The holidays are the best time to stock up on beauty products, thanks to stacked gift sets loaded with products at a fraction of their normal selling price: and they make fantastic gifts.
2018’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are beginning to drop across beauty retailers—and they are some of the best we’ve ever seen. At Reviewed, we test thousands of products each year, so we’ve rounded up the best skincare, makeup, and hair care sales from your favorite retailers like Ulta, Sephora, Dermstore, and more. Here are the best of the best:
Ulta
Ulta’s big sale kicks off at 5 p.m. CT (6 p.m. ET) online Thanksgiving Day, and in stores at 6 p.m. local time on the holiday at most stores. There are small gifts under $10 and $15 and sampler gift sets, which offer your giftee—or you—a chance to try products before committing to a full-size purchase. Here are some favorites:
Sephora
Beauty giant Sephora released a sneak-peek of its Black Friday beauty offerings on its app November 15. While we’re only privy to some of the items that will go on sale on Friday, prepare for gift sets priced at $50, $25, $15, and under (and some of the best offerings actually land in that sub-$15 category). Deals include favorites from Kat Von D, Clinique, Philosophy, Benefit, Versace, Peter Thomas Roth, Tarte, First Aid Beauty, It Cosmetics, Milk, and more. Here are some of our favorites:
