Welcome to Black Friday November! Sales have been underway for a couple weeks now and it’s been a daily task to try to keep up with everything happening. I’m starting my sale roundup a bit earlier this year, and will continue to update them up until Cyber Monday.
I’m seeing some really great discounts this year – better than last year’s sales, even.
However, as I like to remind everyone every year, if you are overwhelmed or not in a position to spend a lot of money, click out of this post. Unsubscribe from store emails, don’t go on social media where you’ll see ads. That’s the only way I’ve been able to ignore sales when I felt tempted. If you do want to shop, make a list of items you’re looking for rather than aimlessly shopping deals. It’s so easy to get sucked into something just because it’s on sale, then never using that item again once you get it. I’ve personally found that making a list of items I’m interested in helps me stay on track with what I’m looking for.
BEAUTY – GENERAL (department stores and retailers)
Bergdorfs – $50 off $250, $100 off $400, $250 off $600+ ongoing now – includes brands like Victoria Beckham Beauty, Hermes Beauty, and Byredo.

Saks Fifth Avenue – 15% off select beauty

Ulta – Black Friday deals live now
Violet Grey – up to 25% off no code needed, starting now. One of my favorite sales of the year for luxury beauty items, and I’ve already made my purchase! It’s the best time to get my favorite but super pricey Sisley Paris Double Tenseur Primer – amazing for plump, super healthy skin while also gripping onto makeup to make it last all day and night. This year, I picked up:
- Crown Affairs Dry Shampoo – I’ve heard great things about this and I love that it comes in a loose powder compact format
- Fara Homidi Essential Lip Compact – I’ve also heard great things about these and curiosity got the better of me
- Homecourt Cece Hand Wash – I’ve been seeing some hype about these and I’m just about out of hand soap
- Les Filles en Rouje Face Palette
- Salt and Stone Bergamot and Hinoki Shower Gel – absolutely heavenly scent that’s the right balance of floral and earthy; and the formula feels really great on my skin without drying it out.
MAKEUP
Armani Beauty – 30% off sitewide with code BF30. The Luminous Silk Foundation is one of my holy grails (I wear shade 3.5), and I love their Lip Power Lipsticks, which I reviewed here.
Chantecaille – 25% off sitewide, early access starting 11/19 with code STEPHANIE25. Their luminescent eyeshadows are some of my favorite shimmery shadows, and the Ultra Sun Protection SPF 45 is one of my favorite SPF/primer duos for providing a smooth and flawless but dewy base.
Charlotte Tilbury – up to 30% off kits and bundles
Colourpop – 30% off sitewide
Danessa Myricks – 30% off, no code needed. I love the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Power
Exa Beauty – 20% off no code needed. I love their Corrector in the Peach shade.
Fenty Beauty – 25% off sitewide no code needed. The sale this year also includes the Fenty Eau de Parfum, which is one of my all time fragrances and rarely on sale! It’s warm and spicy and incredibly addicting to me. My other favorites from the brand are the Eaze Drop Skin Tint, the Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream, and their classic Lip Luminizer lipgloss.
Hourglass Cosmetics – 20% off, no code needed. I always love the holiday Unlocked Palettes – and this year, I got the shades from the Snake palette because there are 5 new shades in that particular palette. On the website, you can also customize the cover of the shade combination you get, so I switched the snake cover our ffor the leopard cover.
MAC Cosmetics – 30% off, no code needed. I have my eye on the new Locked 24 Hour Lipsticks!
MAKE Beauty – 20% off makeup and 30% off select skincare with code THANKS20, starting now. So many of their products have made it to my favorite products rotation this year, including the balm serum intense, Skin Mimetic Microsuede Blushes, Eyeliners, and Dewy Gel Cheek Tints.
Merit – 20% off, starting now with code EARLY20. Shop my favorites here, and I definitely recommend their limited edition Le Gloss Set, which includes a new limited edition shimmer shade of the Solo Shadow along with a new lip liner. The Solo Shadows are also one of my favorite purchases of the year. I have the shades Brun and Midcentury and love using them on their own or together.
Rephr – 50% off and even bigger discounts on brush sets- great if you want to try some brushes. Their 03 pencil brush is an absolute staple for me and I have a few that I keep in rotation, and I recently got the 23 brush, which is a slightly smaller and finer version.
Rituel de Fille – 20% off with code 20BLACKFRIDAY and gifts with purchase
Sigma Beauty – 40% off, no code needed, plus an extra 10% off with code BEAUTYUNHYPED. Their Color Correcting Duo is an amazing undereye corrector, and it has actually replaced the Bobbi Brown Corrector as my favorite corrector. It’s creamy, but a little lighter coverage and feel compared to the BB, and looks more natural on my skin. I wear the shade Light-Medium. I also recommend their bronzer, lip oils, Bonbon eyeshadow quad, and cream blushes.
Surratt – 30% off sitewide, no code needed. I have so many essentials from the brand, but my absolute favorite products are their Dew Drop Foundation (I wear shade 8), blushes – especially the shade La Rosee du Soir, Beyond Beige quad, as well as their Noir Lash tint. They also just released new Souffle Eyeshadows that are absolutely gorgeous.
Tower 28 – 20% off, or 28% off orders over $50. I’m really enjoying their new Swipe Serum Concealer – I wear the shade KTown.
Victoria Beckham Beauty – 20% off sitewide, no code needed, starting now. Shop my favorites here, and see my brand review here.
Violette FR – 20% off sitewide, no code needed. I’ve been dying to try this brand and their new Petal Bouche Matte in the deep red Cerise Desir shade is finally hooking me in.
YSL Beauty, no code needed, on going now – 25% off. I’m absolutely obsessed with their Candy Glaze Lip Formula as well as their Shine formula (get the shade Burnt Zellige and thank me later).
SKINCARE
Bloomeffects – 30% off sitewide, no code needed. This small but powerful line has some great products using tulips. I really love their Dew Drops as a hydrating and glowy serum.
Medik8 – 30% off, no code needed. Their retinols are a cult favorite, though I haven’t tried them. My favorite product from the brand is their Clarity Peptides serum, which I feel like really helps improve the texture and feeling of my skin without any harsh AHA ingredients.
Paula’s Choice – 20% off sitewide with code GOLD. Their 2% BHA toner is an absolute holy grail for my skin.
Supergoop – 20% off sitewide
The Ordinary – anti-Black Friday. 23% off sitewide for all of November except Black Friday. I’ve been loving their Multi-Peptide Lash Serum – I’ve really seen a difference in breakage and even a little boost in growth since using this serum over the past month. I’m also really enjoying the Squalane Cleanser as an easy first cleanse, and used up an entire tube already.
Three Ships Beauty – Buy 2 get one free (code ONEFREE), or 30% off (SAVE30) – I recently did a sponsored post for the brand but I really am enjoying their Dew Drops Mushroom Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum as well as their Radiance Day Cream.

