Love it or hate it, Black Friday [1] is back with even better deals than last year (if you can believe it) — beauty included.
Although we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, we do like to get involved in the postholiday sales. And luckily for us, brands seem to offer better deals year upon year. In fact, the deals are so good that many people choose to wait until the the end of November to buy the TV they've been eyeing or hold out investing in an Amazon Alexa until the deals come around. But nowadays, it's not just technology that delivers some of the best bargains around [2]; beauty also has deals that you just can't miss.
This year especially, we're generally being a bit more careful when it comes to spending our pennies, and we're definitely more aware than ever before that quality vs. quantity when it comes to gifts helps avoid unnecessary, excess consumption. Black Friday doesn't mean going out and buying 10 times what you normally would just because it's discounted (no matter how tempting it might be) but rather planning your purchases ahead of time and saving a few quid — particularly as we head into the festive season.
From total relaxation with Aromatherapy Associates offers to helping replant trees with BYBI's "Green Friday," there are so many offers to choose from, which will save you some cash without going OTT on consumption. Read on to see some of the best beauty deals [3] this Black Friday.
