Amazon Is Brimming With Beauty and Tech Deals This Month
Between Amazon's Summer Beauty event and rare Apple discounts, there are plenty of deals to score this May.
Every month at Good Housekeeping, our shopping experts curate a list of the best Amazon deals worth adding to your cart, including some trusted products tested in the esteemed Good Housekeeping Institute.
Memorial Day falls at the end of this month, but we're already seeing rare discounts on popular tech items, like the Apple Watch SE and these Beats headphones at their lowest prices since Black Friday. Plus, Amazon's Summer Beauty event is here through May 11 — bringing steep discounts on makeup and skincare. Since there's no guarantee these items will be on sale again come Memorial Day, our editors rounded up 20 of the best Amazon deals worth scoring right now.

If you're looking to stock up on beauty essentials or try out a new viral product, now's the time. We spotted markdowns on plenty of GH Institute-tested finds from Laneige, Medicube, Crest and more. However, vacuum and kitchen appliance deals were scarce, so we recommend holding out until later this month.
Why we like it: Amazon's #1 best-selling powder foundation has amassed more than 50,000 reviews for its lightweight formula that's designed not to settle into fine lines — making it a popular pick for mature skin. It received a National Psoriasis Foundation Seal of Recognition and a National Rosacea Society Seal of Acceptance, and it claims to be a good option for sensitive skin.
