Hi, kirby.
B
Hi, sarah.
C
Welcome to los angeles.
B
Happy Thanksgiving week. This will be our one episode this week. We're taking Friday off while so many companies are working Black Friday.
C
I do not miss those days.
B
So I went to Macy's and I was buying an outfit, which, by the way, Macy's has so many cute pieces of clothing right now.
C
Oh, my gosh. And I there. They carry so many brands that I didn't even know they did.
B
Right. Yeah, I know. So I was going crazy. I was just like, try everything on. And then I was like, oh, gosh. Okay. Like, I have to, you know. Yeah. Be selective. Par this back. But I was asking if Good American was gonna be on sale because I tried on this pair of jeans from their Dolly Parton collection, and I was like, these are so cute. But, like, you know, I love Sparkle jeans.
C
Yes.
B
And they're always so expensive because of the time and the materials. So I was like, I'm gonna wait to see if they go on sale. And the woman helping me out was like, we will, but, like, we open at like 6am it's like a door buster. Yeah. And I was like, is it not online? Yeah. Is there not, like, a door buster online that I can, you know, sign up and do it from the comfort of my bed versus having to, like, physically go to a Macy's location? So my Macy's is the Westfield Century City.
C
Okay. Is there not one at Beverly center anymore?
B
There is, but it's not as good.
C
Okay.
B
I honestly. And it's not that it's not as good. It's just the Beverly Center.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Have you seen the videos on TikTok that people are like, this. This Beverly Hills mall? I'm like, babe, first of all, that's not Beverly Hills. That's Beverly Grove. The. The Beverly center mall is Beverly Grove.
C
How sad that it's dead.
B
Yeah. It's just nobody's there. But they have all these designers, like the. There's a Louis Vuitton store there. They have a Wolford store there. They have an Apple store there. And then they have a Macy's and a Bloomingdale's. They have a Zara and an H and M. Yeah, I mean, like, it used to be popping. They have a Sephora there.
C
Yeah.
B
But, like, there are a lot of clothes stores. Anyways, I digress. But. So I prefer to go to Century City anyways, because I love that mall.
C
Me too.
B
It used to be the Grove, but now I'm closer to Century City.
C
Century City has everything you could possibly, possibly need.
B
And that Macy's is like three stories.
C
Yeah, no, that's like one of their premier. Macy's, like, they dedicate a lot. It's. It's like an equivalent to one in New York.
B
Yes. It's so, so nice. Yeah, but. But, yeah, I was like, I'm not gonna be getting in my car on Black Friday and driving to Century City for a door buster on the Dolly Parton. Sparkle jeans.
C
Maybe you could snag it online. I also saw Sam Edelman had really cute sparkly jeans. And I thought of you. I think they actually had little rib. Like bows. Like sparkly bows. They were super cute.
B
Oh, cute.
C
So many cute clothes. I was actually very impressed. And then so many shoes. I just bought a pair of boots.
B
Did you know that Steve Madden makes really cute clothes?
C
Yes. Because I was at Macy's and saw.
B
That I bought a jacket. I bought a jacket and, Sarah, it was so cute. I. I just wanted to try it on to see. Yeah. What it would look like. And I thought it was just a generic denim. Black denim jacket with sparkles on it.
C
Yeah.
B
Rhinestones, specifically. It was tailored in a way that gave you a waist.
C
Yeah. Snatch.
B
Which is so cute, Steve. But then I couldn't find the matching pants for it.
C
You. You should have gotten the.
B
So then I was. I did get the jacket, but then I'm like, okay, now I have to go online.
C
Yeah.
B
Anyways, I. I have been. My eyes have been opened to Macy's. Honestly, I. I truly probably had not shopped at Macy's in literal years.
C
Yeah.
B
And now I'm like, did you open.
C
Up a credit card? No.
B
No, literally. I was like, do I open up a credit card in these economic times?
C
When I bought my boots, there were so many people opening credit cards.
B
I mean, it is that time of year, Right. Be smart about your credit cards, people. But I was like, this is bonkers. And then I was going through. And I'm thinking to myself, okay, if I ever need a nice dress for something, oh, my God, where to go? Totally.
C
I mean, I was.
B
So many cute dresses.
