After 16 years of working on women’s magazines, I’ve been lucky enough to try a lot of beauty products – some of them bizarre (I don’t think I’ll bother with eyebrow stamps or charcoal toothpaste again) – but many of them brilliant.
Being in the lovely position of getting to try skincare, make-up and hair products for free, I know an item is really good when I happily go out and buy it again with my own money. From Elemis Cleansing Balm to Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, there are plenty of products that fall into this category, and Black Friday is a great time to buy them, with hefty discounts on big brands.
John Lewis is one of the high street retailers embracing Black Friday this year, and the beauty department is awash with excellent bargains. From body creams to mascaras, hair tools to lip liners, here are some of the best grooming buys I’ve got on my list right now.

These eyeshadow sticks are foolproof – even the most make-up shy person can master them easily.

Having a posh handwash by your sink is an easy way to impress guests and give yourself a little boost of luxury every day.

Chanel lipsticks never fail to deliver, and I particularly like the nude shades in this range.
