Amazon’s Fire tablet is on sale for just £31.99
Thursday 23 June 2022 16:30 , Eva Waite-Taylor
If you’re looking for a deal on a new tablet, the early Prime Day sale is the time to invest. And we’ve just spotted a corker of a deal:
Amazon fire 7 tablet: Was £59.99, now £31.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking to jump on the tablet hype then Amazon fire models are certainly worth considering. One of the retailer’s best sellers, the Amazon fire 7 landed a spot in our review of the best tablets where our tester described it as “lightweight and effortlessly portable”.
It has great speeds thanks to its quad-core processor, there’s a choice of 16GB or 32GB of storage packed under the hood. You can also expect up to seven hours of use on one charge, whether you’re listening to music, browsing or enquiring with Alexa about what to have for lunch.
Amazon Prime Day vs Black Friday: Should you wait?
Thursday 23 June 2022 16:00 , Eva Waite-Taylor
When it comes to sales events, Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day are the biggest and the best. But of course, there are differences between the two that might influence when you choose to shop.
One of the main differences is that during Black Friday you’ll see thousands of retailers partaking and offering big discounts across the board, so in theory, you have more choice.
This is in stark contrast to Prime Day, where the sale is limited (albeit not so much considering the sheer number of products the retailer stocks) to just the items on Amazon’s website. That being said, the perk of Prime Day is that the deals are all in one place, making it far easier to navigate than the beast that is Black Friday. And the discounts are exclusively for those with a Prime membership, so you may have more of a chance of snapping up an absolute bargain because there’s less competition.
On Prime Day, the main deals you’ll see are across Amazon’s tech and own-brand devices, with discounts up to 50 per cent off in previous years, so it’s the perfect time to benefit from huge savings.
To answer the question of whether you should wait, with Amazon’s previous track record in mind, you’ll get very similar, if not the same, deals, so we’d suggest shopping to your heart’s content on Prime Day.
Olaplex’s cult favourite No.3 hair perfector is 50% off now
Thursday 23 June 2022 15:30 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Olaplex No.3 hair perfector: Was £32, now £15.97, Amazon.co.uk
This was the first at-home treatment Olaplex launched, and it took the world by storm. When we roadtested the brand’s entire line of products, our writer noted that it “worked wonders on our split ends and made our hair visibly more shiny”. They found it to be a “really effective at-home solution”, and claimed that it “produced results that were far better than other at-home treatments we’ve used in the past”.
It doesn’t come cheap though, so we’d certainly recommend snapping it up while it’s just £15.97.

According to the brand, it provides a deep tissue massage and features 30-speed settings and a maximum of 3200 percussions per minute, so that you can adjust to exactly how you like your massage.

Thursday 23 June 2022 09:45 , Eva Waite-Taylor
‘Halo Infinite’ digital download for Xbox and Windows: Was £54.99, now £24.99, Amazon.co.uk
Halo Infinite is the most confident the Halo series has been in years. The campaign follows Spartan supersoldier Master Chief as he continues the fight against the Banished on the ringworld of Zeta Halo with the help of a new AI known as “The Weapon”.
In our review of the game, we said that “Halo Infinite feels like an object from the past that’s been sent from the future. On the one hand, 343 Industry’s long-awaited sci-fi sequel is solidly backwards-looking – an attempt to mimic the formula that made earlier entries like Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3 such tremendous successes.”
With 55 per cent off and recent updates to its campaign and multiplayer, there’s never been a better time to dive back into the world of Halo.

Thursday 23 June 2022 09:15 , Eva Waite-Taylor
Apple is notorious for not taking part in sales, but you’re likely to find competitive prices at Amazon on Prime Day. Case in point on the tech giant’s popular earbuds.
Apple AirPods pro with MagSafe charging case: Was £239, now £184, Amazon.co.uk
