The sale is designed to give early holiday shoppers (both Prime subscribers and non-members) a chance to save on bigger ticket items weeks before the season kicks off. It’s a great time to splurge on higher end products and gadgets, like PMD’s at-home microdermabrasion tools, T3’s lightweight and super fast hair dryer, and Oral-B’s highly rated electric toothbrushes. But I’m taking a different approach. I’ve always been a big fan of drugstore beauty products and rarely splurge on expensive makeup or skincare. And when a big sale like this comes along, I use it as an opportunity to grab all of my go-to products for less. In fact, I approach it with the same thinking I apply to shopping for my pantry: When one of my staples go on sale, I’ll get a few. With that in mind, I’m stocking up on three favorites from Cerave. My dermatologist turned me onto this drugstore brand that’s affordable, yet effective. Not surprisingly, my doctor endorsed it because everything is developed by fellow dermatologists, and that’s how I discovered the brand’s incredibly gentle, but thorough cream to foam cleanser. While most facial cleansers make your skin feel tight and dry, this one actually hydrates as it cleans. And it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. To buy: $17 (was $19); amazon.com. Cerave’s vitamin C serum and its skin renewing night cream are also going for a special bundle deal while the sale lasts. The now-$41 combo features two of my favorite everyday products. The vitamin C serum defends my skin from pollution and other free radicals, and it layers beautifully under my sunscreen and makeup. And I always go through several tubs of the face cream during the cold and dry winter months. It’s the best budget-friendly intensive moisturizer I’ve found to date. To buy: $41 (was $51); amazon.com. And speaking of winter prep, everyone needs Aquaphor at the ready. This incredibly versatile ointment serves many purposes. It can be used to treat cracked hands, dry cuticles, cuts, and blisters. It’s a great way to tame flyaway hairs, too. I use it in lieu of lip balm or chapstick, finding that it’s the only beauty product I’ve ever used that actually heals my dry, flaky lips. I love the healthy glow it gives my lips so much that I’ve stopped wearing lipstick altogether. I’ve also used it to treat and prevent nosebleeds that tend to become more frequent in the winter. To buy: $15 (was $24); amazon.com. And when it comes to makeup, there are a few deals that caught my eye. Honest Beauty’s crème cheek blush, which provides a subtle and natural-looking dewy glow, is going for less. Everything from the brand is clean and made without icky ingredients, so I feel great about using this creamy blush on my face. And unlike powders, it doesn’t cake, accentuate fine lines, or look clown-like. To buy: $11 (was $16); amazon.com. To buy: $7 with coupon (was $9); amazon.com. To buy: $7 (was $13); amazon.com.
