These travel accessories in the Amazon Prime Day sale have made me an organised queen
Because nothing says I’m going on holiday like a last-minute Amazon order
I can’t be the only one to think that part of the pre-holiday joy is getting new products and accessories to go away with. I’m a disorganised queen at heart but I’m on a constant mission to become organised — and the summer is where I can really put that to the test.
That’s where the best Prime Day deals come in handy. Prime Day takes place from 12.01 AM on 16 July until midnight on 17 July, with some of my favourite brands offering epic deals. Yes, please!
And lucky for you, I’m sharing my packing list of travel essentials so you can focus on putting your travel itinerary together and shopping a new wardrobe — why not add a new fancy toothbrush (with 50% off), the best beauty buys, and some new trainers while you’re at it?
I’ve found packing cubes, sunscreen, mini body care sets and even a drinks holder for your suitcase discounted for Prime Day. But enough talking, let’s get shopping.
These are the 17 key products I’ve bookmarked for my holiday travels.
The best part of packing is decanting beauty products, amirite? OK, maybe not, but it’s always more fun when the set of toiletry bottles are this pretty.
This 16 set comes with four bottles, four jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers, one funnel, one cleaning brush, one page of labels and one bag. That’s a lot of airport security-approved toiletries!
Don’t pack light? Try this large toiletry bag. It has four compartments with handy zip pockets, is water-resistant and — the best part — has a hook, so you can hang all your travel essentials for easy access.
It might seem a little OTT but this phone holder makes those short-haul, no-TV flights far more entertaining. Use it to watch your favourite show, read your new thriller or play games on. It’s a 4-in-1 stand so can be used in a bunch of different ways.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Clinical Vitamin C SPF Fluid
Of course, the top of any beauty editor’s summer recommendations is a sunscreen (or 3). This L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Clinical Vitamin C SPF Fluid is one that I find pretty much everyone loves.
It’s a fluid formula meaning it feels weightless on the skin and works brilliantly on its own or under makeup. Don’t go anywhere without an SPF that you like and will use, OK?
Packaging cubes are a must if you're an organised girlie (or cosplaying as one). This set comes with eight pieces, including four clothes cubes, two smaller zipper bags, a shoe bag and a drawstring bag (which I like to use for laundry).
If you want to feel like you have your life together, these will do the trick.
Is this luggage travel cup holder a necessity? Absolutely not. But do I want it for my holiday travels? Absolutely yes. Not just for drinks though, this is super handy when you've run out of hands to hold all the bits and bobs you need when navigating an airport.
If you choose to shave then using high-quality razors should be on the top of your summer Prime Day list. Changing the blades often is key to give you a silky smooth finish, as well as avoiding ingrown hairs and razor rash.
I personally love the Venus Comfort razors as they have three blades per razor and are soft on the skin. It gives me the best result and I never have to worry about razor nicks or ingrown hairs. Take these on your trip instead of opting for the cheapest razors in the store.
Makeup bags are instantly more fun with cute smiley faces printed on them.
A Kindle is a simple way to maximise space in your carry-on by having 100s of books in one. Get it on Prime Day with over 25% off.
I don’t know about you, but when I’m in summer beauty mode I rely on my body products more than any other season. I'm currently applying fake tan (since I like to stay out of the sun) to give me that faux glow, I’m far more sweaty (TMI, sorry) doing my workouts, and I like to keep any rough skin at bay.
That’s why the affordable but brilliant brand Q+A is always in my rotation and this Q+A Travel Trio Gift Set, containing a body wash, body scrub and body lotion, is ideal.
Mini makeup brushes are a must on holiday, especially if you're sticking to that teeny tiny carry on allowance. Real Techniques brushes never miss. They're excellent quality and super easy to use.
This is an 11-piece set, including brushes for blush, bronzer and concealer, as well as a spoolie and angled brush for more precise application.
During the summer, our skin can become a little more dry (particularly if you’re going in and out of pools and oceans). That’s why I always pack something like E45’s Lips & Dry Skin Lip Balm to keep my skin feeling moisturised and comfortable.
Summer holidays require a handheld fan. Future you will be thankful for past you for getting this during Prime Day.
Just like our skin getting a little dry, our hair can get a little worse for wear on holiday with chlorine, prolonged sun exposure and increased washing and heat tool use.
That’s why a detangling product like this brilliant one from Fable & Mane is always top of my haircare list.
Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener
If sleek shiny hair is at the top of your hair goals this summer (goodbye fluffy hair), then get this Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener on your Prime Day deal list.
Trust me, your humid holiday hair is no match for this. The ceramic-coated plates are infused with argan oil to help boost shine while straightening the hair. It has temperature control and heats up in a speedy 15 seconds. It’s a whopping 70% off during Prime Day, too.
Jewellery can get into a tangled mess during travels so having a handy organiser like this is a great idea — especially when it’s almost 50% off.
