Let's get into the deals.

1. ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

Megan's first top pick is the iconic ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. The cult classic cleaser is perfect for takihng off your make up, and can also be used as a mask too - win, win!

Thanks to it's special elderberry oil, starflower oil and padina pavonica formula it not only feels great but it smells great too. It can also be used as a nourishing face mask as well as a cleanser, Yorkshire Live reports.

The 100g jar is usually £48.00 and it's been slashed to just £33.99 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, saving you £14.01. It lasts for ages too, so well worth the price!

2. Ninja Air Fryer

Back to the Ninja Air Fryer, which is Megan's second pick. It has four main cooking functions, including Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, which means you can cook delicious mains, sides and snacks in a much quicker time period than a conventional oven and it's healthier too!

3. ghd Hair Straightener

ghd straighteners are an investment. They work on a range of hair types, and last years. Amazon currently have the cult classic that is the professional styler on sale for 30% less than its usual price.

4. Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

Rosemary oil has gone viral on TikTok as it claims to help hair growth - and this brand in particular has been getting a lot of attention. It contains a nutrient-rich, intensive formula which is suitable for all hair types and includes an impressive 30 essential oils. It is said to nourish hair follicles, smooth split ends and help with dry scalp.

Both rosemary and mint essential oils are known to increase blood circulation, and according to the brand, the more oxygen stimulating those hair follicles, the faster, thicker, stronger and longer the hair will grow. Need I say more?!

I have one of these at home myself and I have to admit we absolutely love it, it's easy to use, creates delicious barista-style coffee and what's more it's stylish and looks really nice on the kitchen worktop too!
