IDK about you, but getting beauty products, tools, and skincare on sale just makes my heart ~sing.~ And if you get me talking about Amazon Prime Day, aka one of my favorite shopping times of the year, prepare to be here awhile. As a reminder, Amazon’s two-day shopping extravaganza happens only once a year, and the beauty deals for 2022 are absolutely 🔥. Like, when it comes to Prime Day, you can get 20, 30, sometimes even 40 percent off hair dryers, makeup remover, dry shampoo, travel makeup bags—you name it. And for someone like me, whose job it is to be obsessed with beauty, these sales and discounts are everything.

Because I’m a Prime Day fiend, I’ve gathered all the ~very important~ information on Amazon Prime Day 2022, like when Prime Day is this year, what the best beauty deals and sales are, and what discounted Prime Day beauty products to look out for (brb, starting a Prime Day savings fund).

It's official: Amazon Prime Day 2022 will be July 12 and 13. Sales will drop on July 12 at 3 a.m. EDT and go through the 13th. Since items sell out fast (seriously), don’t wait around if you know there are products you want, or they’ll likely already be out of stock. The good news? There will be new sales dropping constantly throughout the two-day event (and if you have an Amazon Alexa, you can tell your device to remind you when Prime Day starts—nbd), and there are some early beauty deals you can already shop now, which we rounded up below, obvs.

Just remember that you have to be a Prime member to shop all the deals, so sign up for an Amazon Prime membership beforehand to shop right when the sale starts on the 12th (don’t worry—Amazon offers free 30-day trials and a free six-month trial for students if you have ~commitment issues~).

Plus, Amazon won’t be the only one getting in on the deals, as competitors like Sephora and Ulta often run their own beauty sales those same two days, so you’ll have the chance to stock up on tons of beauty products at major discounts all at once. Is this what nirvana feels like?

This year’s Amazon Prime Day 2022 beauty deals are still under wraps (Amazon is v secretive about the whole thing), so you’ll have to wait a bit to know the biggest beauty brands and products that’ll be on sale during the two-day event. You can look forward to major discounts on makeup, hair tools, skincare, makeup brushes, etc. However, if you’re impatient, Amazon has already dropped a few early deals, and of course, I rounded them up for you:

If your summer 2022 is already ~filled~ with travel (okay, jetsetter), you need this spacious makeup bag that’s already 24 percent off for Amazon Prime Day. Not only will it hold all your makeup products (including a few slots to store your brushes), but it’s also lined with plastic for easy cleaning, and comes in five cute colors to choose from (I’m partial to sage, but there’s a classic black and gray option too).

I ordered my Revlon blow-dryer brush during Amazon Prime Day a few years ago, and I’ve never looked back. This brush gives my fine, flat hair a voluminous blowout in just a few minutes without any finagling (why is it so hard to hold a brush and blow dryer at the same time?). If you’ve been holding off on finally testing one out, please grab it now while it’s 30 percent off—and still in stock.

I get to try a lot of beauty products through my job, but I legit always have this salicylic acid cleanser in my bathroom, since it’s one of the few sudsy cleansers that breaks down oil and grime without making my skin feel dry. Not only is it v affordable at its normal price (ahem, it’s 21 percent off right now), but it’ll also get to your house in two days with free Prime shipping.

If you’re not using magnetic lashes yet, WYD? This kit comes with 10 different pairs of magnetized lashes (a mix of natural and ~soft~, along with dramatic and voluminous), two tubes of magnetic eyeliner to help you adhere the lashes to your eyes, and even a pair of lash tweezers to make application even easier. Will be ordering myself a pack (or two), because why would I ever mess with eyelash glue again if I don’t have to?

Microcurrent facials have been around for the ~elite~ for quite a while to make your face look a lil lifted, but NuFace found a way to get the same results over time at home for a fraction of the price. It stimulates blood flow and muscle contractions, making your face look a bit “toned” over time (like pilates for your skin). This set includes an attachment to get into fine lines and wrinkles and around the eyes too. So now that it’s on sale for 25 percent off for Prime Day, I suggest you run.

