10 Under-$50 Fashion and Beauty Staples I’m Buying Ahead of Amazon’s Fall Prime Sale

Many of us wait for Amazon’s Prime Day to make big purchases. You know, the ones we can’t justify buying full-price, like that pair of headphones or the stunning (but kind of expensive) lamp that’s been living in our wishlist. But it’s also an excellent time to stock up on already-affordable staples that are now even cheaper

With Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days just a few hours away, the retailer has already marked down thousands of items — so why not get a head start? Whether you want to stretch your Prime Day budget or simply restock a few everyday favorites, there are plenty of under-$50 deals available now —  including an anti-aging cream with more than 19,000 five-star ratings and 66 percent off the perfect fall sweater.

The Drop Edith V-Neck Sweater

The best under-$50 deal I discovered is on this cozy fall sweater from The Drop, which is currently 66 percent off in every color (though I’m personally partial to the Oprah-inspired sky blue shade). The V-neck style features puffed, pleated shoulders that add an elegant touch to the otherwise classic knit, with shoppers raving that it’s “super cute.” “[It’s] stretchy, soft, and stylish,” wrote one customer who added that the material is “so soft it feels like a blanket.” According to another fan, this sweater looks good “all day” and feels good, too, deeming it “buttery soft.”

Levi’s Wedgie Straight Jeans

If I had a dime for every time someone recommended the Levi’s Wedgie Straight Jeans, I’d have well over a dollar — so I’m making sure to snag a pair while it’s just $45. Everyone I’ve spoken to swears that this high-rise, straight-leg style is as flattering as it gets — and it seems shoppers agree. “These jeans are so flattering and stylish,” wrote a customer who was obsessed with how the snug-fitting jeans “accentuated” their “curves.”  Another person said they “fit like a dream,”  adding that the 40-percent-off jeans “hold their shape and maintain their support” while never slipping. 

RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream

RoC’s Retinol Wrinkle Cream boasts more than 19,000 perfect five-star ratings at Amazon, and right now it’s 36 percent off. This cream is formulated with glycerin and retinol to hydrate skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles; shoppers attest that they’ve “noticed improvement” in their wrinkles in just two weeks. “I bought this item a few weeks ago and let me tell you, it works,” wrote a 64-year-old customer who noted that their “deep wrinkles are diminishing every day, [their] 11 lines are almost gone,” and that their “complexion [has] never looked better.”

Rather than using this Prime Big Deal Days to splurge on one on-sale item, I’m instead grabbing a number of under-$50 fashion and beauty staples. Below, shop more deals starting at just $16 before they’re gone.
