Black Friday 2024 live: 25% off Huda Beauty eyeshadow palettes plus offers on Samsung

Apple discounts are few and far between, that is until Black Friday comes along. So far this year, we’ve seen both the brand new Apple Airpods 4 and the new Apple Watch ultra on sale. Plus, the stellar saving on an Apple iPad below.

Apple iPad, 10th generation, 2022: Was £349, now £308.97, Amazon.co.uk

With a discount of over £40, the 2022 iPad is almost at its cheapest-ever price at Amazon. “The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad Air, which usually costs £170 more,” our writer said in their review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion,” they added.

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 Black Friday sale is your best chance to score a pair for (a lot) less. And I’ve even found a stellar early deal on the brand’s cult platform style.

Ugg classic ultra mini platform boots, burnt cedar: Was £155, now £124, Very.co.uk

Make a statement this winter, with Uggs’ cult platform boots. 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.

Whether you’re a gamer or buying a gift for one, Black Friday is one the best times of year to pick up discounts on everything from the Nintendo Switch and Game Pass subscriptions to gaming laptops, Xbox series X and PlayStation 5 consoles.

PlayStation 5 (disc edition): Was £479.99, now £459.99, Argos.co.uk

Here’s the best price IndyBest’s resident gamer Steve found online for the regular PlayStation 5: a £20 saving at Argos. This model, with the ability to read Blu-ray discs, is essential for anyone whose library of games and movies is still physical.

Whether you’re after a new hair tool or a cordless vacuum, Dyson’s Black Friday sale could see you save hundreds of pounds on the brand’s products. Deals on Dyson are rare, so, make sure you don’t miss out.

Dyson V8 advanced: Was £329.99, now £229.99, Dyson.co.uk

We named a very similar version of this vacuum cleaner (the V8 absolute) our favourite budget Dyson vacuum cleaner, and it’s currently reduced by £100. “Just like the priciest models, you won’t have any problem with this machine’s power,” our reviewer said. “It will also trap 99.99 per cent of microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns, and is by far the quietest Dyson vacuum we tested,” they added.

Black Friday traditionally falls the day after Thanksgiving in the US, so, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November this year. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday, falling on 2 December 2024.

The main difference between the two sales is that Cyber Monday – as the name suggests – historically only takes place online, while Black Friday sees deals both online and in-store. This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, however, with plenty of brands continuing their in-store sales into the following week.

Cult Beauty is a treasure trove for beauty lovers. With brands like Drunk Elephant, Gisou and Benefit, there’s something for everyone. While its Black Friday sale hasn’t kicked off quite yet, there are plenty of early deals to ramp up the excitement.

Milk Makeup matte bronzer: Was £22, now £13.20, Cultbeauty.co.uk

Earning the honour of most pigmented in our guide to the best bronzers, Milk’s matte bronzer features a handy stick formula that makes it ideal for on-the-go application. Plus, a little product goes a long way. When testing, our beauty writer, Lucy, remarked that “for travel and small luggage allowances, its strength of pigment is a definite bonus, not to mention leaving a bolder radiant finish for parties, dinners and night-time occasions.” With 40 per cent off, it’s a perfect pick for the onslaught of upcoming Christmas parties.

Sage coffee machines are the gold standard for rustling up a barista-quality brew at home. But they don’t come cheap, so, Black Friday is your chance to save hundreds of pounds on a model, such as the tried-and-tested barista express below.

Sage Barista express bean-to-cup coffee machine: Was £629.99, now £495, Johnlewis.com

Our tester named this the best bean-to-cup coffee machine in their review. Now, you can snap it up in John Lewis’s Black Friday sale with a discount of more than £130. “You can tinker with the settings to your heart’s content, including the grind size of the bean and the volume of coffee, plus, of course, creating microfoam, using the steam wand”, our reviewer noted. “We found we made dreamy cups of coffee with little fuss right from the get-go”, they added. What more could you want when making your morning brew?

Whether it’s the brand’s helios hair dryer or the OG hair straighteners (which, according to our reviewer, are still the best), ghd’s hair tools are highly sought-after. Thanks to the brand’s Black Friday sale, there’s up 25 per cent off its stylers, wet-to-dry tools, hair dryers, curlers, styling products and brushes right now.

Ghd original hair styler: Was £139, now £104, Ghdhair.com

In her review, Maisie named the original hair styler the best overall. “I have sworn by ghd’s original styler straighteners ever since they launched in 2001, and though they have undergone some slight modifications over the years, it’s safe to say these straighteners are durable, stand the test of time, hold a style in place for hours, even in humid weather, and are therefore my go-to top pick.”
