Black Friday 2025 has arrived, bringing with it some of the most impressive beauty discounts of the year. For savvy shoppers, this presents a golden opportunity to stock up on genuine essentials, from household staples to Christmas presents and coveted cosmetics.
How to Shop Smarter This Black Friday
According to Laura Mulley, Beauty & Wellness Editor, the key to maximising savings is to shop around. While Amazon offers convenient next-day delivery for Prime members, its prices are not always the lowest. Many other major retailers are now matching or even beating Amazon's deals, often providing free delivery on orders over a certain value.
Another pro tip is to consider bulk-buying products you use regularly. Calculating the price per millilitre can reveal significant savings on items you get through quickly.
Top Beauty Deals Beating Prime Day Prices
During the last major sales event, Amazon Prime Day in July, Laura calculated her beauty savings at £99. This Black Friday, however, she has found that discounts on those same favourite products are even deeper.
Standout Skincare Savings
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 has seen a notable price drop. Previously £49, it is now available for £36.25 directly from Medik8 and other stockists like LookFantastic. This beats its Prime Day price of £39.20. This editor-approved retinal is a fantastic starting point for those new to retinoids.
The viral COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is now better than half price on Amazon. Down from £23.99 to £11.30, it's even cheaper than its Prime Day price of £11.50. Beauty influencer Jamie Genevieve has recently praised this serum for the dewy glow it imparts.
Unmissable Haircare Offers
Laura's favourite Pureology Hydrate Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner Duo Set is now a better deal at Lookfantastic. Priced at £36.12 (down from £51.60), it just undercuts Amazon's current price of £38.38 and its previous Prime Day price of £36.28.
The popular Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumiser, designed to mimic a salon blow-out, is at its lowest price for a while. It has been reduced from £50 to just £24.99 on Amazon, beating its Prime Day price of £27.99.
More Editor-Approved Favourites
The Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Face Drops in Medium are a beauty team favourite. Now only £8.84 on Amazon (reduced from £19.95), they offer a buildable, streak-free tan and are gentler on the skin than many alternatives.
For hair health, the Kérastase Genesis Hair Serum is recommended for reducing breakage and promoting fuller-looking hair. Its price has dropped from £49.50 to £31.02 on Amazon, cheaper than its Prime Day price of £32.90.
Finally, the Eylure Dybrow Permanent Tint for Brows is a go-to for the entire beauty team, saving them costly salon appointments. Now only £4.50 on Amazon (down from £8), it's a significant saving from its Prime Day price of £5.50.
