For £2.49, shoppers can get a 100ml tube of D'avignon Shea Hand Cream, which is made with 20% shea butter.

Top beauty trends for 2025
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.
Haircare
Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.
Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up.
2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments.
Skincare
Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion.
Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.
Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
Make-up
Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin.
Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks.
Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect.
Nails
2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.

Starmer under growing pressure to introduce wealth tax
Political Correspondent Sir Keir Starmer is facing increased pressure to introduce a wealth tax to address a significant shortfall in public finances. New polling indicates that 91 per cent of Labour members support taxing the rich more, with 84 per cent also favouring an end to the two-child benefit cap. Senior Labour figures, including Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and former shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds, have previously advocated for wealth taxes. The survey also highlights widespread concern among Labour members regarding party discipline, with 74 per cent believing challenging controversial legislation such as welfare cuts should not result in suspension. Critics within the party, including former MPs, say that the leadership is out of touch with its membership and must alter its approach to avoid losing support.

Two of the UK's biggest bakeries to combine to make bread giant
Associated British Foods (ABF), the owner of Kingsmill, Ryvita, and Twinings, is set to acquire the historic Hovis Group, merging it with its own bakery arm. The multinational confirmed on Friday that an agreement has been reached to buy Hovis from private equity owner Endless. The deal will "combine" the production and distribution activities of Hovis with ABF's Allied Bakeries business, which produces Kingsmill and Allinson's bread. This strategic move is expected to yield "significant costs synergies and efficiencies", aiming to create a sustainably profitable bread business. Hovis, founded in 1890, was previously bought by Endless in 2020 from Premier Foods, owner of the Mr Kipling brand. It comes three months after ABF first confirmed talks over a potential deal. The move follows a strategic review of the Allied Bakeries business, which has been loss-making in recent years due to cost pressures and changing consumer demand. ABF said: 'The combined business will be better placed to compete effectively and to establish a stable platform for product innovation in the segments of the UK bakery category that are growing as a result of changing consumer tastes and needs.' The food firm also said the deal would lead to the expansion of new product range and improvements in current products. George Weston, chief executive of ABF, said: 'This transaction will create a UK bakeries business that is both profitable and sustainable over the long term. 'Supporting the Hovis and Kingsmill brands with well-invested and efficient operations will also enable innovation and growth. 'This solution will create value for shareholders, provide greater choice for consumers and increase efficiencies for customers.' The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is likely attract the attention of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), combining two of the larger bread makers in the country behind the market leader, Warburtons.

Beat the base rate for three months with this 4.5% fixed-term savings account
Products featured in this article are independently selected by This is Money's specialist journalists. If you open an account using links which have an asterisk, This is Money will earn an affiliate commission. We do not allow this to affect our editorial independence. Investing and savings platform Prosper is giving savers the chance to beat the base rate for three months with a 4.5 per cent micro-fix. The account is provided by Santander International and comes with a regular interest rate of 3.75 per cent, which Prosper* will boost by 0.75 per cent. If you locked away the minimum of £10,000 within the account, you'd earn around £110 after three months. Last week the Bank of England voted to cut the base rate from 4.25 per cent to 4 per cent. Since then over 20 savings providers have slashed their variable savings rates, according to rates scrutineer Moneyfacts Compare. It's still possible to find rates on savings accounts that are higher than the base rate – but you must keep a close eye on your options. Prosper is an investing and savings platform that allows you to search for a savings account and then open the product that's right for you. Find out more about its 4.5 per cent fixed-term deposit account below. How does this option fare? The account from Santander International available through Prosper* is a three-month fixed-term deposit account. You choose the amount to lock away, which you can't access until the end of the fixed term. The minimum you can deposit is £10,000 and the maximum is £1,000,000. The standard interest rate is 3.75 per cent, which Santander International pays when the account matures. Prosper tops this up by 0.75 per cent, paying the boost to your bank account the week after maturity. This is Money says: With more providers set to decide whether to pass on the base rate cut to savers over the coming weeks, it's worth considering whether to give your savings a short-term boost with this option from Prosper. You need to be prepared to keep your savings stashed away, because you can't access them until the end of the fixed term of mid-November. It's also not an Isa, meaning your savings aren't shielded from tax and so you should keep an eye on whether the interest you earn takes you over your personal savings allowance. However, only interest earned from the underlying 3.75 per cent will be subject to tax. Prosper says that HMRC treats the 0.75 boost as a type of cashback and doesn't regard it as taxable income. You can keep track of the best rates with our regularly updated savings tables. In terms of cash Isas, Chip* currently has the best headline rate, offering 4.7 per cent. This includes a 1.66 per cent bonus for three months. After this the rate plummets to 3.04 per cent, so you should think about transferring after – but it's worth considering as a tax-free, flexible alternative to Prosper's account.
