17 Amazon Beauty items Worth Buying (Especially While They’re On Sale)
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner, and the holidays are following close behind. That’s right, folks—we’re sitting squarely in peak shopping season. While there are so many good beauty sales to shop, I don’t like getting lost in the hype, buying items I don’t need, and spending money I shouldn’t have…just because everything is discounted. After all, there’s nothing worse than taking a chance on a sale product only to discover that you’ve wasted your time and money on a subpar product.
That’s why, this year, I’m focusing my efforts on purchasing tried-and-true beauty products. I’m talking about the ones that are so good, I buy them all year long at full price. In other words, I’m not buying them because they’re on sale, but because I really, truly, honestly love them…and they just so happen to be on sale. Catch my drift? Ahead, see the 19 me-approved, currently-on-sale Amazon beauty items I’m buying for Black Friday.
COSRX
Snail Mucin 96% Power Face Serum
Currently 48% off the original full price
ICYMI, snail mucin is a stellar K-beauty ingredient. It contains high amounts of hyaluronic acid and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. That explains why it’s so good at giving me plump, dewy, “glass skin.”
This TikTok-famous product doesn’t disappoint. With 96% snail mucin, it’s chock full of the skin-transforming ingredient. I’m restocking while it’s on sale, because I use this all the time, especially in the colder months to soothe, and hydrate my skin.
Shark
Flexstyle Air Styling & Drying System
Currently 23% off the original full price
I’ve seen the Shark Flexstyle Air Styling & Drying System all over Instagram and TikTok, and for good reason. It dries and styles the hair without excessive heat and subsequent damage. Plus, thanks to powerful airflow, it delivers the big, bouncy blowouts of my dreams. While I already have one, I’m planning on snagging a couple of them while they’re on sale to gift to family and friends.
BIODANCE
Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
Currently 32% off the original full price
Another TikTok-viral product, this overnight hydrogel mask gives me the glowiest, glassiest skin I’ve ever had. It’s all thanks to oligo-hyaluronic acid, ultra-low molecular collagen, galactomyces ferment filtrate, and niacinamide. These ingredients penetrate the skin overnight to moisturize, plump, refine, smooth, and blur the skin. Try it, just once, and tell me you’re not in love!
Lancôme
Lash Idôle Lash-Lifting & Volumizing Mascara
SolaWave
4-In-1 Radiant Renewal Facial Wand
Currently 40% off the original full price
This travel-friendly skin device uses four technologies—red light, galvanic current, facial massage, and therapeutic warmth—to target everything from fine lines and wrinkles to dark spots and blemishes. It even comes with the brand’s Activating Serum which enhances the results of the device and provides a smooth, cushiony glide.
Youth To The People
Kale and Green Tea Cleanser
Currently 20% off the original full price
I’ve been using this cleanser on and off for years. It dissolves dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen like a charm. It also smells nice, foams into a silky lather, and delivers superfoods straight to my skin (kale, green tea, and spinach). It’s like green juice for the face.
Nuxe
Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
Currently 33% off the original full price
This classic French pharmacy product is so good. The multi-purpose dry oil is never heavy or greasy, and it can be used on the face, body, and hair for extra moisture and nourishment. Plus, it smells incredible. When I wear it, I go without perfume—that’s how good it is. While I usually wait to pick this up until I’m in Paris, I have to snag a couple of bottles while it’s on sale.
Currently 45% off the original full price
An ice roller is a quick, easy, and affordable way to reduce puffiness and inflammation in the mornings. Plus, if you’re a night owl like me, it helps wake you up and feel refreshed, even before your first cup of coffee. I highly recommend trying one if you haven’t already.
Currently 20% off the original full price
I know so many die-hard fans of this moisturizer, and I think I’m becoming one of them. I love how lightweight and cooling it feels on my skin. I also love how it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and plump. Oh, did I mention it’s the perfect skin prep for makeup?
Kiehl’s
Ultra Facial Cream
Currently 34% off the original full price
Another moisturizer I love, this one is slightly thicker and richer than the aforementioned Tatcha product. I like to use this one at night to seal in my serum and coat my skin in soothing moisture. It’s been my go-to for over a decade.
Embryolisse
Lait-Crème Concentré
Currently 30% off the original full price
Another classic French pharmacy pick, this 3-in-1 formula works as a moisturizer, mask, and makeup primer. It’s the epitome of French effortlessness.
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Brow Wiz
Currently 30% off the original full price
Everyone’s favorite brow pencil, ABH’s Brow Wiz creates the most precise, natural-looking strokes. Plus, the shades are on point. It’s also long-wearing and smudge-proof.
Starface World
Hydro-Stars Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches
Currently 39% off the original full price
These pimple patches are so cute, I have no shame wearing them in public. The little star-shaped hydrocolloid patches absorb the gunk out of pores, shrink swelling, and reduce redness. To put it simply, they work magic to minimize breakouts.
Coco & Eve
Self Tanner Mousse Kit
Currently 30% off the original full price
I love Coco & Eve’s Self Tanner. It’s a 100% natural DHA formula, and it gives my skin a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow with no orange tones or streaks. I’m stocking up on this before winter, so I don’t have to wait until summer to get my glow back.
GOODAL
Green Tangerine Vitamin C Serum
Currently 30% off the original full price
This is Korea’s best-selling vitamin C serum. It uses a powerful blend of 70% fresh green tangerine extract, 4% niacinamide, and arbutin to brighten the skin and banish dark spots.
Fable & Mane
Holiroots Hair Oil
Currently 25% off the original full price
I’ve been vocal about my love for this hair and scalp oil. It uses Dashmool (an Ayurvedic blend of medicinal herbs), ashwagandha, and castor oil to soothe the scalp, boost circulation, and thicken the appearance of the hair. I keep a bottle of this oil on my vanity at all times, so I’m certainly stocking up while it’s on sale.
Bioderma
Atoderm Cleansing Oil
Currently 24% off the original full price
If you have dry skin, you have to try this shower oil. Yes, it thoroughly cleanses the skin, but beyond that, it makes it feel petal-soft and silky smooth. While other body washes and shower gels tend to dry out the skin, this one boosts hydration and strengthens the moisture barrier. It’s my winter body care hero.
