Give Me Cosmetics fans race to nab £35 box with makeup and skincare worth £70
Retailing at £34.99 but brimming with products valued up to £75, the box encompasses nine items across skincare, bodycare and haircare. Inside, you'll find full-size shampoo and conditioner, one of their viral Glazed Lip Oils, exclusive Give Me merchandise, plus a surprise assortment of beauty treats, all presented in a festive birthday design.
The Glazed Lip Oils, featured in the box, were the first-ever makeup product launched by the brand earlier this year. The launch was celebrated with a towel-clad photoshoot at Liverpool's renowned Pier Head, which received widespread acclaim for 'celebrating real beauty with real people'.
Offered in 12 shades, the Glazed Lip Oils merge skincare and colour in a nourishing, non-sticky formula that hydrates and shines. Beauty writer Jada Jones tested them out earlier this year and commended the metal applicator for its 'pleasant cooling sensation'.
She added: "Mocha Motive strikes the perfect balance between pigment and gloss. I would suggest having a cotton bud or wipe handy as application can get a bit messy, but overall, I'm a big fan and I foresee myself reaching for Mocha Motive more than any of my other oils or glosses."
Whilst Give Me Cosmetics has revealed some details of the box, the precise shades and certain specific items remain unknown. This might create anticipation for some customers, others may prefer to know exactly what they're purchasing.
In that case, they might favour the brand's Full Haircare Set. Valued at £67.93, the hair collection is priced at £19.99, featuring seven full-sized hair products designed to restore dry and damaged hair in one convenient set.
Meanwhile, their skincare mega bundle is valued at £185.81, but has been slashed to £64.99. From enriching creams to exfoliating tools, beauty enthusiasts can rest assured knowing their skincare regime is sorted.
They're not the only retailer offering excellent value, however. The OK! Beauty Box contains 11 products. Ten of these are full size – including a cult favourite Medik8 serum. The worth totals over £210, yet the box typically costs £59.99 to purchase.
In other beauty bargain news, it's certainly worth exploring Rodial's outlet section, which frequently features full-size skincare products (including anti-ageing powerhouse formulations) reduced by up to 87%, simply because the packaging is damaged or unboxed.
An anti-ageing component that's long been rumoured to be favoured by Princess Kate is bee venom, and you'll discover plenty of it in Rodial's Bee Venom Moisturiser. Typically retailing at £150 for a 50ml pot, you can purchase it out of the box for £90, representing a 40% discount.
However, Give Me Cosmetics truly is a beauty brand gaining momentum. What began as a single-person venture in 2017 with merely four products has since expanded into a 450-strong product range, dispatching over 2.7 million orders worldwide. Based in Liverpool, the brand has received backing from celebrities including Michelle Keegan, Rita Ora, Emma Bunton, and Nicole Scherzinger.
Its standout product, the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask, continues to be a global bestseller with over 1.5 million units sold to date. Commenting on the mask, Michelle Keegan said: "I'll be honest, I've never heard of it before, didn't know if it was going to work. I used it once and the results were amazing. Took it on holiday and haven't stopped using it since."
Whether you're a devoted fan or keen to sample some of Give Me Cosmetics' products at an affordable price, the Limited Edition Birthday Mystery Box offers shoppers just that opportunity. However, it's worth bearing in mind that this is a one-off release, and once it's sold out, it's gone for good. Shoppers can check out the deal on the Give Me Cosmetics website.

Kate Cassidy shares she wears Liam Payne's clothes to bed in emotional grief update
Liam Payne's girlfriend took to social media to share how she is coping with the loss of the former One Direction star as she urged people not to judge how others grieve Kate Cassidy got emotional as she opened up to her followers online while talking about grief. Kate has been open about her struggles since the death of boyfriend Liam Payne last October. The former One Direction star tragically plunged to his death in a hotel in Buenos Aires. He had been in the country with Kate just days before his death, but Kate had headed back to the US when the tragedy occurred. Now, as she continues to try to come to terms with his passing, Kate shared a candid Instagram upload to try to help others deal with grief. She revealed she is often asked on the social media platform about Liam's death and how she copes with his loss. And she decided to answer a number of the queries, getting emotional when she mentioned the singer's name. She began by saying she was hoping to help others deal with their grief by sharing her thoughts. She said grief feels like "a world that you wake up in and it doesn't make any sense anymore, especially when you lose somebody so suddenly and unexpectedly you almost have such a hard time forgiving the world for ripping that person away from you." She went on to say she sometimes feels "numb," while other times it can be emotional. And she admitted she feels as though her personal grief will last a "lifetime". "Grief does not come with an expiration date," she added. "It's not something you learn to get over, it's something you learn to carry with". Responding to a question regarding grieving in the right way, Kate said: "This question resonates with me a lot because there is no handbook or no guidelines to grief. Everybody deals with it a different way." She opened up on her own daily changes, admitting she often feels like different ways can help her. That includes "being in sweats" or "dressing up". Kate went on to urge people not to judge those who grieve differently. And she admitted she copes in a number of ways, including by "wearing my loved ones' clothes to bed". She also said reading old letters and notes can help her. "It makes me feel so much more attached to him. Reading something in somebody's handwriting makes you hear their voice in your head while you're reading it so that helps me a lot. "And looking through old photos and videos. It doesn't always have to be sad. Grief is a reminder that you were able to experience love." As she tried to continue, Kate clearly got teary-eyed as she stuttered: "And I'm so lucky to have experienced that with um, Liam." Liam and Kate met in a scenario straight out of a rom-com, when the then-ordinary waitress served the megastar at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2022. For Liam, the attraction was immediate, and he asked for her number straight away. She told fans of their sweet love story as she previously shared a TikTok of the moment. And Liam told his fans he "never felt a love like I do for Katelyn," adding: "We make each other better people."

