Here’s what we’re shopping for during Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul

Must read

The jingle bells are ringing (just about), and deals are what Amazon is bringing.

Amazon beauty products are some of our favorites to review, report on and rave about. From salon-quality shampoos to splurge-worthy skincare, our top brands remain sacred — and we’re all about sharing those must-have items worth your hard-earned coin.

Luckily, it’s the fourth annual Holiday Beauty Haul. Courtesy of Amazon, shoppers can take advantage of thousands of curated deals, coupons and gift sets on beauty items from top brands starting on Oct. 21 to Nov. 3. Some tried-and-true names you’ll find on sale include COSRX and Drybar. But, that’s not all.

As a full-time beauty product tester and reporter, I cover thousands of products each year. The bottom line? I can confidently say that this limited-time event has some of the best deals. After years of covering the best in beauty, some of these offers are better than those you’ll find come Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

So, it makes sense to tend to your holiday shopping early. Below, find the best products I recommend adding to your cart before the assembly line of Amazon shoppers comes marching through. Oh, and if you haven’t already signed up for your 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, you should do so to unlock fast, two-day shipping and other perks.
