The Best Black Friday Beauty Buys

If you're one of the brave people who ventures out for a little post-Thanksgiving shopping on Black Friday, then you may want to put something more than TVs, toys and holiday décor on your list. There are lots of glam and gorgeous purchases you can make to make you - and your holidays - brighter this year. Now is the time to look for those luxuries that you tell yourself all year that you can't afford - because it's likely going to be on sale either on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, the Monday after the holiday, when you can find lots of deals online. Now's the time to go for those value packs of pricey creams, antiaging gels and whatever else comes in the wallet-friendly pack. If you've been wanting to try Philosophy's Hope in a Jar line, for example, then this is the time. The same goes for makeup, like Bare Minerals. There will be some great deals on starter kits, and for those who already use the line, plenty of opportunities to stock up without breaking the bank. And if you buy your skincare at the drugstore, look to Ulta for great deals on lines like Garnier, Olay and L'Oreal - you can get them for a steal or get free gifts with your deeply discounted purchase!


If you're in the market for an electronic zit zapper, like the Zeno, it would be a great time to buy one. Or if you've had your eye on a sonic face cleaner, like the Pretika or Clarisonic, there are sure to be deals on them. Why not save your skin next summer with a self-tanning airbrush machine like the professionals use? Airbrush tan systems offer even coverage and usually run about $150-200. You might find one that's deeply discounted - or at the very least, get lots of free gifts with your purchase. It's a great time to get a jump on buying fragrances for that reason as well - gift sets that are perfect for moms, boyfriends, sisters and pretty much anyone else are going to be on sale, plus offer gifts with purchase. Use this time to grab deals on the beauty items you've wanted all year!
