Tesco wows F&F shoppers with 3-in-1 ottoman stool that swivels and 'fits loads'
Tesco F&F shoppers love a 'cute' ottoman stool that rotates into a chair and 'fits so much' — and one fan thinks it resembles a pricier alternative. The retailer's 3-in-1 ottoman stool impressed customers when TikTok user @cosy.jellycat.lover shared a video showcasing the home decor, and it racked up over 900,000 views.
In the video, the Tesco shopper demonstrated how the stool has multiple uses. It can also be used as a chair or a storage box, suitable for keeping soft furnishings such as blankets and cushions neatly tucked away out of sight but still within reach.
Her caption said: "The cutest 3 in 1 stool from F&F home," and fans were just as impressed by the design, which eagle-eyed shoppers might recognise. When one shopper asked if the stools were new, Jess claimed: "They had a few last year, but this year there's more stock and a new colour."
Another fan shared: "I looked everywhere for this in November but couldn't find it anywhere I was gutted managed to find one similar just without the back bit from Asda to use as a seat in my dressing room and it looks gorgeous luckily I haven't spilt any makeup on it yet too which is good as its cream."
Replying to Jess, someone else revealed: "I got this one in white last year round about this time fits so much!" Jess agreed: "It does! I put a duvet in there after as well."
Elsewhere, an impressed buyer said: "I got this the other day and snap we use ours for our little blankets." Praising the style, a different viewer commented: "Love it! Do they do different colours?" Jess answered: "They have brown and cream."
A keen shopper wrote: "Omg hope they have more colours I'm off to look rn!! I love it as a chair." Another fan said: "Love this!! Love the colour." More praise read: "Oh my god I actually need this." Meanwhile, a viewer commented: "STOP! I'm obsessed." A similar response said: "I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE."
A fan added: "I've seen a cream one from Dunelm, it costs £65," and Jess replied: "This was £35 so not too bad." The fan responded: "That's an amazing price! thanks for sharing."
While it's unclear which product the social media user was referencing, Dunelm's £65 Sherpa Storage Footstool Chair could be a likely contender. According to the description, the 3-in-1 footstool has soft upholstery, a flipable back rest, and is suitable for compact living.
Dunelm states: "A smart 3-in-1 design that adapts to your needs, this piece functions as a footstool, a chair, and a storage unit, all in one compact form. The flip-back rest allows it to fit neatly into small spaces, transforming easily into a supportive seat when needed. Upholstered in soft sherpa fabric, it brings both comfort and on-trend style to any room."

Kardashian-loved make-up artist reveals how to get £210 of beauty products for £55
We ask make-up artist and social media sensation Genevieve Turley about tips, trends and her new OK! Beauty Box – including a way for Mirror readers to get it for under £55 If you like looking at beauty content on Instagram or TikTok, the chances are that you will have seen some of Genevieve Turley's videos. At a time when beauty can seem to mostly be perfectly edited images and unrealistic standards, professional make-up artist Gen's posts are refreshingly hilarious and down-to-earth – and they've drawn attention from A-listers such as Jennifer Aniston and the Kardashians. Gen also worked on the ITV show Katie Piper's Weekend Escape, helping to make over members of the public with inspiring stories to tell, and has just released her own limited-edition edit with OK! Beauty Box, containing 11 of her favourite products – and a huge saving for Mirror readers to be had, too (keep scrolling for an exclusive offer)... How did you get into doing make-up professionally? I changed career in 2018. I had been a burns and plastics nurse in the RAF but make-up had long been a passion of mine, so once I had my daughter in 2017 I knew I wanted to leave the forces and start my own business. I had no idea what I was doing with social media at first, I just knew it was a free marketing tool and it was a great way to get my work out there. What was the turning point in your career? My presence on social media skyrocketed in 2024 when I started to do more comedy skits about make-up. My first one went viral on Instagram and both Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian commented on it. I went from 4,000 followers to 100,000 in weeks. I like to make fun of trends but sometimes there is a serious undertone about the pressure of beauty standards. How would you describe your make-up style? Natural to soft glam. A lot of my professional work has been bridal, so I have plenty of experience with different skin tones, skin types, ages etc. Online, I like to show my audience how to use products, as the beauty world can be very overwhelming. Most women want simple tips to enhance their natural beauty. And what can people expect from your social media accounts? It's a real mishmash. Overall, I like to think my pages are relatable to women aged 35+. It's life on the go as a woman with two young kids and a dog. I review make-up and skincare while sharing tips and tricks, but I also try to bring some fun. Social media can negatively