It’s approaching that crucial time, Thanksgiving Day which now seems to be the new Black Friday only it’s Thursday which makes this Black Friday to be more oxymoronic! Given that deals have already been sprouting up online, the Black Friday has morphed into “Charcoal Thurday”, “Gray Wednesday”, “Raincloud Tuesday” (as much for the weather as well as the light to medium gray tones you see in rainclouds!) “Meh Monday” — more the way people feel about the sales than an indication of how they feel about the holiday. We actually want our stores to close and have people at home– it’s the one day of rest they will really have until Christmas Day!!
Despite all that, there is a lot on sale and if you watch your prices and scour the web and network with others online, you will find that the bargain prices are not so much bargain as it is sleuthing out great bargains on products you really want from sellers who aren’t just playing games with “original prices” . The products and sales I am listing here on this blog post (pretty much all beauty and maybe a hint of a few other things)– are the real deal markdown prices at stores that I know are serious about selling a product out to you that you want to have.
Also make sure you scroll through the entire list — because there are some great brands and savings to be had at the VERY END!! Also more scoop on new lines that are trying to get your attention too!
Used and recommended by spas and dermatologists, the Spa Sonic Face and Body Polisher is the essential first step in a healthy skin care ritual. The waterproof device can be used on both the face and body to deeply cleanse while removing impurities, exfoliating, tightening and minimizing pores. Available in three shades, White, Lavender and Pink, it makes a great gift for everyone on your list – mom, sister, best friend, even dad or boyfriend!
