8 best beauty gifts to nab on Black Friday 2020
Stock up for yourself or for the beauty junkies in your life
By Simone Wu -
No big parties. And definitely, no holidays abroad. This festive season might not be the same as before, but there’s still plenty to look forward to. Think shopping without the crazy crowds and queues, and small gatherings with intimate groups of close friends and family. After months of social distancing, we’re realising that every moment we have with them is a real gift.
Watch this video of the HW x Lancôme livestream event, where editor Ng Yi Lian chatted with Lian Meiting and Wang Wanting about treasuring precious moments, whether it’s bonding with one’s besties or kids, or simply treasuring time alone.
But if you really want to shower them with gifts, then the perfect time to kick off your festive shopping is on Black Friday, which falls on Nov 27 this year. With just a month to go before Christmas, it’s really not too early to start shopping for your favourite people.
(Psst, scroll all the way down for a promo code that's valid on Nov 27 only.)
