Out of thousands of Amazon products, these are the ones our Editors rate most
From the incredibly useful to the endlessly chic
It's Wednesday 17th July, AKA the final day of the Amazon Prime Day sales, so the Marie Claire UK team has been hard at work picking out the best deals to shop. Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: here at Marie Claire UK, we’re all about shopping mindfully, and as the team’s Junior Shopping Editor, I’m probably the strongest advocate of this. Just because a product happens to be massively discounted, that doesn’t mean we’ll blindly add it to our basket, and that goes for the products we recommend too. Enter: our Amazon Prime Day Editors’ picks.
We know that online sale shopping can be tough - and Amazon Prime Day is probably the biggest sale of them all. With so many options to rifle through and choose from, it’s hard to narrow down your search. So that’s why we’ve filtered through the noise to bring you only the best deals. You are very welcome.
These are products we either already use day in, day out or have had our eye on for a while, so it goes without saying that we’d buy them even if they were still full price. The fact that they’re discounted in the Prime Day sale right now? Well, that’s simply a bonus.
While this goes for all the Prime Day deals we’ve been highlighting over the promo period - from fashion and wellness discounts to the best ghd deals - below, we’ve highlighted our very top picks. The crème de la crème of the Amazon Prime Day deals, if you will.
With years of shopping journalism experience under my belt, scouring through the sales to find the very best deals isn’t just my job, it’s my happy place, and you can rest assured that I’ve covered all bases - from air fryers to pimple patches. In my search for the best Prime Day deals, I also enlisted the help of my team members: all experts in their fields, who know a great bargain when they see one.
So without further ado, keep scrolling to shop our Amazon Prime Day Editors’ picks: a carefully curated edit. And don't forget it's your last chance to save - these deals won't be around for long...happy browsing!

Valeza's Prime Day picks
"Amazon’s own fashion brand The Drop never fails to amaze me with its chic designs, and quite a few of them are discounted this Prime Day. I’m a sucker for a ruched-waist dress come summer, and this one immediately caught my eye. With a simple yet sophisticated silhouette, I know I’ll wear it all summer long - and on multiple occasions. I don’t know which I love more: the classic black, pale pink or summery floral red. At this price, I may have to pick up multiple…" - Valeza Bakolli, Junior Shopping Editor
"I've owned this Philips bean-to-cup coffee machine for a few months now and it has completely revolutionised my mornings. It provides me with a massive range of high-quality brews - from flat whites to iced lattes - at the push of a button. My fiancée is utterly obsessed. He keeps inviting people round just to serve them coffee from this machine. It's quite a big investment full price, so I'd highly recommend taking advantage of the 33% discount (which makes it a whopping £222 cheaper)." - Valeza
"I’ve been using this SURI toothbrush for months now and recommend it to everybody I meet. It’s made from sustainable materials (hello recyclable, plant-based heads) and has just about the chicest design I’ve ever seen on an electronic device. It performs impressively and has a useful magnetic mirror mount too, so it’s not just a pretty face. This is the biggest discount the brand has ever applied, so I’ll be buying a few as gifts while it’s on sale for sure." - Valeza
"Simba bedding is notoriously great, and with such high quality often comes a pretty hefty price tag, so I'm definitely eyeing up this hybrid foam mattress topper while it's 20% off!" - Valeza
I own a couple of bags from Troubadour and, IMO, the brand can’t be beaten when it comes to practical-yet-chic design. The bestselling Apex backpack has a sleek, elevated design (no small feat when it comes to work bags) but still manages to fit a surprising amount, with endless pockets for your laptop, phone, pens and other bits and pieces. Oh, and it’s waterproof too! My fiance uses it so much that it’s now basically his, but with such a versatile and universally chic design, I’m really not surprised." - Valeza
