October Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our October Prime Day coverage.
Hear ye, hear ye! We’re halfway through Prime Day, and the deals will be live from now until 2:59 a.m. ET on October 8. It’s my fifth year digging through Prime Day deals, and I’ll be spending the next several days scouring our site and cross-referencing it against the Amazon catalogue to find all the steepest discounts to be had on Strategist-approved products. So far, I’ve spotted lots of markdowns in the appliance space, and I’m impressed by the markdowns on several of our favorite hair tools, including our top blow-dryer brush and one of our favorite hair dryers. It’s always good to see some tried-and-true discounts — like on-sale Verb conditioner and marked-down Laneige — back yet again. (As we say, never buy those full price.)
Per usual, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals, but you can sign up today if aren’t one. And if you’d like to check out all the other deals my colleagues are covering, you can read the rest of our Prime Day coverage here. For even more sales intel, sign up for the Strategist Deal Freaks Daily newsletter.
