Hey there! I totally get the Black Friday planning itch – I'm already thinking about next year's tire upgrade myself! Instead of Sephora (which, yeah, can be hit or miss), have you ever checked out the sales on skincare directly from the brand websites?

Last year, around late November, I scored some Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus tires (245/40ZR19 98Y XL - that's the size for my ride, a '17 Acura TLX) directly from Pirelli's site for about $800 after a 20% Black Friday discount. I was initially looking at Tire Rack, but Pirelli's direct deal beat it! A similar approach might work for your Glow Recipe and Drunk Elephant. I remember seeing Drunk Elephant with a pretty solid discount (around 25% off) on their own website. Might be worth signing up for their email lists now so you're ready for 2025. Good luck!

Hey! I get wanting to plan ahead. While Sephora might have *some* deals, their Black Friday savings aren't always the deepest on specific high-end stuff like the Glow Recipe or Drunk Elephant. Honestly, have you considered checking out Dermstore or even the brand's websites directly?

I've found Dermstore often has better percentages off, especially if you stack coupons. Plus, they usually have a wider selection of gift sets that can bring the cost-per-ounce down significantly. For example, last year during Black Friday, I snagged a Drunk Elephant set with the Protini *and* a few other goodies for about $120, which worked out cheaper than buying just the Protini cream alone at Sephora. Keep an eye on their early bird deals too; they sometimes sneak peek the good stuff! Worth a shot before relying solely on Sephora, especially with that budget. Hope this helps!

Hey! I totally get the Black Friday hype, but for those specific skincare items, Sephora can be tricky. Instead of banking *everything* on one day, might want to consider keeping an eye on sites like Skinstore or even direct from Glow Recipe's website. They often have flash sales throughout the year.

For example, last spring, Glow Recipe had a 20% off sitewide sale, which would've knocked those Dew Drops down to around $27. Check those sites regularly - you might snag a better deal *before* Black Friday, and spread out your purchases within your $200-$300 budget! Let me know if you want me to keep an eye out too!

Hey! I get the Black Friday skincare hunt, but let's talk about something *really* important for 2025 – car safety. While scoring deals is great, make sure your ride is ready for winter! Instead of *only* focusing on skincare, consider checking your tire tread. Speaking from experience, I unfortunately had issues with a cheap set of tires last year; hydroplaned right into a curb. Not fun! Now I always recommend budgeting for good tires. I found Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s on sale around Thanksgiving for about $120 each. Not as good as a freebie, but a whole lot better than an accident. If you have any questions on tire sizing or winter driving tips, just ask!

Hey! Totally get the Sephora Black Friday strategy. Everyone else is right, it's hit or miss. But instead of just focusing on Sephora, have you looked at Ulta? They *also* carry Glow Recipe and Drunk Elephant, and their Black Friday deals sometimes rotate brands Sephora doesn't heavily discount.

What I would suggest is signing up for both Sephora and Ulta's email lists. That way, you'll get early access alerts. Also, compare prices year-round. Sometimes, you can find random sales or discounts that beat Black Friday, especially around holidays like Labor Day or Memorial Day. For example, last year, Ulta had 25% off Drunk Elephant for a weekend in July. Keep an eye out for those!

Good luck with your skincare haul!
