Black Friday beauty deals 2020: LookFantastic, Cult Beauty, Boots and more

The Black Friday sales are now in full swing, and this year many of our favourite beauty brands have huge discounts on their hottest items. It’s a great time to stock up on skincare, make-up, fragrance, hair products – not to mention Christmas gifts and stocking fillers.
However, with thousands of sites taking part, the act of trawling for deals can feel a little overwhelming. To keep things more manageable for you, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest deals from the biggest names, so you have an easy means of seeing what’s happening in the world of beauty sales.
LookFantastic
LookFantastic is not messing around – they already have 30 to 50% across all aspects of their site. In the skincare section, we love Sarah Chapman’s Skinesis Overnight Facial, marked down to £36.18 – fantastic if you want to slather something on at night in the knowledge your face will look plumper, more hydrated, and better rested in the morning. And the CeraVe Smoothing Cleanser, £9, is great for calming skin upset by winter weather and mask-wearing.

FeelUnique
Beauty site FeelUnique is offering up to 33% off across their site. You’d go well to snap up a GHD hair styler, as they’re currently discounted. Most attractive of all, when you spend over £100, you’ll receive a free FeelUnique beauty bag, worth £100.
Boots
We have a further round-up of the Boots beauty and fragrance buys here, but it’s also a canny move to consider the sales an opportunity to pick up some key beauty tools that are usually prohibitively costly.
If you’re after full, bouncy, bountiful curls without the hassle, the BaByliss Curl Secret is remarkably straightforward. Just pop a section of your hair in the clasp, and it will be gently transformed into the perfect curl. It’s marked down from £119.99 to £58.
Keeping your pearly whites in their best condition has been more difficult than usual this year, with lockdowns making regular dental visits harder to come by. The Oral B Genius 9000 Black Electric Toothbrush is fantastic to keeping your teeth bright at home – and with the price knocked down from £300 to £90, it’s considerably more affordable.

IT Cosmetics
IT Cosmetics are the go-to company if you want gorgeous skin that doesn’t look ‘done’. Their stand-out product – and one that every lady should have in their beauty bag – is the ‘Your Skin But Better CC Cream.’ This fool-proof product is to be slathered on skin, and make lacklustre complexions even and glowy, not to mention hydrated and protected with SPF50. The site has 25% everything with the code GIVEME25 at checkout.

Avon
Avon continues to endure as an impressively reliable, affordable cosmetics brand. Their Black Friday discounts are good – up to 40 per cent off – and they’re a good place to head to for stocking fillers.

Cult Beauty
Cult Beauty is promising big things in the coming days, so keep your eyes open for sales. Currently, you can pick up the acclaimed Pixi Skintreats Best of Vitamin-C selection for 40% off, £12.
