Amazon’s second Prime Day-like sale of the year, Prime Big Deal Days, is here, which means there are deals galore right now.
For two days starting October 10, Amazon is offering thousands of Black Friday level deals across every department. And if that sounds overwhelming, don’t fret. As Real Simple’s shopping editor, I did all of the research for you and, in the process, filled my own cart with markdowns on beauty, home, and fashion items that were simply too good to pass up.

The sale features impressive savings on par with Black Friday deals, with discounts on pricier items and investments like smart televisions, Apple tech, and designer clothing. But it’s also a great time to stock up on everyday items, which is why I’m getting a two-pack of my favorite L'Oréal Paris' Lash Paradise mascara that I’ve used every day for seven years. With just a few swipes, it gives me long and thick lashes
The popular item has racked up 20,000 five-star ratings from fellow fans that call it the “best mascara on the market.” More than 20,000 shoppers have purchased it over the last month alone, so if you’re ready to see what the hype is about, get it now while it’s marked down.

I’m also grabbing a pair of Pavoi’s flat back earrings, which I already own and wear every day. The flat back design prevents the posts from poking your skin, making them comfortable enough to wear while sleeping. They don’t budge through strenuous workouts, and the gold doesn’t fade or tarnish, despite sweating and showering in them. Sometimes I leave them in for weeks at a time, so I’m grabbing another pair to add to my rotation.

And on the fashion front, I also can’t resist Hepcelt’s khaki vegan leather handbag. The high-quality, soft leather and woven design make it look like a timeless, high-end designer piece, but it’s just $39 while this deal lasts. I know that I’ll wear this warm neutral accessory with outfits across all seasons, ranging from casual to polished. And its timeless look ensures I can wear it now and for years to come.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days also includes discounts on several more editor-loved products, including the pasta bowl “blates” that I rave about to everyone I know, the noise canceling Apple AirPods Pro that I use every day, and the Sharecook kitchen utensils that received droves of compliments from dinner guests.