impact a person's headspace, confidence and worthiness. I like to think that on mine, you will feel seen, empowered and upbeat. What's the most ridiculous make-up trend you've seen recently? So many! The blush hacks have gotten out of control. Just whack it on and get on with your day! And putting make-up onto clingfilm so you can splat it on your face in the morning. Wild! Dangerous, too, as young kids are online and this has obvious risks. Not worth the clickbait. What was the most inspirational story you heard from working on Katie Piper's Weekend Escape? There were so many. Michael [Douglas, celeb hair stylist] and I honestly had such a wonderful time with these incredible individuals who all had inspiring stories to share. One that sticks out was a lady whose young son died from type 1 diabetes. I was sitting in the room with tears rolling down my face. His mum had taken him to the GP and they said it was a virus. He could have so easily been saved. Just heartbreaking. What was important to you wh en creating your OK! B eauty Box? I've had so many beauty boxes over the years and always thought, 'What would I put in mine?' So when this happened I was delighted! I wanted great products that will make a big impact. Medik8 C-Tetra Lipid Vitamin C Radiance Serum is a showstopper. The Rodial Blush Drops will also be popular. This box is a great opportunity to try products you may not have heard of or been afraid to splurge on, but with the massive saving (it's worth over £210 but costs £59.99), it takes away the worry. What are your top tips for using the products inside? Just have a play with them, feel the textures, and try different ways of applying them. Make-up and skincare should be a mix of TLC and creative play. I wanted products that were perfect for my 'natural make-up' women. What's a quick and easy make-up trick that not enough people know? Setting spray. Spritz after foundation and then again after adding powder. It helps to bond the make-up so it looks natural and skin-like, but also adds longevity. You can also spritz throughout the day to rehydrate your skin while also refreshing your make-up. What would you pick as your ultimate desert island make-up product? How can you ask me that?! If I have to say just one, it would be the Dr PawPaw Shea Butter Lip Balm from the box because it's so multifunctional. It's great for the lips but also gives a lovely glow to your cheeks, or you can pop it on your brows to add some shape. It's a great all-rounder and handbag essential. Reader offer Get £5 off the limited-edition OK! Beauty Box by Genevieve Turley – worth over £210 – and buy it for £54.99 instead of the usual price of £59.99 while stocks last. Click here or use the code MIRRORGEN at the checkout. You might also be interested in a skincare-focused box like Lookfantastic's The Skin Renewal Edit, which is valued at £210 but costs £45, or the Boots X Supergoop!

Celeb hairdresser issues stern sunburn warning over popular sunscreen hack
Tess Daly and Emily Blunt's stylist Phil Smith says the TikTok hack for spritzing your scalp with watered down SPF can only lead to disaster Another heatwave looms which means dips in the pool, frolicking in the sea and the sun's rays beating down on your hair. Meanwhile, people are jetting off to sunny resorts where they can top up their tan and cool off in either the hotel's swimming pools or in some crystal waters on a foreign beach. But while sun, sea and swimming pool s are the best bits of summer - they might be the worst for our hair. Celebrity hairdresser Phil Smith, who has looked after Tess Daly and Emily Blunt's hair, says he always sees a surge in clients arriving at his salon worrying about frizzing, colour fade and frazzled scalps at this time of year. However, there's no need to let your tresses go fully feral with his expert insights and surprising hacks. 'Maintaining effortless, healthy hair all summer can be a challenge - but with the right tips, tricks and products, you can protect your locks without compromising on style and quality,' he says. Don't fall for TikTok hair sunscreen hacks We've all experienced that sting in the shower after a day at the beach - the telltale sign of a sunburned scalp. But avoiding a pink parting isn't always as easy as it sounds. 'I've seen people on TikTok suggest mixing sunscreen with water in a spray bottle to mist over the scalp,' says Phil. 'Unfortunately, this just dilutes the SPF, making it far less protective. And it's a big no no if you have hair extensions too. 'If the sunscreen contains ingredients like avobenzone, it can leave rust-like stains on them,' he adds. Instead, a smarter approach is to choose a hairstyle that eliminates your parting altogether. 'Slicking your hair back into a ponytail is one option, but that can be a bit harsh and doesn't suit everyone. I recommend going for a topknot or a couple of soft buns instead. Just leave a few loose strands out for a softer, more effortless look - it's protective and super cute.' Use ketchup to boost blonde tones It's particularly tough being a blonde in summer, when colour can be left brassy and battered by pollution and UV exposure - or even go green after contact with chlorine. 'One hair hack I particularly love, because it shocks people that it works, is using tomato ketchup to reverse green tinges,' says Phil. 