From Sephora to Dermstore, here’s where to find the best beauty bargains this holiday season.
The holidays are the best time of year to makeover your makeup because everything’s on sale! Some of our favorite beauty brands — like MAC, bareMinerals, and Clove + Hallow — offer their full-priced items at a major discount. Even the big beauty retailers like Sephora and Dermstore (where you can shop across all of your favorite brands at all different price points) are offering sitewide discounts. And some of the high-end skincare brands that literally never go on sale are part of the events. Major win!
Below, we’ve rounded up the best of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty sales. Whether you want to try a new shampoo and conditioner duo or you want to totally revamp your self-care routine, we bet you’ll find the products you’re looking for on sale right now. We suggest taking an assessment of what’s currently running low in your beauty bag and then shopping your heart out for new products that will keep you fresh in the New Year. It’s also the perfect time to try out a new beauty brand you’ve heard about but didn’t want to risk paying full price for if you weren’t sure you’d like the product.
But take note: the Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty sales are only available for a limited time. And unlike years past when Black Friday lasted a single day (and we all had to make a mad dash to the stores at midnight to reap discount benefits), all of the brands below are kicking off their Black Friday sales at the beginning of Thanksgiving week and will mostly last through Cyber Monday. So, what are you waiting for? Fill up your bathroom shelf with the products that will make you feel and look your best!
