You don’t have to tell on yourself here, but how many of you don’t all that excited over Prime Day because literally every day is Prime Day in your house? (Sorry, USPS.) I have an Amazon addiction and I don’t care to admit it. Six glasses cleaners for $9 instead of one for $6? Absolutely. A stockpile of beauty products “just because they were on sale?” Sounds completely familiar. Headphones, coffee creamer, and acne patches in the same shipment? You already know.
Prime Day has been so successful for the online retailing giant that they’ve opted for a second round (affectionately called the “Early Access Sale” but we all know what that really means). And, why not? The first two-day Prime event in July brought in close to $12 billion (with a “b”). If you opted out of Prime Day or even this fall’s Early Access Sale but you’re having FOMO, fear not: Here are some top deals that can still be snatched up.
A Night Cream To Remember
I love a good product that works while you sleep and that’s exactly what this retinol night cream from the edgy No B.S. (No Bad Stuff) brand is. Packed with aloe vera, vitamin C and the all-star beauty ingredient known as hyaluronic acid, this evens your skin tone while tightening, firming, and regenerating your skin. Never be scared to catch your reflection on a Monday morning again. Enjoy 20% off on this purchase.
Going Through A Rough Patch
I may be in my 40s but I’m one of the lucky ones who has been blessed with acne off and on most of my life. So, I had to try out these healing acne patches and did so with a touch of skepticism but I could not have been more wrong. Pop one of these sticker-like patches over a trouble spot and — bam! — by morning, it’ll barely be a shell of its former self. These are 43% off for a limited time.
Double Down
You’re going to see a lot of No B.S.’s products on this list and that’s because they’re A. Fairly inexpensive, B. Just so darn good and C. 20% off. This purchase is for a double dose of products including a day and night hyaluronic cream in a jar and a moisturizer with the all-important SPF in a bottle. Pair these power players together for plumper, more radiant skin.
Flower Power
The bride gets all the attention and the bridesmaids get all the love so where does that leave your little flower girl? Give her a gift that shows you put thought into her, too, with this gift set that includes a book and a flower crown served up inside a darling gift box. They’ll feel special knowing they have a role no one else does — and a gift to match. You’ll love saving 30%.
Creamer Of The Crop
Oh, you’re still using coffee creamer from the actual grocery store? What is this, 1984? This mocha-flavored, superfood-infused creamer is great added to coffee or packed into a smoothie with all kinds of body-friendly ingredients like collagen protein, MCTs, L-theanine, and coconut milk. (It’s also 20% off right now.) This keto creamer option also comes in vanilla but that’s pretty, um, vanilla, don’t you think?
A Budding Genius
If you love coffee but don’t appreciate that jittery feeling, this Genius Coffee from VitaCup delivers healthy doses of energy and focus complemented by the good stuff — MCT oil, turmeric and a powerhouse blend of B vitamins. These pods are 20% off and convenient, too, cooperating with your existing K-Cup brewers with no trouble. This blend is a medium dark roast that has notes of cinnamon.
Lip Service
I always see stuff like this lip balm making kit and think, “I could do that!” Except I never do because there’s no time and it’s simpler to just buy my favorite $3 tube. This set includes everything you need to make multiple tubes including a beeswax pouch, shea butter, tubes, tins, labels, and more. Add the included essential oils (or your own) for nearly two dozen tubes. Save 30% and craft to your heart’s content.
Power Of The Purse
I think I came out of the womb carrying a purse and my motto is, “The bigger, the better.” (My shoulders do not approve.) Get them started young with their own purse set that’s “just like Mom’s” including a “debit card,” fake lipstick, and play phone. She can put it all in the purse and be ready to head out the door with her iced coffee. (Kidding about that last part.) Take 20% off for a limited time.
Holy Sheets
Sales like Prime Day and Amazon’s Early Access Sale are great opportunities to stock up on essentials like bedsheets, especially when they’re 25% off. This 100 percent brushed microfiber polyester set includes a twin flat sheet, a twin fitted sheet, and one standard pillowcase. Your little one will love lying down on these magical unicorn sheets even if they hate going to bed. They hate going to bed, don’t they?
Soak Up The Sun
I’ve reached the multifocal lenses part of life and let me tell you: It’s not a good time. I have to wear contacts AND put on a pair of readers to see anything closer than my elbow. This pair of sunglasses solves a lot of problems with built-in readers, bifocal lenses, and an ultraviolet protective coating. Stop toting three pairs of glasses around with you when one can handle the job. Take 25% off for a limited time.
Got The Blues
I know the (scientific) jury is still out on blue light-blocking glasses for those of us who spend a lot of time on the computer, a gaming system, or even a smartphone. Personally, I like them and feel like they do help me with eye strain and headaches after a long day. These have prescription-grade lenses and an anti-glare coating for convenience and are 15% off during Amazon’s sale.
Safety First
Since we’re on an eyewear kick, we might as well knock out one more option — the safety glasses. These have a plastic frame, polycarbonate non-polarized lenses, and a UV protection coating. The important part is the safety feature, which delivers high-impact protection in a wraparound design that’s plenty lightweight for your face. The bifocal lenses are nearly invisible and the price (at 25% off) is pretty small, too.
You’ve Been Crowned Chef
I’ve never seen a little one who didn’t delight in cooking making a mess in the kitchen. Make her feel extra “kitchen official” with her own chef set that includes a hat, apron, and book of royal recipes like Castle Cupcakes, Fairytale Fudge, and Magic Wand Pretzels. Each recipe includes photos and easy step-by-step instructions, and the clothing set is completely machine-washable. Take 20% off your purchase right now.
Slim Pickings
I’m all about anything extra that’ll help me control my weight and I’m guessing you feel the same way. And, since I’m going to drink coffee anyway, I might as well get an extra kick out of it with ingredients like garcinia cambogia, ginseng and B vitamins that support diet and metabolism. These single-serve pods are 20% off right now and work in your existing K-Cup machine, delivering a full-bodied flavor finished with fruity notes.
Face The Music
Between YouTube, TikTok, and a plethora of music apps from Spotify to Pandora, there’s a lot of noise surrounding kids these days. These wireless on-ear headphones are designed just for kids but help adults keep their sanity, too. Choose from 10 different color options. These are high-quality, Bluetooth-capable headphones and have a built-in microphone and a volume limitation for hearing safety. Enjoy a 25% discount during Amazon’s sale.
“C” You Later
Who doesn’t want smoother, clearer skin (especially for 20% off)? I know my hand is up. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune either or require multiple visits to an esthetician. This serum is loaded with vitamins C & E, pomegranate, hyaluronic acid, and green tea for good measure. Fight premature aging, keep your skin hydrated and protect it from free radicals with a swipe of this goodness.
A Place In The Sun
This list seems to have an aging (or anti-aging, if you will) theme and I’ll continue it here with these aviator-style bifocal sunglasses that not only improve your vision but also keep your peepers protected from the sun. Choose from gold, gunmetal, or black frames and a variety of magnification options as well as 25% off for a limited time. Reviewers call these “great-looking sunglasses with a classic style.”
Caffeine Dream
If caffeine perks up your insides, what must caffeine applied to your skin do? … You see where I’m going, right? This caffeine eye cream features squalane, hyaluronic acid, and quinoa seed extract to combat puffy eyes and dark circles. The best part is that it works on all skin types so there’s no guessing whether it’s “right for me” or not. Take 20% off this and other No B.S. products right now.
Just Moisture, No B.S.
Moisture seems to be the name of the game when it comes to skincare, especially as you get older. This lightweight moisturizer (now 20% off) protects your skin all day with SPF 20 and other goodies like green tea and vitamin E, and you can wear it under makeup or solo (without that awful white cast some products have). “We love the simple light lotion. It has sunscreen without being greasy,” one reviewer shared.
Hot Sauce In My Bag
Remember my good intentions with the lip balm kit a few products above? I’m unlikely to follow through on making those but I could be easily compelled to try my hand at making my own hot sauce with this DIY kit that includes everything from the ingredients to the bottles to recipes. Choose from standard, deluxe, and Carolina reaper options for one-third off during the sale.
Tea Time
Is coffee not your thing? I mean, you’re wrong but we’ll go with it. I do enjoy a good cup of tea from time to time. This green tea blend features energizing matcha alongside moringa and B vitamins so you’re waking up your body without sacrificing flavor. These come in pod form so you can pop them right in your coffee machine and are on sale for 20% off right now.
Face Cream For Night And Day
Want to protect and correct? Say no more. This duo from No B.S. includes a daytime moisturizer with SPF 20, green tea, coconut oil, vitamin E, and a retinol night cream that works while you sleep. Practice safe sun during the day and wake up to softer, plumper skin. The only thing you have to do? Buy it (for 20% less) and apply.
Clean As A Whistle
Foaming cleansers are my favorite and this one is packed with aloe vera, cucumber, and green tea, is bound to be a hit. One reviewer said, “I love how this face wash is straightforward. Cleans my skin and doesn’t agitate my skin.” Isn’t that all we really want? Just good quality, effective skincare that doesn’t aggravate anything. Use this for any skin type and, for a limited time, save 20% off retail.

