The early Black Friday beauty deals our editors are already loving - and why we recommend them

Why we recommend it:

"I hate taking off my makeup, but this remover almost makes me look forward to it. One of the best cleansing balms on the market, this melts off makeup and residue in seconds, without leaving any oily or sticky residue behind. It doesn't feel heavy or irritate the eyes - and for the price, I think it's a routine must."

Why we recommend it:

"These Caudalie self-tan face drops are a must within my skincare routine. Infused with hydrating grape water, this formula is the secret to a healthy, natural-looking complexion - even in the winter months. Plus, you can customise them to suit your preferences of a sun-kissed finish."

~ Sennen Prickett, Beauty eCommerce Writer

Why we recommend it:

"I try a lot of different moisturisers as part of my job, but whenever my skin is flaring up or just feeling dry from the cold weather, this is the one I open up. It's super moisturising but beautifully lightweight, leaving skin soothed and comfortable without any shiny sheen on top. Plus this nifty set comes with a spare refill!"

~ Aleesha Badkar, Beauty eCommerce Editor

Why we recommend it:

"I recommend La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Balm B5 to everyone, it’s a multi-purpose staple that I’d urge everyone to keep their skincare arsenal equipped with - even more so if you have sensitive skin. Enriched with skin-soothing ingredients, this gentle formula is great at intensely hydrating, cooling and repairing damaged skin barriers."

~ Sennen Prickett, Beauty eCommerce Writer

Why we recommend it:

"I hate that one of my favourite haircare tools costs £450; please know that I would not wax lyrical about a tool this expensive if it wasn't so integral to my hairstyling regime. Drying and styling hair straight, or creating a stretched blow dry in very curly and coily hair, it makes light work of the task. My naturally loose curly hair is dried straight and smooth in record time, feeling soft and with just a hint of body – and aside from the odd quick refresh, that smoothness lasts until my next wash. Though it can only rough dry or simultaneously dry and straighten, it's my go-to for styling my hair straight or the pre-smoothing step before I tong in some loose waves. Though it's still a big investment, if you've slowly been saving up you'll be pleased to hear there's currently a £150 discount on the Airstrait over at Sephora."

Why we recommend it:

"As well as being naturally curly hair is very, very frizz prone. Sometimes people look puzzled when I tell them this, and that's because Color Wow's Dream Coat is one of my go-to humidity shields to keep any of my smooth hairstyles smooth. I love the Extra Strength version, which I can rely on during times of humid or damp weather, but the original is still excellent – and you can always count on it being featured among the best Black Friday beauty deals."

~ Lucy Abbersteen, Contributing Beauty Editor

Why we recommend it:

"There is a reason why this pre-shampooing hair mask sits on a metephorical pedestal in the beauty sphere. It manages to deeply moisturise even fine strands without weighing them down, giving my hair an unrivalled level of bounce that few other hair products can achieve, if any. (For very coily and curly textures, there's also an Extreme edition for more intense nourishment.) If you've been dying to try it, take this and the £13+ discount available at Amazon right now as your sign from the universe to do so."

~ Lucy Abbersteen, Contributing Beauty Editor

Why we recommend it:

"If you were to ask me what my signature scent is, my answer would be Narciso Rodriguez’s For Her Intense every time. It’s musky yet sweet and feminine, making it the perfect sensual fragrance. Not to mention, it’s the only perfume brand that gets me compliments each and every time I wear it - even multiple hours after initially spritzing it."

~ Aleesha Badkar, Beauty eCommerce Editor

Why we recommend it:

"My position on hyped-up luxury mascaras is skeptical to the point of suspicion - budget buys are usually just as good. However, I only had to try this once to see what the fiuss was about. It’s a tubing mascara, meaning it is impervious to smudging, even on hooded eyelids and oily skin (I have both) but, unlike every other tubing mascara it is magically able to create a dramatic and glamorous look with bags of length and a decent helping of volume. I have no idea how, but I also have no interest in questioning the magic, I’ll just stock up with this 20% discount instead."

~ Fiona McKim, Beauty Channel Editor

Why we recommend it:

"A staple for me, this sets make up in place quickly, layers without drying the skin and keeps shine away without too matte of a finish. A cult product for a reason."

~ Aleesha Badkar, Beauty eCommerce Editor

Why we recommend it:

"Santal 33 may be Le Labo’s most popular scent (arguably a little too popular), but for my money, Thé Noir is the true connoisseur's choice. It’s got a bit of everything you could want from an autumn-winter perfume - ripe, sticky figs and smoky black tea, plus a jolt of citrussy bergamot at the top that’s quite the enlivener on dark mornings. This brand rarely discounts, too, so a little 10% sweetener courtesy of Liberty is one to take advantage of."
