You could spend Black Friday, a.k.a. the day after Thanksgiving, sprawled out on your couch recovering from your turkey- and carb-induced food coma, OR you could spend the day putting a whole bunch of discounted beauty products into your cart and debating whether or not to pull the trigger.
Or you could do both?! That’s what I’ll be doing. 🙂
Here are the best of the best I’ve seen so far. If I find anything else worthy of note before Fri-yay, I’ll be sure to add it to the bottom of the post in the “Noteworthy” section.
The deal: Buy one, get one half off. Exclusions apply (holiday collections, Diptyque and Vintner’s Daughter don’t apply). Promotion starts in stores on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, and online Friday, November 24, 2017 through Monday, November 27.
— R+Co High Dive is a ride-or-die-caliber leave-in conditioner for all hair types. I just finished my second bottle and plan to stock up on at least two more; it’s *THAT* good. (Here’s my review.)
— More R+Co must haves: Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner (review), Sail Soft Wave Spray (review), Control Flexible Paste (review), Death Valley Dry Shampoo (review) and Trophy Shine + Texture Spray (review).
— I wear at least one thing by Hourglass Cosmetics almost every day. Some classic workhorse products that you can wear all year long include the Ambient Lighting Blush (shade Diffused Heat on me), Vanish Seamless Foundation Stick (review), Girl Lip Stylo (I wear Explorer, Dreamer and Peacemaker all the time) and Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Radiant Bronze.
— The Surratt Curler is life. Best one out there right meow IMO (review).
— Skin care to consider — Kat Burki PH+ Enzyme Essence, Sunday Riley Good Genes, Sunday Riley C.E.O.
— Byredo Gypsy Water — I could happily wear this scent every day for the rest of my life (review). I’m also a fan of Mojave Ghost.
The deal: 25% off everything! — no exclusions now until Tuesday, November 28. They have an extended “no quibbles” return policy through the holidays, too, so orders placed between November 20, 2017 and January 10th, 2018 may be returned through January 31, 2018 (you’ll need the original box containing all of the original product packaging and accessories, though).
— The Soft Curl Iron is a must. I’ve tried more curling irons than I can count, from high end to low, and the GHD Soft Curl is my go-to and has been for years. It heats up quicker than the rest and creates the shiniest, longest-lasting loose curls (here’s a review, and a recent pic of my hair after using it).
— The Classic Wave Iron for loose, ’40s-style siren waves (see on me).
— The Creative Wave Wand — The tapered barrel creates tousled, casual curls of varying sizes.
— Classic Curl Iron — Has a 1-inch barrel for tighter, shiny, smooth curls.
The deal: 40% off site-wide from November 23, 2017 through November 26, 2017. Early access on November 22 for email subscribers. Free shipping on orders $50 and over.
— The Lip Gels feel light on the lip and lays down mad moisture (see on me).
— Milk Body Butter is a hydrating fave for my dry skin that I’ve been faithful to since the early Aughts (here’s a review).
— Oasis Hydrating Treatment — When I was in my 30s and my face was oily, I lived for this lightweight but moisturizing gel.
— Milk Body Wash — Hydrating and foamy.
— ZOYA: 50% off any order, plus free shipping with code FRIYAY on Friday, November 24, 2017. Includes all Nail Polish, Holiday Kits, Lip Shades, Naked Manicure, Qtica, Smart Spa and treatments. Valid for US and Canadian customers until 11:59pm ET (international shipping fees apply for Canadian customers).
— DHC: 20% off site-wide until November 27, 2017.
— BUXOM COSMETICS: 25% off orders, and free shipping with code BFCM25, from Friday, November 24, 2017 through Monday, November 27, 2017.
— ANTONYM COSMETICS: 30% off, and free shipping, from Friday, November 24th to Monday through November 2 2017.
— VEIL COSMETICS: 25% off site wide (for orders over $30) with code VEIL25 on Friday, November 24, 2017 and Monday, November 27, 2017.
