I've been a fashion and beauty editor for just over 10 years now, so I really have honed the art of hunting down the very best deals on the best products. It's not just part of my job, it's also something I've done for friends and family for years – not to mention for my own sake. While Black Friday lands on 29th November, you've probably noticed that most sales start much earlier – in fact, a lot are already underway. If you're looking to stock up on the best Black Friday beauty deals, I have to tell you that Amazon's Black Friday Sale is one of the very best options available – and it's already begun.
I know that endless promises of discounts and reductions can feel overwhelming, which is why I've spent a lot of time today scrolling through Amazon's beauty deals, in order to find the only options worth your time and money. After all, this isn't about buying extra stuff you don't need for the sake of it, it's about making considered purchases of products you genuinely use, saving you money in the long-run.
There's over 20% off top-rated hair tools from ghd and Shark, huge savings on my favourite foundation from L'Oréal and even discounts on products loved by the likes of Kim Kardashian – she swears by this Color Wow spray for frizz-free hair, and there's now nearly 30% off. There's also reductions across brands like Garnier, Weleda, CeraVe and Medik8, meaning you can add elite skincare to your beauty routine for much less than usual.
Let me help you cut through the noise of thousands of products and bag the bargains that are actually worth it.

The ghd straighteners are an iconic hair tool for a reason: they really do work better than any others. I have fine curly hair, so styling it to be straight is usually a real pain. When I use these, however, my hair is sleek and glossy in half the time and it stays like that all day (unless, of course, it rains). This pair is now under £150 in the sale, so I'd suggest you add to basket before they're gone.

This spray is the secret behind Kim Kardashian's sleek hair, as revealed by her hairdresser, Chris Appleton. Apply it to wet hair and blow dry it in for instant results – hair will be shinier, smoother and without a hint of frizz. It even makes hair waterproof, so if you get caught in the rain, you don't need to worry – your hair will be as perfect as when you first styled it.

If you're not yet familiar with the Shark 5-in-1 hair tool, prepare to be very excited indeed. Rachael Martin, beauty editor, has tested this styler multiple times and maintains that it is worth all of the hype it gets. She says: 'The set features 5 attachments that allow for easy curling, straightening, volumising, defining and smoothing. And good news, as it dries and styles without the need for extreme heat – the tool boasts impressive built in technology that measures heat 1,000 times per second ensuring consistent and gentle air temperatures. It's certainly handy if you’re someone who styles your hair frequently and wants to minimise the risk of damage.'

I use this every day on my sensitive skin and it removes make-up better than most cleansers I've tried. I only need a small amount on a cotton pad to wipe away even the toughest mascara and my face always feels super-clean afterwards. I do often follow up with a cream cleanser, too, just to ensure my face is as free from dirt as it possibly can be (I live in the city!). It's more than half price less than usual, too, so I really will be stocking up on this today.

While I haven't yet tried this product personally, many of my friends have said that it's one of the best cleansers they've tried. One of my friends, who has combination skin, said it's extremely hydrating and leaves skin feeling really smooth and radiant. Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, which brightens skin, cocoa butter breaks down any build-up of oil while also soothing skin and giving moisture.

This is the kind of product which, once people try it, they don't stop raving about the results. Georgia Scott, commercial content writer, says: 'My skin is pretty used to active ingredients, as I often incorporate an AHA exfoliant or a splash of vitamin C into my skincare routine but retinol is a slightly different ball game. Despite my concerns, I gently introduced my skin to Medik8's Crystal Retinal 3 and was thrilled with the results. If you are often intimidated by retinol, this one is perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin to avoid any irritation or dreaded pealing. Once you've graduated from No. 3, you can progress through the range to ensure your skin builds up immunity to avoid any unwanted reactions other than super glowy and fresh-looking skin - and don't forget SPF. Simply apply once a week before bed and start to see results, just like I did.'
I have talked about this product to anybody who will listen – it's that good. I am extremely lazy when it comes to moisturising. I'm always really good at completing my facial skincare routine but, while I love the idea of being the type of person who has time to shower, moisturise and still be ready on time, I am normally in such a rush I leave the house with wet hair. Thankfully, I found Curél's Moisture Spray, which does exactly what that name would suggest. I really do just spray it lightly all over, rub it in and then I'm ready. I have been using it for about four months now and it's made my skin softer and smoother. I sometimes even spray it over make-up halfway through the day when my face feels dry or skin looks dull. I will be buying several cans now that it's on sale.

