Amazon Prime Early Access Sale: Fashion and Beauty Deals Preview

Editor’s Note: This post covers the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale that happened in October 11 and 12. Come back in October of 2023 to see this year’s deals!

You know Amazon sales offer incredible deals, but the most prominent savings opportunities are in electronics and devices, rather than fashion and beauty.

Don’t get me wrong. A steep discount on a Kindle price is awesome…especially if you just decided to buy a Kindle. But we’re here to talk about fashion and beauty. So the question is, will the 2022 Amazon Prime Early Access Sale have savings opportunities for us style-minded ladies? The answer is yes, 100%. And I’d like to talk about how to capture those deals.

Here’s the short version. To save on fashion and beauty items during the Prime Early Access Sale, you should:

1. Be a Prime member. You can sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial if you’re not already a member.
2. Bookmark the Prime Early Access Sale page. That’s where you can preview deals ahead of the sale dates (October 11 and 12).
3. Make a prioritized list. Write down things you need and want, for yourself and for your holiday giftees. Check your Amazon wish list for ideas if you use that feature. You can also explore Amazon’s fashion gift guide here.
4. Set your budget. It’s better to pass up the best deals in the world than spend money you don’t have.

Now, for the long version. Read on to find out more details about Prime membership and the Prime Early Access Sale, including which beauty and fashion deals I’m eyeballing.

What to know about the Prime Early Access Sale

The early access sale is fall’s version of Amazon Prime Day. The sale went live on October 11 and 12. You must be a Prime member to save.

Prime membership perks

I’ve been a Prime member for ages. Back when I joined, free shipping was the selling point. But Amazon has since added tons of value for Prime members, including:

• Free Kindle books via Prime Reading. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can use use the free Kindle app for iOS or Android instead.
