices, some (when the best deals are Prime-exclusive) are lesser discounts that non-Prime members can take advantage of. We’ll let you know everything you need to know! FYI — deals move *fast*. We’ll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can’t catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the week to see our latest updates as the deals change! Note: To get the best prices on some of these deals you have to be a Prime member, so if you aren’t already, sign up for a free 30 day trial here. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "I used to use the Becca under-eye product and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." —Ariel O "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Price: $4.80 (originally $6; available in four shades) — check out more Catrice deals here. You'll get two lemon and lime scented ones as well as one mango and hibiscus, and one crisp linen. Promising review: "These are a household staple that I keep stocked at all times, and this bundle pack is the most economical way to buy them. The multi-scent variety is a nice touch since you get a bit of freshness without any single scent becoming overwhelming, and the wipes themselves are thick and durable enough to handle tough messes without falling apart mid-wipe. I use them daily on kitchen counters, bathroom surfaces, and doorknobs, and they do an excellent job of cutting through grease and grime while leaving surfaces visibly clean. The resealable packaging keeps the wipes moist between uses, which is something I've had issues with in cheaper alternatives. At 80 count across 4 packs, this bundle offers great value and I always feel confident that surfaces are properly sanitized after use - a must-have for any home cleaning routine." —Charlie Price Promising review: "Perfect size for my garage storage project. I like the thickness of the plastic material, and the locking mechanism which works really well. Would buy again." —Madelaine Ogden Promising review: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTokAlice Check out a TikTok of the mini-fied Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner. Promising review: "I love this product. It is very easy to use, somewhat lightweight, and the cleaning power is amazing. I used it to clean upholstered dining room chairs and I couldn't believe how much dirt it sucked up. Clean up was easy afterwards as well. Highly recommend" —Mary jo Price: $79.99 (typically $99) — and shop all Bissell deals here Promising review: "I really didn't want to like it. I wanted to use it once, hate it, and return it. But sadly, it works amazingly. It's super lightweight, my hair dries so quickly (I've been blessed with very thick hair), it's extremely easy to use, and I absolutely love the round brush attachment." —JD & Anhelica Price: $199.99+ (originally $349.99+; available in three styles for different hair types) Promising review: "We’ve been using this fan in the bedroom for over three weeks and have fallen in love. Only waist high and with a very small footprint, it is not intrusive or in the way at all. The highest speed puts out quite a bit of air and is a little bit noisy, but not loud enough to interrupt sleep. The lowest speed can still be felt across the room and is almost silent. After years of taking fans apart to clean the blades, this one is indeed a breeze with just a wipe to remove any dust that might settle on it. The remote control is magnetic and attaches firmly to the top of the fan or can be removed and carried with you if you’re across the room. Love it!" —CAA Check out a TikTok of the wrinkle balm in action. Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly this stick is life changing!!! In a matter of minutes my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me; will def try the others!" —Kristy Price: $14.24 (originally $23.99; available in five styles) Promising review: "So...this Waterpik is amazing. I had 4mm and 5mm periodontal pockets from not flossing and also experienced some bone loss. I also had to get a very uncomfortable deep gum pocket cleaning. I literally hated flossing and would find myself avoiding to floss, even though I needed it very much. My gums were red, swollen, and inflamed because I was in the early stages of periodontal disease. I started using the Waterpik flosser and instantly liked this way of flossing much better! After using it consecutively each night for only five days, my gums were noticeably better and felt much better. After two weeks of using the Waterpik flossing, coconut oil pulling, and mouthwash treatment, my gums have done a complete 180, and my mouth and gums are starting to heal properly! Also this flosser can be somewhat loud, but definitely gets the job done. I bought this with my own money, and this is an honest testimonial/review." —Ebony Price: $47.49+ (originally $99.99; available in four colors) — and shop all the Waterpik deals here Promising review: "Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing product. As RVers, we find this collapsible cooler incredibly useful. The overall quality is very good, and the lid provides an excellent seal. The cooler collapses into a compact package that stores easily in an RV or vehicle, as shown in our SUV photo. We have used this cooler on multiple grocery runs and have experienced no issues keeping food and beverages cold with reusable ice packs. For RVers, campers, or anyone short on storage space, this cooler is an easy recommendation." —MKWilli Price: $139.99+ for the 35-qt. size (originally $199.99; available in three sizes) Promising review: "Best vitamin C serum I've used. Including the dermatologist office and department store brands. Takes very little product to cover face, neck, chest. After the second bottle, twice daily use, my jawline tightened, and smile lines plumped. My skin feels and looks softer. Foundation smoother. Their customer service is top-notch. I've never had a single problem. Good product. The price is incredible! I hope everyone else has the same experience. (And...I have age 50+ skin complete with effects of sunbathing before we knew it was deadly)." —Love My Lab Price: $19.99 (typically $38.99; non-Prime members can get it for $34.99) — shop more TruSkin deals here. Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning. Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor. Picture 3: After cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I was in shock. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter Promising review: "As someone with two dogs and a cat, this vacuum keeps up with them. If you know anything about German shepherds, then you know they shed 😅 I vacuum every three to four days and needed a heavy-duty vacuum that could also be used on hardwood floors. This vacuum does a phenomenal job of collecting all the pet hair." —Angelica Price: $119.98 (originally $199.99 — and shop the rest of Bissell's Prime Day deals here) Psst! Tons of other Tarte products are on sale, including the Tartelette Tubing Mascara and the Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump. Promising review: "Finally! A winner! I have spent an embarrassing amount of money on trying to find a decent under-eye concealer, with the hope I could find one that didn't emphasize my fine lines. Well, I have now found the perfect concealer that gives everything one could want in an under-eye concealer. It covers better than any other I have tried. And yep, it even seems to cover the fine lines! This is the winner! I would definitely recommend." —GG Price: $19.20 (originally $32; available in 48 shades) It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face. See why this mama calls the Tushbaby "the best invention for parents of young children" on TikTok. Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle Price: $63.74 (originally $84.99; available in two colors) — and shop all the TushBaby deals here Promising review: "Why did I wait so long to try something like this? I use this two to three times a week after I shower and before bed. I get waxed every four to six weeks and hardly get any ingrown hairs anymore. I have sensitive skin, and this does not irritate me at all." —Courtney M. Price: $16.80 for a pack of 28 (originally $24), and check out more First Aid Beauty deals here. Promising review: "I love the Echo Show, it's everything all in one device next to the bed. Voice commands, Alexa, Music, information, alarm clock, 24/7 weather (with accurate weather icons). I love the five choices for the clock face. It has a great, clear speaker and easy-to-access power and volume buttons when not using voice controls. The flat bottom keeps the Echo Show where you place it, yet it's light enough to move it around with ease. It has a clean, modern look." —Sherri Price: $44.99 (originally $79.99; available in three colors) — and shop all Amazon device deals here Promising reviews: "My dishes have never been so insulted. I bought Scrub Daddy hoping for a good scrub, but I didn't expect a relationship counselor for my dirty pots. This thing judges my burnt-on messes and then, with a smirk, obliterates them. My old sponges are now in therapy, wondering where they went wrong. 10/10, would recommend if you enjoy your dishes being shown who's boss." —Terrence reid "Get yourself a scrub daddy. I’m obsessed and will never go back to a normal sponge again. Works better than anything else to clean, never molds, and is one of my all time favorite cleaning products." —adriana ibanez Price: $19.99 (originally $24.99) — and shop all other Scrub daddy Deals here And shop the best food and kitchen Fall Prime Day deals for more! You'll get a 10.5-inch frying pan, a 3-quart saucepan with lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan with lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven with lid, four magnetic pan racks, and a canvas lid holder. I just replaced my old, broken, and scratched up cookware set with this, and...they make me believe in magic??? They're so non-stick that cleaning them doesn't even feel like a chore. Speaking of non-stick, I only use butter to cook my eggs now because I just prefer the taste. They also heat evenly and look good while doing so. This set also comes with a rack and a lid holder for easy organizing. Price: $356 (originally $445; available in eight colors) Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim Price: $15 (originally $25; non-Prime members can get it for $20) and check out more Laneige deals here. BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman says, "After working from home for the last three years, I've realized how much I value the air quality in my apartment. I live in an older building (think turn-of-the-century old), and there are lots of little holes and crevices where dirt, dust, and allergens can creep in. Coupled with the terrible air quality we've experienced in NYC because of wildfires in Canada a few months ago, the air in my home often triggers a sore throat, congestion, and sneezing fits in the morning. I have two air purifiers already, but I realized that buying replacement filters is ANNOYING and surprisingly expensive. The fact that this Shark air purifier can clean the air and doesn't need a filter replacement for five years is just *chef's kiss*. I keep this in the small office off the kitchen to help filter out odors from cooking, and it does a fantastic job. It also comes with a scented cartridge designed to keep your home smelling fresh. (Unfortunately, the scent gives me a headache, so I don't often have it running, but it does smell lovely!)"

