Merging fruity and floral notes, this elegant fragrance is simultaneously rich and delicate. Top notes of fruits and berries add to the delicate floral heart of jasmine and lily, while cedarwood and vanilla provide a warm, sensual base. Now half-price, this is a great deal on an eau de parfum that lingers for hours on the skin.

With a saving of close to 50 per cent, this hair dryer is a top Black Friday bargain. We named a very similar Babyliss model best overall in our review of the best hair dryers. Our tester found that their “hair was less frizzy after using this machine, which has been designed with super-ionic technology”. They added that the “tool actually produces negatively charged ions that break down the water molecules without opening up hair shafts, creating a smooth, sleek finish.” The reduced model has the same function, so be prepared to reap these rewards.

Any Olaplex saving is sure to go down a treat, especially for those looking to fight frizz and battle breakage. This is one of the star buys from the Lookfantastic sale. And, if you’re wondering whether it actually works, we’ve written an in-depth review, sharing that “we found it to be a really effective at-home solution, so much so, we’d go as far as to say it produced results that were far better than other at-home treatments we’ve used in the past.”

With a 20 per cent saving, this eyeshadow palette is sure to go down a treat. As any beauty buff will know, Morphe is one of the best brands around when it comes to make-up, so this nine-pan palette is sure to be long-lasting while offering a range of soft, neutral shades.
Yves Saint Laurent touche éclat blur primer, 30ml: Was £33, now £24.75, Lookfantastic.com
(Lookfantastic)
Our beauty editor has shared her Lookfantastic Black Friday shopping list, and this YSL primer was one of the most prized picks. “This skin perfecting primer is one of my all-time favourite make-up buys,” she shared. Adding that “there are thousands of glittering gold specs that help to illuminate the face for a radiant glow while smoothing the skin’s surface and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Make-up lasts longer and my often shiny forehead looks more matte, yet not flat.” So a saving of 30 per cent is sure to be well received.

And, as Christmas is right around the corner, we’re making this buy as a failsafe for gift giving.
