I'm a beauty editor and these are the only products I ever buy in the Amazon Prime Day sale
With unmissable savings on ghd, Olaplex and Color Wow, these are the beauty buys I'm snapping up this Amazon Prime Day...


It's officially Amazon Prime Day and, for me, that means a chance to stock up on all my beauty essentials that I use throughout the year.
While I find the best Amazon Prime Day deals tend to be on home and health products, there is usually a really good selection of stellar beauty products on offer too, from Dyson hair dryer and Shark hair dryer deals to ghd deals and Elemis deals. And with the event taking place across this week, from Tuesday 8th until Friday 11th, there are plenty of opportunities to snap up a saving.
To cut through the noise, I'm sharing the few beauty products that I always wait to buy on Amazon Prime Day, from my everyday skincare essentials to the best sunscreens to take on holiday.

Prime Day skincare deals
Arriving just in time for the change of seasons, why not treat your skin to some extra TLC with hydrating skincare staples from the likes of Garnier, Elizabeth Arden and CeraVe?
A hydration-boosting cleanser I use everyday, this cult product is an absolute bargain at the best of times. It contains three essential ceramides, which are the key to protecting your skin's natural barrier and locking in 24 hour moisture.
Everyone loves the iconic Eight Hour Cream and I am definitely among the fandom. My go-to lip balm for finishing off my skincare routine each morning and evening, it really creates a nourished base for lips, keeping them soft and healthy.
While I prefer a more potent cleaning balm or oil for removing makeup and buildup at the end of the day, this micellar water is super helpful for those days when I'm wearing a lot of makeup and want to do a preliminary cleanse.
This brightening serum comes equipped with vitamin C and glycolic serum to help improve hyperpigmentation and even skin tone for vibrant, healthier-looking skin.
I'm fussy about my hydrating serums, but this is one of the best hyaluronic acid serums out there, boasting a lightweight, non-sticky texture that soaks into skin fast and layers seamlessly.
My skin eats up hyaluronic acid serum, especially when the weather is hot or the air is on the drier side, so having an affordable option like this Garnier staple is really important for me. Lightweight and easy to layer, I'll be stocking up on this while it's at such a low price.
Prime Day bodycare deals
Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on essential daily spf products or maybe try out a new tanning option. These are the true bargains that you certainly don't want to miss...

I was always wary of "proper", non-gradual self tan, but when I tried this, it fast became a summer staple. A velvety texture that is easy to spread around and has a guide colour to help prevent any mistakes, this develops quickly and gives me a lasting, natural-looking glow.
When I head away on holiday, this is the only sunscreen I take with me, so I was so happy to see such a big discount on it. It boasts a lovely, satiny texture that spreads around skin easily and feels refreshing, hydrating and lightweight during wear.
I've tried most of Gillette's Venus razors, but this one is definitely my favourite. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to grooming so anything that makes it easier is a win for me, hence why I love the moisturising bars along the sides that mean I don't have to crack out the shaving gel and can just go straight in. It's also light and comfortable to hold and gives a close shave that preps my skin perfectly for using my best IPL hair removal machine.
Prime Day makeup deals
Restock your makeup bag with some must-have discounts on trusted cult classic products...
I rebuy these on every Amazon Prime Day. The perfect texture, this medium firmness sponge sets my makeup everyday, reducing surplus oiliness and preventing makeup from caking.
A cult product that makeup wearers have loved for years, I find it especially useful during the summer months when makeup tends to melt off in the heat.
Loved for its gripping, smoothing and moisturising abilities, e.l.f's Power Grip Primer is a must-have in your beauty bag if you struggle to keep your makeup in place all day.
Prime Day haircare deals
Prime Day is one of the best opportunities for snapping up premium haircare without paying their hefty price tags, with unmissable deals on some of my favourite brands, including Olaplex and Kerastase.
Probably one of my favourite hair oils, I use this almost daily. Great for adding a bit of shine straight out of the shower, this cult product is also fantastic at nourishing dry ends between washes.
I was dubious about this on first use, but the lightweight and easy-to-use mist is truly the only hair product I've found that makes me feel like I've just walked out of the salon. Creating a shiny, choppy, bouncy and light-as-a-feather finish, it's a fortnightly must for me.
Any chance to score an Olaplex treatment for less is not to be missed, especially if you use the cult classic products regularly in your routine. This popular treatment is a must for when my hair is feeling dry, dull and limp.
Prime Day hair tool deals
Making home to some of the best hair straighteners and ghd's highly sought-after hair dryer, make some serious savings on some of the top hair tools currently available on the market from top-rated brands...
I use the famed Dyson Airwrap every single day, so any time it comes on sale I tell everyone to buy it. Amazing for creating an easy at-home blow-dry, it gives a salon-worthy look every time.
This is another tool that I use most days. I've tried all of the best ghd straighteners but this one clinches for me thanks to its wide sturdy plates, rounded edges and smart technology that creates a glossy finish.
I don't often use a hairdryer, as I tend to stick to the Dyson Airwrap, but when I do use one this is the one I reach for. One of the best hair dryers I've ever tested, it boasts a powerful motor and precision airflow that lets you create shiny and defined styles.

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.
