I'm a Deals Writer, and These Are the Last-Minute Prime Day Discounts Worth Shopping
Amazon Prime Day 2024 — the two-day major sales event from everyone's favorite retailer — is officially winding down. And while the discounts in every category from fitness to home seem endless, not all Prime Day deals are created equal. Yes, you can score some great finds for under $25, but let's be honest: most discounts simply don't compare to years prior. For example, while it's the cheapest I've ever seen the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence since becoming a Shopping Director, other discounts leave much to be desired. So, instead of sending you on a wild goose chase through the internet for worthwhile buys, I've found the last-chance Amazon Prime Day deals actually worth shopping this year.
What's on my list? Well, the Telena Belt Bag, a viral accessories dupe, is at the lowest price it's ever been right now. The top-selling HiLife Portable Clothing Steamer is 40 percent off this year, clocking in at $25. The ever-popular Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner is under $100, a rarity for one of Amazon's most in-demand home products. And, last but not least, that Frame TV you've been dreaming of owning? You can get it right now for under $1,000 — finally! Keep scrolling to shop some of the most unique — and worthwhile — deals from Amazon this year. And pro tip: be sure to sign up for Amazon Prime (if you haven't already) so you can get the best discounts available.

Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence ($10, originally $25)
While the Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence is a bestseller every year, for Prime Day 2024, you can snag the skin-care product for a whopping 60% off. With hydrating ingredients like snail mucin and hyaluronic acid, it's no wonder this essence regularly goes viral. One PS editor explained why it's worth the hype in her review of the Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence.
Editor Quote: "Though I was worried the additional skin-care step would clog my pores over time, leading to pimples and what have you, my skin's texture has actually improved, and it feels way more even now. The hydration payoff is also huge, and I feel like it actually helps my moisturizer work better, too." — Kelsey Garcia, associate content director, Balance

Discounted for less than $20 right now, the Laneige lip sleeping mask is one of the bestselling products on Amazon — and for good reason. It boasts hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid to nourish dry lips overnight. Shoppers love its "lusciously thick formula with a silky-soft texture and a glossy finish," says one PS editor in her review of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.
Editor Quote: "Ever since laying my hands on a little tub of it for the first time, it's remained a staple on my bedside table, in my handbag, and on my work desk, just to name a few spots I have them stashed. (Yes, I proudly own several flavors.) I'm obsessed with everything about this lip mask, from its pretty pink packaging to its hydrating, nonsticky texture." — MP

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray ($22, originally $28)
If you're looking to maintain shine and reduce frizz during the warm-weather months, it's worth it to invest in the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray while it's on sale.

For more details as well as before-and-after photos, read our editor's Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray review.
Editor Quote: "I initially tried the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray while getting ready for an outdoor graduation party, and it had just rained.

Best Prime Day Beauty Deal
Crest 3D Whitestrips ($30, originally $46)
There's a reason Crest 3D Whitestrips are a mainstay in most beauty cabinets — and you can get 44 strips for $30 on Prime Day. The strips claim to deliver a whiter smile in "just 22 days" thanks to hydrogen peroxide — and it works, according to our PS editor in her review of Crest 3D Whitestrips.
Editor Quote: "What truly impresses me about Crest 3D Whitestrips is their effectiveness. The box boldly claimed they could "remove over 15 years of stains in three days," which initially made me a bit skeptical. However, the results speak for themselves. After just four treatments, the difference is already remarkable." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Shoppers can stock up on the wildly-popular Telena Belt bag, a dupe for a viral style, for its lowest price ever during Prime Day 2024.

Find out why it's a worthwhile dupe in this review of the Telena Belt Bag.

The material is water-resistant, and the adjustable straps and bucket allow you to wear it as both a crossbody and a belt bag or fanny pack." — Lauren Mazzo, former senior editor, Fitness

Best Prime Day Home Deal
HiLife Portable Clothing Steamer ($25, originally $40)
The HiLife steamer is viral for a reason: it somehow manages to be powerful (with 700 wattage and 240 ml water capacity) yet compact at the same time. Gentle yet effective on clothing, it provides up to 15 minutes of uninterrupted steaming. The handheld design is "lightweight, making it easy to hold and pack in your duffel bag or carry-on," says one PS editor in her review of the HiLife Portable Clothing Steamer.
Editor Quote: "The steamer works wonders on most materials and clothes you'd have a hard time ironing, like sequin dresses or pearl-encrusted tops. I also like that it's lightweight, making it easy to hold and pack in your duffel bag or carry-on." — Shelcy Joseph, former PS contributor
Best Prime Day Home Deal
Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Carpet Cleaner ($82, originally $124)
This top-rated, multipurpose carpet cleaner is rarely sold for under $100 — so getting it for $82 during Prime Day is a steal. It has a powerful suction capacity to remove difficult spots; a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Hose Tool and Spraying Crevice Tool for stains that are hard to reach; and a 48-ounce tank capacity so you can use it multiple times before refilling. The lightweight cleaner works well on multiple surfaces, from rugs to stairs to upholstery. Read about one editor's experience in her Bissell Little Green Portable Cleaner review.
Editor Quote: "I saw results within a few minutes, and I noticed that my upholstery looked visibly more vibrant and refreshed — particularly my vintage rugs and bath mats, which have a tendency to look pretty discolored and worn down. The aftercare was also incredibly easy — I simply unplugged the cleaner, emptied and rinsed the water tank, and let the tank air dry." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Samsung 55-Inch Class QLED 4K The Frame TV ($998, originally $1,498)
If the Frame TV's been on your wish list for awhile, now's the time to purchase it while it's under $1,000. This viral Smart TV has it all, from hi-def, 4K Ultra HD picture quality to the ability to look like a picture frame when it's turned off. "I appreciate the flexibility that comes with being able to easily switch up the art that I choose to display, which is something I wouldn't otherwise be able to do with large-scale art, which is its own investment," our PS editor explains in this review of the Samsung Frame TV.
Editor Quote: "If you have the budget and prioritize aesthetics, I think Samsung The Frame TV is worth the money. The difference between what a typical TV looks like on the wall vs. The Frame TV is night and day. Yes, you can find a TV with 4K resolution in the same size for almost half the price, but it won't blend in seamlessly with your decor like The Frame TV does." — Angela Elias, contributing editor, Commerce
