This affordable SPF is my daily go-to – and it has 50% off thanks to Prime Day
But with some of the best formulas on the market costing upwards of £30 for a small tube (we're looking at you, Ultra Violette and Supergoop!), I'm always looking for budget buys that can do the job just as well.
Enter: Garnier's vitamin C daily UV brightening fluid glow (a mouthful, I know). My go-to affordable tinted SPF, the lightweight formula has a creamy consistency that's easy to blend across your face, while SPF50 has all bases covered when it comes to sun protection.
Designed to be one-shade-fits-all, the cream gives your skin a glowy and lightweight coverage. The slimline tube is perfect for packing in your beach bag on holiday and topping up when you want a little more coverage after a dip in the sea.
The best part is that it costs a little more than £10 – but it's now even cheaper thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Whether you're jetting off on holiday, enjoying the first sunny days of spring or looking for a new everyday skincare staple, here's why Garnier's tinted SPF should be in your next beauty haul.
How we tested
Testing the vitamin C-infused formula alongside more premium products, I've worn it for beach days and office days. Considering the ease of application (whether with a brush, sponge or fingers), coverage claims, staying power, the look and feel on my skin, as well as its SPF credentials, here's my verdict on Garnier's tinted SPF.

How Peter Phillips' NHS fiancée is fast becoming one of the Royal Family's best dressed members: Harriet Sperling is upping her style stakes by embracing British brands
She's only recently made her way into the royal fold, but newly-engaged Harriet Sperling has quickly asserted herself as one to watch for royal fashion lovers. On Friday, it was revealed that Peter Phillips, 47, had popped the question to the NHS nurse, 45, after one year of dating - as The Firm announced it was 'delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement'. Harriet has been warmly welcomed into the Royal Family since debuting her relationship with Phillips at the Badminton Horse Trials in South Gloucestershire last May, when she donned a classic blue dress from Zara. The mother-of-one has since graduated from donning simple ensembles sourced from the high street to wearing eye-catching outfits from royal-approved brands. So, what's behind the change? According to Virginia Chadwyck-Healey, the former Vogue editor and rumoured fashion adviser to the Princess of Wales, various factors are behind Harriet's wardrobe shake-up. 'I can vouch that [Harriet] is stunning in the flesh and charming too, so there is a genuine ease to her demeanour, allowing her to wear clothes well,' Chadwyck-Healey told The Telegraph. 'I truly believe she is also happy, and that brings so much to an outfit, a person's stance and their confidence.' Her bright and bubbly persona aside, Harriet has also elevated her sartorial game by embracing brands favoured by her soon-to-be in-laws, including Peter's sister Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie. Among them is London-based label Beulah London, which has quickly become one of Harriet's favourites, and she's opted to wear clothes from the brand on several occasions including for Ladies' Day at Ascot. At the event last year, she looked effortlessly elegant in a pale pink Beulah London midi dress with bow detailing as she attended alongside Princess Anne's son. She dressed the ensemble up with a matching fascinator, a cream clutch bag and pointed kitten heels, proving that sophisticated accessories can elevate a look entirely. This year's Royal Ascot was no different, with Harriet putting her best fashion foot forward and opting to wear spring's most sought after colour - butter yellow. The paediatric nurse specialist was so in tune with royal fashion that her dress matched the yellow Monique Lhuillier dress Princess Beatrice picked for the occasion. Harriet's floaty belted frock was, again, from the socially conscious brand Beulah London. The brand's founders, Natasha Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan, were compelled to 'fight modern slavery' via sales from the label after they spent two months working in a factory in New Delhi with women who had been rescued from the sex trade. Harriet has not only wowed the public, but she's also got the attention of those who work in fashion. Harriet wore a Wiggy Kit blue linen co-ord to the Wimbledon Royal Box this year (pictured at the event with Peter) The founder of luxury womenswear label Wiggy Kit, Wiggy Hindmarch, described Harriet as a 'style icon in the making' in conversation with The Telegraph, adding that many others are attracted to her sense of style. Harriet donned a blue linen co-ord from Wiggy Kit when she took her place in the Royal Box at Wimbledon this year. The founder explained that Harriet possess the ability to best judge what colours suit her and what styles are most appropriate for any given event. Harriet, who