The start of the holiday shopping season—so named because it traditionally was the day when retailers’ accounts went from being in the red to the black—falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which, this year, is November 29. While in-store deals tend to start at midnight, early sales are common online. Check your fave sites for discounts the weekend before Thanksgiving and expect the steals to last until Cyber Monday on December 2.
With most beauty brands and big box stores like Sephora, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Ulta participating in the Black Friday fun, anticipate steep discounts on everything from makeup and skincare to fragrances, hair tools, and LED face masks. Though some of these products seem small, they can pack a punch at the register, so it’s worth snapping them up at a steal to stock up on holiday gifts or just restock your stash.
In 2023, savvy shoppers decked their halls with bottles of skin serum and significantly discounted hair tools. Bluemercury, Sephora, Ulta, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty, Miranda Kerr’s Kora Organics Charlotte Tilbury, CurrentBody, Ilia Beauty, and Benefit Cosmetics offered site-wide sales and amazing deals on popular products—so it truly was the season to be jolly.
Yes, you likely already get far too many emails, but one of the best ways to ensure you don’t miss a Black Friday deal is to sign up for email alerts from the stores and brands you frequent most. If you’re worried about clogging your inbox, simply make unsubscribing from all those listservs one of your New Year’s resolutions. You can also follow your go-to brands on social media or even set Google alerts to catch wind of all the savings on offer.
Now’s a good time to assess the contents of your makeup bag and bathroom vanity. Running low on your everyday mascara? Add it to the list. Looking to upgrade your nightly eye cream? No time like the present. Also consider if you’d like to give any beauty goodies as gifts or if it would be handy to have a few lotions or lip balms on hand for secret Santa or other last-minute presents.
All that glorious glam can add up, so consider how much you’re willing to spend on beauty buys. Even a half-off Dyson Airwrap is too high a cost if it means you’re blowing through your entire shopping budget.
‘Tis the season to score high-end tools and anti-aging serums at a sharp discount, but before you commit, do your due diligence. To assess if something is a smart buy for you, ask pals for recommendations and read online reviews.
Avoid that feeling of buyer’s remorse by first checking the return policy on any products you snag while on your shopper’s high. Keep in mind that some stores may accept returns on opened products, but others are less flexible.
In short: pretty much everywhere. Many of the most popular brands and stores are offering Black Friday deals that start well before your turkey is carved. Check out our section on Site wide Black Friday beauty deals to see how you can save big at stores and sites like Nordstrom and Sephora.
