Why you can trust us

As The Independent’s beauty writer, it’s my job to know all things make-up, skincare, haircare and body care like the back of my hand. I’ve tried and tested all of the popular products and track prices on big-name brands all year round, so I’m uniquely qualified when it comes to Black Friday deal recommendations.

Best deals in Boots Black Friday sale

Dyson’s airwrap is a cult hair tool that needs very little introduction – it’s popular for good reason. Take it from beauty editor Lucy Partington, for example, who reviewed it when it first launched in April 2022. In the review, she noted that it’s “definitely better than the original”, praising the “improved attachments” for feeling “well thought out”. While “the curling barrels are still a little bit faffy to use (albeit less so than having to switch them), being able to change the direction of airflow almost instantly is much appreciated, and it does make using it easier”. Not only is the £80 saving very good, but I’m also obsessed with the gold and black colourway.

For more great savings on the airwrap, senior writer Daisy has rounded up the best deals, including a refurbished version for just £250.

When the evenings are dark and the temperatures low, Black Friday Dyson deals are one of the few things to motivate me, and this one has certainly caught my eye. Right now, there’s an impressive £50 off the brand’s coveted airstrait straightener. In her review of the hair tool, eCommerce editor Eva Waite-Taylor said it “somehow made [her] thick, weighty locks feel light and healthy”. She added that the finish also appeared “much more natural” than a professional blow-dry.

Awarded the title of best corded model in our guide to IPL machines, Braun’s silk-expert pro 5 was described by our tester as “easy to use”. They added that it worked “across the body very quickly” and was one of the more efficient IPL machines they tested. With more than a whopping £320 off, you’ll be stepping into the Christmas with smooth legs and a shave-free festive season.

With a saving of more than £50, this Liz Earle gift set includes a jumbo size of the cult hot cloth cleanser, plus the instant boost tonic and two other skin-loving products. Reviewing the former, Olivia Perl told readers how “it felt soft on [her] skin and there was no tingling or slickness like you get with some other types of cleansers.” Now, with this mega reduction, it’s the perfect time to snap up a skincare Christmas gift or a self-care treat.

The Laneige lip sleeping mask is my one and only when it comes to lip hydration in the colder months. This, the berry iteration, is the sort of flavoured balm that I crave throughout the day and – though I needn’t, thanks to its long-wearing formula – end up reapplying again and again just to get a whiff of its candy-sweet scent. Yes, it’s really that good, and with 20 per cent off it’s even better.

My hall-of-fame cleanser, the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm, is something I am thrilled to see in the Boots Black Friday sale, specifically in its original lavender and chamomile formula. It’s soothing, smells like a spa and removes even the most long-lasting of make-up products, including red lipstick, waterproof eyeliner and the like. Now the 100g tub has been reduced by 25 per cent, making this the perfect time to add it to your skincare bounty. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Taking the top spot in gadget expert Steve’s best electric toothbrush guide, you’d be hard pushed to find a better deal than this with a whopping 65 per cent off. Steve glowingly described the toothbrush as “delivering that satisfying ‘just been to the dentist’ sensation.” As for its features, he praised both its “handy timer with 30-second pacing buzzes to encourage consistency” and the “respectable two-week battery life,” summing up its performance as “a no-nonsense electric toothbrush that gets the job done without breaking the bank.” Sounds good to me.

Securing a spot in beauty write Lauren’s review of the best perfumes for women, she praised Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian crush cheirosa 62 mist as a “lightweight perfume that can be thrown in a gym bag without risk of smashing.” If you love the bestselling Sol de Janeiro bum bum cream, you’ll love this body mist version which boasts the same scent. Notes of pistachio, salted caramel and almond transport you straight to the beach. Right now, it’s discounted to £18 in the Boots Black Friday sale.

In the best cleansers guide, this was found to provide “vibrancy to the skin that was noticeable after just a few washes”. Recommended for anyone struggling with oily or sensitive skin due to its hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formula, La Roche Posay is a much-loved and well-trusted brand by both users and dermatologists and now you can pick it up for yourself for 25 per cent off.

The Ordinary is much-loved for its affordable skincare solutions and this bundle from Boots allows you to try three of the brand’s bestsellers. Discounted in the retailer’s Black Friday event, the set includes the squalane cleanser which earned a spot in the best cleansers review, thanks to its ability to remove make-up while cleansing. The kit also includes the hyaluronic acid 2% + B5 which beauty writer Helen Wilson-Beevers gave five stars to, as well as the natural moisturizing factors + HA which is a daily moisturiser that works with your skin to support its natural hydration barrier.

A trimmer, shaver and comb all in one (as its name suggests), Braun’s series 7 styler made it into our guide to the best beard trimmers. Praising its 11 functions, our tester said: “The cutting blades glide through even thick hair, without any fuss.” Our reviewer added: “It’ll do the jobs of multiple grooming tools, making it an excellent value proposition.” With 45 per cent off right now, it’s the perfect self-care purchase.

Breast pumps can cost a pretty penny, so if you’re a mum-to-be who’s looking to snap one up, you’ll want to check out this Black Friday deal. Right now, you can get 20 per cent off the Medela freestyle, which is essentially £60 of savings. What’s more, it was dubbed the best wearable breast pump in Rebecca Moore‘s review. After testing, she found using the device “a comfortable experience thanks to the lightweight collection cups – even when pumping from the passenger seat of our car.”

