It’s finally here!!! Welcome to the The New Knew 2020 Better Than Black Friday Event! This is where you get to shop some of my favorite brand’s Black Friday offers early, PLUS (!) get a little somethin’ somethin’ extra too.

Welcome to the third annual TOG’s Black Friday Preview Event! This year, we’re switching it up a bit, making it bigger and better than ever….AKA the new look/new name: Better Than Black Friday.

In years past, we’ve teamed up with some of our favorite brands to grant TNK readers early access to some of our favorite brands’ Black Friday sales.

Well, all of that is happening again this year but we’ve upped the ante and are not only hookin’ it up with early access, we’ve also included exclusive access or an exclusive gift with purchase—gifts and exclusives that won’t be available anywhere else except right here, right now.

This means; not only do you get to shop early, you get to save more and gain more. HALLA!

It all starts today, November 19, with events rolling out throughout the weekend. So!

• You can scroll through to see exactly what will be offered and when, but…
• Access codes will not be published until each specific day so…
• Be sure to bookmark this page and circle back now through Sunday, Nov. 23.
• And, some events are open to the USA only while some are open internationally, so keep an eye on that as well. 

I also wanted to take a minute to say thank you to the brands who are showcased here. These brands were hand picked by TNK to be included but they were under no obligation to say yes or even offer more than what they are offering on Black Friday. 

That being said, the following brands LOVE TNK readers just as much as you love them, and they all jumped at the chance to be involved. A BIG thank you to each and every brand represented here. We love you!

I recommend picking up her Mermaid Mask which is like a superfood smoothie for your face or Honey Love which is where honey mask meets exfoliator—one of my all time favorites…although you really can’t go wrong with anything from this local Hawaiian, small batch skincare line.

I have some definitive Fitglow faves. One of them is their face SPF which is regrettably sold out until 2021…BUT don’t fret. I also really love their Lip Colour Serums, Eye Bright (to brighten around the eye plus as a shadow primer), their brush set, mascara….and if you have dark circles, you have to try their Correct + in Peach!

This is truly one of those lines that flies under the radar IMO. Their formulations and ingredients are top notch and the user experience is unparalleled. If you haven’t tried KHUS + KHUS yet, this is your chance. Start with The Fix or Blossom Face Serum, you will be left thinking, Where have these been my whole life?!

That means you can save 30% off any of the Wildling stones!

This weekend only, save 30% off Wildling’s stones PLUS receive an invite to their “How To” workshop with your purchase so you can learn how to use your new skincare tool.

SATURDAY 11/21 + SUNDAY 11/22 use code: PREVIEW30 to save 30% off Wildling stones!

I am a long time fan of their Empress Stone which offers an intensified re-patterning of habits in muscles and tissue, helping to remove metabolic waste, environmental pollution, and chemicals that may have entered into the body through conventional beauty products, tap water or an overuse of plastic.

Gua sha is a great way to depuff the face, especially the under-eye and nose and the results are practically instant. I also love their Wand (shown above) for working pressure points and jaw tension.

*This offer applies to their stones only, not the entire site. 

*Workshop details will automatically be forwarded via email to purchases made with TOG’s code.

SATURDAY + SUNDAY: EVOLVH (USA only)

EVOLVh’s offer: 20% off site-wide, no minimum spend!

EVOLVh will be hosting a tiered Black Friday sale this year ie: the more you spend, the more you save.

HOWEVER! The New Knew readers get access to EVOLVh’s top tier percentage off across the board—no minimum spend!

This means you not only get to shop early but you can score their highest savings: 20% off site-wide (no minimums) this weekend only.

SATURDAY 11/21 + SUNDAY 11/22 use code: PREVIEW20 to save 20% at EVOLVh!

I’m just obsessed with how EVOLVh actually cleans my hair. I mean, don’t get me wrong, there are several clean beauty shampoos that work “fine” but with EVOLVh it’s like I’m back in the 90’s shampooing my hair in complete and utter ingredient-ignorance-bliss. I personally prefer their UltraShine Moisturizing Shampoo for my hair.

OH! And their SuperFinish Polishing Balm is KILLER. It literally does it all: defrizz, smooth, detangle, condition, adds shine, makes hair super soft and not only is it a heat protectant, but it’s also a UV protectant! A MUST!

SATURDAY + SUNDAY: AFRICAN BOTANICS (open internationally)

African Botanics’ offer: Early access to 20% off site-wide!

African Botanics will be offering 20% off site-wide for Black Friday next weekend, but with COVID delays, inventory has been low in 2020. Shop early and secure your faves at African Botanics this weekend only!

SATURDAY 11/21 + SUNDAY 11/22 use code: PREVIEW20 save 20% at African Botanics’ site-wide!

My fave here by far is their Resurrection Cell Recovery Serum. It’s a hydrating gel serum that’s formulated with retinol. Wear this under your nighttime moisturizer and get ready to turn back the hands of time. 

And that’s all, folks (but that’s like, A LOT)! Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Be sure to come back here next week for the FULL Black Friday + Cyber Monday roundup too!
