What ELLE Editors Are Actually Buying From Amazon’s Memorial Day Sale

Act fast while the deals (and sizes) are still up for grabs!

By

With Memorial Day around the corner and weekend sales in full swing, the flood of Amazon deals and promotions can leave you wondering, what’s actually worth purchasing? While you’re likely mapping out weekend plans with family and friends, don’t forget another highlight of the holiday—incredible savings on all your favorite fashion, beauty, and home products.

Our editors have a sixth sense for sniffing out the real standouts and aren’t impressed by shiny, less-than-stellar deals—we hunt for the markdowns that truly deliver. This year, Amazon’s sale lineup has plenty of gems—fashion finds we’d wear on repeat and beauty products that have changed our lives.

Now is the perfect time to snag that high-velocity hairdryer that will cut your styling time in half, and yes, even those ‘less glamorous’ essentials like a multipack of white ankle socks, and that new vacuum cleaner that will leave your floors spotless.

We’ve already combed through it all and narrowed it down to only the editor-approved hits so you can forgo the endless scrolling and shop smarter, not harder.
