Best beauty deals in the Amazon Spring Sale, from skincare to make-up
It's only the start of six days of sales excitement, but I'm already seeing a host of huge offers across all things beauty. Whether you've been eyeing up an epilator for smooth, silky skin, or a high-tech hair dryer that delivers salon-worthy results in no time, now's the time to pounce.
What's more, the Amazon Spring Sale is a great opportunity to stock up on all your favourites with Korean make-up brands like Erborian and COSRX taking part. There are also big discounts on Japanese skincare brands like Curel and Bioré.
Whether you're after everyday essentials like moisturisers and cleansers or want to treat yourself to the latest in beauty tech, Amazon's Spring Sale has you sorted with plenty of options. Keep an eye on this guide as I'll be updating it as more deals roll in, so you won't miss out on a single cosmetics steal.
The CeraVe hydrating cleanser is a cult favourite praised for its ability to cleanse without stripping the skin. In her round-up of the b est CeraVe products, beauty editor Lucy Partington not only dubbed it her favourite product but described ait s 'universally loved' and 'a true hero of the CeraVe range.' She noted that it works to remove makeup and cleanse quickly. The mix of ceramides and hyaluronic acid leaves the skin soft and hydrated, too. Now reduced by 30 per cent, this skincare essential is a must-have for anyone looking for a gentle and hydrating start to the day.
Maybelline's lash sensational sky high mascara is a viral sensation, and assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones is a huge fan. In her review, she noted: 'One coat of the mascara made an instant difference to the length of my lashes,' and highlighted its ability to provide dramatic length and lift. The formula, enriched with bamboo extract and fibres ensures a lightweight, non-clumpy finish, while the flexible wand helps coat each lash, even in hard-to-reach areas. Ideal for both one-coat and layered voluminous finishes, this tubing mascara is a must-try, especially with nearly 40 per cent off right now.
Looking for the perfect hair dryer? The Remington one dry and style hair dryer is a standout choice, earning the top spot in the best hair dryers guide. Hair aficionado Nicole Ocran praised the model for its versatility, noting its four attachments for everything from flyaway taming to curl-defining. She said: 'It has something for everyone, making it ideal for households with different hair types.' Right now, it's reduced by more than £30, making it an even better value pick. With its practical features and impressive performance, it's a great all-rounder for anyone looking to elevate their styling routine.
The Philips satinelle essential epilator delivers impressive performance for its small £25 price and, in her review, beauty writer Louise Whitbread praised it for being 'slim, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, making it ideal for underarms'. With two speed settings, it offers powerful hair removal that leaves skin smooth without causing ingrown hairs. And, while it can be slightly painful at first, it's manageable with regular use. Now reduced by 26 per cent, it's a fantastic budget-friendly option for anyone looking for a long-lasting, stubble-free finish.
La Roche-Posay's cicaplast B5 serum is a game-changer for irritated skin. In her review, beauty editor Lucy Partington said that it 'worked well to soothe and nourish [her] skin, ridding it of that telltale tightness.' The serum combines 10 per cent vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier without leaving a greasy finish. Lucy appreciated its lightweight texture, noting that it absorbed quickly, leaving skin nourished and comfortable. It also layers well with other products, making it a top pick for anyone with sensitive or dry skin. Right now, it's reduced by 20 per cent – an even more lucrative addition to your skincare routine, if you ask me.
Erborian's cult BB cream took the top spot in our guide to the best BB creams, and it's easy to see why. Make-up maestro Lauren Cunningham loved its "non-cakey full coverage", calling it a great alternative to foundation. Packed with white ginseng and fermented ginseng flower, it hydrates the skin while niacinamide works to tackle blemishes and blackheads. As Lauren put it: "It's a product that conceals, but also actively benefits your skin." With long-lasting wear and impressive results, this BB cream is now available for £33.60 – down 30 per cent courtesy of Amazon.