C
Yes. I was just complaining to Kirby. I know. Champagne problems. We have so many events to go to, and it's so hard to figure out what to wear. But because I have now been shopping at Macy's, I. I literally was like, oh, my God, Great. I was gonna come here.
B
You brought up something I just don't think about. And I was like, well, that's why I usually do rent the Runway.
C
Yeah.
B
And do my own hair and makeup. And you were like, good thing. You're good at those things. And also, you're taller than me. And I'm like, I'm not that much taller. But I guess you probably do have issues being, what, you're five two.
C
I'm five two. And then I like, look at the reviews, and it's, like, so long on this woman who is 5 8. And I'm like, I would be swimming. And you can't tailor anything, obviously.
B
That's so true. But if you have a stitchy, you.
C
I could, but it just. I don't know. Is that allowed?
B
Yes.
C
Okay.
B
You just cut it and it's done.
C
Yeah.
B
Stitchy has changed my life.
C
No, I need a stitch.
B
Or whatever it's called the tucky. I don't know.
C
That was the first invention from that. This woman, because I. I dove deep on Tick tock, but they're okay.
B
The thing that confuses me is there's two guns, and they have two different names, but they're the same company.
C
Okay. I thought that the tuck. Tuck it.
B
What is that? Well, there's tuck it, but there's tucky.
C
Okay. Okay. So I don't know.
B
So, like, is it stitchy or tucky?
C
This. The tucky was like, if you have an oversized sweatshirt and you want to make it cropped, you, like, put the waistband and you tucked it in.
B
We are way too chronically online.
C
I know. Anyways, I need the stitchy for sure.
B
You read the stitchy because the stitchy has tr. It has come in handy for me.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
And it was, like, 39. And I got it on Amazon, but they're all over Tick Tock Shop.
C
Like, are they a Black Friday sale? We need to include it in our list.
B
No, literally. Okay. So if you were not reading what this episode was before you started listening or watching it. It's our annual Black Friday Cyber Monday deals episode. Did we do this last year? I feel like one year we were just like, it's. It's too much.
C
Like, maybe we didn't do it last year because we were overwhelmed, but I feel like we, we always at least.
B
Mention we used to do it and then provide a dock. Yeah. Which at any given point you could see hundreds of people just clicking stuff in this doc. And I feel like that's now online safety hazard to share a doc with that many people. So we won't be doing that again. Yeah.
C
Plus it's like go visit our favorite media websites. They're doing. They're doing the Lord's work.
B
Yeah. They need. They know what's going on. Or our substack.
C
Yeah. Yes.
B
Okay. But that's where we should. Before we get into that, Sarah, I wanted to talk about this piece of research that just came out. So this is a global beauty report and it says Botox still tops the world's most search aesthetic treatments. Okay. So this is from a company, it's a booking platform called fresha. And they compared search trends across the uk, us, UAE and Australia to see how beauty priorities shift by region. And they said that they analyzed Google search data as well as ARIFs, Glimpse and Google Trends.
C
Okay.
B
And that the monthly averages were then recorded from January to September of 2025 and then compared year over year to 2024 data.
C
Okay.
B
Which is like, you know, music to my ears because I'm always like, how do these people come up with some of these things? Like it seemingly comes out of nowhere. But I. This is the major takeaways were really interesting to me. So it says in the UK Botox continues to dominate, but polynucleotides and lemon bottle fat dissolving are surging in popularity as Brits seek natural looking refreshes.
C
What is the lemon bottle that dissolving?
B
I did not have time to look this up, but B, immediately it made me think of the master cleanse.
C
Yeah. Like the lemon and cayenne pepper.
B
Yes. So we definitely need to look into this. But I was like, what are you still doing that? I mean, have you heard of Ozempic? But polynucleotides were a theme throughout every region.
C
Okay.
B
It says in the US America remains the aesthetic capital, with Botox, hair transplants and IV drips leading search growth thanks to the rise of wellness culture and quote, unquote, biohacking clinics. Obviously, the US leads in a variety of different ways in terms of aesthetic longevity and biohacking have been terms we've seen so many times over the past two years. But what I found interesting is that the search is high for hair transplants here in the US But I feel like they're probably going to the UAE to get the hair transplants yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
C
Totally. Yeah.
B
Like, that's where they're. They're probably searching it, but they're probably not getting it delivered here. They're probably going because medical tourism overseas is booming.
