Look, I’ve never been an Amazon person. I’m someone who’s charmed by a retail experience—the kind with thoughtful curation. Amazon, historically, has offered none of that. Just an endless scroll of off-brand phone chargers and bulk Scrub Daddy packs (which, full disclosure, I actually do want).
I’ve been covering Prime Day since Amazon launched in Australia back in 2017, and as someone more adjacent to fashion and beauty than, say, routers and robot vacuums, it’s often felt underwhelming. But with Prime Day 2025 about to kick off—and the internet buzzing about how it’s “different this year”—I gave it another shot. Expectations low, judgement high. And to my surprise? I found some genuinely good things.
ELLE’s Edit Of The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals:
- Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long, $749 at Amazon
- BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Mask Bundle, $37 at Amazon
- Bose QuietComfort Headphones, $649 at Amazon
- Apple AirTag 4 Pack, $649 at Amazon
- Revlon Volumiser Blowout Brush, $149 at Amazon
Yes, there was still a lot of scrolling. Yes, randomness remains part of the DNA. But maybe that’s the charm?. Somewhere between cable organisers and bulk sock bundles, I unearthed some real gems—tech upgrades, TikTok-viral items, and a few things I’d happily make room for in my apartment.
And just a quick reminder: while we might skew fashion and beauty around here, there’s no escaping the need for practical essentials. And honestly, there’s a certain satisfaction in scoring a deal on the everyday items that keep life running smoothly—leaving a little extra wiggle room for the things that truly make life delightful. Call it Amazon arithmetic, if you will.
While Prime Day hasn’t officially kicked off yet (mark your calendars for June 8), find the best of the early deals below, plus a few of our predictions.

What Is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is Amazon’s biggest annual sales event. Previously running over a 48-hour period, shoppers can now access thousands of deals across tech, beauty, fashion, home essentials, and more over the coure of the four day sale. Think of it as Amazon’s version of Black Friday—except in July.
The event was first launched in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon’s birthday, but it has since become a major mid-year shopping moment. Prime Day has increasingly become a destination for genuinely good discounts—on everything from Apple products to trending skincare.
If you’ve been holding out on a big-ticket purchase or just want to stock up on everyday basics, this is often the best time to do it.
When Is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon Prime Day in Australia for 2025 will begin at 12:01 am AEST on Tuesday, July 8th, and run until 11:59 pm AEST on Monday, July 14th. That’s four full days of non-stop deals, flash sales, and limited-time offers that tend to sell out fast.
If you’re planning to shop, it’s worth prepping in advance: add items to your wishlist, keep your notifications on, and don’t sleep on Lightning Deals—they’re known to disappear in minutes.
Who Can Shop Amazon Prime Day?
To access Prime Day deals, you need an active Amazon Prime membership. The event is exclusive to Prime members, but Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, which means you can technically shop the event for free—if you time things right.
Once you’re in, you’ll get full access to all the Prime Day discounts, plus other membership perks like free shipping, Prime Video, and more.