"I always utilise Amazon Prime Day to stock up on the beauty products I love and use all the time - the Invisible + acne patches from Hero are a prime example. I simply pop one on at the beginning of the day to conceal, protect and heal my spot, and the translucent material makes them almost invisible on the skin. As a serial pimple picker, these have massively helped to reduce scarring and speed up the healing process for my spots." - Valeza
"I’ve recently moved into a new house, and this Ninja air fryer has been my best friend. Our oven didn’t work for the first few weeks, you see, and I quickly realised I could cook pretty much everything in here - from salmon and vegetables to baked potatoes. There’s a reason the brand is SO popular when it comes to kitchen appliances - sure, they’re pricier than your standard models, but the incredible quality and sleek design speak for themselves. When a Ninja device you’ve had your eye on happens to be discounted for Amazon Prime Day, I think it’s called ‘the stars aligning’. If you’ve been meaning to try a Ninja air fryer, now’s your chance." - Valeza
"I had to do a double take when I saw the 78% discount on these Sloggi leggings. I have the matching crop top and soft bralette and they're some of the softest pieces of athleisure I own, so I'll absolutely be snapping these up while they're well under £10." - Valeza
"I've been wanting a pair of AirPods for a while now, and with the 26% discount for Amazon Prime Day, they're currently well under £100. Bargain." - Valeza
"I’ve owned this Gozney pizza oven for over a year now and trust me - summer hosting will never be the same. I use it to cook pizza but also roast fish and so much more! It looks almost unreasonably chic and has a bunch of complementary tools to choose from. If you’ve been umm-ing and ahh-ing over which pizza oven to choose, I’d highly recommend this one - especially as it’s currently discounted." - Valeza
Shannon’s Prime Day picks
As a small-boobied lady, thin bras that put comfort over everything are my daily go-tos—and this black lacy option from Calvin Klein has been on my want list for a while now. I love the idea of throwing a loose white shirt over the top and letting the bra poke out a little. And now that it's in the sale? It's a done deal." - Shannon Lawlor, Executive Beauty Editor
"I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I receive on my tan whenever I wear this. I'm a low-maintenance beauty editor, so having to wait hours for my tan to get to work isn't ideal. This stuff does its thing in just 30 minutes, leaving behind the most natural-looking, golden glow. I wouldn't dream of ever letting a bottle run out before I've restocked." - Shannon
"My Reebok Club C 85s are, hands down, my most worn and adored trainer. While everyone else was jumping on the Samba hype, I have remained true to the Club C. Why? Because they go with everything, can be dressed up or down, are impossibly comfortable and, frankly, serve as a key point of difference when walking down the street amongst a sea of Adidas stripes." - Shannon
Sofia’s Prime Day picks
"As someone who doesn't feel confident wearing a mini skirt without flashing my underwear, I'm super pro skorts. This A-line number from Amazon's own brand, The Drop, has a super chic silhouette that is high-waisted and pairs well with a comfortable pair of shorts. It also comes in three different colourways and a size range from XXS to 5XL." - Sofia Piza, Fashion Writer
"Levi's ribcage jeans are one of my most hardworking pairs of denim. As I'm currently lacking some darker-wash denim, I'm looking to invest in another colourway during Prime Day." - Sofia
"Animal print is one of the most prominent trends this summer, and a great way to incorporate it into your wardrobe if you're looking to experiment with it is, without a doubt, through footwear. These zebra heeled sandals are a great comfortable option and are currently 25% off." - Sofia
Katie’s Prime Day picks
"I have candles burning all year round and during a recent renovation project, I had to repaint some rooms and I noticed black patches on the wall above where my candles had been lit. This handy tool keeps wicks nice and short, which stops excessive smoking and controls soot." - Katie Thomas, Senior Beauty Editor
"Earlier this year, in a bid to look after my nails more, I took a break from gel manicures. I also started applying cuticle oil as often as I apply lip balm. And I have reaped the benefits since. My nail beds have never looked so healthy. I go through bottles and bottles of the stuff, and at this price I will be restocking with gusto." - Katie
Sunil's Prime Day pick:
"If you’ve been thinking about getting a massage gun then I’d recommend this one.I recently took mine on holiday (yes, you can take it in your carry-on) and it was a game changer. It’s the best thing for easing aching and tired muscles in a jiffy." - Sunil Makan, Editor