C
Oh, my gosh.
B
I see videos all the time of not just people going to get, obviously Turkish hairlines, like, going to get hair transplants. But. But then I also see, like, I mean, Korea. Korea. But then I also see women going to Dubai and places like Korea to get, like, full body scans, like health checkups.
C
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, I have so many good friends who are Korean who go on their, like, yearly trip to Seoul and they get all of that done in Korea because it's like, so much more affordable even if you don't have health care. And then if it's like, yeah, like, you just learn so much about yourself, like, aside from, you know, all of the injections, nose job, whatever it is that you want to get treatments. Yeah, it's like, they're like, wow, they're.
B
Getting full body scans. I know Pre Nouveau is becoming popular here in the US but it's so expensive. And also, honestly, I get claustrophobic. Like, I, I freak out when I get.
C
Yeah, I mean, we could go. Like, there's another whole conversation about that where it's like, do you really even want to know that much about yourself? But. Well, that could be another episode. But I do think I have heard so many people doing that, and it's crazy. And so many friends too, who have now want. Who are now wanting to start their own agencies to just specifically help with, like, medical tourism. Medical tourism?
B
Yeah. I mean, I feel like it's a lucrative market. It says they were going through all of the different searches by, you know, different region Botox. Monthly searches in the UK, 1.5 million. In the US, 3 million. In the UAE, 35,000. And in Australia, 337,000. Wow.
C
Do you think people are searching Botox but also are looking for just any. Like, that's like the catch all term.
B
No, it's not.
C
No, it's specifically Botox.
B
It's specifically Botox and yes and no. The specific search term is Botox, but I think people use Botox when they mean neuromodulators.
C
Yes, that's what I mean. Yeah.
B
Yes. I think the intention is neuromodulator, but Botox is like Q tip. Now, like, you could ask someone, hey, do you get Botox? And they're like, yeah, I get. You vote.
C
Yeah, right.
B
You know what? I mean so totally, because also on here, Zeomin is one of the searches. It's one of the top ones. Joe Jonas still extremely low on the totem pole. Like it's like one of the last in terms of like the highest search results. But it's, I mean I don't see any other neuromodulators on this list in terms of high search results, which is really interesting to me. Okay, so then uae, it says Dubai's aesthetics market leads innovation. Searches for thread lifts and polynucleotide injections rose by more than 160% this year, reflecting demand for minimal downtime results. And then in Australia, it says search interest in preventative treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers remain strong. But wellness based procedures such as IV drips and hyperbaric therapy are catching up fast, which I thought was super interesting. Like in my opinion, I do think people want a look good, quick fix. There's not a ton of surgery in this specific. But then again, I mean they did say aesthetic treatments, so I would, so.
C
That'S like probably a catch all term for like maybe plastic surgery.
B
And yeah, I would actually would love to ask them if they included plastic surgery in this because is hair transplant considered plastic surgery? That's a, that's a question for I guess the experts out there. Polynucleotide injections though, that's your pdrn.
C
Yes.
B
That's something where it's like DNA fragments usually derived from fish are being injected to the skin. And I think that's why we're obviously seeing such a spike in PDRN creams and stuff like that. But in my humble opinion, I don't think those work even remotely.
C
No.
B
As well as getting the injections all over your face.
C
Exactly.
B
I don't know if I would get PDRN injections, to be completely honest, or any type of polyonucleotide just based on watching people's experiences. It looks painful. And I don't know if I necessarily see a massive difference.
C
No, I literally just had this conversation with one of my like friend groups because they were talking about it on CNN and they were like, oh, can't wait to hear you guys talk about this on Los Angeles. And I'm like, no, we've talked about it already and I personally would not get it because it just we had goes back to our conversation with like Jumi on the podcast. Like if you're putting your face through that much trauma, like, is it really worth it? Yeah, to be honest, I've seen some really Great before and afters, but like, it's not that much better.
B
I know. I, I, I honestly feel like the difference is negligible in the people that I know that I have seen. Get it done.
C
Right.
B
Maybe if there could be a case made for, you know, maybe people that have lost a lot of weight, they're losing volume and fat in their face. Yeah, I would be curious about that. But then again, I get microneedling and microneedling is not, I mean, you get numbed for microneedling.
C
Right.
