Hours left to get £900 worth of beauty for £200 at Sephora
Time is running out for beauty fans to bag hundreds of pounds worth of free products in the Sephora Black Friday sale. The retailer has launched a huge sale on hundreds of products, with many being 50 per cent off.
But for today only, anyone who spends over £200 can essentially ‘double their money’ and get a free beauty bag worth £200. But the most money-savvy among us this Black Friday could get over £900 worth of products for £200 - but they’ll have to be quick because it ends at midnight.
I’m a self-confessed bargain hunter, and frequently use a method called ‘deal stacking’ to get the most bang for my beauty buck. I shopped the Sephora Black Friday sale and added products with a high value, that I would actually use or gift, to my basket in order to make the most of discounts and free gifts to maximise my savings. I added:
CLINIQUE Ready, Set, Refresh Best of Beauty Gift Set £62.50 was £125
Glam & Style Dryer & Straightener Gift Set £29.99 was £59.99
TARTE Tartelette Toasted Eyeshadow Palette Multi £21 was £42
TAN-LUXE The Body Self-Tan Drops Light/Medium £21.90 was £44
Skin Research Intelligent Youth Peptide Serum 60ml £21.90 was £119
While the total spend racked up to £203.13, the value of the products in my basket totalled £721.44. The Sephora free £200 gift bag was then added, taking the value to £921.44. The exclusive beauty bag, which is available until midnight, contains six mystery products that are sure to make fabulous gifts to give away at Christmas, or to keep for yourself.
To buy a smart kettle or a smart mug this Black Friday?
I drink a lot of tea. Apparently the average Brit drinks 2-3 cups per day, and if there’s anything I’m above average at, it’s getting mugs of Yorkshire Tea down me. I’ve had three cups by 9am most mornings - more to fuel my Black Friday deals content - and as such, I’ve become the unofficial tea-related-things-tester of the team.
Some of the gadgets I’ve been putting through their paces in recent weeks include the ‘world’s first Alexa kettle’ by Swan and an Ember Smart mug. One device connects to your Amazon device and means you don’t have to get up to put the kettle on, while the other connects to your phone and keeps your drink at the perfect temperature all day.
While both have been reduced this Black Friday, they aren’t the cheapest of purchases, coming in at £59 and from £88 respectively- so what if you can only have one? Which should you pick?
My top tea-tech Black Friday pick has to be the world’s first Alexa kettle, by Swan. It’s apparently the ‘most talked about kettle of 2023’and Black Friday offers the ultimate opportunity to get one at a much more affordable price, now less than £69 instead of £99.99.
Within a few short and simple steps, you can connect it to your Amazon deviceand control it with your voice through your Alexa. Alternatively, the smart kettle can even be controlled via an app remotely to boil water to a desired temperature.

Time to hunker down for the night as this bill-reducing Lakeland throw now 40% off
With temperatures set to plunge this week as another cold snap hits, I may have found myself tempted to crank the heating up. However, Martin Lewis ' Money Saving Expert team have been prompting us to 'heat humans, not the home' this winter in order to keep costs as low as possible.
One suggestion they’ve recommended is using an electric blanket, as many heated throws cost just pennies to run and will still keep you toasty warm. I’ve been trying out the Lakeland Brown Faux Fur Heated Throwand can confirm that I’ve not once found myself reaching for the thermostat. And the best part? It’s now £40 off for Black Friday.
Originally £99.99, the Lakeland Heated Throw is now £59.99and has helped warm me up while keeping heating bills down. And for what it could save you on your energy bills, it will surely pay for itself in no time at all. It's so cosy, even the dog can't get enough of it!
Which Dyson beauty tool should you buy this Black Friday?
Dyson’s coveted beauty tools are undoubtedly one of the most-wished-for things on any hair care lover’s Christmas list. But with such a high price tag - even during Black Friday - the trio of tools would set you back nearly £1,000 if you wanted to get the Airwrap, Supersonic and cordless Corralethis weekend.
I’ve been using this holy trinity of electronic styling throughout 2023, and a question I get asked a lot is ‘if you could only have one, which would you choose?’. And for me, the answer is simple.
