If you're anything like me, you get major shopping FOMO during mega-sales like Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. When there are thousands of deals to pick from, I want to know which ones other people are buying—what if there's an ahh-mazing sale I'm missing out on?! To cure my Prime Day FOMO (the sale ends tonight, after all), I dug into the data and found 15 of the best last-minute October Prime Day deals.

From editor-approved sheet masks and serums to viral kitchen gadgets and Levi's jeans, these are the October Prime Day 2 deals that Cosmo readers and Amazon shoppers are *actually* buying. We don't expect these Amazon sales to last past midnight PST, so finalize your cart now or forever hold your peace. Oh, and did I mention there are a few celeb-loved products on this list?

How do celebs like Paris Hilton and Hailey Bieber maintain a sunkissed glow year-round? Tan-Luxe. Shop fast, and you can score this red carpet secret for under $18.

If there's a TikTok beauty product on your wishlist, it's worth checking if it's on sale for October Prime Day. With cold weather around the corner, now's the time to upgrade your routine with a few viral skincare finds. Cosmo editors and readers can't get enough of this Biodance sheet mask.

"I'm speaking my truth: This viral TikTok sheet mask is fully worth the hype," says Beth Gillette, beauty editor. "It makes my skin soooo dewy and plump after one use, and all I have to do is put it on overnight. Easy peasy."

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)

AirPods Pro (2nd Gen)

What Apple tech deal is everyone buying this Prime Day? According to the numbers, it's these 2nd Generation AirPods Pro.

"The only other time this AirPods Pro model has been this price was during Prime Day in July. They've historically sold out before the end of the second day of Prime Day, so I'm surprised they're still in stock," says Jaimie Potters, senior commerce manager. "This is a deal that's worth acting on ASAP."

This Kindle Scribe has only been under $300 once before, so if you've been considering a new tablet, now's the time to treat yourself. The 2-in-1 device doubles as a Kindle and a digital notebook, so it's particularly great for students.

Apparently, Amazon shoppers have been spending a lot of time on TikTok. The Top 100 Deals tab includes viral kitchen gadgets like this Ninja CREAMi ice cream maker that the Cosmo team gave two thumbs up.

"I loooove the Ninja CREAMi to make all of my sweet treat concoctions," says Jasmine Hyman, assistant shopping editor. "In the mood for some froyo? There's a button for that. Craving sorbet? There's an option for that, too! Simply throw in your fave ingredients and let the gadget do the work for ya."

If you're going to buy one perfume during Prime Big Deal Days, make it this Billie Eilish eau de parfum. The warm, ambery scent is an editor favorite, as is the sculptural bottle. It's under $40, so what have you really got to lose?

"I get so many compliments every time I wear this perfume because the scent throw is unreal," says Christen Johnson, lifestyle editor.

Few Amazon beauty products have received as much fanfare as this COSRX snail mucin essence. If you've yet to try it for yourself (or need a restock), join the thousands of other Amazon shoppers who are grabbing this slugging serum while it's half-off.

"Dare I say, this essence makes me look like a juicy, dewy lil slug crawling through the garden. But like, in the best way, of course," says Gillette. "It's somehow lightweight but also makes my skin look impeccably glowy."

Sure, Amazon may have some i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e Dyson deals today, but not everyone can fork over $300-something for a hair dryer. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, try this deeply discounted Conair blow dryer that comes with a free round brush.

"If you're looking for quick results without major damage, you've gotta try this quiet-but-powerful bb from Conair," says Siena Gagliano, associate editor. "It uses ionic technology to reduce frizz and flyaways, as well as ceramic-coated coils to protect hair with gentle infrared heat."

Do you know what superstar loves this Laneige lip balm? Charli XCX. Probably because it offers allllll the hydration of the brand's OG lip mask in packaging that's easier and more hygienic to apply on the go.
