MAC’s Black Friday offering is all about bargains on their most famous products…
MAC Strobe Cream – usual price £26, now £20.80
This is called a moisturiser by the brand, but we’d err on the side of caution and use it sparingly. The thing is, this is such a standout highlighter, that your face will resemble a disco ball. We like to tap it onto our high points with our fingers. Nothing looks more natural than a creamy texture.
MAC Studio Face & Body Foundation – usual price £32, now £25.60
This is a complete MAC hero. It’s loved by make-up artists across the globe because of it’s light-to-medium coverage that can be built up easily. Also it lasts and lasts and lasts, which means when it drops to £25.60, you’re making a killing.
What is Black Friday?
If you’ve never taken part in the biggest shopping event of the year, you are in for a treat. Shops and brands put on major sales at the end of November (this year Black Friday falls on 27th November). The discounts often start a couple of days before the Friday and continue for a few days after, into the beginning of the next week (a.k.a Cyber Monday). It’s seen as the start of Christmas shopping, because you can get all of your gifts sorted within a couple of days.
Are deals really better on Black Friday?
Absolutely. It’s definitely worth waiting for this weekend before investing in any new make-up products, because some of your favourite brands are sure to put on some fab Black Friday beauty deals.
