Welcome to the October iteration of Amazon Prime Day aka Prime Big Deal Days, the 48-hour online extravaganza that can feel as overwhelming as it is exciting. In case you don't know where to start shopping first (fair!), we've scoured Amazon for the best of the best so that you don't have to spend half your workday searching for deals and skimming reviews. Between the NuFACE skincare devices, new Apple AirPods, wildly good hair tools, and beloved vacuums, Cosmo editors have found dozens of deals that will rejuvenate every area of your life...and you have limited time left to score 'em!
For the uninitiated, there's a whole other kind of Prime Day deal to be on the hunt for, though. The retailer's lightning deals offer discounts that are usually *almost* too good to be true and run for short periods of time. Each person can only buy a lightning deal once, and the deals go so quickly that we recommend hitting "buy now" instead of "add to cart" before things sell out. Amazon will sometimes even show you what percentage of the inventory has sold out, putting some extra pressure on.
The lightning deals available for this year's Prime Big Deal Days—happening now through the end of the day on October 11, aka TODAY—span all kinds of shopping categories. Whether you're stocking up on fancy accessories like designer watches (that aren't designer prices, for now!), grabbing some new electronics to upgrade your home, or replenishing your pile of comfy leggings for winter, this sale has got you covered.
Ahead, we've rounded up the best lightning deals to know about during the first day of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale that are currently live. And PS, we'll be updating this as we learn of more epic savings.
