Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days may have officially come to an end but you still have chance to snap up some beauty bargains. From skincare and makeup to haircare, body care and fragrance, the post-Amazon Prime Day offers are still abundant, meaning you can still score top-tier products for less. Whether you’re treating dry skin with a hyaluronic acid serum or upgrading your styling tools, there are still discounts to be had.

Over the past few days, some of the best Amazon Prime Day deals included big savings on brands such as Elemis, ghd and Medik8 – and there’s still time to shop some of those big brands in the aftermath of the sale. As The Independent’s beauty writer, I’ve rounded up the best remaining discounts across viral, budget-friendly and luxury picks, all tried and tested by IndyBest’s expert team, or hailing from trusted brands.

Looking beyond beauty? The team has also tracked down lingering deals on Apple devices, heated airers and more.

The best beauty deals that are still live after the Amazon Prime Day sale

Elemis pro collagen cleansing balm

Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm

One of my favourite products of all-time, the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm currently has 33 per cent off in the post-Amazon Prime Day deals. An indulgent formula, it melts away waterproof mascara and stubborn brow gels with minimal effort and includes moisturising ingredients such as sweet almond, oat and coconut oils to nourish your skin. In her roundup of the best cleansers, IndyBest reviewer Ella Duggan said the balm left her skin feeling “smooth” with a “velvety texture”.

St. Tropez gradual tan firming lotion

When senior shopping writer (and self-confessed tan addict) Daisy Lester reviewed the best gradual tans, she called St. Tropez's firming lotion “a stellar multitasker”. The formula sets out to tighten skin with a potent mix of hyaluronic acid, algae and antioxidants, and it’s great "for layering over an existing (natural or fake) tan, to prolong glow”. It's reduced by almost 31 per cent post-Prime Day.

best creams for psoriasis Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream indybest

Kiehl's ultra facial cream

Kiehl’s best-selling ultra facial cream is currently reduced by 20 per cent. As if that wasn't enticing enough, this product has been dermatologist-recommended. When speaking with Dr Cherry Armstrong in my guide to the best creams for psoriasis, I discovered that the oatmeal in this gentle moisturiser provides "soothing relief from itchiness and irritation," according to Dr Armstrong. Plus, you'll reap the skin-loving benefits of squalane, avocado oil and salicylic acid.

Best face tanners IndyBest review Tan Luxe the face self-tan drops

Tan Luxe the face self-tan drops

The Tan Luxe facial tanning drops earned a five-star rating from senior shopping writer Daisy Lester in her guide to the best face tanners. Outlining how the formula boasts both bronzing and skincare benefits, Daisy highlighted how it “works to strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity and firmness, and hydrate and soothe”. She also drew attention to the formula's caramel guide colour, which makes it “incredibly easy to apply”. With 25 per cent off in Amazon's post-Prime Day sale, you can still maintain that summer glow through autumn and winter.

Best night cream IndyBest review The Inkey List bio-active ceramide repairing and plumping moisturiser

The Inkey List bio-active ceramide moisturiser

One of the best affordable moisturisers going, The Inkey List claims its bio-active ceramide moisturiser will improve the appearance of fine lines and prevent water loss. When testing it in her review of the best night creams, beauty writer Louise Whitbread found herself reaching for it to calm mild irritation after using retinol. She was impressed with its lightweight, silky texture and found it even took well to oily skin, despite the use of shea butter (which is notoriously dry skin-friendly). Save 33 per cent on the product today.

indybest review Ghd rise volumising hot brush

Ghd rise volumising hot brush

If you haven’t seen the ghd rise on social media, then consider this your sign to take a deep dive into all the ways it can style your locks, from bouncy curls to soft, tousled waves. When hair aficionado Chloë James tested it in a comparison of the ghd rise and Dyson airwrap, she remarked how her “hair stayed wavy and bouncy late into the evening” after using the hair tool. While it takes a little bit of practice to get the process down pat, a saving of £39 makes it more enticing to invest.

