And also there are so many great price points aside from the Amazon Prime Days which gives you savings. It it's just like I found so much great budget finds which we know our audience loves. So I just, I can't wait to share it with everybody.
Jill Dunn
And just for reference, everyone, today is June 26th when we are recording this. So we did our homework as best as we can but you know these deals are keeping on rolling out. So what I am going to encourage you to do is follow our Amazon storefronts. We have one for the U.S. we have one for Canada. I'll link to it in our show notes. And beyond what we're talking about today, as I see more and more deals, I'll add them to our storefront. So it's a great one stop shop.
Carlene Higgins
But we had to come in with this episode even though it's not sponsored. Guys.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
We work to bring you the deals because just because we know you love them and we're here for you. So we, we had to be here in your time of need.
Jill Dunn
I just want to share with everybody that I recently learned here's a little fun fact that there's 100,000 beauty brands on Amazon.
Carlene Higgins
Incredible.
Jill Dunn
So that's why we have our editor hat on today where we are curating the best deals and also the coolest finds, what's trending and then maybe some staples that you love. To stock up on, but are on deep discount. And you'll want to bookmark our storefronts and keep coming back. We update them all throughout the year as well, even if we're not necessarily always talking about it. But we're so excited today. So let's tell the people what they can expect.
Carlene Higgins
In today's episode, we are going to be talking about K Beauty. I feel like Amazon is the easiest place to find K Beauty. And we have so many insights and recommendations today, including new product discoveries that we have. I've got some great fragrances, like really special. I feel like it could be called I Can't Believe it's on Amazon because I would never have known you'd find them there. And I can't wait to share those with you.
Jill Dunn
So excited about these. I'm talking about a brand new Olay SPF cream that just launched.
Carlene Higgins
Nice.
Jill Dunn
That's also on promo. We have one of our a couple of favorite skincare brands that never really go on sale. You're going to want to add to cart for sure. So. And hair products as well. There's a lot of great hair deals too.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. And you can go ahead and say it because I know that my skin looks amazing today. Go.
Jill Dunn
Oh, yeah, go ahead, tell me. She's glowing, everyone. And she's got cool glasses on. She's picked. She's managed to pick up her glasses.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. Actually, these are my readers. What are. These are actually really cheap and cheerful on Amazon. But no, what I wanted to say is that I found the most incredible product that makes my skin like glass. And so I can't wait to share that with everybody. There's just so much to talk about. Honestly. Let's get into it. Let's dive in the Amazon finds for Prime Days 2025 just ahead.
Jill Dunn
Save me SA.
Carlene Higgins
Hey, guys. I am Briony Bass, a Pilates teacher and the founder of Pilates by Bryony. I started my podcast beyond the Mat after having some of the most moving conversations with people on the mat. Expect full disclosure, moments, life hacks to level up your life, and stories that activate your dreams. With no gatekeeping allowed. Listen to beyond the Mat every Thursday wherever you podcast.
Jill Dunn
Just before we dive in, Carlene has found the name of the brand of eyeglasses or Gabrielle Simone.
Carlene Higgins
Yes, these are just my readers. So I ordered these great like Diors that I'm sure I'll show on social at some point. But these, I actually was inspired to get the Diors by these Gabrielle Simone reader glasses because they're Just the most perfect lightweight tortoise shell aviators. And they're really inexpensive.
Jill Dunn
Well, they're actually on Amazon, so we will link to them. They're like around $25 US.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. That's crazy, right?
Jill Dunn
Yeah, I think there's orange. The thing is like, yeah, you really do not have to spend a lot to get glasses.
Carlene Higgins
I've actually heard that Amazon is a mecca of resources. Who that they had a whole eyeglass wardrobe that was all from Amazon. That's why they could afford to have an eyeglass wardrobe. Because I feel like this was a beauty editor and I was on a press trip and it's somebody really well known for her glasses and they're all from Amazon.
Jill Dunn
Amazing.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. So hot tip, everyone.
Jill Dunn
Well, we'll link to those.
Carlene Higgins
Okay. So Jill, where are we starting?
Jill Dunn
Well, let's start with K Beauty. Since you did talk about that and I do agree it's just like not slowing down at all. And by the way, everybody in our archives, we did a hashtag damn good episode in November or October, November last year. We will link to it in our show notes with Glow by Ava and she's truly a K beauty expert. And we did make an entire Amazon storefront of all the products she mentioned in that episode. So that's still up in our Amazon storefront. Find what's on promo that are highly recommended by a true K beauty expert. And by the way, stay tuned to the very end where we're going to showcase our top deal.
Carlene Higgins
Okay. Our number one deepest discount at the very end.
Jill Dunn
Yes.
Carlene Higgins
Each of ours. Yes. Awesome.
Jill Dunn
All right, Carlene. So K Beauty.
Carlene Higgins
Yes. I feel like everybody goes to Amazon for Beauty of Jose. And you know, this is a brand that became famous for their sunscreens because really when the whole wave of K Beauty sunscreens was coming to North America, they're so well known for being ultra lightweight sheer skin care, like very hydrating and not going to cause breakouts.
