The Dyson Airwrap I.D is literally my prized possession and it's been slashed by £80 for Prime Day
AMAZON has been dropping some incredible deals for its Prime Day sale, and I've spotted a huge discount one of the beauty world's best-loved products. The Dyson Airwrap I.D has been slashed by an impressive £80 for the shopping event, taking it down from £479.99 to £399.99. Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer, £399.99 (was £479.99) The air styler is the most sought-after beauty tech tool, so it's rare to see it be slashed so significantly. I got my Dyson Airwrap I.D earlier this year and I can honestly say that it's transformed my haircare routine. After years of trying and failing to master the art of a bouncy blow-out, the Airwrap's user-friendly design has been a game-changer for me. The I.D is an upgraded version of the original model, which can be controlled through your smartphone. Using the Dyson app, beauty fans are able to create a personalised styling routine, which makes the Airwrap switch between the settings automatically. It comes with a storage case and six attachments, including two of the iconic auto-wrap barrels. Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer, £399.99 (was £479.99) BUY HERE There are two versions designed for either straight/ wavy hair or curly/ coil hair, with different attachments to suit each hair type. Both versions have been slashed to £399.99 in the Amazon Prime sale, but it's unclear how long the deal will be running. For more information on the viral buy, you can ready my full review of the Dyson Airwrap I.D. The hair drying nozzle and the 40mm curling barrel are my go-to attachments for creating bouncy curls, and I've found the key to ensuring the style stays in place all day is to use a mousse while the hair is still wet. My favourite is the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumiser, which is also on sale for Amazon Prime Day. It's reduced by an impressive 43% right now, so shoppers can pick it up for £13.68 instead of £24. You can follow The Sun's live blog for all the top Amazon Prime Day deals as they come in. Amazon's shopping extravaganza is live from 8-11 July, but deals are constantly changing. There are plenty of incredible beauty deals currently in the Amazon sale, including Color Wow's viral Dream Coat Spray that's been slashed by 41%. The multifunctional spray works to fight frizz and give a glossy finish to the hair once it's been activated by heat. Fake tan fanatics have also been rushing to pick up the cult St. Tropez One Hour Express Tan, and it's at its lowest price of £12.25 for a 200ml bottle that usually costs £33.

Do you really save money on Prime Day?
One of the biggest online shopping events of the year — Prime Day — will take place July 8-11 across 26 countries. What began in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon's anniversary has since grown into a multiday retail extravaganza that rivals Black Friday and Cyber Monday in both hype and sales volume. But amid the excitement, an important question remains: Do you really save money on Prime Day? Here's what you need to know before loading up your virtual cart. Prime Day is a global sales event created by Amazon that allows Prime members to access exclusive discounts and deals on a number of products across the site. The first Prime Day took place a decade ago to mark Amazon's 20th anniversary. It has since evolved to span several days throughout many countries, with this year's Prime Day event being the longest so far at four days. Shoppers can score limited-time deals on a wide range of products, from big-ticket electronics and home appliances to beauty products, clothing, and Amazon's own devices like Echo speakers and Fire tablets. And millions participate each year. In 2024, global sales for Amazon Prime Day totaled $14.2 billion over a 48-hour period, according to Capital One Shopping Research. Keep in mind that to access these deals, you must be a Prime member, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. However, Amazon offers a free 30-day trial, allowing new users to shop the event without paying up front. Read more: Amazon Prime Day 2025: We found the best deals to shop before the sale officially kicks off You may be wondering whether Prime Day is just another overblown shopping holiday like Black Friday, when retailers offer increasingly unimpressive deals to encourage unnecessary spending. There's no denying that some Prime Day deals offer real value. The key is having a smart shopping strategy in place to purchase items you actually need at a steep discount — not impulsively spending to take advantage of perceived savings. Historically, shoppers have seen discounts of 30%-70% on items such as Apple AirPods, laptops, robot vacuums, smart home devices, and branded kitchen appliances. Amazon's own products, including Kindles, Fire TVs, and Echo Dots, usually come with the deepest discounts. In 2023, Prime Day purchase discounts totaled $2.5 billion, according to Capital One. Retail analysts have found that many of these items are offered at their lowest prices of the year. So yes, if you've had your eye on a specific product and it happens to be on sale during Prime Day, you could walk away with serious savings. Read more: 7 money-saving perks for Amazon Prime members Keep in mind that not all the deals offered on Prime Day are really worth it. It's important to have a plan and do your research ahead of time so you know whether you're looking at a true discount. One common tactic retailers use to encourage spending is 'price anchoring,' where the listed original price is inflated, making the discount look more impressive than it actually is. In some cases, the so-called sale price is just a return to the item's normal price after a brief increase in the weeks leading up to Prime Day. Another issue is the impulse-buy nature of the event. Flash deals and lightning sales are designed to create urgency, leading many shoppers to make purchases they wouldn't otherwise consider. If you buy something you don't need — or wouldn't have bought without the flashy red countdown clock — you're not really saving money, even if the price is lower. If you're hoping to cash in on Amazon Prime savings, it's important to make a game plan. It's easy to get distracted by discounts and make impulsive purchases while browsing. Before you start shopping, make a list of the key items you really want. Prioritize finding deals on those must-haves — and only buy them if it makes sense for your budget. Decide how much money you can comfortably afford to spend on Prime Day ahead of time and stick to that limit. You'll avoid throwing your budget off track and ending up with buyer's remorse. This year, Amazon is offering over 40 personalized deal features to help shoppers find discounts on products they're most likely to be interested in. Look for personalized suggestions within the 'Recommended deals for you,' 'Top deals for you,' and 'Customers' Most-Loved' features to zero in on the deals you may be looking for. Amazon's Subscribe and Save feature offers year-round discounts on items you need to stock up on regularly. On Prime Day, these items may have an additional discount that could help you score extra savings. Many major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Best Buy will have their own sales and promotions around Prime Day when they know shoppers are in the mood to splurge. Before you check out, compare the price of items in your cart across a few different retailers to ensure you're getting the lowest price overall.

