Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

While Amazon is best known for its tech and home appliance offering, as well as its own Echo, Kindle and Fire devices, the online giant has also become a go-to destination for beauty in recent years.

Plus, next-day delivery is available for Prime members to save the day when you run out of your best-loved mascara or shampoo (goodbye supermarket dashes).

But the benefits don’t stop there, as Amazon regularly discounts its stellar beauty line-up. Case in point: you can currently save up to 40 per cent on everything from Urban Decay’s make-up setting spray to CeraVe’s beauty editor-approved face and body cleanser.

(Maybelline New York)

Available in a range of colourways, including black, brown, burgundy, blue and pink, as well as a waterproof version, Maybelline’s mascara is a viral hit for good reason. It’s lived in our writer’s make-up bag ever since the product first launched in 2021 – in their review, they found it to be a buildable formula that’s best for lengthening, with a flexible brush allowing the lashes to look instantly longer and more lifted.

Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £48, now £39, Amazon.co.uk

(Elemis)

This creamy cleansing balm is one of the brand’s bestsellers. It instantly removes make-up, moisturises the skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple, what’s not to love? When putting it to the test, our beauty buff reviewer had only good things to say. “This rich balm is enriched with rose and mimosa wax, elderberry, omega and starflower oil and a host of essential oils. Combined, it boasts a fragrant aroma that adds to its luxurious appeal,” they wrote.

CeraVe SA smoothing face and body cleanser: Was £23.50, now £7.99, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

CeraVe’s smoothing face and cleanser is targeted for oily, spot-prone skin types. “It’s loaded with salicylic acid, making it great for summer months when keratosis pilaris (also known as chicken skin) is in full swing, and it also helps reduce blemishes and breakouts on the body – particularly on the back,” our tester said. “It’s gentle but effective, and despite the fact salicylic acid can be quite drying, in this formulation, it’s not, instead it cleanses skin and leaves it feeling refreshed.”
