I might say that every beauty sale event is my favorite time of the year, but I'm a beauty writer — and I also really love a good deal. Ahead of summer, Amazon is welcoming its third Summer Beauty Event. And like the previous years, this one is too good to miss.
Beginning now until May 11, Amazon's Summer Beauty Event will feature thousands of products across skin care, makeup, hair and more on deal to restock or discover new favorites (You might even get some gifting inspo ahead of Mother's Day). Premium beauty brands, such as Moroccanoil, Sunday Riley, Kiehl's and Tarte are also included in the sale.
According to the retailer, all Amazon customers can expect daily deals from various brands and enjoy up to 62% off top beauty throughout the sale event. But if you're a Prime member, you might want to take advantage of your free, two-day shipping.
