Yes—you read that right. Amazon’s biggest shopping event of the year is returning on October 8 and 9. If July’s Prime Day is any indication, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, or October Prime Day, will undoubtedly have some of the best end-of-the-year beauty sales. While we mark our calendars for midnight on October 8, I’m happy to report that you don’t have to wait until then for some significant markdowns.
Across Amazon’s beauty department, there are many impressive early deals to shop now. Keep scrolling to see more than 20 deals that caught my eye from brands like Laura Geller, Essie, TULA, L’Oréal, Christophe Robin and more.
Makeup on Sale
Upgrading your makeup bag doesn’t have to cost a small investment. Each of my picks below won’t cost you more than $23. For example, at $22 is an award-winning dewy blush that’s especially great for mature skin. Then I saw the legendary Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer for just $9 and the celebrity-favorite L’Oréal Lumi Glotion for just $14. Want to perfect your Taylor Swift-like cat eye? E.l.f.’s No Budge Retractable Eyeliner has over 15,000 five-star ratings and is only $4.
Skin Care on Sale
Want to wake up to plump, smooth skin? I, and over 36,000 five-star reviews, can vouch for CeraVe’s Skin Renewing Night Cream ($17), an Amazon number-one best seller. Speaking of potent anti-aging ingredients, Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer ($25) and RoC’s Brightening Vitamin C Serum ($24) are also on sale. Plus, ANUA’s Niacinamide + Tranexamic Acid Serum is now under $20. The shopper-loved K-beauty product has gone viral for effectively fading dark spots. If you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend TULA’s fragrance-free cleanser ($29). Our editor says it “delivers truly clean, supple skin every time.” Finally, for a deeper clean, use Bubble’s Deep Dive AHA + PHA Exfoliating Mask ($14). It’s made with fruit enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids, which dissolve dead skin cells in favor of a smoother and softer complexion.
Hair Products on Sale
Budget-friendly hair care doesn’t mean sacrificing moisture-rich formulas. OGX’s Coconut Milk collection and L’Oréal’s Ever Pure Moisture products deliver silky strands after the first use. If you’re willing to splurge a little, the famous French hair brand Christophe Robin has select products discounted; we like the Leave-In Treatment ($34) enriched with aloe vera. For an aerosol- and benzene-free dry shampoo, Monday’s Original Dry Shampoo is now just $7. Want to stop dandruff and flakes? Nizoral’s Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($16) is a clinically-proven solution that’s nearly 50 percent off.
Nail Polish on Sale
If you’re anything like me and aren’t great at maintaining salon manicures, stock up on easy-to-use at-home nail polishes. Tons of polishes and colors from Revlon, Eddie and Sally Hansen are on sale for under $10. I think Revlon’s “Fearless” ($5) shade is the perfect year-round-red and Essie’s “Wild Nude” ($9) is a taupe-y tan I’ll have on a permanent rotation. Plus, it doesn’t get any more fall than Sally Hansen’s “Just in Wine.”
