Dyson airwrap i.d. straight and wavy, pink and rose gold: Was £479, now £399, Johnlewis.com
The Dyson airwrap id took the top spot in beauty editor Laura Capon’s review of the best hot brushes. She said: “It’s the tool I have continued to reach for on repeat”. The “airwrap comes with five attachments, meaning you get a dryer, curling tong, smoothing brush, volumising brush, and a flyaway smoother all in one. I found all of the attachments easy to use and, thanks to the straightforward lock button, simple to swap out.”
“The dryer is surprisingly powerful and could even replace my existing hair dryer,” she added. “I loved the result, which lasted all day, with a little help from some hairspray.” At full price, it’s expensive, “but if you’re happy to splurge, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the results it will give you,” she noted.

You can currently save £69 on the future family heirloom in the cool mint colourway, thanks to John Lewis.

Shark flexstyle four-in-one hair styler: Was £269.99, now £199.99, Johnlewis.com
If you’re tired of multiple hair stylers cluttering up your dressing table, Shark’s flexstyle multi-tool combines the capabilities of a diffuser, hair dryer, hair curler, hot brush and hair straightener in one device. In my review of the Shark flexstyle, I found it to be one of the best airwrap alternative you can buy. Reduced by £70 at John Lewis, it’s now even more affordable than Dyson’s high-end alternative.

Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm: Was £52, now £44.20, Johnlewis.com
Melting away make-up and nourishing skin at the end of a long day, the Elemis cleansing balm is lauded by beauty editors. But the premium formula doesn’t come cheap – that’s why I’m always checking for a decent discount. Reduced by 20 per cent in the John Lewis Boxing Day sale, the formula impressed beauty expert Louise Whitbread. In her review, she wrote that “it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin", adding that it "smells amazing and is a swift and efficacious way to remove make-up”.
Clarins 12-day beauty advent calendar: Was £95, now £63.30, Johnlewis.com
While it may seem strange to shop for a beauty advent calendar now, they are notoriously expensive, so picking one up after Christmas is a good way to get the goodies inside the doors for less. IndyBest beauty writer Lucy Smith named this one from Clarins the best beauty advent calendar for glowing skin. Featuring the cult lip comfort oil (£21.60, Clarins.com) and the beauty flash balm, known for giving a youthful glow, the calendar focuses on skincare favourites from the brand. The 12-day calendar is worth £167, and thanks to the John Lewis sale, you can nab it for £63.30.
Oura ring 4, gold: Was £499, now £299, Johnlewis.com
This sought-after wearable has £100 off at a range of retailers, including John Lewis, taking it down to its lowest price. The latest iteration is “a huge step up from the gen 3 across the board – the design, battery life, features and in-app experience have all improved”, said The Independent’s fitness and wellbeing editor, Emilie Lavinia, in her review of the Oura ring 4. “The price of the Oura ring may put some people off, but I’d argue that this is a more lifestyle-led tracker than most. It’s a more valuable investment for regular people who want to take charge of their health, work with the AI coach, and share reports with their doctor,” added Emilie.
Giorgio Armani luminous silk foundation, 05: Was £47, now £37.60, Johnlewis.com

Kiehl's ultra facial cream, 50ml: Was £37, now £29.60, Johnlewis.com
This dermatologist-recommended product is 20 per cent off at John Lewis. When IndyBest beauty writer Lucy Smith spoke with Dr Cherry Armstrong in her guide to the best creams for psoriasis, she discovered that the oatmeal in this gentle moisturiser provides "soothing relief from itchiness and irritation," according to the GP dermatologist. Plus, it’s packed with the skin-loving benefits of squalane, avocado oil and salicylic acid.

You can save £100 on this coveted hair dryer in the January sales. This model uses sensors and other smart features to adjust heat automatically, based on distance from the scalp, improving moisture retention and preventing heat damage. In my review of the Dyson nural hair dryer, I said: “If you’re new to the supersonic range or in the market for a new hair dryer that will speed up styling time while keeping your scalp and hair healthier, Dyson’s nural is well worth the investment.”
Barbour Robyn oversized showerproof trench coat: Was £269, now 134, Johnlewis.com
