Dyson supersonic and airwrap price slashed – but you need to be quick

Dyson supersonic and airwrap price slashed – but you need to be quick

Independent03-04-2025

There's only one hair tool brand that's always high on people's wishlists: Dyson. From its futuristic supersonic hair dryer to the cult airwrap, the vacuum brand has become a bemouth of the beauty world since its first tool launched back in 2016.
Launched with great fanfare, the supersonic blew traditional models from the likes of BaByliss and ghd out of the water. Lightweight to prevent arm strain, sleek-looking and powerful to reduce blow drying time, the tool is also impressively quiet and boasts innovative airflow technology, to limit hair damage.
The supersonic has seen plenty of upgrades in the years since, with new attachments for different hair types introduced and refinement to the original design. Just this week, the compact version of the tool was launched to the public.
Then there's the coveted airwrap. First launched in 2018, it changed the hair game thanks to its ability to dry and style simultaneously. The marker of any cult product, the airwrap has inspired myriad affordable alternatives, but you can't beat the original. Helping you achieve a salon-grade hair-do at home, the tool is complete with a long barrel for curls, a coanda smoothing dryer for taming flyaways and a round volumising brush for a bouncy blow dry.
Both are staples of my own haircare regime, with the Dyson supersonic helping me to get out the door faster in the morning and the airwrap offering extra versality when styling.
If the price of the tools has put you off investing in the past, the good news is that Boots has slashed £50 off the brand-new Dyson airwrap i.d and the nural supersonic. But the deals are available for a limited time only – here's everything you need to know.
Last year, Dyson levelled up the technology of the airwrap by launching the airwrap i.d. multi-styler. Just like its predecessors, the new tool focuses on hair and scalp health but with the added benefit of app connectivity. Using Bluetooth, it removes all the guesswork from hair styling. Based on your hair type, length and skill level, the MyDyson app will guide you through the styling steps, with the hair tool adjusting heat and airflow according to your locks.
By programming your hair profile on the MyDyson app (you will have to answer a series of questions, including details of your hair type, length and skill level), it'll suggest a personalised styling routine for you. Plus, there are new attachments, including a conical barrel (the 30mm body tapers to a 20mm diameter tip) for more defined curls, a wave+curl diffuser and a blade concentrator attachment. Being such a new launch, I'm surprised to see it on sale at Boots – and you've got until 15 April to take advantage of the discount.
A hi-tech upgrade on the OG supersonic, Dyson launched the nural hair dryer last year. If you're new to the supersonic range or in the market for a new hair dryer that will speed up styling times while keeping your scalp and hair healthier, I can attest to Dyson's nural being well worth the investment. When I reviewed the hair tool, I found my hair looked shinier and felt far softer than it does after using other hair dryers. With an excellent attachment for taming fly-aways and a feature that cools down the tool automatically when it's close to your scalp, the nural ticks all my boxes.
Plus, it earned a spot in beauty writer Lucy's review of the best hair dryers for 2025, where she enlisted the help of journalist Sheilla Mamona. 'After testing the Dyson supersonic nural on afro hair for a few weeks, I found it to be an absolute game changer,' she said. 'Although it's on the pricier side, the fast drying time and protection against heat damage make it a worthwhile investment if you dry your hair often.'
The deal is available until 15 April.

I tried every top celeb's make-up brand – the must-have products including £24 lip paint that'll make your teeth white

