Why is it that our everyday skincare, haircare or makeup heroes always seem to run out at the same time? Well, there’s no better time to place one of those big online orders than the present, because the Amazon Prime Day sale is on – and there are thousands of deals to wade through. Ahead, I’ve done the work for you and listed 9 of my repeat beauty buys that I will be stocking up on this week…
By far the best drugstore mascara. It has a clever multi-level bristle brush that allows you to separate and coat every lash from root to tip and delivers a lengthening effect. Plus, thanks to its tubing formula, it is easy to remove with just some water and a (reusable) cotton pad.

I have a lot of fine hair, which doesn’t require a lot of attention (or products) but does benefit from a bit of texture to appear fuller and thicker. This shampoo does exactly that – and it smells delicious. I also really rate the hair mask from the Densifique range.

I’m a religious double-cleanser at night and this is one of my favourite cleansing balms. It has a rich, butter-like texture that removes dirt, pollution and makeup without stripping my skin. I do find it leaves a slight residue behind, but I don’t mind because that’s when I go in with a second, water-based cleanser.

I know what you’re thinking: why are you spending £29 on hairspray? But it’s the best one. It’s lightweight yet manages to tame my flyaways, smells really good and leaves a pretty shine. I spray it onto a brush and comb it through my hair.

Speaking of Medik8 – Crystal Retinal is my all-time favourite vitamin A serum. It comes in different strengths, from 0.01% – 0.24% retinaldehyde, allowing you to slowly build your way up. Apply at night, follow with a moisturiser and always use a sunscreen the next morning after using retinoids.

The quickest route to expensive-looking skin. I swipe this across my collarbones, shoulders and shins whenever I want a little extra glow. The shimmer is subtle rather than sparkly, and the roll-on format makes application completely foolproof.

This is one of those products beauty editors seem to universally agree on. The lightweight serum helps fade post-blemish marks and boost radiance without irritating the skin, making it an easy addition to any routine. If your complexion is looking a little lacklustre, start here.

A classic for good reason. Whenever my skin is looking tired, dehydrated or generally a bit ‘off’, this is the serum I reach for. It leaves skin looking smoother and more rested by morning and layers beautifully with the rest of my evening routine.

Finding a sunscreen that feels weightless but still leaves skin looking good can be surprisingly difficult. This one has a fluid texture that absorbs quickly, sits well under makeup and doesn’t leave behind the greasy finish that puts so many people off daily SPF.

No beauty editor’s makeup bag is complete without a tube of Clinique Almost Lipstick. Somewhere between a lipstick, balm and tint, it delivers the perfect just-bitten flush that somehow suits everyone. It’s effortless, flattering and one of those rare products that genuinely lives up to the hype.

I’m not usually one for beauty tools, but this has become part of my morning routine. The cooling setting is brilliant for reducing under-eye puffiness after a late night, while the warming mode feels surprisingly relaxing. One of those products you don’t realise you need until you try it.