lives in Gloucestershire, also seems to be fond of British brands. This became clear when she made her official royal debut in the carriage procession at Royal Ascot and opted for a cream balloon-sleeved jacket and skirt by Suzannah London in June. Cream and white hues are often a go-to for the Princess of Wales, who was seen donning an ivory Self-Portrait dress to celebrate Garter Day at Windsor Castle, along with a custom-made eggshell frock from the same brand at the women's final at Wimbledon a couple of weeks ago. Harriet also adores wearing British brands with a mid-range price tag, such as Me+Em, Wiggy Kit and St Clair, which allows the public to emulate her wardrobe. Dressing for sporting events seems to be her forte, as she was seen pulling out all the sartorial stops in a stunning sleeveless white midi shirt dress from St Clair to the Royal Charity Polo Cup at Guards Polo Club. She also does not underestimate the power of a good accessory. Harriet has elevated her ensembles with items such as Gucci sunglasses, diamond earrings and a burgundy rattan-style cross body bag by Anya Hindmarch. As a relatively new member of the royal fold, Chadwyck-Healey believes she does not have too much pressure to conform to rigid style rules as other high profile figures. The style expert said that while some brands may be wanting to offer her clothes to wear, it doesn't make it easier to become stylish - and it can actually make the reverse come true. Instead, she said that Harriet should do her best to seek out garments that allow her personality to shine through. The Daily Mail revealed insight into Harriet's family in June, including that Harriet's late father Rupert was the 'only son of Mr and Mrs Geoffrey Sanders, of Buckhorn House, Bisley, Gloucestershire'. Rupert, who died in 2023, was a well-known solicitor who ran his own firm in the Cotswold town of Cirencester. His father Geoffrey, Harriet's late grandfather, served during the Second World War with the Royal Artillery and was a D-Day veteran – reaching the rank of major, going on to become High Sheriff of Gloucestershire and a long-standing church warden, as well as editor of the Stroud News and Journal for 20 years. Harriet's paternal grandmother Eleanor was the daughter of Dorothy Courage of the Courage brewing dynasty. Dorothy's brother Raymond was Lord of the Manor of Edgcote, in Northamptonshire – an 18th century estate, once owned by Anne of Cleves (wife of Henry VIII). Harriet herself attended Dean Close School, a Christian boarding and day school, in Cheltenham. Announcing the news of their engagement on August 1, the couple said in a statement: 'Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement. 'Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement. No date has been officially set for the wedding.' The couple announced they will marry and showed her diamond engagement ring in an exclusive interview and photoshoot with HELLO!

I'm a royal fashion expert and this is Zara Tindall's most stylish outfit - as she's named in Tatler's Best Dressed List
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Tatler Magazine revealed its annual Best Dressed List earlier this week, and it came as no surprise that Zara Tindall made the cut. Ranked at number seven, Princess Anne 's daughter was recognised for her ongoing style evolution and increasingly refined wardrobe. Zara has truly found her fashion stride in recent years, consistently delivering polished, confident looks that reflect her bubbly personality. While she's had plenty of standout moments in 2025, one particular outfit made a lasting impression. On the opening day of Royal Ascot, Zara looked radiant in a custom sky blue dress by one of her go-to designers, Rebecca Vallance. Adapted from a ready-to-wear mini dress, the bespoke version featured a lace panel down the front and an elegant fit-and-flare silhouette that Zara wears so well. The piece was elevated with a classic collar, puffed sleeves and a charming bow belt, striking the perfect balance between timeless and modern. Though she previously wore the design at the Magic Millions carnival in Australia, she refreshed it at Ascot with a clever change of accessories. Working with her stylist Annie Miall, Zara opted for dusky pink accents, including an Anya Hindmarch Maud clutch and Emmy London Rebecca pumps - two labels also favoured by the Princess of Wales. Finishing the look was a coordinating hat by Sarah Cant and dazzling diamond earrings from Calleija. The overall effect was a chic, elevated approach to pastel dressing. Zara's outfit is the ideal inspiration for summer weddings, garden parties or race days. Even better? The shorter version is still available - and it's currently on sale. Inspired by the delicate lace detailing, I've rounded up beautiful blue dresses on the high street that echo the royal's look. You'll also find similar accessories, from coordinating heels and clutches to sparkling drop earrings, which deliver the same wow factor - at every price point.