While IndyBest hasn’t reviewed this exact Lancôme foundation, myself and the team are huge fans of its teint idole ultra wear sibling and simply couldn’t pass up the chance to grab this – teint miracle – with 50 per cent off. While teint idole “balances out skin tone,” the brand’s miracle iteration promises the same smoothing effect but with a lighter, more radiant finish. With the dullness of winter all around us, my skin is practically gasping for a bit of glow – hand it over, Boots.

Dior sauvage (in its eau de toilette iteration) landed a spot in the guide to the best men’s fragrances, with Lee Kynaston noting that “it’s fresh at first, then peppery and metallic then, after a few hours on the skin, creamy and delicately musky”. With £15 off, now’s the time to save on this luxe scent.

Smartwatches are as much top gifts for loved ones as they are an investment in yourself and Garmin’s forerunner 255 is one of the best. Discussing the device in his review, Alistair Charlton commented how the 255 “includes a wide range of health and fitness tracking functions, including a race widget to help you prepare for your next event”. Now with more than £100 off, it’s the perfect time to prepare for that 2025 race or get those all-important steps up on the day-to-day.

CeraVe products are always my affordable skincare go-to, but I certainly won’t turn my nose up at an extra 30 per cent off. This – the blemish control face cleanser – features acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide, while maintaining a healthy skin barrier with hydration from hyaluronic acid and nourishment from three different ceramides. Reviewing the cleanser in our guide to the best CeraVe products, our tester commented how it “doesn’t dry out skin or strip it of moisture” and “leaves the skin feeling comfortable.”

A whopping £100 has been shaved off the price of this Philips 5000 series model. When our reviewer tested Philips’ similar S5579 shaver, they praised the “super-useful” digital display, which reminds you of battery levels – a feature also present in this reduced iteration. Our tester added: “Everything is positioned perfectly, meaning it’s easy to switch on.” With the series 5000 now less than £50, this deal is bound to leave you buzzing.

At the top of the electric diffuser food chain, the Neom wellbeing pod is the key to making your space smell sublime and now, thanks to the Boots Black Friday sale, it’s reduced by 15 per cent. While that might not sound like a huge amount, you’ll be pleased to discover that a £45 spend on Neom via Boots rewards customers with a free travel-size candle from the brand. Indeed, the candle alone is worth £20, which means you’re getting almost £35 in savings. Plus, in Helen Wilson-Beevers‘ review of the wellbeing pod’s larger ‘luxe’ sibling, she praised its “unique design that fits in seamlessly with loads of interior styles.” It’s a yes from me.

CeraVe’s hydrating cleanser is one of my absolute faves and, together with the best-selling moisturising lotion and AM SPF, your skin will be set for a full day of comfort and protection. Reviewing the cleanser in a guide to the best CeraVe products, Lucy Partington explained that it didn’t strip or dry skin out. “Instead, it’s formulated with a blend of ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help make sure that the skin retains its much-needed moisture,” she said. Likewise, she found the AM moisturising SPF to be “lightweight, nourishing and undetectable under makeup”. With 50 per cent off, it’s a no-brainer.

I’m a huge fan of the original black opium fragrance, so, to see its extreme iteration reduced by 50 per cent – my interest was piqued. If you’re not familiar with the extreme aroma, it takes all of the notes that you know and love from black opium – black coffee, white flowers and vanilla – and amps them up with extra strength. It quite literally does what it says on the tin, providing you with a longer-lasting, more indulgent finish. It sounds right up my street.

If you’ve not tried Oral-B’s iO series of toothbrushes, take this £300 discount as a sign to get involved. The newer editions – for example, the iO8, 9 and 10 – can help you navigate the different areas of your mouth, intelligently ensuring that you don’t miss a single spot. The iO8 comes with six different modes from sensitive to intensive clean. In our guide to the best electric toothbrushes, our expert put the newer iO9 iteration to the test, praising its brushing technology (which also features in the 8) and how the “mechanical action of the fast-moving brush can more easily get into those hard-to-reach areas”.

A product I managed to get my hands on with Black Friday specifically in mind, Cloud Nine’s airshot pro is the latest iteration of the brand’s bestselling airshot blow dryer. It’s lightweight, as sleek as they come design-wise and promises intelligent temperature control for maximum shine – but does it live up to its claims? My verdict was threefold: the self-cleaning anti-dust feature is spectacular, it really does allow your hair to achieve a mirror-level gloss, and it made for a relatively quick blow-dry. It gets a thumbs up from me, so why not join the silky strand crew while there’s £70 off at Boots.

A firm favourite among IndyBest readers, Marc Jacob’s Daisy perfume was so popular we set about reviewing the entire Daisy perfume range. Our tester praised the scent’s versatility, enjoying how it can seemingly “emanate springtime freshness without being pigeon-holed to the March-June months”. Now, with 15 per cent off, I’ll be picking it up in anticipation of party season.

Here at IndyBest, we’re all about retinol serums, be it for smoothing uneven skin textures or reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. La Roche-Posay’s is a hero product and, when reviewing it, beauty expert Lauren pointed out its appeal “for beginners looking to brighten their complexion and even out skin tone and fine lines”. Now that it has 25 per cent off, it could be time to stock up.
