How to Get the Best Out of Black Friday Deals
Black Friday is the perfect time to stock up on everything you love — from stylish wash bags and makeup organisers to luxury beauty gifts and self-care treats. But with so many discounts available, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos and miss out on the best offers. Here’s how to plan ahead, shop smart and make the most of every Black Friday deal this year.
1. Make a Wishlist Before the Sales Begin
Start by writing down the products you actually want or need. Whether it’s a new hanging wash bag for your upcoming travels or a complete bathroom refresh, having a clear list helps you stay focused and avoid impulse buys. Many retailers — including The Beauty Store — release early previews of their Black Friday offers, so you can plan which discounts to prioritise.
2. Set a Budget and Stick to It
It’s easy to overspend when everything seems like a bargain. Before the sales start, decide how much you’re comfortable spending overall and per category (for example, £30 for beauty gifts, £50 for travel accessories). This keeps you in control and ensures your Black Friday haul feels rewarding, not regrettable.
3. Shop Trusted Retailers for Genuine Savings
Black Friday can attract too-good-to-be-true offers — especially online. Always shop with reputable retailers that you know and trust. For beauty and fragrance, The Beauty Store offers authentic products at outlet prices, with exclusive bundles and tester deals you won’t find elsewhere. For travel and beauty organisation, Victoria Green’s own website is the best place for exclusive discounts and sustainable designs that last beyond the sales season.
4. Look Out for Bundles and GWP Offers
One of the smartest ways to stretch your budget is by choosing value bundles or “gift with purchase” promotions. Many beauty retailers run these during Black Friday, combining full-size favourites with mini extras or stylish pouches — ideal for gifting or keeping for yourself.
5. Don’t Forget Cyber Monday
Black Friday might be the big event, but Cyber Monday often brings an extra wave of discounts — especially on beauty, fashion and accessories. Keep an eye on your favourite retailers’ newsletters so you’re first to know when new deals go live.
Final Tip: Plan, Compare and Enjoy the Savings
The best Black Friday experience comes from being prepared, patient and strategic. Create your wishlist early, check trusted sites like The Beauty Store and Victoria Green, and take advantage of the incredible savings while they last.
Because the best deal isn’t just about the price — it’s about finding quality pieces you’ll love long after the Black Friday buzz has passed.
