'I tried this Belissima 2-in-1 hair styler to create the perfect beachy waves for summer'
I've always been a fan of the crimped, waved hair look - the sort of style you can achieve by plaiting your hair before bed - but I've never found an easier, hassle-free way of achieving the same style on a whim, until this hair waver. From the iconic brand Bellissima, this hair waver is perfect for creating beachy waves or a tight crimp in a matter of minutes.
Acting has two separate hair stylers in one simple gadget; this hair styler creates long-lasting waves without any expertise or long, complicated instructions. And what's even better, it comes with an affordable price tag on Amazon.
My new Bellissima MY PRO 2 in 1 Hair Waver lets you achieve natural-looking beach waves in a short period of time. Suitable for all hair types, this first-generation styler delivers lasting tousled waves that create a relaxed and effortless look that is sure to blend seamlessly with any style for any occasion.
This waver boasts heat control technology that ensures consistent, damage-free results. Its temperature settings are super easy to adjust to match any hair type and styling needs. I have relatively short, very fine hair, though because it is naturally curly, it struggles to hold styles over long periods of time without the help of hairspray.
After using this gadget, my bleached hair felt sleek and smooth without feeling dry or brittle. I tested out each temperature setting. I found the higher the heat, the longer the waves stayed in my hair, but I didn't need to worry about any heat damage. What's more, it takes me around 10 minutes to achieve an all-over beach wave style, removing extended styling times that can be long, arduous and uncomfortable.
Thanks to this device's ceramic-coated barrel, the wave provides even heat distribution while working to minimise frizz and protect hair from damage. Delivering visibly smoother, shinier, and healthier-looking waves every time, this machine provides a flawless finish with minimal flyaways or frizz. This innovative styler offers the benefit of 2 styles in 1 as the barrel head to be swivelled around, depending on what sort of wave you'd like to create.
Armed with a lightweight and ergonomic design that offers ease and comfort while in use, this lightweight styler features an ergonomic handle for effortless manoeuvring without risk of it slipping or falling. Whether you're a pro or a beginner (like me), this hair styler offers a painless and hassle-free way to create beautiful waves in a short period of time, making it an ideal pick for daily use. I've used it multiple times, day after day, and have yet to find that my shoulders ache or my wrist hurts, though due to the short and thin hair I have, styling is a lot faster than I imagine it would be if your hair is substantially thicker or longer.
Boasting a super fast heat-up that makes it a dream for last-minute or rushed jobs in the morning before work, this waver is ready to be used in just a few seconds, saving time and extra stress. This gadget also comes with an automatic shut-off feature that provides added safety, making it convenient and secure for both quick touch-ups and full styling.
Normally retailing for £69.99, this hair styler is currently available for £48.88 while this Amazon deal lasts. It's worth noting that stocks are constantly dwindling, so you may want to hurry. If you miss the chance to score this waver while it's on sale, you can grab the Bellissima 2 In 1 Beach Waves for £89.99 from Superdrug or Currys.

Amazon shoppers ‘beyond impressed' as ‘crystal-clear' portable projector gets slashed from £130 to £45
KEEN to bring the big-screen experience home this summer? Head to Amazon. The online retailer has knocked down the price of a budget-friendly, portable projector by 65% – and it's got shoppers raving. Do enough digging through Amazon's deals pages, and you'll find sky-high savings on all sorts of tech, from portable power banks to over-ear headphones. This portable home projector is from a brand we in the Shopping team haven't come across before, and haven't tested ourselves. But it's racked up over 250 five-star reviews on Amazon, with buyers buzzing about its auto-focus and keystone adjustment features, as well as its cracking picture quality. This isn't some top-of-the-range projector that'll blow your socks off with all the bells and whistles - you'll have to spend much more on premium devices that offer 4K picture quality. But if you're after something to watch the odd film, catch the football, or a spot of gaming, it's a solid choice that leaves minimal impact on your wallet. The iWIMIUS Portable Projector is packed with a range of features that are pretty eye-catching, for a device that now costs less than £50. Its auto-focus and keystone correction are clever bits of tech that sort the image out for you, so you don't need to faff about adjusting it manually. It even has smart features to line the picture up perfectly with your screen and dodge obstacles like plug sockets or furniture that might get in the way. The sound's no slouch either - it's got built-in 20W speakers with Dolby Digital support, delivering audio that one customer has described as "clear, balanced, and surprisingly deep.' You can also use its two-way Bluetooth to turn the projector into a standalone speaker or hook it up to soundbars and other devices using HDMI ARC for that proper cinema surround sound. As for the picture, it looks pretty impressive for the price. It gives you Full HD 1080p resolution and can handle 4K content too, with an 800 ANSI brightness that keeps colours vivid and details sharp. Setting it up at home should be a doddle too. The adjustable base lets you tilt it up to 15°, so you can stick it on a coffee table or shelf and still get the right angle. Plus, it's small and smart-looking, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb in your living room or bedroom. It doesn't come with apps like Netflix or Disney+, but you can plug in a TV Stick or similar device to stream your favourite shows and films. Shoppers are loving it, with an overwhelming majority of reviews rating it at five stars. 'An excellent projector for those on a budget!" wrote one customer. "I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this little beauty but I am beyond impressed!' Another said, 'The picture is a lot better than I expected, really sharp and great vibrant colour. "Same for the sound – surprisingly full and loud, again with options to select different sound presets or adjust manually.' A third wrote: 'This projector delivers an amazing home theatre experience with sharp visuals, vibrant colours, and excellent performance. Crystal-clear picture quality.' Amazon's calling this a limited-time deal, so it's unlikely to stay this cheap for long.

So if your child is turning seven, then you'll only need to pay £7 for the toy. The minimum payment is £1 though so if your baby is under one-year-old then you'll still have to fork out a quid.

What to watch out for when buying toys online HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online: Shop early. Don't leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from. Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don't know and do your research checking reviews and where they're based. Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer's own website to check it's legit. Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age. Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments. Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
