22 Editor-Approved Finds to Buy on Amazon Prime Day Before It's Too Late
Editor-Approved Prime Day Shopping List
Whether you're upgrading your skin care routine, refreshing your summer wardrobe, or even redecorating your home, Prime Day is serving up rare discounts that make now the best time to press 'check out.' Taking place from July 8 to July 11, this year's shopping event is a full 48 hours longer than those of the past. But as we've learned the hard way, discounts come and go quickly, items can sell out in hours, and prices tend to shift without warning—so if something catches your eye, we recommend acting fast.
This year's ELLE-approved haul includes everything from cult-favorite serums for glowy, summer skin to editor-loved accessories that instantly elevate an outfit. We're prioritizing the products we genuinely use and love, plus on-trend tucked away gems we've been eyeing for months.
Below, shop everything I and my fellow ELLE staffers are buying before the sale ends. These are the Prime Day discounts we're actually excited about—and we think you will be too.
'There is quite an impressive roster of summer dresses hidden on Amazon. I'm hoping to score a few new styles and enjoy the fast shipping this Prime Day.'—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead
'Travel season is upon us. I'm upgrading my cosmetics bag with this sleek option that's less than $25.'—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead
'I present to you my Prime Day purchase of 2024: the Apple Airpods Max. Since then, I have worn these headphones through enough long office days and extra-loud flights to officially deem them a top tech pick.'—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer
'All the girls seem to be wearing kitten heel flip flops, so of course, I have to get on board.'—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor
'I have been struggling to find the perfect art piece to hand on a blank wall in my home. But I could change the picture weekly even daily if I wanted to with Samsung's Frame TV. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an even steeper deal come Prime Day.'—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead
'Praised in our PDRN roundup, this vegan serum is my secret weapon for waking up with plump, glowing skin. With niacinamide, adenosine, and holy basil leaf extract, it calms redness, clears breakouts, and evens skin tone practically overnight. If you want smoother skin and the perfect base for makeup, this one's a must-try.'—Laura Tarafa, commerce writer
'This dewy serum has been my secret to plump glowing skin for years. I'm so glad to see it on sale'—Alexis Bennett Parker
'There's nothing like a good bundle, and Shark really outdid themselves with this one. I've been dying to try the brand's celeb-loved CryoGlow LED Face Mask to keep my skin wrinkle-free. Plus, the FlexFusion Hair Dryer makes any hairstyle a breeze to create.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'I'm honestly not sure how my skin survived without pimple patches. The Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics is my favorite for its magic pimple-erasing powers and ultra-invisible appearance—and now they're 20 percent off.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'As a gardenia enthusiast and someone who adores fresh, floral scents, I find this perfume oil simply divine. It has a light, fresh aroma that's subtle, yet noticeable enough to earn me compliments all day long. It's become one of my must-have fragrances for summer, and now that it's 20 percent off, I'll definitely be stocking up.'—Laura Tarafa
'I've held out for as long as possible, but I think it's time for me to finally give in and buy an Oura ring. I'm not usually competitive, but I even I want to brag about my sleep score!'—Meg Donohue
'Baseball season is officially here, so it's time to break out my Yankees hat. There's a reason this team is the top choice around the world—from models to celebrities and beyond. New York or nowhere!'—Claire Stern Milch, digital director
'I've been using this tea tree oil serum for years now, and Prime Day is the perfect excuse to stock up. It keeps my sensitive, acne-prone skin in-check, while providing a gorgeous glow.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'I've reached the stage of adulting where I use Amazon Prime Day to stock up on grown-up essentials instead of buying yet another cute workout set I'll never actually wear to the gym (I'm a big tee and shorts kind of girl). At the top of my list is a portable water flosser. I already house a bulkier Waterpik in my bathroom. Still, as someone who travels frequently—and flossing is an absolute must, regardless of the region—I love the ease of having a cordless, rechargeable flosser with precision and brush tips to tackle every crack and crevice.'—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor
'If you're anything like me and love to drink coffee and laugh as much, you can understand the sheer paranoia of living with stained teeth for eternity. Dramatic? Maybe, but I'll do whatever I can to prevent it. This kit does the job as long as you're consistent. I haven't enjoyed other whitening kits because they make my teeth sensitive and tight, but Luminex's version is comfortable and reliable.'—Nerisha Penrose
'Trust me, this is the SPF you'll want in your beach bag all summer long. This formula is unlike anything I've tried—ultra-hydrating, soothing, and leaves no white cast. No eye-stinging, no greasy residue, just a lightweight liquid that melts in effortlessly. It leaves behind a soft, natural glow and wears beautifully under makeup, doubling as the perfect primer!'—Laura Tarafa
'I recently purchased this ceramic curling iron from Kristin Ess, and now i actually enjoy curling my hair. My hair glides through the barrel so smoothly, and the included heat protectant ensures my styled strands are never fried.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'I started using the Lancôme Rénergie Eye Cream a few weeks ago, and I can already see a difference in my dark circles (or lack thereof). It's super brightening, hydrating, and depuffing thanks to its caffeine, hyaluronoic acid, and linseed extract formulation.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'I've heard incredible things about the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam. Now that it's 30 percent off, I think it's time to jump on the bandwagon.'—Emma Aerin Becker
'Although the Hatch alarm clock seems totally extra to me—I love being extra. Prime Day is the perfect excuse to finally pull the plug on this purchase I've been dreaming out. With an easy breezy wake-up call, I'm hoping this addition makes me a morning person.'—Emma Aerin Becker

Plus, the stitching and adorable designs are to die for! Promising review: "I have never been compelled to write a review, but these shoes are soooo beautiful!!!

