Amazon Prime Day 2024 beauty bargains you don't want to miss
We’re not screaming, you’re screaming
We don't mean to be dramatic, but it’s officially Amazon Prime Day. Well, almost...
What is Amazon Prime Day?
And what does it have to do with me, you ask? Honestly, fair question, let’s discuss.
Amazon Prime Day is traditionally an epic 48-hour shopping spree special, but this year the online retailer is treating Australian shoppers to six whole days of deals!
Yep, that's right, Amazon Prime Day 2024 will begin on July 16th and run until July 21st, meaning this year’s event will be the longest-running on record for Amazon Prime Australia. Amazon Prime members will be able to score low prices across all categories, but most importantly, on beauty products such as K-Beauty must-haves and premium hair tools from Dyson. Just in time for tax refund season.
"We are thrilled to be bringing our longest-ever Prime Day to Australia this year, giving shoppers more time to unlock great value," shared Arno Lenior (Director of Amazon Prime across APAC) in a press statement. "Aussies are savvier than ever when it comes to spending, with two in three waiting for marquee sales events to make big-ticket purchases and we look forward to offering them incredible discounts."
"We encourage shoppers to start thinking about what they need or want and building out wishlists so that come Prime Day, they are ready," he advised.
What products should you keep an eye out for?
Well, there are so many products currently on sale, but it looks like K-Beauty and tech are two of the biggest trends in beauty to look out for at Amazon Australia. With that in mind, we suggest adding all the skin care and hair tools you can to your Amazon wishlist in anticipation of the upcoming sale.
Well, if you insist...
