Amazon has always been a one-stop shop, no matter what item you are searching for.
Need a new good read for your next trip? Check. A new laptop? Check. A supply of nappies? An upgrade to your time-old TV? Layers to withstand the British winter? Check. Check. Check.
The same runs true for beauty products. Amazon has long played host to big-name brands like ghd, Pureology, FOREO, Elemis and more, but never has it had such an expansive offering of items to fill your bathroom cabinet.
In September 2022, Amazon unveiled its Luxury Stores in the UK that brought alongside it high-end skincare favourites to the site, including the likes of Dr Barbara Sturm.
It’s not just skincare. The number of labels is seemingly endless and covers the spectrum of hair, makeup, fragrance and tools. The latter of which includes gadgets and gizmos like electric toothbrushes, hair dyers (hello Dyson!), and even hair removal like at-home IPL machines from Braun and Philips.
You will also be able to find all this and more at a fraction of the cost as part of the Amazon Prime Day sales.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
A sale that traditionally took place once a year, Prime Day was Amazon’s answer to Black Friday earlier in the year. It originally was held in July but grew into a double feature in 2022 in both July and October. For 2023, there’s triple the fun with an additional sale having taken place in March.
What is the difference between Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Big Deal Days?
The Amazon Big Deal Days may differ in name to Prime Day but in terms of your ability to maximise epic reductions across a whole host of products, there is not much difference between the two events.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon has now confirmed that the event will take place on October 10 and 11.
How to take part in Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

What kind of beauty deals can we expect?
The most popular discounts on Prime Day tend to fall on items at the once pricier end of the spectrum. We’re talking ghd styling tools, Oral-B toothbrushes with reductions that will have you blinking twice and the cult Philips Lumea IPL device. Look also to Murad, Perricone MD, Elemis, Living Proof, Viviscal, Neal’s Yard, Urban Decay and more.

FOREO Bear Microcurrent Facial Toning Device With 5 Intensities
Innovative Scandinavian label has been putting a hi-tech twist on beauty routines the world over for quite some time with its bestselling LUNA device that is not your average cleansing brush. It uses silicone and sonic to make your products more efficacious (but more on that below).
The BEAR is one of the brand’s newer offerings and has been created specifically for facial toning. Crafted in the FOREO signature silicone, it delivers microcurrent and T-Sonic pulsations that exercise each and every muscle in the face and neck (don’t forget the neck!). Entirely safe and foolproof, the brand opts for a patented Anti-Shock System so you need not fear about any potential mishaps as it will automatically adjust to the area in question through sensors. This provides an entirely pain-free experience and yet you won’t help but notice the visible changes, especially when it comes to areas like the cheekbones.
Connect to the app and you can follow one of the customisable facial workouts for a face PT in your pocket, helping to boost collagen and elastin and tighten skin at the same time by penetrating and stimulating at a cellular level and resulting in a natural toning effect. More than just skin deep, this beauty gadget is able to reach through the skin’s layers in order to encourage better circulation, offer lympathic drainage and ease tensions to leave you with the glowing skin that you deserve.
Plus the battery life is so long-lasting, you can use it over 90 times without needing to rejuice - just remember where you leave the charger. There are no additional attachments but it is best paired with a serum to allow the device to glide along the skin with ease - a mini version of the brand’s SERUM SERUM SERUM is included with this purchase.

Fantasy may have launched more than 15 years ago but it’s still one of the biggest celebrity fragrances worldwide (one bottle is sold every three minutes).
Allow us to explain the hype – lychee, kiwi and cupcake accord (yes, really) blanket the skin in utter sweetness, it lingers for hours and the bottle is embellished with Swarovski crystals. What’s not to love? A good gourmand can be tricky to get right, but Britney has officially mastered the art of heavenly perfume.

Sage, green tea and jojoba form the basis of the formula that is nourishing and protective. These nourishing powerhouses are combined with the brand’s patented Antifade complex that should buy you some time between salon appointments and prevent further environmental aggressors from affecting your hair.
