Beauty Under 10

I’ve recently become an Amazon Prime- aholic - beauty, household, movies, electronics, handmade items and pet needs. I didn’t know Amazon had so many options for merchandise.

The best thing is there always seems to be deals - hair, makeup, body, skin and nail products priced anywhere from 30 to 40 percent off.

Amazon Prime is a membership program through Amazon that gives customers access to free shipping, two-day shipping, streaming video, music, e-books, and a variety of other Amazon-specific services and deals.

Starting a 30-day free trial gives you early access to deals, plus free two-day shipping. Sometimes, you'll even get 1-day shipping.

If you're a student, you can get a free six-month trial of Amazon Prime Student, which gets you all of the benefits of Prime in addition to special student-specific deals. After that, Prime Student will cost you half the price of regular Prime.

Amazon Prime memberships start at $99 per year seems like too much of a commitment, you can opt for the monthly $10.99 plan or the Prime Video only plan, which costs $8.99.

Here is some other of reasons why customers who frequent Amazon may want a Prime subscription:

Shipping

Free two-day shipping on eligible items to addresses in the contiguous U.S. and other shipping benefits. For more information, go to Amazon Prime Shipping Benefits.

Free same-day delivery in eligible ZIP codes. For more information, go to Order with Prime Free Same-Day Delivery.

Prime Pantry

Members can purchase and ship to addresses in the contiguous U.S. low-priced grocery, household and pet care items for a flat delivery fee of $5.99 for each Prime Pantry box. Prime Pantry orders cannot be shipped to addresses in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
