Black Friday: The editorial team shops these items

Black Friday 2023
The editorial team shops these items

“If not now then when?” is the motto every year on Black Friday, when brands entice us with discounts that make our hearts beat faster. Finally it’s time to redeem your wish list and fulfill one or two materialistic dreams. You can find out which deals our fashion and beauty editors got here.

Black Friday: Editor Melanie hits skincare and boots

Even though my job allows me to test a lot of care products, there are still some that I constantly buy. That’s what comes when you look at mine Cosmetic stock definitely equals an accolade. One of these articles is mine Zitclean cleansing gel from Acnemy. Even though most people know that salicylic acid (BHA) helps against pimples, blackheads and spots, it still depends on the correct formulation of the product so that it is effective. In short: This cleansing gel is the only one that makes a visible difference for me. I apply it to damp skin, work it in with circular movements and then leave it on for as long as possible (while brushing my teeth). Throughout November, as part of Black Friday, there is not only an XL size, but also 30 percent off everything at Niche Beauty Lab. Be sure to check out the Ascorbic Acid Serum from Theramid and the Glycerin Face Serum from Transparent Lab. The truth and nothing but the truth is that I ordered the XL size of the cleanser three times and a normal size (for traveling) because I have already tried so many alternatives, none of which worked. I live for this product!

This year I’m totally on the boot trip. I already have some on sale Zalando in brown from Högl shopped – now I’ve tasted blood and want MORE! And in black. However, I’m pretty picky about the tip (pointy, but not too pointy) and comfort. I want boots with a bit of a heel, but I’m the biggest crybaby after a very short time. A cheap model is therefore out of the question for me because I have had so many uncomfortable experiences with shoes. The object of my desire: Knee-high leather boots with pointed toe cap from COS for around 300 euros. There is no sale yet, but because there has always been a Black Friday offer in recent years, I’m hoping for good deals. And then I’ll strike!

Black Friday: Editor Jessica treats herself to cozy homewear

For me, pure luxury is cozy, high-quality pajamas. Especially in the cold season, when you make yourself comfortable on the couch with a cup of tea, a cozy blanket and a good book, a new pair of pajamas comes in handy. My go-to this year are the models from the Swiss brand Calida. I particularly liked the “Night Lovers” model in burgundy red with contrasting seams. Just run to the mailbox quickly? No problem! Awarded the swiss+cotton seal of quality and made from Supima® cotton, the 130 euro two-piece suit is an investment that I will benefit from for a long time to come. In recent years there have been… Calida has a 20 percent discount on Black Friday.

Lisa Marie took a look at eye-catching looks for the Christmas party

I’m already looking forward to the many Christmas parties and will take advantage of the Black Friday sales to shop for a party look. And if not to wear sequins during the festive season, then when? This year I’m going for pink sequins and feathers – after all, 2023 was all about “Barbie”! The Roxy skirt by Nadine Merabi can be combined in many ways and is a real eye-catcher. Plus, it works not only at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, but also in summer. On the British label Nadine Merabi there is from November 16th to 28th up to 50 percent discountthe skirt costs 160 euros instead of 265 euros – I just have to buy it!

Editor Julika hopes to be able to save on beauty gadgets for Black Friday

When it comes to the biggest shopping event of the year, there are clearly two types of people: those who have been eagerly compiling wish lists for months, and those who are spontaneously won over by the lightning deals. Even though I can’t rule out impulse purchases, a planned purchase is also on my list: The CurrentBody Skin x Ziip Lift & Brighten Set. I’m a big fan of gadgets and tools! No matter whether it’s an LED mask, facial brush or ice eye mask: skin care tools that create a beautiful complexion make my beauty heart beat faster every evening in the bathroom and really round off my routine. However, I still miss a firming tool like the Ziip Halo!

Black Friday comes in handy, especially when it comes to more expensive beauty gadgets. This is available in a set with the famous LED light therapy mask 30 percent less and in the offer price for 525 euros. And that until as of November 30, 2023.

Editor Ilka takes advantage of the Black Friday sale for investment pieces

I actually try to stay away from sales as much as possible because you’re always in danger of buying things you don’t need. But I’ve been actively taking advantage of the Black Friday sale for years and that’s because you can get great bargains, especially on premium second-hand platforms. Preparation is everything. This year I’m keeping an eye on the little one Celine Bag Triomphe thrown. It’s small, simple, but super elegant. The logo isn’t too bold and it goes with many of my outfits. The good piece would cost me around 3200 euros new. At Vestaire Collective There are used models that look like new for almost 500 euros less. Still too expensive for me. In recent years, however, the platform has Black Friday discounts of 20 percent offered, that at these prices there is a saving of almost 500.

I can’t call them my own yet, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the bags on my favorites list will still be there on Black Friday and that I’ll be able to snap them up in the big sale.
