best matte lipstick lead

The annual Amazon Holiday Beauty Haul sale is one of our favorite fall events to shop, and all of the deals just went live. After years of writing about beauty, I’ve found that price isn’t necessarily an indicator of quality. It’s an area where the drugstore dupe of that expensive cleanser might be better than its pricier version — or where a $30 tube of mascara might just actually be worth it.

Luckily, our job at Underscored is to help you figure out when to buy — and one of the best times to do so is right now, during Amazon’s fall beauty sale. Now you can score deep deals on all things makeup, grooming and hygiene products.