The beauty chore I hated the most - after shaving my legs - is drying my hair, but since getting the Dyson Supersonic,all of that changed. This hairdryer really is a gamechanger, and went from giving myself a bad back blast drying my hair with a battered old hairdryer, to it taking what felt like seconds to go from wet to dry.
It’s now £299.99 at most retailers,though if that’s still a little steep Dyson has launchedt he Dyson Supersonic Origin hairdryer,for £279.99.
While I do love the Airwrap, I do find that my curls don’t hold as well as I’d like, though this is more down to the fact I need to do some more research on the best products to use alongside it, rather than the device itself. But it does mean that I don’t find myself reaching for it as often as I would like, that said, it is still my favourite styler of its kind.
The Dyson Corraleis the product of the three that I’ve used the least, in part, because it’s the latest addition to my arsenal of beauty tools, but also because my hair is naturally quite straight anyway, and I only really straighten my hair if I’m going ‘out out’.
Stunning whisky gift set reduced to £34.99

This lash-lengthening serum is cheaper to buy in a set than on its own!
How about a beauty deal that's almost too good to miss? The Grande Cosmetics Five Star Favourites Setis currently on sale on LookFantastic for £47.57, having been reduced from £71 - but it’s actually worth £110 if you purchased the products individually, meaning shoppers can save £62.43 on the set.
The kit includes a full 2ml size tube of lash growth serumwhich is worth £62 alone on the Grande website, rendering the rest of the contents essentially free. Among the other goodies are a mini Grande Brow brow enhancing serum, mini lash-lengthening mascara, mini GrandeLIPS clear gloss and a travel size GrandeBUFF lip scrub.
What’s more is that it’s the best price we’ve seen it for Black Friday, having been reduced further since last week where it was retailing for £56.80, reports OK!. This is way cheaper than buying it direct from Grande Cosmetics, who are still selling it for £71.
Other lash serums that have been reduced for Black Friday include Uklash Eyelash Serum, now £26.60instead of £38, while RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serumis usually £39.99 and is down to £26.
But if it’s the money-saving set you want to try from Grande Cosmetics, it’s currently the cheapest price at LookFantastic here.
New Look slash price of 'slimming' dress that's great for 'all shapes and sizes'

The satin number is currently on sale for £25.49 down from £33.99, and it’s been described as ‘perfect for Christmas’ - thanks to its festive dark-green hue and classic spot print.
Made to suit women of all shapes and sizes, the mini dress boasts a flattering V-neckline, frill detailing on the shoulder and long cuffed sleeves which are great for keeping you warm when the temperature drops.
Best mattress deal
We've been reviewing some mattresses and one of our top picks is discounted for Black Friday. Our Mirror Choice Editor Stacey Dutton says: "I've been using Simba's luxury mattress for just six weeks and the lower back pain I'd been experiencing for the past three years has miraculously disappeared.
"When my back pain is at its worse, it can be debilitating, thankfully that pain doesn't last long before it eases, but the worst part is, I used to get a constant ache and a niggle that prevented me from being fully active, but since using the Simba Hybrid® Luxe Mattress I haven't experienced either.
"The luxury mattress is usually priced from £1,589 for the Single mattress up to £2,759 for the Super King option, but with Simba's money-saving Black Friday deal shoppers can get hold of the 'miracle' mattress from £873.95 up to £1,517.45 instead, saving a massive 45% while the offer lasts."
My Ember Smart Mug is £40 off on Amazon
Is there anything more disappointing than the realisation you’ve forgotten to drink your cup of tea, only to take a sip and discover it’s gone cold? I actually think it’s more heartbreaking than The Notebook, or when you think there’s one last crisp in the packet and there isn’t.
I recently introduced an Ember smart muginto my life, and while at first I was sceptical about a temperature-regulating cup, I’ve been left more impressed than I thought I would be at this nifty bit of technology. And not once have I fallen victim to a cold cuppa, with my brew staying warm for hours after the kettle has boiled.