Jill Dunn
Very protective as well.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, exactly, exactly. They tend to have that like PAA plus plus plus plus rating in addition to being broad spectrum. They're famous for that. But unfortunately, over the past year, as we know, FDA regulations have really buckled down on K Beauty sunscreens. And that's because some of the filters that they were using have not been passed by the FDA in the US the first one that made them famous, Beauty of Jose and relief sun rice plus probiotics SPF 50 pa plus plus plus. I'm holding it here. That one is no longer on shelves in the US and it's no longer on the Amazon storefront either. So Beauty of Jose has created a North American version of their original sunscreen that is meant to tick off all of the boxes in terms of the attributes and the benefits, but it does use North American filters. So the Daily Relief sunscreen is what this new North American version is called. It's an SPF 40. That one will be part of the promotion for up to 38% off. It is sold in the Beauty of Josen store. So you know that it's legitimate, it's not a fake, which has been another issue in the past when it comes to K beauty. But be aware that it is the North American version. I. I have not tried it.
Jill Dunn
I was just about to ask.
Carlene Higgins
It's on route to me. So I only had the original, which is beautiful. Like, definitely lives up to the hype. I have not tried the the North American version. From what I've read, it's getting mixed reviews. There are a lot of people who love it, swear by it, but then there are the original stands and they're like, it's just not the same. So whether that's almost like psychosomatic and they're just attached to the first one, it's hard to say. I think I.
Jill Dunn
We can relate to this in the sense that when you tried the biore North American version you were like, it's not the same. And a lot of people we. That video kind of blew up on YouTube shorts and people were like, I'm so upset. Yeah, they kind of agreed with you.
Carlene Higgins
I did the half happy and I will do it again when I receive the new one since I do have the original. So stay tuned to our Instagram and our TikTok and our YouTube shorts. But here's what I want to say if you are curious about the North American version and you wanted to try it, Amazon Prime Days is the perfect time to do that because you're getting this discount of up to 38% off. So now's the time to dive in.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
I also just want to give a heads up that I recently tried their serum.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. They're so good.
Carlene Higgins
Which they are really good. And I hadn't understood that before.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
The Glow Serum Propolis plus Niacinamide. That's great for pores.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Is going to be part of the promotion. They also have a Glow Deep Serum for brightening with rice and arbutin. So that's another one on promotion. Sadly, the one that I've fallen in love with, which is the Calming Serum Green Tea Plus Panthenol. I really notice a difference in reducing my redness like right away. That's not on promotion, but might be another one to try.
Jill Dunn
These serums are really good for travel, everyone, because you maybe you are listening, you can't see, but they're kind of mini sized and they're really good for travel. I like the niacinamide one.
Carlene Higgins
For me that and that one is part of the promo. So there you have it. Jill, how about you?
Jill Dunn
Can I ask you what is the name of the new one? If people are googling.
Carlene Higgins
Yes. We're going to link to everything on our website @breaking beauty podcast.com the new one is called Daily Relief Sunscreen SPF 4018 in the US, 23.99 in Canada. And one thing that's amazing is when you click on the link and you go to their storefront, they are so clear in their communications, it's. It's incredible. It clearly says New arrival. Daily Relief Sunscreen was developed to deliver the benefits of our original relief sun while also complying with the UV filter regulations for OTC products and is available exclusively in the US Then they have pictures of all of the SPF that they used to have and it says Beauty of Joseph Sunscreen not sold on Amazon by Beauty of Joseph. Meaning if you're buying one from another seller that is not official. So that's not coming from them. So this is where you could have a, you know, something, you could be buying something that is not, that is, you know, gray market.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. So just go to their storefront. That's the safest bet you. Is there any other K beauty that you wanted to shout out?
Carlene Higgins
So another one that I want to let everybody know about, it's called Nemo K N E M O. I had not heard of this brand and the product that I want to highlight is the Nemo. Right away. Thin Cognito spot patch. It's 9.99 US and these are pimple patches. So pimple patches are a huge search term right now. This particular thingcognito Spot Patch, there is a video which I, I will link to in our show notes and on our website and it has received 24 million views showing the efficacy of this particular pimple patch. So not the other ones. It has 1.7 million likes you guys. So I gave it to my daughter to try. And one thing that I would say is unique about it is they're very thin as the name suggests it. And it does have them with you. I do not. And the reason that I don't have them with me is because my daughter used them all before I could get them from her.
Jill Dunn
They look like the SOCO glam ones in terms of how thin they are.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. I can show you the lip gloss, soft lips lip glosses, which apparently are going gangbusters as well, just to give you an idea. So, yes, it has the tapered edges, which I know you've talked about before. You love that. So it blends seamlessly with the rest of your face and you can even put makeup over top of it. What is special about these and why I wanted to highlight them is that I gave them to my daughter to try. And I had asked her, I was like, of all the things that I've given you to try, is there anything in particular you're loving lately? She name checked these.
