When it comes to shopping, you can consider us experts. From a great bargain to a new drop, we consider deal-hunting the most important part of our jobs. That’s why we’re always there when deals drop, especially on Amazon. So, when the retailer announced the return of their fall Prime Big Deal Days, we practically dropped everything to scope out the news. The sales event is coming back next month but we have already found great deals on a variety of products.
Luckily for you, we have gone through all the early beauty deals to bring you the most noteworthy ones we could find. From Beauty Awards winners to daily essentials, there’s something for every beauty lover below.
Early Amazon Prime Day Beauty Awards winners on sale
This (now $10!) drugstore favorite was named best vitamin C serum during our 2026 Beauty Awards. Social media video producer Anita Chomenko says she is a big fan of the formula’s lightweight feel, sharing that it “blended and absorbed easily and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy.”
After a summer of beach visits and dips in the pool, your hair could probably use a reset. This clarifying shampoo can help clear it of buildup and chlorine that may have accumulated over the warmer months!
I [Moon] love the formula of this cleansing shampoo; it is now a staple in my shower routine. While past clarifying shampoos have been lackluster, this one checks every box I have for a clarifying shampoo for me.
If you’ve been looking for a neck-firming cream, this award-winning product is our pick. It promises to firm, lift and tighten without the hefty price tag.
“I love how easy this heated brush is to use and how quickly it heats up,” boasts associate social media editor Dani Musacchio. “I was worried that this product would make my hair shed a ton, but I actually didn’t notice much fallout while using it ... I have pin-straight hair, so I love how this product gave my hair a little more bounce.”
“I was pleasantly surprised that this sunscreen managed to balance the line between leaving no white cast, being hydrating and being lightweight,” says associate editor Kamari Stewart-Jackson of this sunscreen. It’s a great find for those wanting a glowy look, SPF and a lightweight finish.
Not only is this curler an award winner, but it’s also a Ranked favorite of writer Danielle Murphy. She praises it as being the most curl-defining and notes that “using a Hot Tools curler is a guaranteed way to have a good hair day.”
Early Amazon Prime Day hair care deals
Looking to improve your hairline? Experts we’ve spoken to have previously told us that rosemary is a potent ingredient for hair growth while being gentle on the scalp. This viral product has been praised by tens of thousands of people for the way it has helped improve the appearance of hair loss.
Made without sulfates, phosphates or parabens, this shampoo is great for those with normal to dry hair. It is also powered by antioxidant-rich Argan oil, as well as vitamins A and E.
Early Amazon Prime Day skin care deals
Multiple Shop TODAY editors love CosRX for its innovative skin care and gentle formulas that deliver results. This snail mucin-powered serum is lightweight, moisturizing and according to an expert we previously spoke to, it’s “great for moisturizing and healing.”
Medicube is a viral Korean beauty brand that shows no signs of slowing down. And we can see why! The brand utilizes powerhouse ingredients that can address daily concerns in a gentle way. According to the brand, this cleanser is dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types.
While we love to use a sale event to pick up a pricey find, picking up a trusted essential is always on the list. This healing ointment is expert-approved and is said to help soothe dry, cracked skin, cuts, burns and more.
Early Amazon Prime Day makeup deals
One editor was recently on a mission to find the perfect waterproof mascara and this one was a favorite for being the most long-lasting. Associate market editor Audrey Ekman says that it is worth every penny and “If you want maximum amplification of your lashes, this is the one I’d recommend.”
Even though summer is over, we know that our busy schedules will keep the feeling like our makeup is about to sweat off any second. With this three-second setting spray, you can keep your makeup looking fresh and in place for up to 36 hours of wear.
Whether you’re always on the go or have a trip coming up, if you love to do your makeup but don’t want to carry around a whole makeup bag, this compact set of brushes can save the day. The case has a mirror and LED lights so you can get ready anywhere.
Early Amazon Prime Day beauty tool deals
This award-winning brand has made a handful of our favorite tools, so seeing this flatiron on deal is reason enough to pick it up. What’s also great about it is that it has ceramic floating plates to deliver even heat and easy styling.
When you can’t go to get a salon blowout, this dryer brush from Drybar can help deliver salon-worthy results at home.
Writer Danielle Muprhy gushes that this blow-dry brush is best for strong hair tension, adding that, “I’m not sure if it’s the placement of the bristles or how they are constructed, but this tool grabs a strong hold of every piece of hair with each pass, never snagging, ripping or over-pulling.”
So, if you’re over the overly complicated hair tools with too many settings and a lot of attachments, this is the no-muss, no-fuss solution, since it only has three heat settings.
