Black Friday Beauty: It’s a Jungle Out There!

November 28th, 2008 by Karen 16 Comments

To put it mildly, there’s gold in them thar hills! You name the store, they’ve got a Black Friday sale. With the down economy, companies are desperate to separate us from our savings, but I have a feeling these aren’t necessarily the best deals we’ll see. I think the offers will get better over the next few weeks as Christmas nears…

Suki Pure Skin Care

They’re offering some limited edition gift sets, like the Luscious Color Kit. It comes with their tinted active moisturizer in Natural, triple cream eye definer shadow/liner/brow in Gossamer and pure cream stain lip/cheek in Vermilion for $100.

Or how ’bout the Deluxe Nourishing Travel Kit? You get their moisture rich cleansing lotion, concentrated nourishing toner, exfoliate foaming cleanser, intensive brightening cream, intensive brightening masque and pure facial moisturizer all housed in a sleek all natural bamboo tube case ($75).

Shu Uemura 20% off Friends & Family

Save 20% and get free shipping with Shu Uemura’s Friends & Family sale. Use promo code SHUFRIENDS at checkout; good through Dec. 1.

Benefit Cosmetics

They’ve also got some nice gift sets like this Benefit Peace, Love & Glossiness lip gloss set for $26, available online or at Sephora, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s stores. You get six of their most popular colors for about $4.25 each!

Or, check out the Benefit Primpcess glamorous eye primping kit for $34. A limited edition jewelry box design housing their boi-ing 02 concealer; creaseless cream shadow/liner in r.s.v.p.; 3 powder shadows for contouring, accenting & lining; BADgal mini mascara; eye bright instant eye brightener and brushes galore.

Prescriptives

Get free standard shipping on orders $50 and up, as well as their full-size Colorscope Lipcolor with any $35 purchase using promo code PXHOLIDAY3 at checkout.

Sephora

The store’s a regular gold mine today, but it’s gonna be a madhouse, too. I’m just gonna shop online. They’re offering free shipping on select items using promo code GIFTY at checkout.

Bath & Body Works

They’ve got an interesting $15 limited edition VIP Gift Bag ($100 value) with any $40 purchase.

Mark

    Happy Black Friday! I posted a whole bunch o’ coupon codes on my blog too! This year it seems like the discounts are much better. However, I’m determined to keep my money in my pocket. Hope you have a good time shopping!

    Yikes, I think today I am going to actually brave the crowds and do some shopping! I normally never do it in person on Black Friday (online only) but what the hey. Of course I always end up seeing more stuff I want rather than gifts for others. 🙂

    Piffle! Canada doesn’t have Black Friday (which sounds so ominous you know) so the Sephora discounts and whatnot don’t apply to us Northerners. *sigh*

    I actually just woke up from going out last night/this morning.

    I was one of those crazy people that stood in lines for hours, but I can say, I got a nice new digital camera for like half price, that I normally couldn’t afford..and I hit up Bath and Body Works, because, well, their VIP bag or whatever it’s called kept telling me to buy it 😛

    bluefly.com is offering 20% off on coats and outerwear. Why do I know that, because I’m debating if I should get a new coat or not (even though I don’t forcibly *NEED* one). Oh jeeze. I’m going nuts.

    OMG just got home from the mall. Went with my boyfriend, we could not find anywhere to park. After 20 minutes of driving around in the parking lot madness we left.

    Hi Dao,

    Yah… I’m going to try and squirrel away some moolah, too, although I’ve very tempted by all the sales. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! 🙂

    Hi Nosh,

    Nice! I hate shopping when there’s a huge crowd, too. But back in the day when I worked at the mall I did enjoy being there during the Christmas season…

    I went to Macys at Union Square on Friday and it took me almost 2.5 hours to get there from Northern Marin. It wasn’t as bad as it sounds. I found parking very easily. I didn’t buy anything for me but for my sister I got her a peacoat.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
