Amazon Prime Day is coming!

From July 8th through July 11th, we'll be wading through the mountains of bargains for you to find some of the best deals in every category. For *now*, we're finding the best pre-Prime Day deals and reminding you to sign up for a Prime membership so you can take advantage of the sale!

1. Y0140 iRobot Roomba for 49% off (the best price yet) because if robots are gonna steal our jobs, it might as well be the bad ones. This bagless machine vacuums AND mops at the same time with a special brush, meaning you might actually have clean floors for once.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this robot. We got this because our baby is constantly on the floor, so we just wanted a little extra help with keeping the floors clean. We run it every night, and seeing how much it picks up blows our mind. We have two dogs, so dog hair and Cheerios are mainly what we get, but it has definitely made a difference with our floors on top of what we already do to keep our floors clean. Highly recommend. We have vinyl wood floors, so it runs fine on it, but it can go on carpet as well. We just leave the room doors closed because it is very loud when it runs and we don’t want it to come into the rooms." —Makayla

Price: $139.99 (originally $274; also available in two other styles for a different or no discount)

2. A super cute one-piece swimsuit for up to 50% off with ruched details and a fun cut-out design that will have people falling over themselves to compliment you. Just remind them there's no running by the pool after you brag that you scored it at its lowest price ever.

amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I had to come on here and rave about this bathing suit. I NEVER leave reviews. I have literally tried at least 10 bathing suits from different stores including Amazon due to postpartum. This bathing suit is IT. The ruching is in the right places, and the cut of the bathing suit is so nice. I love that it looks like a two-piece. Get it!" —Ruby B.

"The best one-piece swimsuit I’ve ever worn! So comfy and the fit is so chic. Great suit for the price!" —Leslie

Price: $19.99+ (typically $39.99; available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 styles)

3. A lightning-fast ionic hair dryer and diffuser for 50% off reviewers say will dry your hair faster than you can text your friend "leaving now." It comes with two nozzles for straight and curly hair, so this quiet, lightweight dryer is kind of a must-buy.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "The 150,000 RPM motor is incredibly powerful — it dries my thick, shoulder-length hair in under 5 minutes. This is a huge time-saver, especially on busy mornings. My hair feels smoother, shinier, and far less frizzy after each use. No more static flyaways either. This dryer is surprisingly lightweight and compact without sacrificing performance. It's easy to handle, and it doesn’t take up much space in my travel bag. It easily rivals more expensive salon brands at a fraction of the price." —Amazon Customer

Price: $59.99 (typically $119.99; available in two colors)

4. Quick-dry retractable gel pens for 36% off perfect for bullet journalers, dedicated color coders, and type A+ people looking for a superior writing utensil option. Reviewers confirm these don't smudge, and the colors really pop.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These are my absolute favorite pens. I feel like they are priced pretty fair for how many you get in one package. I love all the different colors. They feel good and have a nice weight to them. They don’t skip or bleed." —Jessica Butler

Price: $9.65 (typically $15)

5. Mixsoon Bean Essence for 44% off, a K-beauty darling that uses fermented pomegranate as a natural chemical exfoliant to remove flaky, dead skin and fermented barley to hydrate and brighten after, so your face can feel glowy and fresh instead of red and irritated.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores; it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and were left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well on everyone on the first try, and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa

"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMae

Price: $13.95+ (typically $25+; available in two sizes)

6. A set of limited edition Band-Aids for 26% off with cute floral designs because who said a papercut can't be a fashion statement? Technically, you're only saving ~$1, but that's high-key a steal when you realize you're getting 30 bandages for less than $3 — the best price you'll find!

Amazon

Promising review: "Cute, retro, and good quality. Perfect for summertime cuts and scrapes. Comes with three sizes in the box, each in a different pattern." —R&M 

Price:$2.79 (originally $3.77; also available in tie-dye) — clip the on-screen coupon to get this deal!

