When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the last official day of the Black Friday sales. Traditionally, it was a special day reserved for online shopping – but now, of course, the entire sale can be shopped online. This year, Cyber Monday falls on 1 December – that’s your last chance to shop the deals. In the past, we’ve seen some of the biggest price cuts on tech during Cyber Monday.

When Sarah Jones, beauty buff and assistant IndyBest editor, shared her in-depth review of the Maybelline sky high mascara, she raved about the tiny bristles that line the wand, which she found “helped comb through each and every lash – yes, even those pesky ones right in the corner”. You can pick it up for just over £7 right now.
