Black Friday can be chaotic and daunting, even to the most seasoned shoppers amongst us. Have no fear! With our guide, you can shop small online. Avoid the crowds, get everyone on your list a unique gift, support an independent maker’s dream, and save some coin!
We broke up our Black Friday shopping guide into categories: make-up, skincare, bath and body, and more. Each brand will be listed with the dates and details of their Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and/or Cyber Monday deals. There will also be links to their page and some product highlights if we have them.
Without further ado, let’s get to the list!
Online beauty brand We Are Fluide has been a fun, exciting beauty brand with a focus on the queer community since day one that celebrates people of all skin tones, gender expressions, and identities. Their makeup is for everyone and encourages freedom, expression, and play. They offer a collection of highly pigmented clean, vegan beauty products designed for all skin shades and gender expressions. They hold strong to the belief that makeup is joyful and fun — as well as powerful and transformative — and nobody should be left out.
We’re teaming up with them for a special offering this Black Friday. Their entire site will be 30% off but with the code INDIEMOOD, you can get 35% off starting November 18th 2021 through December 25th 2021.
