No Scammy Deals Here: This is What Cosmo Editors Are Actually Buying for Prime Day

“I’m picky about my lip products, but when I discovered these Glass Shine Balms last year, I immediately bought a few more. It’s the perfect shiny, moisturizing consistency, but the color lasts way longer than a lip oil or gloss would. I usually have one of these in each purse and now is the perfect time to restock.” – Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

“I’m a chronic overpacker with zero motivation to change (god forbid I want to wear 26 pairs of underwear on my three-day trip!!!) but a little more space in my suitcase wouldn’t hurt. Enter: this packing cube set with nearly 40,000 glowing reviews and the promise of streamlined luggage.” – Meg Schaltegger, Shopping Writer

“I completely devoured this book on my Kindle, and have been wanting to add a physical copy to my bookshelf for awhile. This is a crazy price for a collector’s edition and was an instant add-to-card for me!” – Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

“I’ve never hit “add to cart” so quickly. Shoppers say this collagen face mask has transformed their complexion and “makes your skin so soft and glowy.” One even adds that “it stays on so well! Even if [they’re] eating or drinking.” Cc: Hailey Bieber.” – Meg Schaltegger, Shopping Writer

“These days, I’ve realized how much a portable charger has become an everyday essential so this is definitely coming home with me. It’s compact, sleek, and can charge multiple devices at once!” – Meg Uy, Associate Shopping Editor

“I loved fluffy slippers in middle school, which is to say that I’ve had taste since I was eleven. Okay, not really, but I’ve been right about the power of a cozy house shoe for years, and this style looks so good with a pair of scrunchy socks.” – Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

“I have this horrible habit of splurging on an overpriced sweatshirt…just to promptly christen it with red wine or a foundation stain—sometimes both! To save myself a lil money (and the inevitable irritation), I’m buying this cozy, shopper-loved hoodie in multiple colors instead. It looks every bit as luxe—and is prob even comfier—than the $150+ versions.” – Meg Schaltegger, Shopping Writer

“I was handed a free sample of this sunscreen at the US Open this year right before I baked in the sun for an hour, and lo and behold, zero sunburn. Consider me sold—I’ve been waiting for the price to drop to grab a full size.” – Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

“One thing I absolutely cannot do is sleep with my hair down—I need to feel the cool side of the pillow against my neck. Since regular scrunchies are too rough on my hair, I always reach for silk or satin ones instead. These Kitsch scrunchies are my go-to: with a strong 4.6-star rating, they leave zero creases in my hair and come in a pack of five—perfect for when one inevitably disappears into the void behind my bed.” – Kim Duong, Deputy Shopping Director

“Science says the cuter and comfier the pajamas, the better the sleep. And guess what? I am science.” – Meg Uy, Associate Shopping Editor

“Even though I live in a 500-square foot studio, the smart speaker I have tucked away near my bed can’t hear my requests—or is just flat-out ignoring me—anytime I’m in the kitchen. So! This Amazon Pop is coming homeeee with me. Cooking is infinitely more fun with Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” on aux.” – Meg Schaltegger, Shopping Writer

“Maybe I was a hoarder in a past life, because there’s nothing I love more than collecting little boxes and pots and ceramic dishes. Brings me comfort, I guess? These heart-shaped ramekins are an undeniable collectors item—they’re perfect for making a single serving of apple crumble or baked oatmeal this fall.” – Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

“If it’s from Medicube, you know I’m adding it to my cart—especially this moisturizer, which is nearly 40% off right now. The Collagen Jelly Cream boosts hydration and gives that glow-from-within look.” – Meg Uy, Associate Shopping Editor

“$6 for a satin pillowcase that will prevent hair breakage, reduce tangles, and yes, even fight wrinkles? I’m sat.” – Meg Schaltegger, Shopping Writer