On Amazon, my glamorous rose gold mug has been reduced to £119.95, saving shoppers £30, however you can get the white one for £88.12, down from £129.95, if you were looking to get one a little cheaper. Curryshad been stocking the metallic version for £89.99, saving nearly £60 on the RRP, but the deal proved too tempting for tech fans and it’s since sold out, with Amazon being the next cheapest place to buy.
Picked your advent calendar yet?
The Mirror Shopping team love an advent calendar (frankly who doesn't?!) and we've spent months rounding up some of the best value options ahead of December 1. Speaking as someone who loves a splash of colour on my fingers and toenails though my favourite type of beauty advent calendar are nail varnish ones and my favourites this year are, depending on whether you're a traditional or gel nail fan, OPI's 24-day collection or MyLee's 12-day Winter Carnival gel advent calendar.
I've tried both this year - I love how long-lasting my manicure is when using my MyLee machine but have regular breaks from gels to help keep my nails healthy - and I'd recommend them both as great buys, especially with the offers available.
LookFantastic was the first to cut the price of the OPI set in their huge Black Friday sale, but this morning OPI have taken a whopping 35% off the price on their website, taking it to £45.44 while shoppers can also get an additional freebie of a four-piece minikit when they buy the calendar or anything else on the site over £40. To claim the free gift simply use the code MINIKIT at checkout.
I've had the OPI advent calendar the last few years and I absolutely love it. It includes 25 mini bottles of both classic and limited edition colours as well as quick dry top coat, base coat and even a mini Nail Envy. This year there's loads of shimmering and sparkling hues perfect for Christmas season, as well as some more subtle and classic shades for general day wear that will last you well into 2024.
You can get £15 off the MyLee calendar, taking it down to £34.99 and if you're a fan of nail embellishments and stickers this is the set for you although you'll need to have a gel curing machine already to make the most of the set. Not to worry if you haven't though, there are machines down to as little as £7.99 in Amazon Black Friday deals, while MyLee's starter set is 25% off taking it to £67.49. If you'd not tried a home gel manicure before it's definitely a great way to start. I've previously reviewed a slightly smaller starter kit by the brand here.
Time to zhuzh up your home for winter?
Homewares brand Homescapes has unveiled a huge sale with up to 60% off across everything from stylish sofas to pretty bedlinen and thermal curtains to not only give a room a pop of colour but also make sure to keep the chill out and the heat firmly in as winter nights get colder.
If you're thinking about hosting over Christmas but haven't got round to getting a sofa bed yet there are some great click clack style options starting from £229 in a range of cheery colours.
The Bower three seater sofa bed transforms quickly and easily into the perfect spare bed for one, with shoppers praising it as being 'fantastic value for money' and that was before it was reduced to £199.99.
One happy shopper said: "Excellent value for money. The sofa is comfortable, has a very soft velvet feeling and the colour is beautiful."
Deal request!
Lorraine has been in touch asking for some advice on a deal. She says: "It’s Black Friday and I’m keen to replace my squiggly 31 inch TV for a smart model (32-34 inches). Your top tips would be most appreciated."
I have been straight to our tech team to see what we can do.
Chris Harper, resident tech expert says this Currys deal is a good one if you are looking for a 32-inch TV. He says it's a good quality screen and the price of £149 is a good one. If you want 4K it might be more expensive but I don't think you will get a decent 4K deal in 32 inchs
Medik8's 'magic in a tube' eye cream has 30% off - act fast!
If you're thinking about adding an eye cream to your skincare routine, it should be Medik8's ‘magic in a tube’ eye cream - especially with the product being on sale.
The celeb-loved skincare brand has launched its Black Friday sale which sees 30% off bestsellers - including the famous eye cream which gives 'shocking instant results,' according to hundreds of beauty fans.
Medik8's popular 8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Cream has been dropped to £29.40 down from £42 - so it’s the perfect time to try out the item for yourself and see what all the fuss is about.

Brilliant deal on Apple Airtags
If you're an Apple fan or have an iPhone, then we've found a brilliant deal on Apple AirTags which usually retail for around £119.99.
