Confession: Despite the fact that my job as a shopping editor requires me to sniff out the best deals Amazon has to offer, I rarely buy things for myself from the mega-retailer. However, I make an exception during major sales events like Prime Big Deal Days—the discounts are simply too good to pass up. Below, I’ve rounded up the beauty and fashion finds I’m shopping during October Prime Day. And, since it’s been established that I’m a tad picky, you can trust that my selections are actually worthwhile.

I’m not proud of it, but I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it comes to drugstore mascara. That is, until I discovered the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara. The creamy, non-clumping formula effortlessly glides onto your lashes to provide natural-looking length and volume in just a couple of swipes. It’s not an exaggeration to say I wear this mascara every single day, so I’m definitely planning to restock while it’s on sale.
Another one of my affordable makeup faves? The viral Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer. Marked down to just $11, this radiant bronzer counts Sofia Richie Grainge among its fans. Additionally, I’m in my press-on nail era, so I’m planning to add these ultra-chic Chill Tips press-ons to my cart.

As a beauty editor, I have tried more than my fair share of face moisturizers, but I always go back to the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. It effectively hydrates my dryness-prone combination skin without triggering breakouts, so I’ll definitely be adding it to my cart while it’s discounted. Plus, with winter quickly approaching, I need to prioritize moisturizing my lips, which is why I’m stocking up on this $6 Mario Badescu Moisturizing Lip Balm. For my last beauty pick, I’ve included another mainstay in my skincare routine—the Starface Hydro Stars Pimple Patches, which are as effective at banishing breakouts as they are adorable.