B
So it's not necessarily a pain free experience. Right.
C
But I think too with the pdrn, it's like you are walking around for a day or two with little bumps on your face.
B
Yeah.
C
It just, it, it looks painful. It feels painful. And then again, like, I personally think with like microneedling, I feel like, feel like I, I see a big difference in my skin after. So I don't know. Again, we would have to try it, but I don't, I'm too scared.
B
Same. That reminds me, I need to book a microneedling appointment immediately. Let's do it. I need to go get that done asap. So anyways, I thought that was just really interesting in terms of aesthetics from around the world and like what people are actually searching and, and who is kind of influencing what. All right, let's get down to the deals. Of course, you guys know we're not going to skip over our beloved Macy's, who is a partner with us on this podcast. Thank you, Macy's. They've been having deals.
C
Oh my gosh.
B
Parade of deals. Y' all heard them on the ads. Parade of deals started. Imagine like little Macy's people holding flags, marching around like, deal, deal. But they have a few brands that we wanted to highlight that will have big deals starting Black Friday through Cyber Monday. I know a lot of brands and retailers are doing cyber weeks and things of that nature, so definitely keep a lookout for that glams.
C
You know how much Kirby and I love Tatcha and the founder Vicky Tsai. If you haven't heard our interviews with her, do that after this. On the show, she's shared how Tatcha is all about building tiny rituals that restore joy, which is very much needed in the year that is 2025. The dewy skin cream is that feeling in a jar. It's a luxuriously comforting moisturizer that plumps fine lines and seals in moisture for Tatcha's skin. Signature dewy glow. Fun fact. It is the brand's bestseller. A dewy Skin cream is sold every 30 seconds. In a clinical study, 100% of the panelists showed immediate improvement in plumpness, suppleness, and radiance in just two weeks. It is transformative Japanese skincare that nurtures the skin and the mind. And it's why we love it so, so much. The best part is you can enjoy 15% off your first first purchase at tatcha.com with code GLOSSANGELIS15.
B
I also just want to say I think Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year are going to be way more important to people than maybe they have been in the past due to the rising costs of just the products they normally buy and love. Remember when we were complaining about a 20% discount during some of these sales, which I still stand by. Isn't that great? However, now that's essentially getting rid of tax.
C
Yes.
B
Or a price spike.
C
Everything. Every little discount helps.
B
Yes. And listen, totally your prerogative if you do not want to buy this. Black Friday or Cyber Monday, we totally get it. But there are a lot of people.
C
Who, yeah, this is their only time to stock up on gifts and, you know, treat themselves too.
B
So right today@macy's.com and Macy's in store, you can get 30% off Sunday Riley, which I was like, I have not heard about Sunday Riley in a minute. But I love their products.
C
Good jeans.
B
Good jeans always. That girl will never forgive them for getting rid of title the moisturizer. So absolutely rude of them.
C
What was that about?
B
I don't have probably some kind of like materials issue. But I mean, good jeans, they have this charcoal body scrub that comes in a pouch that I'm absolutely obsessed with as well.
C
Okay.
B
So if you are a Sunday Riley Stan or know someone that is Today only, it's 30 off. Tomorrow Elemis will be 25 off. And there are so many tried and true favorites that Sarah and I love from this brand.
C
If you have gotten a facial at like a hotel spa or like a sort of like chain spa, there's a really good chance that they were using Elements products. I feel like it's always on their back bar. And I feel like there was probably a moment where you were like, what are you using? I love this. It's probably Elements.
B
So they have their dynamic resurfacing facial pads, which are love. Those people are obsessed with them. I myself included. It comes with 60 pads. And honestly, like, I. I will go through that cleansing balm. Yeah, there's. There's so many different options.
C
Creams are always really amazing. Their Pro collagen night cream is really good. I feel like anyone who. It's like a. If you know, you know brand.
B
Yes. Like an old school, like reliable longevity. Yes. I remember I first heard about Elemis when I first got into the industry from Caroline Hirons. See, our trusty old pal Caroline never steers us wrong.
C
She never does.
B
Okay then. From the 28th through December 1st, which is black Friday through Cyber Monday, Clinique will be 30% off. Y' all have received many recommendations from us over this past year from clinic, but lipstick and black honey.
C
Oh my gosh. I really, truly, I go through this like I go through one probably every two months.
