Kat | Skin & Hair Over 40

Walmart's Early Black Friday is Nov 12–15 — these are my picks from my own Walmart storefront. Walmart+ members get the hot deals a day early (Nov 12), everyone else Nov 13. The Dyson deals and the under-$25 gift sets are the ones I'd grab first.

My honest Black Friday picks — the deals actually worth it, no filler. You'll find Stanley Winter Radiance pieces, teen-friendly stocking stuffers and beauty minis, plus a few gifts I'm grabbing this year, including the STRAY KIDS HOP CD and Apple AirTags. Prices are as listed on the retailers — check them before you buy, as Black Friday prices can change fast.

My everyday Then I Met You favourites — the Giving Essence I never skip, the Snail Mucin Eye Cream, and the whole range. Up to 30% off for their Cyber Sale: VIP Early Access Nov 13–16 with code EARLYVIP, then the public sale Nov 17–Dec 1 with no code needed. Honest verdicts only — if it's here, I use it and love it.

My honest holiday picks — the gifts I'd actually want to give (and get). From stocking stuffers under $25 to the tumblers and treats on everyone's list, everything here is something I love and would gift myself. No filler, just favorites.

My actual morning routine — the cleanser, mists, essences and creams I reach for every single day at 40+. No 10-step nonsense, just the products that genuinely work for my skin, in the order I use them. Honest verdicts only — if it's here, I love it and I use it.
