Black Friday is officially here and retailers are offering notable beauty deals during the event. There are also special offers on kitchen, technology and furniture, many of which run until Cyber ​​Monday.

As an associate reporter for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events and all things beauty and wellness. I’ve spent weeks scouring the sales to find the best Black Friday beauty deals that are actually worth shopping at. Every product I recommend below is highly rated and offers at least 20% off. Where possible, I checked listings using price trackers to ensure they were at the lowest price in at least three months. I will update this list regularly throughout Black Friday.

The best beauty deals for Black Friday

I have found, reviewed, and written about each offer I recommend below. I worked with NBC Select editors to finalize the live list, which I will update regularly throughout Black Friday to reflect the most current prices.

Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

4.6 star average rating from 74,153 reviews on Amazon

This serum is recommended by experts in our essence guide as it is lightweight, hydrating and suitable for all skin types. “It helps smooth the texture of my face and forehead area, and my skin feels softer and more hydrated after using it,” says Ashley Morris, deputy SEO reporter at NBC Select, who uses it to condition her skin Soothe and relieve irritation after applying potency skin care ingredients such as acids and retinol.

Summer Fridays lip butter balm

4.3 star average rating from 11,767 reviews at Sephora

This popular lip balm from NBC Selectstaff can meet most people’s needs: it is available in different flavors, scents and shades. My favorite is the brown sugar flavor because of its sheer nude/mauve tone. In my experience, every balm (no matter which one you choose) strikes the right balance between thick and shiny without feeling heavy or sticky.

Dyson Airwrap

4.1 star average rating from 1,597 reviews on Amazon

One of my most used hot tools is this multistyler from Dyson because of its versatility. Available in two versions (one for straight/wavy hair and another for curly/curly hair), the Airwrap can function as a hairdryer, curling iron, and flat iron thanks to the included attachments. What sets it apart from other devices, according to the brand, is that it maintains a set temperature to reduce the risk of heat damage. (Ed’s Note: This product was $20 off for one day in late September, but since it’s rarely on sale and recommended by our experts and staff, we think it’s a worthwhile deal.)

Crest 3D Whitestrips

4.6 star average rating from 89,811 reviews on Amazon

According to the brand, this at-home whitening treatment uses hydrogen peroxide (an enamel-safe ingredient) to whiten teeth and reduce stains. Crest says this set includes two 1-hour express treatment strips and regular 44 strips, all of which feature a non-slip handle design so you can continue to talk and drink water.

Skinfix ​​Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream

4.4 star average rating from 1,750 reviews at Sephora

This moisturizer, which has the National Eczema Association seal of approval, helps hydrate and plump my skin while strengthening my skin barrier. I like to use it morning and evening and enjoy the pump applicator that dispenses the perfect amount of cream without wasting. I apply it all over my skin (it’s non-comedogenic, so I’m not worried about it clogging my pores) and notice that any dryness and irritation I feel disappears immediately.

Laneige lip sleeping mask

4.6 star average rating from 47,238 reviews on Amazon

This expert-recommended and NBC Select staff-favorite lip mask hydrates, softens, and smoothes your lips overnight using ingredients like antioxidants and butter. NBC Select trade editor Lindsay Schneider likes to use it because it’s effective, lasts all night, and doesn’t need to be constantly reapplied. “I also like to wear it during the day. It’s a little thicker than your standard balm, but looks shiny and light on my lips,” she says.

R+Co Analog Cleansing Foam Conditioner

4.6 star average rating from 47,238 reviews on Amazon

After trying several co-washes, NBC Select editorial director Rebecca Rodriguez says this option from R+Co is her favorite. “I like that it’s foamy at first and seems to expand as you apply, almost like a mousse, so you can go a long way with a little,” she says. “After use, my hair always feels clean without being stripped of moisture; if anything, it feels hydrated.”

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream from Sol de Janeiro

4.7 star average rating from 26,430 reviews on Amazon

“After using this body cream, my skin feels so soft and smooth,” says Caitlin Cusack, NBC Select’s social media assistant. According to the brand, the rich yet lightweight moisturizer uses a combination of oils and butters to smooth, firm and hydrate the skin. Another reason Cusack loves this moisturizer is that it leaves her skin smelling good all day long. It’s scented with the brand’s Cheriosa 62 scent, which features notes of pistachio, vanilla and salted caramel.

T3 Lucea 1.5 inch flat iron

4.3 star average rating from 968 reviews on Amazon

With wide ceramic plates, nine heat settings, and its proprietary heat technology, this T3 flat iron can style all hair types and textures with fewer passes and minimal damage, according to the brand. I’ve been using this flat iron for two years and I love that it heats up in just a few seconds, making styling my thick and wavy hair much quicker. I also love that my hair is a lot less frizzy when I use this tool instead of other alternatives.
