Bits I’m instantly adding to my basket? A restock of the Glamour-approved Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara, which our editors have reviewed more times than I can count. Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Black Cherry Cleansing Balm (Molly-Mae’s go-to and mine) is also coming home with me, and to protect my lips from the dreaded chapped-lip season, I’m snapping up the YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil while it’s actually discounted – a rare occasion.
Fragrance lovers, you’re covered too. There are amazing savings on bestsellers from YSL and Armani, which make the perfect gift for her and if you’re in full winter wind-down mode, Laura Mercier’s Honey Bath is also included in the sale – dreamy.
In short, take this as your sign to top up your routine, or tick a few Christmas wish list items off without totally rinsing your bank account.
Medik8 Black Friday Beauty Deals:
If there’s one skincare brand I’ll rave about to just about anyone who’ll listen – it’s Medik8. From their latest collagen & peptide infused moisturiser and ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid serums to their miracle working Crystal Retinol – it’s the brand I reach for the most – especially during the winter months when my skin needs a bit more TLC.
Luckily for me (and all the other Medik8 fans out there), the brand has dropped its Black Friday sale – and there’s 25% off all the bestsellers, including free gifts when you spend over a certain amount.
For those who spend £120, you’ll nab a free Hydr8 B5 serum (worth £45). For those who spend £150, you’ll get the Hydr8 B5 serum plus a 4-piece gift set (worth £65) – so five free gifts!
The 4-piece gift includes four travel-sized favourites – ideal for popping under the Christmas tree, or keeping all to yourself. You’ll get the Calmwise™ Soothing Cleanser, Daily Radiance Vitamin C™ Two-in-One Moisturiser, Liquid Peptides™ 30% Complex Multi-Peptide Serum and the popular C-Tetra® Lipid Vitamin C Radiance Serum.
Below, I’ve picked out what I’m stocking up on in the Black Friday sale. Trust me, if I could buy everything, I would.
Shark Black Friday Beauty Deals:
While some may head to Shark for its famous hoovers, I’m pretty obsessed with their beauty tech – in fact, I haven’t stopped recommending their latest Shark FacialPro Glow device since it landed on my desk last month.
We know beauty tech doesn’t come cheap, but Black Friday savings definitely help – and Shark has just dropped theirs. First up, there’s £30 off the Shark CryoGlow Blemish Repair Mask, which was tested and reviewed in our best LED face masks guide. Our editor loved its cold-therapy tech for calming irritation and helping tackle breakouts.
The discount I really wasn’t expecting to see this early is on the brand’s new Shark FacialPro Glow. It’s basically the first ever at-home device to mimic a hydrafacial. You can read all about it in my review here, but all I’m saying is my skin has genuinely never been glowier. The saving isn’t huge (£20 off), but I’m still very glad (and quite shocked) to see it included in the sale.
