Target

Busting through Target's doors on Black Friday is the best way to work off a Thanksgiving feast, especially when there are serious gadget deals at stake. This year, start your postturkey exercise early, since Target stores will open Thursday, Nov. 22, at 9 p.m. I repeat, Black Friday sales at Target actually start on Thursday, as in, Thanksgiving Day. No pressure.

So plan ahead, and hit the bull's-eye before the rush by checking out these amazing Black Friday (or, Thursday) tech deals at Target.

Target is stepping it up when it comes to beauty. The store is expanding its multicultural offerings in hair, makeup, and skin care in nearly half of its locations. In some stores, WWD reports, the updated diversity initiative will reach over 36 feet of shelf space — up from only eight feet not too long ago. Featured brands include Shea Moisture, Mixed Chicks, Camille Rose Naturals, The Jane Carter Solution, Milani, Iman, Moco de Gorila, Shea Radiance, and Tio Nacho. The items are budget-friendly, too, ranging from $3 to $22. It's clear that Target is reaching out to a multicomplected, multiethnic, and multifaceted beauty base — and we love it.

It's no secret we live in a crazed digital age where there's an app for ordering car service and same-day "fashion emergency" deliveries — but the latest trend? Shoppable videos. Target just joined the revolution, enlisting Kristen Bell and Nia Long to help them kick off their first shoppable romantic-comedy short film called Falling For You. Practically everything you see in the film, styled by celebrity stylist Jen Rade (also known as Angelina Jolie's red carpet go-to woman), will be available for purchase — over 110 clothing, home, and beauty items from Target's Fall collection to be exact. While we haven't quite mastered the shop-while-you-watch thing, we're definitely intrigued. The movie will be debuted in three five-minute episodes on Oct. 2, Oct. 4, and Oct. 9 at Target.com/FallingForYou, and will remain online while supplies last. Check out the movie trailer below.