Ebay is holding a promotion where you can save 20 per cent on selected sellers with the code BUYBETTER20 meaning you could save a great amount on leading tech brands.
But the deal we've found means you could get four AirTags for just £88 - the cheapest price right now on the handy devices by using the BUYBETTER20 code.
Looking for some new trainers?
Trainers, especially those from the big brands, don't come cheap these days. But today could be a great chance to save a few pounds.
Nike has often had big Black Friday sales and this year doesn't look to be any different with the American sportswear giant offering up to 50% off selected lines and products.
Starting with the Air Jordan 1 Mid which are £90.97 down from £129.95, come in six colours and stick closely to that late 1980s/1990s silhouette but as often with Jordans it all depends on what style you want. So. if you fancy something smaller then you could go for these Jordan 1 Low SE, which come in a very eye-catching gold now at £80.47 down from £114.95.
These Nike Dunk Low in obsidian and white are now £83.97 down form their original price of £119.95.
Time for some toys...?
We're well into Black Friday now and it feels like a good time to turn our attention to our younger readers with some of the best deals for children and toddlers.
Studio has reduced this price of this gorgeous train play table to just £20 for Black Friday and, while I'm not sure I'd have paid £100 for it full price, I'm actually a bit sad my train-loving son is a bit too grown up for this now as it's the kind of classic, wooden toy that he'd have got hours of fun from a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile, Toniebox deals are trending on both Tonies own website and Amazon and it's easy to see why. If you're not familiar with them, Tonieboxes are child-friendly, squishy speakers which acts as a musical storybox. The ergonomically designed and colourful cubes have a space in the top to slot a special character and then the audio toy can play stories, songs or music related to the figure on the top, which is known as a Tonie. We've done a full round-up of some of the best Black Friday Toniebox deals here but it's worth checking the sites - with characters ranging from Paddington and the Gruffalo through to Frozen and Marvel superheroes there's something for every (little) one.
Elsewhere, The Entertainer has unveiled a Black Friday toy sale with up to 70% off and right now shoppers can get an extra 10% off all reduced prices using the code EXTRA10 at checkout. There's a huge amount reduced here and I've bookmarked this site for later as with Squishmallows, loom band kits, scooters and Barbie all discounted I've got plenty of Christmas shopping of my own to cross off the list.
PrettyLittleThing's Black Friday sale is finally back!
Fashion fans, get excited. Online clothing retailer PrettyLittleThing has finally launched its Black Friday sale - giving shoppers 40% off items.
From winter-ready knitwear to must-have ankle boots, there's no better time to stock up on your favourite pieces at prettylittlething.com, but the best items are selling fast. To get 40% off, all you have to do is enter code PINK40 when you reach the checkout.

How to save the most money at Boots this Black Friday
For me, Boots is one of the best places to shop the major money-saving event, because it's a one-stop health and beauty emporium where you can get exclusives, huge savings and of course, the benefit of Advantage Card points, which makes their offers all the more tempting if there's a product the same price elsewhere.
When it comes to shopping the Boots Black Friday sale, I'll admit, I do have a bit of an advantage. Because I used to work for the retailer, I know exactly where to look for the best deals in order to be the first to snap them up. But I won't gatekeep my secrets - here's a quick rundown of some of the best things to look for:
Beauty boxes are, without doubt, one of the best beauty investments you can make because they are usually worth so much more than the price you pay. Boots has really led the charge with their seasonal and themed money-saving offerings this year, and we have it on good authority that they’ll be continuing in 2024, too. Meanwhile, Star Gifts often have a better-than-half-price saving, which offers another opportunity to save even more money.
The retailer is also offering deals on a number of popular brands, including YSL, No7, Dyson, Shark and more. Want the details? Here's my guide to shopping the Boots Black Friday sale.
'Dream' winter dress that's 'perfect for every occasion' has more than 50% off
Eco-conscious clothing brand Nobody's Child is offering 20% off everything on its site - including the 'perfect' winter dress. Simply add code BF20 to your basket to get the discount.
