Skincare
Subtl Beauty Cream Concealer — $11.20 (normally $14)
One of the most annoying things about packing is the number of products I find myself attempting to squeeze into my TSA-approved quart-sized bag. When it comes to makeup, I firmly believe less is more, which is where Subtl Beauty’s stackable makeup products come in handy. Available in various shades, Sublt allows you to build a customizable makeup stack based on your skin, complexion and product needs, including with concealer, eye shadow, bronzer, blush, highlighter, lip balm and pressed powder.
Their products literally stack, so they are easily packable and take up less space than traditional makeup products.
Beyond the cream concealer, which is available for under $12, Subtl’s other custom staks are also 20% off, starting under $10 for their shine control pressed powder, $11 for their bronzer and $14 for a two-in-one eyeshadow palette.

Recharge Smart SkyBlue quip toothbrush — $29.99 (normally $49.99)

Electric toothbrushes have vastly improved, including those from Quip, whose 100% recyclable paper packaging-made brushes provide a three-month charge via its magnetic USB charging cable, so you likely won’t ever have to worry about packing an extra charger.

Revlon Oval One Step Volumizer Plus Hair Dryer — $41.49 (normally $69.99)
If the Dyson Airwrap is expensive or simply too complicated, consider Revlon’s One Step Volumizer Plus Hair Dryer for a more minimal approach to at-home blowouts. Don’t let the under $100 price tag fool you; this is a quality product I’ve used over the past year to dry and shape my hair to give off the impression that I’ve put in a lot more effort than I actually have. Minimum effort for maximum reward is my jam when it comes to hair care as a gal on the go.

TULA SKINCARE Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm — $19 (normally $38)
One of my favorite clean skincare brands is Tula, and their Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm is a holy grail product for many. Though there’s some debate as to whether eye balms actually firm and tighten the look of skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, I will say this product instantly cools my skin for a brighter, glower appearance, which is honestly is enough for me.

Using both of these products regularly, I can personally recommend them.
Maximize your purchase
To get the most out of your purchases, be sure to use tools such as online shopping portals to earn extra points, miles or cash back. Instead of going directly to a retailer to make a purchase, search one of the shopping portals first to see if the retailer is a participating store (the answer is likely yes).
Every portal has a different payout, but you can use a shopping portal aggregator such as CashbackMonitor or Evreward to search for the store to quickly compare the current bonuses since payouts change daily and vary between programs. From there, use TPG’s monthly valuation guide to determine what your bonus miles or points are worth.
Additionally, remember that specific credit cards, including those from American Express, Chase and Citi, target specific cardholders with offers for certain retailers that may be among your Black Friday stores.
Wondering what credit card to use? Consider the options below based on where you plan on shopping:
Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express: Earn 3% back for your first $6,000 of online purchases from U.S. retailers annuallyChase Freedom Flex: Currently offering 5% back on up to $1,500 when paying with PayPal during the fourth quarter of 2023Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card: Earn at least 2 miles per dollar on every single purchaseAmazon Prime Visa Card: Prime users earn 3% back on various items and groceries at Amazon and Whole FoodsCiti Custom Cash® Card: Earn 5% cash back on the first $500 of purchases each billing cycle in your top spending categoryDiscover it® Cash Back Credit Card: Earn 5% cash back every quarter on up to $1,500 spent on purchases in quarterly rotating categories, including Amazon.com and Target.Citi Double Cash® Card: Earn 2 points per dollar on purchases (1 ThankYou point for each dollar you spend and another 1 point for each dollar you pay from your bill)Lastly, there are a number of shopping portals that reward shoppers with cash back for online purchases if you prefer cash in your pocket. Each portal will offer a different amount of cash back, so you’ll want to compare the different sites:
