I'm an Amazon-Obsessed Editor—The 36 Best On-Sale Items in Every Category For October's Prime Day
Today marks the arrival of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, and some would say that this marks the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season. Whether that's your main objective or your just shopping for yourself during Amazon's big two-day sale, I'm here to provide you with a great place to start.
The categories I tend to shop the most on Amazon are fashion, beauty, home, and travel. (The inventory is so rich that it's a big reason I never step foot in actual stores anymore.) So naturally, that's where I gravitate first during each of Amazon's massive twice-yearly sales. I think we can all agree that adding a second site-wide sale event annually is one of the best things Amazon has done in recent memory, and I plan on taking full advantage of it, as it seems to get better each time.
Below, I'm sharing some items (from each of the aforementioned categories) that are currently in my Amazon cart with you, along with some that I've purchased in the past, and then some that simply caught my attention while scrolling through the sale. Read on to fill your cart along with me.
TRAVEL
If you're still not using packing cubes you're missing out. This set is a great place to start.
No need to part with your electronic toothbrush when you travel—this one is super compact.
If you've had your eye on these, you'll regret missing this deal.
Something I can't support is putting shoes in your suitcase sans-shoe bags.
BEAUTY
These are my favorite affordable makeup brushes.
I use this eyeshadow almost every day.
HOME
This does so many things at once.
This looks pretty and it'll majorly prolong the life of your candles.
This will give you perfect bathroom lighting no matter the time of day.
A kitchen should never be without these.
FASHION
This is the perfect weight for fall.
To be honest, I'd gladly pay more than this for this sweater.
Two chic basics are better than one.