Cara Delevingne on the new Topshop: ‘There's something for everyone'
Riding the escalator down to the basement floor of Topshop's Oxford Circus branch was once a rite of passage for British teenagers. Fledgling trend hunters from across the country flocked to the hallowed rails of 214 Oxford Street, where identities were shaped, first loves were forged and an epic number of very (very) skinny jeans were purchased. At 32, the supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne is just old enough to remember experiencing her own awakening at the now defunct store (an Ikea opened in its place earlier this year). 'You'd get off the escalator with a group of friends and Saturday would begin,' she tells me over the phone. 'I discovered my own sense of style among those rails. I'd look at something on the rack and I'd go, 'I don't really know if that's me but I'm going to try it.' It was there I learnt to take risks.' Topshop, which rises from the ashes at the end of this month with a new 2025 approach and, perhaps most crucially, a new owner (its former boss, the disgraced Philip Green, now most commonly spotted bobbing around on a superyacht in Monaco, is no longer involved), couldn't have chosen a more impassioned ambassador than Delevingne to lead its new era. The star, a regular in many of the catwalk shows that dominated its heyday era as well as the face of many an ad campaign, fronts the comeback campaign shot by Bartek Szmigulski, and has curated a collection of her favourite pieces. Among the highlights is an art deco black-and-white faux-shearling coat ('a statement piece you can wear with anything', Delevingne says) and the signature Jamie jeans ('I think it's time we brought back the skinny,' she adds). • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts 'It's all the things that I want in my wardrobe. Going from my twenties into my thirties, I wanted to kind of start dressing with a bit more thought. This collection lets me do that,' Delevingne says. 'You wear it with more Topshop or with vintage or other brands. Each piece stands out so much — there really is something for everyone.' Next year, the model, who has worked for some of the world's most prestigious fashion houses and starred in a handful of movies too, will continue her involvement in Topshop's great rehabilitation process, working on her own range with the brand. Snaring 'the super' is a statement of intent from Topshop, which is hoping that Delevingne's involvement in its comeback story makes fashion fans believe Topshop 2.0 is the real deal. 'Cara is original, she's creative and she's bold. Those are all the things that we want Topshop to be,' the retailer's managing director, Michelle Wilson, says. 'Authenticity is so important to us. We want to work with partners who genuinely love and care about the brand. Cara is absolutely that person.' Undoubtedly Topshop has its work cut out if it is to get even close to the glory days of high street domination, specifically 1998 to 2007 when, under the guidance of the brand director Jane Shepherdson (a legend in fashion circles), the chain was transformed into a globally recognised brand. The responsibility rests with the Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen, the owner of Bestseller, who bought a 75 per cent stake in Topshop in 2024 (it had been owned by Asos since 2021, when the e-tailer bought it along with fellow Arcadia brands Topman and Miss Selfridge). Asos has kept a 25 per cent stake and continues to distribute the brand and host Topshop products online, while Bestseller (through its parent company) will distribute Topshop to its partners across the globe, making world domination a viable possibility. Under Povlsen's direction, Topshop now has its own design team, which, as Wilson puts it, 'is its own space to tell the brand's story and to show its collections in the way we want to show them'. • Will Topshop really return to the high street? Part of the strategy is tapping into the nostalgia of those who miss the real-life experience of Topshop. This includes a catwalk show — the brand's first in seven years — on August 16, with members of the public present and customers invited to 'shop' the collection immediately. There's also an appetite to collaborate with designers in the way Topshop did in its glory years, helping to bolster the careers of young British talent (see Christopher Kane, JW Anderson and Richard Nicoll) with collaborations and London Fashion Week support. 'We think there's still a huge gap in the market for working with designers in this way. Customers love it because they're getting to interact with up-and-coming design stars. And, of course, it is a great platform for the designers as well,' Wilson says. 'We're trying to pick all the positives of what Topshop was and then set it up for success in the current retail climate. Our big picture vision is to be the go-to accessible fashion brand for tastemakers and to bring the best of fashion to everyone.' Among the objectives for 'new' Topshop is that customers do not consider it a fast fashion retailer. The brand sits within Asos's Fashion with Integrity strategy (a means to monitor factory standards and supply chains), and the price points are purposefully not at the budget end of the scale — customers can expect to pay about £50 for jeans and up to a £100 for a dress; premium ranges are also expected. 'I think there are other players that have entered the market with very cheap products that are targeting that teenage group,' Wilson says. 'A real testament to our success is going to be if, in ten years' time, people are still wearing and talking about products that they bought during this relaunch period in the way they do previous Topshop collections.' • Topshop is back to woo Gen Z Delevingne, who has been holding on tight to that Kate Moss for Topshop floral minidress for more than a decade, had the same realisation when trying on the clothes for the shoot. 'Each piece is purposeful. What matters now is quality over quantity,' she says. Having got the chance to road-test the collection at Glastonbury in June, the model is also convinced of its versatility. 'I wore the pinstripe trousers with the faux-fur jacket and was so excited to tell people that they were part of the 'new' Topshop collection. 'You can dress these pieces up or down and wear them for everything from a meeting to going out to lunch to hanging out at home.' Top stuff.@
