Whether you need to stock up on your favourite make-up and skincare or are looking to discover something new, the Boots £10 Tuesday is the time to do it. Each week, the retailer slashes the price of its big-name brand products to just £10, which is often a huge saving on the usual RRP. In previous weeks, we’ve seen a Mac prep and prime lip pencil reduced, as well as a skincare expert Caroline...
Few products have caused such a furore in the beauty world like the Dyson airwrap. First launched in 2018, the multi-functional hair tool rapidly reached cult status owing to its ability to blow-dry and smooth, curl or wave all in one go, producing a salon-quality look at home. Last month, an all-new revamped styler was released. Of course, we got our hands on one with our tester stating that...
Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a skin condition in which your hair follicles are blocked with a build-up of keratin, causing small, painless bumps, usually on your arms, thighs or bum (though they can occur elsewhere). It’s a totally harmless condition but can’t be cured, so if the texture or look of your skin bothers you, there are products that can help. The dream combination when it comes to...
Every skincare ingredient has received its fair share of hype, but salicylic acid more than deserves it. A clinically proven warrior in the face of acne, this is a BHA worthy of its reputation. Whether it’s compounded in a cleanser or serum, its power lies in its exfoliating properties. Salicylic acid is oil soluble, so it can easily penetrate your skin, unclog pores and reduce sebum production –...
With cold days and long dark nights here to stay, for most of us, trying to get out of bed every morning is one of the most dreaded tasks. Who wants to leave that snuggly duvet when it’s pitch black outside? But enter the duvet coat, and the struggle should hopefully ease just a little bit. These cosy jackets are the next best thing to walking around in your bedding all day – and wouldn’t that be...
Shapewear isn’t for everyone – and it certainly doesn’t need to be used to conform your body to any kind of silhouette if you’re uncomfortable wearing it. However, if you’re firmly in the “pro” category and love it for its confidence-boosting capacity – or you’ve never tried shapewear before and are looking to dip a toe to see what all the fuss is about – then you’ve come to the right place...
Jean shopping can be a headache at the best of times. Throw in an ever-expanding bump to the mix and you’d be forgiven for wearing leggings for the duration of your pregnancy. Well the good news is, we’ve done the legwork for you so that you can confidently shop maternity denim from the comfort of your own home. When should I start wearing maternity jeans? Everyone’s bumps grow at different...
We spend around a third of our lifetime sleeping, so why wouldn’t we care what we’re wearing while we’re doing it? And, now the clocks have gone back and it’s dark when we get home from work, there’s very little stopping us hopping right into our jammies as soon as the door shuts behind us. Also, let’s face it, some PJs out there are just too pretty to only wear in bed, so we might as well get...
Eyelash curlers are a small but mighty make-up bag essential for lifting lashes and adding a lengthening effect. The handheld beauty tool can range in size and style, with popular versions including heated eyelash curlers and ergonomically shaped frames. You’ll find the most classic types have two plates which, when pressed together by closing the handles, curl and separate lashes. Within the...
Back in 2016, Dyson – the brand we all associate with high-end vacuum cleaners and powerhouse fans – made a surprise entry into the world of beauty with the launch of its supersonic hair dryer (£299.99, Argos.co.uk). It looked like something plucked from the future and promised intense power with minimal noise and heat damage. Then, two years later, it released what is arguably one of the most...
