Although an American tradition, over recent years Black Friday has taken the UK by storm, starting off weeks of amazing offers before Christmas and the well-loved New Year's deals begin. Beauty, homewares, baby products and food, I've created a list of the best Black Friday deals for 2016! This list will be updated throughout Black Friday and over the weekend for Cyber Monday, so make sure you check back for any updated deals and new offers!

November is well underway and Christmas is creeping closer and closer. It's time to start prepping, buying your Christmas gifts and planning the big day itself. When December 1st comes around, there's no better way to countdown to Christmas than with advent calendars. Chocolate, candles, beauty, you can find an advent calendar from your favourite brands and spend each day in the run up to Christmas Day being treated to something special.

Over the next week I'll be sharing my top picks of all the advent calendars covering food, lifestyle and beauty - today I'm sharing my top picks of the beauty advent calendars on offer this year. Be warned, there are some gorgeous spoilers ahead! Will you be opening up a beauty treat each day in December?

Clarins has been one of my favourite skincare brands for as long as I can remember now and I have always loved the ever-evolving skincare range, with products that actually show a real benefit to my skin. The Instant Eye Makeup Remover is the ultimate eye makeup remover, never failing to remove every last trace of makeup. The Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner is my favourite toning lotion ever, incredibly effective yet very gentle on the skin, and the UV Plus Anti Pollution SPF is probably the best SPF I have ever used. That's just the skincare - we all know I'm a big fan of Clarins makeup too.
