The beauty retailer has launched its pre-Black Friday sale named ‘The Warm Up’ – here are some of the top deals we’ve found
The last Friday in November sees one of the biggest shopping events of the year taking place. But as we shopping writers prepare for the onslaught of Black Friday deals left, right and centre, it’s not just Friday 29 November you can expect to see a range of deals dropping.
In the lead up to the busy weekend, some of our favourite brands have already started launching some Black Friday deals – including online beauty store LookFantastic. Dubbed it’s Black Friday ‘The Warm Up’ event, the retailer has already begun slashing up to 50% off some of its best-selling products as well as offering an extra gift when you spend £70 or more.
With names like Sol de Janeiro, Yves Saint Laurent, Christophe Robin, Bobbi Brown and benefit – to name a few – on sale already, we thought we’d share some of the epic deals we’ve found on LookFantastic ahead of Black Friday. Keep scrolling to find out more.

Plus, we’ve got a few predictions on what will drop once Black Friday comes around. Last year saw brands like Elemis, REN, Elizabeth Arden, Murad, Nuxe, Kate Somerville, Estee Lauder, Medik8 and more grace their fans with some epic deals, and we doubt 2024 will be much different. There were also savings on beauty tools from straighteners and hairdryers to hair removal tools and face toning devices.
Perfume lovers can bag themselves a real bargain with a selection of brands offering 50% on their fragrances from Hugo Boss to Marc Jacobs. For example, Marc Jacobs Daisy Ever So Fresh Eau de Parfum for Women usually costs £92 for a 75ml bottle, but currently, LookFantastic has reduced its cost to just £46 here. For the man in your life, the HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent Absolute For Him Eau de Parfum, 100ml, is priced at £49.50 down from £99 – which is a great way to bag yourself a Christmas pressie for him on a budget.
For Diesel fans, you can get the amber, cedarwood, and leather scented Only The Brave Eau de Toilette for £47 for a 200ml bottle instead of £94. If Yves Saint Laurent is more your forte, its Black Opium Neon Eau de Parfum has 40% off currently and will set you back £64.80 instead of £108.
Moving onto make-up, there are some pretty tempting deals currently on offer with some pretty big names – this Rodial mini low lighter, blush drops and lip oil is 50% less at £46.50 down from £93. If eyeshadow is more your bag, this Illamasqua Movement Artistry Eyeshadow Palette, with richly pigmented hues from neutral mattes to vibrant pink and purple shimmer finishes, is now £19.50 down from £39.
Clinique lovers can get their hands on the viral Black Honey Almost Lipstick for £20.80 down from £24.50. With a dark red tinge, the glossy, sheer TikTok famous lippy has had the seal of approval from make-up buffs for giving ‘lips and cheeks that gorgeous autumn flush’.
Some shoppers claim it ‘matches’ up to your skin tone making it the ‘perfect boost of colour’ on a day when you want to wear no make-up. It’s ‘buildable’ and ‘flattering’ and currently on sale! Prefer the lip and cheek oil that recently launched? It’s your lucky day as that’s currently on offer too for 20% off, now costing £18.80 from £23.50. This oil alternative ‘lasted all afternoon’ and is ideal for those ‘no-make-up days’ as it gives a ‘lovely flush of colour’ and is’t too ‘sticky’ (as some lip oils can be).
To give your brows some TLC whilst saving money on your favourite brand, benefit’s Brow Haul of Fame Brow Basics Kit has been discounted by 50% and now costs £27.50 – for three products – down from £55. Coming in three different shades, it’s the ideal gift for someone in need of upping their brow game.
Fans of Bobbi Brown can get their hands on its renowned Vitamin Enriched Face Base for £43.20 instead of £54 in Lookfantastic’s pre-Black Friday sales. Beloved by the likes of Molly-Mae Hague the cult classic primer is ‘infused with glow-boosting vitamins and hydration heroes’ ad works to both prime and moisturise, ready for your make-up. With hyaluronic acid, shea butter and a whole host of vitamins (B5, C and E), the primer leaves your skin silky smooth and gives your make-up a flawless base – plus, it smells gorgeous with notes of grapefruit and geranium.
Skincare buffs will be pleased to hear that brands like REN, Kiehl’s, First Aid Beauty, Perricone MD, Estee Lauder, Aveeno and ESPA have got involved too.

Elsewhere Zendaya’s go-to mascara, Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara, is also reduced to £19.50 from £26, saving you £6.50. Great for adding volume and drama without the dreaded clumps, the mascara has a ‘velvety texture’ and its curved wand “pushes up the lashes for a curled effect without need for a curler”.
For those needing to give their hair a boost, Christophe Robin’s Colour Shield Cleansing Mask – a brand loved by Sofia Richie Grainge – is down by £18.50, dropping its £37 price tag by 50%.

Black Friday – and its pre-sale deals – is a great opportunity to snap up some epic Christmas gifts for less, and beauty sets are a great option for those in your life whose morning routines are filled with lotions and potions. For expectant mothers, Mama Mio’s Bloomin Lovely set is now £19 down from £38 and consists of its Pregnancy Boob Tube, Tummy Rub Butter, Lucky Legs Cooling Gel and Megamama Shower Milk.

Of course LookFantastic isn’t the only beauty retailers slashing its prices ahead of the main Black Friday sale. Give Me Cosmetics has launched its deals offering at least 50% off some of its best-selling products. Boots has also jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon with thousands of products reduced here.
