The 17 beauty buys we’re snapping up in the Black Friday sales
The Ordinary serum foundation
$9.78
I first came across The Ordinary’s serum foundation back in 2015. I was on holiday in New York, I bought a bottle, went back and bought more. Once I was through my stockpile, I was devastated to find out it had been discontinued. They recently brought it back and I’ve been on a buying frenzy. It’s the only foundation that works with my combination skin and the specific undertones mean I can combat redness. With Black Friday, it’s less than $10 – it doesn’t get better than that.– Lucy Bell Bird, national assistant editor
The Skin Bar The Smooth, Sculpt & Snatch treatment
$499
I’m not usually one to splurge on beauty treatments, but I’m thinking it’s time to step up my skincare routine a notch. The Skin Bar is currently offering up to 40 per cent off sitewide and I’m ready to treat myself to one of their signature treatments. The Smooth, Sculpt & Snatch combines skin needling and radiofrequency needling to rejuvenate the skin and contour your face – yes, please.– Evie Baker, photo editor
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 night serum
$79.20
I always use sales as a chance to stock up on beauty refills. This retinol serum is the best I’ve tried so far and never makes my skin overly sensitive. I usually stick to the 0.03 per cent strength, but all other options are discounted at Oz Hair and Beauty right now, too.
– Simone Richardson, shopping editor
Beauty of Joseon Revive eye serum
$28.80
I’ve gone through three bottles of this serum in the past few months, so it’s safe to say it’s a ride-or-die. My under-eye bags have always been an insecurity of mine, too, and this Korean product has been my saviour. It blends ginseng root extract and retinal liposome for a powerhouse combination that hydrates, brightens and smooths fine lines.– Pauline De Leon, branded content editor
Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre
$22.40
French pharmacy products have gone viral, thanks to their active-led, no-bullshit ingredient lists. This cream has become something of a cult favourite – and it’s finally moving off my “to-try” list and into my cabinet. Merci!
– Simone Richardson, shopping editor
Ouai hair oil and leave-in conditioner
$55
My curls are already getting crispy from the salt and sun, and my summer plans aren’t going to help in any way. SOS. Ouai's hair oil is great, so I’m nabbing a replacement now and Ouai’s leave-in conditioner (which yes, is still full price but worth every cent).Sephora’s sale starts 9pm, Nov 25– Grace MacKenzie, Sydney food and drink editor
Rare Beauty Find Comfort hydrating hand cream
$25.60
My hands are drier than the Outback and my calluses have their own calluses; hand cream is an absolute essential. Thankfully, this pocket-sized bottle fits in the tiniest of purses, so I can moisturise anytime, anywhere.Sephora’s sale starts 9pm, Nov 25– Chynna Santos, branded content editor
Typebea Intensive Repair duo
$97.50
My bleached locks could use a little TLC. I’ve been wanting to try Rita Ora’s new haircare for a while now, and 25 per cent off sitewide is the perfect excuse. This duo features a pre-wash mask and a nourishing leave-in treatment post-shower, which is meant to help repair and add shine. But honestly, the sleek packaging is enough to convince to add to cart (and my bathroom shelf).– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style
The Ordinary Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid serums
$19.55
I’m not one to spend big on skincare. So I was stoked to find that The Ordinary’s already affordable skincare is even cheaper. I’m stocking up on staples like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.– Holly Bodeker Smith, newsletter editor
AB LAB tubing mascara
$14
As someone who wears mascara religiously, I’ve come to learn that more expensive doesn’t always mean best. Adore Beauty’s own brand, Ab Lab, does a really great tubing mascara that lengthens without clumping and lasts all day. Watch me add a year’s worth to my cart while it’s 50 per cent off. – Meg Nolan, social media performance executive
Lancome Monsieur Big mascara
$46.90
This mascara flies under the radar. I used to swear by it, repurchasing it time and again, and every time I wore it, someone would ask if I was in falsies. The secret? Just Lancome. Not sure why I ever stopped, but seeing it on sale reminded me just how good it is. I’m ready to bring it back to my make-up bag. Big, fluffy lashes incoming.– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style
MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 foundation
$50.40
I keep trying other foundations, but I always end up coming back to my old faithful. It’s perfect for layering, depending on whether you want light coverage or something fuller. Over the past few years, the colour range has also increased and I’ve finally managed to find a shade light enough for my very pale skin. – Meg Nolan, social media performance executive