best black friday boots deals philips lumea 8000 series IPL indybest

Philips lumea 8000 series, IPL hair removal device

The Philips lumea IPL devices are hailed by beauty buffs as a great at-home alternative to in-salon laser hair removal. While our team hasn’t reviewed the 8000 model, beauty editor Lucy Partington has tried the newer 9000 variety, which featured in her review of the best IPL devices. She described the device as “sleek, comfortable to hold and easy to manoeuvre around different areas of the body”. While there are slight differences between the 8000 and 9000 models – fewer attachments and a corded design – Lucy assures us that the core technology “delivers on its promises, providing a convenient and effective at-home hair removal solution”. With a generous £120 discount, now's your chance to ditch the razor in favour of something more long-lasting.

indybest review Cloud Nine the airshot hair dryer

Cloud Nine the airshot hair dryer

Cloud Nine’s airshot hair dryer currently has £39 off after the Amazon Prime Day bonanza. When I tested it in my roundup of the best hair dryers, I found that the device left my hair in great condition, with the “shafts of my styled hair appearing sealed from the roots to the ends". It includes two types of concentrator nozzle to suit different hair thicknesses and is, as I deduced, “a solid all-rounder".

Best SPF for face IndyBest review Biore UV aqua rich water essence sunscreen SPF 50

Biore UV aqua rich water essence sunscreen SPF 50

If you’re loving a bit of K-beauty at the moment, then you need to join the J-beauty (Japanese beauty) bandwagon. Biore’s UV aqua rich SPF is a perfect example of everything the Japanese market is doing right, with its lightweight, gentle and – most importantly – effective formula. When I tested it as part of my cheap beauty products round-up, I concluded that “barrier health is at the heart of the formula, with a combination of vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and amino acids.” With 33 per cent off post-Prime Day, this SPF will leave you in good standing to protect your skin against UVA and UVB. Yes, even in winter.

Mugler alien eau de parfum

Mugler alien is one of the perfume greats, from its distinctive woody aroma to its unique indigo bottle. For those that aren’t familiar, the fragrance is at once floral and ambery, with elements of both warm cashmeran and bright jasmine. The result? A heady scent that lends itself perfectly to the party season. Save 20 per cent on a bottle right now at Amazon.

Real Techniques expert face makeup brush

This is perhaps the brand’s most popular tool. Alongside its miracle complexion sponge (also reduced as a pack of four: was £19.99, now £12.99, Amazon.co.uk), these makeup applicators ensure a smooth and seamless face base. Now, with a 26 per cent discount, its price just got even more competitive.

Paula's Choice clinical pro retinaldehyde dual-retinoid treatment

Paula’s Choice champions hardworking, effective skincare – and its pro retinaldehyde treatment is no exception. Using two types of vitamin A to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, this pre-moisturiser step is a popular pick in the anti-ageing market. Testing the potent formula in her guide to the best retinol creams and serums, beauty editor Lucy Partington told readers that the dual-retinoid is “an excellent option for anyone looking to bridge the gap between beginner and advanced retinol products.” She commended its minimal irritation, which she put down to the “added soothing ingredients, such as allantoin, liquorice root extract and a blend of peptides.” If your routine is lacking in the youth-boosting department, consider this 21 per cent discount your sign to invest

Dyson nural supersonic hair dryer

Dyson nural supersonic hair dryer

The Dyson supersonic nural hair dryer has received a rare 25 per cent off that’s continued beyond the Amazon Prime Day sales, so if you've been wanting to invest, now's the time to do it. Having launched last year, the nural model uses sensors and other smart features to automatically adjust heat based on distance from the scalp, improving moisture retention and preventing heat damage. Featuring in IndyBest’s roundup of the best hairdryers, our tester, who has afro hair, said: "I found it to be an absolute game changer. It also dries hair ultra fast due to its powerful airflow. With it, I could easily blow dry my medium-length afro hair in less than 10 minutes." I also tested the tool on my type 1 hair, and found that my locks were left smoothed and healthy-looking.

