Dyson! Victoria Beckham Beauty! Merit! The Black Friday Beauty Deals That Get Our Stamp of Approval

Aesop Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash (was £33, now £23)

Okay, I'm going to kick things off with somewhat of a bang. Already, three friends have messaged me to ask what I recommend in today's sales (it's only 8am), and this hand soap is something I will recommend every single year, without fail. And actually, this year the discounts are next-level impressive. For just £23, this exfoliating hand wash feels like a mini spa treatment every time you wash your hands. Plus, I just know someone is chic if they have an Aesop hand wash gracing their sink side. Once it's done, repurchase or fill it up with something cheaper—your secret is safe with me.

Merit Flush Balm (was £26, now £21)

A world without Merit Flush Blush is a world I would struggle to get by in. You see, this small but mighty cream blusher really did change my life when it launched. If you hate applying makeup and just want a natural-looking, healthy-looking, glowing flush of colour in the morning, this is the product for you. Seriously, stop putting it off—Merit only discounts once a year, and today is the day.

Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif (was £310, now £248)

I must apologise in advance for the RRP of this perfume, as it's not a cheap one. However this beautiful scent has basically become 2025's version of Maison Francis Baccarat Rouge 540 amongst cool girls, so the fact it's currently over £60 at Space NK is quite a big deal. It smells like a delicate bouquet of florals dripping in the creamiest, richest almond milk you've ever encountered. Every time I smell Valaya Exclusif, I go weak at the knees. Oh, and if you don't believe that a £310 perfume can be as popular as I'm suggesting, I logged on a 6.45am this morning and Space NK had already sold 12 bottles online.

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic (was £165, now £145)

I'm sorry, it's another pricey one, but seriously, finding SkinCeuticals' cult C E Ferulic serum on discount just doesn't happen, but after some digging, I found it on sale at Face the Future. In my expert opinion, the glow-boosting, skin-health-delivering abilities of this serum justify the £165 price tag year-round, but with £20 off it's a no brainer.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (was £23, now £16)

PSA: Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is only £16 today over on Space NK! For anyone who knows anything about beauty, this is very big news. I'm stocking up on my favourites, Vanilla Beige and Iced Coffee—the perfect muted nudes. Seriously, if you haven't used this tinted lip butter before, what have you been doing? Its nourishing benefits and subtly hued sheen make for the ultimate everyday lip. Oh, and if you're gift shopping today, you can't go wrong with this a tube of this stuff.

Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer Straight+Wavy (was £330, now £200)

Look, as someone with very long, very fine, very straight hair that doesn't hold any sort of a curl, I'm not prepared to sit here and tell you to buy the currently discounted original Dyson Airwrap—it just doesn't perform in the way the newer models do. But this Dyson deal is not to be sniffed at. The Supersonic is, hands down, the best hair dryer money can buy. It's quiet, it's lightweight and it blasts my whole head dry in approximately two minutes. Today, it's only £200 (that's £130 off), and the discount is so good I'm genuinely contemplating buying a spare just in case.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (was £52, now £37)

In my 12 years of covering Black Friday beauty deals, I don't think I've ever seen a discount on Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleaning Balm this impressive. With £15 off, stocking up on this cult product feels like a total no-brainer. Personally, it's the original spa-like scent that has my heart, but I'm also a sucker for all things fig, so I've added a replenishment of both to my basket. For those who like to use cleansing balm on their eyes, the naked version is fragrance-free and removes makeup with unparalleled ease. This isn't just the best cleansing balm of all time, it might just be one of the best skincare products of all time, in my opinion. If you want to treat yourself to a bit of skincare indulgence, you can't go wrong here.

Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner (was £32, now £26)

Victoria Beckham Beauty's cult Satin Kajal Liners are a staple in my makeup bag, and I can attest that they are truly the best eyeliners out there. I wear the shade Cocoa, a rich matte brown (which is also a favourite of VB's herself) that is endlessly versatile. I use it to add subtle definition for the daytime, but it effortlessly blends for a smouldering smoky eye, too. Victoria Beckham Beauty has 20% off for Black Friday, but if you need to stock up your makeup bag, you can also receive a complimentary eyeshadow stick if you spend £100 or more.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ (was £16, now £11)

I usually take advantage of sales like Black Friday to stock up on the things I use daily, and this SPF is my favourite that I've discovered this year. It's by far the lightest SPF I've ever tried (which my oily-prone skin much appreciates) with its gel-cream consistency that melts undetectably into the skin and works so well underneath makeup. It's already an affordable SPF, but the extra discount is even better.

