A Beauty Editor's Shopping Cart for Amazon's Holiday Beauty Haul
It's officially the best time of year—a chill is in the air, the holiday season is beginning to ramp up, and beauty sales abound. When it comes to saving major money on beauty, Amazon has you covered.
This year, Amazon is hopping on the holiday gifting train extra early with its Holiday Beauty Haul event, which is running through November 6. Now is the perfect time to stock up on holiday gifts (or just replenish some of your beauty favorites at a discount). See below for my essential edit—these are products you can feel totally confident in.
Two dollars for non-sticky, multidimensional lip gloss that also moisturizes lips? Say less—I just might add all 24 colors to my cart.
If you've been wanting to add a retinoid into your routine but don't want to spend a lot of money on it and don't have a prescription, this gel will be your new best friend. Made with 0.1% adapalene, this prescription-strength retinoid increases cell turnover and is a true workhorse against acne.
Get Hailey Bieber's nail color of choice at a discount. This sheer white nail polish looks good on everyone.
If you're already planning holiday gifting, consider this kit full of Olaplex's best sellers. Grab it for a friend (or keep it for yourself!) and give the gift of healthier, stronger hair.
FYI, now is the perfect time to stock up on body lotions before the drier winter months sneak up on us. This one is blended with a nourishing serum for extremely soft skin, and it also has pearl extract for a subtle luminosity.
If your hair is in need of a burst of moisture, this deep conditioner will save the day. Packed with nourishing ingredients like manuka honey, baobab, fig extract, and mafura oil, this conditioner helps pull moisture into the hair while strengthening the cuticle.
Everyone should have a good cleansing balm in their skincare routine. This one works for all skin types, cleansing the skin without stripping its natural oils. The main ingredient, Japanese Barely Magic, is chock-full of vitamins and antioxidants that will help regulate your skin’s melanin production. (Say goodbye to pesky dark spots.)
Give your skin the nourishment it deserves with this clarifying mud mask. It’s made from a powerful blend of mineral mud sourced from the Dead Sea, aloe vera, calendula oil, vitamin E, and jojoba oil to gently purify and clean clogged pores with gentle exfoliation. You’ll be left with soft skin and a radiant glow that can’t be beat.
Castor oil is one of my favorite all-natural products to stimulate hair growth, strengthen nails, and moisturize the skin. This one comes with an eyelash and eyebrow kit for easy application that includes five wands and brushes. Imported from India, it’s the castor oil is completely unrefined, pure, and cruelty-free.
One of my main beauty philosophies is that you can never have too much Aquaphor. Use it for moisturizing dry skin, healing small wounds, and slugging your face in the dry winter months.
Curling your hair has never been easier thanks to this innovative iron that does the work for you. It draws hair into the curling chamber and times how long it's curled for, ensuring perfect spirals every time.
You’ve probably seen this brand’s viral lip mask all over social media, but have you tried its hyaluronic acid serum? Packed with the ingredient, it strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier and delivers long-lasting hydration. This serum is also incredibly lightweight and soaks in instantly, making it an easy addition to any routine.
One of my favorite tricks for supremely hydrated skin is spraying my face with mineral water before applying hyaluronic acid serum so my skin has plenty of moisture to pull in. This one is refreshing and moisturizing.
Stylists swear by this hair straightener, which has nine heat settings that work for every hair type and texture. Thanks to its targeted heat settings, you can expect sleek, smooth hair in just one pass.
