'I'm a beauty editor. Here are the best products and brands to shop in the Cyber Monday sales.'

You guys, you guys. It's here. CYBER MONDAY. Who doesn't love a good discount?! Show me who.

And in 2022, it's bigger than ever - with more and more brands jumping on the sale and running outside of the official start date. Cheeky! We love to see it.

So, whether you want to pick up some beauty goodies for Christmas gifts, or have a few things on your wish list to check off (I'm lookin' at you, SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic), there couldn't be a better time to do it.

Watch: The Christmas gifts Mamamia got and gave that weren't all that great. Story continues below.

Have we tried this blow dry brush before? It's hands down the easiest way to dry and style your hair, for beautiful, big, bouncy curls. 

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, was $236, now $188.80.

You have to try Estee Lauder's cult ANR at least once in your life. Sorry, we don't make the rules. This lush hydrating serum tackles signs of ageing and is the perfect all-rounder. Grab it while you can!

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, was $41, now $32.80.

That Clinique lipstick that went viral on TikTok is on sale and it's an actual chameleon. A mix between a gloss and lipstick, it'll give you a completely personalised shade.

This popular vitamin C illuminating face primer is the easiest way to snag a dewy, healthy-looking glow. Perfect for summer.

MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, was $32, now $25.60.

A cult classic formula, MAC Velvet Teddy deserves to be a staple in your makeup kit. Creamy and with high colour payoff, it's one of those products you'll always find yourself going back to.

Benefit Gimme Brow, was $45, now $36.

Fuller looking brows this way, please! This little gem is hands down the easiest way to better brows. A couple of swipes and viola! Easy as pie.

Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette in 001 Universal, was $82, now $69.70.

I have this palette and it is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. And I reckon you'd like it, too! The highlighter is so dreamy.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, was $34, now $28.90.

Name a more popular cream blush. I'll wait. The shades are *always* sold out because everyone wants their hands (and cheeks) on it - so snap it up while you can.

Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette, was $103, now $82.40.

Is there a better time to splash out on a swanky eyeshadow palette? No. The answer is no. This shimmery number was one of the many Black Friday buys recommended by our friend and You Beauty podcast host Kelly McCarren - full of metallics and mattes, it's perfect for holiday season.

Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, was $54, now $45.90.

If you're anything like me, this is an absolute staple in your haircare routine - so it's time to stock up! You'd be a big silly billy not to.

If you haven't tried this, try it now. Obviously the gummy bear flavour is the way to go. Makes your lips hydrated and juicy. Simply just slaps.
