LookFantastic enthusiasts are eagerly grabbing a beach bag brimming with treats, just in time for the summer holidays, including a popular summer fragrance. The Sol de Janeiro The Sol Tote + Body Essentials set is available for £45 on the retail giant's platform.
The set includes travel-friendly sizes of three iconic products with the Sol de Janeiro caramel and pistachio scent Cheirosa 62, all packed in an exclusive mini canvas tote that would look splendid on the beach. It features a 90ml bottle of the body spray, which typically sells for £24 per bottle.
But there's more in the tote. It also contains a 50ml tub of the much-loved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, a rich and creamy body butter infused with guaraná extract, cupuaçu butter, açaí oil and coconut oil, providing a nourishing and hydrating boost to the skin.

For those aiming to enhance their skin's firmness, the set includes a 12ml bottle of Firmeza Body Oil. Like the Bum Bum Cream, it utilises guarana along with caffeine, microalgae extract and Brazilian olive oil, which collectively work to smooth out skin tone and texture.
While there are other sets on the market offering travel-sized goodies, this appears to be the only one accompanied by a themed tote. Beauty Bay offers a £22 set featuring bronzing drops, a bronzing moisturiser and a perfume mist, all packed in a clear storage bag, reports the Mirror.
Similarly, Boots has a Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready for £32, which also includes Cheirosa 62, albeit in a smaller 30ml bottle.

It's worth bearing in mind, however, that the hair and body mist occasionally receives criticism for lacking the longevity of competing products on the market, requiring fairly regular reapplication.

'I've never used dry shampoo but I broke that rule for this pocket-sized powder alternative'
Shopping Writer Meghan has never used dry shampoo to avoid aerosol sprays and white casts left behind, but this powder alternative she found has 'been a game-changer between hair wash days' I know a lot of people who have relied on dry shampoo to get through that last stretch before hair wash day, but it's never been something I thought I'd use. I don't like using aerosol products if I can avoid it. I've seen the dreaded white powder left behind from popular drugstore dry shampoos, and my hair is so thin that anything remotely heavy just sits on top of it, making it plainly obvious there's product in my hair without doing the job properly. I thought I'd never use dry shampoo—until I tried this Hair Gain Peptide Puff Dry Shampoo, a powder alternative to aerosol products that is completely weightless and doesn't leave behind that white residue, even on my thin hair. And what's more, it's budget-friendly at £15 from Lookfantastic, Cult Beauty, or All Beauty. My new non-aerosol, volumising dry shampoo effortlessly absorbs grease and oil while caring for your hair and scalp in between washes, without leaving weird textures and smells behind. It comes in a pale pink, pocket-sized compact and is equipped with a padded puff dispenser for precise application at home and on the go, with no need to spray. Just tap, puff, and refresh - it's that simple and effective. I barely even noticed the fine powder coming out of the puff when applying it, it's that weightless and light on the hair. Retailing at £14.99, this powder dry shampoo adds volume, body, and texture to dull locks for a just-washed finish that isn't emphasized by white residue left behind. It instantly absorbs oil, sweat, and odour, boasting an advanced Peptide Complex with Biotin and Caffeine that works to nourish your hair and style it. I've found it's the perfect go-to for reviving a dull style or keeping my hair looking fresh out of the salon in the days between hair washes. Suitable for all hair types and gentle on the scalp, this non-aerosol dry shampoo comes in a small and convenient container, ideal for taking on the go, whether on a trip away or in your handbag for a long day. I've found it's especially useful for nights spent away when you don't have time to do your whole haircare routine the following day, as it's perfect for giving my hair a pick-me-up that makes me ready for whatever plans I have that day, without spending half an hour in the shower. But it isn't just me; plenty of shoppers are singing the praises of this powder alternative from Hair Gain, which was a finalist in the Pure Beauty Awards 2024. One 5-star reviewer remarks: "Amazing dry shampoo. This is the best dry shampoo I have ever used, I've tried tons of different sprays and they never actually worked whereas this little beauty really does!! It absorbs all grease and leaves hair soft and shiny, I can't recommend this enough if u have fine hair that normal dry shampoo doesn't work on." Another buyer beams: "Great product. I was offered the chance to try this before it was released and it was honestly game changing. Ive always wanted a dry shampoo isnt a spray. It smelled lovely, it was easy to apply and easy to throw in your bag as its travel sized. I was able to control where the powder is applied to tackle areas that needed a freshen up. Id use this again for sure." And the same sentiments are shared by this shopper who says: "Absolutely love this. I have always attempted to use aerosol dry shampoo and failed at every try, it just make my hair worse. I was sceptical with this one also but I was so surprised, it was absolutely brilliant. Very easy to apply and honestly lasted all day, I even used two days in a row as I was so busy, it was a lifesaver. The small bottle is deceiving a small amount goes a long way. 100% recommend." You can pick up my new go-to dry shampoo powder from Lookfantastic or Cult Beauty, where it sells for £15, or head to All Beauty, where (at the time of writing this) it's available for the discounted price of £11.45.