This little guy has coenzyme Q10, which your body uses for growth, hyaluronic acid, and jojoba oil among other ingredients. It has none of the bad stuff: No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no petrochemicals, and no artificial fragrances. Enjoy 20% off for a limited time.
Don’t Wait, Hydrate
Coffee is notorious for dehydrating. If that’s an issue for you, give these hydration coffee packets a go. Packaged in easy, grab-and-go, single-serve pouches, this medium roast mixture includes coconut water, Himalayan salt, and magnesium. Electrolytes and added minerals infuse your body and your mind in a clean, crisp roast that has a refreshingly sweet finish. Brew it anywhere; hydrate while saving 20% off.

Pillows have become like the cereal aisle — there are a million varieties for every taste. This cervical roll pillow supports your neck in bed while staying cool but its uses don’t end there. You can use it for knee and back support as well. One reviewer called it a “must-try” if you have back or neck pain while sleeping. Right now, it’s half off which makes it a steal.
Acid Trip
Does your current coffee kick your, um, a-cid? The acid in coffee doesn’t impact everyone but you’ll know if you’re one of the ones impacted because your acid reflux and/or IBS will most definitely let you know. This low-acid option is chemical free and features 100 percent dark roast Arabica coffee so you can have your morning cup … and enjoy it, too. (Enjoy it even more with 20% savings.)

You’ll get 40 different pods so you can decide just what’s right for you and then hone in on it with laser focus. Twenty percent off makes it an even better deal.
Beauty In A Cup

Some of them are practically impossible to get down, which is why I love those beauty ingredients like collagen, biotin, and folate are included in each coffee pod.
