The Best Black Friday Deals For Makeup Lovers

by Summer Arlexis

Heinous check out lines. Shoulder to shoulder crowds. Deals that'll reduce you to tears of joy. Yep, Black Friday is nearly here! Whether you're the shopper that loves the rush of hitting dozens of stores post Turkey Day or you prefer your savings crowd-free from behind your computer screen, you're likely to be considering going Black Friday shopping right about now.

As a self-proclaimed lipstick enthusiast, I for one, will be taking advantage of the best makeup deals the day has to offer. I get a rush every time I leave any store with loads of products, so there's no way I'm missing the chance to build my beauty stash at hugely discounted prices. Yes, I will be that Black Friday shopper that is hopped up on triple grande caramel macchiatos because she stayed up for two nights in a row researching the best discounts.

Call me crazy, but once you see all the beauty doorbusters coming your way, you'll get where my head's at. If makeup isn't exactly your thing, Black Friday is still a great time to score a set worth gifting to a loved one (or a few loved ones, if you opt to split it up) — and your wallet will love you for keeping it within your budget. Get a load of these 2015 Black Friday and Cyber Monday makeup deals that'll get you on fleek for cheap.

1. BITE Beauty

BITE Beauty Lip Lab Limited Release Set, $298, Sephora

You might be thinking, "$300 for lipstick? No way!" but a true beauty enthusiast would recognize this major deal. At $36 a pop, BITE lipsticks are a popular item on Sephora's shelves. The brand releases a limited edition creme lipstick each month that usually sells quickly. By purchasing this exclusive set, you'll get all 12 shades at once for $134 less than you would if you bought each one separately. Be sure to put this steal on your checklist for Cyber Monday (Nov. 30), where it will launch online only at Sephora for a limited time.

2. Make Up For Ever

Artist Shadow Collector's Palette, $280, Makeupforever

This 30-shadow palette featuring MUFE's best-selling neutral and color popping shades will be available on Cyber Monday. You'll be able to snag this deal (a deal with a $714 value, might I add) on their site.

Waterproof Hero Set, $10, Makeupforever

While you're at it, you may want to pick up some MUFE eyeliner! This usually-$27 limited edition duo features full size and travel size Aqua Eyes liners. But you can find them both for $10 on Cyber Monday on MUFE's or Sephora's site. Talk about a great stocking stuffer for a loved one.

3. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics

Lip Tar/RTW Trio Set, $30, Nordstrom

Speaking of lip tars, OCC will also have a lip tar set featuring their cult classics available exclusively at Nordstrom. A drop of product is all you need to get full coverage with OCC lip tars, which is why I adore them!
