When it comes to beauty these days, prices can start to add up very quickly. You add a moisturiser, serum and sunscreen to your cart and all of a sudden your order comes to $200 plus.
This is why when huge sales events like Black Friday come around, it pays well to take note.
From expensive big ticket items like LED masks to more affordable buys like a chemist moisturiser, thousands of beauty items have been reduced this week. But most sales end on Cyber Monday, December 2, so if you see something you like you better act fast.

EDITOR’S PICKS: BLACK FRIDAY BEAUTY DEALS
COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Repair Cream, $15.47 (down from $43) at Amazon Australia
You’ve probably seen this moisturiser, or its serum counterpart, on your TikTok and for good reason. This cult product is not only incredibly hydrating but also gentle and soothing too.
news.com.au checkout Shopping Writer, Harriet Amurao, previously trialled the serum and is a big fan.
“I’ve been using it for a few weeks – morning and night, and my skin has noticeably been more plump, hydrated and glowy with less redness.
“A little goes a long way with this guy so it’s totally worth the price, and it works great as a base for your make up too.
“The COSRX All in One Snail Cream is genuinely a game-changer and truly deserves a spot in your staple skincare routine,” she wrote in her review.
Liquid Gold with 5% Glycolic Acid, $57.71 (down from $76.95) at Alpha-H
OK, now that you’ve repaired your skin barrier with the above serum you can get to work with damaging it with this exfoliating treatment. Just kidding!
Alpha-H’s Liquid Gold with 5% Glycolic Acid has been a bestseller for over 25 years and has been clinically proven to increase luminosity, improve elasticity and even tone and texture.
I’ve been using it on and off for years now and I always notice such a difference in my skin when I do.
Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50+ 50ml Luminising Skinscreen, $39 (down from $52) at THE ICONIC
This sunscreen was unavailable for a few months while the brand was reformulating but it’s finally back and better than ever.
I trialled this for our best sunscreens roundup earlier this year and was seriously impressed.
“I’ve been trialling it for a few months now and I can confirm it is just as good as, if not better than, the OG.
“Just like the one you know and love, this Queen Screen still has a silky serum texture that easily melts into the skin, leaves a glowy finish and has that lovely rose scent,” I wrote at the time.
Always read the label and read the directions for use. Avoid prolonged exposure in the sun and wear protective clothing, hats and eyewear when exposed to the sun. Frequent reapplication is required for effective sun protection.
Dyson Airwrap Multi-Stylerâ and Dryer Complete Long, $678 (down from $849) at Myer
We couldn’t make a best beauty deals list and not include the only and only, Dyson Airwrap. Needing no introduction, if you’re wanting to splurge this Black Friday the Airwrap (or the newly released Airstrait) is the way to go.
And at $649, for a buy that doesn’t go on sale very often, we’re sure this is a buy you absolutely won’t regret.
Sea Cucumber Collagen Regeneration Serum, $83 (down from $119) at Bescher Beauty
Depending how into beauty you are, you may or may not have heard of this best-selling serum. Since it launched in 2019, Aussie brand Bescher Beauty has racked up thousands of fans.
From a waitlist of 30,000 to selling out in just four days, the cult following is no accident and it’s thanks to the company’s hero ingredients, sea cucumber collagen.
The serum is designed to rapidly influence collagen production and boost skin cell turnover, therein improving skin elasticity, tone and texture and reducing inflammation.
Q-Rejuvalight Pro LED Mask, $410 (down from $519) at Qure Skincare
I tried this mask out earlier this year and must say I’m happily surprised how well it works.
I found it made my skin a lot brighter, bouncier, more firm and heavily lightened older dark spots from past acne.
A LED mask isn’t cheap so snapping one up when on sale is definitely a good idea.
Read for my full review here.
Constantly topping bestsellers lists, this affordable sunscreen has been a favourite at news.com.au checkout for a long time.
“The TikTok girlies really didn’t lie about this one – it’s truly worth the hype and price, my new holy grail,” wrote Shopping Writer Harriet Amurao in her review.
“It absorbs into the skin really effortlessly, doesn’t leave a white cast and has no unpleasant scent whatsoever.”
Always read the label and read the directions for use. Avoid prolonged exposure in the sun and wear protective clothing, hats and eyewear when exposed to the sun. Frequent reapplication is required for effective sun protection.
Interchangeable Blow Dry Brush, $111.30 (down from $159) at Mermade Hair
For those wanting to upgrade their hair tools but don’t want to drop a small fortune, Mermade Hair is a great option.
This interchangeable blow dry brush comes with three different heads so you can dry, smooth and style your hair all with one tool.
I find blow-dry brushes super easy to use and they’re always the first tool I reach for when styling.
Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, $391 (down from $550) at Amazon Australia
For the Hailey Bieber fans out there, this one is for you.
The model used this tool in a TikTok video that has since rocked up a casual 17.5 million views. The device offers enhanced absorption of your skincare products, improved radiance and elasiticty, pore care and customised LED care.
While it is pricey, it’s currently on sale for over $150 off so if you were thinking about it now is the time to buy.
CeraVe Moisturising Cream 170g, $12.79 (down from $15.99) at Adore Beauty
”If I was going to be stranded on an island and could only bring one beauty product with me it would be this moisturiser,” says news.com.au checkout Editor, Hannah Paine.
It also has a cult following on TikTok with users describing it as “literally liquid gold” for very dry skin.
And on top of that, it also regularly gets mentioned as an “exact dupe” for La Mer’s Crème de la Mer, a $625 moisturiser beloved by celebrities like Beyonce and Kim Kardashian.