GHD Chronos Curve Max Wand (was £189, now £139)

Trust me, this is the curling wand you're missing if you want effortless waves or loose curls. This is GHD's latest model, which has the largest curling barrel yet, delivering a soft curl that's perfect if you like perfectly undone hairstyles. The large wand is ideal if you have long or thick hair (I can style my long lengths in less than 15 minutes) and it's the first time I've seen it on sale since it launched, so you can get a great saving on it too.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (was £44, now £31)

The Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick is a firm favourite on the team. With its creamy formula, it blends into a buttery soft finish that leaves the prettiest flush on your cheeks (and the chic packaging? It's to die for). I rarely see Westman Atelier on sale, so I'm taking the opportunity to add a couple more shades to my makeup bag.

Shark CryoGlow Under-Eye Cooling LED Mask (was £300, now £250)

I've had friends and colleagues messaging me to ask what LED mask is worth the investment, and I've been pointing them in the direction of the Shark CryoGlow LED Mask, which I've now tested for over six months. It's transformative for the skin, helping to encourage collagen production with red and near-infrared light, as well as helping to reduce breakouts with the blue light treatment. But best of all, you're also getting the cooling undereye masks that are built into the mask, helping to cool and depuff the eye area. My skin has never looked better. It's so good, in fact, that my boyfriend has stolen it from me!

Before I hand over to my colleagues, I'm frantically typing up these incredible Byredo deals that are too good to miss. I never see Byredo discounted, and there are so many great discounts on SpaceNK today that I had to highlight a couple.

Byredo Les Minatures (was £145, now £123)

Firstly, can we talk about how cute these mini Byredo perfumes are? They're the perfect gift for the Byredo lover in your life (I won't judge if you're thinking of buying these for yourself) to discover their new signature scent. Or, you could split them among your gift recipients as a little luxury.

Byredo La Selection Florale (was £119, now £101)

These 12ml travel vials are the perfect size for slipping into your bag for on-the-go perfume top-ups, and the selection in this gift set is brilliant, with three of Byredo's bestselling fragrances. Blanche smells like clean, fresh linen, La Tulipe is like burying your nose into a bouquet of expensive flowers, and Rose of No Man's Land is a hypnotic, moody rose that gets me endless compliments.

Byredo Bibliotheque Mini Candle (was £35, now £28)

If you're stuck for a gift for your secret Santa, may I suggest this (on sale) Byredo candle? It's the perfect little luxury for the person who has everything, and Bibliotheque is the perfect winter scent, which is inspired by old-world libraries to make you feel cosy whenever you burn it.

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ Faceware Pro, (was £465, now £349)

I practically screamed when I saw my favourite LED mask of all time, the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ Faceware Pro, in the Space NK Black Friday sale. I honestly can't recommend this mask enough. It's comfortable to wear, has a super short treatment time of just three minutes, and combines red and blue light therapy to tackle a wide range of skincare concerns. In my opinion, this is the gold standard of LED technology.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Deer, (was £92, now £74)

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette includes a finishing powder, blush, bronzer and highlighter, which all work together to create a soft, glowy finish to the skin. It's one of my go-to makeup products, so when I saw this stunning new packaging for the festive season, I couldn't believe that it was on sale with 20% off. I'll be treating my best friend to this one for Christmas.

Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi™ Bronzing Drops, (was £34, now £24)

I was really hoping that these bestselling Drunk Elephant bronzing drops would be on sale during Black Friday, as it's safe to say that my complexion is in desperate need of a boost. With £10 off, I'm stocking up immediately.

K18 Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask, (was £70, now £53)

My hair is feeling particularly dry at the moment, so another beauty product I plan on adding to my basket is the K18 hair mask. This single-handedly saved my hair when I overdid it with the bleach last summer, and I always recommend it to everyone I know.

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream, (was £67, now £50)

Whenever my skin is feeling dry or lacklustre, I apply this luxurious moisturiser from Tatcha, and my complexion is immediately brought back to life. I'm treating my mum to a pot of this stuff while it's 25% off.

