Shop These Pre-Black Friday Sales While You Can

by Rachel Nussbaum

The aisles of Walgreens are prime for browsing inexpensive beauty buys, especially with drugstore beauty stepping up its game recently. When things get cheap on top of cheap — as is the case with Walgreens' pre-Black Friday deals — it's time to snatch the goods, with many an inspiring primer or micellar water on sale for even less money. Not that you'll have to scoop these deals up in person: With only one day left to shop online, Walgreens' pre-Black Friday deals won't last, so it's probably best to click over immediately.

The saying "all good things must end" has kind of a double-edge here, with the end of pre-Black Friday sales making way for the excitement of Black Friday itself. Even if you're not the Black Friday shopping type, at least you can say you still got some great makeup out of the deal if you shop these pre-holiday deals.

The Walgreens pre-Black Friday sale has a ton of gems, with deals on both specific items and categories at large. Skincare, color cosmetics, a Philips Norelco Series 5000 Shaver 5500, maybe even a WaterPik Professional Aquarius Water Flosser as an early holiday present for one lucky guy. The deals, they are aplenty.

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Bad To The Bronze, $6.99, Walgreens.com