Jill Dunn
Good.
Carlene Higgins
And I said, what do you love about these? Because trust me, she's tried so many pimple patches from all of the major brands. And she said they work. She said. She specifically said, unlike the other ones, they work.
Jill Dunn
Okay.
Carlene Higgins
So they really draw out, like if you watch that video, it's goes over top of whiteheads. It really is drawing out all of the gunk and it works. That's. That's. No more needs to be said. So this one's specifically for whiteheads. Like, I wish I had this when I was a teenager because I was. I had so many white ads.
Jill Dunn
And it prevents the picking too, which I think is so huge for acne with young people.
Carlene Higgins
Right.
Jill Dunn
You know what I mean?
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, absolutely. So anyway, I. This is a brand that I had not heard of, but apparently it's very efficacious. So 30% off all Nemo products. They do carry other products as well, so check it out.
Jill Dunn
I love that. That's so cute.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
And the lip glosses are your. Do you like those as well?
Carlene Higgins
I have not actually tried. These are called the Lip Lock Jell serum, but it's supposed to be again, like that pillowy peptide type of a vibe. And apparently these have popped off as well from the brand.
Jill Dunn
So. So affordable. 17.99. Are those also on sale?
Carlene Higgins
They're tinted. Yeah. Everything from this brand is 30 off. Okay, great. They come in different tints. Any other skin care for you in general?
Jill Dunn
There's so much skin care to talk about. All right, okay. Well, first of all, I'm going to talk about Sun Sun Care. A lot of these brands, Beauty of Josen as well as Ultraviolet Supergoop. They get a lot of love and they should. But I will Tell you every single summer, what I am actually using is Neutrogena. It's like I know I will not burn. What I know will actually protect me. What it says on the label is Neutrogena. Yeah. And so my favorite from the line has been for years is the Neutrogena Dry Touch. And all of the Neutrogena sun care is 15 to 20% off during Prime Day. So the dry touch, it's SPF 60 is the one I use. I'm obsessed with this one especially like on my decollete, my neck, my chest. And I will say after years of using it, you have to be really careful putting it on around your eyes. You might get a little, a little bit irritated. But to me it's still worth it because I know that I am not going to burn. So getting it for 20% off, I wanted to shut that out always like in my kit. And then I also wanted to shout out a new product that's a daily spf. This is more of a moisturizer with, okay, brand new from Olay. It's part of their super range. So you might remember the Super Serum. I like that serum when it launched like I think maybe three years ago at this point, right off the top. I don't know if they have a fragrance free version but this is fragrance. So I'm not, I'm not sure if it's going to be for everyone. Now it's going to be on promo for Prime Day and the promo is that you can save up to 25% on select skincare must haves from Olay. Now I got this figure from Amazon Canada team. Potentially the deal could be slightly different in the US but this is the fact that I have to report on at the time of recording. So Carlene, I'm gonna hand you the jar, okay. And it's got the same benefits as the super serum which is the five in one.
Carlene Higgins
I'm showing you the jar because it actually is, it's reminding, it's giving me like a little bit of retro vibes, you know what I mean? Just like the way that the little bottle and the dropper, it is a little 80s.
Jill Dunn
This is a trend right now.
Carlene Higgins
Yes. Olay super screen with SPF. SPF 30.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Super cream. What did I say? Olay super cream.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Amazing.
Jill Dunn
And so in terms of the benefits, everyone, it's got vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin E and collagen peptide in there. So it's meant to hydrate, smooth, brighten it's really doing all it's doing the Most working on 5 kind of like pillars I guess you would say. And anytime that you can like do the two in one where you're getting that real hydration, I would say it's quite hydrating. And the daily protection, it's just like it's a win. A win is a win. You know what I mean?
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
34.99 US and 4599 in Canada. And of course it will be typically and then on prime day it's on promo.
Carlene Higgins
Amazing. I am always curious to know about the people who want a daily moisturizer with SPF versus people who use a separate moisturizer and then a separate sunscreen for face. So please do drop into our dm join the chat because I want to know what team you're on. I feel like this is reminiscent of the old school daily moisturizers with SPF which seem to have taken a back seat. Yeah, I still love this. Kind of like two in one way to go. I know some people say but you're never going to put on enough that you need compared to a sunscreen. Which I've never understood that rationale.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
And like what is the difference between how much I'm putting on between a daily moisturizer or a sunscreen? Do you put on different amounts based on what you're, what your, which formula it is? I never understood that rationale.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. Anyway, again here I am just repping all of the big brands. They're not even paying me. I wish they were but again it's like it's, it's going to do the aspect, it's going to have the protection that it says on the label. And I remember with the original serum when they launched that they stacked it up against the quote unquote number one luxury serum in the market. Clinically tested like in a lab and it came out on top. Now everybody knew reading between the lines they were comparing it to advanced night repair. This one, it provides long lasting hydration of up to 24 hours and hydrates better than the quote unquote number one luxury facial moisturizer with sunscreen. And this is based off of a sales per unit at the end of 2024. So again they are stacking this up against a luxury product.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, I love, I love it when they do that.
