Autumn is here, and this brings in cooler days, the changing color of leaves, and yes, the holidays!
While Halloween and Thanksgiving are associated with fall, another fun and engaging tradition to look forward to is shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For all shopaholics and beauty buffs, this is an exciting time of year.
Black Friday 2019 falls on November 29, the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday is that one day a year where brands apply amazing discounts on beauty items such as makeup, shampoo, skincare, and fragrances. For those of you who tend to purchase more affordable cosmetics, Black Friday gives you the opportunity to buy high-end beauty products at reasonable, stimulating prices. For the fashion divas of the world, this is your chance to buy delicious designer clothing, handbags and shoes at reasonable prices.
Cyber Monday, which takes place on the Monday after Black Friday (December 2, 2019), offers the same wonderful deals as Black Friday, but you shop online from the comfort of your home or office. Cyber Monday has become so popular that your purchases won’t break the bank, but the large amount of online activity has been known to bring down the Internet.
Major retail stores such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Target, and Walmart participate in Black Friday and Cyber Monday, offering discounts on known brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Cult Beauty, and more. In 2018, Giorgio Armani offered a 30% discount on their foundation, lipsticks, and perfumes. The fine brand Lancome placed a 30% discount on most of their beauty products.
A welcome treat on Black Friday and Cyber Monday is that major brands that rarely go on sale, such as Reebok, Glossier, and Reformation, offer money-saving discounts. Other brands that have already announced participation in 2019 are Aritzia, Ulta Beauty, Birchbox, Ann Taylor, and Express.
Beauty deals you can look forward to are brands offering 30 to 70% off items, free gifts with purchases, and buy two, get one free deals. Most retailers offer free shipping on purchases of $50 or more. What more could a true beauty lover need?
For the avid beauty buyers, many retailers and brands will begin their sales as early as November 25 and run them through Cyber Monday. With so many people beauty shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, one way to make sure you score the best deals online is to shop early and bookmark or “save to cart†the discounted items you wish to purchase.
Whether you’re stocking up for yourself, buying fabulous items for holiday gifts, or both, saving money on incredible beauty products and stylish clothing is immensely satisfying. Cosmetics and fashion make you look like a million bucks, but it doesn’t cost nearly that amount to glam up to major beauty and runway proportions. Take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
