WHAT THE NEWS.COM.AU CHECKOUT TEAM IS SHOPPING THIS BLACK FRIDAY
“Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum is, in my humble opinion, one of the best beauty products on the market. Ask any beauty writer and they will tell you that ANR is seriously the GOAT. But there’s one downside, it’s insanely expensive. That’s why whenever it’s on sale I love to stock up. Right now, it’s 25 per cent off at both THE ICONIC and Adore Beauty. Seriously run, don’t walk. It not only is incredibly hydrating but also works to reduce signs of ageing and leaves your skin so radiant and glowy. When I first started using this cult buy, I received SO many compliments on my skin and I’ve been empty waiting for a decent sale for a couple of months now so I’m very excited to get that glow back.“ – Philippa Tonkin
”Never in my life did I think I’d feel so passionate about a vacuum but here we are. The Shark Cordless Vacuum has been a total game-changer as someone that lives with two dogs. There’s so many things I love about it – it’s easy to manoeuvre, has a headlight so you’ll be able to see all the hidden fur and debris that the naked eye can’t see, it comes with two extra attachments for a handheld operation and most importantly, it costs a fraction of the price of higher-end models. Plus, it’s 40 per cent off right now for Black Friday so it’s cheaper than usual – run, don’t walk!” – Harriet Amuaro
Up to 60 per cent off Boody Underwear
“My colleague Philippa recently reviewed these undies and absolutely loved them. I have been in need of some comfy everyday underwear so when I saw their Black Friday sale, I immediately added five pairs to cart – a mix of black and nude, in different styles and cuts. Can’t wait for them to arrive!” – Melody Teh
$250 off the Dyson Airstrait straightener and dryer, $499 (down from $749) at Dyson
”The Dyson AirWrap was the hottest item of 2023 and honestly, I’m still obsessed. I bought mine in the Black Friday sales last year and still reach for it as my number 1 hair tool. This year it’s all about the Dyson AirStrait and, again, I’ve been hanging out for the Black Friday sales before purchasing... looks like the waiting has paid off as it’s currently on sale for the cheapest price I’ve ever seen... just $499!!” - Claudia Coy
”Black Friday is a good time to stock up everyday essentials – like coffee! I found the L’Or Espresso Coffee Pods on Amazon reduced to $35 for 100 pods (35 cents per cup). They usually sell for $75 so this is over half price – amazing! These pods are compatible with our Nespresso machine, and I find it so convenient to have them delivered to the door in bulk. I always keep an eye on the price and this is the lowest I’ve seen all year.” – Susannah Hardy
“I’ve been obsessing over these jeans for months, holding out for the ultimate deal — and here it is! These aren’t just any jeans; they’re that timeless wardrobe MVP you can dress up or down and still look effortlessly cool. Now they’re 30% off, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign to snag them, this is it. Plus, let’s be real — your future self will thank you when you’re rocking these on repeat instead of crying into last season’s sweatpants.” – Madison Geros
“Across Black Friday, there’s some excellent deals on cologne or perfume, which make for perfect Christmas gifts for a loved one (or yourself too). We’ve spotted BOSS Bottled Infinite Eau de Parfum from Hugo Boss on sale for $63.95, which is right in the middle of what I’d be prepared to pay for fragrance. With woody top notes, plus hints of Lavender and Sandalwood, this is a great option for summer, that’s not too overpowering, and is versatile enough for wearing to work, or out and about after hours.” – Troy Nankervis
67 per cent off the Ninja Air Fryer MAX AF160, $115 (down from $349) at Myer
”Ninja’s Air Fryer MAX AF160 is now only $115 which is an over $200 discount. Like many, I’ve always been sceptical of air fryers and always resorted to the oven since it’s free. However, I am now convinced that even a caveman could cook up a storm with one of these bad boys. To fuel my cravings for freshly fried chippies, I will now purchase this Ninja air fryer for Black Friday.” – James He