Jill Dunn
Me too. I mean when they accidentally show us like a slide that maybe the media isn't supposed to see.
Carlene Higgins
But great suggestion. Any other skin care before we move right along?
Jill Dunn
Yes, I'm going to tell you about two brands that I don't think ever go on this deep of a disc, one of which is one of my new favorites. And they were actually in the news recently because l' Oreal conglomerate just bought them. And that is Medicaid.
Carlene Higgins
Oh, yes, Medicaid. We love Medicaid.
Jill Dunn
So Medicaid is actually one of our show partners, transparently. And that's how I was introduced to the brand. But I have tried now. So many products from this range and I love them all. Like, they just work with my skin.
Carlene Higgins
And so I can tell you an insider secret that Jill contacted me and said, do you have any more. I can't remember which product it was. Yeah, she's like, do you have any more of that? Because if you're not using it, I'll take it.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
So again, little insider intel when that happens between two beauty podcasters. That says a lot.
Jill Dunn
I think it really does because we have cupboards full of stuff. So on Amazon, this is major. All products are 30% off from Medicate.
Carlene Higgins
Amazing.
Jill Dunn
Including the Medicate Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, that's one of their newer products. Normally it's $92 and it's on sale for 64 US Perfect. And then another brand that I want to show.
Carlene Higgins
Wait, before, just before you run along, what is your one? If you had to pick one product from Medicaid, what would it be your favorite?
Jill Dunn
Oh, my God, it's really hard. I love their Crystal Retinol. That's an iconic product. Like that should be in our hall of fame, which maybe we will add it. I have emptied the night cream, this Vitamin C serum. I've also emptied that. And then secondly, another deep discount skin fix on Amazon. All products 30 off.
Carlene Higgins
Awesome.
Jill Dunn
And including the Skin Barrier Triple Lipid peptide cream, normally 54 in the U.S. it's on sale for 38.
Carlene Higgins
Okay.
Jill Dunn
The one that I really like for the summer from Skin Fix is the barrier balancing water cream. Oh yeah, that's also 30 off.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, water creams, great for summer. I'm sure everybody knows if you have combination skin or oily skin, water creams are the best.
Jill Dunn
And they just rebranded too. So time to check out their new packaging. If people are listening and they want to support Canadian brands on Amazon, I discovered one. It's absolutely stunningly gorgeous. It looks like it's from France, it's called. Which is like without soap.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
In French. Yeah. And like, I don't, I don't have the products, but like, this is what it looks like. Carlene like, the branding is amazing and it's like sink side. Absolutely stunningly gorgeous. Anything that like elevates those everyday essentials. Now I messaged them to see if they are on sale, so I will link to that in our storefront if they are.
Carlene Higgins
I'm just gonna say it. I feel like Canadian beauty is making a big comeback. Yeah, it was like a little bit quiet for a while where it was only like five brands that were constantly in rotation. But I feel like there's innovation happening again. Very excited.
Jill Dunn
And on Amazon Canada's website, like, I know that they're making a concerted effort to spotlight Canadian owned brands. Yeah. So that's another way to shop too, if that's something that's important to you.
Carlene Higgins
Okay. Any other skincare just before we move on really quickly?
Jill Dunn
Would it be prime day if we weren't talking about the Lineage lip sleeping mask? And I have it on good authority it's 30 off this time around, so you can, you can jump on that. And the Kiehl's Ultra facial cream is 22% off as well.
Carlene Higgins
So that's significant. All right, everyone, the time has come where I need to let you know about the product that is giving me this glassy skin look today. I'm so obsessed with this product and it is so cheap. It's the Maybelline New York Grippy serum primer. It's $12.99 US 1596 in Canada. This is confirmed to be on promotion. I don't know exactly what it'll be. They're starting at 15 off. It just launched in the US in April and in Canada July 1st.
Jill Dunn
Makeup is quaking.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. Who's.
Jill Dunn
How many iterations of the word grip are you?
Carlene Higgins
Well, this is a category now, let's be honest. Right.
Jill Dunn
But if you.
Carlene Higgins
This video.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, like so funny.
Carlene Higgins
Did you see? So the video that I just showed her from TikTok is it's a creator who's showing this product and she's stuck like an eyeliner to her face to show how grippy this product is. This is a fascinating product. So it's a serum to grip polymer technology. It's a primer, but it's a grippy serum. So it comes in a pink dropper. Okay. And so when you put it on, it feels. Feels exactly like a skin care serum. Which actually feels a bit weird cuz like you've done all your skin care, maybe you've put on even your sunscreen. It feels a bit weird to put on a serum over top. So what? But you do apply it that way, and it feels lovely going on. It's, like, refreshing, and it doesn't feel grippy or sticky, unlike the other formulas from Milk Makeup. There's another one from Elf that's really famous, so it just feels like skincare. What you do is you wait 20 seconds, and as it dries down, that's when you get that grip and attack. You get the tackiness. And I actually did that test. I stuck a nail file to my face earlier.
