Updated on Friday, November 21, 2025:  From start dates to discount levels, and what products will likely be included (or excluded), here’s everything you need to know if you’re planning to shop NARS during their Black Friday 2025 sale.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

NARS is kicking off their Black Friday sale early this year for members. VIP early access is already live at narscosmetics.com. If you’re a member, you can shop the sale now using the promo code CYBER.

The official Black Friday sale is expected to start Saturday, November 22, 2025, or shortly thereafter for all shoppers.

Discount Levels to Expect

During early access, VIP members can enjoy:

  • 25% off sitewide, or

  • 30% off orders of $150 or more

Plus, NARS is offering free gifts with purchases of $125 or more (a five-piece mini set included automatically at checkout).

Like in previous years, free standard shipping is included for all U.S. orders, though shipping may vary for Alaska, Hawaii, and international locations.

What’s Usually Excluded from the Sale

NARS tends to exclude certain products from their Black Friday promotion. Likely exclusions include:

  • Holiday Gift Sets — These are already value sets and rarely discounted further.

  • Sale Items / Last Chance Products — Already marked-down products usually do not qualify for additional discounts.

  • Limited Editions or Collaborations — Special artist collaborations or limited-edition collections often aren’t included.

Check NARS’ official sale terms at checkout to confirm exclusions before purchasing.

Featured Deals to Watch

Some perennial favorites that shoppers target during Black Friday include:

  • Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

  • Orgasm Blush

  • Audacious Lipstick

  • Laguna Bronzing Powder

For orders over $150, the 30% discount can make bundling multiple products a smart way to maximize savings. Additionally, purchases of $125+ now come with a free five-piece mini set, giving you more value for your money.

Nikon Black Friday 2025 Sale – The Deals Are Live!

1 Comment

Updated on Friday, November 21, 2025: Nikon’s Black Friday kicked off this morning, and this year’s discounts are among the strongest Nikon has offered in recent years. The sale spans a wide range of camera bodies, lenses, and sport optics, but as always, the most popular gear is limited to in-stock availability. Here’s everything you need to know.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates and Duration

Nikon’s Black Friday sale officially runs from November 21 through November 29, 2025, exclusively at nikonusa.com.

Nikon clearly notes “while in-stock supplies last,” so availability is not guaranteed through the full sale period.

How Deep Are the Discounts This Year?

You’ll see major price drops on premium mirrorless gear, moderate cuts on more affordable bodies, and strong value on both Z-mount and F-mount lenses. A few DSLR kits and sport optics also stand out with meaningful savings. The steepest discounts tend to be:

  • Higher-end Z series bodies and professional lenses
  • Specialized telephoto optics (both Z and F mount)
  • Select enthusiast mirrorless kits and entry compact kits

Shoppers building a new Z-mount system will likely see the most notable savings this year.

Featured Mirrorless Camera Deals

While many bodies are discounted, a few mirrorless models define the sale:

  • Z 8 body now $3,499.95 (previously $4,299.95)
  • Z 9 body now $5,199.95 (down from $5,899.95)
  • Z 6III body now $2,099.95 (previously $2,699.95)
  • Z 6III 24–70 mm f/4 kit now $2,699.95 (was $3,299.95)
  • Z 7II body now $1,899.95 (down from $2,499.95)
  • Z 5 body now $999.95 (formerly $1,449.95)

These price cuts bring several of Nikon’s most capable cameras into a price range where they become more practical upgrades, not just flagship options for professionals.

Featured Lens Deals (Z Mount)

Lens discounts are particularly wide-ranging, and the most compelling values center on high-end primes and telephotos:

  • NIKKOR Z 400 mm f/2.8 TC VR S now $12,699.95 (was $14,699.95)
  • NIKKOR Z 800 mm f/6.3 VR S now $5,999.95 (was $6,999.95)
  • NIKKOR Z 600 mm f/6.3 VR S now $3,999.95 (down from $5,199.95)
  • NIKKOR Z 14–24 mm f/2.8 S now $2,099.95 (previously $2,699.95)
  • NIKKOR Z 24–70 mm f/2.8 S now $1,999.95 (was $2,549.95)
  • NIKKOR Z 50 mm f/1.8 S now $469.95 (formerly $669.95)

Between deep telephoto reductions and solid discounts on popular everyday zooms and primes, this lineup offers meaningful upgrades at nearly any skill level.

Featured Deals on DSLR Gear and Sport Optics

Although Nikon is focused on mirrorless, DSLR shooters and outdoor users still get worthwhile savings:

  • D850 body now $1,999.95 (down from $2,599.95)
  • D780 body now $1,549.95 (or $2,049.95 with 24–120 mm kit)
  • AF-S NIKKOR 24 mm f/1.4G ED now $1,399.95 (formerly $1,999.95)
  • MONARCH M7 10×42 binoculars now $489.95 (down from $549.95)
  • COOLSHOT PROIII Stabilized rangefinder now $399.95 (was $529.95)

For photographers still committed to F-mount systems or those who split time between shooting and outdoor sports, these are among the best values of the sale.
