Sephora Black Friday: The best beauty deals for 2024 that we're shopping during the sale

Murad's one of those old-timey, effective, high-quality brands I trust and you simply can't beat the on-sale price — and targeted combination — of this potent skin care set, which aims to de-puff undereyes, minimize pores and blur fine lines within minutes. 

It comes with three travel-size tubes: Targeted Pore Corrector, Targeted Wrinkle Corrector and Targeted Eye Depuffer. Each works to tighten and brighten skin, while also plumping texture; a near-ideal on-the-go skin care routine and a steal at just $17.

If you want to streamline your morning routine, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better product than this 3-in-1 primer, skin brightener and self-tanner from trusted brand Ole Henriksen. It's packed with vitamin C to rejuvenate dull or sallow-looking skin, while a DHA and sugar-derived self-tanner leaves behind a subtle bronze glow. It's a just-right product for winter skin — and right now, you can get it for 50% off. 

I've rarely experienced a faster blowout than when I've used this sleek, travel-sized version from beloved brand T3. Compact, yet powerful enough to be used every day, it's designed to dry hair quickly and gently while minimizing frizz. The ion-infused airstream works like magic, leaving hair shinier, glossier and smoother.

If you're curious, now's the time to try it: It's currently 30% off, the lowest price I've seen all year. This would also be an amazing for any woman in your life who's frequently on the go.

Even as a kind of obnoxious beauty snob, I can't tell you how excited I'd be to receive this stellar Paula's Choice 3-in-1 skin care kit as a gift. It's made specifically to treat an uneven complexion and each of the products — a mild exfoliator, a vitamin C serum and a high-quality sunscreen — works to brighten, lighten and smooth rough skin.

If you haven't tried Paula's Choice products for yourself, they're among the most reliably effective and the brand is among the most trusted. The "skin perfecting" exfoliator, which is included in this set, has racked up tens of thousands of 5-star reviews with legions of fans across the internet. It's especially good for addressing mature skin issues, like discoloration and enlarged pores.  

Sure, it costs more than I paid for a week's groceries when I was 25, but listen: Sometimes you just want a little luxury in your life, to know that all this hard work you do means you can occasionally splash out on yourself. This gorgeous, glossy-but-not-too-glossy, nondrying Tom Ford lipstick is worth the splurge. 

While there are six shades included in the current sale, I'm partial to "Ile D'Amour" — a sexy, '80s-business-lady-out-on-the-town red. 

I've had my eye on this limited-edition pack of two Kiehl's moisturizers for the past few weeks and, now that they're on sale, am finally hitting click-to-buy. The classic, best-selling cream is ultra-emollient, made with super-hydrators like squalane and glacial glycoproteins and ideal for treating dry winter skin.

The package — a $106 value — comes with two ample 4.2 oz tubs — if you act now, your skin will stay dewy and soft through spring.
