Oh HAI y’all it’s Black Friday, and y’all know what that means? Discounts! In the case of The Body Shop, it means 30% off everything instore today. That’s a serious discount and one I would definitely be taking advantage of, were I in the country! What would I buy? Well, how’s about some body butters, for a start (coconut’s my favourite), followed by some make-up brushes and, oh, perhaps some White Musk (for old time’s sake). And then there’s this gorgeous black ‘n’ silver smoky eyes palette, as part of The Body Shop’s Christmas 2011 collection.

I’m an absolute sucker for anything that makes smoky eyes (or sultry eyes, or made-up eyes, you get the picture) a cinch – and this baby will do it all for you. Well, y’know, with a little elbow grease from you. It’s €23.95 – meaning today only it’s €16.77! Bargain! Check out the savings and let me know if you buy anything!

(So I know, I know, I’ve blogged about The Body Shop a couple of times – but their PR team is great at reaching out. If you run or do PR for a great business you think I’d like to hear about, please, drop me an email telling me why you’re worth knowing at rmaccabe@irishtimes.com. And happy Friday!)
