Bargain Hunter: Dyson airwrap for €270, a €69 Hydrafacial, 25% off Aer Lingus flights
This week's Bargain Hunter is all about the Black Friday deals we can shop now
Aer Lingus' Black Friday sale offers up to 25% off European destinations this winter including Dublin to Paris, Tenerife, Malaga, Lisbon and more, plus Cork to Amsterdam, Lyon, Munich, Lanzarote, and more. Offers end at midnight on Monday, November 27. They are also offering a €100 discount on flights to North America. For all deals, you must travel between December 1, 2023 and March 24, 2024.
You won't want to miss this one. Ebay's Dyson Outlet is offering 40% off everything for Black Friday. We have it on good authority these refurbished machines are as good as new, so it's the perfect way to make a more sustainable choice while treating yourself to that haircare tool you've been pining over for months, or years... Of course the Dyson Airwrap is the big one here, and it will be €269.99 in the sale (RRP €449.99). Sale ends November 30.

Not a Black Friday deal, but well worth a mention, the €19.99 Avenue Weekend Bag in Aldi stores this Sunday, November 19, available in brown and olive — is the perfect secret Santa gift for the man in your life.
Black Friday is just around the corner, and we're already making the most of the sales for sorting our Christmas List. But, it's also a great opportunity to treat yourself! One offer we will definitely be availing of is the €69 glow express Hydrafacial Thérapie Clinic has announced as a Black Friday exclusive. The popular TikTok facial is usually at least €99 — and can cost a lot more depending on the salon you go to and add-ons you book. But in our experience, the simple 4-step process is enough to give our skin a deep clean and that post-facial glow, so this 20-minute version will do the trick and fit into our lunch break.
Black Friday also offers a great opportunity to treat yourself to a day in the spa, with spas.ie offering 15% off its vouchers, and many hotels launching voucher sales that can be used in their spas.
The Choice Hotel Group, for example, is offering 20% off monetary vouchers and has the g hotel in its directory. That means you could buy a voucher for €100, with a retail value of €125, which would get you a 55-minute Sweedish massage at the 5 star Galway hotel's spa.
If you have a beauty fiend in your life, there are some great gifting options at Millies.ie and Cloud10Beauty.com, two Irish retailers.
For haircare lovers, one great set at Millie's is the K18 Limited Edition Next Level Repair Trio gift set which will go down a treat with anyone who cares about the quality of their hair. It includes the brands' detox shampoo (250ml), a 50ml bottle of their outstanding leave-in molecular repair hair mask, and a 10ml try-it-and-see bottle of their repair hair oil. We've used all three and couldn't recommend more. Worth €135, the set is down to €84.60 for Black Friday.
Over at Monaghan-based Cloud10 Beauty, Kérastase's Shine Essentials: Color Treated Hair Chroma Absolu Trio gift set would be a safe option for any secret Santa with coloured hair, with an 80ml bottle of the Chroma Absolu Bain Riche Chroma Respect Shampoo, 75ml Chroma Absolu Fondant Cica Chroma Strengthening Conditioner and a 45ml Chroma Absolu Sérum Chroma Thermique (use for heat protection, to combat frizz and to detangle). For Black Friday, it's down to €30.36 (RRP €37.95).
With both retailers, a range of gifts and individual products from Irish brands such as KASH Beauty, Pestle & Mortar, Sculpted by Aimee, and SOSU by Suzanne Jackson are also on sale for Black Friday now.
