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.

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.