”I refuse to buy any other bath towels than Sheridan bath towels – they are so soft, cosy and incredibly absorbent. And the Black Friday sales are the perfect time to shop because of the epic savings. My favourite has to be the Luxury Egyptian towel collection – I’ve got a few of the gorgeous Dew colour, but I think it’s time to stock up on a few more colours. I also love how big they are, so it feels like they’re giving you a big ol’ hug when you step out of the shower.” – Marina Tatas
25 per cent off the Boyfriend Bold Chain Necklace, $336 (down from $448) at Mejuri
“At the best of times, Mejuri creates timeless, durable solid gold jewellery at a very reasonable price. But during Cyber Week – where every single item is 25 per cent off (if you spend $150 and over) – its jewellery is a complete bargain. I’ve invested in the Mejuri Boyfriend Bold Chain Necklace in 14 karat yellow gold (Merry Christmas to Me, from Me!) and saved myself over $100. Did I mention shipping is fast and free too? I had to physically restrain myself from adding the rest of the brand’s stunning rings, bracelets and necklaces to cart but don’t let that hold you back.” – Edwina Carr Barraclough
30 per cent off the CoraSol Hvar, $55.30 (down from $79) at The Iconic
“While my heart loves a bougie buy, my wallet does not. Thankfully, this $55.30 dupe of the $1295 Hermès Oran Sandal is the perfect fix for that itch. The affordable Hvar sandals from CoraSol similarly feature a H-shaped upper band and leather sole, and I honestly can’t believe how identical they look to the designer pair and only cost a fraction of the price. Even if you’re not looking for a dupe, these sandals still make a great wardrobe staple and come in a range of colours.” – Tahnee-Jae Lopez-Vito
Up to 62 per cent off a stay at the RACV Noosa Resort
“It’s been almost a year since our last big vacation and it doesn’t sound like we’re headed overseas anytime soon, so instead I’m hoping to settle for a local stay and this deal for RACV Noosa Resort sounds like an absolute banger. It’s 62 per cent off, is family-friendly with apartment-style accommodation and has a splash park and water slides (tell me you’re a mum without telling me you’re a mum). Best of all it comes with a discounted treatment at the in-house One Spa.” – Stephanie Yip
20 per cent off the The Real Life Play Kitchen, $388 (down from $485) at Lovevery
“I’ve been subscribing to Lovevery’s Play Kits since my daughter was six months old, now she’s two and I am so excited to buy her the brand’s new The Real Life Play Kitchen, it’s expensive at $485 BUT it has a working sink with fresh, running water and a customisable back splash. AND Black Friday means it’s up to 25 per cent off, too. Am I healing my inner child, the one that wanted an A la carte kitchen and never got it? Probs. Do I care? Not a jot.” – Kara Byers
30 per cent off the CONI TOFFEE Ballet Flats, $48.97 (down from $68.95) at Novo Shoes
”I have never been a ‘shoe person’, I’ve always managed to get by with a few staples I could count on one hand. But after a number of years of wear and tear and one wedding shoe catastrophe we shall not speak of, I am in desperate need of new shoes. I’ve long known Nova to make ridiculously comfortable slides and sandals, but after checking out their online sale, I think I’m going to be buying more than just sandals. After seeing their huge (and very discounted) range of extremely chic shoes, from slides to heels, this could be the great shoe-cupboard restock I’ve been waiting my whole life for.” – Jessica Smith
“If there’s two things my neice loves, it’s Bluey and dolls. She loves to dance along to the theme tune with the Heeler family and always puts her dolls to sleep by reading them a story from her bookshelf. This makes the Bluey Advent Calendar the perfect pre-Christmas surprise. Not only will she enjoy the stories herself (and add to her enormous Bluey merch collection), but it will give her something new to read to her dolls every day in December. It’s now half price on Amazon, coming in at $19.99 - that’s less than a dollar a book!” - Rosalyn Fannin