7. A six-pack of Twinings teabags for up to 39% off because there's nothing worse than having a sore throat or rough morning, only to open your cabinet to reveal ZERO cuppa options. Stock up (120 bags in total!) and never be without your beloved peach and orange herbal tea again.

Amazon

Some flavors require that you subscribe and save to access an on-screen coupon. 

Promising review (for the lemon ginger flavor): "The best ginger tea ever!!! Tastes fresh with ginger taking center stage! I’ve tried so many ginger teas over the years and have not liked any of them. They all have an odd, overpowering herbal taste with ginger not coming through. In desperate times, I’ve made my own with fresh ginger, but it’s so tedious and inconvenient. Twinings did it right! The second I put the teabag in hot water, I knew it was going to be good because the water turned into a beautiful, gingery color vs. weird brown tan like other so-called ginger teas. If you’re looking for a true ginger taste, slightly spicy, aromatic with ginger taking center stage, and the convenience of a teabag, try this one!!! You can’t beat the price either." —Annonymous

Price: $13.60+ (originally $18.13+; available in 62 flavors, but not all will be discounted)

8. A Lego sunflower kit for 47% off for decor you can build yourself. The 191-piece set comes with everything you need to build two stems, and at $7.94, it's a steal compared to most Lego kits.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This Lego set was perfect for my 7-year-old! It was fun, easy to put together, and didn’t take more than an hour to complete. The instructions were clear, and my child enjoyed every minute of building it. It's the perfect balance of challenging yet doable for a younger builder. Plus, the finished product looks great! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fun, quick Lego project for kids." —berydiana

Price: $7.94 (originally $14.99)

9. A UPF 50 beach tent for 20% off (the cheapest you can get it for) to create a lil' den-like area for the sun-fearing beachgoers among us. It has room for up to 10 people (depending on what size you get), folds up nicely for easy traveling, and promises not to easily blow away in the wind like some umbrellas I know. 😒

amazon.com

Promising review: "This beach tent sun shelter was fantastic for keeping my toddler safe from the sun on our beach days. The UPF fabric provided excellent shade, blocking out harsh rays and keeping the inside noticeably cooler. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, with a quick setup that didn’t require any complicated tools. The tent is spacious enough for my toddler to play comfortably and has good ventilation to keep the air flowing. I appreciated the stability too — it stayed put even on windy days. A must-have for any family beach trip with young kids!" —Misty

Price: $31.99+ (originally $39.99+; avilable in five sizes and eight colors) — and shop all the deals on "Summer Favorites" here

10. Ribbed tanks for 40% off (the best price so far) because every great outfit starts with a great basic to layer with. It comes in a gazillion colors, washes well, and, according to reviewers, feels high quality despite costing about the same as a Happy Meal.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I seriously love this tank top! I plan on buying several more in different colors. The material is so comfortable. It's soft and breathable, but not thin. It covers my armpit areas. I love how high the neckline is and gives great overall coverage. Definitely worth the price and good value for your money. It's definitely a staple item for your wardrobe." —A. Hunter

Price: $8.99 (originally $14.99; available in sizes XS–XXL and 32 colors)

11. A pack of hair tinsel for 33% off (its best price) so you can fairy out with cute sparkles that add some dimension and otherworldly flair to your normally mundane 'do. Use single strands for a magical "just walked out of the lake to give King Arthur a sword" look or larger bunches for a Camp Rock vibe.

Amazon, amazon.com

The set comes with 18 colors (8,600 strands), a crochet tool, pliers, clips, rubber bands, and more.

