I’m not a huge Black Friday sort of shopper — the older I get, the less inclined I am to wait in line — but this year, I’m determined to get my holiday shopping done early. (The fact that I have a bunch of deadlines in December is, of course, a major factor.) I was actually really surprised by the beauty deals you can get online, and the best part is I don’t have to leave the house. So get shopping engines started for these Black Friday deals.
