The very best beauty deals
Forget having to endlessly scroll in order to scout out a great beauty deal, we've done the hard work for you and rounded up the top discounted buys that our beauty team are adding to their virtual basket right now - including editor-approve picks from the likes of YSL and ELEMIS.
Formulated with 1.5% hyaluronic acid, this serum from L'Oréal offers a hit of hydration to both the complexion and deeper within under the skin's surface, while also smoothing and re-plumping any fine lines.
A go-to of Digital Beauty Writer, Naomi Jamieson's, YSL's Libre Eau de Parfum is a the epitome of a chic and sophisticated scent. The fragrance boasts notes of lavender, tangerine and neroli, with a creamy base of Madagascan vanilla and white musks.
Infused with English Rose Oleo Extract, ELEMIS' iconic cleansing balm not only works to remove makeup, dirt and grime but also boosts the skin's natural moisture. There are also plenty more opportunities to snap up Elemis deals on an array of their skincare saviours.
Skincare staples
Whether you're looking to restock your unsexy skincare staples or treating your skin to some winter TLC with a top-shelf buy, we've spotted discounts of up to 40% on some of our Digital Beauty Editor Aleesha Badkar's, go-to beauty products - from the likes of CeraVe, La Roche-Posay and ESPA....
I am constantly plagued by facial tension, so am always trying out different tools to really get into my muscles - and the contours on this made it a game-changer. Designed to ease inflammation around the eyes (which it definitely does), this jade tool soothes and depuffs. But it's also the perfect shape and size to take on-the-go if you ever need a tension reliever - great for easing headaches too!
For such a cult product, this cleanser is already really affordably-priced - but not only do you get more for your money in this hefty 1L bottle, the 17% discount makes this the perfect time to buy. A product that I use at least once a day, I always make sure to stock up on this supersize offering whenever it has any sort of discount - and I nag my friends to do the same too.
I never thought I had hyperpigmentation until I used this serum. One that I could wax lyrical about all day, it cleared up even subtle dark patches on my face, revitalised my skin health (no more breakouts!) and gave me an overall glow that left multiple people convinced I was wearing makeup. It's not the most affordable of serums (though definitely not the most expensive either), but it's one I was genuinely devasted to finish - so the 30% discount means I can finally stop trying to swipe my sister's bottle...

Black Friday shopping advice
We bring you all the tips and advice on how to get the most out of your Black Friday shopping, including what to expect for Black Friday 2025...
When did Black Friday beauty deals run this year?
Black Friday kicked off on Friday 29th November 2024 and deals ran across Cyber Weekend until Cyber Monday, 2nd December. Like previous years, some retailers offered even further reductions for Cyber Monday, such as Argos, Sephora and Look Fantastic all boasting huge discounts on popular beauty buys. The deals also ran earlier in the month, with some retailers starting sales as early as 1st November.
Are Black Friday beauty deals usually better than Cyber Monday?
Collectively, throughout our years of Cyber Weekend bargain-hunting experience, we've found most Black Friday and Cyber Weekend beauty deals to be at the same reduced price during Cyber Monday. However, we've noticed that many of the particularly popular beauty favourites have sold out quickly during Black Friday, so haven't always made an appearance in the Cyber Monday sales.
Are Cyber Weekend beauty deals better than Boxing Day?
Many choose to shop the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales in the run-up to Christmas, in order to make the most of discounts on some of the best Christmas gifts for her or the best Christmas gifts for mum. Although, there are also plenty of other sales post-Black Friday that boast opportunities to bag a good deal - for example, the Boxing Day sales and Cyber Monday deals can be as good as Black Friday.
However, it is worth noting that it can be a slightly trickier task to find discounts on particularly coveted items, such as luxe hair tools and products with viral status, once Cyber Weekend is over. While we can't predict exactly what is going to be featured in each of the upcoming sales, we think the best time to snap up a real bargain (or to buy your Christmas gifts) is Cyber weekend, as retailers are likely to offer more generous discounts during the countdown to Christmas. Plus, you won't need to worry about early morning queues on Boxing Day - it's a win, win.
When is Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday usually falls on the last Friday of November, the day following the American holiday of Thanksgiving.
In 2025, it's likely that Black Friday will take place on Friday 28th November, with Cyber Monday following on Monday 1st December.
What beauty deals will there be on Black Friday 2025?
You'll be pleased to know that almost all top beauty brands tend to run Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions, although some definitely offer deeper price discounts than others. There are a host of brands, such as Dyson, that rarely offer discounts throughout the rest of the calendar year, however, Cyber Weekend is one of the few times of year to nab a luxury hair tool for a fraction of its retail price, with some stellar Dyson Airwrap deals on offer and unmissable discounts in the ghd sale.
We'll bring you more information on Black Friday 2025 as we know it.
