You guys, Black Friday sales are HERE. Are you excited? Nervous? Freaking out? SAME. So many products! So many discounts! So many promises! Where to start?
Well, that's why we're going to do it together!
''Cause as someone who has tried too many products to count, I'm here to tell you all the good stuff I've tried and loved, so you can add it to your wishlist and get yourself a sweet bargain.
Watch: Dirt build-up wreaked havoc on your makeup draw? Here's the quick fix. Post continues below.
And while some of these products won't officially go on sale until Friday, others have had a head start and are already discounted on-site. Cheeky!
Let's get to it, shall we?
Here are all the best beauty products I'll be shopping for in the Black Friday sales.
SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF, was $228 now $193.80 (40 per cent off).
Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask in Gummy Bear, was $28 now $23.80 (15 per cent off).
While the cult Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has been around for a while now, the newest 'it' flavour is Gummy Bear - and YES it's good. I slap a thick layer of it on my lips before bed and they feel lovely and hydrated come morning.
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Face Mask, was $77 now $65.45 (15 per cent off).
Have you tried this stuff? It's bloody good. I pretty much used a whole tube of it during lockdown (skin was dry as hell) and I need it in my life again.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, $205 (up to 40 per cent off).
Kevin.Murphy Hydrate Me Wash, $40.95 (up to 40 per cent off).
This is my absolute favourite shampoo, so AS IF I'm not going to stock up! Smells like heaven and makes my dry AF hair feel all silky and nice. Heaven.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara, $24.95 (up to 40 per cent off).
I still haven't tried this, and it hurts my soul. The buzz around Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara was HUGE (just look it up on TikTok) - so I'm keen to see if it's worth all the hype!
Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, $68 (up to 40 per cent off).
This pretty pink gel moisturiser feels like a burst of water on your face. It plumps, hydrates and smooths the skin, and works beautifully under makeup. As someone with an *actual* flake for a face, as if Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator wouldn't be on my Black Friday wishlist.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume, $13.46 (up to 40 per cent off).
I always have a tube of this stuff kicking around. A dermatologist recommended it to me a few years back when annihilated my skin with acids - and since then, it’s just become one of those staples that I always repurchase.
Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50+, was $47 now $39.95 (15 per cent off).
Sephora has 20 per cent off Ultra Violette and YES you should stock up on SPF - silly question. This is one of my faves of the bunch - it's lightweight, perfect for dry skin and doesn't leave behind a slick of greasy residue. Love it.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, was $105 now $84.00 (20 per cent off).
This is one of my all-time fave foundations but it's also spendy - so I usually wait for the sales to snap it up. I love this formula because it's beautifully lightweight and silky and honestly feels like you're wearing nothing at all. Plus, it's great if you have dry skin, that's prone to flakiness and tantrums.
Benefit Gimmie Brow, was $45 now $38.25 (15 per cent off).
Grown Alchemist Enzyme Exfoliant, was $70 now $52.50 (25 per cent off).
My skin tends to freak TF out when I use acids - but this guy from Grown Alchemist is the one exception. It's formulated specifically for sensitive skin, and helps gently exfoliate and smooth without pissing off your skin barrier.
MCoBeauty Skinny Liquid Liner, was $14 now $9.80 (30 per cent off).
Even beauty editors suck at eyeliner (see: ME). I love this eyeliner formula because it's super easy to use - the pen is nice and thick and really helps me not eff up my wing situation.
Want more? Greedy little thing.
