MAKES SCENTS I cleared Tesco's shelves of £5 designer perfume – trolls call me selfish, but they're just jealous of the profit I'm going to make
A TESCO bargain hunter has come under fire for clearing the shelves of £5 designer perfume.
We all love a beauty bargain, especially when it involves high-end designer goods for a fraction of the usual price.

This is exactly why one lucky beauty buff went wild after spotting posh designer perfume going for just a fiver at Tesco.
According to the person, who remained anonymous, the mega supermarket was selling a huge variety of posh scents, such as Guess and Beverly Hills Polo Club for a bargain price.
While the latter typically retails for £18, a 75ml bottle of the designer Guess perfume would set you back £25 - or a whopping five times more.
Although the bargain-mad customer didn't reveal the total count of the scents they had snapped up, a snap of the trolley showed more than a staggering 30 bottles.

The lucky shopper - who claimed to have ''cleared Tesco'' - added that they wouldn't be stopping there either.
Sharing a snap of their epic haul, the thrifty beauty buff went on in the caption: ''Off to another store to clear the shelves, don't be too mad.''
However, whilst the bargain hunter may have been all chuffed with their epic haul, the reaction on Facebook wasn't so positive.
Dozens of fellow members of the BARGAIN LOVERS HOME BARGAINS, B&M, PRIMARK, ALDI, ASDA & MORE page flooded to comments to slam the shopper for being selfish.

One furious social media user said: ''everyone knows ur about to con the hell out of vulnerable people by doubling even tripling the price..and it's not greed shaming or being rude.
''It's straight up honesty.''

Someone else added: ''then get a legit job .. conning pensioners and people with very little as is is not helping yourself eat its lining pockets for greed your making it sound like they are starving.
''5 quid a bottle and has at least 20 to 25 bottles u do the math.''

However, not everyone disagreed with the customer clearing the shelves - as some admitted they would've done the same.

Hana Cross is the epitome of chic in a white figure-hugging gown as she attends the Boodles Boxing Ball - amid ex Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing family feud
Hana Cross was the epitome of chic in a white gown as she attended the Boodles Boxing Ball 2025 in aid of Home and Homes for Children on Friday. The ex-girlfriend of Brooklyn Beckham, 26, showed off her model figure in the white cotton floor-length Ann Demeulemeester dress, which is worth £800. She added inches to her statuesque frame as the beauty slipped into a pair of white heeled sandals. To accessorise, Hana kept it simple and elegant with a set of silver earrings which featured an elegant diamond design. Hana completed her look with a classic middle-parted updo and opted for a soft glam makeup look. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Hana's ex Brooklyn has recently become estranged from father David Beckham, 50, and mother Victoria, 51, with his heiress wife Nicola Peltz being blamed for the rift in the once tight-knit family. The Beckhams have largely remained silent in public about the rift, but they are said to fear that Brooklyn is falling increasingly under the control of Nicola. Brooklyn recently said he is excited to build his own family with wife Nicola, as tensions continue to simmer between him and his parents. During a PDA-packed video shared released by Glamour Magazine , the eldest son of Victoria and David gushes multiple times that he can see kids in his future, and that Nicola will be an 'amazing' mother. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike , writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.' Hana and Brooklyn split in August 2019 after eight months of dating, in the wake of a string of explosive public rows. He began dating Nicola two months later. The eldest Beckham child had also previously dated actress Chloe Moretz and TikToker-turned-singer Madison Beer before finding love with Nicola. Hana is currently single, but was linked to Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick and Brooklyn's brother in law, Bradley Peltz. After the split from Brooklyn, Hana went on to write a scathing song about an ex in 2020, which friends insisted was about Brooklyn. The lyrics include: 'You broke my heart and said let's be friends but I never heard from you again and that's kind of mean.' 'I saw us as meant to be and you saw me as temporary and that's kind of rough. 'I'm confused and I'm sad, I don't know what I did but you said it wasn't my fault but without reason how can I know?' But there seems to be no bad blood between Hana and Brooklyn as there appeared to be little said over Hana and Bradley's romantic evening. A source, who spotted the pair at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Cabana Cafe in February 2024, told The Sun on Sunday's Bizarre column that it looked 'intimate'. The source said: 'They looked very intimate and like they were deep in conversation. 'Brad didn't seem to mind that Hana had been in a serious relationship with his sister's husband, or who saw them together. 'He was obviously out to impress, taking her to the most famous spot in LA, where money is no object.'

