Black Friday 2024 live: Latest discounts, from iPads to skincare

Boots kicked off its Black Friday 2024 sale an entire month early, and I can confirm it’s mega.

With offers on everything from haircare and make-up to anti-ageing skincare and more, it’s time to start browsing your favourite products (be it Clinique’s black honey almost lipstick or the Huda beauty setting powder).

The full Black Friday sale doesn’t officially kick off until the final Friday of November, after Thanksgiving, and the reductions will continue throughout the weekend, finishing on Cyber Monday (2 December).

If you want to get ahead of the action, Boots has reduced the price of more than 22,000 products across premium beauty, fragrance, electrical beauty, and much more. Our beauty writer, Lucy, has rounded up her favourite deals below.

“If you’re looking for a sleep tracker, activity tracker or just want to know as much as you can about your body, then the gen 3 Oura ring will tick a lot of your boxes, in one tiny package,” Kat said in her review of the fitness device. With six different coloured rings available (from silver to gold), it’s a more stylish choice than a Fitbit or Garmin.

When Kat tested the device out, she was impressed with its battery life and sleep insights, as well as fertility and period tracking. Right now, you can save nearly 30 per cent thanks to Amazon and John Lewis (Johnlewis.com), which have both reduced the ring down to its lowest ever price.

There’s one hair tool that’s always high on people’s wishlists come Black Friday: the Dyson supersonic. A staple of my own haircare regime, the Dyson supersonic helps me get out the door more quickly in the morning, while the slick design means it takes pride of place on my dressing table.

Now, the price of the 2022 Dyson supersonic model has been slashed for Black Friday at multiple retailers.

Praised for being easy to use, our tester also found that it delivers “a real punch of power for fast drying times”. With this deal, you can save £50 on the luxury hair tool.

Frm the cult Hollywood flawless filter to the viral contour wand, chances are we all have a Charlotte Tilbury product in our make-up collections. Now for Black Friday, you can save up to 40 per cent on the brand’s kits.

Lightweight and buildable, beauty writer Ellie found this skin tint creamy and easy to blend. Plus she found that it lasted nearly as well as her favourite full coverage foundations, which is “impressive considering you’d usually have to give up longwear for a glowy finish”. Together with the bestselling beauty light wand in your choice of shade, you’ll be left with a smoothed, glowy complexion from dawn till dusk.

Whether you love them or wish they’d been left in the Noughties, there’s no denying the resurgence of Uggs – and the brand’s Black Friday sale is one of the most anticipated.

With Ugg styles costing anywhere between £90 to £165, its sale is your best chance to score a pair for (a lot) less. You can sign up to be among the first to know when Ugg’s sale kicks off, but in the meantime I’ve found some stellar savings on the brand’s fur-lined boots and slippers.

Distinguished by the brand’s signature ankle silhouette, shearling-lined interior and suede outer, the boots’ platform soles give them a contemporary edge. Thanks to Very, you can save £30 on the wintery burnt cedar colourway. Style with baggy jeans and a thick knit, for the ultimate cosy ensemble.

Falling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season.

This year, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (2 December).

However, plenty of brands have kicked off their sales early this year. Boots was the first to kick off proceedings, with John Lewis and Argos closely behind. In the days since, AO, Currys, Shark, Ninja, Oodie, Superdrug, Habitat and Dyson have all followed suit. Amazon is among the latest to join in, with the retailer launching its early Black Friday sale on 21 November 2024.

Whether I’m after an occasion dress, a staple pair of heels for party season or a knitted jumper to complete my winter wardrobe, Zara is my favourite destination on the high street for affordable fashion – and the brand’s Black Friday sale is a highlight of the shopping calendar.

Zara hosts a few sales throughout the year but its Black Friday event is the most anticipated. In 2023, the brand offered 40 per cent off selected items, while previous years have seen site-wide discounts of 20 to 30 per cent.

From winter coats and boots to party dresses, skirts and knits, the 2024 sale will be your chance to refresh your wardrobe for the new year, and at a fraction of the cost. Below, I’ve rounded up everything you need to know, including offers available to shop now.

Blanket hoodies are one of winter’s hottest buys – and one brand in particular dominates the market: Oodie. Luckily, if you’re looking to save on one of its coveted wearable throws, the brand has just announced the return of its mega Black Friday event, where you can save 50 per cent on its blanket hoodies.

“Large enough to curl beneath it on the sofa but still sufficiently fitted and lightweight to move around the house while working from home, the Oodie will be a saviour when temperatures plummet,” I said in my review of the cult Oodie. My only gripe was its not-so-pocket-friendly price, making this 50 per cent saving especially appealing.
