Here are our choices for the best international online retailers to shop at this Black Friday!

Sephora

Tis’ the season to experience the joys of makeup and beauty heaven, Sephora! This year the somewhat legendary retailer is giving fans loads to squeal about with some of their best Black Friday deals yet including great deals on makeup palettes. Sephora has already shared several of the deals they’ll be offering on the big day, and they’re pretty amazing. On our list is the Tarte Intro To Tarte Deluxe Discovery Set at $10 (or about R142). This unique set of Tarte goodies would usually set you back $19 (or about R270) and this Friday you can Save $9 (or about R128) on this must-have beauty set which includes Tarte Deluxe drench lip splash lipstick in living (nude mauve), Tarte Deluxe Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in unstoppable (peachy pink), and Tarte Deluxe lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascara.

Another great must-buy is the Too Faced Better Than Sex Lash On & Melt Off Set $10 (or about R142). This intensely black, volumizing mascara has an hourglass-shaped brush that separates, coats, and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection. It’s a cult classic when it comes to volumizing mascaras and for Black Friday Sephora is pairing it with the equally legendary Too Faced Mascara Melt Off Cleansing Oil. This fabulous cleansing oil dissolves regular and waterproof mascara and removes every trace of mascara so there’s no nasty surprises in the morning. This duo would usually retail for $40 (or about 568) together but this Black Friday you can get it from Sephora and save $30 (or about R425)!

Alo Yoga

Yogi’s looking for workout gear with a difference will love Alo Yoga and this Black Friday they’re offering some incredible deals on leggings, tank tops, sports bras, accessories, and more. They’ve already got some great sale deals up on their website with and on Black Friday shoppers can grab 30% discounts on all full-price and sale items, with discounts reaching 70% off!

Some great deals on offer at the moment (which are due to marked down even further in the next few days!) include the Alo Yoga Alexa Tank in black at $34 (or R521). This stunning tank top would usually set you back $42 (or R644) making this a great deal! We also love the Alo Yoga Vitalize Tank Top in dark Heather grey & black at $32.00 (or R490). This stylish tank top is usually priced at $54 (or R828) and would make the perfect gift for yourself this festive season.

Victoria’s Secret

If there’s one thing every gal needs in her wardrobe it’s a little something from Victoria’s Secret. And, of course, Black Friday is simply the best time to bag some Victoria’s Secret magic at a fraction of the price. This Black Friday the beloved lingerie retailer is slashing 50% off a wide selection of bras and other items and you can’t miss out. We love the Victoria’s Secret front-close Bralette Collection (available in various colours) at just $10 (about R142). This beautiful bra is usually $20 (about R285).

If you love bralettes then you also want to check out the oh-so-stunning Victoria’s Secret Lace Racerback Bralette bra at $10 (about R142). This stunning bra comes in a range of colours and is usually priced at $20 (about R285).