Jill Dunn
Did you video that?
Carlene Higgins
Yes. So I'll be sharing that on Instagram and TikTok everyone. So it does get that tackiness to it, and it lasts for up to 24 hours is what they say. So it's fascinating because it gives you this plump look.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
But I think why it's really spun off and why it's gone viral is because people are really finding that their makeup is not pilling over top, like, no matter what makeup they try. So this morning, I use the Maybelline Super Stay 30 Hour Lumi Matte Foundation. And so, of course, with the. Even though it's a Lumi Matte, it is Matte. So it's like you run that risk of it looking kind of dull. But I just found when I put this over top of this grip foundation, it looks so beautiful. Like, it's such a great combination. I'm getting this glass skin effect, but I'm getting the coverage. Whereas I find with the glass skin, typically with those formulas, they're more sheer. Right. To give you that dewiness, so you're not getting the coverage. So I love this combination. It layers super well. They say it's for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Now, I can tell you, as someone who has a lot of texture, because I'm in my late 40s, it's like the way that it filled in lines. And I've said this before when I talked about the Milk Makeup grip, and the Elf is like it. It's all marketed toward Gen Z, but it actually works great on mature skin. And it really. This particular product, like, the way it filled in the lines around my eyes, the cracks around my nose. And I did do a full wear test, and at the end of the day, I had no cracking around my nose, no cracking in all the lines on my chin, which always happens to me. So this, to me, is like a miracle product. Like, I haven't tried anything this good in so long. Maybelline is back, baby. And I cannot believe how inexpensive it is. So that's why I'm so excited to share it with everyone. Like, this is not going in my bin after this episode. This is top shelf.
Jill Dunn
I'm sorry, can you repeat the deal again?
Carlene Higgins
So we don't know exactly what the deal is, but we know it's starting at 15% off.
Jill Dunn
Got it? Yeah, got it.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. And. And like I said, the Superstay foundation. Great. It's a really good these two in combo. Just like Chef's Kiss.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. I love. I love Maybelline and it sounds like they are back.
Carlene Higgins
You've got to try this.
Jill Dunn
Hey, I will.
Carlene Higgins

What do you have on the makeup front, Jill Dunn.
Jill Dunn
Okay, I have a couple of things that I wanted to shout out for makeup. One has just gone completely viral. This is the l' Oreal Paris faux brow. And this is going to be up to 15 off. In the. In the US it's 12, and in Canada, it's 18.99. There's eight colors. It's in a pen, and it's quite innovative in the sense that it looks kind of like a liquid liner. Sleek like that. But when you open it up, it's got two prongs that are very tiny. Like, tiny, tiny, tiny.
Carlene Higgins
It's almost like a double pronged liquid liner, except a much, much thinner brush stroke.
Jill Dunn
Like hair. Like, they look as thin as hair in terms of the actual applicator.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
So this one is really great to create these, like, naturally full brows. I think if you were somebody who has, in particular who has sparse brows, you're going to be obsessed with this. I really liked it for the fact that it's clear that they've innovated in the delivery of a product like this. There have been products like this on the market in the past, like Stila, all Day Brow, where it's like those brow hairs are going on and they're not moving, but it was still like a thicker applicator. So this is. Has a lot more control, a lot more precision. And I saw Glam use Glamzilla using this, and I was like, I absolutely need that. And it also is waterproof and sweatproof. So for the summer, highly, highly recommend this. And it's up to 15% off. Have you tried this?
Carlene Higgins
I have. I. I found it a little bit difficult to work with. I don't think it's great for a novice user such as myself. Like, I just had trouble controlling it. I. It kind of went outside the lines than it. When I TR to fix it, it gets smudgy. I prefer a single stroke, but I think if you're an advanced makeup user such as Glamzilla, you can probably work this to your advantage and have it be an excellent product.
Jill Dunn
And here's the thing. I think if you're a girly out there and you have, like, two eyebrow hairs, which there's plenty of girls, we know, that they have to draw in their eyebrows every single day.
Carlene Higgins
If you're out there drawing on your eyebrows every day, this is an interesting fix. If you're someone who's really just trying to fill in some sparse hairs, you want it to last. I love the Maybelline build A brow, which I've talked about in the past, which is a single stroke. It's also not as of an.
Jill Dunn
It's a different look.
Carlene Higgins
So that, to me, is more. Not when you talk about natural. The builder brows.
Jill Dunn
Natural.
Carlene Higgins
And this one's a little bit more advanced.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you are someone that only has very sparse brows, you go to all the effort of drawing them on. The fact that. That this is waterproof and sweatproof also is massive. Okay, what else?
