Amazon’s 2024 Prime Days are behind us, but beauty lovers can revel in the fact that the retailer just kicked off another major sales event: the Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul. Through Nov. 3, Amazon Prime members can shop discounts on the retailer’s top makeup, skin care, and hair care products, including limited-edition beauty kits and bundles that are ripe for gifting this winter.
Think of the Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul as a mini Prime Day focusing solely on glam essentials and beauty gifts. Our editors are eyeing discounts on many of Amazon’s bestselling beauty products, like the calming and hydrating Cosrx Snail Mucin serum with over 55,000 five-star reviews and the Dyson Corrale hair straightener that makes a winning gift for your wife or mom. But in our eyes, the Holiday Beauty Haul is worth shopping for the gift sets alone — these high-value kits already offer you more bang for your buck, and Amazon is stacking up the discounts with additional price drops.
We were surprised to see a handful of luxury beauty sets included in this year’s Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul, including deals on Tatcha’s celebrity-loved skin care and Philosophy’s Amazing Grace perfume gift set (which is always a top Amazon gift for girlfriends). This Amazon beauty sale is also a great opportunity to tick stocking stuffers off of your holiday gifting list with deals on little luxuries like Mario Badescu’s face mists and Kitsch’s cute claw clips.
Like other Amazon sales events, you can expect more deals to roll through as the two-week event progresses. There’s no guarantee that what’s on sale today will still be discounted tomorrow, so don’t hesitate to click ‘add to cart’ on these finds. Like other Amazon sales events, Prime members get dibs on the deals; sign up for a free 30-day trial to unlock these sales and to test-drive other Prime perks like free two-day delivery.

The Cosrx Snail Mucin Serum is a TikTok-famous beauty product that our editors can get behind.

Editor testing and review notes: “CosRx snail mucin essence feels like a lightweight gel on your skin, and dries down to a dewy finish that made my complexion look hydrated and feel silky. After two weeks of testing, I’ve noticed less redness and a subtle plumping effect that’s smoothed fine lines, particularly on my forehead.” — WWD Shop Senior Beauty & Lifestyle Commerce Editor Claire Sullivan

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover
Amazon’s Choice
3K+ bought in past month
This top Clinique beauty product has a cult following for its ability to slough away hard-to-remove makeup like waterproof eyeliner and jet-black mascaras. It also leaves the skin feeling super hydrated and nourished, rather than stripped.
Editor testing and review notes: “Aptly named, this Clinique cleansing balm removes every bit of grime and makeup that comes its way. It’s softer than many cleansing balms on the market, making it easier to grab the right amount out of the tub without wasting product. I always give myself a mini face massage when I’m rubbing it in; it doesn’t contain fragrance but smells naturally nice. As a contact lens-wearer with sensitive eyes, I also appreciate that it’s ophthalmologist tested.” — Sullivan

What Is Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul?
The Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul is a two-week sales event with deals on nearly every beauty category, including skin care, makeup, hair styling tools, and more. Amazon Beauty Hauls occur twice a year: the Summer Beauty Haul usually happens in May, while the Holiday Beauty Haul has kicked off in mid-October since 2021.
Unlike Amazon Prime Day, the Holiday Beauty Haul is solely focused on the beauty and personal care categories. For 2024, Amazon is offering the most impressive deals on beauty sets for gifting — we likely won’t see similar price drops until Black Friday, and even then, there’s no guarantee that the deals will be this good (early bird gets the worm, after all).
The Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul lasts through Nov. 3 and is exclusive to Prime members.
