Amazon carries over 12 million—yes, million—different products... Yep, let that soak into your brain. Yet still, you’re expected to just know which items are worth purchasing during your rather frequent online shopping ventures. (Hello, decision-making anxiety!) And while you could search the site for hours on end and look to influencers or ask your friends about their fave stuff from the site, there's a better, more efficient way to uncover what Amazon has to offer: taking a peek at its bestsellers.
It sounds so ridiculously simple. Of course, you’d want to know what customers buy most often! But for some reason, it feels less intuitive than searching through your thousands of TikTok Likes to purchase that one beauty tool you saw while scrolling at 3 a.m. Perhaps it’d be more helpful to have a trustworthy go-to list of best-selling products on Amazon to aid you in your search for, well, anything. It’d be even better if this guide were filled with low-key, life-changing picks—like an epic pressure cooker or incredibly comfy leggings. Well, your wish is our command. And with Prime Dayaround the corner (it’s on July 11 and 12, peeps!), we suggest bookmarking this page by hitting “save article” at the top to see if some of your faves are on sale during the major sales event.
Below, you’ll find 70 must-have (and best-selling!) Amazon finds with near five-star ratings and glowing reviews that definitely deserve a spot in your cart. Fair warning though: You’re probably gonna want everything.
Big things come in small packages! This lil eye balm will work wonders for ya. Packed with aloe water, apple, watermelon, probiotic extracts, and caffeine, this brightening stick will help with dark circles and puffiness.
If you hate doing your makeup under terrible bathroom lighting, snag this sleek vanity mirror. It’s got 21 LED lights you can turn on by just touching the screen and three different mirror magnifications so you can get up close and personal with your face.
Dads, fashion girlies, and sneakerheads alike simply can’t help but love these super comfortable New Balance sneakers. And because some coveted kicks can cost upwards of $100, you really can’t beat scoring these sneaks for 85 bucks.
