15 Editor-Loved Early Black Friday Fashion and Beauty Deals

One of my favorite ways to kick off every holiday gifting season is by reading Oprah’s Favorite Things List. Not only is it stuffed with the best gift ideas for my loved ones, but it also serves as inspiration for my Black Friday shopping wishlist. This year, though, I decided to make my own “favorites” list, consisting of my most-used fashion and beauty products from the year, all of which are on sale days before the shopping holiday officially starts.

Altogether, you can save up to $575 on my fashion and beauty essentials from Dyson, J.Crew, Cyklar, and more top brands. Now, I’m not saying my list can compete with Oprah’s, but we do share a favorite product, Rag & Bone Miramar Jeans, so I have confidence in my selections. So, without further ado, shop my 15 favorite fashion and beauty finds from the year below, starting at just $20.

Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer

Whenever I tell someone that I have a Dyson Airwrap, their first question is inevitably, “Is it worth it?” My answer: absolutely. This hair tool helps me achieve a salon-worthy blowout in minutes, which is reason enough to purchase it. But it also minimizes heat damage, leaving my hair feeling smoother and much healthier compared to when I use traditional hot tools. Yes, it’s a splurge, but it’s currently at its lowest price of the year during Amazon’s Black Friday event—just think of it as a holiday gift for your hair.

Levi’s 318 Shaping Wide Leg Jeans

Ever since I purchased Levi’s 318 Shaping wide-leg jeans, they’ve earned me countless compliments for their ultra-flattering cut and expensive-looking wash. Being five-feet-tall, I appreciate the jeans being available in a petite-friendly inseam, and I even think they make my legs look an inch or two longer, thanks to the elongating silhouette. They’re currently a best-seller at Amazon, with hundreds of perfect ratings, including one shopper who raved that the jeans “make your butt look amazing,” and you can snag them for 40 percent off right now.

Jenny Bird Florence Earrings

Jenny Bird is my go-to brand for expensive-looking jewelry that won’t break the bank. Over the past few months, I’ve been wearing the Florence Earrings on repeat. As someone who isn’t afraid to mix metals, I love the two-tone design, which goes with just about any of my jewelry looks. They’re currently 25 percent off at Shopbop (just don’t forget to use the code HOLIDAY at checkout.)

Skims Fits Everybody Triangle Bralette

I despise wearing bras—except for the Skims Fits Everybody Triangle bralette, which, thanks to its soft and lightweight material, feels like a second skin. Despite its barely-there feel, the unpadded bra still offers support, and it has adjustable straps. Skims’ entire site is 30 percent off for Black Friday, so don’t miss your chance to try my favorite bra for yourself while it’s on sale. And while you’re at it, pick up a matching pair of underwear for just $13.

Rag & Bone Miramar Wide-Leg Track Pants

As I sit here writing this piece, I’m wearing my Rag & Bone Miramar track pants, and truthfully, it feels like I’ve worn them more times than not in the past few months. I’ve shocked countless people by revealing that these sweatpant jeans are, in fact, not denim, but the brand’s cozy, loungewear-like material. I think they’re worth the full price splurge, but to make matters even better, Rag & Bone marked down the jeans, which were also featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things List for 2025, down to $149 ahead of Black Friday.

Cyklar Nutrient Rich Body Cream

As a shopping writer, I’m constantly testing out new products, so it’s not often that I’m loyal to a specific item, but the Cyklar Nutrient Rich Body Cream has been a staple in my beauty routine ever since it was released. Not only does it have an incredibly luxe smell, but it’s one of the only body creams I’ve tried that immediately sinks into my skin upon application. I also use the brand’s perfume roll-on oil in the same scent, which is also on sale right now.  

Franco Sarto Senna Lug Sole Loafer

Katie Holmes and I have something in common—we both love Franco Sarto shoes. The celebrity most recently influenced me to pick up the Senna Lug Sole Loafers after I saw a picture of her strolling the streets of NYC in them, and they have become one of my most-worn shoes this fall. They’re incredibly comfortable out of the box, and the tortoise pattern is a fun alternative to my typical black loafers. 

Ugg Discoquette Slide Slippers

The Ugg Discoquette Slide Slippers are hands down my favorite slippers of all time. They’re lined with a plush shearling-like fabric that’s so cozy to slip into with my favorite loungewear set. Plus, I love the subtle platform heel, which gives them an elevated look (no pun intended). This style rarely goes on sale, but Nordstrom has the slippers for 31 percent off for Black Friday.

Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick

One thing about me: I love a lip product—lip gloss, lipstick, lip liner, you name it. My night-out bag is never without at least three or four options, but the Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick has been one of my most-used lip products this year. It leaves my lips with a glassy, plump finish, but the best part is that it’s also a hydrating balm, packed with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which is crucial for me in the winter. Have you tried doing a lip look with chapped lips? It’s impossible.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

Okay, you might not consider this a “fashion find” at first glance, but the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which hook onto each ear, are chic enough to be mistaken for jewelry—trust me, it’s happened. In addition to looking great, the wireless earbuds deliver immersive sound and offer up to 7.5 hours of playtime. They’re currently on rare sale as part of Amazon’s early Black Friday deals, so don’t miss your chance to try out the techy fashion statement while it’s on sale.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Tonal Contrast Robe

I’m a big post-shower bathrobe girl, but I’ve never been one to cozy up in a robe while I’m lounging. That was, until I tried Barefoot Dream’s CozyChic knit robe. I’ve been a fan of Barefoot Dream’s blankets for a long time, but my mom, who loves her robe from the brand, convinced me to give the cozy piece a try. The lightweight material makes it perfect for layering over pajamas without feeling overly bulky, and the contrasting colors give the robe a unique touch.

J.Crew Cable-knit Crewneck Sweater

J.Crew’s rollneck sweater is everywhere this fall, but my knit of choice is the brand’s Cable-knit Crewneck. The slightly oversized sweater features chunky braided detailing that evokes Cameron Diaz in The Holiday vibes. I love cozying up in it with a pair of lounge pants or layering it with a turtleneck and a pair of cigarette pants for a polished, cold-weather outfit.

Spanx Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings

If there’s one thing you buy this Black Friday, make it Spanx’s Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings, trust me. The lifting and sculpting bottoms are made with a compression fabric that instantly smooths my stomach area without feeling constricting. Plus, the 7/8 length is perfect for petite shoppers like myself and falls just above the ankles. 

IGK Disco Disco Clear Gloss Finishing Hair Spray

I can’t believe I’ve just recently discovered the magic of a finishing spray, and now I can’t imagine doing my hair without one. My product of choice is IGK’s Disco Disco Clear Gloss Finishing Hair Spray, which gives hair a high-gloss finish while protecting it from UV damage. I use it on days when I don’t need the rigid hold of hairspray but still want a shiny, protective finish post-blow-dry.

The Outset Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm

When winter rolls around, my lips turn into a dry, chapped mess, and I’ve found that the only solution is The Outset’s Botanical Barrier Rescue Balm. It’s made from a blend of ultra-hydrating ingredients, such as meadowfoam estolid, rose hip oil, and marula oil, that melt into my skin without feeling greasy. I use the multipurpose moisturizer for my lips, hands, and elbows, and the tin packaging is perfect for throwing in my bag when I’m on the go.