THE world of beauty has always been big business, but in recent years it's become a goldmine for celebrities looking to expand their empires. With devoted fans eager to emulate their flawless looks, A-Listers are swapping the stage and screen for skincare labs and make-up counters, launching products that promise everything from glowing skin to luscious locks. 21 And it's paying off - just ask Hailey Bieber, who's now a billionaire after selling her cult-favourite skincare line, Rhode, to e.l.f. Cosmetics for a staggering £744million. But with so many celeb-backed brands flooding the shelves, are these products worth the hype or just clever cash grabs? Fabulous Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has tried them all, and reveals below the ONE item from each brand worth adding to your makeup bag. LIP PAINT: FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA POP icon Rihanna changed the make-up landscape when she launched her brand Fenty Beauty with a fully inclusive shade range, forcing big brands to play catch up and making 40+ shade foundation ranges the bare minimum across the board. As of last year it was the most popular celeb makeup line in the world, and RiRi has nailed more than base products. Eight years on from its launch, Fenty Stunna Lip Paint remains the best matte lipstick on the market, and my number one pick from the brand. If you don't think you suit red lipstick, the shade 'uncensored' will prove you wrong - it's a universal red that magically suits all skin tones, and delivers bold colour in one swipe that makes teeth look whiter - best of all, it stays put through just about everything. MASCARA: VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY BY VICTORIA BECKHAM POP star, fashion designer, and now big-time beauty mogul, there's nothing VB can't do - and this era might just be her best yet. The company has already reached cult status, despite launching less than 6 years ago, with one Satin Kajal eyeliner sold every 30 seconds. Everything about the brand feels true to Posh - even the tortoiseshell packaging was inspired by a bowl in her kitchen - so I believe her when she says she's creating products she can't find but wants in her make-up bag. Her Future Lash Mascara is testament to that - it separates and lengthens lashes, with a curved brush that lifts. Plus the formula doesn't smudge, but can be removed with warm water. BRONZER: KYLIE COSMETICS BY KYLIE JENNER DESPITE being the youngest Kar-Jenner sister, and one of the youngest celebs to found a beauty brand - given she was only 17 when Kylie Cosmetics hit shelves a decade ago - the products within her eponymous brand feel anything but immature. Kylie's Lip Kits, £29, Boots, had me in a vice-like grip a decade ago, when drops sold out in seconds and had to be shipped from the states. Now, the brand is much more accessible - it can be found on the shelves at Boots - and more grown up too. Kylie Pressed Bronzing Powder is a best-seller for a reason; the buttery formula blends out seamlessly, and the 6-strong shade range beats cult products like Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, £33, so you can find a tailored match - and you'll save a tenner! LIP TINT: RHODE BY HAILEY BIEBER 21 HAILEY Bieber's influence is undeniable - she's the modern day IT girl, and adored by millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha alike, with my 13-year-old niece just as obsessed with the brand as I am. She has an impressive talent of being relatable - despite the actor dad and pop-star husband - and her 'girl next door' nature means she's nailed marketing her brand as she knows what consumers want. Be it hydrating skincare, or a phone case that holds their lip balm. With mouth-watering names that evoke the senses - think 'donut skin' and 'glazing milk' - and bring life to a brand that can only be bought online. If you're in the market for her signature fancy lip balm, skip Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, £18, in favour of Rhode Peptide Lip Tint, which delivers sheer colour and glossy shine with the same comforting formula, for the same price - so you're basically getting two products in one. BLUSH: RARE BEAUTY BY SELENA GOMEZ 21 SINGER Selena Gomez has clearly put lots of time and money into Rare Beauty 's considered launches - and since its hit shelves in 2020, the brand has gone from strength to strength to encompass everything from hand cream and hair perfume to highlighter. The latest launch, Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, £23, which stays put all day – even on oily skin – is the best yet. I usually prefer cream formulas, but this hybrid powder won me over from first use - combining the colour payoff of the viral Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, with a more user-friendly format. One dollar of every single sale across the brand is donated to the Rare Impact Fund, a charity set up by Selena devoted to improving mental health, so I completely understand why it was named Time's Most Influential Company of 2024. FOUNDATION: HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA 21 IF you want seriously innovative, hard working make-up, Lady Gaga's Haus Labs is leading the way. Their base products are in a league of their own. Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, and Concealer, are self-setting, so you can wear them without powder and they won't budge or crease - making it as long-lasting as the iconic Estee Lauder Double Wear, £40, The creaseless technology is great for fine lines and wrinkles, as it won't settle into uneven skin, and both formulas are packed with skincare ingredients - including hydrating glycerin and squalane, brightening antioxidants and soothing cica, arnica and chamomile, so your skin will improve with prolonged wear. BROW PENCIL: REFY by JESS HUNT MODEL and influencer Jess Hunt launched Refy in November 2020 with a collection of innovative brow products to help people recreate her famous arches, and it was an instant social-media hit. Since then, the capsule collection has grown to include a full roster of make-up must-haves. They're most famous for the no-budge wax-gel hybrid - Brow Sculpt, £18, - but the original Brow Pencil, £16, is my personal favourite. The colour deposits easily, but the pencil is thin enough to maintain hair like strokes, and it blends out easily so you can quickly wipe away mistakes. I first used it nearly five years ago, and keep going back! PRIMER-HIGHLIGHTER: CHARLOTTE TILBURY IT'S rare for a single brand to excel in so many categories, but I'd expect nothing less from the detail-oriented, over-achieving founder. It's hard to pick just one product - I'm wedded to their Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder, £39 and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £20 for setting my make-up - but I can't overlook the brand's Hollywood Flawless Filter. For the uninitiated, there was nothing like it on the market when it launched; a primer-highlighter hybrid that makes skin instantly radiant without being greasy or glittery. You can use it both under and over make-up, all over the face or on select areas like cheekbones to add dimension - so it's basically two products in one. EYE SHADOW: TRINNY LONDON BY TRINNY WOODALL TRINNY Woodall has come a long way since she told us exactly What Not To Wear. Though her background was in fashion, her beauty line, Trinny London, aimed at older women, has gained her a loyal fan base. I didn't expect any of Trinny London's products to become a go-to at the age of 29, but I was wrong. Trinny London See The Light SPF 50+ Moisturiser, £46, John Lewis, is like no other SPF I've ever tried - there's no stickiness, greasiness or white cast, and it sits seamlessly under make-up, but it's her Eye2Eye shadows that really stand out. The cream based formula can be applied straight from the pot with fingers, and glides over skin so there's no pulling or tugging, and no powder fall-out to ruin the rest of your make-up. Once on, they don't crease or smudge, avoiding accidental panda-eyes - which is always a worry with my oily skin. EYELINER: VIEVE BY JAMIE GENEVIVE 21 21 FOUNDER Jamie Genevive started her career on an Estee Lauder make-up counter in Glasgow, before amassing over a million Instagram followers - largely thanks to her easy-to-follow make-up tutorials and down to earth attitude - and creating her name-sake brand. Now founder and CCO, she's still as approachable to her followers, and knows what real women want from their make-up, so I trust her implicitly. I was an eyeliner-phobe before meeting Vieve Power Ink Liner, £23, but the tapered pencil and felt-tip nib make application seamless and precise (despite my unsteady hand), while the formula doesn't seep into fine lines around the eye, and stays put all day - win win!

