I always switch things up around March. Yes, partly because it’s my birthday month and I’ll take any excuse to treat myself, but also because this is when my routine starts changing naturally. My skin finally begins to recover from winter, the weather gets a bit better, and I stop wanting the thick, heavy formulas that have carried me through the colder months.
This sale has landed at exactly the right moment, because I’m nearly out of so many of my go-to’s. Amazon is where I usually reorder favourites like Maybelline’s Instant Anti-Age Eraser, AESTURA’s ATOBARRIER365 Cream, Medicube’s Pore Pads and Wonderskin’s lip stains – all products I use on repeat. And because Amazon beauty deals can be a bit of a rabbit hole, I’ve done the hard part and narrowed it down to the ones I really think are worth shopping.
How I test beauty products:
Shani Cohen, Glamour’s beauty writer applying her favourite K-Beauty moisturiser.
At Glamour, we test beauty products the way they’re actually used – in real life. That means I – along with my fellow editors and a carefully-selected team of freelance beauty journalists – take every product home and put it through its paces as part of their everyday routines, rather than testing it in a studio, on set or in a lab.
We also know that beauty is never one-size-fits-all, which is why we make a point of testing across a range of skin types, skin tones, hair types and ages wherever possible. A product might work brilliantly on one person and completely differently on another, so we always aim to reflect that in our recommendations. Our job is to give readers reviews that feel honest, useful and realistic – not overly polished or based purely on first impressions.
When Glamour tests a new beauty product, we look at it from every angle. We assess texture, finish, wear time and ease of use, while also reviewing ingredients, scrutinising brand claims and considering whether it actually delivers on what it promises. You can read more about how we test makeup, skincare, haircare, tools, fragrance and beauty devices on our dedicated About Us page.
Why you can trust me:
Shani Cohen, Glamour’s beauty writer testing Medicube’s Zero Pore Pad’s which are on sale right now.
I’ve been a beauty writer for six years now – five at The Mirror and the past year at Glamour – and in that time I’ve covered more Amazon beauty sales than I can count, from Prime Day to the Spring Sale and everything in between. It’s a space I know well, and that experience means I’ve become very good at spotting deals which are genuinely worth adding to that basket, and the ones which are better left behind.
When I’m putting a sale piece like this together, I don’t just add the products because they’re discounted or trending. I compare prices against previous sales, keep an eye on which products actually offer great savings (and if they get reduced further), and focus on brands and formulas that I know, love and use in my own beauty routine.
Every product in this edit has been tested either by me or by a member of the Glamour team over weeks, months or, in some cases, years. We never include something for the sake of it. If it’s in this piece, it’s because we genuinely rate it, would recommend it to a friend and believe it deserves a place in your routine.
