With Fourth of July behind us and Labor Day a ways off, you might feel like you'll be stuck purchasing full-priced beauty items for some time. But for those with Amazon Prime memberships, today is essentially Black Friday come early. That's right, Amazon Prime Day is here — and the beauty deals are not to be missed.
For those not in the know, Amazon Prime Day is essentially 24 hours of amazing deals — from beauty to electronics, and everything in-between. You can catch a full breakdown of how the sale works here. But for those anxious to hear about the deals already, we got you.
Because we know it's overwhelming to sift through the thousands of discounts available, we thought we'd do you a solid and highlight some of the best beauty buys from the bunch. Some of your favorite items are up to 50% off (yes, you read that right), so there's no time like the present to take advantage. Feel free to save the rest of that money for a much-deserved summer getaway. Or, you know, actual Black Friday.
You can snag not only one, but two of these volumizing mascaras today if you act fast. The giant wand is pretty much a straight-lashed girl's best friend.