Mischa's Prime Day picks
“I’m a bit of a book purist, so I’ve been putting off getting a Kindle for years, but I think it’s time I admit defeat. I have a few trips planned this year, and I have to accept that lugging multiple books around with me is a bit unfeasible. I’ll still invest in books, but I’ll be getting a Kindle for those beach reads.” - Mischa Smith, News & Features Editor
“I made the switch to silky pillowcases a while ago, but I’ve been holding off investing in a proper pure silk pillowcase, even though everyone I know who has one confirms that it’s a game changer. Slip has been on my wish list for about a year, so as soon as I see that price drop, I’ll be making my move” - Mischa
Sophie’s Prime Day picks
"I love the look of these Lee jeans, the length will be great with some sandals or boots as the seasons change. The high waistband is extremely flattering, and with material being 96% cotton they will last for years." - Sophie Cookson, eCommerce Analyst
"I've just moved and have been looking to upgrade my pillows as they have lost their firmness and just in general are a bit sad. These Analin pillows are non-allergenic and have a 4.3 rating from 1,349 reviews which you can't really argue with!" - Sophie
"I'm training for a marathon, and I am looking for something that will help with relaxation after a long run. I've had my eye on this acupressure mat for a while so I am so excited that it's in the sale." - Sophie
"I am going to a wedding in a few weeks and have been looking for some espadrille wedges. I love wrap around design of these ones and this shade of navy will go perfectly with my dress!" - Sophie
"I can't believe the discount on this robot vacuum cleaner which has amazing reviews. It's not going to completely replace my regular hoover but will help keep my home tidy and - most importantly - mop up afterwards, which will be an absolute game changer." - Sophie
"I've been wanting a pair of over ear earrings for over a year, but have held off as they are expensive and I didn't want to compromise on the quality. Now is definitely the time to invest in the Beats Studio3 model, with 60% off - I'm not sure I'll be able to find a better deal anywhere else." - Sophie
"There have been over 2,000 reviews of this workout jacket, and it has a 4.4-star rating which is really impressive! This looks like a really flattering shape and comes in a range of lovely colourways." - Sophie
Dionne’s Prime Day picks
"It's not often I say that I can't live without a beauty product, but as soon as I finished my first bottle of Color Wow Dream Coat, it became a love affair I knew would last a lifetime. I didn’t believe the TikTok hype at first, but since I tried it for myself, my hair has never felt softer or been smoother. I recommend this product to all my friends, but at £27, it's not the cheapest. So, I always stock up during Prime Day and tell everyone I love to do the same. I know that £27 is an investment for a hair product, but when it's under £20 during sales, it's so worth it and lasts much longer than you would imagine." - Dionne Brighton, Social Media Editor
"Perricone MD is my go-to brand for skincare that I know really works, and this Vitamin C serum is a must-have in my skincare routine. It works brilliantly to improve discoloration and dark spots and instantly brightens. I use it every day, so I’m nearly out. As it’s a little on the pricier side, I always wait for it to go on sale to stock up. This is definitely on my list to look out for in the Amazon Prime Day sale." - Dionne
Ally’s Prime Day picks
"I swear by my walking desk pad for those busy days when I can’t get out of the house but still want to hit my step count. This one is reduced by 33% right now and will help to keep you moving while you’re on a work call or even watching Netflix." - Ally Head, Senior Health Editor
"Struggle to wake up in the morning? Honestly, same. Sunrise alarm clocks have completely upgraded my morning routine, gently easing me awake with simulated sunlight that doesn’t disturb my circadian rhythm. The highly-rated Lumie Bodyclock is reduced by 22%." - Ally
When is the next Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day might be over this year, but there tends to be two big Prime Day-level Amazon sale events throughout the year. While we don't know the date just yet, the next one usually falls around mid-end of October, so expect some more editors' Prime Day picks to come your way then!