B
Moisture surgeon.
C
You know her. You heard it here first.
B
The OG. Well, oh, wait, no. Moisture surge.
C
Isn't moisture the one that we.
B
Oh, you the. This serum.
C
Sorry.
B
Yes, I'm thinking of the cream.
C
Okay. Yes, yes.
B
Okay. I was like, wait, that is conflicting information for the people. But no, the serum is what you heard about here first.
C
Yes, yes.
B
So the cream has been around for like decades at this point. I was like, didn't Ron Robinson get.
C
A phone call from Ron?
B
And then from the 30th through December 2nd, which is actually after Cyber Monday, so they give you an extra day. Heels will be 30% off. Okay. If you are struggling to get a gift for a man in your life, just give him Kills.
C
Heels.
B
Give them Kills. Heels is like a great gift to.
C
Give someone that you don't know that well.
B
Yes.
C
But you still want to impress them or give them something like useful or kind of like, you know, like it's someone that like maybe a brother in.
B
Law or your ex boyfriend Patrick loved Kills. I would always ask heels to stock him up. He freaking loved Keels. He had like all of the little. He had the facial fuel, he had the sunscreen. He had all of the things. The body wash.
C
I'm thinking too like even like teacher gift. I mean that's a really nice teacher gift. Or you know, like a gift for your nail tech or something. Like something. It's like you don't know them too.
B
Well, but you're like keels, treat yourself.
C
Treat yourself.
B
So in terms of the men, they have a grooming regimen gift set that's normally $62, but it will be 30% off. So get in there. And then Mac and benefit will be 25% off. Tarte will be 30% off on cyber Monday only. So get in there and get your gifts. Mac has a bunch of really great gift sets available at Macy's that will be discounted. So they have this 24 piece mystery, must have advent calendar that's normally $245. And it has a bunch of full size and sample size products in there. Advent calendars are just fun. So they're a great gift to give.
C
Mac is 30 off.
B
Oh, did I get it wrong?
C
So it's 35 off, tarte is 25 and benefit is 30.
B
Oh, wow. Okay, that's even better. And then also, if you have a Disney lover in your life, there is an exclusive collection that Mac has at Macy's and it's Daisy and Minnie.
C
I mean, it's so cute.
B
And it's so, so cute. So they have lip glass. They have like a bunch of different products with this really cute print of like Daisy and Minnie and like a little winter, like head scarf and stuff. It's really, really precious. So if you know any Disney adults or there's any small children that you don't mind giving them a lip gloss, put it in their stocking, whatever. I think that's a great gift to give as well.
C
Wait, I want this Mac mystery Advent calendar.
B
I know it's expensive as hell, but. But with the discount, I would be totally fine getting that as a gift.
C
That is like such a good gift. Wow. Okay.
B
All right. So when it comes to discounts, I think it's smart, especially if you're gift giving, right. To look at things like tools, devices, accessories, things that people would not normally buy for themselves on a regular basis. Right. One of my absolute favorite things that I've become obsessed with. Obsessed with. And I was actually gifted this.
C
Me too.
B
Which I think it's huge in New York for obvious reasons. But it's the Hulk and bag. If you're not familiar with what the Hulkin bag is, it is this bag that it doesn't have a top.
C
It's like a giant tote. But it has a zipper. Doesn't yours have a zipper? I think yours has a zipper.
B
You just don't know that it does.
C
Okay.
B
I was like, how is this. How am I supposed to, like, enclose this? Okay, this is now making a lot more sense. But it doesn't have a top. No, I'm like, it doesn't have a top. It's just open. You just shove everything in there.
C
Make sure there's a top.
B
Okay. So it's basically a rolling tote that has handles so you can drag it behind you and you can fill it with a ton of stuff. So when Curbaween was happening, I was putting all of my stuff in there so I didn't have to make a ton of trips to my car. There's a top. Okay, I'm an idiot.
C
No, maybe there's one that doesn't have.
B
Lost the plot on that one.
C
Wait, this one maybe doesn't have a top? No, I think they all do.
B
They're so cute. They're so sturdy. And if you know anybody that is single, I will put out there. If you're. If you know someone that's single and they're constantly have to having to go back and forth to get groceries from their car and take them up to their apartment or their home or wherever. This hulking bag is not only so, so helpful, but really cute. They come in like these different finishes and so I use it all the time. Yeah, I use it all the time. It. It truly has made my life a pleasure because I'm not like how many trips do I have to take to take this stuff back inside and outside and whatever.
