I shop online for a living so trust me - you don't want to miss these beauty discounts in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days (which ends tonight)
All the best bargain beauty buys in one place


It’s Wednesday 9th October and that means one thing - Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are nearly over! 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. It’s one of Amazon’s biggest sales of the year, where you can find the best deals from the UK’s biggest marketplace (with discounts of up to 60%). Of course we’ve rounded up our top picks from the limited-time sales for you, and that starts with the best beauty deals. FYI - the deals are only on until midnight tonight, so I'd be quick about buying anything you have your eye on.
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 you’ve had your eye on for a while if it'll be discounted, Amazon is a treasure trove of beauty deals right now.
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.

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 currently on sale that I genuinely would have bought at full price. Keep scrolling to find our top beauty deal picks.
The best Amazon beauty products to shop
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.
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!
Essie excels in neutral nail polish shades, and Ballet Slippers is no exception. Did somebody say BB cream nails?
We can't get enough of the TikTok-viral Wonderskin lip stain - and it's currently discounted in the sale! Satisfying application process and long-lasting colour? Yes please.
We've dubbed these some of the best hair straighteners around, so the fact that they're discounted is just a bonus, really.
Treat yourself to this Slip silk pillowcase while it's reduced. Not only will it make your bed feel far more luxurious, it'll also reduce friction with your hair and skin, helping to prevent breakage and dryness. It's one of team MCUK's top silk pillowcase picks.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
It’s on right now (and ends tonight)! Previously known as Amazon Prime Day, the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event is running from Tuesday 8th October to midnight on Wednesday 9th 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.