Slip-on mules that are so elegant yet surprisingly comfy — perfect for wearing to the office, then straight to dinner with friends. They're also quite similar to Madewell's Gemma mules, so if you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative, these are just for you. Promising reviews: "I was so happy to find stylish shoes to fit my small feet (size 5)! That is not an easy feat these days. I love the shoes. When I first put them on, I did not think they were going to be comfortable. However, after I had worn them for just a short while, I realized they were actually very, very comfortable. They are also not smooth on the bottom but have a sole that has slight ridges, and therefore not slippery, which you find with some flats." —Karen Hulshouser "I really love these shoes. I've been eyeing the Madewell Gemma mules for months, but stumbled upon these and decided to take a chance. These are super comfortable and easy to walk in." —Hannah NewsomeGet them from Amazon for $35.97+ (available in sizes 5–11 and five colors and patterns). Platform sandals letting you have the 🎶 best of both worlds 🎶, aka the comfort of sandals and the stylish look of heels — a double life, if you will. They have cushioned insoles, adjustable ankle straps, and ridged soles that'll give you peak stability! A reliable pair of Crocs that may not be the *most* stylish of shoes but are definitely the comfiest. I think we should all be glad that these have made their comeback from the early 2000s because their cushy soles and ventilation ports are blessings for sweaty feet. Plus, you can add on some charms to give 'em personality! A pair of comfortable clogs because the Birkenstock Boston clogs are cute and all, but you know what's not? The hefty price. These look exactly the same, minus the logo — but let's be so real, no one's checking for that. And you know what's funny? A lot of reviewers actually think that these are comfier than Birks!

Is ‘The Wheel of Time' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 11:18 IST Fans of The Wheel of Time are still buzzing from the epic Season 3 finale that hit Prime Video on April 18, 2025. The show, adapted from Robert Jordan's massive 14-book fantasy saga, has delivered stunning visuals, gripping drama, and a world that keeps viewers hooked. But the burning question remains: Will there be a Season 4? Here's everything we know so far. Has The Wheel of Time Been Renewed for Season 4? As of July 2025, Prime Video has not greenlit The Wheel of Time for a fourth season, and some tough news has surfaced. Reports from Deadline and Radio Times confirm the show was canceled after Season 3 due to financial reasons. With a reported $260 million spent on the first two seasons alone, the production is a costly beast. While Season 3 pulled in over 530 million minutes watched during its premiere week (per Nielsen), the viewership apparently didn't match the high costs for Amazon's liking. Season 3 earned strong praise, with a 77/100 on Metacritic and 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the numbers didn't add up for the streamer. That said, hope isn't entirely lost. The show's team remains passionate, with whispers of potentially shopping the series to other platforms. However, TV Line notes that 'well-placed sources' say there are no current plans to pitch it elsewhere. Fans of shows like The Expanse , which found a new home after cancellation, know that miracles can happen, but it's a long shot for now. When Will Season 4 Release? If another platform picks up the show or Amazon reconsiders, don't expect Season 4 anytime soon. The series' complex production, with its detailed sets and heavy VFX, takes time. Season 1 launched in November 2021, Season 2 in September 2023, and Season 3 in March 2025—roughly 18 to 24 months apart. If filming begins in late 2025 or early 2026, a release could land in late 2027 or early 2028. Patience is key for epic fantasy!

Is Leah Williamson in a relationship?
Leah Williamson, footballer and captain of the England women's national team, has long sparked dating rumours with Elle Smith, an American model and former Miss USA winner. From sweet holiday snaps to celebrating her football wins together, the 28-year-old and her beau have somewhat soft-launched their relationship on Instagram over the last few months. However, from what we, and other social media sleuths (see: fans of the pair), can see, they're yet to actually make it 'official.' So, let's take a deep dive into their rumoured relationship, including some of the sweetest moments so far... Last month, Elle took to her Instagram to share snippets of her Majorcan holiday with her 127K followers. While many shots showed off her summer fits and stunning views of the Spanish island, a couple of pics saw the pair looking super loved up. Case in point: slide 3 caught Leah and Elle on a paddleboard together, while slide 17 saw Elle snap a candid pic of the footballer dressed up and heading out for dinner. Leah also posted snaps of the getaway — where they were celebrating Elle's birthday — which included a gorgeous photo of the pair at dinner. A selfie of the two was featured in the carousel too, which saw Leah and Elle sunkissed and smiling. Elle commented on the holiday roundup: "same time next year?" to which Leah responded: "yes please x." Err, cute. Back in May, Elle posted a black and white shot of her cuddling Leah, who was sitting on her lap. Leah was clutching a medal and wearing an England shirt following her team's 6-0 win against Portugal. The post also included footage of the match, in which Elle could be heard cheering on the team. Leah commented on the post: "We did it!" Even earlier in March, Elle posted a video of her and Leah floating in the ocean on a paddleboard. Leah appeared to be lying down and resting her head on Elle's legs, as they had a sweet, intimate chat. Elle accompanied the post with the caption: "happy birthday my love x." Leah responded with the cutest emojis: "🥰🤭🧜♀️." Interestingly, this Insta post sparked 'official' comments from fans, with one person writing: "The mother of hard launches!" Others said: "So happy for you!" while another person said they were the "cutest" together. Officially obsessed with these two.
