Another month, another Amazon event. This time, the Amazon Summer Beauty Event is happening now through Mother’s Day (May 11, in case you forgot!).

I also found oral-care essentials that have been marked down, like our favorite water flosser and an electric toothbrush that will last you for years.

Best Cut Beauty Closet Product Deals
Earlier this year, the Cut style team gave the world a peek into our beauty closet with a list of our top 100 products. It features Cut reader and staff favorites, as well as things our beauty-obsessed Auto-Refill interviewees can’t shut up about. Some of those top-notch picks are on sale, and I’ve rounded them up below.
This CC cream gives full coverage yet looks glowy and natural on the skin — plus provides extra sun protection.
$21
Dermatologists and beauty editors alike recommend this drugstore eye cream, which smooths fine lines around the eyes with retinol. Reviewers also appreciate its lightweight texture and how quickly it sinks into the skin.
$15
Affordable, talc-free and lightly scented, this dry shampoo checks all the boxes.
You don’t have to go to Europe to find one of our favorite makeup removers.

Best K-Beauty Deals
It wasn’t always like this, but so many incredible Korean brands are available on Amazon these days. Quite a few K-beauty heroes are discounted for the event,and notable options include the lip balm version of the beyond famous Laneige lip mask, a TikTok-viral Medicube face mask, and a CosRx serum.
If it goes viral on TikTok, chances are it’s good. This collagen mask is no exception. It’s a favorite for overnight glass skin since it locks in moisture.
$31
COSRX’s hydrating, glow-inducing, skin-healing essence earned a spot in the Cut Beauty Closet, which is basically our Hall of Fame of beauty products. This set includes that original formula as well as ten snail-mucin-soaked sheet masks for when your skin needs an extra boost.
$12
There are countless videos online of people peeling off this mask to reveal plump, glasslike skin. The formula harnesses collagen, ceramides, and adenosine to smooth fine lines and increase elasticity.
This is a scalp treatment that doubles as a lightweight conditioner; it exfoliates and hydrates the scalp to encourage hair growth while moisturizing strands. I’ve also found that it helps mitigate dandruff.
New Face, Who This?
Best Skin-Care Deals
In case that wasn’t enough skin care for you, here are some other top-notch products that we’ve waxed poetic about before — including Pharrell Williams’s dermatologist’s bakuchiol serum of choice.
$175
Dermatologist Dr. Elena Jones has been treating Pharrell Williams for over 20 years, and her skin looks as flawless as his. When she doesn’t use retinol, she goes for this serum, which contains a gentler alternative called bakuchiol.
$8
This derm-recommended brand uses zinc oxide to block the sun’s rays. It’s ideal for sensitive skin.
$8
Your body also deserves good skin care, and you need it if you have eczema. This steroid-free lotion treats the itching and dryness that comes with the skin condition.
$32
This shower oil also helps lock in moisture if you have the driest, most sensitive skin.
$29
The people in my life who love this cream use this and only this. To be fair, it has everything you want in a reliable, everyday moisturizer: a lightweight texture, a non-pore-clogging formula, and calming ingredients.
$50
$50
This serum delivers hydration, gentle exfoliation, and a plumping effect with a host of potent ingredients, including vitamin C, peptides, and AHA.

Best Beauty Tool Deals
Your serum might run out after a month or two, but beauty tools will stay with you a whole lot longer. Our readers’ favorite lash curler, an expert-recommended hair straightener, and a social-media-famous wet-to-dry styler are all discounted at the moment.
$9
This compact eyelash curler is perfect for travel. After all, you never know when your lashes will need an extra lift.
Solawave’s wand is one of the most compact, travel-friendly LED devices out there. It’s not hands-free like a regular mask, but it’s a more affordable choice that allows you to target certain areas of the face.
$146
GHD makes some of the best hair tools on the market — period. They can be pricey, but they’re well worth it considering how well they work and last. Straightening my hair with a GHD device takes about five minutes tops.
$6
You don’t have to fork over a ton of money to get quality makeup brushes, and this one is a prime example. Makeup artist Amber Amos loves using it to apply and blend out cream and liquid foundations.
$29
Touted as a budget-friendly alternative to more expensive wet-to-dry stylers, this device has earned a cult following of its own thanks to the salon-worthy blowouts it helps even beginners achieve.
$300
With time and patience, an at-home IPL laser can significantly reduce hair growth, and this Braun device is one of the best-selling options on Amazon.
Chew on this
Best Oral-Care Deals
As someone who has had a lot of cavities in her life, I’m obsessed with taking care of my teeth and making sure everyone else in my life does, too. Kindred oral-care-loving spirits will appreciate the following deals as much as I do. Below, find the Waterpik Water Flosser, which we rave about all the time, and a Philips Sonicare Electric Toothbrush (if you don’t have an electric toothbrush yet, this is the time to invest!).
$70
This clinched the No. 1 spot in our water flosser roundup for multiple reasons: It’s portable, waterproof, and holds more than enough water to take care of all your teeth.
$170
I’m a Philips Sonicare loyalist. Its options are relatively quiet, easy to clean, and look sleek and polished. My teeth are so clean I get nods of approval every time I visit the dentist.
Crest makes one our favorite whitening strips, but for regular maintenance, this toothpaste is a great choice. The formula also features fluoride for cavity prevention.
