We’re nearing the halfway point of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and we’ve been scouring the literal millions of deals around the clock since the sale kicked off early this morning. Right now, there are major savings to be scored on everything from tech upgrades and home finds to fall fashion and beauty staples.
Shop TODAY executive editor Adrianna Brach stopped by Studio 1A to walk us through some of the best deals we’re seeing for Amazon October Prime Day. Our picks include award-winning items, editor-tested products and more, with prices as low as $1. But, because the biggest discounts tend to sell out quickly during Amazon’s sale events, you’re going to want to act fast if you see something you want to buy.
Below, find our expert curation of October Prime Day deals, including products from Apple, Shark, Medicube, Ugg, JBL and more.
Amazon October Prime Day Deals seen on TODAY
“It’s the perfect transitional layer because it’s lightweight enough for those warmer fall afternoons but still cozy... It comes in 16 colors, it’s super soft and it has pockets, which is always a win.” Brach notes. “The fit is oversized, so I’d size down for a more polished everyday look or stay true to size if you want that slouchier duster feel.”
Simplify your makeup routine with these Laura Geller favorites. You can score up to 46% off the brand’s favorites, including the Quench-n-Tint, which Brach calls “an easy everyday base for when you want hydration and a little coverage without doing a full face.”
For those who prefer a powder foundation to a liquid formula, Laura Geller has a couple standouts on sale right now. These bestselling products are the Balance-n-Brighten, which is great for buildable coverage and boasts more than 70,000 ratings, and the Balance-n-Glow, which is a touch more luminous in finish and gievs skin a more radiant appearance.
This is one of the few times of year you can stock up on luxury skin care, like this pick from Sunday Riley, at a steep discount. The brand’s Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment is a sensitive skin-friendly formulation that exfoliates to help reveal a brighter, more even complexion, making it a great option to incorporate into your skin care routine heading into fall.
This steam mop, an updated version of a Shop TODAY Ranked favorite, can tackle stuck-on messes and grime on sealed hard floors. Brach loves that the microfiber pads are washable and reusable, which means you’re not constantly buying disposable ones.
“Instead of spending a ton on leggings, you can grab an everyday pair while they’re marked down and actually get a ton of wear out of them,” Brach says. “It’s my throw-on-and-go fall uniform with an oversized sweater, cardigan or quarter-zip.”
