The cult-fave lip balm

The Amazon Prime Day deal: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, regular price $29, amazon.ca

The deal: Save 30%. SHOP HERE

This editor-fave lip balm is a much-loved product for many reasons. Not only does the leave-on overnight lip mask soothe and moisturize your lips for hours and hours, it’s rich in antioxidants and comes in many delightful fruity flavours like peach iced tea and strawberry (the purple one is gummy bear, fun!), so you’ll love swiping it on your lips right before you go to sleep.

The perfect summer dress

Whether you’re shopping for a great wedding guest look or heading to Europe this summer, this dress will turn heads whenever you go. Bench your go-to LBD in favour of this bold, beautiful clementine-hued one-shoulder tiered dress with flattering side cutouts from Amazon's fashion-focused brand The Drop. (Though it does also come in black, as well as white and a range of other brights.)

The celeb-approved vitamin C serum

The Amazon Prime Day deal: L’Oréal Paris 12% Pure Vitamin C Face Serum, regular price $32, amazon.ca.

The deal: Save 30%. SHOP HERE

Actress Aja Naomi King told us this is the product she reaches for every morning. There's a long list of benefits from adding a vitamin C product to your skincare routine: brighter-looking skin, extra protection from harmful UV rays (though it's not a sub for sunscreen), fighting hyperpigmentation, to name a few. If you’re looking for a new vitamin C serum to try, L’Oréal Paris’s latest one, with added purifying salicylic acid and nourishing vitamin E is a worthy one to add to cart.
