Boots announces two beauty advent calendars for 2025 – and the waitlists are open now
Even with the rise of dedicated shops like Sephora and Lookfantastic, every beauty obsessive has trodden the hallowed halls of the beauty aisles at Boots. Despite stiff competition, it remains a key retailer, and Boots' beauty advent calendars are no exception. That's right: this year, the high-street retailer has launched not one, but two Christmas countdowns: the 24 beauty stars luxury advent calendar (£150, and the 24 days of skin advent calendar (£70, There are already more than 15 beauty advent calendars on offer, and it's only August. While Boots is keeping some of the magic of Christmas alive with just a sneak peek at these new 24-day bundles, I can spy a few clues of what's to come. I predict Korean skincare, luxury Drunk Elephant moisturisers and more. Boots usually takes a more affordable approach to beauty advent calendars and, while high-end department stores like Liberty and Selfridges charge more than £250, Boots' 2025 calendar keeps things more accessibly aspirational with options at £70 and £150. Scroll on for everything I know so far, including full worth, a first look at the contents and how to join the waitlist. Boots 24 beauty stars luxury advent calendar: £150, The beauty stars calendar is Boots' main advent offering, with a whopping £600+ worth. The retailer is keeping the full 24 days secret for now, but after peering at the press shot, I've spied some gems. Included are Drunk Elephant's protini polypeptide cream (£21, Sol de Janeiro's 76 perfume mist (£24, the Laneige lip glowy balm (£17.50, and Iconic London's get cheeky face powder palette (£35, Interestingly, skincare obsessives will get their very own advent. If you have a penchant for fresh skin and make-up-free days, then you'll find what you're looking for in Boots' 24 days of skin offering. Again, the worth of this calendar exceeds four times the amount you'll pay and, in addition to the products above, I've spotted Round Lab's birch juice sunscreen (£18.90, and Anua's PDRN hyaluronic acid capsule serum (£18, as well as some impressive Korean skincare heroes.

M&S releases men's range of trendy new summer shirts inspired by A-listers Paul Mescal, Callum Turner and the cast of Love Island
Love Island may have finished for the season, but for those trying to recreate some of those sun-kissed summer looks, M&S now has the answer. The British supermarket giant has declared it the season to bare all with a brand new range of men's summer shirts, including loose-fitting linen looks, cooling cotton jerseys and even knitted numbers, all of which can be worn buttoned up or down. Inspired by A-listers like Paul Mescal, Callum Turner, and Miles Teller, the new line offers a wide range of relaxed-fitting summer looks that shoppers can dress up or down, with both long and short sleeved options. This summer also saw the cast of Love Island embracing the trend, with nearly all of the male islanders turning heads in relaxed jerseys in a plethora of patterns and styles. Prices range from £35-£45 and feature a range of colours from cream and mint to khaki, with a striped option available for pattern-loving patrons. So inspired by the trendy loose-fitted looks of the season, searches for 'men's open shirt style' have surged 600 per cent on on Pinterest. And the high-street has seen the effect, with searches for 'M&S Men's Shirts' up 100 per cent this month. Mescal, 29, who shot to fame in 2020 after taking up the role of Connell in the BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney's Normal People, is also a well known trend-setter on the fashion scene, and has inspired the loose-looking linen styles. This summer also saw the cast of Love Island embracing the trend, with nearly all of the male islanders turning heads in relaxed jerseys in a plethora of patterns and styles Actor Miles Teller, 38, put loose-fitting shirts on the map in 2019 when he rolled up to the Cannes Film Festival wearing a relaxed fitting summer shirt in a stylish yellow and cream floral pattern Last year, the Irish heart-throb was spotted sneaking out of Chiltern Firehouse in a pale blue button-down shirt. More recently, the enviable beau to Dua Lipa, Callum Turner, 35, appeared on his glamorous fiancée's Instagram sporting a pale blue striped shirt. Pictured glowing in the European sunshine, the actor cooled down by leaving a generous portion of his top buttons. Offering a close replica, M&S's new line includes a Regular Fit Pure Linen Striped Shirt, priced at £45, that offers a comfortable fit, button-through fastening and cuffs for a look that can be dressed up or down. Actor Miles Teller, 38, put loose-fitting shirts on the map in 2019 when he rolled up to the Cannes Film Festival wearing a relaxed fitting summer shirt in a stylish yellow and cream floral pattern. Offering a similarly stylish summer look, M&S has designed an equally chic blue shirt with tonal textured panels running across the chest. Combined with the breathable linen material, the shirt - costing £38 - offers shoppers a stylish but comfortable wardrobe staple. The new line comes at the perfect time as the chain recently announced the full return of their online delivery – including Click & Collect – across Fashion, Home & Beauty on M& It comes as the brand continues to roll out trend-setting lines, with July having welcomed a scintillating set of short shorts, similarly inspired by A-lister style. The line rolled tiny shorts, with inner seams of just three inches in some cases, at prices ranging from £15 to £30, and in a variety of styles, from pairs suitable for holiday lounging to chino-style cut-offs that don't compromise formality. According to data from Bounce Insights, via Drapers, 66 per cent of men reported liking the 'short shorts trend', with 46 per cent agreeing that they plan on purchasing a pair this summer. Mescal was also the influence behind Speaking to GQ, Paul said he is a 'big advocate for men wearing shorter shorts'. Explaining how he put the outfit together, he said: 'From my eye, it's to do with proportion. Like shorter shorts with maybe a longer top.' What's more, the theme of short shorts materialised on the Gucci catwalk. One model was pictured wearing a red oversized short-sleeved shirt and fluorescent pink shorts. Meanwhile, another model was styled very similarly to Mescal in a purple button-down shirt, flashing their washboard abs. It's not just Mescal who's behind the latest trend, but also former One Direction singer Harry Styles. Papparazzi have spotted the singer countless times around London donning a pair of tiny shorts. The trend also appears to be sticking over in the States, with actor Chris Pine, 44, cutting the seams so significantly that an interviewer at E! asked him to defend his choice. 'I don't think there is anything to defend,' Chris quipped about his October 27, 2023, outfit consisting of a tiny pair of shorts paired with a mustard yellow hoodie and brown loafers. 'It's called short shorts, isn't it? It's supposed to be short.' Indeed, Marks and Spencer's appears to have got Pine's memo with its new thigh-high collection. Mitch Hughes, director of menswear at M&S, told Drapers: 'From the catwalk to A-list celebs, the ''short short'' trend has well and truly arrived – with this season set to be all about the thigh-high style. 'To celebrate its rise in popularity, we're introducing our shortest ever shorts offering, just in time for summer. With inner seams starting at around three inches, our new shorter lengths are officially the shortest M&S men's shorts ever!
