Anyone who knows me is fully aware — I don’t buy anything unless it’s on sale. That philosophy led me on a career path as a shopping editor who quite literally spends eight hours a day, well, shopping. And after hours of working, you can bet I know all the best deals happening during Amazon’s Labor Day sale . . . and many of them have landed right in my cart.
This Labor Day weekend, I’m snapping up comfy transitional clothes, hard-working skincare and even a few home items to get my space ready for fall. I’m talking up to 50% off Levi’s, CoverGirl, Yankee Candle and Rothy’s — just to name a few. Plus, some of these picks are fresh iterations of items I already own, so you know they’re good if I’m buying them again. Read on for a glimpse inside this shopping editor’s cart!
10 Editor-Loved Labor Day Sales on Amazon
1. Cable Cutie: I’m not quite ready for sweater weather, but this cable knit top is letting me live out my fall dreams. With a collar neckline, knit material and woven details, this sweater top screams ‘Hamptons chic’ — was $34, now $25!
2. Under $10: Covergirl’s tinted lip balm is my more affordable version of the Clinique Black Honey lipstick. Truthfully, I have (and love) both. And yet, I keep buying this chunky balm in more shades than one — was $8, now $6!
3. Bestseller Alert: Years of throwing on my Adidas sneakers caused serious wear-and-tear, so I’m replacing them with these popular Grand Court 2.0 shoes — was $70, now $55!
4. Transitional Must-Have: Until the temp drops below 70, you can bet I’m wearing shorts. These Levi’s Baggy Shorts are perfect for the transitional season, providing a relaxed fit and just enough length — was $60, now $30!
5. Steep Discount: I’ve been holding on to my old laptop since college, but this Apple deal has me thinking otherwise. The 13-inch MacBook Air laptop is slimmer, lighter and way prettier than the one I currently have — was $999, now $799!

6. Dinner Date: I love a ‘going out top’ that makes me look expensive and feel like a model, and this off-the-shoulder pick does just that. The soft material hugs the body nicely while the ruching provides a slimming effect — was $35, now $20!
7. Celeb-Loved: A-listers like Bethenny Frankel love these Grace & Stella eye masks — and so do I. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, amino acids and glycerin, the patches smooth wrinkles and give my skin extra hydration — was $46, now $30!
8. Fall Favorite: OK, so the first day of fall isn’t until September 22, but who’s counting? This spiced pumpkin Yankee Candle jar is ripe for the picking, giving my home an autumnal feel . . . since I’m mentally there anyway — was $31, now $22!
9. Genius Style: Even if you have slip-on shoes in your closet, I guarantee they’re not like Rothy’s pointed flats. Made with recycled plastic bottles, the shoes are soft, durable and machine washable. Yep, you read that right — was $199, now $89!
10. Mom-Approved: Suffering with dry hands and cracked feet is no joke, which is why I religiously slather on this moisturizing cream that my 63-year-old mom swears by. My mom didn’t go without it, and neither will I — was $17, now $14!
