PSA: Color Wow's Dream Coat Spray is 30% off for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is here, giving Prime members exclusive access to deals across categories like beauty and wellness, vacuums and kitchen appliances. If you're looking to restock your hair care essentials or just want to try something new, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of formulas from some of our favorite brands, including Color Wow. Its signature defrizzing product, the Dream Coat spray, is currently 30% off this Prime Day. This Color Wow spray coats hair in heat-activated polymers that defy humidity to keep hair smooth and well-behaved no matter the weather, according to the brand. I recently used it before attending a rooftop cocktail party in the rain and couldn't believe how well my blowout held. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio also loves it because it's lightweight, color-safe, suitable for all hair types and doubles as a heat protectant, while NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin uses the curly version for frizz-free diffusing. 'I've been using this for over two years and I literally don't remember what it was like to blow dry my hair without it,' says NBC Select associate social media editor Caitlin Cusack. 'I have super frizzy hair and this product makes a noticeable difference with frizz and leaves my hair feeling soft for days between washes.' The extra-strength version is also 30% off for Prime Day. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a freelance writer for NBC Select who has covered deals and sales for three years. To evaluate the quality of this Color Wow Dream Coat deal, I ran it through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure it's at its lowest price in at least three months. I also made sure it's a highly rated item, at least 20% off and has at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of reviews.

This stellar Nespresso machine just dropped to its lowest price — get it now for almost 40% off
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is underway, which means all Prime members get exclusive access to deals across every major category including kitchen appliances, household essentials and vacuums. If you need a coffee maker or espresso machine, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of models. Beloved by NBC Select editors because it's compact, sleek and easy to use, the Nespresso VertuoPlus is a coffee and espresso machine in one — and it's on sale for 35% off this Prime Day. The Nespresso VertuoPlus is one of the best espresso machines for at-home baristas. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio uses it every morning to make delicious beverages at the press of a button. It automatically adapts to each coffee pod to optimize the size, brewing temperature and pressure. Plus, it has a removable 40-ounce water tank. This machine also includes a frother that can steam hot or cold milk. 'I'm a fan of espresso-based drinks, but could never afford an espresso maker to brew them at home,' says Godio. 'I bought the Nespresso as a budget-friendly alternative around three years ago, and it's been the best decision — the coffee tastes great and I love using the milk frother, which heats the milk and helps keep my coffee hot. The only con is that the pods are expensive, but worth it.' Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Why trust NBC Select?

Suitable for all skin types, it's one of the best shower oils of 2025. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio, who's gone through five to six bottles in the past year alone, says it smells 'absolutely incredible' and that 'the subtle almond scent lasts for hours post-shower.'

I'm a beauty writer — these are the 9+ best Prime Day beauty deals I'm shopping
Amazon Prime Day is here, offering discounts on beauty and wellness items during the four-day sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on tech, kitchen appliances, household essentials and more. I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day beauty deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I'll frequently update this list throughout Prime Day. Best Prime Day beauty deals You can use this teeth whitening kit — which is an NBC Select Wellness Award winner — to gently remove both old and new stains in as little as two weeks, according to the brand. Each pack comes with 18 treatments, all of which use enamel-safe hydrogen peroxide as the key whitening ingredient. This Laneige lip mask is one of our absolute favorites — it has oils, butters and antioxidants to hydrate and protect your lips overnight. Our editors love that it keeps their lips feeling soft and moisturized, and say it's great for soothing irritation and dryness in the wintertime. You can use this viral shower oil to cleanse your skin in the shower and even replace your shaving cream. It has hydrating sweet almond oil, which gives it a vanilla-almond scent that NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio says is not too overpowering. The Dyson Airwrap has three attachments that allow you to blow dry, curl and volumize your hair, according to the brand. It also has three airflow speeds and three heat settings, along with a cooling 'cold shot' feature. Former 'The Traitors' star Dorinda Medley told us she loves using these wipes to take off her makeup on the go. The disposable wipes are infused with micellar water to help you remove makeup, oil, bacteria and more without pulling or tugging, according to the brand. There are two packs, which have 25 wipes each. Olaplex's products are my favorites to use on wash days, and this kit has everything you need to get through an entire routine. It includes full sizes of the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, the No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner and the No.7 Bonding Oil, all of which hydrate, detangle and nourish hair by repairing damaged hair bonds, according to the brand. Sun Bum's Daily Face sunscreen made the top five on our 100 best sunscreens ranking, and this body spray version has the same broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. It has vitamin E to moisturize your skin, plus it's noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. It's also water-resistant and reef-safe, making it ideal for a day at the beach. This body wash has glycerin to protect skin from dryness and provide moisture that lasts all day, according to the brand. The gentle, gel formula makes it great for sensitive skin. It's available in a variety of scents and has easy-to-use pump packaging. This moisturizer is fragrance-free, gentle and absorbs quickly into the skin. It has ceramides and niacinamide to hydrate skin, and layers well underneath makeup. A little also goes a long way with this moisturizer — NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin says that since she doesn't need to use a lot at a time, the tube tends to last a while. Malin uses the curly-hair version of this anti-frizz spray daily, and says it smooths out her curls while locking in definition. The heat-activated polymers in the spray protect your hair from moisture, preventing frizz and helping your hairstyle stay shiny, healthy and intact, according to the brand.
