The £6.25 'streak free' self tan that makes it 'look like you've been on holiday'
Looking to get than sun-kissed glow without stepping foot off a plane? Then we know the one self-tan every beauty buff will need.
The amount of fake tanning products available to buy these days has significantly increased over the years. Long gone are the days of those cheap lotions that left a patchy and orange looking effect.
One that is said to provide a "streak free" glow within as little as "one hour" is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Mist (medium). It's currently a popular buy on Amazon where it is enjoying an incredible 50 percent discount.
Averaging a 4.3 rating based on over 3,000 reviews, this self-tan mist is worth £12.50 but is on offer for just £6.25. Considering Boots has it on offer for £8.33, while Superdrug still stocks it at full-price, it's a deal worth bagging ahead of summer.
With its "weightless" formula, this ultra-fine mist has been designed to be fast drying and non-sticky, with some reviews saying that it is "much easier" to apply than other formulas such as foams and lotions.

Product Description
Infused with a nourishing apricot oil, it doesn't just banish that dreaded 'biscuit smell', but it provides an even golden-glow that has some shoppers saying it makes them look like they have been on holiday.

While someone else added: "This is the cleanser of my dreams. Absolute perfection. It has a thick creamy texture that just glides over the skin. It removed all my makeup including waterproof mascara and it didn't leave my skin feeling stripped of all moisture.
"I couldn't detect any fragrance which I loved. My skin felt soft and nicely hydrated after using it. I will be buying this again and again once I use this one up."

One beauty buff praised: "Streak free, realistic tan. This is an excellent bronzer. I have tried a few self tanning body mists and this is without doubt the best. Simple to apply and it dries in less than a minute. Just one spray was enough for me and I had no streaks or certainly no smell which I was so pleased about.

"I like a pale tan but if you want it darker then just re-apply until you get your desired effect. A great beauty product that lasts for at least a week."
Someone else remarked: "Best kept secret! I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this. My face is always so very tired and dull but more importantly pale! I sprayed this very lightly over my face before I went to bed and I've woken up a new woman. No streaks, smells OK and makes me look like I've been on holiday. It looks very natural too."
Someone who wasn't keen on the mist formula wrote: "It may be personal preference but I tan quite a lot and mostly use mousse tans. I thought I would use this for a change as the reviews were good but I'm not really sold on it. May have to try it a few more times to get used to it but I do worry that the coverage isn't as thorough as using a foam tan and a mitt."
Nevertheless, someone else who was a fan added: "Excellent item makes you look like you have just returned from your summer holidays!"

Three savvy ways to enjoy top-quality wine without breaking the bank
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE weekend starts for many of us by popping the cork on a bottle of wine. But with a little know-how there are ways to enjoy top-quality plonk and make your drink go further, saving you money. 7 Use our top tips to enjoy great wine for less Credit: getty Here are some of those party tricks . . . LABEL THIS: When buying a bottle look out for wine labels which name the region as well as the country, recommends Co-op wine buyer Sarah Benson. She explains: 'This shows that the wine has been made from grapes from a much smaller region or area — often from regions that specialise in, or have a good reputation for, certain varieties.' Look out, too, for wines whose names have an extra word alongside the region, such as Italy's Classico Soave or Classico Chianti. It indicates a quality designation — meaning the wine is from a smaller area with stricter quality regulations. CHILL OUT: The bank holiday weekend is the perfect time to enjoy a crisp glass of rosé. But rather than popping ice cubes in your glass to chill your wine, add frozen berries, says Richard Bampfield, Lidl's Master of Wine. He adds: 'Whether it's blueberries, strawberries or raspberries, they keep your drink refreshingly cool and add a splash of colour, but most importantly, they won't dilute the delicate-tasting notes of the rosé as the frozen fruit thaws.' WASTE NO WINE: If you open a bottle and don't finish it, you can keep it fresh for another three days in the fridge, even if it is red or fizz. Sarah says: 'Using a thermos flask is a great way to store the wines once opened, as it helps to keep the wine fresher for longer.' Or try using leftover red wine to create a Spanish calimocho, which is equal parts red wine and Coca-Cola — an alternative to sangria and perfect for a bank holiday BBQ.

Standing desks can be pricey, though. Top-spec models can cost in excess of £500. But we've found one on Amazon today for just £59.49. It's a 120x60cm version of Devoko's white electric standing desk and, yes, you read that correctly, it is electric. Which is remarkable at this price.

I'm a beauty expert and save £320 a year laminating my own brows – the six steps you must follow to get the perfect look
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IF you've ever wanted fluffy, laminated brows but have steered clear because of the price, you can actually do them yourself for just £20 per year. An in-salon brow lamination appointment costs an average of £40 in Scotland, and you need them re-done every six weeks. 4 Laura Pearson has ditched salons when it comes to caring for her brows Credit: Laura Pearson 4 The beauty expert does her own brow lamination at home Credit: Laura Pearson This amounts to a whopping £347 per year. There's much better things to be spending that much money on, so do them yourself at home – it will set you back just £20 per year. When you're going to save that much money by doing it DIY, it's a no brainer, right?! The Covid pandemic, as bad as it was, still came with some benefits. One of those was that I learnt how to do much of my beauty maintenance at home myself. There is no need to go to a salon for brow lamination, as it's the exact same science as a lash lift – you are perming your hair to sit in a certain position. For brow lamination, this is pointing vertically upwards, instead of naturally horizontal. What you need is a £20 lash lift kit from Amazon and half an hour of your time. That one kit will last you a whole year if you re-do them every six weeks. I've been doing this since lockdown, and I get daily compliments on my brows. I'm a makeup artist and swear by £2.50 product in my six-minute glam routine It's an easy process to do it yourself and all you need is your lash lift kit, some cling film, micellar water, cotton pads and a brow brush. You can then either tint them, use a tinted brow gel, or leave them their natural colour. Here's my simple six-step guide to achieving salon-worthy brows at home... Step 1 Use the glue in the lash lift kit to coat your lashes, then brush them upwards with your brow brush so that they are stuck firmly in place pointing vertically upwards. Step 2 Using the No.1 Perm bottle in your lash lift kit, apply a layer of the cream over your brows, then cover your brows with cling film for 10 minutes. 4 The £20 Amazon kit saves Laura around £320 a year Credit: Laura Pearson 4 Laura shared her DIY brown lamination tips Credit: Laura Pearson Step 3 Remove the cling film and use a dry cotton pad to remove any excess cream. Wipe in an upwards direction so as not to disturb the direction of the hairs. Step 4 Using the No.2 Fixation bottle in your lash lift kit, apply a layer of the cream over your brows, then cover your brows with cling film for 10 minutes. Step 5 Remove the cling film and use a damp cotton pad soaked in micellar water to remove any excess cream. You should give them a good rub in all directions to make sure they are completely clean. Step 6 Use a clean brow brush to brush your brow hairs up. You'll be amazed at how they now naturally sit upright without the need for any brow gel. Apply some of the oil in your lash lift kit to your brows to re-nourish them as the kit is very drying on the hairs. Beauty maintenance costs a lot of money, especially if you do the whole lot – hair, nails, brows, lashes. And don't get me started on how much time every month I can spend in salons! With the current cost of living, any savings are very welcome. Try laminating your own brows at home and pop the £327 you've saved away for Christmas. Win-win! You can follow Laura on Instagram and TikTok for lots of beauty tips!
