This trending L'Oreal Eye Bag Instant Eraser is currently 50% off at Boots
Likely fuelled by my recent increased interest in de-puffing gua sha tutorials and collagen supplement brands, my TikTok algorithm has finally caught on to the fact that burning the candle at both ends this summer is starting to catch up with me.
No amount of concealer could possibly cover the dark circles I'm currently dealing with!
But now, every other video on my FYP seems to be someone reviewing the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Eye Bag Instant Eraser – and I have to admit that the results seem pretty impressive. After all, my trusty ice roller can only reverse so much damage before it's time to pull out the big guns.
A targeted treatment, the fast-acting formula has been clinically proven to visibly reduce eye bags, wrinkles, and signs of puffiness in just fifteen minutes. Formulated with innovative gel-to-tape technology, it transforms into an invisible and flexible film when applied – instantly compressing to tighten, smooth, and blur the skin for up to eight hours.
Best of all, while it typically retails at a punchy price of £29.99, there's currently 50% off across the L'Oreal Revitalift range at Boots – so, you can try out this trending treatment yourself for just £14.99.
Part of L'Oreal's iconic Revitalift range, this product is ideal for anyone seeking a more refreshed under-eye area. Using a clean and dry finger, simply apply half a pea sized amount per under eye from the inner to the outer corner in a thin and even layer. It takes 15 minutes to fully dry and set – so try and keep your face relatively still while it works its magic. And while L'Oreal says that the formula can be worn under or over makeup, the latter seems to yield better results for most people. BUY NOW FOR £14.99 (WAS £29.99)
You only have to scroll through a couple of pages of the reviews before it becomes abundantly clear that this clever eye cream is well and truly worth the hype. And while it's a little fiddly to get to grips with at first, customers are keen to point out that as long as you follow the proper application instructions, you can expect genuinely amazing results.

'I'm a new mum who's not getting much sleep at the moment, and this product has really helped reduce the look of my eye bags,' one customer writes. 'It feels a little odd at first, but as long as you've followed the instructions, you'll notice it instantly tighten and lift the skin.' https://www.instagram.com/p/DMVXalkuIPG
'I bought this yesterday to see if it was worth the hype, and I can now say that it definitely is,' writes another reviewer. 'I have horrible eye bags that never seem to go away regardless of what I use – but this got rid of them within fifteen minutes!'
So, if you run into me in real life – and think I look surprisingly well-rested – just know that I'm definitely not. In fact, I'm probably knackered . I've just miraculously managed to mask it with a pea-sized amount of this potent cream.

I had twins by 15 & married at 16, trolls say my life is ‘sad & scary' but it makes me so much cash I don't have to work
Read on to see how Karina cashes in NOT KIDDING I had twins by 15 & married at 16, trolls say my life is 'sad & scary' but it makes me so much cash I don't have to work Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM has shared what life is like after giving birth to twins at just 15 years old. Karina Padilla, from the US, took to social media to share a typical day in her life as a teen mum. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Karina revealed she became a teen mum after having twins at 15 Credit: 2 While many said she should be at the club instead of looking after babies, KArina revealed she makes easy cash thanks to her lifestyle Credit: In the clip, she shared the dinner she was making for her family on a typical weekday. Karina said: "Making dinner as a 19-year-old teen mum to 3-year-old twin girls and as a wife. "For those that don't know, I had twins at 15 and I got married at 16 and I've been cooking for my family since I was 16." In the video, the mum made fried chicken burgers from scratch with a buffalo sauce. READ MORE REAL LIFE STORIES BUMPING ALONG I'm a pregnant teen mum on UC & want strangers to help fund my caravan trip But the mum's responsibilities at such a young age didn't bode well with viewers. One wrote: "She should be at the club." "This makes me sad," a second added. Another commented: "It is scary how normal teen pregnancy is in the states. It really is a third world country." But it seems that her teenage pregnancy has worked out in the best way possible for Karina and her family. She often shares videos of what it's like being a teen mum on social media, and it helps her earn money. I was a teen mum - staff wouldn't let me get my kid's ears pierced, it's insane In a comment, Karina said her husband, 21, owned a landscaping company while she does social media for a living. Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund if they have over 10,000 followers, and she had over 500k. TikTok bosses say: "The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors - including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund. UK Teen Mum Statistics Teen pregnancies in the UK have been decreasing considerably since 2007... The under-18 conception rate has decreased considerably since 2007, reports Nuffield Trust. Between 2007 and 2021, the under-18 conception rate in England and Wales decreased by 68%, from 42 per 1,000 women to 13 per 1,000 women. This resulted in 13,131 under-18 conceptions in England and Wales in 2021. "The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day - so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published." The clip went viral on her TikTok account @padilla_twin.teenfamily with over 3 million views and while many judged the mum's teen pregnancy, others were quick to support her. "No, just no, absolutely not! 16? Hell nahh," penned one. Meanwhile another said: "Support teen mums, not teen pregnancy. She's doing well considering she had twins at 16." "I was a teen mum too. You are doing an amazing job. Your husband and babies are very blessed to have you,' claimed a third. Someone else added: "I'm so blessed that I still get the freedom to play Roblox and Fortnite at the big age of 18 instead."

