Ole Henriksen Dewtopia 25% Acid Flash Facial Mask 50ml – was £41, now £30.75
If your skin ever feels dull, textured, or just a bit ‘meh’, this mask is basically a reset button. It’s packed with gentle but effective exfoliating acids, plus aloe and hyaluronic acid to balance everything out. I love that it gives that fresh, just-had-a-facial glow without being too harsh. It’s one of those products you use once and get immediate results.
The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream 15ml – was £10, now £6.95
This eye cream is basically an espresso shot for your undereyes. If you’re a tired girlie like me, this is your best friend. It helps with puffiness, brightens up the under-eye area, and layers beautifully under makeup without pilling. I always come back to this one because it just works, and at this price, it’s a no-brainer.
Caudalie Resveratrol Lift Instant Firming Serum 30ml – was £52, now £41.60
If you’re curious about incorporating retinol into your routine but want to start off with something gentler, this Caudalie serum is such a gorgeous option. It’s plumping, firming, and gives that healthy bounce to the skin. Caudalie’s patented Resveratrol Complex targets visible signs of ageing, while vegan collagen helps to smooth the complexion. The serum effortlessly sinks into skin to hydrate and soften, while aiming to leave skin looking sculpted over time.
Dr Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution Hydrating Lip Mask 20ml – was £22, now £16.50
I’ve tried a lot of lip masks in my time, from Laneige to Tatcha, and Dr Jart+’s is the latest in my collection. If you deal with dry lips (especially in winter), and are finding a regular lip balm isn’t enough, then this is a great one to go for. It’s hydrating, glossy, smells sweet, and you can use it as a primer under lipstick or as an overnight treatment.
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream 50ml – was £37, now £25.90
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream is such a great ‘everyone moisturiser’ because almost every skin type seems to get on with it. It’s lightweight, not greasy, and delivers long-lasting hydration. If you’re new to skincare and want one reliable moisturiser, this is the one I’d point you to.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Water Cream 50ml – was £75, now £56.25
If you know someone who has put anti-ageing cream on their Christmas list (or maybe you’ve put it on your own), then this Elizabeth Arden one is worth considering, especially now it’s 25% off. It’s a really luxurious, silky and non-irritating formula that helps with smoothing fine lines while feeling incredibly nourishing at the same time.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+ 50ml – was £15.50, now £10.85
If TikTok hasn’t convinced you yet, let me say it – this sunscreen is worth the hype. I’ve even bought it for my niece for Christmas. Lightweight, non-greasy, blends in well and sits under makeup beautifully without leaving a white cast. It honestly feels like a moisturiser, which is exactly what you want from your SPF.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml – was £7.70, now £5.78
This toner helps smooth texture, brighten the skin, and keep pores looking refined. It’s potent, so one to use once a week or so, but the results are so worth it. And at under £6 right now? Absolutely grab one.
Benefit BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara – was £27, now £20.25
If you want instant drama from your lashes, then this is the mascara you need. It’s jet black, super lengthening, and makes your lashes look almost falsie-like. The aero-particle technology keeps it weightless so your lashes don’t droop throughout the day.
MAC Fix+ Original Setting Spray 30ml – was £16, now £12.80 with code SAVE
With the festive season approaching, a reliable setting spray is non-negotiable and Fix+ is one of the best. It helps meld makeup into the skin and sets full glam in place for a party-ready look that won’t budge. The travel size is perfect for handbags, holidays and stocking fillers.
Armani Prisma Glass Lip Gloss – was £32, now £22.40
Not all clear lip glosses are created equal. I first tried an Armani Prisma Glass back in summer and fell in love with the luxe formula. The clear version is perfect for transforming any lip colour into a gorgeous gloss, or can be worn alone for a clean look. It’s glassy without being sticky, hydrating thanks to squalane, and looks expensive (because for a gloss, it is), but with the Black Friday discount, it’s worth it.
Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops 30ml – was £34, now £24.95
I remember a couple of years back when I couldn’t scroll five TikTok videos without seeing the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops – and they remain just as popular today. These bronzing drops give the prettiest warm glow without looking orange, and are super customisable. I love mixing a tiny bit into my moisturiser for that ‘I just got back from holiday’ skin.
ICONIC London Underglow Blurring Primer 27ml – was £25, now £17.50
If you want your skin to look smooth, blurred, and radiant, this primer delivers all of that. It gives a soft-focus glow without feeling heavy or silicone-y. Wear it alone on good skin days, or under foundation for a bright and glowy complexion.
Aveda Miraculous Oil High Shine Hair Concentrate 50ml – was £34, now £23.80
This is such a beautiful hair oil – lightweight, shiny, and it protects against heat up to 230°C. I use a tiny bit on damp hair and it leaves everything smooth and glossy. It’s even got a subtle lavender and ylang-ylang fragrance, so it doubles up as hair perfume, too.
Cowshed RELAX Calming Bath & Shower Gel 300ml – was £22, now £16.50
If you love a good wind-down routine, this shower gel is heavenly. It has that spa-like, calming scent that makes your whole bathroom feel luxurious. Perfect for gifting or just treating yourself.
NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Or Roll-On 60ml – was £26, now £19.50
I love the NUXE Huile Prodigieuse but I never liked dispensing it into my hands out of the bottle, so this roll on version is a total game changer. Ideal for festive parties, it makes applying shimmer to the collarbones, arms, and legs super quick and mess-free.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 100g – was £52, now £39
Hands down one of the best cleansing balms on the market, Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm needs no introduction. It melts away makeup like a dream and leaves the skin incredibly soft and nourished, not forgetting its indulgent lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus fragrance. With £13 off, it’s a steal for the large tub, which lasts months even with daily use.
Lookfantastic’s Black Friday lineup this year is honestly brilliant. If any of these have been sitting on your wishlist, now’s the time to finally make them yours.
