Holiday sales have already started, and they seem to keep improving each year! Below, I curated some of the best beauty sales around as well as information on some of their best-selling products.
Charlotte Tilbury has a lot of holiday offerings! Between kits and minis, it is honestly the best time to try something new or to stock up on. From November 23rd to the 27th, you can get 20% off all orders with the code Magic20, 25% OFF with a minimum of $110 with the code MAGIC25, and 30% OFF with a minimum purchase of $160 with the code MAGIC30. There is also Buy One Get One Free on select pre-curated duos.
One item Charlotte Tilbury is known for is Charlotte’ Magic Cream, a rich but weightless facial moisturizer. It’s being used by celebrities all over the red carpet and on runways. Tilbury has a variety of skincare sets that contain the magic cream but if you are looking to get a full size, check out Charlotte Tilbury’s award-winning Beauty Icons. What makes this set stand out for me is that you not only get a full size of the Magic Cream, a moisturizer, which is worth $100 by itself, but you get 3 other full-size products: Matt Revolution Lipstick in the shade Pillow Talk, an f Mascara in Super Black and Airbrushflawless Setting Spray that influencer Alix Earle has recently done a video with makeup hacks where she puts setting spray on her face before she applies her makeup! The kit also comes with a zip accordion bag in burgundy that allows you to easily separate items for easy access.
The Rock Star bag is a perfect clutch for the holidays. It is black velvet embellished with a star design that shines beautifully like silver in the light. I love this for the holidays because black goes with everything. The star design shines in a silver/clear mix that is beautiful and also can go with anything. It is a fairly large clutch zippered on the inside that I found I could fit a lot in.
Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs has 20% off sitewide, from November 22nd-27th and no code is needed. The sale does exclude the Discovery Sets, Holiday Collection Value Set, and Channel Kindness Book, but it’s still an amazing deal. It’s a great chance to pick up her amazing eyeshadow palettes. I’ve been using the Eye Library Eyeshadow Palette in The Super Neutrals Vol. 002 and I am obsessed with this formula. It has 6 shades, three matt, 2 chrome, and a bio glitter. The only way to describe the shadow is like butter. They are very pigmented but buildable so you can decide how much bold or subdued you want the look. Something that stood out to me is the two brown mats that are included as it allowed me to get some great depth on a nude eye look as I added the darker brown (Smokey Brown Matt) in the crease. They also have a limited edition lip duo in Sepia Shine, a light brown peach, and Burgundy Shine a deep burgundy.
KVD has an amazing sale from November 21-26th 30-50% sitewide minus markdowns and bundles. At $75 and over you get 6 gifts with purchases including a bag three minis a mirror and a scarf!
KVD’s Long Sleeve Defined Tubing Mascara is my new favorite mascara. Previously, even waterproof mascara would smudge and it would give me a raccoon look. However, that did not happen with this mascara. I even broke the cardinal makeup rule and fell asleep in my mascara, and it didn’t smudge at all. There was some light flaking which was easily brushed off and wasn’t very noticeable. With the sale, the full-sized mascara is $12. Needless to say, I am stocking up!
They also have KVD Dazzel Gel Hyper-Metallic Eyeshadow, previously mentioned in the Halloween costume article. besides using it as a shadow, I love to use it for eyeliner. It is dark but is infused with color. I feel like the best way to explain it is if you put black eyeliner on and then a color on top of it.
If you have been wanting anything from CHI, it is definitely the time to do it! As they have a 20% sitewide sale. For those of you who don’t know, CHI is well-known for flat irons and their Biosilk products. But they also have a line of shampoo and conditioners that are worth a look called CHICare. I love these shampoos and conditioners and they have been a staple of my hair routine for a while. I use a lot of hair products to protect it and keep it hydrated but those products can build up. My hairdresser suggested I use a cleansing shampoo at least once a month and CHI’s CleanCare Clarifying shampoo is the only clarifying shampoo I use as it leaves my hair feeling clean without stripping my hair of its moisturizer. The other items I use from the CHICare line are the HydrationCare Shampoo and Conditioner. They also have several other shampoos and conditioners. I always found it to give great hydration and smell and it’s just something I’ve constantly been going back to the past year or so.
On Black Friday, hair care line LolaVie has 20% off on everything on their website without needing a code! This brand has some amazing leave-ins. I always use their Leave-In in even if I air dry my hair as it keeps it hydrated and frizz-free without weighing it down. This is actually a constant I found in the items I’ve tried. Their shampoo and conditioner are extremely softening and it’s noticeable before you even get out of the shower. They do have a Restore And Protect Travel Kit that will be $32. The items are fairly well-sized and are easy to keep on a shower caddy or to keep in your bag to shower at the gym.
