To those who survived the Hunger Games that is the country-wide 11.11 Sale unscathed, I salute you! Unfortunately, the sales haven’t stopped haunting you yet. Here at Calyxta, we’re bringing you even more deals from Black Friday all the way to Cyber Monday, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled and your wallets on hand! Read up to find out the best deals (IMO) you can nab for yourself and maybe even some snazzy gift ideas for the holidays. You can’t Bird Box your way out of this one!

I was personally victimized by the snail craze when it popped up a few years back, yet I can’t seem to get over it to this day! While the Internet does make some pretty big claims, I’ve deduced from road testing different snail products that while they are in no means a miracle maker, they really do give your skin a boost of moisture and a supple feeling the next day. That being said, I’d suggest hopping on this lotion if you’re feeling a little rough and dried out. Its concoction of ingredients that we at Calyxta love to death, like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, is perfect for revitalizing tired skin and helping maintain your skin’s vitality. A worthy purchase, indeed!

Authentic, high-quality leather goods are hard to come by, which is why having these Mayvn items on sale (ALL of their items will be at 20% off, by the way!) made my tiny hummingbird heart flutter! I was never one to like bringing around a big bag, so for those looking for the right bag for just the right amount of stuff for a quick errand or a night out with your gal pals, this pouch will be your best friend. With its sleek and no-nonsense design, it’s a wonderful bag to pair with a multitude of different OOTDs. It also has a convenient front pocket for essentials (aka my lip gloss)! Best part? They’re a local brand!

For those that may not have heard of Leejiham, they were the first cosmetics company in Korea to produce cosmeceuticals: a marriage between pharmaceuticals with high quality cosmetics. Being the godfather of such a category must mean they take their skin care seriously, right? Absolutely!

With this in mind, I freaked when I heard their products were all half off. For someone whose hormones are haywire and whose sleeping patterns are irregular, I am in constant need of something to treat my pesky acne and keep them at bay; this 90% tea tree essence is perfect for just that. Because this product is formulated without all the skin care no-no’s such as silicons, parabens, colorants, alcohol, and mineral oils, you can be sure that this essence will help smooth out even the most sensitive, irritated skin.

As someone who hates packing on heavy products and creams on her face, I absolutely love the idea of having a hydrating essence with sun protection built in already. Not only does it feel lighter on the skin, but it cuts some time getting ready in the morning because it’s already two products in one! It sinks into the skin quickly and doesn’t feel sticky to touch, making it perfect for daily protection and for wearing under makeup. With spirulina and birch extract infused into the formula, you can expect some great moisturization—at 10% off, too!

While ALL Pink Sugar’s items will be at 20% OFF, I highly recommend one of my HG powder blushes—the HD Cheek Color, specifically in Summer Nights. I’ve hit pan on this blush twice at this point since I use it literally every day; I often find myself even layering this on top of my other blushes just because they don’t give me the pigment I’m looking for!

All the blushes in this line have awesome pigment, meaning you don’t need to work too hard to get a lovely soft matte finish. They blend seamlessly into the skin and stay on for hours, so any one of these blushes would be worthy of your attention. But the reason why I love Summer Nights to no end is that it’s the most universally-flattering peach shade that goes perfectly with so many different looks. Its warm sun-kissed tone is versatile enough to look lovely on both pale zombies such as myself and morena muses alike; two thumbs up from me!

For those looking for a break from the mundane, add a bit of color into your life with this palette from Paprika! This palette has a mix of highly pigmented shimmers and mattes in lovely autumn colors that are perfect for adding a little more playfulness in your everyday looks. Sport some shimmering gold lids for a night out or serve some soft coral Koreana realness—it’s all up to you! Get this versatile palette at a bargain this Black Friday before someone beats you to it!

As someone who needed glasses at a young age and has terrible eyesight, this product really caught my eye. The digital age means that we’re constantly staring at our devices, and while we may not feel its effects now, this constant strain can really decline our eyes’ overall health! Combat that with this set of berry-flavored eye supplements that helps reduce pressure build up in the eyes and corrects kidney imbalances. For those addicted to watching dramas through the night, do yourself a favor and give your eyes some love!

Living in a tropical country has its ups and downs but having sweltering heat all year-round does mean that you have a perfect excuse to look like a bronzed goddess at any point of the year! Achieve all your back-from-the-beach-glow goals and more with this classic from theBalm—a silky smooth bronzing highlighter that blends gorgeously into the skin for natural-looking definition. This is perfect for those looking to bring a little warmth into their look while chiseling out their cheekbones.

This already affordable cream just got even cheaper! For those with an uneven skin tone and would want a light coverage for their acne marks, go for this BB+CC cream from Pond’s while it’s at 20% off. While I can’t say this cream can reach a medium coverage, if you aren’t looking for something heavy duty and will help nourish your skin at the same, then you’ll enjoy this a lot. It gives off a beautiful soft finish that doesn’t feel heavy on the skin at all and brightens the overall complexion. It even has some sun protection to keep premature aging at bay!

Having bags upon bags of cosmetics when you travel is such a hassle, which is why I highly recommend trying out this tiny palette. It contains the perfect shades for your everyday look all in one and can even double as a blusher, bronzer, and highlighter—you can cut that kikay kit in half! Though it is a shimmery palette, I wouldn’t say it’s hard to wear. While it does have a pearlescent finish, it’s not overwhelming in the slightest and adds a beautiful glow to your look.

I thought I could let this article slide with only one Banila Co. product, but I couldn’t help myself! For those with dry skin, I have great news! This hydrating finishing powder (yes, you read that correctly) is formulated especially to keep your skin from losing moisture all while locking in your makeup and controlling sebum production. It adheres well on the skin and gives it that beautiful soft focus blur that we all love.
