I’ve got a feeling that the MAC Black Friday palette, Smokey Black Friday, is a US only variant that can be found on www.maccosmetics.com.
While Black Friday has traditionally been a US thing, even John Lewis here in the UK is getting into the swing of things. If you ever wondered where the term Black Friday comes from, it’s apparantly a relic from the ‘official’ start of Christmas shopping when retailers would start off with some discounts to get everyone out and about and into the shops. In order not to miss any of the deals, traffic – and tempers – built up, causing havoc. So, bleak moods and grungy traffic are the origins! I’d hoped it was something more exciting than that to be honest!
So if you want to get your hands on the MAC Black Friday Palette, you’ll need a Stateside friend and a calm and even temperament! It’s $25.

I hadn’t heard that origin story before – I thought it was called Black Friday because Americans start their Christmas shopping straight after Thanksgiving and that’s when a lot of shops finally tipped over from loss-making (“in the red” like old fashioned scary bank letters!) to showing a profit (“in the black”)?
However I can quite see dark moods and bad weather being an equally likely inspiration 🙂
Oh, by the way wanted to say thank you so much for the latest edition of the BBB Dreambox, mine arrived last Friday and every single item is fantastic – best ever, don’t see how you can top this one!
Cheers, Jo
The Americans get all the fun 😉