Baublebar has an amazing black Friday deal on Jewelry Cases in addition to 30% off sitewide Now, if you are a Disney fan, you can’t pass this up. They have a box in the shape of Mickey Mouse (with metallic shades) for only $18 from the original $48! As a Disney fan, I was so excited when I saw this! The night stood out to me the most as has ample space for earrings rings and necklaces but is small enough to take with you in your purse while traveling- which is a lot better than what I used to do which is putting jewelry in ziplock bags. If you find you need something a bit bigger, they have a variety of jewelry boxes, both Disney and non-Disney, such as their Rectangular Jewelry Storage Case. This case has a removable earring holder as well as a removable ring holder with a snap closure.
If you’re looking for a classic earring, check out Lucy earring set which contains two paves and one gold for a total of 3 earring sets of varying sizes. These huggies are absolutely beautiful and look like you paid a lot more than the $51.40 it cost on sale. The pave stones reflect the light beautifully and are one of my favorite styles from them. If you love snowflakes, Baublebar has a beautiful silver snowflake set called Blanche Earrings What I love about these is that you can wear them all winter, not just around the holidays!
This skincare company is Co-founded by powerhouse actress Scarlett Johansson starting on Thanksgiving until November 26th, single items are on sale for 20% off, including apparel such as headbands and socks. Enjoy a 25% discount on single items from November 27th to November 28th. While the sale excludes bundles and gift sets, there is still a lot to choose from. I love their Ultra-Light Moisture Boosting Oil. It’s very moisturizing without being heavy. Johansson had gone on Instagram to share her tips on using the oil l saying she applied it to her lips and hair. I tried both, and it got rid of the flyaways on my hair without a greasy residue. I found it gave a nice shine to my lips and helped with moisture. They also have refill packets available for sale that are lightweight and easy to travel.
From November 24th through Sunday November 26, Nomad Cosmetics has a 50% Verona Love and Death Palette inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Then from November 27 to November 28th, they have 25% off sitewide. The Verona Love and Death Palette is unique as it’s split up into two sides, with each side having its own mirror. What I really love about Verona Love and Death is that it is very diverse. On one side you have a lot of bright pinks, corals, and reds, while on the other side, you have darker shades with grays, blues, dark violet, and a maroon shade as well as black. The palette has 12 velvet mattes, 4 intense shimmers, and 2 shimmer toppers. Nomad Cosmetics is known for its silky and easy-to-blend shades, which, is no different here. All the shades are heavily pigmented, ensuring you get a solid look without primer, but they are easy to blend out. In fact, I’ve always found Nomad Cosmetics to be very pigmented and solid without the use of an eyeshadow primer. What I love about the two sides and two color schemes also allow for the inclusion of darker shades to increase dimensions- especially when using darker gray and even black in the creases.
Kylie has the best sale of the year, in my opinion; From now until November 25th, Kylie has 40% off sitewide and a free gift with any order $70+. The free gifts are a jade roller through November 23rd. From November 23rd through November 25th, you get a velvet pouch with samples. While certain items are excluded from the sale, there are still a lot of options to choose from. I recommend you check out the Kyliner Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner Pen. The precision tip of that pen is absolutely amazing. You can create a precision line and easily put a thin line in to get to your lower lashes without any smudging. If you want a bit of a glow on your skin for the holidays, check out the Body Glow in All Gold Everything. It gives a nice gold shimmer that’s noticeable but not over the top.

On November 28th, if you donate $10 to the Rare Impact Fund get $20 off $50+ order. I’ve found their brushes to be extremely soft and spread whatever product is used evenly. Their All of the Above Weightless Eyeshadow Sticks are very smooth and easy to blend. If you are looking for a highlighter, you should check out their Positive Light lines. There is a liquid version of Positive Light Liquid Luminizer as well and they have a powder, Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter. Regardless if you choose the liquid or the powder, they share the same names and shades making it easy to switch between the two.

milk_shake® Incredible Milk Intense leave in Spray. I am obsessed with how this smells. The smell is a mix of mango and papaya(Seriously! I hope they branch into perfume.) This spray mask helps hair in 12 different ways, among those are UV protection, detangling, controlling frizz, and preventing split ends. This one spray did the work of two other leave-ins I have, as it gave my dry hair more than sufficient hydration, detangling, and shine.