If you’re wondering what I’m ordering for Prime Day, it’s this epilator at 26 percent off rn. Epilating is one of the most underrated ways to remove hair because it grabs even the tiniest, lil baby hairs that at-home waxing or shaving can’t get (think of it like a million little tweezers pulling out all your hair as you roll it across your skin). Buuut because of that, it’s known to be painful af. Thankfully, this one has a pressure sensor to make sure you’re not pressing the tool too hard against your skin and causing unnecessary irritation and pain. Plus, it comes with a bunch of attachments, like a body massager and a razor and trimmer duo.

If you’re in the camp of wanting smooth, silky skin (it me!), at-home laser hair removal is kind of everything. The lights on this device heat up and destroy part of your hair follicle with every treatment, so if you keep it up 3-4 times a week for at least six weeks, you’ll notice less hair growth. And unlike pricey, painful in-office laser hair removal treatments, this is relatively painless and 49 percent off for Prime Day (yep, you read that right). FYI though: This device doesn't specify a range of skin tones, so to be safe, only use this on light-to-medium skin and brown and black hair.

Just saying, it’s pretty easy to do gel nails at home if you have the right equipment, like this LED nail lamp that’s 33 percent off for Prime Day. The whopping 25,000 reviews rave about the lamp’s motion sensor, which allows you to slide your hands inside to cure your gel polish without fiddling with any buttons.

For less than $30 (shout-out to this 25 percent off Prime Day deal), you get three full-size Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreens. And this isn’t just any sunscreen: It’s a water-based gel formula that’s completely clear and sinks right into the skin—see: no sticky residue—and will actually make your skin feel softer and smoother. And if you deal with bacne, you’ll be happy to know this formula is oil free <3.

You might recognize this viral concealer from TikTok (it got a casual 30 million views, NBD), and the hype is freakin’ real. It’s lightweight and doesn’t settle into fine lines, but still has serious coverage when you dab it under the eyes or layer it over acne. My acne scars? Forgot they existed. And if there’s any time to try it, it’s when it’s 16 percent off. Tysm, Prime Day.

If you’re new to retinol or have extra-sensitive skin, I always recommend trying a retinol face cream like this one to help mitigate any of the potential dry, inflamed, or peeling side effects. This retinol-spiked formula has a whipped consistency that feels lightweight on your skin, but continues hydrating until the next morning. The plumping and smoothing you’ll get from the retinol in about four weeks is an added bonus. This one’s 32 percent off right now for Prime Day, so idk, grab one for your mom and BFF too.

My dentist actually recommended this exact Waterpik because it’s easy to travel with. Of course, just a few months after buying it, it’s now 20 percent off. Sigh. But trust me when I say this device has the power to dislodge and break down gunk and food along your gums and between your teeth, without the bulk of bigger machines, or the annoyance of traditional flossing. Since I started using it, my teeth cleanings are a breeze, and my dentist is v happy with me. And you know what they say: happy dentist, happy life. Or something.

Vitamin C serums are, like, required reading if you want glowy skin, but they can get expensive. Enter: TruSkin’s affordable vitamin C that’s an extra $10 off for Prime Day. This one contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and jojoba oil to make your skin glowy and hydrated, while vitamin C itself helps protect your skin from pollution and free-radical damage. Wait, and did I mention it has over 68,000 five-star reviews on Amazon? Yep.

The most stubborn dark spots (talkin’ to you, melasma) might get a little brighter with this serum, which is beloved by half of the Cosmo beauty team. It’s filled with tranexamic acid, which can both fade hyperpigmentation and reduce the overproduction of melanin in your skin that causes the spots in the first place. This serum is definitely pricey, but you can get it for 10 percent off for Prime Day rn, which makes it a lil easier, right?

I’ve been using this mascara for a decade, and it still slaps. It never makes my lashes flake or smudge throughout the day, and it helps give my straight lashes a slight curl. Plus, when I do my inevitable touch-up for post-work events, my lashes don’t look clumpy and spider-y. Truly, it’s one of the best mascaras, and I like it even more when it’s more than 20 percent off. 😊