Promising review: "We were on vacation, and a woman at a street fair was doing this for $5 a strand. When I realized I would get a whole packet for almost that price, I ordered it right away. This was easy to use and lasted months. She just wanted to change colors. This would be a fun idea for a family gathering or kid's birthday party. It is definitely worth the money." —karen

Price: $9.97 (originally $14.99; also available in 18 other non-sale styles)

12. A TirTir cushion foundation for 40% off promising up to 72 hours of buildable coverage to help hide redness, blemishes, dark circles, and other unwanted discoloration. The oval-shaped puff makes it easy to get this heavenly product in every nook and cranny for a seamless satin finish. As a bonus, it's made with red propolis extracts that have antimicrobial properties.

amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com

Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation. Some reviewers note this foundation can be a little drying, so it might not work for people with dry skin.

Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." —AJ Bond

Price: $15 (originally $25; available in 40 shades, but not all shades are on sale)

13. Waterproof wireless earbuds for 25% off that are weirdly affordable when you consider their amazing sound, supreme comfort, *and* fancy LED charging case that lets you know exactly how much charge is left. Weird that other, pricier earbud sets don't do that?

amazon.com

Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don’t have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin

"These are the best quality earbuds for the price! I found them through TikTok and have zero regrets. I’d definitely repurchase if needed." —Hamrick

Price: $25.98+ (typically $37.99; available in nine colors)

14. A bottle of Boldify hair-building fibers for 24% off, which cling to your strands to create a fuller effect. The particles temporarily "fill in" sparse areas on your head to give you thicker-looking hair in seconds. Seal it with hairspray, and it'll last all day!

amazon.com, amazon.com

If you're in between two shades, try the darker option. To use, sprinkle over thinning areas on the crown or part line and pat it in. It'll wash out with your next shampoo. If you're not getting the desired effect, consider starting with this hairline powder as a base.

Promising review: "I have AA 4c hair that I recently cut super short. When it was long, my thin spots around the hairline were concealed. So, with my hair short, they were apparent and made me self-conscious. I purchased Boldify with just a little skepticism. I am so glad I purchased it. The application is easy and does not stain clothing. Be careful not to scratch your head throughout the day because you will see the dark coloring under your fingernails. It is a large bottle for the price. I will continue to buy and recommend." —Jza Jza

Price: $17.44 (originally $22.95; available in 14 colors; also available in four sizes and a two-pack)

15. Sporty ice molds for up to 42% off so you can hit it out of the park every time you serve drinks. They're easy to prepare and melt slower than normal ice cubes, making them great for future summer BBQs.

Amazon

Pro tip: If you want pristine-looking ice with zero bubbles or cloudiness, boil your water before using the molds.

Promising review: "Got this for whiskey, and the ice cubes come out great! They actually look like golf balls. They're slow to melt and make whiskey drinking more pleasurable. Would recommend. Very easy to use!!" —J

Price: $7+ (originally $11.99; available in six styles, but the soccer balls are not on sale)

16. Maree disposable pads for up to 25% off that tone, hydrate, or exfoliate, depending on what style you grab. Dream team, if you ask me!

amazon.com, Amazon

The retinol and collagen pads help hydrate, maintain skin firmness, and support your skin barrier. The glycolic acid pads help renew your skin, work to clear clogged pores, and leave your skin tone glowing. The witch hazel pads use salicylic acid to help even skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes.

Promising review (for the glycolic acid pads): "Not every day I write a review on a product, but hands down I stand with this one. I have VERY SENSITIVE SKIN! VERY! So I decided to give this a shot. The problem is I am a stress picker (I pick my face when there is nothing there). I started using these day and night after washing my face, and I am telling you the difference is wild! I am much more confident without makeup, and my skin looks great! Definitely 10/10." —Bree

Price: $18.71+ (typically $25)

17. A puffy sleeve top for up to 62% off so darling, even teddy bears will get jealous. The square neckline is basically like a giant spotlight for your favorite necklace, and since you're saving some money here, you can afford to grab another chain!

