Cyber Monday has returned for another year and we've got our bank card ready to do some serious shopping. One destination that's top of our list is Cult Beauty, which unveils a seriously special series of discounts year on year.
The retailer is offering up to 25% off some of the biggest names in beauty heavily discounted: We're talking Summer Fridays, Medik8, Augustinus Bader, Kosas, Hourglass and more. This is officially your last chance to snap up on everything from your everyday foundation to that fancy highlighter you've been eyeing up for weeks.
The real appeal of the Cult Beauty Cyber Monday sale is that its discounts apply almost entirely site-wide, meaning you can side-step the dodgy neon eyeshadow palettes and head straight to the products you know you'll use day after day (or night after night, in the case of this clarifying BHA toner that should really be top of your list when discounts drop).
Not sure where to start? We've got you covered. When faced with such big discounts on so many covetable brands, it’s all too easy to lose your cool, panic, and emerge with 10 different lipsticks – and you don't need us to tell you that this is good for neither your bank balance nor that carefully Kondo'd dressing table.
So, we’re here to help you cut through the options and emerge victorious with some perfect purchases. It's quality over quantity, remember.
