Where To Shop For Makeup On Cyber Monday

by Danielle Guercio

The holiday gift buying bonanza has always been a source of stress, crowds, and lines until the Internet shook things up. Thanks to Cyber Monday, you can find sales on makeup, clothes, and just about anything else without all the hecticness of going to an actual store. Can you even still imagine a world where the toy stampede scene from Jingle All The Way was the only way you could get that toy for your kid in time for whichever holiday you celebrate? Thankfully, it is totally different now, and you can order up nearly anything your heart desires and have it delivered in days — sometimes even hours! The world is rapidly changing and as consumers we reap the benefits and conveniences.

Even if you don't celebrate any holidays at all, Monday Nov. 30th is a crucial shopping day to score deep discounts on beauty, fashion, gifts, and more, but beauty usually takes the cake with combo sets and deals that are far cheaper than typical retail price. When you log onto almost any site on Cyber Monday, you should almost always be presented with a discount code to use, it's become nearly universal, but some beauty buys are better than others, and I'm gonna break it down.

1. Deals That Give Back

The Body Shop

The Body Shop is not only doing 50 percent off sitewide on most items (some exclusions are to be expected) but they're giving one day of clean water to a family in Ethiopia with select purchases Black Friday through Cyber Monday. They're also taking $25 off of orders of $75 and certain gift sets are clocking in at a mere 30 percent of original retail price. And the body icing on the cake: A free body butter with every qualifying order! On 12/1, the sale morphs into #givebacktuesday where a percentage of proceeds. will be going to provide safe water to Ethiopians and other charities.

As you can see, the deals, gift sets, and freebies are literally pouring from every site imaginable, this is the single best day of the year to shop online. Once deals like this are over, you still have more time to shop online, but keep in mind that many sites have shipping deadlines for Hanukkah (only a few days away!) and Christmas. Whether you're an Ebenezer Trump type who is only shopping for yourself or a generous type buying for all friends and family both great and small, this is the time to jump right on it.
