The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is on this week – specifically October 11 and 12. You know Amazon sales offer incredible deals, but the most prominent savings opportunities are in electronics and appliances, rather than fashion and beauty.
Do not get me wrong. A big discount on a Kindle price is great… especially if you’ve just decided to buy a Kindle. But we are here to talk about fashion and beauty. So the question is, will the 2022 Amazon Prime Early Access Sale provide savings opportunities for us style-conscious ladies? The answer is yes, 100%. And I’d like to talk about how you can capture those deals.
Here’s the short version. To save on fashion and beauty items during the Prime Early Access Sale, you must:
- Be a Prime member. You can sign up for one free 30-day Prime trial if you are not yet a member.
- Bookmark the Prime Early Access Sale page. There you can view deals ahead of the sale dates (October 11 and 12).
- Make a priority list. Write down things you need and want for yourself and for your holiday gifts. Check your Amazon wish list for ideas if you use that feature. You can also explore Amazon’s fashion gift guide here.
- Set your budget. It’s better to miss out on the best deals in the world than to spend money you don’t have.
Now, for the long version. Read on to learn more about Prime membership and the Prime Early Access Sale, including what beauty and fashion deals I’m looking for.

Prime membership benefits
I’ve been a Prime member for many years. When I joined, free shipping was the selling point. But Amazon has since added a lot of value for Prime members, including:
- Free Kindle books through Prime Reading. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can use the free Kindle app for iOS or Android instead.
- Tons of free TV and movie entertainment through Prime Video.
- Music, podcasts and curated playlists on Amazon Music.
- The ability to try on clothes before you buy them through Amazon Prime Try Before You Buy.
- Discounts for members only.
As mentioned above, you can free 30-day Prime trial here. Regular membership prices are $139 per year or $14.99 per month. However, students get a break. First student starts with one six months free trial, followed by a regular price of $69 per year or $7.49 per month.
