Debenhams has launched its Black Friday sales event ahead of schedule, offering shoppers substantial discounts of up to 70 per cent across its entire product range, with an additional 25 per cent reduction available on selected items.
The digital retailer, which transitioned to online-only operations after closing its physical stores, has significantly expanded its inventory, now featuring popular fashion brands including Karen Millen, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Oasis and Burton.
Beauty Bonanza: Advent Calendars and Premium Products
The retailer's renowned beauty department, always a highlight during its department store days, has become even more compelling in its digital format. Shoppers can find leading brands such as Urban Decay and Clarins among the extensive makeup, skincare and haircare selections.
One of the standout offers includes the Debenhams beauty advent calendar, reduced by 20 per cent from £150 to £120. Industry experts value the contents at over £700, making this a particularly sought-after item that's unlikely to remain in stock for long.
The calendar features several customer favourites, including Urban Decay's vitamin C-infused all-nighter setting spray and a full-size Benefit 24-hour brow setter.
Fashion and Fragrance Finds
Fashion enthusiasts can capitalise on substantial savings, with the Karen Millen belted tailored maxi coat reduced by 50 per cent from £449 to £224. The dark green wool-blend coat features contrasting PU leather on the collar and gold-tone buttons, embodying the 'heritage-core' trend recently popularised by Claudia Winkleman in The Celebrity Traitors.
Fragrance lovers have multiple options to explore, including Prada's Paradoxe eau de parfum (50ml), discounted from £105 to £74.81. Described as an "undeniably feminine" scent with amber and tangerine notes, it's suitable for year-round wear.
Another perfume deal sees Armani's Diamonds She eau de parfum reduced by more than half, now available for just £29.45 with the code 'BEAUTY5'.
Homeware and Gift Opportunities
For those seeking home organisation solutions, the OHS boucle large oval ottoman storage box has been reduced by 40 per cent, now priced at £29.99 instead of £49.99. This versatile piece serves as both storage and additional seating while adding a soft cream boucle finish to home decor.

Skincare enthusiasts can save on Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Rescue Serum, reduced from £70 to £53.96, while Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid drops from £36 to £25.65. The latter was recognised as the best BB cream for dry skin in expert reviews.
Additional notable deals include the Beauty Works jumbo waver at £52.50 (reduced from £70), favoured by Molly-Mae Hague for creating beachy waves, and Urban Decay's All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray in the jumbo 236ml size, now £30.64 instead of £43.
Black Friday 2025 officially occurs on 28th November, with sales continuing through the weekend until Cyber Monday on 1st December. However, Debenhams has initiated its 'Black November' event early, promising further price reductions in the coming days.
