@Reply #1 - good point! Alice is right about the newsletter being the best move. Based on the data from previous holiday cycles, they tend to drop the biggest sitewide tiers - usually hitting that 20 percent to 30 percent mark - roughly 48 hours before the actual Friday. I am pretty satisfied with their inventory management system too; rarely see out of stock errors on the popular shades during the first wave. No complaints on the technical side of their checkout process, it just works well. TL;DR: Expect 20-30 percent off; site reliability is high.

Thrive usually does a sale, but honestly, Ive been pretty disappointed with their holiday promos lately. Last year I sat on my cart for ages waiting for the big Black Friday drop, and then the discount was tied to how much you spent. Like, you had to spend over a hundred bucks to get the good savings. For someone like me who just wanted to restock a couple things, the discount barely covered the shipping and tax. It felt less like a sale and more like a push to buy stuff I didnt need. Tbh its kind of a bummer when you're trying to be budget-conscious. Before you commit to waiting, are you planning on just getting the CC cream by itself or were you looking to do a big overhaul of your makeup bag? Also, what kind of finish are you actually hoping for? Depending on what youre after, the savings might not even be worth the hassle of the holiday rush...

You absolutely need to check out their bundles if you want the best bang for your buck! Waiting for the big holiday rush can be such a headache with shipping delays and stuff. I love the Thrive Causemetics Buildable Blur CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 and honestly, it is so much more reliable to just grab the Thrive Causemetics Complexion Perfection Set whenever you need it. You get a huge discount by bundling the CC cream with their concealer or a brush, and it usually ends up being a better deal than some of the tiered sales anyway. Plus, if youre a first-time customer, they almost always have a 15 percent off code pop up immediately. Its way less stressful than fighting for stock on Black Friday! Seriously, the formula is amazing and stays put all day, so definitely dont wait if youre running low.

I've been keeping an eye out for their announcements. In the past, Thrive has not only offered discounts but also included a free gift with purchases over a certain amount. I recommend signing up for their newsletter to get the latest updates on their Black Friday deals.
