As a veteran deal hunter, these are the 9 Amazon Prime Day discounts I couldn’t resist

Cosrx Low PH Good Morning gel cleanser 150ml | $25 $13.59 (save $11.41)
As a girl who loves her skincare, I couldn’t pass on stocking up on one of my favourite facial cleaners, especially given that it’s currently 46% off. From popular Korean beauty brand Cosrx, this low-PH cleaner has a gel consistency and contains BHA and tea-tree oil, leaving your face feeling clean and fresh. This will be my third bottle of this cleanser, and I’m clearly not the only one who loves it given its 4.5-star rating from over 17,000 reviews on Amazon.

Herbissh Hair Wax Stick | $13.99 $10.07 (save $3.92)
Slick back pony tails and buns are all the rage at the moment and I am a big fan – especially when my hair is already a bit greasy and I can’t be bothered to wash it. In saying that, the hairstyle may look effortless but it’s really not. Getting all your hair to stay in the same direction without any frizz or fly isn't always an easy task. To make it more straightforward, I've wanted to try a hair wax stick for a while now and Prime Day has given me the perfect opportunity. I am yet to try it, but I have high hopes for this product... and hey, if it doesn't work, it was only $10.

Remington Proluxe Salon hair dryer | $99.95 $66.99 (save $32.96)
As a writer for a deals website, I know all about hair appliances and I often write about high-end products such as the Dyson Airwrap. However, when it comes to my own personal haircare routine, I can’t justify spending hundreds of dollars on styling tools – especially since I'm someone who only really uses a hair dryer in winter and, even then, only to get my hair from sopping wet to slightly-less-wet. Unfortunately, my trusty old hairdryer is on its last legs, prompting me to opt for this Remington model. Coming from a reputable brand and down 30%, it wasn’t crazily expensive and has decent reviews. I used it last night and I'm stoked with it considering the price.

John Frieda Brilliant Burnette Colour Vibrancy shampoo and conditioner 2 x 500ml Pack | $52.86 $37.22 (save $15.64)
I recently dyed my hair darker and I’ve realised that the colour fades very quickly if I wash it using normal shampoo and conditioner, so I decided it was time to purchase some special brunette products. I’ve heard of John Frieda before and this two-pack of shampoo and conditioner is currently 30% off, bringing it down to just over $37 for both. It also has pretty impressive reviews, with a 4.5-star rating from over 700 reviews, so I’m excited to give them a go!

BSN Syntha-6 Ultra Premium Protein Blend (chocolate; 48 Servings) | $129.95 $89.10 (save $40.85)
Seeing as I was doing an order for myself, I quite considerately asked my partner if he needed anything. His response was ‘protein powder and white socks’... typical man.
If you’ve ever bought protein powder before, you’d know that the options are endless and rarely cheap. I ended up consulting with my partner and we decided on this BSN SYNTHA-6 one because it offered the most value. With the current 31% discount, you get 48 servings for just over $89. He hasn’t tried it yet, but you can’t really go wrong with chocolate milkshake flavour and 22 grams of protein per serve.

Closemate Mens Performance Cushion Athletic Crew Socks (6 Pairs) | $34.67 $28.79 (save $5.88)
My partner's second request, despite him already owning what seems like a thousand pairs. Apparently you can never have too many. So, I went with the safe option and bought him this six-pack from Closemate that I’ve purchased for him before. Even better, it’s currently 17% off. He’s a fan and apparently so are many others, seeing as they have an average of 4.6 stars from almost 2,000 customer reviews.

Dyson V8 Extra Cordless Vacuum | $799 $369 (save $430)
When I mentioned to my mum that I was writing about Amazon Prime Day deals, she asked if I had seen any good discounts on stick vacuum cleaners because she wanted to invest in a new one. I asked her budget and then recommended the Dyson V8 Extra which is the brand’s cheapest handstick, made even better thanks to the current 54% discount. She wasn’t hard to convince thanks to the generous discount so I made the purchase for her yesterday. Unfortunately since buying, this product has sold out so it’s currently unavailable – but the sale is still young, so we’re hoping it may come back in stock later this week.

DigitConvert Kids Wireless Karaoke Microphone Machine | $23.99 $17.99 (save $6)
This one is (very) random but one of my good friends is hosting a girls night this weekend where we all have to make PowerPoint presentations on a random topic and present it to the group. She wanted to do things properly and buy a microphone, so I made this purchase for her. Not only is it battery-operated and wireless, but it’s also gold and shiny.

TZAONEN Telescopic Teachers Pointer 5 Pack | $12.99 $10.39 (save $2.60)
Along with the bedazzled microphone, I also purchased this five-pack of pointers (in all different colours) so we can professionally present our PowerPoints and ensure the audience doesn’t miss any crucial details. The best bit is, there are five different colour options so we all get to pick a different colour (I’ve already got dibs on the pink one).