Carlene Higgins
Okay, so great news. All Clinique products will be 25% off during Amazon Canada prime days. So I'm not sure about the U.S. i know for Canada, it's 25% off, but I'm sure they'll be doing something in the U.S. so what everybody needs to know about is that Clinique, they're almost lipstick range that is famous. Everybody knows about Black honey.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Is that they just launched Nude Honey.
Jill Dunn
Right.
Carlene Higgins
It is 25 in the U.S. $33 in Canada. This is major news, because I feel like nude is such a potentially tricky area, because a nude for everyone is kind of that thing where it's like, nude is just so loaded.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Because nude depends on your skin tone. You can be pale, you can be dark on the first pattern. Fitzpatrick scale. So what are they gonna do for a nude? So I really expected that this was gonna go completely wrong. But when I opened it, look at the color of the nude. When you turn it up, it almost looks like black honey and how dark the shade of nude is. But we all know how sheer these go on, so. But I was pleased to see that because I was like, okay, great. Maybe this can work on all skin tones. So then you swatch it again. It's. It's quite sheer, but it's like this beautiful kind of brownie tone on me because I'm fair. I really love this because I find, even for myself, when I'm fair, that a lot of fair nudes just don't look good on me. It's like they're too. They just wash me out. It's like, what is this really doing? So this kind of hits that spot for me where it's like, oh, it is sheer. It has a quote unquote nude effect, but it's actually flattering. So I was really impressed by this. And one of the things that I thought was fascinating when I read about it was it says in the description the unique formulation of cool and warm pigments.
Jill Dunn
Right.
Carlene Higgins
Combined with your own lip tone to create a just for you nude. So that's really how it works is like it's not too warm, it's not too cool. It's like this still very sheer and very sheer. It's this great combination, but. But it's not naked either. So highly recommend. It's $33. This literally just launched and they already have it on promo, which is also rare. So the fact that this is 30% off. Great time to try it. Love this. I'll be using this all summer.
Jill Dunn
I'm gonna talk very quickly about flower nose beauty. Do you know flower nose?
Carlene Higgins
Oh, no. I was thinking nose like the nose on your face.
Jill Dunn
No, K, N O W S. Flower nose. Yes.
Carlene Higgins
I recently became aware of this, of this line. It's sea beauty, if I'm not mistaken.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. So it's out of China. It came out in like 2016, but it is just a huge seller on Amazon and normally everything is like, like $20 to begin with. So in this for upcoming in prime day, it is going to be on promotion. This deal is amazing. It's going to be up to 35 off on single items and all products are included in the discount. This is for Amazon US and then if you buy two items, you get a free fridge magnet. So this is a really great promo. But anyway, I wanted to shout out one of my favorite products from the line. And this is like not on brand for me at all. But the products are really good. Everybody. The whole line basically looks like fairies made it.
Carlene Higgins
And it's like, she's a fairy. She's a fairy. That song here.
Jill Dunn
Yeah. It's like rococo kind of vibes and aesthetics.
Carlene Higgins
And it looks like their little palettes look like castles and.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, like fairies, truly. And it has bows on everything. And the palettes are like pastels. But the reason I became interested in this brand was. Is when I was doing research at the end of 2024, the top Google things in beauty. And this brand is far and away like one of the most searched.
Carlene Higgins
Wow.
Jill Dunn
I wanted to actually call it in and try it. And this product that I really like from them is the flower nose. It's the lip lacquer.
Carlene Higgins
Here's what it looks like, everybody. It looks like a tiny bottle of perfume. It's so pretty. It's like mint green with, like Jill said, like this ornate rose cap. It looks like the Queen of England back in like Victorian times may have owned this.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, it's a coating lip lacquer. So this is. This brand gives you a lot of very interesting textures and I've been loving this product. Because it's a long wear lacquer, but your lips don't feel like they're gonna crack off. I was like impressed. I'm not gonna say that all of the products are for me.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
But I think that this one is a winner and they have some cheek colors too that are really cool and I think it's really on trend and that's why I want talk about it. Because this doll like makeup is not going anywhere.
Carlene Higgins
Right.
Jill Dunn
And this is like handshake emoji these two. This brand goes with that trend so well. And like the doyen look that it's like D o u Y I n makeup trend and there's a few others. It's like Doll face is another brand that kind of is leading this trend. Like I know Teen Vogue writes about them a lot, but anyway, this one does not look grown up at all. But I really do like the product.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. There is a creator that I'm really interested in having on the podcast who does this doll like makeup? The only fans girl, Ari Kitzia. I want to say. Yeah. She's dating Young gravy. I know this is so off brand for me. But she does this kind of makeup which is very like give it to the OGs. Obviously like K Beauty inspired this doll. Like, like painting on the freckles.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
You know, the highlighter of the nose, like very, very hand painted tagline for.
Jill Dunn
A flower nose is live your fairy tales. Like it could.
Carlene Higgins
She was a fairy. Oh my gosh. That's going. That's all I can think about 100%.
Jill Dunn
And it's just really fun. It's really fun. And I think, you know, I. I've been trying, I've been wanting to cover it all year, but there's just never a good time.