The Nordstrom Beauty Sale Is On—Here's What to Buy Before It's Gone
If there's one shopping event that makes it worth putting the lazy pace of summer on pause, it's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025. With a dizzying array of the best beauty products available at a steal—for a short time only!—making the most of the sale requires preparation, strategy, and an eagle eye for the best brands in every category from skin care to makeup and fragrance. That's where Vogue's beauty team comes in. Ahead, we've rounded up the essential products to buy early from celebrity-endorsed hair care to buzzy beauty tools and the eye patches Salma Hayek Pinault sleeps in every night. But before we get into what to buy, let's review when to shop: The official Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 runs from July 12 to August 3, but cardmembers can start stocking their carts a little earlier. All cardmembers in the 'Influencer' tier can start shopping on July 10, while those in the next tier up—'Ambassadors'—have access to the sale on July 9. And for those in the top tier, dubbed 'Icons,' it's all systems go on July 8—a.k.a today. (Not a cardmember yet? Sign up here.) Mark your calendar accordingly, then dive into the Vogue-editor-vetted recommendations from the beauty aisle, below. And if you like what you see, be sure to take it to checkout fast. After all, industry insiders are already raring to scoop up every last lip-plumping kit and irresistible summer scent. Happy shopping! Vogue's Favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025 Early Beauty Picks In This Story Best Skin-Care Deals Maybe you need a restock of the Supergoop! SPF Mindy Kaling (and every Vogue editor) can't get enough of. Perhaps you figure that if Salma Hayek Pinault sleeps in Patchology's Eye-Conic patches, there must be something to them. (Sounds logic!) Of course, you may also be interested in exploring 111Skin's Face and Neck Masks—a decision Vogue cover star Anne Hathaway would approve of. Or, like Kendall Jenner and legions of luminous-skinned shoppers, you could be addicted to the aptly named Miracle Broth that infuses La Mer products. You can fill your cart with all of this and more at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2025. And if you plan to shop early, that's all the better for getting a head start on an elevated skin-care regime. Best Beauty Tool Deals Until every one of us has a spa at home and a standing appointment with Dr. Dennis Gross, Vogue editors will continue to rely on the best beauty tools for a fresh-from-the-salon or dermatologist's-office glow. At the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, there are early discounts to be had on an editor-approved LED-therapy device from Dr. Gross himself, the cult-loved NuFace tool for toning and sculpting in a flash, and the DermaFlash device that makes peach fuzz a distant memory. (And as makeup artist Jenny Patinkin has told us: 'Even if you think you don't have peach fuzz, you definitely do!') For bouncy blowouts at home, DryBar's buttercup-yellow blow-dryer brush is also an essential that's rarely on sale. So you'd be wise to scoop it up now—along with all the other best-in-class beauty tools—while it's still available. Best Hair-Care Deals It's not every day that the very hair oil Amal Clooney's stylist uses to give his client's tresses that one-of-a-kind sheen is on sale, and it's hardly common to find discounts on goods from the hair brand supermodels swear by. But the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale isn't your average sale, and these products for runway-ready coifs are among the best hair-care deals to be found at the summer's hottest shopping event. Additional discounts extend to bond-restoring haircare from Oribe and Rōz Foundation Shampoo—a gift to scalps and showers everywhere from celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak. Best Makeup Deals Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Lip Kit is a universally flattering system for getting plush, pillowy lips (the secret ingredient? Glow pigments.) It's available at a steal at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, along with other cult-loved makeup that's sitting pretty at its best price of the year. Another offering is Westman Atelier's Blush Stick Duo, which offers two shades of the Vogue-approved formula for an easy, hydrating flush of color on the lips and cheeks. In Dior's Natural Glow Makeup Set, the iconic house provides the staples for a luminous three-step makeup routine—bien sur, it wouldn't be complete without a Diorshow Mascara. To lock any look into place, Hourglass's classic, translucent setting powder is a must; during the sale, it's packaged with a double-ended brush that makes it effortless to achieve that soft-focus look. Best Fragrance Deals Fancy a spritz of something that smells divine? Whether your go-to scent profile is warm, woody, and musky or citrus-spiked and ineffably Italian, there's something to round out your fragrance collection at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Get a head start on shopping with the Byredo Mojave Ghost Trio, which bundles roll-on oil and perfume with a hand cream so you can layer up in the warm, wild scent. Le Labo's sandalwood-infused classic, Santal 33—still as smoky and intoxicating as ever—is also on sale, while Maison Francis Kurkdjian's discovery set is a magnificently scented treasure chest with eight classic scents to explore. (Included: The iconic Baccarat Rouge 540, which made Vogue's list of the 25 best perfumes for women.) Yet another sale offering, a set of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino eau de parfum paired with the travel spray, offers an escape to the Riviera via transportive notes of orange flower, neroli, and warming amber. Our advice? Start shopping and spritzing now. Once you find your favorite scent, you might want to stockpile a few bottles while the sale's still on.