C
And it's great because you can fold it up too. So like, if you were like.
B
Didn't know that. Didn't know that my just standing in a corner.
C
You can like put it in your car, for example.
B
No, I fold it up. I'm learning so much about the whole that I already.
C
I have a request though for hulking. Can you make one that you can use on the beach, please, like with like beach wheels? Thank you.
B
Okay. For the. For the LA people. Yeah.
C
Okay.
B
Or for the Montauk people or whoever. Okay. So Hulkin is now sold at Target Huge major. And they will be offering 20 off all Hulk and rolling totes. The black large, black medium, silver medium and rose gold medium in store and online from. It's already started November 23rd through November 29th.
C
Maybe this is the gift that I just give every family member.
B
It would be brilliant. Then you can take 20% off all rolling totes sitewide on Hulken.com from the 23rd through Cyber Monday, December 1st. So if you don't get those Target deals, and those are for very specific totes at Target, just go to holcan.com because it's. It looks. I mean based on what this says, all rolling totes side wide.
C
Yes.
B
Through cyber Monday.
C
Amazing.
B
Okay. Love this. Love this.
C
We had to shout out shark beauty. So if you are looking to purchase the flex style, the shark glam, the mask, the cryoglow, what is their new facial in a device called? I can't even tell. All the things. All the things you can shop on sharkninja.com so 11-26-6, it's up to 45% off, plus daily deals. You can buy any HairStyler and get 20% off skin care products. Then November 28th through 30th, it is an extra 10% off with the code WEEKEND10. And then cyber Week. There's like, so many, like, on Cyber Week. Yeah, I know. It's like you're like, when do I buy? But then you risk things. You risk things getting sold out.
B
Wait, 40% off? Up to 40% off. December 17th through the 31st.
C
No code necessary.
B
Okay. This is actually really smart, though, because so many people get gift cards, which we have learned.
C
Yep.
B
This is why so many brands launch products the day after Christmas, because they have their retailer or brand gift cards and they are looking. They're home, they're not working, and they're looking to spend money.
C
Yep.
B
So that's kind of brilliant. I mean, basically, you should just have a tab open on sharkninja.com.
C
Yes. Because if. If you have been eyeing any. Anything. They're all on sale. Oh, you know what I want, but I don't need is the Shark Flex style. The one that's bedazzled.
B
I have it. Oh, you do?
C
Oh, my God.
B
I have it.
C
I literally. Matt will kick me out of the house if I bring in one more hair tool. But I want this one because right now I'm looking.
B
It's normally $399.99, and right now it's $299.99. So pretty. So it's going strong. I mean, this is kind of 40 off from. Did you already say this? November 23rd through December 6th.
C
No. No, I didn't.
B
Okay.
C
Yeah.
B
November 23rd through December 6th, 40% off. Build your own Shark Flex style air styling and drying system. And then you can get a gift with purchase.
C
Oh, wait. You can get a free. What is this fan? A portable. Oh, a portable blender.
B
Oh, hell yeah.
C
Wow. Okay.
B
Or a misting portable fan in gray. Yes.
C
Okay. Here. If.
B
I always.
C
I always feel bad recommending the cryo Glow the mask because it is quite pricey. I mean, it is, but you should buy one during this time. I mean, it's 350. So, like, compared to other masks, it's, like, reasonably priced. But now it's even. It's 40 off. And then you get a free misting portable fan in dark gray. Okay.
B
Just. Honestly, there's. They literally call these the holiday big bet offers. So they really are going big. They want you to buy.
C
Yep.
B
They said we will remain the number one because as we have learned, they are the number one hair tool. Hair tool. Which is bonkers. And not to rub salt in the womb, but let's go to Dyson.
C
I mean, if you are like, I am a tried and true. This is a Dyson household.
B
Can I just say, Sarah and I maybe will regret saying this, but we do think that the airwrap and the Dyson line of hair tools is potentially better for your hair. Potentially better for your hair.
C
Potentially. Love.
B
Love.
C
Shark Anecdotal.
B
Yes. Like, basically, we can't prove it. We can't prove it.
