The Scouted Guide for Best Beauty and Grooming Gifts to Score During Black Friday Sales—Starting Now

If you haven’t read my previous raves about Swedish beauty-tech brand Foreo, take note of this all-star lineup. I will never be without the skin-firming and smoothing Foreo Bear, (now $229, regularly $339) but the face-mask boosting UFO 2 is also a must-have for the skin-obsessed. The UFO 2 (now $149, marked down from $299) uses infrared technology to make relaxing sheet masks penetrate better, so your skin is red-carpet-ready in minutes. It depuffs, firms, and minimizes pores, for a seriously noticeable glow-up. I feel addicted to how the UFO makes my skin supple and hydrated in minutes, even when it's been a day. I’ve spent $150 on one spa facial, so these devices save money in the long run.

Beauty retailer, Skinstore, is offering 25% off many luxe products and gift sets for Black Friday. Some of these brands don’t get discounted often like Chantecaille and Eve Lom, so this sale is especially tempting. Also with your purchase, you’ll receive a trove of nice sized samples and gifts from your favorite brands.

Beauty retailer, Ulta, is carrying a limited-edition, too-adorable Peanuts X Wet n Wild collaboration that is bound to make anyone smile. Wet n Wild, the mainstay of PETA-approved drugstore cosmetics, and our beloved Snoopy team up for some of the cutest packaging this season. Products like Fa-La-La Lipstick in Santa Snoopy (a cheery red for the holidays) are getting rave reviews. Included in the line are a Peanuts Makeup Bag and the PR Kit with lip, eye, face, and nail products, and more.

Gwyneth’s beauty brand, Goop, is offering 30% off bundles like the Healthy Hair Starter Kit and Spa Day Kit. The Himalayan Salt Scalp Scrub Shampoo (included in the Healthy Hair Kit) is the product you never knew you needed until you tried it; the refreshing clean scalp and super root boost it gives to hair is a game changer. Goop is also known for the Instant Glow Exfoliator, which instantly revitalizes facial skin, giving great glow.

Clean beauty favorite Kosas has launched its early Black Friday sale, with increasing discounts based on how much you spend. Get up to 25% off, and free shipping on orders over $40. While known for their pigmented, comfortable-to-wear lipsticks, glosses, and blushes, I’ve been looking forward to trying the Plump + Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-On Serum to keep skin hydrated through winter. They even offer a sample set that gives a site credit for the same amount, so trying everything ends up being free!

20% off sitewide, ends 11/28. The cruelty-free, posh brand is known for its Ambient Lighting products that give skin a candlelit glow, and vegan cosmetic options. Find rich hues and pigments in the brands lipsticks, blushes and eyeshadows. The limited-edition wildlife print cases are some of the prettiest available, and so very giftable.

Popular with celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Salma Hayek, Sisley is a high-end French skincare and cosmetics brand with a cult following. Sisley is offering up to 45% off the best-selling Black Rose line sets including moisturizer, oil, or the skin smoothing, hydrating Black Rose mask. Spend over $350 to get a luxe gift with your purchase.

Merit Beauty only has one sale a year, and it’s happening right now 11/23-28, 20% off sitewide. This minimalist brand’s hero products are the complexion-perfecting Minimalist foundation stick and highlighting balm, but the tinted lip oils and Instant Glow Serum are other best-sellers. Cruelty-free, vegan, and made without common skin irritants, Merit has gained a loyal following for being designed to get ready in just five minutes.

We’ve already raved about this holy-grail foot cream for its ability to soften, smooth, and soothe better than any other we’ve tried, and it smells super lovely to boot. Made with rich hydrating ingredients like Aloe and Shea, it’s remarkable how quickly this lotion soaks into skin.

The famous, glam Kate Moss-approved beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury is offering a GWP of full-size lipstick with a $125 purchase, and an additional Luxury Eye Palette for purchases over $175, and up to 40% off select best-selling beauty kits. If this year is anything like last year's sale, there may be additional savings in store, closer to the holiday. We’ll keep you updated!

Clean beauty brand, Lawless, makes amazing brow products and the lip masks have replaced all our other lip moisturizers. These lip-plumping masks (without the sting) do give good plump, but we covet them for the super hydration and smoothing effect they give. Perfect for one gift or three stocking stuffers, the trio of lip masks is a great deal.
