Prime Day is back (this year slightly later than the year before), and that means lots of great deals on covetable beauty buys. Lots of Strategist-approved things are on sale, including an assortment ofGHD straighteners, which Michelle Obama’s hairstylist, Yene Damtew, uses to style her hair. If you missed out on last year’s sale, there are a few products we called out in 2021 that you’ll be able to grab again, including the TikTok-famousNūFace Mini, which, at $144, is just a fraction of the price, and the Strat-favorite Waterpik, which we dubbed the “only thing worth buying on Prime Day.” On the topic of Strategist favorites, there are a bunch this Prime Day: Aquaphor’s popular healing ointment (beloved byAccutane usersandRyan Destiny), and the Laneige Lip Balm, which we dubbedthe best glossy balm. Most everything we recommend will be something you recognize (or from a brand we’ve written about before). We’ve also triple-checked prices to make sure it’s an actually good deal.
As always, we expect deals to go quickly, so we’ll be checking this post regularly throughout the day. And in case you’re in the market for more than face-sculpting devices and glow-y lip balm, check out ourPrime Day hubor our Twitter, which we’re updating regularly.

Like last year, we’re highlighting the NūFace, a facial device that tightens and tones using micro-currents that send little electrical signals to your muscles and skin cells — the idea being that, over time, this will build up the muscle and leave skin looking lifted and toned. It’s currently all over TikTok, but we’ve written about it plenty of times before, withRio Viera-Newton notingthat it changed the natural contour of her face. “I noticed that the elasticity in my skin was tauter and that the hollows of my cheeks were more apparent,” she says.