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before, but so worth it. The others were one-and-done — these have held up through multiple wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" —Alison BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Price: $17.85+ (typically $26.50+; available in five shades and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and one that fits cups DD+) Promising review: "This drill works fantastically! Great power and feels nice in the hand. Very grippy and durable, battery seems pretty good too, considering the price. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt and I am super happy to add this tool to my collection!" —Julie R. Price: $99 (typically $179) — and shop all DeWalt deals here BuzzFeed Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly has been putting this toothpaste to the test: "I've been testing out the whitening version of this toothpaste, and it works just as well as any drugstore brand toothpaste without irritation. (I'll occasionally get irritation from whitening strips and treatments, and space them out because of it, but I've had none with this!) My mouth just FEELS cleaner when I use this, and it's even easier to use my tongue scraper after brushing, too! I think this has earned a spot as my new go-to." Promising review: "TheraBreath Deep Clean is the best toothpaste I’ve tried! It keeps my breath fresh for hours, feels gentle on my gums, and leaves my mouth super clean. The mint flavor is refreshing without being too strong. Definitely recommend." —Maryna Ruzieva Promising review: "This toothbrush truly fights plaque. A great new brush in the Sonicare line." —R OConnor Price: $59.96 — and shop all the Sonicare deals here Promising review: "The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." —Jenae Sitzes, BuzzFeed editor Promising review: "Used it immediately after shower while my hair was still wet, then blow-dried my hair and straightened it. It did help my hair to dry faster, the scent is nice, and when I washed my hair back a few days later, I noticed my curls had no damage. Without using this product, my curls would be limp and take about a week to come back to life, but this product definitely protected them. Very happy with this purchase. It was worth it!!" —Cdodson Price: $11.20+ (available in three sizes) Promising review: "These batteries hold up incredibly well in my wireless controllers and gaming accessories. No sudden drop-offs mid-session, and they last way longer than I expected. Solid performance, great value — definitely a must-have for any serious gamer." —corey Promising review: "Bought this product on sale, and it was worth the investment. It blends better than any other blender that I have had. Its multiple options allow for anything from smoothies to purees. I love that I can make soup with this blender. It has plenty of power and a large enough volume to make plenty for a small household. It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, it is very expensive at full price." —Daniel & Amanda Price: $374.95+ (originally $629.95; available in four colors) — and shop all the Vitamix deals here! The Vitamix Propel 510 in black is also 37% off! Reviewers are mixed on how much sensitivity they cause — some have none, some space out their treatments to reduce sensitivity, and some say they get some temporary sensitivity. Some reviewers suggest cutting the strips in half so the treatment is just on the front of the teeth to help (and hey, that means you get twice the strips!). Promising review: "I haven't used Crest Whitestrips in over 5 years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white, and I frequently get compliments or questions about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased it, I have only used it about four times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed, too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments, and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" —Vanessa5o5 If you're extra worried about sensitivity, Crest makes a sensitive version that's 44% off! Get it for $38.56 (originally $49.99) — and shop all the Crest deals here Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. My colleague Emma Lord is a huge fan: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)." BuzzFeed Shopping writer Courtney Lynch says: "Y'ALL! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer for years so I was skeptical that this ice pack would be any better than others I've tried. Thankfully, I was wrong. It's not flimsy at all and has some good weight to it while still being super soft and flexible. In addition to 360-degree cold (or heat!) therapy, it also provides *gentle* compression that's wonderfully soothing when a headache hits. You can pull it all the way down to cover your eyes (🎶 hello darkness, my old friend 🎶) or push it slightly upward to sit on your forehead, which means you'll still be able to see and do things if needed. I also LOVE not having to balance an ice pack on my forehead while trying to get some relief. The included freezer bag keeps it nicely contained so it doesn't come out smelling like all the frozen foods it's stored with." Price: $21.95+ (originally $27.95+; available in five colors/prints) Promising review: "For the price, I didn't expect the exceptional quality. It's surprisingly sturdy! It doesn't shift or wobble. It's a solid system. I love that it comes with the little dividers. It should be known, however, that the drawers are just trays sitting on top of a support and aren't locked in; they must be held when pulled out. It certainly still makes it easy to reach things that would otherwise not be easily reachable. I think this is great and exceeds expectations compared to the price point." —Sky R Price: $21.37 (originally $39.99; the best deal is on the white colorway) Promising reviews: "I never thought I would pay $15 for a claw clip because that seems excessive. However, this one is worth it. The clip is comfortable and sturdy. I have lain down, driven, and worked out in it, and it has never bothered me. The spring is also strong enough to hold my long hair without budging. Would recommend." —Kelly "I have three of these, and they are my favorite. They actually hold my hair up. I got rid of all my other brands of claw clips. These are perfect." —mc Price: $11.99 (originally $14.99; available in four styles). —Quirky Things On Sale For Prime Day You Won’t Be Able To Resist —What Parents Should Actually Buy During Prime Day —Things You’ll Want To Splurge On During Prime Day —Things At Their Lowest-Ever Prices This Prime Day And check out our roundups of the best deals across a variety of categories, including home, beauty, food & kitchen, practical, under-$25, TikTok finds, and more.