Miu Miu Miutine Eau de Parfum, (was 104, now £73)

I've written all about my love for Miu Miu Miutine, Wholesale Replica Bag scent from the designer brand. If you've been thinking about treating yourself to a luxury fragrance or are looking for a special Christmas gift for a loved one, I could not recommend this enough. Notes of wild strawberry and brown sugar add a sweet, gourmand touch, while undertones of patchouli add a sophisticated edge. Oh, and can we take a moment for the bottle? So chic. I can't believe this is included in the Black Friday sales, and I just know it will sell out in no time.

SpaceNK 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar (was £160, now £136)

This deal is so impressive that I just had to hop back on here to share it. SpaceNK's 12 Days of Fragrance Advent Calendar is probably the best perfume advent calendar I've spotted in the Black Friday sales. I don't want to spoil too many surprises, but you can expect over £500 of fragrance surprises, including a Diptyque candle and the likes of Byredo and Glossier perfumes. I'm very tempted to get it for myself.

Hello!Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK SEO writer Ava Gilchrist reporting live from my laptop and bringing you the best Black Friday beauty deals that have piqued my interest. My general shopping philosophy is to buy well and with intention, so while there were many specials singing out to me, I’ve stuck to my pre-written wish-list and only invested in the pieces I know I truly love, so you will too.

Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick (was £44, now £30.80)

It’s no secret that I adore the Westman Atelier Complexion Drops, but for days when I want to feel slightly more sculpted, the iconic Face Trace Contour Stick is my go-to. With a true cool undertone and deliciously creamy formula, this product glides over the hollows of my cheeks and bridge of my nose like a dream and buffs out into a very neutral taupe that adds an extra element of chisel to my makeup routine.

Saie Glowy Super Gel (was £24, now £16.80)

On the other end of the spectrum, the Saie Glowy Super Gel is what I reach for on days where I want to go sans makeup, but still love the ritual and application of putting on a ‘face’. As someone who was born in Sydney but now lives in London, you might be shocked to hear how much SPF is part of my personality. This is a product I’ll either mix into my moisturiser or dilute with a touch of sunscreen—only after I’ve applied a base layer because I don’t want to destabilise the formula, of course—to gently wake up and illuminate my complexion. Truly the definition of your skin but better.

Mirror Water Soak Bath Salts (was £38, now £28.50)

Again, as a newfound Brit, I’ve taken the ritual of an evening bath incredibly seriously. These bath salts are something I’ve been eyeing off for a while now after being put onto them by my colleagues, including Junior Beauty Editor Grace Lindsay. As the weather continues to cool and the skies gradually get darker earlier, this is something I know will boost serotonin after a long day and serve as a ‘sweet treat’ for my body.

Salt Stone Santal Vetiver Body Wash (was £36, now £27)

Continuing in this category, the Salt Stone Santal Vetiver Body Wash is also calling for me to add it to my cart. Not only does the richly foaming product feature two of my favourite scent profiles, but it acts as an everyday indulgence that feels so luxurious throughout wintertime. My shower routine is something I’ve been finessing for years now, considering everything from temperature (scolding) to pressure (high) and ambience (lights dimly lit and a Mazzy Star playlist playing in the background). This body wash is truly just the cherry on top.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish (was £39, now £27.30)

Black Friday serves as an opportunity to stock up on classics, which is why Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish has ended up in my basket. Beloved by It girls, including Devon Lee Carlson and Kate Moss, the pressed powder is one of the most effective at mitigating shine and offering a slightly blurred effect. It’s a best-seller for a reason, and with 30% shaved off the price tag, I'll gladly be shopping again and again.

Glossier You (was £112, now £78.40)

Of course, I couldn't leave you without alerting you to my holy grail item in all of the sales: Glossier You. I vividly remember smelling this fragrance for the first time as someone in my early 20s who was visiting New York, and the visceral memory of the gritty urban landscape contrasted against the sweet notes has always stuck with me. This contrast is what makes it such a cult fragrance, as it almost feels like a reprieve from the tough, harsh cityscape, courtesy of its clean and fresh profile. The perfume also smells different on each person, making it one of the most individualistic and unique on the market. And considering it's under a £100, I can't think of a better time to buy it.