The best wines to buy from M&S this summer
Between the cyber attacks and fashion editors eulogising about the summer collections, M&S has barely been out of the headlines this year. Food sales are strong, but what is going on with M&S wine? Earlier this spring, I went to the retailer's head office in Paddington to taste some 90 samples from its current drinks range and came out with mixed impressions. Here's what I thought. The first point to make is that the bottles you're inexorably bowled towards by in-store displays, especially in travel hubs, aren't the wines that M&S does best, even if it does sell a lot of them. I'm not a fan of the somewhat sickly Bellante Prosecco and not just because the name reminds me of an unprintable insult rather than a character in Handel's opera Almira. The M&S Garganega Pinot Grigio 2024, Italy (£7), which apparently sells by the bucketload, is made by the very good Cantina di Monteforte and is perfectly fine, though rather sweet (it has more than 6g/litre of residual sugar). My tip? If you like pinot grigio, go to Morrisons and buy Gordon Ramsay Pinot Grigio 2024, Italy (11%, Morrisons, £7.50; also Tesco, £8.75 and still worth that price), which is also made by Cantina di Monteforte but which is dry, peachy and delicious. Back at M&S, other classical styles, such as the Corsican Rosé at £8.50 or the Classics No 14 Spanish Albariño (£13), err on the side of anodyne, which is often my experience of wines at M&S tastings. Strangely, perhaps, for a retailer with a reputation for excelling at basics such as plain cotton knickers and men's crew-neck sweaters, the wines that shine at M&S aren't the ones I might usually look for, they're the ones I didn't know I wanted in my life. A new star to look out for is a beautiful white from the Dão and Lafões regions of Portugal with a slightly textured feel, like pear juice mingled with woody herbs and run through with a salty charge of preserved lemon. That's M&S Found Encruzado 2024, Portugal (12.5%, M&S, £8.50), which is due in stores on June 11. It's fresh enough to drink as an aperitif but it does have good backbone and will sit well with food. Snackwise, I'm matching this with paprika Pringles. Dinnerwise, its combination of texture and tang would be good with the fatty succulence of pulled pork, while its citrus and herbal notes work well with rosemary-and-lemon chicken kebabs. The encruzado is part of an M&S range called Found, dedicated to unusual and little-known grapes, and it's under this label that you will find many of the retailer's best wine buys – and I say this as someone extremely wary of novelty for novelty's sake. Among the Found wines I'd recommend are Feteasca Alba (£7.50) from Romania (also due in stores on June 11), orange Verdil from Spain, and Found Kratosija 2024, Macedonia (13%, M&S, £8.50), a vivid, berry-scented unoaked red that is a cracking buy. My theory is that the apparently cautious approach that leaves me wanting more from some M&S wines is a blessing when it comes to grapes that might otherwise be too challenging. Many Found wines take unfamiliar flavours and wrap them into a wine that is interesting enough but, crucially, approachable and good value – the same approach the food hall has taken for many years. That's not to say Found represents the only wines I'd buy from M&S: other star buys include a cava, an English bacchus and a smoky red from South Africa, all of which you'll find recommended below.

