This is my Super Bowl, my Oscars, my personal MET Gala — but instead of couture, it’s serums, mascaras and moisturizers at scandalously good prices.
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when a beauty obsessive reaches peak happiness, it’s this: the Amazon Beauty Event, where all the products I hoard like a dragon guarding treasure suddenly become *affordable.*
Starting April 27, the holy grails, TikTok-viral must-haves and the “I’ll wait until it’s on sale” splurges are now slashed, discounted and practically begging to be tossed into your cart. This is truly your strategic restock moment.
Oh, and you best believe it’s not random leftovers or questionable formulas — it’s the good stuff. As Post Wanted’s sworn-in beauty reporter who has swatched more lip products than I could count, flown to South Korea to get my hands on anything for glass skin and shuffled through a fair share of shampoos, this is the ultimate list of what to buy.
Enough yapping. Let’s get into the deals.

Haircare Deals
Shark FlexStyle
After reviewing the Shark FlexStyle, I can attest it’s one of my favorite hair tools ever. It’s powerful, efficient and glamorous. Not to mention, its myriad attachments really yield salon blowout results at home.
Listen, as much as I love K-beauty and all the glass skin-producing products, Korean shampoos are truly worth flying 16 hours to Seoul for — but you don’t have to. Luckily, one of my favorites, the AROMATICA Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo, is now less than $20 for a fee-good scalp reset.
Makeup Deals
L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion
Beloved by celebrities and everyday shoppers (ahem, me) alike, the L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion is a case study in how to get a glowy, wearable look in just two seconds. I use it as a makeup primer, an all-over face base and a midday retoucher. It’s iconic and now less than $15!
Not many people talk about the Tarte BB Blur Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 and it deserves some time in the spotlight. Out of all of the face products I own, this one offers the smoothest finish (which is saying a lot, considering I almost had to buy all of Target’s organizational bins to fit my stash!) It truly is a versatile, easy-to-apply product that you need to pick up during Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event.
Skincare Deals
medicube Zero Foam Cleanser
When I reviewed nearly all of medicube, I didn’t expect to fall in love with its Zero Foam Cleanser as much as I did. When dolloped onto my skin, it holds a pastry filling texture that’s oh-so-sweet, melting into my skin and canceling out impurities and redness. For $13, it’s a showstopper.
grace & stella Energizing Eye Masks
I don’t know how many grace & stella Energizing Eye Masks I’ve gone through in my 5+ years as a beauty tester, but it’s a lot. They look cute (which is important) and de-puff my under-eyes (even more important), so they’re a winner in my eyes. They’re the best under-eye patches I reviewed and are now less than $25.
