It’s September, the weather is turning cooler, everyone is fully immersed in back to school mode, and that means one thing - Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are nearly here! You might be more familiar with the sale event’s ‘big sister’, Amazon Prime Day, but when it comes to savings, the concept is pretty much the same. Held in October, it’s still one of Amazon’s biggest sales of the year, where you can find the best deals from the UK’s biggest marketplace (with some pretty impressive discounts expected to come through this year).
If you’re anything like me you’re probably counting down to exactly this moment to snap up some new beauty products. Whether you want to take advantage of the savings to stock up on your favourite mascara, SPF moisturiser and purple shampoo or you're keen to try that pricey product that you’ve had your eye on for a while if it'll be discounted, Amazon is set to be a treasure trove of beauty deals very soon.
While the best deals are yet to come, there are already some impressive ones rolling in, so I've rounded up the early deals for you to shop below (alongside some products I have all my fingers and toes crossed will be in the sale come October).
I'm on the site all day and will be keeping this article updated constantly because I don’t want to miss any of the best beauty deals. So I’ve scoured through the site to find the best beauty products which come MC UK-approved - keep scrolling to shop them for yourself.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
We've finally had word that the sale event will take place on the 8th and 9th of October! So if you've been meaning to stock up on your favourite beauty products, now is the time.
To take advantage of the deals you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member - if you’re not signed up yet you can get a free trial right here.
What are the best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days beauty deals?
As a junior shopping editor, I scroll past a lot of products on a daily basis. It’s literally my job to scour through the best beauty sites for a living, so I know a thing or two when it comes to finding a great deal. Contrary to what you might think, it’s not just about finding the biggest percentage discount, or even the lowest price!
When shopping the sales it’s important to think about which beauty buys you’ll actually get the most use out of, so I’ve collated a list of the beauty products that I genuinely would buy, whether they're full price or - even better - discounted.
The best Amazon beauty products to shop
PSA: Maybelline's TikTok-viral Lash Sensational mascara is discounted already. If it's good enough for countless celeb fans, it's good enough for me - especially at 32% off.
Save 25% on the concealer that people are still raving about years on (I've used it since I was a teen and still love it for its crease-resistant, brightening effect!).
Reviewers swear by COSRX's viral essence for smoother, glowing skin. So if you've been wondering whether to pick it up then now is the best time.
OLAPLEX's No.3 Hair Perfector is a cult-status product, so I'm always incredibly excited when I see it's been discounted. This 22% reduction has me clicking 'add to basket' more times than I care to admit.
I don't know about you, but treasure my ghd straighteners. If yours are looking a little tired or you just want to treat somebody who has always wanted a set, it's worth checking back to see if they'll be discounted in the sale.
The entire MCUK beauty team is obsessed with this purple shampoo (and we've tried a fair few formulas). While it's not the most affordable option out there, the results speak for themselves so it's definitely worth trying out now that it's discounted.
And if you're after a purple shampoo for under £10, Fudge Professional's highly-rated shampoo is reduced by 29% right now
If you're been looking for a new collagen supplement to try, Wellgard's option comes in super highly rated and is 26% off right now.
IPL hair removal devices can set you back a pretty penny - so it's a good thing that this Braun one is reduced by 30% ATM.
CeraVe's moisturising lotion is a bestseller for a reason - it'll keep your skin feeling nourished (essential as we move into the colder seasons ahead). It's already a bargain, but I'll be keeping an eye out for further discounts.
Speaking of nourishing products, L'Occitane's almond shower oil is my secret to keeping my skin soft and hydrated in the winter. If your skin feels dry and stretched the second you towel off post-shower, that will no longer be a problem.
Treat yourself to these satin pillowcases while they're reduced. Not only will they make your bed feel far more luxurious, they'll also reduce friction with your hair and skin, helping to prevent breakage and dryness.
Looking for a new hair dryer? Not only is this BaByliss Super Power one almost half price right now, it also works to tame flyaways and dries your hair incredibly fast.
Elemis' Pro-collagen Marine cream is iconic for a reason! It's a good idea to stock up while it's 25% off.
There's an impressive 63% off the Murad Resurgence Retinol Youth Renewal Serum right now, which targets fine lines and dark spots. It's a huge bestseller even when it's not on sale.
If you've been looking for a good IPL hair removal device, you'll be thrilled to learn you can save 23% on this Philips Lumea model right now.
I've tried a LOT of dry shampoos in my time, and my favourite by far has to be the Moroccanoil Light Tones option. It doesn't leave a grey cast on my light brown hair, smells gorgeous and makes my hair feel genuinely clean, not just powdery. I'll be keeping an eye out to see if it's discounted.
If you're a fan of the COSRX snail mucin essence above, you'll probably have heard of the all-in-one face cream too. They're both equally stock-up worthy now they're massively discounted.
If your ultimate goal is the regular maintenance of your hair, Olaplex's bond-building shampoo is the answer. It's on the pricier side for shampoo, but reviewers swear by it for repairing extreme damage, so if you've had your eye on it for a while then now's the time to invest!
Elizabeth Arden's Retinol Ceramide capsules are perfect for travelling, will look gorgeous on your dressing table and are currently half their original price!