'Apply a tablespoon to lengths and wait up to 30 minutes before rinsing. The acid in the tomatoes and vinegar break down the copper build-up that causes the discolouration, restoring the blonde tones you love. If you prefer results in seconds rather than smelling like you belong in a burger for half an hour, when you get back from your sunshine break, he suggests grabbing a bottle of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Blonde Toning Shampoo (£14 each; ), which uses amino acid rich violet rice extract to have you back to your 'natural' colour in the time it takes to shampoo and rinse.' Shower before the pool to protect against chlorine There's nothing better than diving into a cool pool on a hot day, but chlorinated water can leave hair dry, brittle and weak. The good news? A little prep goes a long way. 'Our hair is porous, but it can only absorb so much water at once,' says Phil. 'If you want to limit how much chlorine your hair soaks up, wet your hair with fresh water before swimming. "Take a quick shower or, if you're at the beach, keep a refillable bottle of tap water handy so you can rinse before taking the plunge.' Phil also advises against swimming with your hair down. 'I always tell my clients to apply a leave-in conditioner and then tie hair up in a bun to shield it,' he says. Use the right towel on damp locks Wet hair is much weaker and more prone to breakage than dry strands, so how you care for it after a swim is just as crucial as before. 'Keep a soft microfibre towel like the Dock & Bay Hair Wrap (£15; in your beach bag so you aren't tempted to rough dry with an abrasive beach towel, which will damage the cuticle and leave you with a halo of frizz,' says Phil. If you want to comb out knots post-swim, he advises buying a wet brush. 'The MDLondon Vent Brush (£13; is perfect,' says Phil. 'Start detangling from the ends and work upwards to avoid breakage and minimise discomfort. Add a pump of Phil Smith Professional Haircare Miracle Primer (£14; at the same time, with hyaluronic acid to fight humidity-induced frizz and plant-based hemisqualane to smooth and detangle. Get your roots done once you've returned home Everyone wants their hair to look amazing in their holiday photos, but if your sunshine getaway happens to fall around the time you're due to see your colourist, it might be worth delaying that appointment. 'UV rays break down dye pigment molecules, so when you're on a sun-soaked holiday it's almost impossible to avoid fading and dullness - unless you spend the entire trip under a giant hat,' says Phil. 'While no one wants to skip a root touch-up to cover greys, if you can, I recommend stretching the time between appointments and scheduling your session for after you return home. Getting your hair professionally coloured is an investment - this way, your colour stays fresher for longer and you avoid paying for salon results that can't last.'

Manhunt for masked thieves as thousands of pounds worth of Labubu dolls stolen
Labubus, collectible toys from a Hong Kong artist that look like monsters with a toothy grin, have become a growing Tiktok trend across the world in recent months Police are searching for a group of thieves in masks who stole thousands of pounds worth of Labubus from a store. Labubus come in all shapes and sizes, and some figurines have a higher value than others. NPR reported in June that a life-size Labubu in China sold for $170,000 at an auction with more than 1,000 bidders. The dolls have gone viral around the world with dozens of celebrities getting involved in the trend in recent months. The dolls were first designed by artist Kasing Lung. He was born in Hong Kong and moved to the Netherlands at age 7, where he learned about Nordic fairy tales. Kung released an original illustrated book series in 2015 called The Monsters, featuring female characters called the Labubus. It comes after reports of a dad's desperate phone call moments before explosion kills him and his daughters. In 2019, Kung teamed up with Chinese toy company POP MART to begin manufacturing Labubu dolls. POP MART said that the revenue generated from the first Monsters series launch "broke the sales record in the art toy category." The theft of $7,000 worth of the dolls took place in Los Angeles on Wednesday at the store, One Stop Sales, located about 18 miles east of Los Angeles. The LA County Sheriff's Department told the AP that four suspects used a stolen Toyota Tacoma in the robbery, and the car has since been recovered. One Stop Sales posted on Instagram that the thieves broke into the store at 1:30 a.m., taking all the inventory and 'trashing our place.' They shared CCTV footage showing the robbery on Instagram. The post's caption read: 'Today we got robbed, and they took all of our inventory, trashed our store, we are still in shock, if you guys can share this post please and help us find these [thieves].' If you can't see the post above, click here. Commenters came to the aid of One Stop Sales. One user wrote, 'How can we help? Ive shared and reposted! But let's come together to help you guys bounce back!' Another wrote: 'This breaks my heart, yall were so sweet and nice to me when I came in . Head up, so sorry this happened to you. "Oh "I'm so sorry this happened to you. I pray they are caught and you get justice.' a third user wrote.