C
We use both of them all the time.
B
But my hair was very shiny and stick. Stunning. And people would ask me how my hair was so shiny and stunning when I was exclusively using the air wrap. But then once I started using the flex style, I have noticed my hair has kind of gone a little.
C
She's powerful, but I just don't know if she's as.
B
It's a give or take. Because I love how powerful the shark is. The shark is. Because I don't have to bust out my supersonic and then do my air wrap.
C
Yeah.
B
But I do think my air wrap holds the curl more, too. I know, I know, I know. But did I use.
C
Can I also. Can I say what the. The air wrap that you don't have to. You don't have to switch the barrels.
B
They really nailed it with that.
C
I don't know if that's patented. Why Shark didn't do that. Shark also T3. Like, it's. You know, Come on, guys.
B
Listen. Dyson. There is a luxury element to Dyson, and that's where they're staying. But I do think people are like, you know how I was. Like, I don't think I've ever actively, like, bought a dupe, which I haven't actively, but, like, shark. Shark is a dupe.
C
Every other hair.
B
Yeah.
C
Like, all the hair tools. Okay. So Dyson, if you want, they have a new colorway because they're busy in the labs trying to figure out a new technology to blow our minds. But they're releasing new colorways, which, I mean, they're all very pretty. So there's a new colorway, and then you can get up to $150 off on Dyson.com on the Air app, the supersonic neural, which is like the smart one, and then the air straight, which is their straightener.
B
So many different options here. Okay. If you're looking for facial devices, obviously we mentioned the Face mask from Shark. But Dr. Dennis Gross obviously. Love his mask.
C
Love his mask.
B
Sarah and I have talked about why we don't need to get into it, but they have a variety of sales on Sephora, Nordstrom, their own website, and Amazon. So literally, if you are looking for some type of discount on the LED mask from Dr. Dennis Gross. Or is that right? Are we saying that right? Is it a red light mask or LED mask? If you have a FSA or HSA account and you're lucky like that, you can use those dollars to buy things on Dr. Dennis Gross's website.
C
It's led. Okay?
B
Led.
C
Led.
B
So if you have leftover money and you're like, I need to get rid of this, I need to spend. Use those dollars. You can do it directly on Dr. Dennis Gross's website. It's very, very easy to do. There's literally a tab that says hsa, fsa.
C
Okay.
B
I would also say look into brands like Zip, Current Body and Omnilux. I'm sure they will have some kind of, kind of discount. But like, this is the time to buy your tools and devices. Peeps.
C
Yep, this is it. Wait, okay, can I just shout out one tool that maybe I'll get for you for Christmas?
B
Don't you have it? Yep.
C
Okay, well, everyone needs one. It's the Nori.
B
Can you teach me how to use it though? Because I don't think. I think it's hard for left handers. Oh, I think it's hard for left handers. I feel that I can't actually get the wrinkle.
C
No, you can't get the wrinkle.
B
I think they need to make either a left handed version or they need to like, make it less, like, easier for me to clamp.
C
Totally.
B
Rj, One of my good friends loves this as well. And I was like, I have it. I bought it for myself. I never use it because I find it to be a struggle.
C
Okay.
B
Don't let that deter you. Sarah is a mother with small children. Tell the people why.
C
I just. Yeah, it's a. It's okay. So it's like a steamer meets iron. It's think of it like a straightener tool to help you get the wrinkles out. This is on sale. It's 25% off, so it's usually 120. It's on sale for $90. To me, I just think that, like when you don't have wrinkles in your clothes, you just look so much more put together, even if you're not feeling like you are. But to Your point? Sometimes I. I've been using like Zoe's left handed scissors and it's like hard for me. Yeah, it's hard.
B
It's hard to left hander. And that's why you all should empathize with left handed people. Because we have been forced into the live side of society.
C
Yes.
B
Our entire lives. And we're wondering, you're wondering why our brains are constantly changing, just going all the time. Because we were having to think, am I just nuts or is this not made for me?
C
No, it's not made for you.
B
Thank you.
C
Sorry.
B
She's a lefty. She's a lefty. She's such a lefty. She's going to thrive in life. I know this for her. We're going to skip makeup, guys, because honestly, you know where to find makeup. And I honestly don't think that there's anything on this list that we have that's truly like remarkable in terms of discounts.
