It's (Amazon) Prime Time - Again!
Shopping beauty items? These are the deals worth taking advantage of.
Hi friends!
I’m interrupting my (ir)regularly scheduled newsletter with Beyond My Byline’s second Amazon Prime Day(s) post.
The autumn edition of the retail holiday begins October 11th and spans through October 12th. In other words, the day on which you receive this email will be Prime Day.
In case you’re new around here, a significant part of my job involves testing and reviewing products - many, many products.
I started my career as the very first beauty editor for Hearst’s BestProducts.com and have since dipped my toes in every vertical from fitness to food to fashion. I’ve not only grown as a writer in the past eight years but also as a much smarter buyer. That said, I’m especially well-versed in the beauty sphere, so if you’re considering taking advantage of Prime Day discounts on skincare, makeup, and the like, I’d like to offer a few suggestions!
Ahead, I’ve curated a bite-size list of Fall Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals and sales, calling out some of the products I’ve generously been sent and have become obsessed with over the years.
***PLEASE NOTE: I am not sponsored, nor am I affiliated with any of these brands. I was gifted samples for review, and genuinely love/use/would buy them myself.
With that said, here are the items I would recommend adding to your cart while the discounts last.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
30% off
The Brow Wiz is a best-seller for a reason. The dual-ended tool features a retractable pencil formula to fill in arches and a spoolie brush to tame unruly hairs. It comes in 12 color options, from Blonde to Strawburn (not a typo - that’s an actual color name), so matching is made easy.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick
30% off
I realize lip gloss is having a moment right now (I’m hoarding a few tubes of the stuff myself), but liquid lipstick will always have my heart. The brand launched its first liquid lip collection back in 2015, but the mattifying formula still holds up. It’s smudge-proof, long-wearing, and comes in over 15 colors to choose from. Vintage is a personal favorite (I was very into plum hues way back when), but these days, I’d probably go for something more neutral, like Stripped, Crush, or Kathryn.
JLo Beauty That JLo Glow Serum
25% off
I tested the entire JLo Beauty collection for INSIDER when the multi-hyphenate first launched her skincare brand. This is her hero product, and it took two years and over 20 formulations to perfect. The time was well spent; I found the formula to make good on its promise to tighten skin and enhance the complexion’s natural glow.
Elizabeth Arden White Tea Two-Piece Set
15% off
Elizabeth Arden just exudes luxury. I love this two-piece White Tea set that includes an Eau de Toilette Spray, as well as Indulgence Body Cream. If you’re stuck on what to get your mom, mother-in-law, or aunt for the holidays, this aromatic duo is worth considering.
Maybelline New York Great Lash Washable Mascara
15% off
It’s the iconic electric pink and lime green packaging for me. The fan-favorite mascara is on sale and is a two-for-one special. If you need to restock your stash, now is the time.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
30% off
I will never not recommend the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask. If you saw my last Prime Day post and considered treating yourself to this indulgent lip treatment, but for whatever reason either didn’t take advantage of the deal or missed the deadline, consider this a do-over and do it. I promise you will not be disappointed by the delicious results (aka happy, hydrated lips).
Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil
30% off
I am a big fan of cleansers. I double cleanse every morning and every evening, and new formulas are one of my favorite beauty products to trial. Among my favorites is this gentle solution from Sulwhasoo. It’s an especially great pick for those with dry skin types, and anyone who experiences dryness in the cold weather seasons. Yes, it’s an oil, but it doesn’t leave your complexion riddled with greasy residue. It’s light, yet strong enough to wash off stubborn makeup, and leaves skin feeling fresh.
Innisfree Daily UV Defense Sunscreen - SPF 36
30% off
I am obsessed with this daily sunscreen from Innisfree. It sits beautifully on the skin and makes for a great makeup primer. I liked it in the summer, but I’ve been loving it even more in the cooler weather as I think it offers the perfect amount of protection against the little sun I’ll be soaking up indoors.
AMORE PACIFIC Time Response Eye Reserve Cream
30% off
If you’re going to splurge on anything in the beauty space this Fall Amazon Prime Day, let it be something from Amore Pacific. The brand is super pricey, I know, but you get what you pay for, and then some.
Beautyblender Pop Makeup Sponge
25% off
I go back and forth between using an applicator sponge and a brush, but if I’m reaching for the former, it’s this award-winning tool from Beautyblender. I won’t judge if you decide you need to buy two or five. They come in so many fun colors, why not collect them all?
Living Proof Jumbo Dry Shampoo
30% off
I could wax poetic about how much I love Living Proof, but I’ll spare you the novel. All you have to know is that I have tested dozens of dry shampoos in the past (almost) decade, and Living Proof always comes out on top. It smells amazing and makes my hair, which is visibly oily by day two, look and feel fresh. Trust me, you’ll want this jumbo bottle under your bathroom sink at all times once you give it a try.
