Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be American shopping holidays but with international shipping becoming more widely available (and, more importantly, affordable), there isn’t any reason why we in Singapore can’t reap the benefits too!
Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday (24 and 27 November respectively) come fast on the heels of 11/11, local retailers are still taking up every opportunity to bring you better deals and offers, so everyone’s a winner here! Here are a few of the beauty promotions that you need to add to your calendar:
1. K-Palette
We love K-Palette not just because they are great quality drugstore products, but also because of its super affordable price point. We aren’t complaining if they’re becoming even more affordable for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
What’s the deal? BeautyCarousel is offering a 20% storewide discount on brands like K-Palette, BeautyBlender, Klara, and Aprilskin for Black Friday!
If you somehow missed Black Friday, or are able to wait a little longer for better things to come, BeautyCarousel will be upping their discounts to a whopping 50% off storewide for Cyber Monday.
Black Friday promotion period: 22 to 24 November
Cyber Monday promotion period: 26 to 28 November

2. INGA Cosmetics
This homegrown cosmetics brand was launched in December 2016 to great fanfare. They carry a range of ten matte lipsticks which have been specially designed to bring out Asian skintones, and with excellent longevity to withstand the local heat and humidity.
What’s the deal? For Black Friday, INGA Cosmetics is offering you a 25% discount on all lipsticks! This applies for any number of lippies you’d like, so we can’t think of a better time to try them out if you’re new to the brand.
Do you have a serious case of lipstick addiction? You could buy all 10 lipsticks for just SGD200 (each is worth SGD29). Ahem, we’re not trying to tempt you here.
Promotion period: 24 to 27 November

3. Astalift
Astalift was already famous before, but its reputation soared from strength to strength when it became more publicly known that camera technology giant Fujifilm was behind its creation. Backed by photogenic technology (of course), the brand continues to produce products known for its brightening properties.
What’s the deal? Get 25% off storewide when you purchase any two regular-priced items! If you purchase their latest star product, the Astalift In-Focus Serum, you will also get a complimentary box of Astalift White Shield Drink (worth SGD60 for 10 bottles of 50ml)!
Promotion is valid online and in Astalift stores.