Lyma Laser Starter Kit, was £2,000, now £1,500

Whilst I was ready to pack it up after finalising all my Black Friday shopping, Beauty Director Shannon Lawlor mentioned that now is as good a time as any to consider investing in expensive beauty tools you might've been lusting after for a year now. So, I had to jump back on and let you know that the incredibly coveted Lyma Laser kit is nearly £500 off its original RRP. Savings like this don't come around very often, especially ones that can deliver near-infrared light in a flash, target wrinkles and boost cellular activity.

HiyaBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK! It's Imani, junior fashion editor at your service, and I’ll be taking over the live hub for the foreseeable! I've been loving the Black Friday sales so far (and may have even nabbed a Shark CryoGlow in the chaos!). I'll be chit-chatting about all the products I'm re-ordering this weekend, with a special focus on the best buys for my adult-acne-girls . If you're loving my tips, follow me on Insta @Imani_athina x

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream,(was £150, now £112.50)

There are so many things I could say about Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream, but I’ll keep it brief. When I first started getting adult acne, I found that moisturiser would consistently flare up my skin. When I stumbled on the miracle that is The Rich Cream, I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Lightweight yet nourishing, the luxurious formulation soothed my active pimples and began healing my skin. Hyperpigmentation, begone! Since then (and this was a fair few years ago, mind you), I’m never too far from a bottle, and I borderline refuse to use anything else.

llia Super Skin Serum (was £42, now £33.60)

With acne-prone skin and one too many mince pies incoming, it would be impossible to get through the festive season without Ilia’s Super Skin Serum. A skincare-makeup hybrid, its lightweight formulation has a soothing, smoothing effect which plays well with oily skin. The dewy finish gives a summery glow, and you’re left with “your face but better”, and who doesn’t want that?

Saltair Santal Bloom Body Oil Shimmer (was £42, now £33.60)

I love to glow year round, and with Saltair’s body oil, I know I’ll achieve just that. Super lightweight, it glides onto the skin, lasts all night long (hello, festive parties), has a gorgeous vanilla scent and mixes well with my go-go body moisturiser.

PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Cream and Powder Blush Duo (was £34, now £23.80)

TikTok originally filled me in on Patrick Ta’s Double-Take blush and I haven’t looked back since. A duo palette, it includes both a cream and a powder, and they work perfectly in tandem.

Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil 1.5mm Tip Ultra-Fine Eyebrow Pencil (was £26, now £18.20)

When it comes to brows, Benefit is the OG. I’ve probably been using the Precisely, My Brow Pencil since I was 14 (over a decade), and it still holds up. With razor-sharp precision, you can fill in your brows in an instant, or create any shape you desire.

Right, I'm back—it's beauty director Shannon Lawlor reporting for duty once more. I promise we had a full running order today, but I have insisted on butting in once again, because I don't feel like I gave the Dyson Supersonic deal enough time earlier, and it's been weighing on me. So, let's try round two...

When I say the Supersonic is the best hair dryer you will ever use, I mean it. This thing will literally change your hair forever. The low heat means less damage, but the power this thing kicks out is totally unmatched. I've tried hundreds of hair dryers over the years and the Supersonic is lightyears ahead of the rest. I'm sort of flabbergasted that it's £130 off. I keep thinking Dyson are going to realise they've made a mistake and the price will be reverted, but I think it's actually intentional?

And I've just found the Origin on Boots for £190?! What is this madness?!

Another quick one from me, that I've just been thinking about. Earlier, beauty editor Eleanor Vousden spoke about the Victoria Beckham Beauty Black Friday sale with the Satin Kajal Liner (Cocoa is literally the best brown eyeliner money can buy, by the way). And I know it's all a bit fiddly because you have to spend £100 to get the 20% off, but I've just realised that this setup means you get 20% off the foundation of the year—Victoria Beckham Beauty The Foundation Drops.

If I had a pound for every time someone had DMd me this year to ask if this foundation is worth its money, I'd be able to buy myself a lifetime supply. And my answer? With watery eyes and a heavy heart, I'm sad to say that yes, it is worth its £104 price tag. But if you order it today, it's £83.20, and you get a free EyeWear in Caramel or Oyster. This is not a drill, people! If you are one of the people who has messaged me about The Foundation Drops, this is your sign!

