I’m so glad Canada is catching on to the Black Friday deals trend as it makes Christmas gift shopping so much more affordable! Boxing Day is great but getting your holiday shopping done early AND saving some money makes Black Friday a perfect day to go shopping!
I love to build wishlists before the big day comes. That way, I don’t impulsively buy things I don’t need. At the same time, I won’t have to spend precious time browsing. Instead, I can just check out if something I had on my wishlist is on sale! Today I’ll share with you some beauty and fashion retailers that will be having Black Friday deals!
The retailers are shown alphabetically with beauty first and then fashion. Happy Shopping!

Caudalie is well known for their use of grapes in their skincare products! I tested out a few products earlier this year. The face mist will be amazing during the winter time to add some hydration to the face. They also have amazing holiday sets that’s ready to gift for friends or yourself.

There are so many products I love from It Cosmetics! If you like a light-medium coverage foundation, you have to check out the IT Cosmetics CC Cream (see review). I also really love their Superhero eyeliner and mascara (see review), both great for Asian eyes! For skincare, I like their Confidence in series as well as Bye Bye Redness!

We all know how rare it is for Lancome products to go on sale! Make sure you browse my Lancome reviews to see my thoughts. My favorites are the Dual Finish Highlighter (read review) and Skin Feels Good foundation (read review)! This is also a good time to stock up on some of their cult favorite skincare items like the Advanced Genifique Serum. If you like limited edition products, don’t miss their holiday collection or the fall collection collab with Proenza Schouler!

Sephora recently had their 20% off sales for VIB and VIB Rouge members. From November 16-19, Beauty Insiders will have 15% off! Then on Black Friday, they always release various gift sets usually around $15-$30. You can check out what I picked up in recent years or download their app to see the details!

The Face Shop

When: November 22- November 26, 2018
The Deal: 50% off the original price on sale items; 20% off on regular price items; select Black Friday items at 50% off
I used to always shop for my shoes on Aldo and especially when they’re on sale! Here are a few of my favorites for this fall and winter! For a statement making boot, the Aurella boot is in a snake skin print! I find pointy toe boots look dressy even when there’s a low heel, so check out Cadaundra for a simple black boot.
Aritzia
Where to shop: In store and Online
When: Started November 19, 2018
The Deal: 30-60% off on fall fashion
This one is just my guess but based off the last few years, Aritzia will usually start having a sale 5 days before black friday! I actually always find great pieces at 50% off during this sale and it’s the perfect timing to stock up on fall and winter clothes. Last year I bought a black turtle neck for $19.99, and this sleeveless dress for $59.99. Check out what I found before and if you’re curious about what I get from their Warehouse Sales.
Ever New 
Where to shop: In store and online
When: November 23 – November 25, 2018
The Deal: 25% off everything
I bought my university graduation dress from Ever New and it’ll always be special to me! If you’ve been eyeing a dress for the holiday parties, this is your chance! I really love this Carmella midi dress and this Mimi Bardot dress.
Frank And Oak
Where to shop: In store and Online
When: November 21- November 25, 2018
The Deal: Use BLACKFRIDAY30 for 30% off select merchandise
When: November 26, 2018
The Deal: Use CYBERMONDAY30 for 30% off additional items
I have never shopped at Frank And Oak before but I always see it on Instagram! They have some fantastic minimalistic and trendy pieces and it’s perfect if you love having a curated wardrobe. They are well known for their monthly clothing subscription program. But you can also buy pieces separately like this trendy zip sweater and a machine washable wool sweater!
H&M
Where to Shop: In store and online
When: November 23, 2018
The Deal: This is my guess as well but they’ll usually have a number of pieces at 50% off! They usually have gift cards for the first 100 customers as well in store. I scored this biker jacket last year for $64.50 (50% down from $129!)
Hudson’s Bay
Where to shop: In store and Online
When: November 23, 2018
The Deal: First 200 customers in each store on Black Friday get a $20 savings card; free shipping with no minimum order ; 10% off Casper mattresses
When: November 26, 2018
The Deal: $25 off $175+ purchase use code CYBER, free shipping with no minimum order
In recent years, I have started shopping at the Bay again! They really improved on the store aesthetics and the brands and styles they purchase! I also always find fantastic deals on their site. Last year, their online system was very slow on Black Friday. I would recommend to make a wishlist ahead of time so you can just check out when the deals are here!
Le Chateau
Where to shop: In store and Online
When: November 23, 2018
The Deal: Up to 50% off dresses, coats, footwear and more
I used to shop at Le Chateau a lot and I remember this faux leather jacket that lasted me for years! I don’t have a Le Chateau near me anymore but luckily you can now shop online! They do amazing holiday party dresses and winter jackets!
Saks Off 5th
Where: In stores
When: Now until November 26, 2018
The Deal: 40% off in a lot of different categories; 15% off all handbags; 15% off premium denim
Now that Saks is owned by Hudson’s Bay, it’s a lot easier to shop in Canada! Saks Off 5th is all about luck as the inventory is different at every location. They have great deals year round but these additional discounts for Black Friday will seal the deal! For example, Stuart Weitzman boots are on sale!
SSENSE
Where: Online
When: Started morning of November 19, 2018
The Deal: Up to 50% off on designer clothing, shoes, and accessories!
There’s not a lot of options for Canadians when it comes to designer brands. SSENSE is my favorite to see emerging designers and the ultra luxurious ones. In past years, I’ve seen popular designs like the YSL bags, Chloe Lauren flats, Burberry scarfs all go on sale for about 30% off. There will also be a handful of designers and products that will be 50% off so get your wishlist ready!
I hope you enjoyed this round up of Black Friday deals! Let me know what you plan to buy! Also, there are affiliate links but it does not cost you anything extra. So I hope you will support me 🙂
