Maidenform Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: Maidenform’s Black Friday 2025 sale is just around the corner. Here’s what you can expect to see this year and what was on sale last year so you can be prepared.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Timeline

Madenform’s Black Friday 2025 sale is expected to begin on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, November 27, 2025, on maidenform.com. The event typically runs through Cyber Monday and then continues for an additional couple of days, wrapping up on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

That gives you nearly a full week to take advantage of the discounts. So if you can’t jump in on the deals right away on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday itself, there will still be time to shop over the weekend and early into the following week.

Typical Discount Levels

Based on what was offered last year and in years before that, here’s what you can probably expect in 2025:

  • Up to 50% off shapewear
  • Bras starting at $12.99
  • Panties in a bundle deal: 10 for $40
  • Free shipping across the site

The discount is applied at checkout or shown directly on the product page (no coupon code typically required).

Shipping and Returns

Madenform usually includes free standard shipping sitewide during their Black Friday event, and that looks to be the case again for 2025. There’s usually no minimum purchase required, which is a bonus, especially if you’re only grabbing a few items.

Occasionally, they might offer extra perks for newsletter subscribers or first-time buyers, like a small percentage off your first order. But during Black Friday, the major discounts are typically available to everyone and don’t require signing up or creating an account.

Returns are generally accepted within 60 days, though it’s worth double-checking the return policy during the sale. If you’re buying items marked as final sale, they might not be returnable or refundable.

A Quick Look Back at 2024’s Featured Deals

To give you a better idea of what kinds of products were discounted last year, here are a few examples from Madenform’s 2024 Black Friday event:

  • Firm Foundations High-Waist Brief: Regularly $38, dropped to $18.99
  • Comfort Devotion Wire-Free Bra: Regularly $40, priced at $14.99
  • Body Shaper with Built-in Bra: Regular price $52, on sale for $29.99
  • Lace Hipster Panty: Originally $11 each, included in the 10 for $40 promo
  • Comfort Flex Fit Underwire Bra: Regular $42, marked down to $19.99

These discounts were available across sizes ranging from S to 3X and cup sizes from A to DDD. Most of the deeper discounts applied to core styles and bestsellers rather than brand-new arrivals.

MAC Cosmetics Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

1 Comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’ve been thinking about stocking up on your favorite lipstick or eye shadow for the winter, then Black Friday might be the best time to do it. Based on what we’ve seen in the past and what’s likely this year, here’s what you can expect from MAC’s Black Friday Sale in 2025, including the likely sale dates, typical discounts, what’s usually included, and what to keep an eye on.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

MAC’s Black Friday 2025 sale is expected to kick off on Monday, November 24, 2025, which is three days before Thanksgiving.

The sale should run through Saturday, November 29, 2025, ending at 11:59 PM EST—or earlier if popular products run out. Last year, quantities were limited, and some products didn’t make it to the end of the sale week. So if you see something you want, it’s best to grab it early.

Where You Can Shop

You’ll likely be able to shop both online at maccosmetics.com and in MAC freestanding stores. However, department stores (i.e. Macy’s, Sephora, Ulta Beauty, etc.), airport shops, and partner websites usually won’t be part of this offer, just like in previous years.

If you want the most options and perks like free samples or free shipping, shopping online is your best bet. The sale will apply to U.S. customers only, and not all MAC stores may participate, so it’s worth checking ahead if you prefer to shop in person.

Typical Discounts

One of the highlights of MAC’s Black Friday event is the 30% off storewide discount, which is expected again this year. That applies to most of the products, including a selection of holiday gift sets. No code is usually needed—just add your items to the cart and the discount will be automatically applied.

Last year, a few bonus offers were available too. MAC offered 25% off one extra set beyond the main promotion, such as the Star Status Lipstick Best-Sellers Duo. That kind of bonus deal may return in 2025, especially toward the middle of the week as MAC adds new offers or items.

But you might be better off waiting until Cyber Monday. That’s because last year the sitewide offer was bumped up to 40% off.

What You Can Expect to Be On Sale

MAC is known for putting both everyday staples and limited-edition collections into their Black Friday mix. Based on previous years, here are the types of items you can expect to see included in the 30% off promotion:

  • Lipsticks and Lipglass products
  • Eyeshadow singles and palettes
  • Brushes and select tools
  • Face products like foundation, blush, and highlighters
  • Holiday gift sets
  • Some mini-sized products

There will likely be exclusions. Last year, MAC excluded items such as:

  • Gift Cards and eGift Cards
  • Customize Palette Tool
  • Good Buys
  • Studio Radiance 24HR Luminous Lift Concealer
  • Certain holiday kits like the 24K Holiday Kits and Gift of Gold Collection
  • Viva Glam MACximal products
  • Mini MAC
  • Giftwrap and Custom Kits
  • Pro Palette Compacts & Inserts
  • Makeup Services
  • Select limited-edition products
  • Select pro tools

Expect a similar list of exceptions this year. Items that are limited edition or part of specialty collections tend to be excluded, especially ones that have launched close to the holiday season.

