Amazon's Holiday Beauty Haul Is Here—17 Things Worth Adding to Your Cart
The month of October will always have a special place in my heart. Not only because it's Halloween month but because it kicks off the holiday season with a few of my favorite things—festive food and Amazon shopping. That's right. Amazon is helping you get a head start on gift buying with its Holiday Beauty Haul event starting today and running through November 6. Now's your chance to get a few bucks off those hair, skin, and makeup items you've been eyeing for yourself or a friend. Ideally, I should use this time to solely buy holiday gifts for others, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking to snag a few things for myself too. For all the best beauty items on sale, keep scrolling.
If you haven't tried anything from the celeb- and stylist-loved brand Olaplex, now is the time while this Ultimate Essentials kit is a few bucks cheaper. This kit jump-starts hair repair deep within the strand and restores it to health, leaving it softer, more manageable, and with reduced breakage.
A good hyaluronic acid serum is key during the colder months to help your skin maintain hydration. PCA Skin's ultra-potent blend offers lasting hydration, firms the skin, and even encourages it to make more of its own hyaluronic acid.
Another cold-weather item I consider vital is the right hand cream. Avène's rich cream locks hydration into the deeper layers of the skin but is never greasy. It always helps repair my dry, cracked hands (thanks, excessive hand-washing) so fast.
Derms love this Neutrogena serum because it provides SPF 60 protection and helps fight photoaging, fine lines, dark spots, and sagging.
You can fake extra-voluminous hair when you have the right products and tools. This styling mousse from SexyHair lifts strands at the roots and provides long-lasting style memory for up to 48 hours. It's great for really fine or medium hair to add a boost of texture and body.
This curlcare kit from All About Curls is already pretty affordable, but you can snag it for even more money off. Treat yourself (or a curly-haired friend) to some extra-luxe items. The set contains a no-lather hair cleanser, conditioner, defining gel, and curl cream. It's all your curly-hair essentials in one.
This oil-free moisturizer from Perricone MD visibly brightens the skin, tightens, and reduces the appearance of dark spots with a hefty dose of vitamin C. It also helps protect against environmental aggressors, so it's a great, high-quality daytime moisturizer.
Soft, radiant skin is just a papaya-enzyme peel away when you snag this gem from Elemis.
If your hair is brittle, damaged, or prone to breakage, this oil is for you. It envelopes hair in a blanket of moisture with ingredients like nourishing castor oil and black-seed oil. Your strands will be restored and full of life.
Define and hold your curls in place with stylist-loved brand Unite's rich, hydrating cream. With coconut oil and plant extracts, it seals in moisture and provides extra-strong hold.
This rich hydration mask was developed by celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and offers deep moisture without weighing the hair down. It also leaves an extra-glossy finish.
I know exfoliating moisturizers aren't for everyone, but this one from Neostrata promotes skin rejuvenation with a 10% AHA blend. It's gentle but leaves skin soft and renewed—definitely worth adding to your routine.
Get salon-sleek hair with this ceramic straightener from Chi at less than half the price. It's a great option for fine to medium hair, as the temperature heats up to 392°F.
This superfood priming moisturizer is infused with prebiotics, kombucha, fermented ginger, and microminerals. It leaves skin feeling soft, balanced, and perfectly primed for makeup.
So many celebrity stylists swear by this tool from T3, and it just happens to be on sale. Buy one for a friend or yourself—I definitely encourage both.
These retinol capsules from Elizabeth Arden improve skin's texture and tone and minimize fine lines. I love the single-dose capsules that allow for extra freshness and potency.
I consider Evian's ultra-hydrating facial spray an at-home and travel essential. I love that this kit comes with a variety of sizes—one that can fit in your carry-on and a jumbo size to keep on your bedside table at home.