C
Yeah. Like maybe Charlotte Tilbury.
B
Yes. I think Charlotte has a ton of things going on. So if you love the brand like I do, the Airbrush Flawless powder, if that's what it's called, I don't know. But truly, it's life changing.
C
And their new foundation, their Airbrush Flawless foundation is my favorite.
B
Yes. Okay, so great. If you have dry lips and you suffer from dry lips. I didn't think I had dry lips until I started using this product again. And I'm like, you know what?
C
I.
B
This is doing the damn thing. Lanolips. Linolips is incredible. You can buy it at Ulta, but you can also buy it on Amazon. From the 27th through Cyber Monday, they're offering 20% off the full brand and 30% off select SKUs, including the original 101 ointment. Lanolips is great because it has lanolin in it. All right. Like, it's the reason why it works so well. Honestly, I feel like it was the.
C
Cutest lip product that came out around that time. Like before, like Summer Fridays came out. You know, it was just like this.
B
Predates road. Predates Summer Fridays.
C
Yeah.
B
So, so cute. On the 28th, Black Friday, you can get 30% off the full brand@ Ulta.com and then at Walgreens, it's 50% off. Buy one, get one. I am personally a fan of the banana flavor and it has a little gold specks in it.
C
Oh, I like that one too.
B
And it smells great and it makes my lips feel so good. And I love, love, love putting it on. I put it on over my lip liner and lipstick as not even a gloss, but just to give a sheen. And I always get compliments.
C
It's really good. That's a good one to call out.
B
Fabulous. Fabulous, darling.
C
Let's see. Okay, La Roche Posay is going to be 25 off on Amazon, so stock up on your sunscreen.
B

If you know, you know, because they're getting new packaging, they're offering 25% off on their site through December 7th. So get in there and get. Cause I mean, that stuff's not cheap.

B

C
I mean, who doesn't want their name on a little brush?
B
That is. I mean, I thought they would exclude. Oh, it says excluding. Just kidding. Hold on. Well, then I was right. I was like, why the hell would they include customs in this? Okay, we're giving that in. We're giving that in because, I mean, we're right. They should not include customizing in that. And they're not. So sorry, but like, I mean, while you're there, get a custom hairbrush. But you can get 25% off side wide from starting yesterday to December 1st. And okay, I have to shout this out because I think I did turn on so many people to this brand when I mentioned them. I love gifting the Volo towels to people. It changes lives. They. People don't realize when they get a good towel how it's going to improve their shower and bath experience. All of my towels are exclusively Volo. They have large bath wraps. They have the hair towels, which is what was entered. I was gifted a Volo hair towel. I love it because it's this microfiber. It's really gentle on the hair. It has a little tag on the back. So when you do the little hair crown, easy hair hat, it just sticks right there. It doesn't fall off your head. And I reached out to them and they said that they are doing 35% off their whole site Friday and Saturday for Black Friday. So that's the 28th. Is that the 28th and 29th.
C
The 20th is Friday.
B
Yep, the 28th and 29th and then 40% off bundles on that Sunday, the 30th and Monday, December 1st for Cyber Monday. Oh my God. And they said, we would love to send you in, Sarah, some of our favorite Volo products. Thank you. Yes. Because I have invested so much. I don't have one when they have. I haven't given it to you.
C
No.
B
Oh, I give you skims pajamas.
C

B
I truly, this is a life changing product in my opinion.

Okay, Sarah, what are you buying for yourself? What is one sale you'll be shopping this season? Anything come to mind? Doesn't have to be beauty. Doesn't have to be on this list. I have one. Okay. I'm looking at Madge Mage. Oh, yes, Marje. I've asked them. Still don't remember. M A J E. I buy all of my sparkle pants there. I love their clothing. It's them and Sandro. I will be on their sites like a hawk looking for deals.

But I love to go on like right after I eat Thanksgiving meal, I go on Zara's website because they have some sort of deal and I always just Like, I know. I know we're talking about dupes, but I just love to shop and see, like, what the deals are. And Zara, it's all so super, super cute, but I also, if I could, would be going to the malls. But it's delicious.
B
I honestly love being amongst the people. I know that there's some people that are like, get me away from the mall during Black Friday. I love being around. It's like holiday season.
C
