Amazon Prime Day is just two days away, but patience has never been my strong suit, so I’ve been scouting for early deals before the sale officially kicks off. And since I’m a seasoned shopper, I was able to find discounts on some of my favorite tried-and-true beauty products, summer fashion staples, and splurge-worthy statement pieces. From the mascara I’ve worn practically every day for over a year to a 40-percent-off designer bag I’ve been eyeing, I’m spilling the eight editor-approved early deals you won’t want to miss. Keep scrolling for my picks from Kiehl’s, Coach, Levi’s, and more, starting at just $8. 

It’s barely an exaggeration to say that I have recommended the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara to everyone I know—it’s just that good. On sale for only $12, it has out-performed every high-end rival I’ve tried thanks to its creamy, pigmented formula that delivers dramatic, separated lashes without clumping.   

Even though skinny jeans made a comeback earlier this year, I’m still deeply devoted to baggy silhouettes (especially during the summer when tight clothes are extra uncomfy). The Levi’s 94  Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans are a reliable classic if you’re looking for quality denim at a reasonable price.    

I’ve been lusting after Coach’s adorable cherry print line since it was released, and this majorly marked-down shoulder bag may finally be my sign to take the plunge. The retro-inspired print would transform even a simple outfit into a high-fashion moment.  

With a few weddings on my calendar later this summer, I’ve been on the hunt for formal dresses that won’t leave my wallet aching. At less than $50, this flowy chiffon midi dress in a pretty pastel yellow just shot to the top of my wishlist. 

A slicked-back bun or ponytail is a mainstay in my weekly hair rotation, so I rely on a good pomade stick to keep my flyaways in place. With more than 54,000 positive shopper ratings, the $8 Samnyte Hair Wax Stick is the number-one best-selling hair styling wax on Amazon. In other words, I’m hitting “add to cart” ASAP.  

Tkees’ sleek, minimalist flip-flops are my favorite summer sandals, but $50 is definitely on the pricey end for flip-flops, so I jump at any opportunity to snag them on sale. I love the shiny black finish on this pair, which feels a bit dressier than your average beach shoes. 

In my last job as a full-time beauty editor, I tested too many moisturizers to count, but I always came back to the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. The lightweight formula doesn’t clog my breakout-prone pores, yet it’s still intensely hydrating, keeping dry, flakey skin at bay.  

Ganni Yarn-Dyed Striped Blouse

From the romantic puff sleeves to the timeless striped print, this chic Ganni blouse is just the top I’ve been looking for to round out my summer wardrobe. I can’t wait to style it with cuffed white jeans and espadrilles or a boho maxi skirt and ballet flats.