Dedcool – 30% off ongoing now, no code needed. Shop my favorites here – which include the Milk perfume, Dedtergent, and Rocco Mint perfume.
Ellis Brooklyn – 25% off sitewide with code BLKFRIDAY. I love their new Apple Love Fragrance, which smells like a crisp apple cider on a fall day.
Living Proof – 25% off + free shipping on orders $50+ and full size OG dry shampoo with $75+ or jumbo size OG dry shampoo with $100+, use code STEPHANIE25 starting Nov 17 – their Advanced Clean Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is my absolute favorite! It feels like nothing and doesn’t leave a white cast.
Necessaire – full size body serum is included with any purchase, plus use code UNHYPED10 for 10% off
The New Savant – Buy one get one 50% off, no code needed. A lovely candle company with really unique scents. I love Mixed Feelings and they have some really interesting looking holiday scents as well.
Truffle – 25% everything, no code needed. I love the Jetset case for traveling with my liquids, and I’m probably going to get the Jumbo Jetset case to be able to hold more things, as well. I’m also eyeing their Clarity Petite Case to help organize some lipsticks.

Aritzia – up to 50% off, no code needed, ongoing now. I’ve really fallen in love with them over the past few years. Some of their more expensive sweaters are hit or miss and not as good as they used to be, but their bike shorts are my favorite I’ve ever tried (even better than Lululemon, imo), and I love their long sleeve bodysuit.
Madewell – 50% off with code LETSGO, ongoing now – I like their curvy fit jeans with the Curvy Perfect Vintage Straight in the Lunar Wash, which is a faded black. I sized down one size from my usual jean size to get my perfect fit.
