Of All the Beauty Finds I've Used This Year, Here's What I'm Stocking Up on During October Amazon Prime Day


Well, we've reached that time of year again where our inboxes are being flooded with jaw-dropping deals from major retailers, and our credit cards are working twice as hard as they usually would. To kick off the sales season ahead of the holidays (we might have just begun fall, but we're already racing toward 2026), I decided to take a look at my beauty cabinet and ID the top products I'll be stocking up on just in time for prices to drop during Amazon's annual Prime Big Deal Days held from October 7 to 8.
Below, I'm spilling the skin, hair, and bodycare essentials that I've used to the last drop and will be replacing the second the deals drop at midnight. Wondering what made the list? Keep scrolling for everything that will be making a reappearance on my shelves at a much lower price than I originally paid for them.
Skincare
Over the last few years, I've noticed a few pesky fine lines forming under my eyes. Dime's TBT Eye Cream uses a rich formula powered by bakuchiol (a plant-based alternative to retinol) as well as a burst of hydrating squalane to keep the skin soft and plump.
I love adding a hydrating mist to my skincare routine to combat the dry fall and winter air before it starts. The Phyto-Aromatic Treatment Mist is at the top of my list with a purifying blend of five essential oils to deeply hydrate, purify, and tone the skin with two or three spritzes to the face and décolletage.
My goal for this season is to begin using more squalane in my routine, and my top pick to get the job done is this barrier-supporting serum. Using five ceramides to help maintain the skin's natural function, this can be layered with other products (including retinol and vitamin C) since the formula is so lightweight.
I can proudly say I got through this entire tube in months, and I'm coming back for more. This cream doesn't just smooth away fine lines and wrinkles; it offers an eye-tightening sensation that addresses the appearance of under-eye puffiness, fine lines, deep wrinkles, and crow's-feet.
Haircare and Styling
Fall is silk press season, so you can bet I'll be snagging more of Vegamour's Gro+ Advanced Hair Serum. This one improves hair density, reduces hair shedding, and hydrates the scalp to support the skin barrier. It's also ideal for all hair types, and easy to add to your daily haircare routine.
To ensure thickness and volume for all of my straight styles, I reach for the IGK Body Language Rice Water Plumping and Thickening Mist. Lasting for 24 hours, the heat-activated prep mist offers 450°F heat protection while helping detangle, hydrate, and plump strands in a single step.
Admittedly, I don't use deep conditioning masks as frequently as I should between protective styles. Of all the products I've used to help revive tight coils, this one is second to none. It strengthens and repairs damaged, dry strands in 10 minutes with a combination of algae extract, vitamin B, and rose hip oil.
Another product I'll be stocking up on during this month's Amazon savings event is Curlsmith's Bond Curl Rehab Salve. This fast-working, protein-rich treatment uses amino acids from guava, kale, prickly pear, pumpkin seed, and shitake mushroom to repair, hydrate, and protect my tendrils from damage in 15–30 minutes.
Bodycare
For months, I've been slathering myself with this luxe body lotion by Kiehl's for silky, smooth skin. Suitable for all skin types, this nongreasy must-have is crafted with sustainably sourced cocoa butter (known for its antioxidant properties). This one also uses squalane to restore skin to its softest state by supporting the barrier.
You can never have too many whipped body soufflés at your disposal, but if I had to choose just one, this Morrocannoil find would be a shoo-in. Using a blend of squalane and argan oil backed by a skin-revitalizing combination of avocado and macadamia seed oils, this soufflé instantly gives soft, smooth skin every time.
Looking for another whipped body cream to add to a fall bodycare lineup? You won't want to miss this one by Beekman 1802. Rich in vitamins and minerals, lactic acid, and goat milk, the brand's bestselling body cream promotes a well-balanced microbiome that unlocks long-lasting hydration and soft, smooth skin.
I can't say enough good things about this fast-absorbing body cream, but I'll start with the fact that this one is crafted with caffeine-rich guarana to visibly smooth and tighten skin (plus cupuacu for deep hydration). It also smells incredible thanks to a formula scented with Sol de Janeiro's smooth gourmand Cheirosa 72.
