I don’t know if I’m getting cheaper in my old age or whether I’ve done a better job of scavenging, but I’ve found you some really worthwhile deals for Prime Day 2023. I always recommend buying local, from small shops, and directly from the brands (where you can often take advantage of great loyalty programs), but – let’s be honest – mama can’t pass up a deal. This Prime Day clean beauty and wellness steals list is as much for me as it is for you.
Sometimes I buy consumer electronics and camera equipment on Prime Day, but this year my list is pretty low-key. (I won’t share the rake I bought to comb puppy fur off the carpets because that’s boring and I’m trying to stay on-theme.)
By the way, not only am I an avid Amazon shopper, but I’m also an associate. By clicking on these affiliate links, you help support the administration of Pura Vida Sometimes or maybe help me with a down payment on an IPL zapper. In either case, my hairy ancestors and I thank you.
Without further ado, enjoy these 2023 Prime Day clean beauty and wellness steals, beginning with clean beauty:
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm
This balm is light, has a good slip, and rinses clean with just water. It’s truly enjoyable to use and effectively cleans, but doesn’t strip skin.
My love for all things Tatcha, including the brand’s founder Vicky Tsai, is no secret. I love The Rice Polish cleanser, but I think today I’ll try the serum stick, because I also love skincare in a travel-friendly stick.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
Not clean beauty, but I have been using this for a while now, and it keeps my lashes full and long, but not spidery or thin, like with some of the other serums. Highly recommended!
Jane Iredale up to 30% off
Okay, I love Jane and the lip products are hands down my favorite of any brand. The whole line is on sale. Go now! Here are some of my favorites:
jane iredale PureBrow Brow Gel – it shapes and flatters without flaking.
jane iredale HydroPure Hyaluronic Lip Gloss – my favorite is Snow Berry
jane iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain – very pretty color, natural looking, and feels like lip balm. I can’t live without this.
French-founded company Odacité’s products literally target any specific skin issue imaginable, but they supercharge your routine with actives. I always keep a few serums handy.
Everything I’ve tried from Ursa Major feels so fresh and so clean. My favorites are the Golden Hour Recovery Cream and the Essential Face Wipes – particularly handy if you need a quick clean or are staying at someone’s house and don’t want to dry your face on their hand towels.
Back to skincare in sticks, this Glow & Get It Eye Balm is one of my favorites for a hydrating dewy glow. I enjoy the whole line though.
Briogeo Curl Charisma Rice Amino and Avocado Leave–In Defining Cream
My stylist taught me a game-changing hack: a dollup of this (he used something else, but whatever), a few drops of argan or hair oil, and a smudge of pomade – it defines my waves and keeps my hair hydrated.
Okay, so this is not a clean product but it is amazing. The last time I was getting my teeth cleaned, the hygienist asked me what toothpaste I was using so she could recommend it to her patients. This is it.
Honorable beauty mentions for Prime Day 2023
Other fantastic clean beauty and wellness brands to check out for Prime Day are Coola, Mighty Patch, and Inkey List.
Health and wellness devices
Now, I love my Fitbit but this beauty is enough to make a girl switch teams. I’ve recently become addicted to Apple Fitness+ and this watch displays biometrics in the app, and it has so many other cool apps. It was always cool, but it’s getting more beautiful.
I bought one of these little beauties upon the recommendation of Chris Kresser and found it helped me sleep better, so I bought another one. They’re cute and do an excellent job of filtering air.
So it seems like there’s an explosion of at-home IPL hair removal devices by a ton of companies lately, and they’re following me around social media. What…just me? This article in Forbes convinced me that Braun is the best but decide for yourself – they’re pretty much all on Amazon.
Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser
Okay, so maybe I’m slightly dentally-obsessed, but my dentist recommended this device to me and I have not looked back. It gets your teeth just-cleaned sparkly.
I use this baby constantly. Yes, for frothing milk, but also for mixing adaptogens into my coffee, mixing bullion in boiling water, mixing cocoa into milk, all sorts of things. It takes up next to no counter space and has turned out to be super handy. The first one I bought was a dud, but I contacted the company and their customer service was amazing.