Shipping, Samples, and Delivery Options

For those ordering online, MAC usually offers free standard shipping on any purchase over $35, which should remain the same this year. No code is required for this perk, and you’ll likely also be able to select a complimentary sample at checkout while supplies last. Only one sample offer can be applied per order, and out-of-stock items won’t be eligible.

Another convenient option is Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store, which was available last year and should be again in 2025. You can also choose same-day delivery in some locations, but this may vary by ZIP code and store inventory.

Keep in mind that these perks are only valid for non-M·A·C Pro Members, and they don’t apply to department store orders. Also, if your order includes a backordered or pre-order item, and you later cancel that part of the order, MAC may cancel any related free promotional items as well.

A Note About Restrictions

MAC has a detailed list of terms and restrictions, and while the sale is generous, it’s not unlimited. Some important things to remember:

  • Pro members and Estée Lauder employees are excluded from most Black Friday deals.
  • The offer can’t be stacked with other discounts or codes.
  • Orders that aren’t authorized may be canceled by MAC.
  • Free promotional items can’t be returned or exchanged.

Also, if your order contains multiple items and you cancel part of it, you might lose eligibility for free items tied to the purchase minimum. This can be especially important if you’re combining pre-order items with in-stock items.

Louis Vuitton Black Friday 2025 Sale – What (Not) To Expect

15 Comments

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re waiting for Louis Vuitton to offer a Black Friday discount in 2025, you’ll be waiting forever. The brand doesn’t do sales. Not for holidays, not for clearance, not even for slightly damaged items. The price is the same 365 days a year. That’s how it’s always been, and it’s not changing anytime soon.

Here’s what to know — and why Louis Vuitton avoids sales altogether.

No Sales, No Exceptions

Louis Vuitton has a strict no-discount policy. That means no promo codes, no seasonal markdowns, and no limited-time offers. This approach isn’t unique to Black Friday. The brand has never held a sale, not once, not anywhere. And that policy applies globally — online, in boutiques, in department store corners — everywhere.

If you’ve ever seen discounted Louis Vuitton items, it wasn’t from an official source. Plenty of sites and third-party sellers claim to offer “authentic bags at a discount,” but they’re almost always fake. Louis Vuitton doesn’t authorize resellers, and it definitely doesn’t slash prices on its own.

Why There Are No Discounts

Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton rely on exclusivity and consistency. If something is always full price, it holds its value better. Buyers know what to expect, and the brand never risks feeling “cheapened” by clearance bins or flash sales. The same goes for other high-end luxury designers like Chanel, Gucci and Hermes.

Unlike most retailers, Louis Vuitton doesn’t want to sell as much as possible. It wants to stay selective, controlled, and high-end. The shopping experience is part of the product, and discounts don’t fit into that model.

What Happens to Unsold or Flawed Items?

They don’t get discounted — they get destroyed.

Louis Vuitton doesn’t clear out old inventory or mark down display pieces. If an item is unsold or imperfect, it’s taken out of circulation and disposed of. It might sound extreme, but this is how the brand keeps its products exclusive and its pricing firm. There’s no “outlet” path for these items. They’re not resold, they’re not refurbished, and they don’t end up on clearance.

No Outlet Stores, Either

Some brands sell past-season goods at a discount in outlet stores. Louis Vuitton doesn’t. It has no outlet locations, no factory stores, and no discount warehouses. Every authentic Louis Vuitton item comes from either their official website, a flagship boutique, or a very limited number of trusted department store counters. That’s it.

Any store claiming to be a Louis Vuitton outlet is either reselling used items or dealing in counterfeits. If you’re not buying directly from Louis Vuitton, proceed with caution.

What About Black Friday?

On Black Friday, Louis Vuitton stores operate exactly the same way they do every other day. You won’t find signs, coupons, or markdowns. The products on the shelves are the same, and the prices haven’t changed.

If you walk into a boutique or visit their website on November 28, 2025, expecting a deal, you’ll be disappointed. But that’s how they want it — luxury without compromise.

Only Way to Save: Pre-Owned

If you’re set on getting a Louis Vuitton item for less than retail, your only real option is the secondhand market. There are a few trusted resellers that offer pre-owned bags, often at slightly lower prices. Sites like Fashionphile, The RealReal, and Rebag specialize in authentic luxury resale. But even there, prices don’t drop dramatically unless the item is worn or dated.

And you still need to be careful. Counterfeits are everywhere, especially online. Some fakes are incredibly convincing, so always buy from a source that authenticates their items and backs it with a return policy.
