My 9 July Amazon Favorites

It’s wild to think we’re in the last month of summer.

So let’s launch the new month by sharing my favorite Amazon finds from July, including the best earbuds that aren’t from Apple, the best running shorts for under $30 a splurgy deodorant – who knew that was a thing? – and more.

My 9 July Amazon Favorites

Dr.NOAH Silicone Wall Mount Toothbrush Holder

I bought a few of these to take to the beach.

They stick to the mirror and hold two toothbrushes.

To make sure they adhere without falling off, be sure that both surfaces are completely clean.

Available in a few colors for only $12.

Raycon The Everyday Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds

I bought these Raycon Earbuds during Amazon Prime Days last month, and they are outstanding.

Seriously.

The battery lasts forever, the sound is incredible, and they are comfortable to wear.

My one friend has these too, and she said she accidentally washed them, and they still work like new.

CRZ YOGA Women’s High Waisted Running Shorts – 3” 

Listen, I’m at the beach for the rest of the summer so I packed all of my clothes, and every single morning since we got here, I’ve have got up and put on these shorts.

They are awesome. So incredibly comfortable, great for walking or running in the heat, they don’t ride up, and wash well.

I bought them in black, navy, and pink.

Available for $28, runs small, size up one.

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Stick

TikTok made me buy the Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant Stick, and I have to say, it was worth the splurge.

It smells as lovely, feels soft and powdery, and really helps prevent sweat.

We’ve had some very hot days at the beach, and this works great.

Dragon Fit Women Sleeveless Yoga Tops 

Every morning I get up and go for a long walk, wearing the CRZ Yoga Shorts (above) and this tank by Dragon Fit.

Another find I bought in multiple colors. I LOVE that it has a loose, slim fit, so it falls just away from the body.

And the best part is the length, it’s not cropped, instead it sits right at your waist and is super flattering.

Available for under $20, in XS – XL, runs true to size.

Floerns Women’s Floral Print V Neck Dress 

I saw some beautiful young thing on Instagram wearing this dress, so I ordered it, with zero expectations, I mean ZERO.

So imagine my delight when I put it on and everyone in my house told me I looked pretty.

You can see me in it here. Runs true to size.

I’m wearing it now with flat sandals, and can transition it with suede strappy heels in the early fall.

For more waist definition, you can add a belt.

Straw Bag 

Another cute and affordable bag, this one has a gold circle handle with a tassel detail, and a practical crossbody strap inside.

I picked this up for dinner, but it would also be nice if you are a guest at an end of summer, early fall wedding.

Available for under $30.

PopSockets Phone Wallet

When I go out, especially here at the beach, I like to bring as little as possible.

ID, phone, lipgloss, done.

And this phone wallet from PopSockets is great.

You can fit three card securely in the case, and you have the PopSockets gripper on the back, so you can comfortably hold your phone.

Available for $24.

Hot Tools Pro Artist 24K Gold Curling Iron 

Finally, I ordered this viral curling iron from Hot Tools to see what the fuss was about.

I’ve had my T3 curling iron forever, but it’s a splurge and I’m always looking to find more affordable recommendations.

This is an old school, clamp curling iron.

It gets HOT, so you absolutely should use a heat protectant.

But it’s the heat that gives you lasting curls.

I’ll cover my hair with barrel curls, taking it section by section, letting the tight curl cool allowing it to set.

Then I brush it out and get incredible volume and bounce.

It has almost 30,000 happy reviews, and is under $40.

Megan, I have been using the Donna Karan deodorant since it was first on the scene. It is pricey but for years, including this one, the Nordy's Anniversary Sale has a full size trio specially priced for the sale.

I always stock up and I usually have one left over by the time the sale comes around again the next year.

Well worth it.

Hi all: I ordered this outfit (see link below) from Amazon based it being featured in one of Megan's postings and I LOVE it! I order navy in a medium (I'm 5'6", 124lbs, and pear shaped). The pants feature a good invisible zipper, they are a good length, and not clingy. The top is cropped, but long enough to cover the abdomen with the high waisted pants. It could easily be dressed up or down, nice fabric that I think will pack well. Thanks for such a great recommendation!

I’m sorry to say the socks didn’t work for me. They kept falling off my heel and I tried them in different shoes.

I bought the no show socks. I am wearing my first pair today and I will say they live up to their review. This is the first item that I've ever purchased off of your recommendations and I am pleasantly surprised! I wear Vans most days and have a hard time with no show socks. They all end up under my foot as the day goes on. These ones have not moved a smidge. They are soft and comfie too.

Hi Megan, I am so glad you did the recap for April. I wanted to order the socks and didn't get around to it. I also just ordered the blue striped shirt and the skirt!

