REFY's Cream Bronzer is vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free and dermatologically tested, making it a staple for any holiday makeup bag.
But what do shoppers make of it?
One happy shopper said: 'I don't use a lot of cream products but this one was super beginner friendly!
'I've tried a few that have been hard to blend or splotchy, but this one goes on great and blends seamlessly. Love the colour as well.'
Someone else said: 'The shade Sand has a unique peachy undertone that surprisingly works for my fair- olive toned complexion.
'Formula buttery smooth, barely have to blend it which makes it quick and easy for daily use! '
Some people did have some views that there could be some room for improvement.
One person wrote: 'I love this bronzer. It is easy to apply, has a nice natural finish and has become my go to.
'My only complaint is that there is very little product and I hit pan within two weeks. Then again I am using it daily. Will buy again.'
Yet many people couldn't stop singing its praises, noting: 'Look no further, the formula of this cream bronzer is perfection. I have the shade Tan.
'I purchased immediately after watching Emilynoel83's demo. It is highly pigmented and gives your cheeks a plump and youthful look. I plan on picking up the coordinating brush as well.
'Absolutely love this, I'm so impressed. Looking forward to trying everything in the Refy line.'

New Instagram features explained including one which may worry parents
The app is receiving a much anticipated update, with one particular feature that may spark concern for parents. Social media platform Instagram has updated its features to include three new elements that fans have long been asking for. People with Instagram accounts will now be able to 'repost' their friends' pictures and Reels (the video section of the app), as well as see each others' locations through the new Instagram Map. Meta, Mark Zuckerberg's company that owns Instagram, announced the news on their website yesterday, August 6. As well as adding in a repost feature, users will now be able to share their location through Instagram Map, similar to rival social media platform Snapchat's SnapMap. But this particular new feature could worry parents whose kids or teens use the app. The company said on its website: "Today, we're launching several new ways to help you better connect with your friends on Instagram. People have always come to Instagram to share what they're up to and where they are. "Now, with reposts, the map, and the 'Friends' tab in Reels, it's easier for you and your friends to stay in touch through the content you're enjoying on Instagram." But what exactly are these new features, and should parents be worried? Here's a rundown of all Instagram's newly added elements and how to use them. What are the new Instagram features? Reposting pictures and Reels With the new update, users can repost public Reels and posts, which Instagram says makes it easier to share interests with friends. This new repost feature will also appear as a separate tab on the app, so users can easily go back and revisit the content they have reposted in the past. Reposts are credited to the original poster. For creators, this means that when their content is reposted by someone else, it may be recommended to that person's followers, even if they don't follow the creator directly. This gives creators an opportunity to reach even more people, Instagram says. Sharing location with the Instagram Map Users have the option to opt in to sharing their last active location with friends of their choice, and they are able to turn off the feature at anytime. Those who have the location feature turned on can also open the map to see content their friends and favourite creators are posting from interesting or fun locations. Instagram says: "No matter how you use the map, you and your friends have a new, lightweight way to connect with each other." But while this feature may spark concern in parents whose kids or teens use the app, Instagram is assuring that their new map has strict controls which parents can access. They said: "If you're a parent with supervision set up for your teen, you have control over their location sharing experience on the map. "You will receive a notification if your teen starts sharing their location, giving you the opportunity to have important conversations about how to safely share with friends. "You can decide whether your teen has access to location sharing on the map and see who your teen is sharing their location with." To set up supervision for your teen's account, Instagram has a step-by-step guide on its website. New 'Friends' tab in Reels The new 'Friends' tab in Reels allows users to see the content their friends and peers have liked, created, reposted or commented on, and easily start conversations about them. Instagram concluded: "Friends will help you see which reels the people you care about most are creating and engaging with. We started rolling Friends out earlier this year, and are now excited to launch it globally." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Rare coin collector warning over 1p coin 'worth £5 million'
