Life
Although nearly every store has a killer Black Friday sale, there's only one shop that has my attention: Sephora. Honestly, the luxury beauty store is really stepping up its game this year. The best 2017 Black Friday deals at Sephora are a beauty addict's dream. Although you may not be able to buy the entire Fenty line for five dollars (dammit), there are some pretty sweet deals overall.
Sephora's big holiday deals are not advertised all over the place, however. The Black Friday preview for Sephora is only available on the company's app, which means I can't link directly to the specific products here. So if you want to review the store's full list of offerings, it's best to use the app. Some of the best deals from the most popular products are outlined here for your convenience, though, and they are pretty compelling. From face masks to mascara to cleansers, some big names in beauty are on sale for pretty deep discounts. There's bound to be some prestige cosmetic on sale for almost everyone on your holiday gift list.
Oh, and if you just want to buy beauty stuff for your own self, that's cool, too. In fact, it's something of a trend: last year, the prestige cosmetics market experienced huge growth — nearing $6 billion in sales — thanks in part to consumers buying holiday cosmetics for themselves, according to CNBC. There's no shame in scooping up a new lipstick or highlighter for all those holiday photos.
1Benefit Cosmetics Bestseller Blowout
Value: $43
Black Friday Price: $15
This kit features some of Benefit's cult products. It looks like the Benefit Cosmetics Bestseller Blowout kit comes with a tube of They're Real mascara ($24, Sephora), a tube of High Beam highlighter, and a Hoola matte bronzer. That's three products for less than the cost of a a tube of prestige mascara, which definitely is.
2Philosophy Purity Made Simple
Value: $36
Black Friday Price: $15
This cleanser is another beauty product with a big following. The Philosophy Purity Made simple facial cleanser ($36 for 16oz, Sephora) removes makeup and conditions skin in one go. The fragrance-free formula also makes a great makeup brush cleanser, for people who actually clean their brushes on the reg.
3Sephora Collection Colorful Cleanse & Treat
Value: $19
Black Friday Price: $10
If anyone on your shopping list is hooked on masks, then this is a deal to watch. The Sephora Collection Colorful Cleanse & Treat Kit looks like it includes a lavender foot mask ($5, Sephora), an avocado face mask ($6, Sephora), and a bottle of micellar cleansing water and milk ($4, Sephora). It's everything your gift recipient needs for a perfectly chill day.
4Urban Decay Mini Naked Illuminated Powder
Value: $32
Black Friday Price: $12
The Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Powder ($32, Sephora) will be available in a limited edition mini size for $12. Essentially, you can give the product a test drive at less than half of the regular price. The shimmering baked powder can be used on both face and body for an instant glow.
5Josie Maran Whip It Good Kit
Value: $24
Black Friday Price: $15
The Josie Maran Whip It Good kit ($24, Sephora) gives you two body butters in unscented and vanilla pear varieties, both of which feature the whipped argan oil body butters. It's a luxurious, hydrating treat anyone on your list would be thrilled to receive.
6Bite Beauty Mini Multistick Duo
Value: $20
Black Friday Price: $15
Bite Beauty is a popular brand, thanks in part to its line of unique lipsticks that include deep navy, mahogany, and merlot shades, as well as some unusual and stunning neutrals. (This is not a shill for Bite: I just like pretty lipsticks, OK?) Anyway, the Bite Beauty multistick pigments can be used on lips, eyes, and cheeks alike. For Black Friday, there is an exclusive and limited edition deal on two mini multisticks, although the preview sale site does not list the exact shades. Whatever the case, it looks like these lovelies would make a great gift for any beauty lover — and that includes you.