I promise, I'm stepping back now and letting everyone else have a go. I'll be back later!

Hi!Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing ’s News Writer, Natalie Munro taking over and sharing an edit of the products that have genuinely changed the game for me. I shop sparingly and thoughtfully, and I always reinvest when I find something that truly works. These formulas are my holy grails, as someone who has dealt with acne for as long as I can remember, they’re the few products that have worked the hardest to keep my complexion at its smoothest.

I’m also eager to share a couple of haircare heroes that actually tame my frizz-prone strands, plus a few makeup favourites I reach for time and time again.

Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliating Toner, was £35, now £24

If I were rebuilding my skincare collection from scratch, Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliating Toner would be the very first thing in my basket. It works miracles on my clog-prone skin, keeping my texture smooth and refined while stopping new breakouts in their tracks. With Black Friday’s latest deals, I can’t resist topping up the larger 118 ml bottle, usually £35 but currently £24, but I've also spotted that the smaller 30 ml size has dropped from £13 to £9 today.

Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment 30ml, was £70, now £49

Back with another acne-prone skin hero: Sunday Riley’s Good Genes Glycolic Acid keeps my complexion as happy as it can possibly be. It gently exfoliates my congestion-prone skin, and by the morning after application, I wake up to a more even tone and a genuine lit-from-within glow. It’s a pricey product, so I don’t always have it in my rotation, but with such a significant discount this Black Friday, I’m absolutely using the moment to stock up.

Anua Rice 70 Glow Collagen Mask was £16, now £11

As well as being acne-prone, my skin also seems to be in a constant state of dehydration—a frustrating truth for someone like me, who is practically inseparable from my water bottle. Topical hydration is a must, and a weekly evening session with Anua’s Glow Collagen Mask helps top up my skin’s water levels. Each pack includes four sheet masks, so I usually stock up month by month, but I’m using the Black Friday sales to get ahead.

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder, was £50, now £35

I had never met a setting powder I actually got on with—until I tried Hourglass’ Veil Powder. Its ultra-fine texture creates an airbrushed finish that keeps my makeup in place while somehow enhancing my glow. As the final step in my routine, I don’t feel fully ready for the day without it. While I’m definitely stocking up on the larger size, I also highly recommend the travel-size version, which lasts surprisingly long despite its smaller pot.

Susanne Kaufmann Body Oil, was £35, now £26

I’m religious about post-shower body hydration, and after trying every oil, cream, and serum I could get my hands on, I’ve settled on Susanne Kaufmann’s Body Oil as my all-time favourite. It absorbs instantly, a must for someone with zero patience to wait before getting dressed, leaving my skin soft, comfortable, and feeling utterly luxurious to apply.

I’m not usually much of a sales shopper, but I’m genuinely shocked to see that literally all of my beauty essentials have dropped in price. I thought I’d stick to a couple of careful top-ups, but now I feel that it would be remiss not to expand my basket to include a few beauty heroes I thought I’d only ever covet.

Davines OI Shampoo and Conditioner Duo, was £52, now £36

To set the scene: my hair is naturally curly on a good day and a bundle of frizz on a bad one. Perpetually dry and unruly, I long considered my hair “difficult” and leaned heavily on hair straighteners to add some order. It wasn’t until my hairdresser stressed the importance of a high-quality shampoo and conditioner that I realised there was actually something I could do about it. Following their advice, I invested in Davines OI Shampoo and Conditioner, and I’ve never looked back. Like a mini trip to the salon, this duo makes my hair softer, more manageable, and honestly better than I ever thought possible. It’s the first recommendation I share whenever anyone comes to me with frizz-induced woes.

Hello! Happy BF, campers! Acting Deputy Editor, Rebecca Rhys-Evans, here to divulge which products I have in my basket. Some of you may have seen this earlier, but when too many editors contribute to a story, a technical error or two is bound to happen. So here we are posting again!

I’m a sucker for Black Friday beauty deals as I tend to use it as an opportunity to stock up on old favourites, try new cult items as well as get some Christmas shopping done. These are things I have my eyes on…

NARS Concealer (was £29.50, now £20.65)

We know you guys love a concealer, and the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is, IMHO, the best on the market. As the name suggests, it has a creamy formula that is easy to blend and has high coverage. Like most concealers, it’s a great size for your handbag, which is great for those that don’t like to carry a foundation (me). Also great for a stocking filler, especially with 30% off.

