We’ve rounded up what we think are the best Black Friday Beauty Deals of the year so if you’ve had your eye on anything on this list, now is the time to think about picking it up!
Before we get to the list, we want to acknowledge the dark side of Black Friday. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of a great deal on something you like the look of or a huge discount on something that’s usually very expensive – we’ve all been there. All we want to say is: don’t spend money you don’t have on things you don’t need. Our advice would be to scour the list for a discount on something you’ve been thinking about buying already or something you need to repurchase anyway – we’re not encouraging you to spend wildly on all these offers. We’ve also put together some recommendations for each store/brand to help guide you towards the products we believe offer the most value in the hopes that you avoid any disappointing purchases. So, with that being said, let’s get to the good stuff…
