What about hair products, you say? Well, Philip Kingsley’s iconic Elasticizer is the GOAT. The Elasticizer is sheer wizardry, as it brings my dry and split ends back to life for weeks after just one use. Virtue and Kerastase are other leading haircare brands worth investing in, particularly the Full Shampoo and Conditioner Set, the Kerastase Resistance Strengthening Duo for Fine to Medium Hair and Kerastase Elixir Ultimate L’Original Hair Oil to achieve a smooth and glossy finish.

For the days in between wash days there is only one hero product to fight the greasy mane – Living Proof’s Perfect Day Dry Shampoo, while those battling with hair loss may wish to trial Grow Gorgeous’ Hair Growth Serum, which has helped my hair to grow in areas that were thinning.

LookFantastic Black Friday Fragrance Deals

I don’t know about you, but Christmas is typically the time of year I will add a new fragrance, or a top-up of my signature scent, to my wish list. Thankfully, LookFantastic’s Black Friday sale will see huge discounts on fragrances, such as Tom Ford, Prada and Valentino, which makes shopping scents more purse-friendly.

Some favour a citrus or a fresh scent, such as Jo Malone’s unsung hero that is Wood, Sage and Sea Salt cologne, or the bestselling Lime, Basil and Mandarin scent. Others may prefer sweet rose aromas or vanilla accords. If Winter has you leaning towards opulent scents then you may favour the on-trend black cherry fragrances, such as YSL’s Black Opium, which has been a bestselling scent since it launched in 2014, or the warm spiced notes of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid.

I can’t forget to mention body sprays are also hugely popular for everyday wear, keeping in your Pilates bag, or for young teens teetering on the edge of premium fragrances. Cue Sol de Janeiro stans.

LookFantastic Black Friday Beauty Tech Deals

A sale is the prime time to buy those big ticket items, and that means tech devices and gadgets. I predict LED face masks that offer anti-acne and anti-ageing benefits will be in high demand, if they are on offer.

The Glamour team has tried and tested a whole host individual LED lip masks, such as Silk’n Lumilips LED Lip Mask. So, if you’re in the market for a salon-worthy device for home use, keep your eyes peeled for any price changes on the Shark Beauty CryoGlow Under-Eye Cooling and LED Mask, Silk’n’s multi-functional LED Face EMS Mask or the StylPro Wavelength LED Face Mask.

Shark launched its FacialPro Glow and Depuffi at Home Facial earlier this year, but whether it will be on offer remains a mystery. I am also keeping my eyes peeled for the handheld Déesse Pro Sculpta to drop in price to combat my hormonal breakouts, support lymphatic drainage and sculpt my facial features when I’m travelling.

The Black Friday sale often sees deals on some of the best hair removal devices that are safe for home use, such as the Silk’n home IPL device or the Braun Silk-epil 9 Flex 9002 Epilator, which saves the expense of salon visits.

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday typically falls on the fourth Friday in November, as it follows Thanksgiving, which means this year it falls on 28th November 2025.

However, some retailers, like LookFantastic, are known to kickstart the annual sale ahead of the official day.

What is Black Friday?

Black Friday is, quite simply, the ultimate sale shopping event of the year.

The November sale started as an American shopping event that followed Thanksgiving, and saw bargain hunters wake up at the crack of dawn to secure a bargain. Over time, the sale has been adopted by stores across the globe, and has extended to online retailers too.

Black Friday is typically the start of the weekend-long sale (also known as Cyber Weekend), though some retailers extend the sale to a week, fortnight, or entire month. Cyber Monday bookends the sale event, and is the last chance to snap up a bargain before the sale ends.

Big brands such as YSL, Glossier to Charlotte Tilbury are known to slash prices on select products throughout the weekend, which makes Christmas shopping a little gentler on the bank balance.