Thrifty shoppers are snapping up Jo Malone's iconic scents for a fraction of the price
Jo Malone London is a firm favourite when it comes to luxury fragrance, but it's not always the most affordable option. However, shoppers can now get two of the brand's most iconic fragrances for less than £20 Sephora customers are rushing to purchase Jo Malone's legendary fragrances for £18 when they buy a travel set. The Jo Malone London Lime Basil and Mandarin and Pomegranate Noir Travel Cologne Duo is priced at £36 and includes two of the brand's most celebrated scents. Lime, Basil and Mandarin delivers a zesty citrus experience, beginning with a vibrant blend of lime, mandarin orange and bergamot. The middle notes shift to a more herbal direction featuring basil, thyme, lilac and iris. The foundation combines vetiver and patchouli in an understated finish, reports the Manchester Evening News. Pomegranate Noir presents itself as a unisex scent frequently characterised as elegant with fruity herbal accents. It bursts forth with vibrant red fruit notes including pomegranate, rhubarb, plum, raspberry and watermelon. This evolves into a rich floral and spiced centre featuring clove, pink peppercorn, guaiac wood, frankincense, opoponax (delivering sweet balsamic warmth), rose, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The foundation blends amber, musk, Virginia cedar and patchouli in perfect harmony. Whilst the collection hasn't attracted many reviews on Sephora, those received have been overwhelmingly positive. One customer commented: "Have always loved these perfumes but can't afford a larger size. Having these two travel sized ones together was affordable. They are so heavenly to wear. I'm loving them and my partner loves smelling them on me." Another buyer noted: "Bought as a present! Service was great and the goods arrived safely on time." Pomegranate Noir has racked up 821 five-star reviews on Sephora, with one shopper saying: "This is such a lovely fragrance and I get so many compliments when I wear it. This is a must. You can not beat a classic!" Lime Basil & Mandarin and Pomegranate Noir Travel Duo Product Description Another raved: "Oozes elegance from the fragrance to the packaging. Lifts your mood and makes you feel special. The large bottle goes a long way as this fragrance does 9-5 as we go back to some sort of normal. The fragrance is not for the shy amongst us as this attracts compliments." However, on John Lewis' website, one four-star review of the set reads: "These were perfect for holiday where I wanted to carry less. Nice to have two different fragrances. The only negative is that it wasn't gift wrapped like it said, I originally bought it as a gift but kept it for myself as it was just loose in the box." The scent is also beloved in candle form, so it's worth bearing in mind that some customers might find it reminds them of a home fragrance rather than a personal one. If shoppers fancy something comparable in a bigger size, then 142 by The Essence Vault, which costs £26.95 for a 100ml bottle, is reportedly similar to Pomegranate Noir. For those who are prepared to splash out more, then Armani's Passione Intense Eau De Parfum is on offer from The Fragrance Shop for £102. Fragrance fans can now snap up the Jo Malone London Travel Cologne Duo, boasting both Lime Basil and Mandarin and Pomegranate Noir Cologne, from Sephora for £36.

Sephora shoppers queue overnight for 12 hours as new store opens in the Manchester Arndale
Hundreds of people queued up for the opening of a Sephora in Manchester this morning - with one couple sleeping overnight to be the first to experience the new beauty store. At the very front of the line was make-up fan Frances, 19, who was accompanied by Shiv, 20. They had been camping in the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre since 8:50pm last night. The pair, from Barnsley, West Yorkshire, had had no sleep between them, running on one red bull and a few coffees. They only left the queue to go to the toilet in Walkabout bar. Frances, who works as a teaching assistant said: 'I missed the Trafford Centre opening because I was working, so I was so annoyed. But I knew I wanted to make this one.' The UK's tenth Sephora follows on from the brand's first Greater Manchester store, which opened inside the Trafford Centre last year. Kait Turnbull brought her 10-year-old daughter Ruby who she called 'beauty obsessed'. They woke up at 5am to arrive at 5:45am and even got stuck in the Arndale car park. The mother said: 'We got in and then because it's so early and the shops aren't open yet the lifts wouldn't work and we were stuck.' Ruby has previously visited the Trafford Centre Sephora store as well as the one in London. She said she is most looking forward to trying the new Sol de Janeiro fragrance - Sundays in Rio - and anything Tower 28. Kait joked: 'I'm just the chauffeur and the credit card.' The Sephora fan said she was most looking forward to securing a Charlotte Tilbury Contour Stick, but that she wanted to browse the whole store and didn't know what she might end up with. By 9am, there were 400 people in the queue which snaked across the ground floor of the Arndale shopping centre, and by 10am there were more than 500. Michelle Kirkbride, from Doncaster, brought her daughter Jessica to the Sephora opening since they missed the store opening at Meadowhall - which would have been more local to them. This will be the first Sephora store they have visited in the UK, with Jessica adding: 'I want to look at everything.' Jessica and Michelle have visited Sephora a few times in the US, including in New York and Florida, but they are excited to have one that's more local and to be able to attend the opening day. Throughout the morning, staff members handed out little samples and goodies to the committed beauty lovers, including makeup, skincare, Sephora-branded bucket hands, and giant fingers. During the Trafford Centre store opening in May 2024, people waited in the queue all night to be the first through the doors to secure one of the goodie bags, which were set out for the first 800 shoppers. For the Arndale opening, Sephora changed its approach, and customers were told the traditional 'first in line' model would be replaced with a new Sephora 'Beauty Bonus Card' mechanic, which would give more shoppers the chance to win. Throughout the opening weekend, every customer who makes a purchase will receive a Beauty Bonus Card which will give shoppers the opportunity to win one of eight incredible prizes on the spot, including a Sephora goodie bag, a mystery lucky dip, free 30-minute makeup services plus more prizes. The new store has taken over 4,618 square feet on the lower ground of the Arndale next to other beauty giant, Superdrug. The unit used to be home to the H&M-owned fashion retailer, Monki, which shuttered back in January after occupying the space for almost seven years.
