The high-street beauty retailer is offering impressive discounts and deals on big-name brands, including Fenty, Dr. Jart+, Estée Lauder and No7. And if you’re looking to upgrade your hair dryer or your electric toothbrush, tools by BaByliss, Remington and Oral B are particularly good value right now.
Of course, Boots is not the only retailer hosting an epic Black Friday sale – the likes of Amazon, Currys and John Lewis & Partners are also slashing their prices across everything from TVs, laptops and gaming to home appliances, tech and mattresses.
But, unsurprisingly, beauty is also a huge category during the shopping bonanza, and Boots really is one of the best places to shop for great deals.

When is Black Friday 2022 in the UK?
This year, Black Friday takes place on 25 November and runs through to the following Monday. However, in a bid to attract customers, many retailers launch deals weeks before, so keep your eyes peeled on IndyBest, as we’ll be reporting on the early-bird sales.
It’s the biggest sale period in brands’ and retailers’ calendars, and products such as beauty tools, make-up brushes, skincare and haircare see huge reductions. Given its proximity to Christmas, it’s a timely opportunity to get organised and tick off your shopping list for loved ones.
When is Cyber Monday 2022?
Cyber Monday is the name given to the Monday following Black Friday and is the last day of the sale event. This year, it will fall on Monday 28 November.
It’s your final opportunity before 26 December to bag some bargains and, in previous years, we’ve seen prices drop even further than on Black Friday itself, so make sure you’ve set a reminder if there are products you’re keen to get hold of for less.
When will the Boots Black Friday sale start?
Although the official Black Friday sales event begins on 25 November, Boots has already started to offer discounts across a range of products. Be sure to bookmark this page to stay in the know about the latest deals.
What deals can we expect from Boots in this year’s sale?
Electric toothbrushes, shavers, perfume and hair tools at Boots are often reduced by hundreds of pounds, so we’re expecting to see similar items in the sale for 2022.
Gift sets from the likes of Benefit, Origins and Estée Lauder also see big savings, and are perfect for ticking off your Christmas shopping list.

(Boots)
It features Too Faced’s bestselling mascara, better than sex, which we reviewed in our guide to the best mascaras.

(Boots)
Featuring 12 shades that promise to be longwearing and crease-resistant, there’s a mix of matte, shimmer and metallic finishes to play with. Perfect for everyday and special occasions, it’s such a good deal, we might just keep this for ourselves.