One person who is always quick to alert people to these gems is Coin Collecting Wizard, a keen coin collector who has more than 30,000 on Instagram. Usually, he will be flagging rare coins that you may potentially have in your wallet that could make a pretty profit. However, the Coin Collecting Wizard recently took to Instagram to issue an important warning about a new rare coin scam that is circulating on social media. Viral posts have been widely shared that claim a 1p coin from 1971 could be worth as much as £5 million, but it is not true. The Coin Collecting Wizard explained: 'You've probably seen the viral posts claiming that a 1971 1p coin is worth £5 million… but let's get one thing straight: It's NOT true. It's NOT rare. It's NOT valuable. 'Millions of 1971 pennies were minted — it was the first year of decimalisation in the UK, so they made loads of them! 'These coins are incredibly common and are worth exactly what it says on the tin: 1p. 'Please be careful — there are scammers and fake posts circulating online, especially on social media and dodgy websites, trying to convince people they've got a fortune in their pocket. 'These are designed to trick you, either into handing over money, personal info, or just chasing fake dreams. 'Always double-check with reliable sources. If it sounds too good to be true… it probably is.' Five Incredibly Rare and Valuable British Coins What makes a coin valuable? The 50 pence piece has become the most valued and collected coin in the UK, with many collectable designs appearing on its heptagonal canvas. Its 27.5mm diameter makes it the largest of any British coin, and allows space for decorative pictures. It has often been used to celebrate big events over the past 50 years of British history. The rarest coins tend to be of the greatest value, with the mintage (number of coins with each design made) being the fundamental attraction for collectors. Recommended Reading: Along with the design, other aspects of the coin which increase value are the condition of the coin and whether it has an error in its design. The way in which it is sold can also determine the coin's value - while some coin collectors will bid vast amounts of money on eBay or at auction, others opt for more robust valuations by selling via a coin dealer. Royal Mint top 10 most valuable 50p coins Here is a list of the top 10 most valuable coins, when they were made and how many were minted:

Outlander star Nell Hudson reveals childbirth left her 'broken in two' as she shares graphic hospital snap after welcoming a baby girl with Max King
Nell Hudson has spoken out about her traumatic childbirth experience after welcoming her first child with producer husband Max King. The Outlander star, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal she had become a mother, sharing a sweet snap of her baby girl's hand and calling for 'a new word for love' to describe how she felt towards her daughter. Yet it wasn't all smooth sailing for the star, who admitted giving birth had left her 'broken in two' and shared a snap of her blood-stained hospital bed. She wrote: 'I can't believe everyone ever was given birth to by a woman and we all just go around like it's normal, 'MOTHERS - I am in awe of all of you. I am broken in two in the best possible way. It's a girl. Need a new word for love.' Nell's pregnancy had come as a surprise to the couple, with the actress previously revealing that her due date had ended up being the same day she had planned to marry Max. It wasn't all smooth sailing for the star, who admitted giving birth had left her 'broken in two' and shared a snap of her blood-stained hospital bed in an Instagram post on Wednesday Speaking to Wedding Edition last month, Nell admitted 'divine intervention' occurred after the couple had settled on July 26 as their wedding date. She recalled: 'In November, with some surprise but mostly a lot of happiness, I discovered I was pregnant. Max (my now husband) and I showed up at our first antenatal appointment full of nerves, squeezing hands as the midwife calculated how many weeks gone I was. '"So you're due date is…." she said, squinting at her computer, "Saturday the 26th of July!" We had to laugh. Well, there went the plans for that version of the wedding. 'In the end, it all turned out to be a blessing, and we decided on a much smaller, family-only affair than the original celebrations we had planned.' Nell and Max, a producer and brother of celebrity hair stylist Larry King, tied the knot last month in a small family ceremony. The Worcestershire-born actress wore a ruffled white gown with delicate tulle sleeves and a dramatic tiered A-line skirt. With one hand resting gently on her bump, the bride looked every inch the glowing mum-to-be. Her husband, Max, stood proudly beside her in a classic black double-breasted suit and silver tie. Fans and fellow co-stars flocked to the comment section to congratulate the star, with former Call the Midwife co-star Jennifer Kirby joking: 'I was like "wait… people do this ALL THE TIME?! MULTIPLE TIMES??" ❤️ congrats darling x' She shared snaps on Instagram, captioned: 'First little look at some wedding pics ❤️. 'What can I say that hasn't ever been said it really was the best day ever. More to come soon.' The couple announced their engagement in March last year while on a romantic getaway in Paris, with a photo of them smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower. Last month's post included credits for her glam team, with makeup by Devon Windsor (@devonmakeupgirl) and hair styled by her new brother-in-law, of course using luxury clip-in extensions by Tatiana Karelina. Nell, who found fame as Laoghaire MacKenzie in the hit Starz series Outlander, has also appeared in ITV's Victoria and Channel 4's The Irregulars. She is the daughter of author Cressida Connolly and stepdaughter of the late journalist A.A. Gill, who died of cancer in 2016.
