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.Beauty buffs, rejoice, as the Amazon spring sale (or Spring Deal Days, as it’s being dubbed) is finally here, and I’ve found a standout saving that’s sure to take your fancy.
If you aren’t too familiar with the retail giant’s seasonal savings, allow me to explain. From 20-25 March, Amazon is slashing the prices across a whole host of items on its website – home appliances (including air fryers, of course), garden furniture, TVs and laptops all included.
Amazon is an often underrated treasure trove of beauty products, and there’s a huge number of make-up, skincare and haircare items included in the seasonal sale. Think 16 per cent off the ghd duet styler, 15 per cent off the Elemis pro-collagen eye mask and 40 per cent off a Real Techniques make-up brush set. So, no matter if you’re looking to refresh your make-up bag or replace an old hair tool, you really don’t want to sleep on these savings.
The sale find that has shot to the top of my wishlist today, though, is Rimmel London’s thrill seeker mascara, with a whopping 86 per cent saving, meaning it’s probably cheaper than your morning coffee. Need more persuading? Keep reading to find out why my fellow beauty buff loves it.

Rimmel London thrill seeker mascara extreme black: Was £10.99, now £1.50, Amazon.co.uk
Handily, this mascara has dropped to just £1.50. So, if you’re tempted to try it, now is probably the best time to do so. Or, if you’re super thrifty, perhaps pick up a couple as presents to give throughout the year? Nobody has to know you only spent pocket change on them, do they?
Named best budget option in our review of the best mascaras, my fellow beauty buff wrote: “The oversized hourglass-shaped brush grabs the lashes from the corners out (along the lash line), and the creamy, whipped formula makes it malleable and easy to layer, clump-free.”
Plus, they also found “one layer gives natural-looking length and volume, while three gives falsies competition”. So, consider me sold. I’m adding it to my basket and I urge you to do the same.
