Cyber Monday has returned for another year and we've got our bank card ready to do some serious shopping. One destination that's top of our list is Cult Beauty, which unveils a seriously special series of discounts year on year.
The retailer is offering up to 25% off some of the biggest names in beauty heavily discounted: We're talking Summer Fridays, Medik8, Augustinus Bader, Kosas, Hourglass and more. This is officially your last chance to snap up on everything from your everyday foundation to that fancy highlighter you've been eyeing up for weeks.
The real appeal of the Cult Beauty Cyber Monday sale is that its discounts apply almost entirely site-wide, meaning you can side-step the dodgy neon eyeshadow palettes and head straight to the products you know you'll use day after day (or night after night, in the case of this clarifying BHA toner that should really be top of your list when discounts drop).
Not sure where to start? We've got you covered. When faced with such big discounts on so many covetable brands, it’s all too easy to lose your cool, panic, and emerge with 10 different lipsticks – and you don't need us to tell you that this is good for neither your bank balance nor that carefully Kondo'd dressing table.
So, we’re here to help you cut through the options and emerge victorious with some perfect purchases. It's quality over quantity, remember.

Head to Natasha Denona for long-lasting pigments and wearable shimmers, or over to Patrick Ta for a versatile mix of metallics, mattes and pearl toppers. You also can't go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury's pillowtalk quads or Vieve for buttery soft shades.

Highlighters have come a long way in recent years, and today's best formulas work to impart a dewy glass-skin radiance that looks wholly believable. Fake your way to a great skin day with these shimmer-free secret weapons.
Look no further than Tower28 for a balmy, blendable formula without a hint of glitter,
try Westman Atelier's creamy stick format for an iridescent finish, or Rose Inc for a subtle opalescent sheen. And of course, no highlighter list would be complete with one of Pat McGrath's Skin Fetish powders.

This year's skincare gift sets are especially generous. On our list has to be the Nars Afterglow Liquid Blush Set for a dewy glow, along with the Summer Fridays Travel Buddies duo for hydrated skin next time you step onto a plane. We've also got our eye on the Sunday Riley Complete Routine for a luxury skincare kit for less and the Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm duo for hydrated, high-shine lips.