The meanings behind David and Brooklyn Beckham's 200 tattoos REVEALED - after nepo baby savagely covered up tribute to mum Victoria
In recent months, the Beckhams have been blighted with reports of a family feud - with Brooklyn said to have fallen out with his parents over Nicola Peltz. Yet there's one thing that will forever bond David and Brooklyn - their shared love of tattoos - with the duo having a combined 200 between them. Many of the inkings have been inspired by their love of family, with David sporting his children's names on his back as well as a '99' on his little finger to mark the year of Brooklyn's birth and his marriage to Victoria. While Brooklyn - a self proclaimed tattoo addict - unveiled the words 'mama's boy' on his chest in 2019 to honour his fashion designer mother. However, amid the ongoing feud which has since brought the celebrity offspring and his parents apart, a recent shoot for Glamour magazine revealed that Brooklyn has savagely chosen to cover up the tattoo tribute to Victoria. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Brooklyn Beckham, 26, recently revealed he has savagely covered up a 'mama's boy' tattoo on his chest in tribute to Victoria (left, in February 2025 and right in 2019) The small two-word inking has been layered at some point in the last year with a bunch of flowers - seemingly another tattoo tribute to his wife Nicola, of which he already has more than 70. It feels a deliberate and symbolic update, one which has been tellingly showcased after the feud between the son and his parents boiled over with Brooklyn failing to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations. Victoria is believed to be 'heartbroken' over the rift, with Brooklyn now casting himself as the 'wife guy' who does everything for his spouse. But while Brooklyn's 'mama's boy' inkwork has been covered up, a heart tattoo in tribute to his Spice Girl mother persists on his left arm. As the bitter feud within the Beckham family draws on, it will be interesting to see how long the tattoo remains on show. Now, MailOnline takes a look at the meanings behind David and Brooklyn's many tattoos. David and Brooklyn - a story of the Beckham's tattoos Having shot to stardom as a footballer in the mid-1990s, David played the first few years of his career tattoo-free for Manchester United. However he first caught the bug late in that decade having supposedly been inspired by Spice Girl Mel B's then husband Jimmy Gulzar. His first inkwork in 1999 commemorated Brooklyn's arrival into the world, with David tattooing his son's name to his lower back in a classic Gothic script. A flurry of inkwork followed, with David back at the studio a year later to have his iconic guardian angel inkwork drawn onto the back of his neck. The sweet idea behind the angel was that the guardian could be watching over Brooklyn's name further down the star's body. In the same year, David pledged his devotion to wife Victoria with a tattoo of her name in Hindi script. Experts later pointed out the tribute, unfortunately, actually said 'Vihctoria'. After the birth of their second son Romeo in 2002, David added his name above the guardian angel - which had been tweaked and given impressive wings. Shortly after his Romeo addition, the Inter Miami owner chose to get the number 7 - which he wore at Manchester United - tattooed on to his inner arm in Roman numerals. In 2003, he got a Latin inking on left inner arm reading 'So that I love and cherish' and 'Spiritual perfection' onto his right. Later in that year, he celebrated his move to Real Madrid by flying over his tattooist Louis Malloy to create the cross design on his back. More recently, he has moved away from his crowded arms to create works on his torso, including a religious scene depicting Jesus being carried by three cherubs, believed to represent him and his three sons. He also has a scene of a woman in a forest over the right-hand side of his chest and in 2010, added an image of Jesus below his ribcage. The image is based on a painting called The Man Of Sorrows by Catholic artist Matthew R. Brooks and is believed to be another tribute to his grandfather Joe, who passed away aged 83 the year before. Speaking about how he chooses his designs, the iconic star has explained: 'They're about the important people in my life, who I want to have with me always.' Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo visited a tattoo studio together in 2023 to mark their special bond. The trio each had the word 'Brotherhood' inked on different parts of their body. Brooklyn, the eldest of the three, opted to have his new tattoo on his leg above his dancing lady body art, while Romeo also had his on his leg above his eagle inking, while Cruz chose to have his on his hand. Wannabe chef Brooklyn, who was no doubt inspired by his famous parent, showed off his vast collection during a sun-soaked trip in Saint Tropez with wife Nicola last summer summer. Since going under the needle first in 2017, the self professed tattoo addict has amassed over 70 tributes to his heiress wife. Brooklyn's tributes to Nicola are extensive, with her portrait on his upper arm and her eyes tattooed on the back of his neck as well as her name. Far from just using her image, Brooklyn also has their wedding vows tattooed on his arm, with the romantic prose reading: 'Nicola when you walked down the aisle you took my breath away you look so beautiful tonight and always. 'Let me start by saying that words cannot even describe my love for you just looking at you I see my future and it feels like a dream. 'You are my world and I continue to fall more in love with you every single day.' Brooklyn also sports the name 'Buster', his father's nickname for him, as well as an anchor to honour England legend David. He has too found room on his physique for his mother-in-law Claudia's rosary beads. Brooklyn has more than 70 tattoos in tribute to his wife Nicola Peltz, who is supposedly at the centre of his feud with his parents Brooklyn has both his and his wife's surnames scrawled on his stomach, after taking her name when they married. Speaking about the choice, he said: 'It was my idea because I wanted to honour her family's last name as well, and you know I thought when we have kids, I think it'll be so cute to have little Peltz-Beckham's running about.' Brooklyn had Gina's prayer inked on his torso, with the words reading: 'Focused in the present, sincere towards others and trusting in our self, know that you cannot fail.' He also has DVBRCH inked above Gina's prayer. The initials are those of his family - David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. Brooklyn was living it up on a boat with his in-laws when he was pictured with his tattoos on show. The celebrity was seen launching himself into the water before indulging in a spot of water sports. Speaking about his tattoos, the aspiring photographer and chef said: 'They're very addictive, especially when you love someone you just want to cover everywhere. I love her more than anything. I always try to make her happy. That's all I do.' Romeo boasts a variety of tattoos, including a 'free spirit' and a large dove on his wrist along with the words: 'Lead with love.' There is also a stone angel statue, which covers the length of his forearm alongside a 'freedom to dream' torso inking. He also has the word 'love' on his fingers, with a letter on each finger and a replica of David's famous winged cross on his neck. Earlier this year, Cruz showed off his latest tattoo after getting an inking of a record player on his arm. He took to his Instagram Stories to share a picture of his body art after he went under the needle. In the photograph, Cruz could be seen showing off the design on his bicep, which featured a needle on a record with the lid of the sound system open. It came after the youngest son of David and Victoria shared a glimpse of himself at the tattoo parlour. In a picture shared on his Instagram page, Cruz could be seen laying back as he wore a quirky pair of purple sunglasses while glancing over towards the camera. The tattoo artist seemed deep in concentration as he got to work on Cruz's arm.