‘Cherish bonds of love and friendship' over summer, says Kate
The Princess of Wales has encouraged people to 'cherish the bonds of love and friendship' over summer in a message celebrating the warmest season. Kate made the comments as part of Kensington Palace's quarterly Mother Nature video series, which was posted on Instagram. The Princess launched the series in spring as a celebration of the changing seasons across the UK. In a personally signed caption to the post on Instagram, Kate wrote: 'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. 'It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature. 'Here's to Summer. C' A group of ballet dancers from The Royal Ballet School, who performed in a Westminster Abbey carol service hosted by Kate last year, are featured in a section of the video that was filmed in Richmond Park. In the voiceover to the video clip, Kate says: 'Summer is a season for abundance. Just as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we too are reminded of our own potential for growth. 'It is the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our own creativity, passions and dreams. 'As we bask in the sunlit hours, friends and families come together; playing, connecting, being present. Embracing the joy to be found in even the most fleeting of moments and shared experiences. 'Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. 'So open your hearts; sing, dance, play. 'The days are still long, so simply love, and be loved.' Locations featured in the clip included Sheffield, Bradford, North Wales and Anglesey, and the south coast.

Edinburgh Fringe venue apologises for letting gender-critical Kate Forbes speak at event
An Edinburgh Fringe venue has apologised to performers for allowing Kate Forbes, the gender-critical deputy first minister, to appear at one of its events. Summerhall Arts issued an apology to other performers at the venue for its 'oversight' in allowing Ms Forbes, who backs single-sex spaces for women, to be interviewed on stage last week as part of The Herald newspaper's Unspun Live series. Several artists at the venue are performing shows with gay or transgender themes, and some set up a 'safe room' because they claimed to have been 'terrified' while Ms Forbes was in the building, the Daily Mail reported. Managers apologised to performers and said that they would develop 'robust, proactive inclusion and wellbeing policies that would prevent this oversight in our bookings process happening again'. Ms Forbes, a practising Christian, said she 'unequivocally' backed single-sex spaces amid Sandie Peggie 's employment tribunal. Ms Peggie, a nurse, is suing NHS Fife for unlawful discrimination over sharing a changing room with a trans doctor. Ms Forbes, who is standing down in May, also said she would not have backed the Scottish Government's self- ID legislation had she not been on maternity leave. Responding to the row, she said: 'As I stated at the event, I fervently believe in freedom of speech. Any effort to cancel people, especially politicians, undermines democracy. 'Many people attended The Herald event and it is important that we could freely discuss and debate matters in a respectful manner. I respect and acknowledge the fact that in a liberal democracy there are people who will agree with me and others who will disagree with me. 'That is all the more reason to create events where the audience and journalists can question politicians openly, as The Herald did.' It comes after The Stand comedy club was forced to reinstate a show featuring Joanna Cherry, a gender-critical former SNP MP, in 2023 after she threatened legal action for discrimination. The venue had initially tried to cancel the event because of her views on trans issues. In its about-turn, the Fringe venue accepted its initial decision ' constituted unlawful discrimination ' against Ms Cherry. 'So coddled' Speaking to comedian Matt Forde for his Political Party series taking place at the Fringe, Ms Cherry said it was 'shocking' that staff at Summerhall Arts 'are so coddled that they need to have a safe room provided for them when Kate came to speak'. She added: 'It's shocking that a venue has effectively said that the deputy first minister of the country is not welcome there.' Ms Forbes is not banned from the venue, The Telegraph understands. Women's rights campaigners said a refusal to allow Ms Forbes – or anyone who shares her views – to appear at the venue would be 'against the law' for the same reasons Ms Cherry cited in her battle with the Stand two years ago. Marion Calder, a director at For Woman Scotland, told the Mail: 'They clearly haven't taken legal opinion on this. Why on earth would members of staff and other performers be scared of a young woman having 'dangerous' thoughts? 'Summerhall is renowned as being one of the largest Fringe venues: what is this saying about the Edinburgh Fringe if free speech doesn't exist and this appearance is intolerable? And who are these arbiters who think some people are not allowed to have thoughts?' Gender-critical belief, that a person cannot change sex, has been treated as a protected belief under the Equality Act since 2021. Ms Calder also questioned why performers at the venue were not equally 'up in arms' about the appearance of Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, who said he too supports single-sex spaces. Ms Forbes, who announced that she was stepping down as an MSP at next year's Holyrood election last week, appeared at Summerhall on Aug 7. During the interview, presenter Andrew Learmonth claimed that there were people in the building 'who didn't want this show to go ahead'. Those people, the journalist said, complained to management and wanted the event to be cancelled because they 'didn't like what they think of your views, particularly around gender, sex and trans issues'. 'Prevent this oversight happening again' A source at the venue told the Mail: 'This event was booked as a series of long-form interviews before the guest list being confirmed. 'Summerhall Arts' primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of the artists and performers we work with, and going forward we will be developing robust, proactive inclusion and wellbeing policies that would prevent this oversight in our bookings process happening again.' The source added that the venue had informed artists ahead of the event. Shona Robison, the finance minister, supported Ms Forbes and said she disagreed with the venue's decision to apologise for hosting the deputy first minister. She told LBC: 'We need to be tolerant of each other's views. I know Kate Forbes very well. I don't think it sends the right message.'
