In the year we shopped online more than ever before, we can't help but be interested in what everybody else has been buying, too.

From the best face masks for every skin type to the best hair dryers for an at home blow dry, our focus has very much been on DIY beauty treatments we can do in the comfort of our own homes. 

Case in point: John Lewis has just released its Beauty Bets report for the year ahead, featuring the best selling beauty products of 2020, and you'll definitely spot some of your favourites in there.

Unsurprisingly the John Lewis beauty advent calendars sold out in record time, with the John Lewis Discovery Beauty Box also selling out in just six hours, and various at-home beauty treats also made it onto the best sellers list. 

Intrigued as to what everyone has been adding to their virtual baskets? Keep reading for some of the most popular beauty buys that John Lewis has to offer.
