The Amazon Big Spring Sale is happening now, and it’s a great time to stock up on home, beauty, and travel essentials. The deals are changing quickly and it’s hard to keep up, so I updated my Amazon favorites. Not everything here is part of the sale, but many are—and all are items I personally own or highly recommend.
Amazon Beauty Favorites

splash salve / exfoliKate / tweezers / lip stick / tinted sunscreen / retinol lotion / vitamin C serum / face tanning drops / eye drops / no makeup eyeshadow / setting powder / farmacy cleansing balm / deodorant / nighttime moisturizer / toner / makeup remover pads / eye serum / cleansing balm / waterpik
Hanni Splash Salve // I love this in-shower body mask—it hydrates and conditions, leaving my skin soft and nourished, and eliminates the need for lotion on the days I use it. Just apply it to wet skin after cleansing or shaving, rinse quickly, and pat dry. It works better than lotion and even helps my self-tanner go on more smoothly.
Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment // This has a permanent spot in my shower and is on auto-ship because I never want to run out. It has just the right amount of grit to clear pores, while fruit enzymes and lactic acid exfoliate gently. Honey and aloe keep it from feeling harsh, and my skin is always super smooth and bright afterward.
Tweezerman Exclusive Dusty Rose Slant Tweezer // The best tweezers, so precise, and they stay sharp for years.
LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Modern Classic Lipstick // This lipstick is so rich and creamy, and the color really lasts. I’ve been wearing Real Rosy.
ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless Mineral Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50+ // Recommended by my dermatologist, this tinted mineral sunscreen offers SPF 50+ protection while providing a subtle tint that evens skin tone. I love the lightweight texture—it blends easily without feeling greasy or leaving a white cast.
GoldBond Retinol Overnight Lotion // A JLS community favorite, this hydrating lotion is formulated to visibly tighten and lift skin all while you sleep, and it’s a great price point.
Timeless Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum // I’ve been using this for years. It brightens, evens skin tone, and supports collagen production. The Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid protect against environmental stress, helping improve dull or tired-looking skin.
TAN-LUXE The Face – Illuminating Self-Tan Drops // My favorite tanning drops for the face! I just add a drop or two to my daily moisturizer for a natural, sun-kissed glow.
LUMIFY Eye Drops for Red Eyes // These drops are magic—they take away redness within seconds and leave your eyes looking bright, clear, and refreshed.
Perricone MD No Makeup Eyeshadow // I’ve been raving about this for years, and it’s almost half off! It gives you that “no-makeup look” by adding soft, natural brightness to your lids. The lightweight formula blends effortlessly and stays put all day.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Finishing Powder // My favorite setting powder to apply over foundation in the mornings. I even keep a compact in my purse for touch-ups!
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm // If you want a good “green” cleansing balm, this one’s a winner. It has a subtle, fresh scent and removes every trace of makeup.
Salt & Stone Aluminum-Free Deodorant // A natural deodorant that actually works! It has a subtle, clean scent and keeps me fresh all day.
Replenix Age Restore Nighttime Therapy Face Cream // Another one from my dermatologist, this medical-grade night cream is packed with ceramides, peptides, and green tea polyphenols to improve texture, elasticity, and skin tone while deeply hydrating. It’s the only night cream that can handle my extremely dry winter skin, but I use it year-round.
PCA Skin Nutrient Toner // My favorite facial toner—it exfoliates, refines, brightens, and moisturizes. I use it nightly after cleansing, and I love how it feels and smells.
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum // This popular Korean eye serum helps reduce wrinkles and revitalize the delicate under-eye area. It’s affordable and effective!
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm // My favorite for effortlessly melting away dirt, makeup, and impurities at the end of the day. The luxurious texture feels like a spa treatment, and the scent is absolutely divine.
waterpik waterflosser // It’s amazing how much gunk this gets out—even after flossing! It has three settings so you can adjust it to your needs. (Start on low until your gums toughen up.)