Elemis' pro-collagen gel eye masks offer a refreshing boost of hydration while tackling fine lines and wrinkles. They feature a powerful blend of hyaluronic acid, chlorella, and padina pavonica to nourish and promote collagen production. In her guide to the best eye patches, our reviewer Helen said 'After use, our tired skin looked and felt as if it had gained welcome moisture.' The patches sit comfortably under the eyes, stay in place without sliding and leave no excess product behind. A six-pack of individually wrapped masks makes them a convenient option for hydration on the go and they're currently reduced, making now an even better time to try them.
In her guide to the best anti-ageing day creams, Sabine – a mature skin expert – found Elizabeth Arden's retinol + HPR ceramide water cream to be ideal for daytime use. She noted how she was 'surprised to see real results after just seven days, with [her] skin feeling smoother and looking brighter.' This advanced formula combines the power of HPR, a gentler yet highly effective retinoid, with peptides, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and bisabolol (a soothing ingredient from chamomile). The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and hydrated. With nearly half off, it's the perfect opportunity to experience its transformative effects for yourself - just remember to combine it with SPF for the best results.
The Bioré aqua rich sunscreen is a standout choice for anyone who dislikes heavy sunscreens or struggles with acne. In her guide to the best face SPFs, skincare expert Lauren praised its ultra-light texture, saying: 'It feels like water on the skin, absorbing instantly without any sticky or greasy residue.' Part of popular Japanese beauty brand Bioré, it combines hyaluronic acid and glycerin to provide hydration without clogging pores. Plus, with a fresh citrus scent and quick absorption, it sits perfectly under makeup, too. Now reduced by 33 per cent, this Japanese gem is an excellent choice for anyone seeking lightweight, effective sun protection.
Ghd's unplugged straighteners offer professional results wherever you go. In her review, assistant IndyBest editor Sarah explained: "The convenience of a cordless straightener without sacrificing performance is a game-changer." Launched in 2021, this sleek, portable styler boasts the same dual-zone heater technology found in other Ghd tools, ensuring a consistent styling temperature of 185C. Whether you're straightening or curling, it delivers flawless results, and with a 20-minute battery life, it's perfect for quick styling sessions. Plus, with USB-C charging, you can easily power up from your laptop or car – making it the ultimate travel companion.
Kérastase's elixir ultime hair oil has earned a devoted following, and for good reason. In fact, beauty writer Lauren found that this is the best hair oil on the market in her guide to the best hair oils. Packed with hair-loving ingredients like amla extract, camellia, and argan oil, it strengthens hair, promotes growth, and helps prevent premature greying. The oil also provides heat protection up to 230C, smooths frizz, seals split ends and enhances shine. Perfect for both damp hair as a primer or dry hair for a finishing touch, the elixir ultime is reduced by 20 per cent right now (was £58, now £46.25, Amazon.co.uk), with the refill offering an even better deal at 30 per cent off.
With more than five years of experience in the industry, I've seen my fair share of Amazon sales events. I'm familiar with which beauty brands offer the best annual deals and – more importantly – which ones might offer falsely inflated discounts. Like the rest of the team at IndyBest, I handpick the best beauty reductions based on our myriad reviews and ensure that every deal offers a worthwhile saving.