Netflix thriller with 20m views hits major stumbling block for season 2 return
Fans of The Perfect Couple who were waiting with bated breath – while clad in their finest garms – may have to wait a little longer than anticipated for the next glamorous instalment of the Netflix hit. In March it was reported that the limited series – starring Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, Meghann Fahy, Eve Hewson and others – was getting a follow-up season from another Nantucket-set book by best-selling The Perfect Couple author Elin Hilderbrand. The book in question is 2024's Swan Song, and it was set to be written by The Bear producer Joanna Calo. However, Deadline now reports Joanna has exited the project, according to sources, and there is no confirmed replacement for the much-anticipated Swan Song adaption, said to be in early development. A representative from Netflix declined to provide Deadline a comment, and has never confirmed a possible Perfect Couple season two. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Swan Song follows the Gatsby-esque mysterious Richardson family – who throw parties, mingle and flirt with locals, while making sure everyone knows how super loaded they are. But then the worst happens when their house burns to a crisp and an employee goes missing, leaving the whole well-to-do island – where houses are worth an average of at $4.1million (£3mill) – left in chaos. It was reported Australian acting royalty Nicole and Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier would be co-producing the Swan Song series, as they did The Perfect Couple. Upon its release in September 2024, the first series racked up a whopping 20 million views in a week, topping the most-watched chart after only four days. The series was initially reviewed poorly, with some critics calling it a genre 'mess'. However viewers were hooked and are waiting impatiently for more upmarket murders, making it a successful swing after all. Speaking to Metro last year, director Susanne emphasised the significance of the Nantucket setting, describing the island as 'super important.' 'The island of Nantucket is, is a, is a player of its own. And it's not just the physical Island. It's also like a mental island. 'It is very, it's, it's very insular for good and bad.'

Nicole previously revealed she wanted to make sure Liev's ex Naomi Watts was happy with her starring next to him before taking the role. She told Entertainment Weekly: 'We always check in, we're besties. That was very kind of her to do that.' More Trending After giving Nicole her blessing, Naomi revealed she was excited to tune in, as she told EW: 'I'm desperate to [watch] because everyone is raving about it. It just launched, what, two days ago. 'I'm very much looking forward to it. I have seen the trailer. It looks fantastic.' The plot follows the drama after a shocking death derails a lavish high-wedding between Benji Winbury (Billy Howle) and Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), and turns everyone into a suspect. However, Swan Song, if it does end up being made, will have a whole new cast and set of characters, à la The White Lotus. Got a story?

Welsh acting legend rejected £92,000,000 film – it then 'changed his life'
To say that Michael Sheen has led a prolific acting career might be the understatement of the century. A Welsh legend of the stage and screen, he's gained renown across the globe for his performances in productions including Good Omens, Frost/Nixon and Masters of Sex. However, one of his biggest roles in The Queen – the one that he credits for changing the trajectory of his professional life – almost didn't happen, all because he initially rejected it. On the first day of the Edinburgh TV Festival, Metro was in the audience at an illuminating talk held between Michael and Jane Tranter, TV producer and CEO of Bad Wolf, who serves as the event's advisory chair this year. During the conversation, the 56-year-old looked back on a point in his career when he was living in Los Angeles shortly after playing Tony Blair for the first time in the 2003 film The Deal. 'The extraordinary thing about that was that no one had done anything like that before,' he said of the Channel 4 production. 'At that point, if people made something about contemporary, particularly contemporary political figures, it was always satire or it wasn't taken seriously. Since then, many, many things have been done. It was a massive risk.' Even though The Deal 'went down very, very well', with David Morrissey playing Gordon Brown, Michael originally turned down the opportunity to reprise his role as the former British Prime Minister in the 2006 follow-up film The Queen. 'I remember being in Los Angeles, and I was committed to doing a play at the National Theatre, but it turns out that this film, The Queen, was going to clash with this play. I said, 'Well, I can't do this. I've given my word,'' he said. However, The Queen director Stephen Frears wasn't taking no for an answer, and chased after Michael to get him on board with the movie, which went on to make approximately $125,000,000 (the equivalent of £92,000,000 today) globally at the box office. 'I remember getting a phone call whilst I was in a supermarket in LA or something from Stephen Frears. It all got worked out, and I did that film, and that was life-changing for me,' Michael recollected. 'Living in America, living in Los Angeles particularly, and suddenly being in something that was doing very well, you realise how much living in Los Angeles is dependent on how well you do. 'So I've gone from sitting in diners reading Stephen King novels on my own completely, to then having a very different life and opening up all kinds of opportunities, back here as well as over there, and suddenly having a bit of choice. That was transformative.' During the interview at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Michael also opened up about the importance of supporting young people across Wales who aspire to careers in acting, having recently launched the Welsh National Theatre company. More Trending He explained how his family always supported his ambitions when he was growing up, and how he'd never questioned the possibility of making it as an actor, as he'd witnessed Richard Burton and Sir Anthony Hopkins, who also both hailed from Port Talbot, soaring to stardom. 'One of the things I've realised as time has gone on is how important it is to see where you come from, represented on the world stage, and to know that it's possible,' he stated. 'I never questioned whether you could be successful as an actor, because Burton and Hopkins were and they came from this town.' 'It does worry me that, for young people who might want to get into this, if you are relying on the bank of mum and dad or… it's really tough to even just go and move to London, or move to wherever these places are. That's why it's so important to get stuff out of London and around the country.' Got a story?
