Nobody uses a hair dryer and round brush at home these days; that’s too many admins. The Double Shot drying brush dries, smoothes and styles, leaving you with a salon-quality blowout without the hard work of biceps or chatting with a stylist. VIRED reviewer Adrienne So says she prefers the Double Shot over the original Revlon dryer brush. It’s a splurge, which is why the only sensible time to grab it would be when it’s on sale.
We’ve tested (and approved) other GHDs hair tools ago, and with a 30 percent discount, this might be the day to invest in good hair. The GHD Platinum+ is a smart iron that doesn’t actually fry your hair. Set to an optimal temperature of 365 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s gentle enough for fine hair, yet powerful enough to tame even the wildest curls.
This is it the Dyson Airwrap ass—and I mean that in the best possible way. The Shark FlexStyle packs six tools in one: two automatic curlers, an oval brush, a paddle brush, a diffuser and a concentrator. Whether you’re aiming for mermaid waves or a blowout, it provides versatility for all hair types and textures. At $223, it’s still an investment, but it’s far easier to justify than Dyson’s staggering $600 price tag.
The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, VIRED recommends) is a Birkin of hair tools: luxurious, expensive, and everyone and their mother wants it. It’s usually $600, but this Black Friday deal drops it to $500, which makes the dream seem a little more attainable (she hopes, she says). Plus, with six accessories — two long tubes, two straightening brushes, a volumizing brush and a 2-in-1 Coanda blow dryer — it’s like having your own glam team in a box.
As shown in our guide to The best hair straightenersthis unique four-plate straightener wowed our tester with its ability to make two passes in one, as well as its 10 different heat settings. The design makes it really difficult to add curls or waves, but for those who only need a flat iron and nothing else, this is a fantastic steal at more than 50 percent off. —Kath Merk
I’ve been using curling irons forever. And that’s because I can’t figure out the mechanics of a standard curling iron – no matter how many YouTube tutorials I watch. But thanks to the Beachwaver Rotary Curling Iron, I can achieve corkscrew curls whenever I want. All you have to do is clamp your hair, press a button and it automatically wraps your hair around the wand. It takes a few tries to fully grasp it, but after a while it’s super easy. — Brenda Stolyar
We are big fans Olaplek on VIRED and this shampoo is no exception. It’s cruelty-free, vegan, and formulated without sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. For $21 this Black Friday, it’s the perfect excuse to pick up a bottle or two for yourself and a friend.
Revlon heard our cries and said: Volumizer Plus 2.0 fixed most of the problems I had with my earlier model. It’s smaller, faster, and no longer feels like it was designed for someone with three hands. The new medium setting is Goldilocks temperature—not too hot, not too weak, just voluminous blowout perfection in less than 15 minutes. The detachable brush also makes for hassle-free portability. At $32, it costs less than my caffeine addiction, let alone one visit to Dribar.
Certified by Quiet Mark, an independent organization that assesses the noise pollution of household products, this hairdryer comes highly recommended by former VIRED contributor Victoria Woolaston-Weber. It also comes with a concentrator and a diffuser. Former VIRED reviewer Medea Giordano tested it for our guide to The best hair dryer and was also impressed with how quiet it was – see for yourself while it’s half price for Black Friday. —Kath Merk
Offers for face and body
There’s a reason Too Faced named this mascara Better than sexand that’s because the confidence it brings transcends any situation. Better Than Sek delivers lush, fluffy and bold lashes that last all day (and night) without smudging or flaking. If you’ve been looking for a mascara that lives up to its name, this one delivers drama in the best way—and it lasts a lot longer.
This foundation is great for concealing redness and dark circles, while leaving a flat base for applying the rest of your makeup. It feels a little heavy at first, but it blends in nicely (we recommend using a standard makeup sponge for the best application). It also comes in a good range of shades, unlike other popular foundations. However, we don’t recommend it if your skin type is on the dry side – we’ve noticed that it sticks to dry areas. — Brenda Stolyar
Nothing beats a whitening treatment at the dentist, but these pearl strips are second to none. Crest 3D Whitestrips are necessary before big interviews, meetings or photo shoots. Like Photoshop for your teeth, they’re great to wear for impromptu repairs. You never know when you’ll need a megawatt smile.
If you haven’t heard of snail mucin however, I need to know what rock you live under. But seriously, this snail syrup isn’t just a TikTok trend—it’s packed with real benefits. To name just a few dermatological ones: it hydrates, smoothes fine lines and soothes inflammation. at $13, this K-beauty bestseller practically begging you to jump on the snail train. Consider this your cosmic cue to embrace slime.
Thirty dollars is a small price to pay for pearly white. The Sonicare 4100 it strips away unnecessary frills, focusing instead on quality features like a pressure sensor, a two-minute timer, and a long-lasting battery (about two weeks on a single charge). It’s gentler than an oscillating toothbrush, and it is our favorite sound.
Micellar water removes makeup, cleanses impurities and refreshes the face — all without a single rinse. It’s perfect for lazy days or when you need to freshen up after a long flight or exercise. When I’m at home, I like to follow Bioderma with a rinse aid. (I used COSRKS Advanced Snail Mucin Cleansing Geland it also happens to be on sale.)
PanOkil’s 10% benzoyl peroxide for washing is a permanent resident in my shower. It’s the strongest over-the-counter option, so people with sensitive skin should consult a dermatologist and tread lightly. I don’t dare use it on my face, but I rely on it to keep my back clean after sweaty workouts. Bacne has no chance.
Hydrocolloid patches are my not-so-secret weapon for taming breakouts. They reduce pimples, absorb dirt and prevent you from picking at your skin. Mighty Patch makes clear stickers, so I buy them in bulk to use overnight or when I’m not trying to make a statement with a bright yellow star on my face. Original powerful patches they also do not contain active ingredients, which is ideal for reactive skin.
Starface Hydrocolloid Patches are designed to absorb fluid, so they help even out acne as well as reduce irritation and redness. It is also great for protecting stains from external bacteria. The best part is that star patches are fun to wear. They also come in a cute little refillable compact equipped with a mirror for easy patching on the go. — Brenda Stolyar
With winter around the corner, your lips might start to feel more chapped than usual. This lip mask will definitely help with that. The thick texture melts quickly and sinks right into your dry skin, leaving lips less chapped. It also lasts long enough throughout the day that you won’t need to keep reapplying the product – so the jar, although small, should last you a while. — Brenda Stolyar
The Beard Hedger gets its status as MVP passengersthanks to its USB-C charging — a feature so obvious, I’m surprised more brands haven’t caught on. The stainless steel tines and high-revving motor handle stubble and shorter beards with ease. It’s not the prettiest, but it’s waterproof.