Morphe Portrait Mode 5-Piece Face Brush Set (was £30, now £21)

I often find myself recommending a good makeup brush set to anyone who doesn’t know what to buy a beauty lover. What I love about Morphe’s, aside from the fact it’s very budget friendly at just £21 (but is worth £73), is that it has a good selection of brush types. Usually brush sets give you one larger style, say for foundation, then multiple smaller ones for eyeshadow and lips and the like. This set however will cover foundation, powder, bronzer and more, and this mushroom colour palette? Chic, chic, chic!

Discothèque Call for a Good Time (was £120, now £84)

ICMYI, all the coolest people in London are wearing and raving about new fragrance brand Discothèque. I’ve heard people online describe the fragrance to smell like sex and partying, but its Call for a Good Time scent is actually a sweet and sultry combination of powdery violet, ylang-ylang and yuzu, with subtle notes of jasmine flowers. Bringing the energy and euphoria of one of the best nights out of your life in one bottle, this is a great perfume for any hedonist.

Olaplex No.7 Hair Oil (was £28, now £19.50)

As a blonde who bleaches her hair regularly, I’ve long used Olaplex products to help save my hair. The No.7 Bonding Frizz Reduction and Heat Protection Hair Oil is an essential part of my hair routine, as it smoothes out my wispy ends and gives it a shine like no other oil I’ve tried. It also acts as a heat protector, which is great for anyone who, like me, abuses the hair tools far too much. It’s also perfectly stocking filler sized, and with 30% off, now is the time to try it or stock up if you’re already a fan.

Hi all, Managing Editor Poppy here reporting for duty! If you know me, you’ll know I look forward to Black Friday each year—not because I’m stocking up on loads of products, but because I like to make a few thoughtful, well-timed purchases. And if there’s a discount involved? Even better.

This afternoon, I sifted through hundreds of beauty deals and, like my colleagues before me, narrowed things down to a handful of true favourites. I’ve already placed my order, so it only feels fair to share my top picks with you too. Happy browsing!

Escentric Molecules Molecules 01 Eau de Toilette (was £115, now £92)
I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve worn this perfume, and only this perfume, for over ten years. If you’re a regular reader, you already know the lore: my mum was one of the first to wear it when it launched decades ago, and when I turned 18, it became my signature scent, too. So you can imagine our joint delight when we spotted it on sale this Black Friday. It’s classed as a skin scent, meaning it smells slightly different on everyone as it adapts to your skin’s chemistry, but the overall vibe is clean, fresh, and subtly woody. Perfect, no?

And as if the discount weren’t tempting enough, I’ve just realised it also comes in a 200ml bottle! Win!

Even if you’re not a big beauty lover (like me), there are so many fantastic deals this year that it’s worth checking whether your hero products are on sale. I’m currently putting together a list of my absolute ride-or-die favourites that are discounted today—and honestly, if you’re going to buy them anyway, you might as well get them for less, right?! List coming shortly...

Here we go, a definite list of some of my favourite beauty products, reduced for Black Friday!

Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick (was £45, now £31)

I use this highlighter every single day. It has just the right amount of shimmer—but is never glittery—and gives my skin a subtle yet noticeable glow. I’m literally about to run out of the one I bought last year, so it went straight into my basket earlier!

NARS Blush (was £35, now £25)

After SPF, blush would be my desert-island beauty pick, and this NARS one is an OG favourite of mine. I used to opt for the iconic Orgasm shade, but these days I prefer Orgasm Edge, a newer iteration that’s a little more matte and more pigmented than its sister shade. It’s the perfect coral hue in my opinion.

Ouai Detox Shampoo (was £36, now £25)

Oh Ouai, how I love thee! Every single product from this brand gets my seal of approval, but if I could only use one for the rest of my life, it would be the Detox Shampoo. I use it once a week to give my thin, often oily hair a fresh lease of life, and honestly, it’s game-changing.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser (was £39, now £27)

Another makeup-bag essential for me is the Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. If you haven’t tried it, consider this your sign. It hits the sweet spot for me: hydrating and glow-giving, with enough coverage and staying power that I can apply it before work and still look fresh-faced when I get home late after an event. Plus, it has SPF included!

