As a shopping writer, it’s literally my job to scour Amazon for the best deals. It’s also why I absolutely hate paying list price for anything. That’s why I wait for events like Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days to fill my shopping cart. The sale officially begins on Tuesday, October 8th, but you can get a head start thanks to a number of early bird deals.
This year we will focus on beauty. We’ve had our eye on a few new items, but there are also some favorites we’re excited to see back in stock at a fraction of the price. Think lipstick, cleanser, sunscreen, etc. These are the top beauty deals on Amazon that I’m adding to my cart ahead of Prime Day in October.

Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick
Amazon
This is my third time purchasing this iconic lipstick. I’ve been using it for years. When in doubt, I wear this to remove a subtle color. Black Honey is a universal shade and goes well with most of my makeup looks. Even better, it feels like a lip balm and never goes out of style.
Cosrx Snail Mucin Repair Essence
Amazon
I have been curious about this formula as it has been recommended to me by many friends. Cooler weather is my favorite, but it can also wreak havoc on my already dry skin. This essence is packed with ultra-hydrating snail secretion, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin, a combination that helps lock in moisture and leave you glowing. This has been on my wishlist for a while, so now that it’s down to $17 is the perfect time to add it to your cart.
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
Amazon
I can’t go anywhere without this cleansing oil. Honestly, I always have a travel size and a full size of this. I use this as part of my double cleansing routine to break down my makeup and SPF before using any kind of cleanser. Although it is a very mild formula, it is highly effective. With this elixir, you can get rid of huge pore-clogged dirt without trying too hard. So I’m going to stock up on it while it’s on sale.
Cocainade Ceramide Barrier Serum
Amazon
I was late to the Coca-Cinado bandwagon, but better late than never. After listening to a podcast featuring its founder, Priscilla Tsai, I was finally convinced to try it myself. After trying new products, my skin would sometimes become rough and dry. So I was looking for a gentle, soothing formula that would reduce irritation. When I feel like my skin needs a break, this serum is my go-to. It’s hard to believe that such an affordable formula can contain so many nutritional ingredients like squalane, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides.
Olay Super Serum
Amazon
I wrote about my love for this serum, and that love continues to be strong. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this baby. This little bottle is packed with many of my favorite skincare ingredients, including niacinamide, which brightens and strengthens the skin. It applies smoothly and leaves behind a subtle glow, leaving your skin looking healthier.
kitschy satin hair scrunchie
Amazon
Lately, I’ve stopped styling my hair. I’m going to put it in thick braids or a low ponytail, but I swear if you look at my hair the wrong way, you’ll end up with split ends. Just as silk pillowcases are gentle on your hair, so are satin scrunchies. These hold my action in place, but I don’t have to struggle or tug to untie my mane. The only downside is that I always lose it. Now that I have the last two, it’s time to pick up a new pack.
loreal paris color rich satin lipstick
Amazon
The satin finish of L’Oréal’s Color Rich line sits right between gloss and matte, with wearable iridescent opaque colors that feel comfortable on dry lips. So this is probably my favorite drugstore lipstick formula when I want to try a really new shade, like this medium berry for example. This collection is my first stop and I’m going to pick up some other beautiful shades for $5.
Physician’s Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer
Amazon
I have a lot of designer and high-end bronzers in my collection, but I need to restock my go-to Physician’s F1. When I can’t decide between contour or bronzer, I always choose this one. It’s a very sweet scent, but what I love most about this iconic bestseller is its color and satin finish.
Grace & Stella Under Eye Mask
Amazon
Until I got Grace & Stella’s Gold Formula, I never thought I’d ever actually finish a pack of eye masks. While we’d like to attribute this success to magic, the combination of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, seaweed, and amino acids is the key to smoothness and hydration. It comes in small individual packaging, making it perfect for traveling.
Bliss Block Star Tinted Sunscreen
Amazon
This SPF is not only pleasant on the skin without leaving a white cast, but it is also rich in skin care ingredients such as Rosaconina fruit oil and antioxidants. This does not feel sticky or heavy. I just finished a tube and am putting it on my restock list right away.
