I'm the first to admit that I'm not calm, cool, and collected when it comes to Black Friday. As a beauty editor, I know it's literally *the* best sale of the year, and I can't sleep at night if I think I'm missing out on the best beauty and fashion deals. Call it FOMO or call it being prepared, but I scour the internet to bookmark the best items ahead of time (and shop the odd early Black Friday sale too). Whether it's skincare, makeup, haircare, fragrance, or anything else, I create a personal wish list so that I won't miss out on a single shopping opportunity.

This year, I started extra early because I have a seemingly endless number of people to buy gifts for during the upcoming holiday season. Luckily, I'm anticipating some pretty stellar discounts. Ahead, check out all of the can't-miss beauty items I'm bookmarking ahead of Black Friday 2024.
