Our Favorite Black Friday 2023 Deals From Amazon

It's that time of year again: Black Friday sale season, when you can finally nab those discounts you've been waiting months for. For one-stop shopping, Amazon is one of the best options — you'll find deals on makeup, hair styling items, skincare, and more during its 2023 Black Friday sale, running from November 17 (that means you can already start shopping now) through November 27.

New deals will drop throughout the sale period, but we rounded up some of the best discounts you can get right now. To narrow down our picks, we looked for the biggest savings so you can keep more cash in your pocket for holiday gift shopping (or for buying yourself more beauty goodies — we won't judge). We also selected products from tried-and-true brands you're likely already familiar with. For items we haven't tested out ourselves, we scoured online reviews and ratings, eliminating any products that aren't up to snuff according to your fellow beauty junkies.

With this criteria in mind, we dug into Amazon's Black Friday sales pages and singled out the skin, hair, and makeup goods to add to your cart before they sell out.

Blow-drying wet hair used to be a long and tedious process, but a few clever brands are changing the game, including Shark. Just two years ago, the vacuum company launched its first haircare product, the HyperAIR Blow Dryer, and since then, the item has gained a following among those who don't feel like spending a fortune on Dyson's Supersonic dryer. The savings are even steeper during Amazon's Black Friday sale: Shark's blow dryer set, complete with a concentrator and styling brush, is currently retailing for 43% off its list price.

The HyperAIR model promises fast drying and less heat damage with its negative ion generator. You can also customize your blowout with multiple heat and airflow settings, plus a cool function to seal it all in. Amazon shoppers rated the product 4.5 out of 5 stars for value and comfort. Some reviewers even noted that the tool cut their drying time in half. A note for curly-haired girlies: Grab the set with the diffuser instead of the styling brush and still get 30% off during the sale.

Purchase the Shark HyperAIR Blow Dryer with the concentrator and styling brush for $129.99.

It's hard to think of brow pencils without thinking of Anastasia Beverly Hills. The brand's Brow Wiz pencil is a makeup bag staple. It's slim enough to create fine, natural-looking hairs but pigmented enough to make sparse brows look lush again. The pencil wand also comes with a built-in spoolie to help you brush and shape your brows to perfection. It's no wonder it's been named the #1 best-selling brow product in the U.S., according to the U.S. Prestige Beauty Market Report (via Anastasia Beverly Hills).

Now's your chance to stock up. Brow Wiz and other products by Anastasia Beverly Hills are discounted during Amazon's Black Friday sale period. The pencil, available in 12 different colors, is available for a cool 30% off. We recommend grabbing two different brow pencil shades for the most realistic effect.

Purchase the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil for $17.50.

Whether you're already a COSRX devotee or you've been meaning to try the K-Beauty brand for a while, you're in luck.

The formula is one of the brand's bestsellers, with nearly 1 million bottles sold. Inside, you'll find 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, which is thought to hydrate, smooth, and heal the skin, according to WebMD.

If the thought of rubbing snail slime on your face weirds you out, the product's Amazon reviews offer some reassurance. Nearly 60,000 customers rated the essence an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars, and reviewers love that it cleared and toned their complexion without irritation. Get it now at 44% off.

If TikTok trends are any indication, laser hair removal is officially the new shaving. The #laserhairremoval tag has racked up nearly 3 billion views, and while some clips show in-office treatments, others laud the use of at-home IPL lasers that allow you to nix unwanted hairs from the comfort of your own bathroom. You can try the technique yourself without going broke with INNZA's IPL laser hair removal device. The laser gun is 59% off during Amazon's Black Friday sale period, and for a limited time, you can apply an additional 30% off coupon for even bigger savings.

INNZA's IPL device has a 4.3-star rating on Amazon, with customers noticing results after just a few weeks. Some reviewers also noted that the device's cooling feature eliminates the pain often associated with laser hair removal. Keep in mind that this item may not be suitable for dark skin or light-colored hair.

Purchase the INNZA IPL Laser Hair Removal kit for $78.69.

There's a good chance that IT Cosmetics' Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream is already in your makeup arsenal, given that it's the best-selling CC cream on Amazon and one of the best-selling foundations in the country (according to the U.S. Prestige Beauty Market Report, via IT Cosmetics). The full-coverage cream hides blemishes and uneven tone while protecting the skin with an SPF 50+ physical sunscreen barrier.

IT Cosmetics' CC cream is also packed with skin-boosting niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. Think of it as a 3-in-1 color corrector, face serum, and sunscreen that can be easily incorporated into almost any skincare and makeup routine. If you haven't tried it yet — or if your current tube is nearly running out — get the cream now for 30% off before it sells out.

We've talked before about the benefits of adding a facial steamer to your skincare routine, and if you haven't added one to your repertoire yet, the Black Friday sale period might be a good time to start. On Amazon, you can snag this 3-in-1 steamer (acting as a facial steamer, a humidifier for those dry-skin days, and a towel warmer) at an impressive 43% off.

Besides delivering a soothing mist of steam to your skin, the gadget comes with five stainless steel extraction tools to help you remove clogs and acne spots. But most of all, reviewers say they like how the steamer hydrates and refreshes their skin. Others point out that the device elevates a basic skincare routine and recreates spa vibes at home. To date, over 40,000 customers have given the NanoSteamer an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Purchase the Pure Daily Care 3-in-1 NanoSteamer for $33.95.

Removing that peach fuzz on your face could be the secret to making your skin softer and smoother — no more makeup caking up on those itty bitty hairs! But you need a reliable dermaplaning tool to get the job done. The Kitsch Dermaplaner is known to come in clutch, with nearly 15,000 Amazon reviews averaging a 4.4-star rating. Right now, you can grab the 12-pack set at nearly half off the original price. Use the trimming tool to remove unwanted hair on your chin and cheeks or use it around your eyebrows to keep strays at bay.

If you're new to face shaving, know that dermaplaning can be irritating, as per Healthline, and a soothing moisturizer is a must after. Reviewers also warn against rushing through the shaving process, as the blade is sharp and could leave you with nasty nicks and scrapes.

Purchase the Kitsch Dermaplaner 12 Pack in Terracotta for $7.19.

If your New Year's resolution for 2024 is to experiment more with your makeup, consider throwing a few new lip shades into the mix. A fiery red or deep chocolate-hued pout can transform your look and make a major statement — before you even open your mouth to speak. If you're ready to play but not ready to drop loads of cash to expand your options, add a few L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Lip Crayons to your cart while doing your Black Friday shopping. At up to 67% off (depending on the shade), these crayons are practically a steal. Take your pick from 18 matte colors formulated to stay put for hours.

Overall, reviewers like the product, giving it an average of 4.1 out of 5 stars, though some users did mention that the colors look different in real life compared to the photos, so a little trial and error might be required to find your favorite shade. As a matte lippy, you may also notice some dryness, so double up with a lip balm if needed.

Purchase the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Lip Crayon in Smooth Caramel for $3.34.
