What sets shopping beauty apart from other departments like fashion and electronics is that its products rarely go on sale.

Unlike fashion most skincare and makeup aren’t seasonal, with most of us having loyalty to our favourite brands and hero products that spans years, if not decades.

This is what makes Black Friday one of the best times to restock your bathroom cabinet – the majority of retailers offer the best discounts of the year during the Black Friday sales.

Myer is offering 20 per cent off big beauty brands, including 20 per cent off the premium skincare line Skinceuticals. This is a great time to buy the brand’s cult vitamin C product, the C E Ferulic Serum, as it’s down to $193.60.

The price tag is high, but it truly is an incredible vitamin C serum – my skin road-tested the brand for over a month, and you can read my detailed review of it here.

And if you’re a big fan of Clinique, now is the perfect time to shop, with a free gift offer that is too good to ignore. Simply spend over $130 on Clinique at Myer and receive a five-piece gift – score!

There’s also $400 off the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long at The Iconic. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen in a long time – add it to your shopping cart for just $549, down from $949.

You're never going to see low prices on the Dyson Airwrap like this again.

If you’re looking to update your self-care routine, head straight on over to James Cosmetics. The retailer is slashing up to 60 per cent off the site, including 40 per cent off the 24K Gold & Collagen Crystal Eye Mask. They are the perfect way to prep your delicate under eye area before makeup – many happy shoppers have said it provides a “noticeable difference”.

You can also score their The Eraser Eye Mask for 40 per cent off too — shoppers say you get “instant results” as the mask “does wonders” for dark under-eye circles.

WHEN IS CYBER MONDAY?

WHAT IS BLACK FRIDAY?

Originating in the United States, Black Friday is a sales event held every year the Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving.

It was first held as a day of sales to mark the beginning of the Christmas shopping season during the 1980s, but has evolved from an American-only 24 event to a multi-day, global discount bonanza.

Black Friday has only been happening in Australia for the last decade or so, but since 2019 the event has outstripped Boxing Day as the biggest shopping sale of the year.

In 2021 Australians were estimated to have spent $8 billion shipping during the four days spanning from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, according to NAB.

WHY IS IT CALLED BLACK FRIDAY?

While Black Friday sales have only been around since the 1980s the origin of its name go back to the 19th century and are rather bleak.

One of the first known instances of using the name Black Friday was when two Wall Street financiers bought a heap of gold in the hopes of the price spiking. But instead the price fell dramatically, causing many businessman to go bankrupt. This all went down on Friday, September 1869 making it a “Black Friday” for the stock market.

The Black Friday nickname emerged again in he 1950s US city of Philadelphia, where thousands of tourists would flood the city after Thanksgiving for a football game and shopping. The ensuring mayhem from troublemakers and traffic jams saw the day coined “Black Friday”.

Thankfully since the 1980s Black Friday has only been used to describe the shopping events that allows you to shop big brands at a discounted price — yay!
