We’re finally in the home stretch of Amazon Prime Day(s), which spanned four days instead of the usual two of past years. (Mr. Amazon needs to pay for that lavish Venice wedding somehow!) We get it: you, too, are exhausted by the zillions of listicles on teeth whiteners, TVs and pet hair vacuums. That’s why, in the final hours of Prime Week Day numero quatro, we’re letting you in on what The Hollywood Reporter readers and shopping editors actually bought — because, like us on Prime Day Friday, you might be feeling a little silly and spendy after nearly a work week’s worth of targeted Amazon ads overload. (We see you, THR homepage sidebar hawking Is Clinical skin care!)
K-beauty and high-tech skin-care devices were the most popular categories among THR shoppers, who scored $100 off the chic plum and blush editions of Dyson’s Airwrap i.d. (reg. $599.99), up to 35 percent off super-hydrating collagen face masks by Biodance and Kewhunt, more than half off Hailey Bieber-loved brand Medicube’s Collagen Jelly Cream and $47 off CurrentBody’s latest LED face mask.
In the tech department, big congrats to the readers who saved a whopping 40 percent off our favorite Apple AirPods Pro 2 (they’re at their lowest price ever) and 30 percent off Samsung’s 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 series gaming monitor (the gamers on our team say it’s the ultimate desktop screen). It also seems many of you were convinced by our recent (sponsored) review to buy Tineco’s Pure One Station 5 cordless smart vacuum, which is on sale for $139 off the list price. It also seems some of you are in a theme park state of mind, because this portable charger and our favorite travel-friendly fan were also top purchases.
We also saw shoppers snap up movie merch during Prime Day, including this very adorable Funko Pop! Great White Shark (on sale for 5 percent off) to celebrate Jaws‘ 50th anniversary, Just Juice’s fragrances inspired by The Summer I Turned Pretty (this Cousins Beach coconut and vanilla one was the most popular scent).
Ahead, check out what THR shopping editors and readers bought during Prime Day, including off-Amazon items at alternative sales and the products that are currently hanging out in our carts (and likely headed to checkout).
Anker 621 Magnetic Portable Charger (MagGo)
A top pick on our theme park essentials list, Anker’s MagSafe-compatible portable charger — on sale for 35 percent off — was the No. 1 purchased Prime Day item among readers.
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Deep Mask
The second most-ordered item among THR readers was Biodance’s Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask, which Brow Code founder and celebrity brow expert Melanie Marris once called out as one of her favorite skin-care essentials.
Kewhunt Deep Collagen Face Mask
Kewhunt’s Deep Collagen Power Boost Firming Mask is a worthy competitor to Biodance’s bestselling sheet mask, and it’s a few dollars cheaper while still performing just as well. Buyers say it’s safe for sensitive skin, with one reviewer saying, “after just one use, my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and supple. With continued use, I’ve seen a visible improvement in my skin’s firmness and overall texture.”
Samsung 57″ Odyssey Neo G9 Series Dual 4K UHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor
Samsung’s 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 series gaming monitor was the biggest-ticket item purchased by a THR reader during Prime Day, and it boasts a very impressive 240Hz refresh rate, AMD Freesync Premium Pro and a screen that’s as wide as two UHD monitors. (You go, gamer!)
Oura rings were also popular among THR readers, who snapped up ring sizing kits (not on sale) and the fourth-gen devices for 15 percent off.
Florian London Women’s Anya Brown Clutch
“I’m usually pretty good about writing stories and not purchasing every single thing I like, however, there was one article I wrote up during Prime “Week” Day where that was simply not possible for me: the Shopbop sale. In fact, at one point, I had all three bags included in the story in my cart, but I was a responsible(ish) queen and only pulled the trigger on this Bottega-adjacent structured clutch. I like it because it doesn’t feel like a full-blown dupe and the calfskin leather means it’ll wear super nicely. Simply put, I’m obsessed. And I’m also on a shopping time-out.” — Erin Lassner, E-Commerce Writer
Life-flo Pure Magnesium Oil for Joint and Muscle Health
“I’m a loyal Thrive Market member and I recently added Life-flo’s magnesium oil spray — coincidentally during Prime Day— to my monthly box after trying a sample. It helps with the end-of-the-day leg aches and back pain, and it’s safe for kids — one of my kiddos loves it for growing pains. (Yes, it’s also available on Amazon.)” — Danielle Directo-Meston, E-Commerce Editor
Limited Edition Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer
REST Evercool Cooling Comforter
“Rest’s cooling comforters are currently in my cart and I’m probably proceeding to checkout soon as I need a travel-sized option. I know, ‘cooling comforter’ sounds like a contradiction, but I swear by these blankets during hot summer nights and even during L.A. “winters” (I know, diabolical!) I’ve tried the Amazon dupes but they really don’t compare to Rest’s products, quality- or performance-wise. If my enthusiastic blankie recommendation isn’t enough, maybe you’ll be convinced by the company’s newly-appointed Sleep Wellness Advocate, Drew Barrymore? They’re on sale on the company’s website if you don’t have a Prime membership; they’re also available at Amazon if you must!” — Danielle Directo-Meston
Bookshop’s Anti-Prime Sale
“If you, like me, have a never-ending guilt trip about not supporting your local bookstore enough, I highly suggest taking advantage of Bookshop’s Anti-Prime Sale. They’re offering free shipping until tonight, so it’s a great time to pick up some new reads from THR‘s summer reading list (including our senior writer Gary Baum’s first novel, In Pursuit of Beauty) and they’ve also got some fun literary-inspired games and puzzles. Your purchase helps to keep independent businesses running and you won’t be funding towards Jeff Bezos’ wedding registry. Win-win!” — Danielle Directo-Meston

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Prime Day deal
Tineco Pure One Station 5 Cordless Smart Vacuum
Full disclosure: we got a sample of this to review alongside Dyson’s V11 and can honestly recommend Tineco’s cordless vacuum. Though it’s heavier and its docking station requires a larger footprint than its competitor, we’re big fans of the auto-cleaning dust bin and the laser-equipped brush attachment that literally lights the way to dirt.
Blueprint Bryan Johnson Don’t DIE Hat (Black)
Based on the popularity of this story, THR‘s shopping editors are inspired to snap up this hat to close out Prime “Day.” End scene!
