The Black Friday sales have officially come to an end, with Cyber Monday closing the curtains on the event at midnight. But if you didn't manage to bag a bargain, then I have some good news. Some of the best Black Friday beauty deals are still live – and they’re not the dregs either. I’m talking, discounts on the Dyson airwrap, Charlotte Tilbury magic cream, and some of my favourite designer scents.
As The Independent’s beauty writer, I’ve tested hundreds of products across skincare, make-up, haircare and tech, and I track prices all year round. That means every deal I recommend offers genuine value – no fluff. This year’s beauty savings in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales were strong, and throughout the sale, I picked the products that had been tested by the wider IndyBest team or me.
Fortunately, for anyone who didn't nab a deal during the shopping event, many of these deals remain. Keep scrolling for my expert edit of the top post-sale discounts still worth adding to your basket today.
The best post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals 2025
- Diptyque fleur d'oranger hourglass diffuser: Was £152, now £123.75, Allbeauty.com
- Charlotte's magic cream forever set: Was £105, now £78.75, Charlottetilbury.com
- Ghd platinum+ hair straightener and helios hair dryer bundle set: Was £418, now £293, Ghdhair.com

Shark cryglow LED face mask: Was £299, now £269.99, Boots.com
Senior shopping writer Daisy Lester was left “seriously impressed” after testing the Shark cryoglow mask for eight weeks. Its ‘blemish repair’ mode was her favourite setting, leaving her skin’s texture and appearance “significantly improved”.
While she said “the cooling function is a quick fix for tired and puffy eyes”. The “Shark mask is pricey, but it is at the cheaper end of the scale for such devices. So, if you’re looking to invest in brighter, more radiant and even skin, I don’t think you’ll have any regrets after giving this mask a try,” wrote Daisy. And right now, you can save £30 on the LED mask. It’s rare for it to be discounted, so if you’ve had this on your wishlist for a while, now’s a good time to invest.
Shark flexstyle five-in-one air styler: Was £299.99, now £197.99, Sharkclean.co.uk
Taking the top spot in beauty writer Maisie Bovingdon’s review of the best Dyson airwrap alternatives. “The lightweight, versatile and multifunctional tool made drying and styling a breeze,” wrote Maisie. “Similar to the Dyson airwrap, this Shark tool uses Coanda technology, which is when the powerful airflow collects and wraps the hair around the barrel, to create a neat curl. This function worked to hold in place the section of hair being styled, preventing it from unravelling, without disrupting other set curls, which consequently created a silky-smooth, frizz-free head of curls,” she added.
Aesop reverence aromatique hand wash: Was £33, now £24.75, Lookfantastic.com
If you own a set of Aesop hand wash and lotion bottles, then your home has officially reached its potential. If you don’t, consider yourself in luck – because the brand’s reverence aromatique exfoliating hand wash is reduced by £8.25. It took the top spot in beauty expert Pippa Bailey’s review of the best luxury hand wash, where she said it “leaves skin feeling soft, supple, smooth and, most importantly, clean.”
Molton Brown re-charge black pepper travel trio gift set: Worth £44.99, now £22.99, Groupon.co.uk
This December, every doting wife, girlfriend and mother is trying to secure a bottle of Molton Brown's re-charge black pepper shower gel for their partner or son. It's a best-seller for a reason, and if you love a fresh yet spicy scent, you'll find this right up your street. When body care aficionado Helen Wilson-Beevers used the fragrant wash for her Molton Brown guide, she praised how it "adds a spicy scent boost to bubble baths and showering alike." This set (containing the shower gel, eau de toilette and lotion) is reduced at Lookfantastic and Amazon, but Groupon undercuts both retailers with its bonus code 'CYBER', saving you £24.
Chanel Coco mademoiselle eau de parfum spray: Was £78, now £62.40, Boots.com
When it comes to the annual sales, the big designer beauty brands, such as Chanel and Dior, are always my first point of call. And I’m thrilled to see the coveted Coco mademoiselle scent still reduced. With the same rose and jasmine notes as its No5 sibling, mademoiselle adds the brightness of orange and botanics, including vetiver and patchouli, to round out the sweetness. It’s a perfect year-round scent, made even more desirable thanks to this discount.
Maybelline lash sensational sky high mascara: Was £12.99, now £7.49, Amazon.co.uk
The mascara to rival all others, Maybelline’s lash sensational sky high mascara is a tubing mascara, meaning it coats the lashes from all sides for a full and voluminous finish. It’s even more tempting with this 42 per cent off deal, and in my review of the burgundy formula, I found it left my lashes looking lengthened, volumised and defined. It didn’t leave a smudge or imprint, either, even after a full day’s wear.
Remington one dry and style hair dryer: Was £99.99, now £64.99, Amazon.co.uk
Earning the top spot in our best hair dryers review, this highly-rated hair tool has more than 30 per cent off, bringing the price down from £100 to less than £70. It “comes with four attachments for concentrated styling, flyaway taming, gentle drying, diffusing and curl-defining diffusing”, explained our tester, beauty writer Nicole Ocran. It’s suitable for multiple hair types and styling needs and features “eight heat and speed combinations, which enables you to get really precise and personalised with your hair-drying experience”, she said.
Braun silk-expert pro 5 IPL hair removal system: Was £600, now £279.99, Currys.co.uk
If you're considering swapping your razor for a long-lasting hair-removal solution, this IPL device could be for you. It works by using pulses of light to damage hair follicles and inhibit future growth – and it's currently reduced by more than 50 per cent. Although we haven't tested this model, beauty editor Lucy Partington was impressed with Braun's smart skin i-expert tool (a newer model than the pro 5), which made it into her guide to the best IPL devices.
Lucy praised the variety of attachments, describing how "the smaller head was great for use on the underarms, while the bigger attachment was good for larger areas, such as the legs". You'll receive the same heads with the pro 5, along with a discount of £320.