New Broughty Ferry showroom has £3,000 toilet and £7,500 bath
A new Broughty Ferry bathroom and kitchen showroom is selling a £3,000 toilet and £7,500 bath. Despite the eye-watering price points of some items, Home Improvement Centre owner Maria Inglis says her focus is on 'affordable luxury'. The new business is located on Gray Street, in the former Millars clothing store unit, which shut last year after more than a century of trading. The shop boasts three kitchen displays and eight bathroom bays and offers a full design to installation service. Maria said: 'We have a variety of price points – it's not all top end. We want to be attainable. 'Affordable luxury is what we're going for – everyone should have a nice space to live in.' The heated Japanese toilet on display has the ability to wash and dry. The £7,500 black stone bath in the window has been imported from Italy. It required six people to lift the 220kg bath into the shop. 'The Japanese-style toilets are becoming more popular,' said Maria. 'It is an expensive item – not everyone will put this in their bathroom – but there are people who will go for this. 'It has ambient lighting on the toilet so you don't need to put the bathroom lights on in the middle of the night. 'The bath comes from Aquabella, a Spanish company. They are quite exclusive and expensive, for people who want to have something extra special. 'We've put it in the window to show we're different and not run-of-the-mill. We hope having something spectacular in the window will draw people in to have a look.' Maria, who is married to Ian, said she has a passion for bathrooms and kitchens. She said the kitchens in the business are British-made with an emphasis on innovative storage solutions. She adds: 'I find kitchens exciting. As a mother of three, I feel like I spend my life in the kitchen. 'It's such a valuable space in the home. It needs to look good, but it needs to work for you as a family. It's the heart of the home. 'The Scandi-look is on trend at the moment, with a lot of natural textures and quite clean and minimalist. 'Open shelving is very popular, particularly in smaller spaces as it gives the feeling of more space. 'People are wanting to see a bit of texture in their bathrooms.' Maria said there had been a lot of interest from passing customers as the shop underwent a three-month refurbishment. The couple, who live in Monifieth, have spent more than £160,000 on the refurbishment and stock. Maria, who overcame throat cancer five years ago, said: 'When the premises popped up on Gray Street it was an opportunity not to be missed. 'We have had so many people asking about the shop as the work's been going on. 'We're really excited to open our doors on Saturday.'

Car dealership closes after ‘many years of business' leaving customers to travel 13 miles to nearest branch
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY-run car dealership group has been forced to close a long-standing Citroen outlet. Daler group Wilmoths has said 'every effort is being made to minimise disruption' after the firm took the decision to shut up shop at their location on Bar End Road, Winchester, Hampshire. 2 Wilmoths shuts its long-standing Citroen dealership in Winchester, citing lease expiry and operational streamlining Credit: Google 2 After yeaes of service, Wilmoths Citroen on Bar End Road, Winchester, closes its doors with its Southampton branch (pictured) the nearest alternative Credit: Google According to the Hampshire Chronicle, the Wilmoths Citroen has served the local community for 'many years of business' with the future of the site now left 'unclear'. Their report states the location ceased trading on 20 June, following a review as its lease was nearing expiry. Sunil Joshi, managing director, said: "We can confirm that the Wilmoths Winchester Bar End branch is closing. 'The lease for the site was due for renewal, and after careful consideration, we have made the decision not to extend it. "This choice reflects our ongoing efforts to streamline operations while continuing to provide excellent service to our customers, many of whom are also able to access our nearby Wilmoths Southampton branch. "We are committed to keeping our customers informed and ensuring a smooth transition. "Every effort is being made to minimise disruption and maintain the high level of service our customers expect." The aforementioned Wilmoths Southampton branch is located some 13 miles away. The brand, which also trades as Jarretts, represents Citroen, DS, Fiat, Abarth and Peugeot, with sites found across Kent, Hampshire, Berskhire, Sussex and Surrey. HIT THE BRAKES After a problem-strewn period of months, Nissan has confirmed it will be axing hundreds of jobs at one of its Sunderland factory. New Nissan Leaf tested - it's bigger, better and goes further The move comes after the firm reported £4 billion losses in the last financial year. 250 jobs will be cut under a "voluntary leave scheme" letting employees choose to leave their roles with support from the company. It comes just weeks after the Japanese firm announced the new Nissan Leaf would be made at the Sunderland site. The job losses will hit non-manufacturing positions with around 250 staff to be made redundant. Nissan has announced the cuts amid a desperate bid to balance the books and support a global effort to become a more "resilient business." The attempts to save the brand were ramped up after merger talks with Honda fell through. Earlier this year the firm announced 20,000 job losses, seven factory closures and a pause on all post-2026 new car development. The closures of seven of its factories would see the brand limited to just 10 sites.

Would you pay $19 for a strawberry?
SIX LARGE strawberries are neatly wrapped in what looks like a fancy chocolate box. The Omakase berries—a Japanese variety, grown by a company called Oishii in New Jersey—are softer and sweeter than those found in most supermarkets. You would hope so: they cost around $14 a box, roughly three times the price of a punnet at Walmart.
