There are no flat screens for me on Black Friday. The only thing that's flat is my body-stretched horizontally across my couch, sleeping off the tryptophan and pie from the Thanksgiving feast the day before. That doesn't mean I won't be shopping though. Oh, no-I'll just be doing it from my living room, online, where many beauty companies are offering exclusive items and great sales on some of your favorite products. Here's a round-up of some of the goodies to look forward to this weekend.

M.A.C. Grey Friday duo. To celebrate the busiest shopping day of the year, M.A.C. has launched a lipstick-and-nail duo in a limited edition shade-Grey Friday. The lipstick is black-grey with silver shimmer, while the nail polish is a silver suede pearl. Available online or at the M.A.C. store in Times Square.

Design your own palette with Laura Mercier. On both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Mercier is offering a discount on her custom compacts. Buy two select shades and receive the third free when purchasing the 3-well custom compact, or select four shades and receive the fifth and sixth free in her 6-well custom compact. Get your mom (or yourself), the exact shades she needs or wants-for a steal.

Sweet freebies at Nordstrom. The luxury retailer is offering gifts while supplies last on Black Friday. There will be 29 different gift with purchases from awesome brands like Giorgio Armani, Viktor & Rolf, La Prairie, Clarins, Estée Lauder, Kiehl's and Clarisonic to name a few (and we're not talking lame gifts, we're talking full-size blushes and lipsticks here). They'll also be offering a "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" offer on nail polish from Deborah Lippmann, butter LONDON, The New Black, and Nordstrom Nail Color.

Cyber Monday discounts on Coolway. This is the flatiron system that allows you to straighten your hair at a lower temperature, subsequently causing less damage (it won an Allure Beauty Breakthrough award this year). Well, on Sunday and Monday you can get it for 33% off, taking the full price of the system (the styler and the prep spray) from $200 down to $99.95.

Uber-good value on Urban Decay Lip Pencils. Urban Decay's chubby lip pencils are super pigmented, super opaque, super glossy, and come in a variety of shades from an everyday pinky-nude to statement-making deep plum. On Black Friday, you can get all seven shades on their website for $48. Do you know how much it would cost to buy all seven on any other day of the year? $140. Enough said.

Dr. Brandt gets into the holiday spirit. Dr. Brandt's line of products offers great results, but I'm not going to lie-they're a bit pricey. Head over to his website on Black Friday and you can pick up his "Take the doctor home with you holiday gift set" for 50% off. And on Cyber Monday it's all about the eyes with half off on all of the eye creams in his line including his Lineless Eye Cream and Time Arrest Eye Serum.
