If you’re on the hunt for post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals, I’d make a beeline for Lookfantastic, where the deals are still going strong. Whether you’re stocking up on your favourite Olaplex haircare, hunting for Sol de Janeiro’s latest fragrances, or replenishing your make-up bag, the retailer’s 30 per cent sitewide offer hasn’t gone anywhere, for now – phew.

As a beauty writer who puts the latest launches to the test, I know which brands you should trust and what formulas to steer clear of. I’ve covered the major sales events for years, so I can spot a good deal from a dud. This year, Lookfantastic’s deals were better than ever, and there are still plenty of impressive reductions on some of my all-time favourite products, all of which I’ve detailed below.

For even more savings, I’ve also rounded up more of the top Lookfantastic discount codes you can use this month.

In the review, our tester commented that it “is light enough that you can wear it alone or over other brow products, and it gives good hold and lift”. As for the precisely, my brow detailer, it also comes IndyBest-approved as the best brow pencil for volume. Our reviewer praised how it “boasts an extra small tip (0.8mm to be precise) for fine strokes that mimic hairs”. The set is not to be missed with 20 per cent off with the code ‘SAVE’.

What is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Black Friday, which took place on 28 November 2025, kicked off the holiday shopping season with discounts across both stores and online, spanning tech, fashion, home goods, and more. The sales morphed into the Cyber Monday sales on 1 December, and while they officially came to an end at midnight last night, many brands and retailers (Lookfantastic included) extended their deals. Lucky us. I’d finalise your basket soon if I were you, though, as we don’t know exactly how long the deals will last.

How I selected the best Lookfantastic deals

As our beauty experts have tested hundreds of products, I know exactly what I'm looking for when the sales roll around. When I spot a top-performing hair dryer or a must-have foundation in the sales, I use price tracking websites like PriceRunner and PriceSpy to make sure the deal is really as good as it seems. What you'll see above are the very best deals that Lookfantastic has to offer.
