Retailers and brands understand that Black Friday and Cyber Monday wipe out wallets. It feels like an unprecedented amount of companies are offering serious steals and deep discounts this holiday shopping season. But many are going above and beyond. Lots of brands are away free beauty products on Black Friday — because freebies always look and feel good. The freebie also extend to Cyber Monday.

You can always gift these free items to someone on your shopping list — because why not?! Or you can keep them for yourself and personally enjoy some of the perks of holiday shopping. If you are whipping out your credit card or blowing your budget on your besties and loved ones, it's only fair that you include yourself in the freebie fun and festivities. Why should you be excluded from the mix? Oh, right. You shouldn't be.