Thanks! Brenda

Great summation post. I am petite, way over the hill, past my prime and I always find a good recommendation in your posts. You have introduced me to some new outlets because, like most of us, I have become dependent on Amazon. So, keep all of them them coming and I will keep shopping.

Hi Megan, I love to check what you are featuring on Amazon. Keep a running list of items. I am 67. 5’1 and 120 lbs. also, do not want to look “cute”. Anyway I have an event in June. Beach related. I found a really nice white casual dress, how can I accessorize it to look classy? Appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you. Barb

Hi Megan,

I am going to order the pill organizer to use for holding make up and face care products when traveling. I'll let you know how it works out.

Hi Megan, I am a long time follower and subscriber of all of your content on all platforms. Your content resonates with me because you and I both live in the Philly suburbs, you are a tall woman, similar frame and size to me and you have great style. I mean no disrespect here but over the last several months, your recommendations are leaning heavily to Amazon. I have purchased a few of your Amazon picks ( 2 jewelry pieces, 3 beauty items and 1 striped polo sweater) .They are all great items that I use regularly but would just like to see a return to content that highlights items from a diverse range of retailers/e-commerce sources.

Megan Kristel

Thursday 6th of April 2023

Thank you for your kind words, I'm all for constructive feedback. What I'm confused about is that, I just went back over our content for the last 6 weeks and it's been over a month since we did an Amazon specific feature. I've shared all of our favorite retailers, including Nordstorm, Quince, Everlane, Old Navy, J.Crew, J.Crew Factory, LOFT, Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory in the last 30 days. So I'm not sure how to return to highlighting them when I never stopped. I do sprinkle Amazon into our mix because their prices are more accessible and the cost of living is obviously insane right now. But, again, I'm not sure what it is you'd like me to fix because I'm not seeing an overuse of Amazon.

Hi Megan, to go with the Essential Oil Diffuser you mention in your March Favorite Amazon Finds, can you recommend any particular brand(s) of essential oils? TIA!

I've always assumed that the whole Goop brand situation was not my thing, but the Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub shampoo you featured in your Valentine's roundup caught my eye, and I bought it out of curiosity. Holy moley, that stuff is good! My hair usually only feels this clean after a salon visit.

Thank you for your excellent fashion help. I would be so happy to see some of your counseling for those of us who may not physically “measure up” to the elegant and beautiful sizes meant for fortunate taller women. So often we who are shorter than 5’ 3” must either “make do” or pay for alterations, or just give up. Note: For the record, I am 5’ 1” and 105 pounds. I may be the only short person on Earth who resents being told I look “cute” when I do my best to look “elegant” or at least smartly put together. To me being told I look “cute” is like a pat on the head some rude and condescending adult might give to a three-year-old toddler —although I would never pat anyone on the head.

How do you think that puff sleeve sweater would look on someone who is fairly busty? Would it just exaggerate that? Thanks!

LOVE the pearl earrings!! I have many pairs of more expensive earrings, but I reach for these over and over!!

Janet

Wednesday 8th of February 2023

Megan, I really appreciate this post of January Amazon finds. I bought the pearl earrings because I was looking for something simple and chic to wear with my work scrubs. They are beautiful! Love them so much I bought them as a gift for my sister. I am also always looking for a lipstick that will last a full day of work, so I tried the Pallidio lip stain as you recommended. I am fair skinned with blue eyes but have a golden complexion. The nude was perfect! For me the berry seemed a little too cool red when applied but my coworkers thought the combination worked. They lasted all day and did not bleed! Wonderful product. I am going to see if they have a different red/berry/stain to try also. Thank you for the recommendations. I also just bought a new pair of bootcut jeans so today's post is so appropriate, just need to find those perfect black heels that aren't too high and are comfortable and I will be set! Any recommendations for heels from the group would be appreciated. The ones recommended today are no longer available in my size. Thank you again Megan!!

What a great round up! I think you do a great job, you cannot control the manufacturers sizing!! Thank You!

Megan, you used to make sure that when you recommended clothing, it came in a variety of size ranges. Amazon carries very little in plus or petites that’s worth purchasing. Why the change?

This comment is really frustrating. I work so hard on being inclusive. Yes, this post features Amazon, and yes the few clothing items are limited, I can't do anything about that. But in today's (1/31) article, everything features a range of sizes. The trench comes in "regular" and petite sizes, all of the items from Amazon's the Drop go to a size 5X. The Good American jeans include plus sizes. J.Crew always includes plus sizes and often has petites. No brand is fully inclusive so I have to do my best with what is out there and I think I do really good job. I've said a million times, every post cannot be inclusive, you have to look at the site as a whole in which I am constantly offering as many options as I would put my name behind.
