The weather is getting a little warmer, the daylight is lasting longer and it seems everyone is itching to shrug off their coats and scarves, signalling that a season switch is soon to come. For beauty, this means big business, as heavyweight moisturisers are often swapped for lightweight lotions, fake tan picks up in popularity and SPF becomes much more important (although, we should all be using it year-round).
Spring is also the season for standout sales, meaning you don’t have to spend a fortune buying a whole host of new products. One brand we’re hoping is going to treat us to some stellar savings in the next couple of months is Amazon, which hosted its first Spring Sale shopping event in March 2023.
An often underrated treasure trove for beauty products, Amazon is home to some of the best brands in the business, from Olaplex and ghd to Elemis. Of course, it isn’t just beauty we’re hoping will be brought into the bargain bucket, but home appliances, tech and TVs, too. Whether you’re in the market for any grooming products or even a homeware refresh, the spring sales could be the time to shop.
Below, we’ve listed all the beauty bargains available on Amazon right now. Plus, we’ve also included details of the online giant’s potential price-slashing event. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we hear more but, for now, keep reading below for the latest news.

When is the Amazon Spring Sale 2024 and how long will it last?
Amazon’s Spring Sale is a shopping event that first launched in 2023. While the retailer is yet to announce if it will be bringing the sales bonanza back for another year, the IndyBest team is hoping it will make a return, with savings across all categories, from home and tech to beauty and fashion.
Right now, we really don’t know too much about when, or even if, Amazon is planning to host the price-slashing event again but we do have last year to go by. Amazon’s 2023 spring sale started at 6pm on Monday 27 March and ran right through to 11:59pm on Wednesday 29 March, offering a good few days to bag a bargain. Will we see something similar in 2024? Only time will tell.
What kinds of deals on beauty products can we expect in the Amazon Spring Sale?
Looking at last year’s Amazon Spring Sale, there was an impressive number of beauty deals to pick up, including the Rimmel extra 3D lash volumising mascara (was £4.99, now £3.85, Amazon.co.uk), which was reduced to £2.80. Meanwhile, the This Works deep sleep pillow spray (Was £21, now £20, Amazon.co.uk) was reduced to £16.80, and the Revlon salon one-step hair dryer and volumiser (was £62.99, now £37, Amazon.co.uk) was reduced to £35. Prices were slashed across almost every beauty category, from skincare and haircare to make-up and more. If Amazon does bring the event back for 2024, we predict there will be equally as brilliant bargains.

Named best overall in our round-up of the best acne spot stickers, the Mighty Patch original is quite the pimple buster. “What we loved about these spots is firstly, there are thicker ones and invisible stickers – depending on whether you’re wearing them day or night; at home or out and about,” shared our tester. They added, “what truly made Hero’s acne stickers nab the top spot was that after using them, you could really see the pus and moisture on the sticker [...] this really showed that without drying out the spots, these aptly named ‘mighty patches’ really do God’s work.” So a saving of 20 per cent seems like quite the steal on these must-have buys.
