Drowsy Sleep
I'm giving major grandma vibes in saying this, but since I've tried Drowsy's Sleep Mask, I haven't had a snooze without it since.

What is Black Friday?
Unless you've been totally out of the loop for the past decade, you likely know the answer to this. In short, it's the greatest shopping day of the year, where all your favourite brands and retailers slash prices across the board, just in time for Christmas.
When is Black Friday?
Traditionally, Black Friday falls on the last Friday of November marking this year's date November 29. But that's not all, the deals tend to extend all through the weekend and into Cyber Monday too, so you get a few days to scroll the sites.
Are Black Friday beauty deals actually worth it?
Erm, yes! Black Friday isn't just for new laptops and iPhones, it's also the best time of year to bag some epic beauty deals – as we all know how spenny beauty products can be nowadays.
Luckily, most brands participate in Black Friday by dropping the prices of its best-selling items by 20%, 30%, 40% and even 50%. We're talking names like Refy, GHD, The Ordinary and Sephora. So whether you're using the sale to stock up on your favourite items or to get ahead in your Xmas shopping, it's definitely worth scrolling through the deals. You won't be disappointed.
How to bag the best Black Friday beauty deals
There's something about a giant sale that makes us all lose our heads just a little. Be honest: how many times have you been seduced by a healthy reduction, only to come away with a haul of not-quite-right lipstick shades.
So, this year, it's time to shop smarter – and success depends on preparation. In the lead up to Black Friday, make a list of the things you really need (or really want), and stay laser-focused on locating those items. Do not be distracted by that nude eyeshadow palette (we know you've already got at least seven).
