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
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 54% off.
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, I just thought you'd like to know that they're currently 31% off 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.
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!
Elemis' Pro-collagen Marine cream is iconic for a reason! It's a good idea to stock up while it's 20% off.
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.
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 it's even more so now it's discounted.
If you've been looking for a good IPL hair removal device, you'll be thrilled to learn you can save 29% on this Philips Lumea model right now.
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.
Elizabeth Arden's Iconic Eight Hour cream is a bestseller for a reason - if you've yet to try it (or want to stock up) it's currently better than half price.
Essie excels in neutral nail polish shades, and Ballet Slippers is no exception. Did somebody say BB cream nails?
I have it on good authority that this discounted CeraVe moisturiser is selling fast.
Our Senior Beauty Editor Katie swears by this Medik8 night serum, so naturally I'm picking it up while it's reduced.
I just thought you'd like to know that the L'Oréal Paris 2.5% Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine Eye Serum is reduced by an impressive 63% right now.
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.
The CurrentBody LED Kit doesn't come cheap, so when it's discounted by 15% (like it is right now) you'll be making a huge saving.
This soothing Neom body wash has been my go-to choice for winding down in the evening with a relaxing shower. If you don't have a bath like me, this is the next best thing.
I love to follow up with ESPA's Restorative body oil for an extra relaxing effect. It's currently reduced by 52%!
Weleda's Skin Food is a staple in my body care routine, so you can bet I'm stocking up.
The Shark SmoothStyle hot brush gives me lifted roots and smooth lengths - and it's 42% off!
We've dubbed these some of the best hair straighteners around, so the fact that they're discounted is just a bonus, really.
I use this leave-in conditioner all. The. Time. There are some great discounts on Ouai right now, and this is included.
Keen to try out the benefits of prickly pear extract for your hair? I'd highly recommend this hair mask.
Nothing makes me happier than when one of my go-to beauty products is discounted, and this luxurious cleansing balm is almost half price.
And the same goes for this Kate Somerville Goat Milk cleanser which I love for a second cleanse.
There's 30% off the entire Aestura range for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days - including the bestselling Atobarrier365 cream.
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.
And if you're after a purple shampoo for even less, Fudge Professional's highly-rated shampoo is reduced by 23% right now
If you're been looking for a new collagen supplement to try, Wellgard's option comes in super highly rated and is 37% 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.
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.
There's an impressive 29% 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'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.
Elizabeth Arden's Retinol Ceramide capsules are perfect for travelling, will look gorgeous on your dressing table and are currently half their original price!