Viral 'super' serum that 'blurs wrinkles' cut to lowest ever price on Amazon

This powerhouse serum was once dubbed 'the cult beauty product of 2024.' The world of skincare is bigger than ever these days. Whether it be wrinkles, pigmentation or anti-ageing, we all have the areas we'd like to target more than others. Looking to target multiple in one go? Then enter the Olay Super Serum, the first of its kind, as it offers five different skincare benefits in just one bottle - and it's at its cheapest ever price on Amazon. The beauty brand's "miracle" serum first made waves when it debuted in the USA in 2023. After officially going available in the UK last year, it quickly earned the title as "the cult beauty product of 2024." While it's certainly popular, it can be quite pricey at £39.99 for a small 30ml bottle. Fortunately, Amazon has knocked 55 percent off the price, taking it to just £18.14, the cheapest it has ever been available to buy for. Not only is this the cheapest price we have spotted Amazon selling it for, as it's currently the lowest price on the entire high street, with Boots and Superdrug stocking it at full-price, while Ocado has it for £20. A unique addition to the skincare market, this powerhouse serum has been infused with the five ingredients - niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen peptides, vitamin E and AHA lactic acid. This means that it provides five benefits in just one bottle that include brightening, firming, toning, hydrating and much more. Considering it's the only serum on the market to do so, it's understandable why it's still hugely popular. It boasts a colour-changing soft purple iridescence, providing the skin with that 'barely-there' natural radiance. It's so popular that the brand claims that it "quickly became a viral sensation, with one bottle sold every minute." While no other option on the market offers as many benefits in one bottle, the popular L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Serum Le Duo (30ml), £37.99 at Boots, harnesses the power of two serums to target firmness, wrinkles and radiance. Meanwhile, celebrity-backed brand Medik8 has just launched its brand new C-Tetra Advanced (30ml), a brightening and anti-ageing serum that boasts vitamin C, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for £69. Skincare enthusiasts will be all too aware of the reputation the Olay Super Serum has managed to garner over the past year, as it has earned a 4.4 rating from users who say it is a "minor miracle" and that it works "like magic".

I started using it after a summer break in the sun. My skin feels hydrated and the wrinkles appear blurred. It seems to have helped reduce sun spots too." A second skincare buff wrote: "Feels great on my skin. Easily absorbed. My skin looks fresher and evenly toned. Lines appear smoother too. Will buy again." Beauty deal of the week It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration? If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle. There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else praised: "What a wonderful product! Olay have [created] a minor miracle with this serum. My skin feels amazing after using this as you don't need to use too much either as so good." Not everyone found it worked for their skin, as one three-star review read: "I didn't really like this serum as I felt it left my skin feeling quite dry, not what I expected it to do." Although, another positive review read: "This stuff is like magic. It makes your skin so soft! I'm not a girly girl, I don't use tons of make up, I'm not incredibly interested in skin care - but ONE experience with this stuff and I'm never living without it. It instantly absorbs and makes you feel at your best. I've even had compliments when wearing it. Id recommend this to everyone!"
