What we bought during Amazon Prime Day 2024

Our favorite tech buys

Anker 737 power bank

4.6 star average rating from 11,474 reviews on Amazon

I didn't realize how much I needed a power bank until I got one. My days start early and end late, so I feel much safer knowing my phone can charge without relying on a power outlet. I was gifted the Anker power bank for my phone this summer and really wanted to get one that I could use for all of my products. This portable charger works for my phone, laptop, headphones and camera. – Aksha Mittapalli, editorial intern

Our favorite beauty and wellness purchases

Bioderma makeup remover for sensitive skin

4.7 star average rating from 53,270 reviews on Amazon

I use it daily as a first step to remove makeup or sunscreen. I have very reactive, sensitive skin and I use this without any problems. As an editor, I'm always changing up my routine and trying out tons of new products, but this micellar water is a constant for me. I never have a spare bottle in my apartment and always like to stock up on Prime Day. – Lindsay SchneiderTrade Editor

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser

4.7 star average rating from 36,369 reviews on Amazon

I'm rarely disappointed with a La Roche-Posay product I try, and I've had my eye on this popular cleanser for some time. I've used other products from the brand, such as their foaming oil cleanser, and they rarely irritate my seborrheic dermatitis. Plus, since we offer so many similar products to the brand, including cleansers and sunscreens, I knew my experience with this option would be great. – Cory Fernandezeditor

Goody Ouchless hair tie for women

4.5 star average rating from 838 reviews on Amazon

Wherever socks go when you wash them, they're probably hanging out with my hair ties and bobby pins. I use Amazon Prime Day as an opportunity to stock up on my basics, and in fact, I can never have enough scrunchies and scrunchies, especially when they're on sale. I bought two packs of these to have replacements when they inevitably go missing. – Lauren Swanson, Editorial Director

Our favorite clothes and accessories purchases

Adidas Women's Cushioned Quarter 3-Pair Arch Compression Socks

4.6 star average rating from 7,751 reviews on Amazon

As mentioned before, I love stocking up on Amazon Prime Day on things I would buy anyway. My husband and I run out of socks quickly, especially when I'm in the middle of marathon training. I love these because they have a slight compression to reduce swelling and prevent my feet from feeling sore. – Lauren Swanson, Editorial Director

New Balance women's 608 V5 cross trainer

4.5 star average rating from 35,723 reviews on Amazon

The nice thing about the simple white sneakers is that I can really use them for any occasion. I will wear the same sneakers everything, Use them until they run out of life, then get new ones. For this price, there's nothing better than the mileage and comfort that the New Balance 608 V5 offers. My current ones are starting to ask for rest so it's time to replace them. – Aksha Mittapalli, editorial intern

Our favorite purchases for home and kitchen

Glass spice jars

4.7 star average rating from 3,498 reviews on Amazon

My kitchen is tiny, so I have to use every possible surface for storage. I have put shelves on one wall for my spices and I want the spices to be nice and organized as they are kind of like an interior decoration. I'm going to buy these jars and put all my spices in them so everything looks consistent. – Zoe Malinassociated update editor

Organic vegan protein powder from organic farming

4.4 star average rating from 68,413 reviews on Amazon

I have been loyal to Orgain protein powder for over five years. I just ran out of it so I'm going to buy it during Prime Day while it's on sale. All flavors taste great in my smoothies, but I love vanilla and chocolate the most. – Zoe Malin, Associate Updates Editor

LifeStraw Home Water Filter Pitcher

4.2 star average rating from 1357 reviews on Amazon

I held off on purchasing it hoping it would go on sale at some point and voila, here we are. I'm a big fan of water filter pitchers, but many popular options are made of plastic, which I'd like to use less. I love that this option is made of glass and is a size that makes sense for solo living in a small space. – Nikki BrownSEO editor

Our favorite pet purchases

SmartyKat Scratch Up hanging cat scratcher made of corrugated cardboard

4.3 star average rating from 14,448 reviews on Amazon

As a mother of two cats, my apartment is practically covered in scratching boards, but lately I've been investing in products that encourage them to move more (like the very tall scratching post I bought last month). I like that this can hang from a doorknob and doesn't require any complicated installation. – Nikki Brown, SEO Editor
