Fashion deal of the week
Ahead of the summer season, Urban Outfitters has just knocked £20 off a popular dress - and it's perfect for weddings.
The high street retailer's Light Before Dark Bex Printed Midi Slip Dress has rave reviews from shoppers who say it is "flattering in all the right ways". Usually retailing at £62, shoppers can bag it ahead of the warm spell for just £42.
The midi-length dress boasts a few "romantic" details that make it perfect for wearing to fancy functions you have planned. This includes the all-over rose print and delicate lace detailing that both add a touch of femininity.
With its slip-style silhouette, lightweight material and shoulder straps, it is the ultimate breathable and breezy layer for the summer season. A classy v-neckline, cut-out back detail, side zip fastening and rear button fastenings complete the design.
Designed in a baby pink colourway, the Printed Midi Slip Dress will suit pretty much all skin tones and shades. It's also still available in quite a few sizes, with XXS to XL available on the Urban Outfitters website.
The dress averages a 4.3 rating on the Urban Outfitters website, and one glowing review read: " This dress is so gorgeous on! Definitely hugs your figure soooo nicely."
A second delighted shopper wrote in their review: "Fits really well, perfect for summer wedding."
Purchase the Light Before Dark Bex Printed Midi Slip Dress for £42, down from £62, on the Urban Outfitters website here.
Meanwhile, someone who criticised the fit of the trainers wrote: "Nice trainer, however extremely narrow. Had to return."
However, another happy purchaser wrote: "My fourth pair of Puma Smash I think. Well made and with the low profile I like. The insoles are super comfy. These are perfectly fine for urban walking and the leather versions stay dry in the odd shower.
"Plus you can pick them up for less than the price of a pair of those leaky, uncomfortable, canvas shoes from another manufacturer."
Someone else praising the comfort said: "I use these shoes primarily for work and they're the comfiest shoes I own! I do a full 8 hour shift of my feet and they don't hurt at all when I wear these! 100% recommend they are also stylish enough for causal everyday wear."

How I achieve the perfect brows fast (with just this one product)

Whether it's the brand's signature hoola bronzer (£27.05, or porefessional primer (£18.99, many of Benefit's products have become much-loved beauty staples, but perhaps none more so than its brow heroes. From pencils that carve, define and polish, to waxes that sculpt and hold an arch in place, odds are you've had a Benefit eyebrow tool (or three) in your make-up bag at some point. Founded in 1976 by sisters Jean and Jane Ford (both were successful models and make-up artists at the time), Benefit Cosmetics has always been at the forefront of a pioneering, but playful, approach to beauty. Take, for example, its hoola bronzer – this was the first shimmer-free matte bronzer on the market when it launched 20 years ago, while the brand's 10-year-old roller lash curling mascara (£24.50, was inspired by hair rollers, capturing and curling every lash, for a dramatic flutter. Some of the brand's bestsellers can even be traced right back to the Seventies – see the rose-tinted lip and cheek stain, which was originally created for dancers as a nipple tint. But it's the beauty brand's brow roster for which Benefit is most loved and lauded. From the tinted and clear gel to the precisely brow pencil, the brand is the gold standard for creating salon-quality brows at home. When I first got into make-up as a young teenager, my mum took me straight to the Benefit counter, and I've been in a committed relationship with the brand's beauty products ever since – chiefly the precisely brow pencil. Helping you create the illusion of fuller brows, the precise tip lets you draw individual hairs while the brush tool buffs the formula, for extra volume. How I tested I've been using the precisely pencil for years. From application, the formula and staying power to the finished look, here's why Benefit's precisely brow pencil will always be a cult classic. Why you can trust us Daisy Lester is a senior IndyBest writer, she frequently writes about the beauty products worth buying. She has previously reviewed new launches and cult favourites, from Bobbi Brown's Jones Road gel eyeliner to Refy's new skincare range. She has, crucially, assessed Benefit's hero products before, to bring our readers the ones she thinks are worth buying. Sitting at the top of that list is the Benefit precisely my brow pencil, and this is her full, honest review.

Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault in landmark retrial

Harvey Weinstein now faces fresh prison time after jurors found he forced a woman into a sex act in 2006. Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of one count of sexual assault in his sex crimes retrial. The 73-year-old was acquitted of another, and jurors were as yet unable to reach a verdict on a third charge, reports the Mirror. ‌ Weinstein, who denies ever raping or assaulting anyone, sat emotionless in court as the split verdict was delivered. It marks a partial victory for both prosecutors and his defence, as the case continues to divide public opinion ‌ He denies sexually assaulting or raping anyone. His initial conviction came five years ago after the landmark #MeToo Movement. However, last year it was overturned. The case went back for a retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Now, the jury convicted the former studio boss of forcibly subjecting one to a criminal sex act in 2006. They also acquitted Weinstein of another criminal sex act charge from 2006. The jury remains in deadlock over claims he raped another woman in 2013. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a less severe penalty than the first-degree criminal sex act offence.

She has waived her right to anonymity. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to raping Mann and to forcing oral sex on two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokolo. He insists that he never sexually assaulted or raped anyone. His legal team claims the women were ambitious opportunists trying to boost their careers in the movie business. Mann told the court her relationship with Weinstein started consensually but turned abusive. Despite this, it continued for some time. Weinstein was convicted in 2020 of raping her and assaulting Haley, but that conviction was overturned last year due to concerns over how the jury was influenced. ‌ Sokola added her accusation last year after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Weinstein is also appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. All three women in the case have waived their right to anonymity. Weinstein is facing a retrial after New York's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction last year, ruling that prejudicial testimony had unfairly influenced the original outcome. He will be retried on two of the original charges; raping an aspiring actor in a Manhattan hotel in 2013, and forcing oral sex on a production assistant in 2006. ‌ A third, unnamed woman also came forward in this retrial with fresh claims. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is currently being held at Rikers Island, where his lawyers say he's endured shocking conditions. They've filed a $5 million lawsuit against New York City, claiming "substandard medical care" and unsanitary conditions.

I'm sick of mums forking out £70 for birthday cakes so DIY-ed one for my son with Asda buys for a fraction of the cost

Plus, a full list of where your kids can eat free this summer holiday THAT'S SWEET I'm sick of mums forking out £70 for birthday cakes so DIY-ed one for my son with Asda buys for a fraction of the cost WITH the cost of living continuing to squeeze household budgets, many parents are looking for ways to save money, especially when it comes to celebrations like birthdays. A birthday cake is often a centrepiece, but with many shop-bought cakes costing a small fortune, it doesn't have to break the bank. 2 Crystal managed to make her own birthday themed cake for her son Credit: tiktok/@ One mum has shown that you can create a fun, personalised cake for your child without spending a lot – and it can still be a big hit. Crystal, a mum who shared a video on her TikTok page @ revealed how she made her son's ninth birthday cake using budget-friendly items from Asda. Admitting she often leaves things until the last minute. She added: "But hey, we moved and he's gonna have a birthday cake no matter what.' Determined to make her son's day special, Crystal dashed to Asda before school pick-up and grabbed two of the budget Just Essentials by ASDA chocolate cakes, which costs £4.53 each. She also bought chocolate icing, Kinder treats, Happy Hippos, and other sweets. She explained: 'I can bake cakes but they come out shit half of the time, so I wasn't getting a chance at it today.' Stacking the two cakes on top of each other, Crystal got creative with her decorations, layering the cake with the icing. She then decorated the top of the cake herself, by adding her chocolate bars around the cake, as well as the Happy Hippos and Kinder egg surprises on top of the cake. She admitted she didn't bother decorating the back of the cake, as she asked: "Who's going to see the back of the cake?" before adding: "Well in all honesty I never bought enough of them straw thingies (Chocolate straws) to even decorate the back of the cake.' I DIY-ed a 'professional' level kids' birthday cake for less than £25 using Amazon & eBay buys - I didn't bake a thing Despite her self-deprecating humour, Crystal's efforts paid off. Once she put the cake into a box and revealed the finished product, she said: 'For some, you may look at it and think what a load of s**t. "But do you know what? When he's here, he was over the moon.' Within two days of her video being shared, Crystal went viral gaining one million views, and 1,681 comments as many people rushed to share their thoughts. One wrote: "Let's normalise this kind of cake over the £70 baked cake for birthdays!" 2 She bought two chocolate cakes from ASDA Just Essential section Credit: tiktok/@ A second added: "I'm gonna do this for my daughters graduation cake as I can't afford to get one done. "Going to get two plane cakes. Lob em together and add some decorations from Amazon. Bish bash bosh well done us mums." Whilst a third said: "The child will remember his cake, not how much it was. "You've saved money on cake for other things. Top mum."
