Plus, we've got a few predictions on what will drop once Black Friday comes around. Last year saw brands like Elemis, REN, Elizabeth Arden, Murad, Nuxe, Kate Somerville, Estee Lauder, Medik8 and more grace their fans with some epic deals, and we doubt 2024 will be much different. There were also savings on beauty tools from straighteners and hairdryers to hair removal tools and face toning devices.
Perfume lovers can bag themselves a real bargain with a selection of brands offering 50% on their fragrances from Hugo Boss to Marc Jacobs. For example, Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh Eau de Parfum for Women usually costs £92 for a 75ml bottle, but currently, LookFantastic has reduced its cost to just £46 here. For the man in your life, the HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent Absolute For Him Eau de Parfum, 100ml, is priced at £49.50 down from £99 - which is a great way to bag yourself a Christmas pressie for him on a budget.
