Prime Day deals are finally live, meaning it's time to lock in on which products I need this summer. Of course, it wouldn't be a true Amazon haul if it weren't for the best Prime Day beauty deals.
Some of my desert island items are on sale across skincare, sunscreen, makeup, and haircare. Today, savvy shoppers can save up to 40% on premium beauty brands including everything from luxury serums by Sunday Riley to everyday items like shampoo, lip balm, and pimple patches.
Prime Day is a big opportunity for K-beauty fans like myself, with deals on popular Korean skincare. My favorite lip balm is Laneige's Glowy Lip Balm, so I'm stocking up while it's $5 off in the shade "Berry." COSRX also has a Prime Day beauty deal on its best-selling Snail Mucin Essence for nearly half off.
Amid this hot weather, there are hot deals hot styling tools. Today, the notoriously expensive Dyson Supersonic Origin hair dryer is on sale for $80 off. Every woman I know who owns a Supersonic agrees it is by far the best hair dryer they've ever used. I've had my own Dyson hair dryer for over 3 years, and there's truly nothing quite like it.

Prime Day is and ideal moment to save on an otherwise-too-expensive hair styling tool. Our expert beauty reporters have tested several of the best blow dryer brushes and best hair dryers that are on sale today, so you can achieve a DIY blowout for less.
One of my favorite hair styling tools I've ever used, the Dyson Airwrap, is on sale for $100 off. For a limited time, it's priced closer to the best Dyson Airwrap dupes we've tested. So if there were ever a moment to splurge on the real deal, it's now.
Prime Day skincare deals
Prime Day is a great time to save on luxury skincare from French pharmacy staples like La Roche Posay (no airfare to Paris required) Serums from Sunday Riley and cleansers from Tatcha are also well below their typical price.
Acne treatments and hydrating creams are on my shopping list for Prime Day. My absolute favorite moisturizer for acne-prone skin is the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream, so I'm stocking up while it's marked down.
Prime Day makeup deals
I get lots of recommendations for trendy makeup tricks on Instagram. For instance, I'm now blurring my Cupid's bow with lip stain instead of using a precise liner. Another good part about Prime Day: I can get the perfect pout (without any scary needles!) using one of our top-tested lip plumping gloss and balms.
Here are some Prime makeup deals on products that have been reviewed by thousands of Amazon customers.

3 Summer Beauty Tips for Prime Day
Look for these ingredients when shopping for sunscreen
Consistent sunscreen use is one of the best forms of anti-aging skincare. For our guide to the best SPF lip balms, we consulted senior vice president of The Skin Cancer Foundation, Dr. Elizabeth K. Hale, and Dr. Marie Hayag, founder of 5th Avenue Aesthetics.
Dr. Hale informed us about the two groups of UV-blocking ingredients: physical and chemical. The former include ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, while the latter has components like avobenzone and octisalate.
"Look for products with antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C," says Dr. Hayag. "They neutralize and boost protection from free radicals produced by UV radiation and visible light."
If you trim your bikini line, use a different razor than the one you use to shave your legs
Every swimsuit season, I'm reminded that the razor I use to shave my legs with is (literally) not going to cut it when it comes to maintaining my bikini line. We tested some of the best bikini hair removal products and found that Phillips Beauty BikiniGenie Cordless Trimmer is a great little device for touching up your pubic hair. To get a smoother shave, look for shave oils and creams that contain aloe vera and vitamin E.
Sun, salt water, and chlorine can cause hair breakage — rosemary oil can help
I have high-porosity curls, so the more I wash it, the more brittle it becomes. Ever since I started using a shampoo that contains the best rosemary oil for hair growth, I notice less strands going down the drain. Briogeo has a excellent pre-wash oil that also helps clarify an itchy scalp.