Our fashion and beauty writer Eve Rowlands snapped at the chance to get the Pink Zendaya Midi Dress, which is already on sale at £45, for even less. She said:
"After admiring it in my hands, I put it on over my head. It was perfect and fit me in all the right places. The top half was fitted and clung to me without causing me to lose my breath, nor so much that I was spilling out of it. It held everything in place."

'This £11 Black Friday buy from Amazon has totally changed the way I pack'
When packing to go on your holidays, what you plan to take versus what actually comes with you doesn't always marry up.
A military-style operation where no single passenger takes more than they need is generally the drill in many homes, until thoughts of "just in case" spring to mind and any available space in the suitcase is unceremoniously stuffed with random items. If you feel like you are physically incapable of learning to travel light, this set of nine packing cubes from the Amazon Black Friday event could change the way you pack forever.
Available at a great value price of £10.98 in the Amazon Black Friday event, the Jsdoin 9-Piece Packing Cube Set is worth its weight in gold when it comes to keeping your suitcases organised on the go.
'My favourite portable power station is at its cheapest ever price...'
This might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to Black Friday, but if you're a fan of camping, or regularly find yourself in need of a power supply while you're out and about, it's worth a look.
Gareth Butterfield has gone through and picked out the best deals on portable power stations. He said:
EcoFlow's River 2 is my favourite compact unit, and it's a great pint-sized powerhouse, with up to 600w of power from its 256Wh LiFeP04 battery.
It only weighs 3.5kg, so it could plausibly fit in a rucksack, although the handle that sticks out of the back makes it a bit of an awkward shape.
But while it's a good-value proposition at its usual price of £269.99, its Black Friday price of £179 is a brilliant deal. EcoFlow tells me that's the cheapest it's ever been, so grab one while you can.

Half price Dyson Airwrap restock... this is not a drill!
One of the best early Black Friday deals flagged by our fashion and beauty team saw a huge discount taking the Dyson Airwrap down to £239.99 from its usual price of £479.99.
With the Dyson Airwrap dubbed this year’s must-have product for the sixth year in a row, customers could save hundreds of pounds by opting for a refurbished model. These renewed devices are usually £399.99, saving £80 off a new styler year round, but this Black FridayeBay is offering shoppers a further 40 per cent off top refurbished Dyson products with the code DYSONBF40.
Live from today until December 1, assuming stocks last this go around, savvy shoppers can save 50 per cent off the full price of the Airwrap, coming in at £239.99 with the code.
The code is also valid on other hair styling products from the premium brand, taking the price of the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer to £167.99 (down by 49%) and offering a saving of £256 on the Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener down to just £143.99.
Currys PS5 Slim preorder deal is the lowest price yet - but only if you're quick
Gamers assemble, while this isn't technically a Black Friday deal, Currys has just announced a cracking PS5 Slim pre-order deal which drops the price of Sony's new console down to just £459. Shoppers need to use the Slim20 at checkout to take £20 off the £479 price we've seen elsewhere.
PS5 Slim pre-orders only went live on Thursday, with the console being available for pre-order now in the UK, US and worldwide and expected to launch on Wednesday, November 29, but this Currys discount is the best pre-order deal we've seen for those in the UK so far.
The firm have confirmed though it's only available for the first 4,900 orders (no we're not sure why they didn't just round up either) so if you want to make the saving you'll need to act fast.
Snap up £88 worth of Benefit beauty products for £34.50
Beauty fans, rejoice! That's because Boots is selling a Benefit gift set with £88 worth of items for just £34.50.
The Benefit Bestseller Showcase Star Gift is a great way to stock up on beauty must-haves, without breaking the bank, which would each make wonderful Christmas stocking fillers for loved ones.
It includes:
Another amazing TV deal
We've already talked Amazon Fire TV and Samsung TV deals but tech expert Chris Harper has spotted an LG discount that could be the best mid-size TV deal on the market today.
He says: "The deal is courtesy of John Lewis which is selling the LG 2023 43 inch 4K LED TV for just £229 - an extremely cheap price considering the TV was released in 2023.
It is probably the best price we've seen for one of the newest LG models on the market and we doubt you'll find such a good on a TV for Black Friday."