Urban Decay all nighter makeup setting spray, jumbo: Was £43, now £30.64, Debenhams.com
I considered this the best transfer-proof option in my guide to the best setting sprays. I loved how the Urban Decay formula helped all of my make-up products to stick, from my foundation to my setting powder. “It’s become a staple whenever I need my make-up to stay put through long days and special occasions,” I wrote.

One of my favourite foundation formulas for a long-lasting, seamless finish, Estée Lauder’s double wear is the sort of product beauty buffs come back to time and time again – and for good reason. Dubbing it the best long-lasting formula in her guide to the best foundations for acne-prone skin, professional beauty reviewer Louise Whitbread described how the liquid product left her skin looking “smooth and spot-free for hours”, and the oil-free, matte formula kept her “usual shiny T-zone at bay”.

Rapid White daily whitening toothpaste: Was £8, now £4.73, Amazon.co.uk
Rapid White’s daily whitening toothpaste took the top spot in our guide to the best. “The formula actively removes stubborn stains created by coffee, tea, red wine, and even smoking, and while my only vice from that list is a daily green tea, I certainly had enough surface stains for this toothpaste to have something to work with – and work it did,” noted beauty tester Amerley Ollennu. “I was mightily impressed by the fact that it didn’t cause any sensitivity, yet whitened so well, and at an impressive speed. Not only that, the reduction in plaque build-up I experienced added to the overall whiteness and brightness of my teeth, which made this my front runner,” she added. And right now, you can bag a bargain on the hardworking formula.

The perfume lasts on the skin for about three to four hours, with a clean, warm and slightly zesty scent.

Not only was the helios my top pick for blow-drying straight hair in my guide to the best hair dryers, but the platinum+ was assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones’ favourite of all the ghd straighteners. Sounds like a killer pairing, if you ask me.

Why you can trust us to find the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals
Lucy Smith is well-versed in the nuances of Black Friday, with several years as a shopping writer under her belt. Be it spotting genuine deals or seeking out lesser-known bargains, she knows where to turn to (and avoid) amid the chaos of promotions.
Given that it’s her job to browse beauty day in, day out, she has a good gauge on the standard prices for key industry players, such as ghd hair straighteners and premium women’s perfumes, meaning she can spot a dodgy discount from a mile off. As such, you can trust that all her selections offer genuine savings and have either been tried and tested here at The Independent or have been hand-picked from trusted, well-researched brands.
How I selected the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals
When looking for the best beauty deals, I search across a range of products at major retailers like Boots, Lookfantastic, Sephora and more. I only recommend products from trusted brands, so you can be sure you’re getting quality haircare, skincare, make-up and fragrances.
Then, to make sure these deals are really as good as they seem, I use price tracking sites like PriceRunner, PriceSpy and Camelcamelcamel to see how much an item usually costs. What you’ll find above are the best prices on offer right now.
When is Black Friday 2025?
This year, the Black Friday beauty deals started on Friday 28 November, the day after Thanksgiving for our friends across the pond, as is tradition for the sales event. The reductions continued through the weekend until Monday 1 December or Cyber Monday, as it’s more commonly known, but a lot of beauty brands and retailers are known to extend their deals beyond the official sale curtain call anyway.
What is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Nowadays, there’s not a huge difference between the two sales events, as the Black Friday deals tend to carry on into Cyber Monday. In the past, Cyber Monday was reserved for online offers, but Black Friday discounts now run in stores and online, too. You can sometimes find heftier savings on tech products on Cyber Monday, but that’s not always the case.