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This top is super cute and stylish and can be dressed up or down! Washed and dried with little to no wrinkling — I hung it up immediately after drying. This top is more slim fitting, rather than boxy or flowy, but is very nice. You could size up if you want a looser fit. True to size and seems well made with lightweight, but not too thin, fabric. Color is very pretty! The price was affordable." —Annepato

Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 26 colors/patterns)

18. A 50-pack of gold-colored eye masks for 21% off made with glycerin to give your eye bags the shot of hydration they need to get up and GO. Reviewers said the refreshing patches helped them reduce puffiness, redness, and dark circles. Spa day, anyone?

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Has so much serum in it! My eyes like this eye mask! Great deal for quality and quantity. Plenty of serum in the package that I use on my forehead, outer eye corners, and eyelids. I put these in the fridge and get two uses out of them. My face looks more awake and rested from these alone!" —Alexia

Price: $21.24 (typically $26.95 also available in seven other pack sizes and three other styles at different discounts)

19. A Simple Modern tumbler for up to 42% off with double-wall insulation that reviewers say can keep drinks cold up to 24 hours. On top of Jack Bauer-level protection, the stainless steel mug comes in a ton of cute colors and patterns like leopard print and skeletons. Not too shabby if you don't care about brand names!

amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs; I got cute cloud ones (like these), and they work perfectly!" 

Price: $25.90+ (originally $44.99; available in 28 styles)

20. Galison Purrfect Accessories for 25% off — the best price so far! The 500-piece puzzle features paw-sitively adorable accessories like an earred phone case, cat-eye glasses, and feline-forward stationery. Be sure to show your cat when you're done so they can roll their eyes at you.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have completed about a puzzle a week for the last two years. This is my favorite one. It is fun and easy with delightful details; the gold was unexpected." —40 and Fabulous!

Price: $12 (originally $15.99)

21. Snacks, breakfast items, and bevvies you can score for $5 off when you spend $20 (so, 25% off). Groceries shouldn't cost an arm and a leg (you only have two sets, after all), so load up on banana chips, mini Doritos, Quaker oatmeal, and more while you can.

Amazon, amazon.com, amazon.com

Get the flavored seltzer here, the Gatorade chews here, the pickle pretzel twists here, and see all the snack options here.

22. The Frontal Queen lace melting spray for 31% off to give your wigs extra hold and help the lace blend seamlessly onto your skin. Spray on this water-resistant formula, blow dry, put on your wig, let it set, and hopefully avoid a "have you worn wigs?"-type interview.

amazon.com, Amazon

The Frontal Queen is a Black-owned small business that sells products for styling wigs and baby hair.

Promising review: "Let me tell you, if you want your lace to MELT, get this product. I was in shock when I saw my lace disappear! I will always be buying this for my lace. 😩" —Sarah

Price: $14.50 (originally $20.99)

23. Philips Hue smart LED lightstrip base kit for up to 29% off so you can add a futuristic touch to your home. The strips come with adhesive for easy installation, work with most smart home assistants, and can cycle through super vibrant colors. Use the included app to customize the mood, whether it's time for Rainbow Road-style video gaming or a moody bubble bath.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This has created a whole different vibe in my room. Love the variety of colors and that I can change the color or brightness with a simple command to Alexa. I need more of these throughout my house." —Sniglett

Price: $49.99+ (originally $69.99+; available in three lengths)

24. A bold red Ember temperature-control smart mug for 23% off to help extra-particular drinkers keep their coffee or tea at the exact right temperature. They can control the vessel through an app to ensure that their cuppa is consistently hot from the first sip to the last. There are even presets for specific drinks.

Amazon

Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I hate it when my coffee gets cold. I was originally looking for one of those warming coasters, but then I saw the Ember mugs...there was no turning back. I can take my coffee with me into my boss's office and it still stays hot?? Yes, please. I used that app and have adjusted my temp down to 127 degrees. It stays at that temperature the entire time. I’ve not had an issue with battery life either; it doesn’t take me more than an hour to polish off a cup of coffee. I HIGHLY recommend." —Mathews

Price: $99.95 (originally $129.95; also available in another size and nine other colors, which might not be on sale)
