You’re still getting to know me here, but in no time at all you’ll learn that I’m both cheap and bougie. Chougie—let’s call it that. This chougie lifestyle has led me to some of the fanciest, most useful beauty products out there—as well as the ways how I (and you) can get them at a steep discount. There are a few ways I go about this—Dermstore seemingly has a sale every week, and so does SkinStore—but today I’ve set my focus to Amazon because it’s friggin' Amazon Prime Day! What’s that, you ask? It’s a SHOPPING HOLIDAY that Amazon created out of thin air. Nifty.
OK, here’s some more information: Amazon Prime day is 36-hour sale event that is happening now and will last until 3AM EST, July 18. The discounts vary, from a few dollars off to upwards of 40% in savings. Don't rejoice yet, though—you have to be an Amazon Prime member in order to snag a deal. Sneaky, sneaky Jeff Bezos. Not a member? No problem. Sign up here. It costs $12.99 a month, and you can sign up for a free 30-day trial (a tip: cancel your membership within the 30-day range if you’re chougie level: expert).
Now that that’s out of the way, here’s what I’m looking forward to most this fine Prime Day:
