The 'Big Deals' are already rolling in this October Prime Day and, for me, it offers the perfect opportunity to refresh my beauty arsenal by stocking up on all my essentials - as well as more premium products I've been hoping to snag on sale.

While the best Amazon Prime Day deals are often on tech and home gadgets, there is usually also a good haul of beauty buys on sale too, from rare Elemis deals to premium hair tools (psst, there are currently ghd and Shark hair dryer deals on right now), and of course, everyday favourites like mascara and makeup remover. And with the event live from Tuesday 7th, through until midnight on Wednesday 8th, there's plenty of time to score a saving and treat yourself.

I, for one, am wasting no time in curating my Amazon shopping cart, and in case you need help cutting through all the deal noise, I'm sharing all the beauty products I always wait for Prime Day to buy - from my favourite hair oils to more indulgent skincare formulas...

Shopping FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day first took place in 2015 as an annual two-day sale in mid-July; however, in 2022 they introduced a second Prime Day sale in October. This year, Amazon's Big Deal Days will run from Tuesday 7th of October, through until midnight on Wednesday 8th, meaning there's still plenty of time to snap up some incredible savings.

How to find the best beauty deals

Our Beauty eCommerce Editor Aleesha has been covering Amazon Prime Day and all of the retailer's big sale events since 2020. She's tried hair tools from all major brands, including almost every ghd tool, but has a particular savvy in skincare and fragrance. With years of beauty product testing experience, she always knows what to recommend.

Let's be honest, seeing that red percentage discount is enough to sway most of us but when it comes to sales events, sometimes its not always about how much money you're saving and instead about the quality of the product you’re investing in. Whether you're saving £5 or £50, every penny counts - especially once you’ve popped all your regular essentials into your basket, the savings are sure to add up. As for making the most of deals, it's wise to add up how much your go-to beauty products usually set you back to see whether you’re actually bagging yourself a good deal, before you hit purchase.

While beauty sales only happen on the rare occasion, when they do you can expect to see some significant savings. That said, if you've eyed up a decent discount, don't spend too long toying with they idea as they disappear quickly. For any savvy shoppers that are after some beauty bargains, be sure to bookmark this guide as we'll be keeping you updated with the very best deals on offer...