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm (was £23, now £17)

Finally, a product I own multiples of and would love to see in my stocking this year (if you’re reading this, Santa!). EveryBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK editor agrees with me: this lip balm is perfection. Next on my list to try is, of course, the shade Poppy! Shocking I don't already own this to be honest...

Hello! Editorial Assistant, Brittany here. As someone who writes beauty content on a weekly basis, I’ve tested out hundreds of products this year. And for Black Friday 2025, I’ll be bringing you the few that have impressed me so much, they’ve made their way back into my basket again.

I have eczema and very dry skin, so I’m all about the skincare and makeup products that will give me that natural glow, without, of course, causing irritation. The bargain beauty buys I’m about to share come tried, tested, and sensitive skin-approved.

Nars Light Reflecting Primer (Was £39, Now £27)

I had been recommended this primer by my mum, aunts, and a professional makeup artist before I tried it, and now I cannot do my makeup without it. Infused with 93% skincare ingredients, including double hyaluronic acid, squalane, and peptides, this hydrating primer provides me with a smooth, even, and dewy base for my foundation to last all day.

Refy Tinted Lip Gloss (Was £16, Now £12)
In my opinion, nothing beats a nude lip gloss, and Refy’s tinted lip gloss is by far the shiniest formula I’ve ever tried. There are 15 different shades to choose from, so there’s something to suit everyone. I already own four of the nude shades, but at 25% off, I couldn’t help but add another 2 more to my basket.

La Roche-Posay B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm (Was £20, Now £14)

As someone with eczema and who also suffers from constant flare-ups, any cream that has fragrance or harsh ingredients gets an automatic no from me. I’ve been using La Roche-Posay’s B5 Repairing Balm since I picked it up in a Parisian pharmacy at the end of 2023. It’s gentle, hydrating and doesn’t irritate my skin when I have open cuts from a flare-up. Plus, French products are a bit more expensive here in the UK, so Black Friday is a great opportunity to get them at a lower price!

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation (Was £52, Now £42)

I love Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation because of how lightweight and hydrating it is. Usually, I’d have to do a number of steps of skin prep to make a foundation work for me, but with this formula, I only need my La Roche-Posay moisturiser (and, of course, my SPF!) underneath, and the foundation leaves my skin looking healthy and glowy for the entire day.

I’m about to share my all-time favourite winter fragrance that I’ve been repurchasing for years. It’s elegant, sophisticated and has, by far, earned me the most compliments of any of the perfumes I own....Happy shopping!

Narciso Rodriguez Poudrée Eau de Parfum (Was £105, Now £74)

Any perfume that’s elegant, powdery, and can make me smell like an expensive French woman gets a yes from me. With notes of musk, orange blossom, and Bulgarian rose, this scent is literally like wrapping a warm cashmere blanket around you. I get so many compliments when I wear it, with people even mistaking it for a chocolate-based perfume. So naturally, I’ve restocked this long-lasting EdP in the largest size whilst it's on special to see me through the upcoming party season.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 (was £49, now £36.75)

Me again! I’ve just got back online after a meeting and noticed the Medik8 Crystal Retinal range is also in the BF offer. As someone who has had acne their entire adult life, I can attest to Medki8 being one of the all-time best skincare brands for acne-prone skin. Of course, retinal products are great for a multitude of things, back have really improved my skin from being prone to break-outs. Medki8's retinal products cleverly are numbered as they go up in strength, I'm currently on number 6, which is also included in the 25% off deal. Score!

I'm back! It's Shannon again, getting ready to sign off from our Black Friday beauty deals. We've been scrolling for over 13 hours now, and feel pretty confident we've scoured every corner of the internet. Before we dart, I just wanted to say thank you so much for joining us on this little Black Friday adventure today—we've had a blast!

My parting gift to you is one final deal that I can't believe I missed earlier on Sephora. You're welcome!

Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter in Black Cherry (was £33, now £27)

This nourishing lip butter from Dior is probably my most-used lip product of 2025. If you like to wear a little bit of colour on your lips but hate the drying effects of lipstick, this nourishing butter balm is for you. It's available in five shades, but the most winter-coded one, Black Cherry, is the hue I'm most obsessed with thanks to its deep, brown-toned finish.