My 2025 Amazon Favorites: Haircare

texture spray / dry shampoo / travel hair dryer / curling iron / dyson hair dryer / ravel brush / shampoo and conditioner duo / hair ties / dream coat / thickening tonic / hair growth laser light
Amika Done Matte Texture Spray // This texture spray gives your hair effortless hold and dimension without stiffness—perfect for achieving that soft, lived-in look.
Living Proof Dry Shampoo // When you need to stretch your style one more day, this is the gold standard. It absorbs quickly, removes oil and dirt, and doesn’t leave residue or a white cast on darker roots.
T3 Afar Travel Light Hair Dryer // This compact, powerful hair dryer is my go-to for travel! It has a folding handle and dual voltage (so it works in Europe too) and makes styling on the go super easy.
T3 Switch Kit Professional Ionic Interchangeable Curling Iron // With three interchangeable barrels, you can create tight curls, soft waves, or voluminous loops—all with one base. Nine heat settings and an ion generator deliver shiny, long-lasting results with less damage.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer // One of my all-time best purchases! It’s powerful, fast, and gentle—hands down the best hair dryer I’ve ever used. I even bring it when I travel (stateside only—it’s not dual voltage) because I hate to be without it.
Mini Wet Brush with Mirror // I’m a big fan of my full-size Wet Brush, so I picked up this mini version for my purse. It works just as well and even includes a small mirror for touch-ups on the go.
Oligo Calura Moisture Balance Cleanser Shampoo & Conditioner Duo // My hairstylist recommended this duo, and it’s been a total game changer for my fine, color-treated hair. It gently cleanses without stripping, keeps my color fresh, and leaves my hair soft and shiny.
Gimme Hair Ties // My go-to for damage-free ponytails that stay put without pulling.
COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray // If you struggle with frizz or dullness, this one’s for you. It gives hair an ultra-glossy, glass-like shine that lasts through multiple washes.
Davines Naturaltech ENERGIZING thickening tonic // This lightweight, volumizing tonic boosts density and fullness. I use it on damp hair to give body and lift without heaviness.
Hairmax LaserBand 82 // Definitely a splurge, but worth considering if your hair is thinning. It takes just 60 seconds a day and uses laser light to stimulate follicles and promote regrowth.

D’orcia Clothing Hangers // These hangers look like wood but have the benefits of plastic—they’re lightweight, durable, and look nice hanging in the closet.

I even pack one in my suitcase because they’re the best for keeping eyeglasses, sunglasses, and smartphone cameras clean and haze-free. They’re lint-free, shed-resistant, and great for everything from mirrors to car interiors.
Shark WANDVAC Cordless Hand Vacuum // This compact cordless hand vacuum makes everyday cleanups effortless. We keep one in the pantry—it’s great for quick messes, especially around the coffee maker (the bean grinder can be messy!).

Luna Bars // I keep these on auto-order—they’re my go-to for quick meals or snacks, and I almost always have one before a workout. Made with organic oats and plant-based ingredients, they have 7–9g of protein and no high-fructose corn syrup… but they taste like a candy bar!
OXO Good Grips Little Salad Dressing Shaker // Handy for mixing up dressings and sauces, and the twist top makes it easy to shake and pour without making a mess.

Thank you for such a helpful post. I love Prime Days but it can be overwhelming. I appreciate that you actually show pictures of each of the items you link…unlike many influencers. There is a pair of flip-flops in one of your graphics that doesn’t have a link or description. Can you post that so I can click through? They are really cute!
Sorry! They are FitFlops, love them! So comfy. https://amzlink.to/az0Sypp2VRUFP
Excellent! Right b4 my little trip! I ordered the pill organizer and the tool for putting on the tricky bracelets! I would have ordered the fitflops too but delivery date was too late for my trip. Thanks!
Do you still have your hair extensions and is that what your beautician recommended?
I do, and most of the hair products listed above are fine with them. They aren’t that fussy, really.