Carlene Higgins
And now here we are. Great. Perfect Amazon tie in. I think Flower knows really popularized cloud lip creams apparently is what I learned. Yeah.
Jill Dunn
They. The flower nose has a cloud lip product that they were. It's. It's one of their top sellers.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, exactly. So that's how I discovered it. So you can go to their website and we'll link to it. But it shows what the finish looks like. It's really this again doll, like very cloudy diffused color.
Jill Dunn
Okay. We've covered makeup, we've covered skin care. Any other little treasures that you're coveting for Amazon Prime Day?
Carlene Higgins
Carlene, what I really want to tell you about is a true innovation.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Okay. This is E PhD bond repair nail treatment.
Jill Dunn
Great.
Carlene Higgins
It is 20% off for Prime Day. So normally it's $20 US 2750 in Canada. The Prime Day price in the US$16 run. Don't walk to pick this up, everybody. EPHD is from the same parent company as is ePre and that's EP R E S, which I've talked about in the past. It is an amazing hair treatment using that whole bond building technology. It's a spray in and it was created by one of the original founders and chemists behind Olaplex. So this is like next generation Olaplex. Right. I absolutely love that hair treatment. The proof is truly in the pudding. It makes your hair like silk. And so what now he's gone and done is use that same patented biodiffusion technology that's in the hair products and put it into a nail product. So in the same way it's meant to strengthen the nail. It's like a top coat. It's got that patented molecule and it basically works by putting like this cross link into your nails. That's going to strengthen like brittle, weak splitting nails, which is what I have. So if you're like me and you're taking a break, break from shellac gels, all of that during the summer, which is what I'm doing. But my nails just shred. They absolutely shred. This stuff is bomb. You can use it every day for seven days for an intensive repair, then just use it a couple times a week for maintenance.
Jill Dunn
And everybody that, if you're just listening, it kind of looks like a nail polish bottle.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. You put it on exactly like nail polish and it feels like a base coat when you put it on seven days. You can see the before and afters on their website. It's, it's like insane. But they also say that you get results after one use. I thought that was total bs, but sure enough, I used it one time. I had no splitting, chipping or breaking for like four or five days after one use. That.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Never happens to us.
Jill Dunn
To me, we've been kind of starved for this category of nail repair in terms of like you said, innovation. And there's plenty of great brands out there at the drugstore. Essie, Sally Hansen. But a lot of those are just addressing frankly like cosmetic. Yeah, cosmetic treatments of the nail, the nail plate. You can make it look better, but is it really like healing it as it were or is it really actually repairing? Yeah. So I have this product. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't taken my nail polish off.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah.
Jill Dunn
However, I think it's absolutely Brilliant. And because it is a bit more of an investment, why not save 20%?
Carlene Higgins
Absolutely. Now here's another one that I would say is a run, don't walk situation and also kind of that I can't believe it's on Amazon. It's called Maison Louis Marie. This is a fragrance brand that I've been dying to talk about because I love it so much. And this is one of those French perfume brands where they started out in like the 1790s in France. There's a whole story behind it where it was like this guy and he worked with these botanicals and created these fragrances and several generations later his like somebody in his ancestry, like his great granddaughters or something like that, restarted the brand with her husband.
Jill Dunn
Is that the Louis or the Marie?
Carlene Higgins
I'm not entirely sure. I'm trying to speed around this. But anyways, they're based out of la and their fragrances are so special. It's like a modern version of French perfumery. More affordable I would say. They have eau de parfums and they also have of perfume oils which I actually prefer. And for some mystery that's beyond me, I find that these are less cloying and they get at my sensitivities less with these. So what I'm going to recommend as a shout out is the Maison Louis Marie natural roll on perfume oil five piece discovery set. It's 55 in the US, 77 in Canada. That's going to give you five of their best selling fragrances so you can try them. And I love a perfume oil, especially in the summer. It's that close to your skin. There's something about how it drives with your sweat where it's just so beautiful.
Jill Dunn
I'm going to spray this one since this is a hair mist I'm going to put on my hair.
Carlene Higgins
But guys, vanilla, this is, this is what's not on Amazon yet. It's just newly launching. But I still need to let everybody know because I'm so obsessed with these. They just launched hair and body mists. Okay. They are only 28 US $40 in Canada even though they are 100 mils or 3.4 fluid ounces. And this is like the whole sol geneiro. We know that these hair and body mists have taken off, so imagine that. But a fine fragrance version, like a French perfumey. These smell so much like chica and like an actual perfume. But they are, they're water based, they're alcohol free, they're enriched with hyaluronic acid, seaweed extract, so it's giving you those, like, skincare qualities. But it just smells so nice. And even though it's, it's. There's no alcohol, I actually find that these last.
Jill Dunn
Okay.
Carlene Higgins
Like I did a test and at the end of the day I was like, can still smell it. And because it's this light mist, spray it on your legs, spray it on your arms, in your hair, it's not overwhelming. These are honestly, this is the perfume of the summer to me. This is it.
