Best Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals Leave a comment
Gone are the days of waiting for the *actual* Friday after Thanksgiving, setting the alarm, plotting the haul, crossing your fingers that what you want hasn’t sold out during some shady VIP pre-sale, and then celebrating each win as the FedEx and UPS boxes arrive, one by one.
The shopping madness is in full ON mode already. There are plenty of sales happening this week and the options to score your favorite self-care treats are seemingly endless. I’d like to keep this list very concise but will continue to update it since last minute pitches arrive daily. With that said, my focus will be on the truly tempting offers of 20% off and more. When has a 15% discount ever tempted anyone? Let’s go!
Side note: I was going to say there is no need to wait till Friday anymore but… there is. One sale starts on Friday and is seriously not to be missed, so add it to your beauty haul master list. More info at the bottom of the post.
Avène
30% off site wide with code FRIDAYFEELS
dates: now until Nov 28
where: aveneusa.com
what to get: ‘Tis the season for dry skin saviors so pick up a tube of Cicalfate+ (fantastic multi-tasker), Cicalfate hand cream (it’s unbelievable, really), Xera-Calm cleansing oil which is my body wash of choice every winter without fail, and I personally love the Cleanance emulsion as a lightweight lotion moisturizer for my congestion prone skin.
Beauty Heroes
20% off site wide, no code, tiered GWP at $125, $250, $350, and $450 allowing you to score up to $274 in free gifts (details here)
dates: Nov 22-28
where: beauty-heroes.com
what to get: Le Prunier Plumscreen SPF 31 (it’s the absolute best), Josh Rosebrook is included in the discount for the first time so pick up that Hydrating Accelerator in the largest size, Ranavat anything, True Botanicals Ginger Turmeric cleansing balm, Blüh Alchemy Multi C serum, and LILFOX Blue Legume face mask get my vote.
Farmacy
30% off site wide with code SAVE30
dates: now until Nov 27
where: farmacybeauty.com
what to get: I will forever sing praises about the Honeymoon Glow night serum. Another standout for me is the Whipped Greens face wash. And if you enjoy the lightweight feel of K-beauty style cleansing balms, you will love Green Clean.
Flower & Spice
20% off site wide and free shipping with code BF20
dates: now until Nov 28
where: flowerandspice.com
what to get: This Swiss-made eco-luxe range is just spectacular but their Instant Glow Calming Exfoliator is one of the best things I put on my face. If you enjoy a robust face oil as part of your PM routine, definitely check out Midnight Beauty, it’s divine.
In Fiore
GWP of beyond generous proportions — spend $150 and receive Fleur Vibrante Serum Cerate (code 150FLEUR), spend $300 and receive Comfrey Solution Botanique (code 300COMFREY), spend $500 and get both (code 500BUNDLE)! Make sure to add each GWP item to cart before submitting the code.
dates: now until Nov 28
where: infiore.net
what to get: You haven’t lived if you haven’t slathered on the Fleur Vibrante Solution — it’s my ultimate treat. If you prefer lightweight eye creams, the Vis Clair Suprême is absolutely mind-blowing. I’m also a huge fan of the tinctures, especially Lâche-Lymphe and Immun’Attune.
ISDIN
30% off, no code, new Melaclear Advanced excluded
dates: now until Nov 30
where: isdin.com
what to get: This derm-recommended brand from Spain has some of the best sunscreen so make sure to check out the Eryfotona, my favorite being the tinted mineral formula. The K-Ox eye cream is among one of the best I have tried. Another winner: Melatonik night serum. This was a surprise find but I am on my 6th or 7th tube — you must try the Uradin Podos Gel Oil foot treatment.
Lifetherapy
30% off site wide with code BF30
dates: now until Nov 27
where: lifetherapy.com
what to get: The shower gels (which double as bubble bath) are beyond! My favorite scents are Grounded (citrus, rose, vanilla) and Energized (jasmine, red orange, marsh grass, peach skin) but the brand’s motto is Choose Your Mood so don’t let me influence you here. I can tell you that the Hope Holiday Candle is absolutely gorgeous.
Living Proof
20% off with my affiliate code BART20, free full-size dry shampoo with order $75 and more, free shipping
dates: Monday, Nov 21 only — valid for 24 hours
where: livingproof.com
what to get: this is super personal so I’ll tell you that my hair is thick, on the dry side, frequently washed and styled, (as in daily) and benefits from extra moisture. I absolutely love the Living Proof leave-in formulas, especially Restore and Night Cap. For styling, I find the amp2 texture volumizer and Flex hairspray to work best on my hair. I haven’t tried the new Triple Bond Complex but it is getting rave reviews.
Medik8
30% off with code BF30, full-size Clarity Peptides serum with orders $175 and more
dates: now until Nov 29
where: us.medik8.com
what to get: Get yourself some Crystal Retinal (my preference is for 10 but there are other strengths if you need to build up your tolerance) and if you’re really in the mood to splurge, I cannot say enough good things about the r-Retinoate Intense night formula. Other excellent finds include Press & Glow and Press & Clear toners as well as Hydr8 B5 Intense HA serum.
Skinstore
25% off + extra 6% off with my affiliate code BART25
dates: now until Nov 30th
where: skinstore.com
what to get: So much to lust over during this sale! If I weren’t stocked up on so many favorites, I’d be adding to cart Christophe Robin sea salt scalp scrub, ARCONA Triad Pads, Koh Gen Do cleansing cloths, Bioderma Atoderma cleansing oil (the jumbo size!), Naturopathica Manuka Honey cleansing balm, and make sure to check out luxe brands that are rarely on sale like Bioeffect, By Nacht, Natura Bisse and RéVive.
Tata Harper
25% off on orders over $100
dates: now until Nov 23
where: tataharperskincare.com
what to get: Totally my personal opinion but I find all the cleansers to be superb and none of the serums to be extraordinary. Both the Regenerating and Superkind face washes are fantastic on my combination skin. Same goes for the Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer. Also worth the hype: all of the Tata Harper face masks.
Tatcha
25% off site wide with code CYBER22
dates: Nov 21 – Dec 1
where: tatcha.com
what to get: My personal favorites include The Rice Wash, The Essence, The Water Cream, The Liquid Silk Canvas, The Silk Sunscreen, and the latest Hinoki body care, especially the body wash.
Three Ships Beauty
Buy One Get One
dates: Nov 24-28
where: threeshipsbeauty.com
what to get: My experience with Three Ships is limited but the Dew Drops serum is absolutely brilliant for its price point. Packed with Tremella Mushroom Extract, Kakadu Plum, and Red Algae, this HA + Vitamin C fusion just works. I may treat myself to two more to keep as backup, it’s that good.
Tula
25% off site wide, 40 % off super-size and select items (try my code OMGBART for an extra discount, it should work)
dates: Nov 22-30
where: tula.com
what to get: I continue to be amazed by how well the Beauty Sleep Night Cream works on my skin (prebiotics, AHAs, Vitamin C combo) and the latest Pro-Ferm Overnight Complex for under the eyes. If you love a rich, ultra moisturizing eye cream, I highly recommend you give this one a try.
Violet Grey
20%-50% off selected items
dates: Nov 25-28
where: violetgrey.com
Please check back on Friday (come early!) because most details are under embargo so I can’t share just yet. If you’re looking to score big on some of the iconic classics in the luxe and prestige categories, this sale is not to be missed. I promise.
