Margin Of Beauty

One of the most popular posts on Margin Of Beauty is my annual roundup of all the Singles’ Day beauty deals. I don’t just list out the deals but rather I give you the lowdown on whether these deals are worth your money. You can see a past example here. Black Friday is a couple of weeks after Singles’ Day which poses some questions. Should you take advantage of the Singles’ Day deals or wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday? What holiday offers up the biggest savings by brand? Nothing beats November when it comes to getting a deal but I am sure we all want to score the…

It is that wonderful time of the year again! National Lipstick Day is around the corner and I have been giddy about it since the beginning of the month. This day falls on July 29th every year and you can count on seeing deals from almost every beauty brand and retailer. There really is no better time of the year to fulfill your lipstick wishlist! It is believed that Huda Kattan, founder of Huda Beauty, started this day back in 2006. The goal was simple – wear your favourite shade loud and proud. I have been rounding up all the National Lipstick Day deals for a few years now and this…

I recently came across an article about the 100 greatest skincare products of all time and I was excited to see what made the list. After a thorough review, I discovered that I have used 70 of these skincare gems. Naturally, I am now on a mission to use the remaining 30. The only exception may be the La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream which retails for a whopping $800! As I was going through the list I was pleasantly surprised to note that I did not pay full price for a single one of the 70 products. That includes luxe brands like La Mer, Sisley-Paris, Augustinus Bader, and SkinCeuticals.…

It’s that time of the year! National Lash Day is upon us and I am here with your mascara deal round-up. This fun day falls on February 19th every year and the objective is to promote the love for lashes. It is believed to have been started back in 2015 by the House of Lashes brand. Today, it is celebrated by dozens of makeup brands with some pretty exciting promotions. There is literally no better time in the year to purchase or restock your mascara favourites. Here is a list of all the 2024 National Lash Day deals and whether they are worth your money. (This post may contain affiliate…

Valentine’s Day is a week away and with that comes a flurry of deals as brands try to capitalize on this holiday. I know the concept of this day isn’t for everyone but the good news is that you don’t need to be in a relationship to take advantage of all of these promotions. When was the last time you heard someone complain about getting a deal? Based on history, however, beauty brands do not give out deep discounts during this holiday. In fact, you may be better off waiting until March when all of the Friends & Family promotions are announced. That is when brands really shell out the…

I debated writing this blog post as it doesn’t really align with what Margin Of Beauty is all about. My focus has always been on sharing Canadian-friendly beauty deals which means no duties, high shipping fees, or currency exchanges. Well, today I am making an exception and I am reviewing this magical place called the IPSY Shop. The only thing standing in the way of it being Canadian-friendly is that it charges in U.S. dollars. This means you are subject to those pesky exchange fluctuations. The prices and deals are so good though that you may just be able to turn a blind eye. So, let’s get into this IPSY…

Black Friday deals have started to drop and so far they are looking more generous than usual. I wouldn’t declare myself an expert in beauty deals but I would say that I have a pretty good gauge of what a good deal looks like on a brand by brand basis. This is a result of years of summarizing Canadian-friendly beauty deals on Margin Of Beauty. While you can find a comprehensive list of all the Black Friday beauty deals on this site, I thought I would help narrow down the best of the best. The main qualifier being that it is the best discount or offer that I have ever…