Jill Dunn
Cool.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah. What about you, Jill? What else before we let people go is like, they have to know.
Jill Dunn
Well, we did tease a couple of big promos. I'm going to tease that way is on Amazon. A lot of people may not know that 20 off every single one of their products stock up. And they just launched their. They just relaunched their dry shampoo. You know, this is right now, Christophe Robin, which we don't hear about a lot, we don't talk about a lot, but it's always in my shower last from the past. Their sea salt shampoo is so amazing for the scalp and in the summer, I love it. And it's 20 to 30% off everything. Christophe Robin, including guys, they have a color depositing hair mask that I will be using. It's amazing for toning brassiness. Okay. They have five shades. So if you're someone you're like not gonna see your colorist get this. And then second to last, Dyson. They are putting their Dyson Air straight on promo for 14 off. So in Canada, it's normally 700. So we will take the 14 off.
Carlene Higgins
Okay, absolutely. Basically no tax on that one.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, exactly.
Carlene Higgins
That's like a hundred dol savings.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, pretty much.
Carlene Higgins
Okay, well, it's that moment. Thank you for that, Jill. Everybody needs that PSA now. It's the time has come for our deepest discount of the hour. So mine is the Cosrx. I'm going to go ahead and Recommend the advanced snail 92 all in one cream Y, which is 46 off. Everybody almost fully half price. Everybody already knows about the advanced snail 96 muin power essence. Right. We've talked about it before. We've actually sold a bunch of those from our storefront because everybody loves Iconic. It's also, by the way, 48 off.
Jill Dunn
That's incredible.
Carlene Higgins
Almost half off. So this is about $26 regularly US so it's probably close to probably about 30 Canadian. I think not as many people know about this. This is a lightweight moisturizing cream meant to give you like a glowy skin effect. And I do love the idea of this because the snail mucin, I always equate that to, like, healing, calming. It's great for my rosacea. It's also good when you've gotten a bit too much sun. When you want that. I. I know, but you want that, like, cooling effect, but also from overheating. You know what I mean? Like, not even just being directly in the sun. So it really has that just, like, super hydrating. It's got hyaluronic acid in it as well. I used it this morning. Under makeup, a little goes a long way. But again, like a night cream in the summer, you want something more lightweight and fresh to it. This is it.
Jill Dunn
About two summers ago or three summers ago, I had this sent to me, and I actually emptied it one summer, but I used it in the daytime. And it's really kind of funny to apply because it almost has, like, a mucusy texture where it's like. When you open the lid, it like, it. It looks like silly Putty where it kind of goes.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, here, I'll show it to you guys.
Jill Dunn
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Carlene Higgins
It's so true.
Jill Dunn
It's like. It's almost like if you accidentally turned it upside down on your counter, it would all spill out because it's like. So the texture's not runny, but it's like visque.
Carlene Higgins
No, it's the words. It's like that. And it's not sticky either, but it really does feel like mucus, you know? And that's because it is infused with 92% snail mucin.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Which is that. Snail secretion filtrate. And don't worry, guys, it even says here on their website that no snail have been harmed in the making of this product. It says snail mucin is obtained in a safe and environmentally friendly way in a favorite environment of snails.
Jill Dunn
Amazing.
Carlene Higgins
Which is cute. I just imagine them all on this little snail farm where they're, like, crawling across the mesh. I've seen the video of it, guys. They're just walking, and then they collect this.
Jill Dunn
It's like we're cleaning up their poop.
Carlene Higgins
They're not being squeezed or anything. Don't worry. Jill, what's your deepest discount?
Jill Dunn
It's so fun. I love Casa X, by the way. I really think they're, like, the pioneers of K beauty, and I so many other products I love. My final product that I'm going to talk about is the deepest discount that I found. And it's a product that is half price, and that is from Maine. The main hair Tools, founded by Jen Atkin. It's new to Amazon and their main maintain, the waves hair kit is normally $100 and you can get it for $50.
Carlene Higgins
Amazing.
Jill Dunn
And so that includes the base. So she has like the power base and then it's like one of those beach waiver things. It's like the three barrels.
Carlene Higgins
Yeah, the three prongs.
Jill Dunn
So you can get that. And I find because it's actually developed by a hairstylist, it's. Even though it's inexpensive, the heat and like, I've tried many of the hair tools and they. The quality is there. It stacks up against a lot of tools that are a lot more expensive.
Carlene Higgins
Okay.
Jill Dunn
And so I just wanted to shout that out because Beach Waves for everyone. And I think possibly there, there might be other deals going to be on there too. But that brand is, the branding is just so fun. And they have a travel hair dryer, everyone, that is the perfect size.
Carlene Higgins
Ooh.
Jill Dunn
And I, I do travel with it.
Carlene Higgins
I need this for Italy with an adapter. Of course.
Jill Dunn
Yeah.
Carlene Higgins
Happy summer to everyone. Enjoy. We all deserve it. Happy shopping on Amazon and every single.
