I'm Giving Myself a $500 Budget for Amazon Prime Day—These 13 Fashion and Beauty Items Are in My Cart
Chic basics, dewy-skin heroes, workout staples, and more.
At the risk of sounding alarm bells, allow me to gently remind you that today is the last day to save big on fashion, beauty, and home staples during Amazon Prime Day. Snag those basic white tees! Stock up on Korean sunscreen! Secure the air fryer! Don't worry if today is your first time perusing the retailer. Trust me. You won't be left with slim pickings. While I curated my own Prime Day wish list for weeks in preparation for the epic shopping event, I've been deeply inspired by my stylish coworkers over the four discount-filled days and decided to add a few more items to the lineup. That said, I've done a ton of shopping this sale season—hey, lots of summer travel and events coming up—so I'm committing to one more round of last-chance buys with a max budget of $500.
Here, discover the items that made the cut, from a streak-free self-tanning lotion to trendy jelly sandals to, yes, that coveted air fryer. (I had to!)

13 Fashion, Beauty, and Wellness Items to Shop During Amazon Prime Day
This is the only self-tanning product I used before my wedding. It fades so naturally, never looking streaky or patchy, and the santal fragrance smells divine. No yucky self-tanning aroma here! I'm definitely due for a refill, so I'm stocking up while it's 15% off.
You can always catch me buying minimalist basics on Prime Day. You can never have enough solid tanks, IMO.
Oh my god, the glow. This pearl powder– and collagen-infused essence makes you look like a dewy angel, and it's the perfect prep layer before makeup. It won a WWW 100 Beauty Award for a reason!
I have somehow yet to succumb to the air-fryer frenzy, but everyone I know who has one is obsessed. (My friends are always shocked I still use a conventional oven.) Snagging this one, which looks compact enough to fit on my countertop, at 47% off seems like a good idea!
It doesn't get any more classic than EltaMD. While the UV Daily is a staple, the UV Daily Hydration+ has even stronger plumping power. In fact, I often use it alone as my sole moisturizer during the summer months.
If this isn't the best shoe deal on Prime Day… Vince sneakers at 78% off!
This sunscreen-oil hybrid smells so intoxicating that the brand launched a stand-alone perfume to match. Trust me. It'll be the best-smelling sunscreen you'll ever own. I also love the car air freshener—very retro.
Who What Wear Shopping Director Bobby Schuessler fully convinced me to buy this half-zip.
Yes, this best seller is worth the hype. My husband is obsessed with it too, so I make sure to buy at least two bottles whenever it goes on sale.
Every fashion person around me has been sporting jelly sandals, and these lavender Schutz beauties are the perfect pair to hop on the trend.
This is the number one best-selling eye serum on Amazon, so I don't expect it to stay in stock for long. I'm grabbing two for $22 just in case.
Okay, this weighted vest doesn't exactly scream fashion, but I've been itching to use one to level up my incline walks and neighborhood strolls. This one from Lifepro even comes with detachable ankle weights for leg workouts, and for 50% off, that seems like a steal.
I've been very creatine-curious as of late! I already swear by Lemme's sleep gummies, so I'm inclined to try these for lean muscle mass and recovery.
