Just when you thought the Prime Early Access Sale was your last chance to save this year, Amazon drops the Holiday Beauty Haul 2022

First, they brought us Prime Day. Then, they brought us the Prime Early Access Sale. And now? Well, now they’ve got us downright giddy with the Amazon Beauty Haul 2022! These are the kind of buzzy picks that any beauty lover (including, ahem, ourselves) will adore, so not only are we filling out own bathrooms and makeup bags, we’re getting a ton of holiday shopping done, too.

The Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul only runs through November 6, so we’ve put together a list of just a few of our favorites to get you started on the right foot. From the most viral hair tool we’ve seen to a decadent perfume scent that’ll have everyone asking, “What perfume is that?”, we’ve found it all. And it wouldn’t be an Amazon sale without their famous Lightning Deals, so make sure you’re keeping a close eye on those, too!

MakeUp Eraser

One of our favorite, can't-live-without products is the MakeUp Eraser. It 100% lives up to the hype: remove makeup, including mascara, foundation, waterproof whatever, with just water. Now, you can use your favorite makeup remover along with it, of course, but either way, your skin will thank you for the gentle treatment the MakeUp Eraser offers (instead of, y'know, scrubbing it till it's raw). It also comes in a bunch of colors if orange isn't your cup of tea.

MakeUp Eraser ($20 $14) Here

Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo & Conditioner Bundle

Attention, blonde babes, grey goddesses, and white wow-ers: Shimmer Lights is going to change your life. The violet shampoo and conditioner neutralize brassiness that can occur without depositing color (meaning you're not going to end up with purple hair). Just make sure you follow the directions to get your best results, but this blonde editor swears by Shimmer Lights!

Clairol Shimmer Lights Shampoo & Conditioner Bundle ($31.98 $21.04) Here

KORRES Black Sugar Eau de Toilette

It can be a crapshoot buying scents online, but listen: KORRES Black Sugar smells like grown-up candy. It's a blend of spun sugar, rosewood, amber, and soft vanilla. Think of a cross between cotton candy and warm air. Point is, if you're going to take a risk with personal scents, this is the one to do it with!

KORRES Black Sugar Eau de Toilette ($54 $49.50) Here

Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand

The glow that dermaplaning gives is pretty much unmatched! If you've never had the experience, all dermaplaning does is removes the fine hairs on your face along with exfoliating your skin.

Revlon ColorStay Pencil Eyeliner 2-Pack

We've found that ColorStay eyeliner is just as good, if not better, than some of the pricier brands out there. It's waterproof, smudge-proof, and wears for 24 hours. Now, why you'd need to wear eyeliner for 24 hours, we don't know. But the option is there!

Revlon ColorStay Pencil Eyeliner 2-Pack ($9.99 $7.90) Here

This isn’t a dry shampoo, so stick with us here: this is a texturizing powder that gives instant lift and volume no matter where you apply it! It's clear so it won't leave any white cast on dark hair, and a tiny bit goes a long, long way. You'll wonder how you did without it before!

BIG Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder ($35.25 $31.73) Here 

FHI Heat Handleless All-in-One Professional Blow Dryer

We may love the “hair dryer” track on the White Noise album our kids listen to at bedtime, but that doesn’t mean we’re wild about the real thing waking them up at 6 a.m. If you’re tired of rocking the unwashed mom-bun, Dyson’s got a new solution.

Dyson is coming out with a lightweight and nearly silent hair dryer called Supersonic. It has a smaller motor than a traditional hair dryer, and it’s placed in the handle, closer to the hand, rather than the head. This means no more arm strain, and it’s healthier for your hair!

It sticks, it stays and even when you manage to peel off it off, a sticker can leave behind unwanted textures. While we can’t prevent our little ninjas from sticking stickers on walls, windows, glass or tables, we can help you erase any trace so that your surfaces look brand new. Read on for tips on removing sticker residue.

Getting stickers off metal. Peeling off the sticker should be no problem, but the residue is often a surprising task. Use oil to rub away the sticky parts and then wipe away the oil with vinegar.

Getting stickers off glass. Try heating the sticker with a hair dryer (or soaking it in hot water) to get the glue to melt. If it doesn’t come right off, then believe it or not, peanut butter is a tried and true method with saying goodbye to the leftover sticky bits.

Getting stickers off wood. Tackle the sticker with the hairdryer to get as much of the sticker off as possible. Depending on the type of wood you have, use rubbing alcohol (hand sanitizer works too) or eucalyptus/vegetable oil.

Getting stickers off painted walls or wallpaper. Since heat or water might ruin the wall, use a knife or credit card to remove the sticker carefully. Then dab at the remaining residue with masking tape until it’s no longer sticky. Use a little hot water if you need to get the whole process going.

Getting stickers off your kids. A simple bath should work!

There’s just something about rainbows—Kermit the Frog knew it and we do too. With a certain lucky day fast approaching, it’s time to celebrate! Instead of going green this year, it’s all about the most clever (and colorful) hiding spot of all (never could find that pot of gold!). From melting crayon art to watercolors and windcatchers, scroll down to discover cool ideas for helping those little leprechauns of yours discover a real rainbow connection.

Melting Rainbows
It’s a science experiment and art class all rolled into one. Meg Duerksen and her crew tried their hand at the colorful creation and the results were awesome. With just a little hot glue (to keep the crayons on the canvas) a hair dryer and a steady hand, watch the oozing and goozing turn into amazing. Don’t want to buy a whole new box of Crayola? Downsize and use broken crayon bits instead. Find out why it’s best to leave out brown by paying a visit to Meg Duerksen.

St. Patrick’s Day Crown
She’ll be queen of St. Patrick’s day with a pipe cleaner crown.

Krissy of B-Inspired Mama shares with us why it’s not just art, it’s a fine motor skill workout too!
