It's a game, isn't it? Trying to snag those super-duper deals before they're gone? The pressure, though!
Here's some of what's available online already... more to come tomorrow and over the weekend, of course. Sephora is first because wow you have to be on your shopping toes for them. Everything else is in alphabetical order.

Shop fast, my friends, shop fast. I've already missed one VIB Rouge advanced Black Friday Sephora deal that sold out while the darned thing was in. my. cart. It'll be back on sale again tomorrow, though...
Still available is this great Dr. Jart Masking All the Way set for $46 CAD (it's a $66 CAD value), and a whack of other deals starting at $13 CAD.

Charlotte Tilbury doesn't do giveaways and rarely discounts, so this take advantage of what's on for Black Friday weekend! Today's deal is buy-one-get-one-free on the Nocturnal Cat Eyes to Hypnotize eyeshadow and crayon duos, and they're gorgeous. You'll get two sets for $48 CAD, and the second doesn't have to be the same shade as the first.
If you're a Tilbury fan, check again tomorrow and each day until Monday to see what's next.

If you've got teens and 20- and 30-somethings to buy for, Tarte is a guaranteed win, and they've already started their Black Friday 25% off sale with the code FRIYAY. The Swamp Queen Eye & Cheek Palette (above) is now $40.50 CAD down from $54 CAD... and I don't have to buy it after all because my niece got her mum to buy it for her at full price a couple of months back. *grin*

Ulta so often makes me wish I lived in the US. Among other great savings, get $10 off my favourite (and my sister's) Bliss Body Butter? Yes, please x 3. I can't look at the rest of their Thanksgiving sale; you have until 3pm. As for Ulta's Black Friday Deals, my very opinionated wallet is super relieved I live in Canada.
