Levi’s, Apple and CeraVe are among Amazon’s 50 best early July 4th deals starting at $4

I know we are now several weeks into the season, but does this Really Want summer until July 4? It’s one of my favorite holidays for several reasons: the barbecues, the great weather, and of course, all the great sales that fall at exactly the time my summer wardrobe needs a refresh. Luckily, you don’t have to wait until the bank holiday weekend to make the most of this year’s discounts; Amazon has already posted thousands of deals on fashion, beauty, travel, home, and tech products, and prices start at just $4.

Holiday weekends are meant to be spent with loved ones, which is why I decided to do the heavy lifting now and round up a list of Amazon’s best deals. The retailer is offering deep discounts on summer fashion essentials like Levi’s denim shorts, Sam Edelman ballet flats, and New Balance sneakers. Beauty favorites from brands like CeraVe, Garnier, and Revlon are also on sale. And since it’s travel season, you’ll also find discounts on luggage, packing cubes, and tote bags that are perfect for weekend getaways.

Below, find my best Amazon deals from early July 4th with up to 60% off, and be sure to shop while these items are still in stock.

Amazon’s fashion sale is full of warm-weather staples like breezy dresses, versatile tanks, and wide-leg pants. This crochet coverup is perfect for beach days, while these 60% off linen pants are a style I reach for all summer long. For days that involve a quick jog or stroll around town, I’ve been eyeing these discounted New Balance sneakers that customers are calling “cloud-like.” And of course, it wouldn’t be summer without a pair of flip-flops, so I’m snagging this best-selling pair while they’re on sale for $16.

One customer who has worn the dress to several weddings called it “the perfect flowy dance in which you can dance.”

Bandolino Philly Mary Jane Flats

I couldn’t be more obsessed with these unique wicker picnic basket ballet flats come to life. The now $50 pair comes in three other colors, each with a round toe and a Mary Jane strap with a buckle closure. Plus, stars like Gigi Hadid and Katie Holmes are fans of this shoe style. I plan to pair them with a white linen dress and matching woven bag.

Best beauty deals

Goodbye to dry, dull winter skin and hello to dewy, radiant summer glow. Seriously, given how much the colder months have affected my skin this year, this summer I’m focusing more than ever on upping my beauty game. And since I’m wearing less makeup during the warmer months, I’m being especially picky about what I buy. Luckily, Amazon’s latest deals aren’t just on clothing: They’re also offering discounts on some of my favorite beauty brands, like CeraVe and Maybelline. I’ll be restocking my holy grail Topicals Faded Brightening and Brightening Serum, and finally checking out what all the snail mucin hype is about.

CeraVe SA Cleanser

Along with 20,000 other Amazon shoppers, I purchased this CeraVe cleanser last month and can confidently say I have no regrets. The exfoliating facial cleanser contains salicylic acid, which has helped my skin fight breakouts and control oil. One customer who calls the wash “worth every penny” also noted that her skin improved noticeably after using it.

Powerful restorative essence with snail mucin from Cosrx

Just scroll through the reviews of this now $12 serum to understand the obsession with snail mucin. Customers say it “lasts like silk in a bottle” and their skin feels “more hydrated and plump” after use. Since Cosrx Snail Mucin Restorative Essence is now on sale for more than half off, there’s never been a better time to try it.

Best travel deals

Are you packing your bags this summer? You are not the only one. With several trips planned, it’s high time I restock my travel essentials. Luggage sets, toiletry bags, and Apple AirTags are all on sale as part of Amazon’s early July 4th sale. I recently discovered the genius of packing cubes, so I’ll be buying those too, along with other organizational essentials like tote bags and carry-on bags.

HiLife Portable Steamer

In the summer, my favorite fabrics are those that contain silk or satin. However, they’re not the most wrinkle-resistant styles, which is why I’m adding this $30 portable steamer to my cart. Over 50,000 Amazon customers have purchased it in the past month, making it a clear winner. One reviewer even took the steamer on a cross-country trip and confirmed that it left their “clothes fresh and wrinkle-free.”

Apple AirTag

After one too many close calls with lost luggage, I’m not going anywhere this summer without my Apple AirTag, which is on sale for just $25. All you have to do is set up the AirTag with the Find My app on your Apple device, then you can pop the tag into your travel bags to make sure that even if something do get lost, it will be easy to find again.

‘Tis the season for hot girl walks, which means a new pair of headphones is in order. Although I’ve tried alternatives, none are as good as the Apple Airpods Pro, which are now on sale for 20% off. Reviewers swear by them too, including one buyer who said they were “extremely comfortable” with “incredible sound quality.”