I'm really not exaggerating when I say that I can't live without this foundation. I mean, obviously I could, but I wouldn't want to go anywhere because it makes my skin look about 400 times better than usual. I have used this product for years – I live in fear of it ever being discontinued – and, while I've been lucky enough to try countless luxury foundations for my job, I've never found one I like more than this. It's lightweight, which I love, as I hate dense or cakey foundations, but still offers a good amount of coverage. Granted, if you're a full coverage, super matte finish kind of person, this may not be for you, but I find that it's the perfect everyday base. I've had so many people ask what I use on my skin and the answer is always this.

It can be difficult to find an SPF that offers full protection (SPF50+) and the promise of a glowing complexion, but that's exactly what this Garnier product does. Georgia Scott, Grazia's commercial content writer and beauty obsessive, tried this earlier in the year and said she loved the results: 'I got my hands on this Glow Fluid version of the product and, as someone who wears SPF daily, I was instantly super impressed with how light the formula felt on my skin. At first, I was concerned that the tint was too dark for my skin tone but in fact it blends out into a sheer, glowing base that reminded me of Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter. One of my essentials when shopping for a new SPF is that the product needs to feel light on the skin, and not only does this fluid feel lightweight but also super hydrating.'

I know this isn't the sexiest of beauty buys but I have to tell you it's saved my skin, so any time there's an offer on, I will take advantage. In winter months, especially, this is a God-send, offering deeply healing hydration to prevent skin from becoming cracked and dry. My dry skin got so bad at one point that only prescription creams from the doctor would relieve it – until I tried this. Now, I can't be without a tub of this at home, so I'm very happy indeed that's it's on sale today.

Often, we're lured into thinking that the more expensive a product, the better it is. That's not always the case, though, especially when it comes to skincare. This CeraVe cleanser is proof enough – it's always under £15 but is now even more affordable thanks to Amazon's Black Friday deals. Chloé Burcham, a beauty editor with years of experience, says it's the one product she's never without: 'While salicylic acid is known for its ability to temper breakouts, this cleanser is also great for dry, dehydrated skin types. It cleanses deep into my pores without stripping skin, and that's thanks to CeraVe’s patented triple ceramide complex, so it doesn't deplete your skin's essential moisture levels.'

If you want a quick skin saviour, this is what you need to make a play for. It's loved by our beauty editors for plumping properties.
Aimee Jakes, trending content editor says, 'One product I rely on for a glug of hydration is L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Serum, which is my secret for instantly plumped and dewy skin. It's recommended by many dermatologists for its surprisingly superior skincare ingredients, which include macro and micro hyaluronic acid molecules for multi-layered skin boosting. It's also a permanent fixture in many celebrity's bathroom cabinets, with everyone from Molly-Mae Hague to Eva Longoria touting its plumping benefits.'

Dry, curl or straighten with this Revlon 3-in-1 hair styler. Its one-step technology lets you dry and style without having to un-plug and re-plug different tools. Its ceramic tourmaline ionic coating helps to reduce frizz and heat damage.
Renee Washington, digital fashion and beauty assistant says, 'This is my favourite heat styling tool, you can create different hairstyles with ease thanks to the multiple attachments. Plus, it gets through my coarse hair from root to tip in seconds.'

The infamous hairdryer brush, loved by beauty mavericks, is now on sale. This heat tool effortlessly transforms hair from wet to blow dried minus the heat damage.
Rachael Martin, beauty editor says, 'I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sample of the ghd Duet Blowdry back in April. Since then, it’s become integral to my hair routine. I've managed to whittle down my wash days to just twice a week and I've used this as the perfect excuse to get to grips with the tool over the past few months. I apply it to towel dried hair, initially rough-drying and then creating volume at the roots via a combination of tension and heat - I'll hold it in place for around 3 seconds. I'll then pull the brush through in a twisting motion to create the blowdried finish - the smaller the section the more pronounced the curl and the bigger the section the more voluminous the finish. I’ve also used it to refresh my dry hair for special occasions - but not without a hefty dose of heat protectant.'

Not only do world-renowned celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber swear by the product, but celebrity make-up artist Katie Jane Hughes uses the rich moisturiser as her base on her celebrity clients.
Georgia Scott, beauty and fashion product writer says, 'If you're like me, the constant search for a product to instantly soothe my dry, lacklustre skin is never-ending and, if there's one product that dominates the world of beauty, it has to be Weleda's Skin Food. This affordable, skin-loving moisturiser delivers serious hydration while leaving your skin with the perfect glowing base for make-up.'
