Amazon Prime Day 2024 live: Top UK offers on sale today

Must read

Save big this Prime Day with our pick of the top discounts (The Independent)

Look alive, deal hunters, we’re now on to the second (and final) day of Amazon’s 48-hour October Prime Day sale, the Prime member-exclusive sale that sees deals on everything from Apple tech and TVs to vacuum cleaners and beauty products.

Whether you’re looking for a new air fryer, searching for cult favorite skincare and make-up, or browsing the best bargains on the retailer’s own devices, shoppers have until 23:59 tonight to get their Prime Day shopping done before the sale draws to a close.

And, true to form, our shopping experts have been picking out the very best deals on everything from laptops and heated airers to dehumidifiers, household essentials and electric toothbrushes, to make sure that you bag the best savings throughout the event.

Some of the best savings I’ve seen so far have included a brilliant deal on the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, which have been slashed to their lowest ever price. I’ve also seen stellar deals on a Ninja dual zone air fryer, Le Creuset’s cast iron casserole dish and Amazon’s Echo Dot speaker.

To keep you constantly updated, I’m busy looking for the very best discounts throughout the sale. But remember, you need to be a Prime subscriber if you want to take part.

COSRX’s skincare is on sale this Prime Day

While COSRX’s skincare has been around for a little while, it’s only quite recently taken off in TikTok. Keen to try it? Quite a few of its products are on sale at Amazon, including the advanced snail 96 mucin power essence. While I’m yet to try it, The Independent‘s Lucy Smith has; read her thoughts below.

“Though it is very slimy – as you’d expect – COSRX’s hero snail 96 mucin essence requires only a small drop to treat the whole face”, she said. “It leaves the skin feeling as though it’s had a generous drink of water, thanks to humectant (water-attracting) hyaluronic acid, and feels ever so slightly creamy despite its transparent liquid appearance.”

There’s 70% off this pet parent-approved cat camera

Calling all pet parents, this is a fantastic discount that both you and your furry friend will appreciate. Furbo’s 360 cat camera (aka, a treat-tossing surveillance tool) is now cheaper than it was during the Prime Day sale in July. I’ve not tried the tool myself, but it’s been tried and tested by Helen and her cat, Star.

In her review of the Furbo cat camera, Helen said that it was a nifty device “that offers an extensive view of your pet and living space”. She added that it was “simple to use, looks aesthetically pleasing in situ and provides an array of cat-watching features.”

Maybelline’s sky high mascara is a beauty writer favourite – and it’s half-price

Maybelline’s sky high mascara (was £12.99, now £5.99, Amazon.co.uk) had a major moment on TikTok, and our writers love it too. Happily, whether you’re a fan or just keen to see what the fuss is about, Amazon’s slashed its price in half. Olivia, one of our beauty writers, has written her ode to the viral lash-transforming mascara below:

There’s more than £200 off this Nespresso coffee machine

If, like me, you’ve been considering investing in an at-home pod coffee machine for a little while now, let me turn your attention to this £200 off deal on a Nespresso machine.

Save £100 on this kind-sized mattress

Tired of sleeping on a lumpy, rubbish mattress? Prime Day is a great time to invest in a new one, and this king mattress from tried and tested brand Nectar is on sale.

Nectar king mattress: Was £519.6, now £408.79, Amazon.co.uk

(Nectar)

With £100 off, this king mattress is filled with medium-firm memory foam that contours to the shape of your body. There’s a quilted cooling cover, and five layers within the mattress, including breathable foam to help regulate body temperature. A similar mattress eared a spot in our review, too, so I’d say this is a deal worth your time.

How to get a free Amazon Prime membership

Want to bag the best bargains, but you don’t have a Prime membership? You can start a free 30-day trial right now, and get access to all the Prime-exclusive discounts.

Like the retailer’s original Prime Day sale, you will need Prime to access Prime Day-specific deals, (the ones with the red “Prime Big Deal” button). While there are loads of products on sale that aren’t technically part of the Prime Day sale, I’d still recommend getting Prime for the most impressive discounts. Steve covers everything you need to know in this article below.

Some of my favorite lip balm are in the Prime Day sale

If you’re looking for a new lip balm, I worked my way through a whole host of them for my review, and a couple of my favourites on sale. E45’s lips and dry skin balm (was £8.99, now £5.34, Amazon.co.uk) is just over £5 (was £9.25, now £5.77, Amazon.co.uk) – and there’s a lot in the tube, too, so this is a great value buy. Similarly, Dr. Paw Paw’s overnight lip mask is less than £6 this Prime Day. Looking for more beauty bargains? Lucy, The Independent’s beauty writer has you covered in her article below:

Audible is just 99p for three months

Audible is probably one of the best subscriptions that I have. There’s hundreds of books and podcasts to choose from, but if you’re not quite sure whether it’s worth the £7.99 a month for the subscription, now’s a great time to give it a try, while it’s 99p for the first three months. Sign up here to nab the deal.
