Amazon’s Early October Prime Day Beauty Deals Start at Just $3

Amazon October Prime Day is still a week away, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of incredible early deals available to shop now. Besides being a one-stop shop for chic, affordable fall fashion, the mega-retailer is also a top destination for reasonably-priced makeup, skincare, and hair products. In fact, during major sales events like October Prime Day, you can score tons of beauty essentials for as little as $3. 

Since Amazon can get overwhelming fast, I’m making it easier than ever for you to update your beauty stash for fall without needing to splurge or spend hours scrolling. Below, I rounded up the best early deals across Amazon’s makeup, skincare, and hair departments, including viral and best-selling picks from L’Oréal, Maybelline, CeraVe, and more.

When it’s time to restock my makeup bag, Amazon is my first (and often only) stop for budget-friendly finds. During Prime Big Deal Days, makeup must-haves are even more affordable, with all of my picks coming in at less than $15. First, upgrade your base makeup with the customer-favorite Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer, a creamy full-coverage formula with more than 100,000 five-star ratings. 

Next, my favorite mascara from L’Oréal is on sale for less than $15, but don’t let the low price point fool you—this volumizing mascara out-performs luxe competitors. For the best early makeup deal, look no further than this 50%-off metallic liquid eyeshadow from E.l.f. Cosmetics. At just $3, it’s the perfect shimmery shade for Halloween or holiday makeup looks.

Step up your brow game this fall with the best-selling brow pencil that more than 10,000 Amazon shoppers have bought in the past month. The deep brown Espresso shade is on sale for less than $10. Or, if you’re in the market for a new blush, you’ll adore the soft, blendable rosy glow this Physician’s Formula option delivers. (It also gets points for the adorable strawberry design.) Rounding out my makeup picks is a $9 longwear liquid lipstick with beautiful budge-proof color that stands up to drinking, eating, and even kissing.

Combat winter dryness with a daily moisturizer like the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. On sale for just $15, this SPF-infused face cream is the number one best-selling facial sunscreen on Amazon. If you’re looking for a more lightweight option, snag the viral Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream while it’s 42% off. Additionally, keeping the skin on the rest of your body moisturized should also be a priority as the weather gets colder and drier, which is why I’m shopping the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Daily Repair Moisturizing Lotion.

Looking to add a serum to your skincare routine? Try the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Besides the 6000-plus five-star ratings, rave reviews attest to how soft and supple it leaves your skin. Another great serum deal is the CosRx Snail Mucin Serum, marked down to $15 from the original price of $25. Not only is this viral glowy serum the number one best-seller on Amazon, but Emily Ratajkowski is also a fan. 

Finally, treat yourself to some self-care with these energizing, de-puffing under-eye masks. Pro tip: They make a great stocking stuffer if you’re looking to get a jump on your holiday shopping.

Thanks to Amazon, you can give your hair salon-worthy treatment without breaking the bank. For example, at just $10, this L’Oréal Paris bond repair mask strengthens your hair and repairs damage for silky-smooth strands. You can also take advantage of Prime Day deals to try out new hair and scalp oils at lower prices, such as the Kitsch Rosemary Strengthening Hair & Scalp Oil or the OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco. The latter is on sale for just $5 with a coupon and gives your hair an intoxicating fresh citrus scent.

If you experience dandruff and you haven’t tried Nizoral’s Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, now is the prime (pun intended) opportunity. On sale for nearly half off, this clinically proven formula is best-selling shampoo on Amazon and has more than 73,000 five-star customer ratings. One reviewer called it a “lifesaver,” writing, “After just a few uses, I noticed a significant reduction in flakiness and itching.” In addition to hair care products, expand your styling repertoire with heat tools like the Beachwaver Rotating Curling Iron and a hair wax stick that 90,000 people have bought recently.