Emma Hardie moringa cleansing balm, 100g

Emma Hardie moringa cleansing balm, 100g

This is one of the most popular cleansing balms on the market, but at its normal price of £50, it’s something of an investment. That's why I was pleased to see that it’s currently on sale with 25 per cent off. This deal is definitely worth your attention – especially as it includes this cleansing cloth set. In her review, our tester, Louise Whitbread, described the scent as “a spa in a jar”, and praised the fact that the balm lasts a long time. She wrote: “We typically use a 10 pence-sized amount, which is plenty to cover your face and neck for a thorough cleanse.”

Murad nutrient-charged water gel Amazon Prime Day deal

Murad nutrient-charged water gel

In my review of the best moisturisers for oily skin, I found Murad’s nutrient-charged water gel the best for anti-ageing. A little goes a long way, and the formula is smoothing and absorbs quickly. I was also impressed by its wide-ranging list of skin-loving ingredients, which work to brighten and tighten the skin. Right now, you can save more than 30 per cent on the price.

Maybelline sky high lash sensational mascara prime day

Maybelline lash sensational sky high mascara

Now is the perfect time to stock up on Maybelline's Lash Sensational mascara, as it currently has more than 40 per cent off in the post-Amazon Prime Day cool down. IndyBest's assistant editor, Sarah Jones, called it her "everyday go-to", saying: "The wand is extremely flexible with a conical shape that makes it ideal for getting to hard-to-reach areas and easy to manoeuvre from all angles with minimal mess." She also praised the formula, saying that "after a full day of wear, not even a rogue flake could be found".

Elemis pro collagen eye revive mask Amazon Prime Day deal

Elemis pro collagen eye revive mask

In IndyBest’s guide to the best eye creams, Elemis’s pro collagen eye revive mask was dubbed the best overnight option, and hailed for seeing speedy results. “You can use this in the morning to brighten tired eyes, before party makeup to plump the skin around the eyes, or, for best results, sleep after applying this as a deeply restorative treatment”, our tester said. With this post-Prime Day deal, there's 25 per cent off the price of the formula.

COSRX advanced snail 96 mucin power essence Amazon Prime Day

COSRX advanced snail 96 mucin power essence

I tested a range of formulas in my COSRX skincare review, but I found this one to be the best for dealing with angry, irritated skin. It contains hyaluronic acid, which leaves your skin feeling hydrated, while the snail mucin is said to boost luminosity and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Admittedly, it's hard to know whether the plumpness and reduction in nasolabial creasing I saw in my skin was only down to this product, but I definitely saw an immediate glow and healthy sheen after applying it. This deal sees the formula reduced to less than £20.

The best of the rest:

Why you can trust IndyBest to find the best beauty deals post Amazon Prime Day

As seasoned shopping experts, here at IndyBest, we know a thing or two about what makes a good deal. We’ve been writing about sales – Amazon Prime Day included – for years, and can distinguish a great discount from a dud. My experience as a beauty expert (having tried and tested hundreds of products) means I can help you make informed decisions about the products you’re considering snapping up during and after the sale. If you’re on the lookout for a new hair dryer, perfume or silk pillowcase, I’ve reviewed all the best (and worst) ones, so I’ll point you in the direction of the top brands and deals.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon’s member-exclusive beauty deals started on Tuesday 7 October and finished on Wednesday 8 October. The online retailer’s October sales event was called Prime Big Deal Days, and unlike its four-day summer sale, we only had 48 hours to shop the best beauty deals. That said, even now that the sale has come to an end, I’m still spotting some stellar deals across makeup, skincare and more.

What beauty brands take part in the Amazon Prime Day sale?

This year, Amazon’s Prime Day beauty deals provided the chance to snap up your favourite brands – from Dyson hair tools to Paula’s Choice skincare – for less. These reductions were solely for Prime members but, now that the sale’s over, anyone can take advantage of the remaining deals. Even with both of this year’s events now under our belts, I’ll still be keeping my eyes peeled for more reductions popping up as the dust settles after Amazon’s two-day beauty bargains bonanza.
