Best deals in Boots Black Friday sale
Dyson corrale cord-free straightener blue/blush: Was £399.99, now £249.99, Boots.com
Dyson’s corrale straightener is one of the best in the business, helping you to reduce frizz and flyaways. In our review, the writer praised the unique copper alloy plates that “sit on top of a layer of ‘microhinges’, which help to gather every single hair as you style”. They said that their “hair stayed smooth and bouncy all day”. With £150 off, this is certainly a pukka deal, especially for the early offerings.
Braun IPL silk-expert pro 5: Was £600, now £300, Boots.com
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 a whopping £300 discount, you’ll be stepping into the Christmas with smooth legs and a shave-free festive season.
Laneige lip sleeping mask berry: Was £21, now £16.80, Boots.com
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 15 per cent off it’s even better.
Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £49, now £36.75, Boots.com
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 the perfect time to add this to your skincare bounty. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Braun all-in-one style kit series 7: Was £89.99, now £49.99, Boots.com
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.
Lancôme teint miracle bare skin hydrating dewy foundation SPF 15: Was £39.50, now £19.75, Boots.com
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 eau de parfum: Was £85, now £70, Boots.com
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.
CeraVe blemish control face cleanser: Was £13, now £10.40, Boots.com
CeraVe products are always my affordable skincare go-to, but I certainly won’t turn my nose up at an extra 20 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.”
Philips series 5000 wet and dry men’s electric shaver, S546: Was £149.99, now £54.99, Boots.com
A whopping £90 has been shaved off the price of this Philips 5000 series model. When our reviewer tested Philips’s 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 just £60, this deal is bound to leave you buzzing.
Lancome Boots star gift: Was £161, now £49, Boots.com
With a saving of more than £100 to be had, this trio of products from Lancôme makes for a stellar gift. The included génifique yeux featured in our guide to the best eye serums, where our tester praised the number of different ways you can use the flexible massage applicator, depending on the results you’re after. “We particularly loved using it on puffy eyes for a lymphatic eye drainage massage,” they said. The other products included in the set, the hypnôse mascara and the génifique ultimate serum, are both cult products in the make-up and skincare sphere. While myself and the team haven’t tested either of these, the similar hypnôse le8 formula featured in our guide to best mascaras, where our tester said it was “ideal for dry, brittle lashes needing some TLC”.
CeraVe hydration essentials set with hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides: Was £41, now £27.33, Boots.com
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 more than 30 per cent off, it’s a no-brainer.
Oral-B iO8 electric toothbrush violet ametrine with limited edition travel case: Was £450, now £170, Boots.com
If you’ve not tried Oral-B’s iO series of toothbrushes, take this £310 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”.
Cloud Nine the airshot pro: Was £299, now £229, Boots.com
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.
Marc Jacobs daisy eau de toilette: Was £73, now £54.75, Boots.com
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.
La Roche-Posay retinol B3 serum: Was £48, now £38.40, Boots.com
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 20 per cent off, it could be time to stock up.
When will the Boots Black Friday deals begin?
Boots Black Friday sale is already live with savings of over £500 ready to shop now in the weeks leading up to Black Friday. As for the main event, this year Black Friday will take place on 29 November – so you’ll have four full days to shop the official sale.
What Boots Black Friday deals can we expect to see?
Based on previous years’ sales, I’m hoping to see the Dyson airwrap at a lower price, and I’ll be eyeing up the likes of Mac, No7 and Estée Lauder for deals on lip liners, retinol and foundations. As a beauty writer, I’m also used to seeing Chanel’s iconic No. 5, coco mademoiselle and chance perfumes in the sale, with Black Friday being the ideal time to save money on high-ticket brands and products. Right now, for instance, shoppers can save £150 on the Dyson corrale straightener (was £399.99, now £249.99, Boots.com).
