The 'flawless' self-tan that gives a 'believable holiday colour' for under £5
It's almost summer, making it the perfect time to get that pre-holiday glow. For those not leaving the UK, a gradual tan is a must have for the warmer season.
Not only do they offer a sun-kissed appearance without stepping off a plane, but they are also safer for the skin, especially when compared to damaging UV rays and using sunbeds.
One that beauty fans have called "reliable" is the Dove Summer Revived Self-Tanning Body Lotion in the medium to dark shade. Costing just £.437 on Amazon for a 200ml, down from £8.50, it's much more affordable than a plane ticket.
Said to be suitable for all skin types, this lotion from the UK's number one gradual self-tan brand is said to be "easy to use", providing a non-streaky application for a "buildable glow."
Infused with aloe vera extract and glycerine, this "nourishing" formula provides 72-hours worth of moisturisation, allowing the skin to retain hydration and stay "silky soft."

Product Description
Not only does it create that holiday glow without any mess or stickiness, but it also provides a fresh fragrance of sun-ripened fruits, meaning beauty fans don't need to worry about smelling like old biscuits.
While the Dove self-tan lotion is getting rave reviews, we understand that not everyone will be a fan of the formula. For those who prefer a mousse application, we'd suggest the Isle of Paradise 30 Minute Express Self-Tanning Mousse (200ml), currently £15.36 at Boots.
Shoppers who are maybe looking for a lighter shade, there is the St. Tropez Gradual Tan Body Lotion in light to medium, with a 200ml bottle costing £18 on Lookfantastic.
However, there's no denying that the Dove Summer Revived Lotion is a bestseller, as it has earned a 4.5 rating on Amazon based on over 2,000 reviews, with praise hailing its "flawless" application that gives a "believable holiday look."

One five-star review read: "OMG this stuff is brilliant, & believe me I've tried quite a few in my time. Doesn't streak, smells gorgeous & the end result is a believable holiday colour. I got another while it was on offer!!!!"
A second beauty fan praised: "This fake tan is incredible! It applies evenly and dries quickly, leaving no streaks. The color is natural and long-lasting, giving me a beautiful sun-kissed glow.
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.
"Plus, it doesn't have that usual fake tan smell. Highly recommend for a flawless tan!"
One shopper did find that the application would run after being in the bath, leaving a three-star review that read: "Works great but unfortunately when you have a bath then dye comes out on towels and any in the wash with the towels afterwards."
Although, this wasn't the case for everyone, as another positive review read: "Doesn't transfer on clothes and doesn't leave any marks - great even tan."
And another happy shopper said: "Use dove tinted moisturiser for 15 years they improve the formula every times this is smooth and non greasy, soaks in the skin well and quickly so not left feeling sticky, and gives a great glow to the skin!"
The Dove Summer Revived Medium to Dark Gradual Tanning Lotion (200ml) can be bought for £4.37 here.

Scotland's 'Balamory town' where homes are affordable as iconic series returns
Property prices are actually lower than the national average. Scotland's seaside towns and villages all benefit from coastal views, and are all wonderful places to live. However, there is nowhere in the country quite like Tobermory. The capital town of the Isle of Mull, Tobermory was originally built as a fishing port in the late 18th century. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and is considered among the prettiest ports in the UK. Tobermory is perhaps most famous as the location of the beloved 2000s children's television series Balamory. The town's colourful seafront buildings feature prominently in the show. As reported by the Daily Record, the BBC has announced the return of Balamory after its last episode aired in June 2005. New episodes of the programme will debut next year, with original stars reprising their roles. Julie Wilson Nimmo, Andrew Agnew, Kim Tserkezie, and Julie Cadzow are set to return as Miss Hoolie, PC Plum, Penny Pocket, and Edie McCredie respectively. The revival will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer and CBeebies in 2026. In anticipation of Balamory's comeback, property experts at Sell House Fast have revealed how much homes in the area cost. They also investigated how prices have changed in the years since the show has been on air. According to Sell House Fast, the average cost of a detached house in Tobermory is £300,083. Meanwhile, semi-detached houses are priced at £255,000 on average. The experts also found that most homes sold in Tobermory over the past year were flats. These cost an average of £139,750. Overall, in the past year, property in Tobermory sold for an average of £221,947. This is slightly lower than the national Scottish average of £223,657. Sell House Fast stated that property prices in the town peaked in 2008. According to the experts, this indicates that the popularity of Balamory had "little impact" on prices, as the show ended years earlier. Jack Malnick, MD of Sell House Fast, commented: "With the filming of Balamory returning to the vibrant Scottish seaside town of Tobermory, residents and prospective buyers will be wondering if the show will impact the housing market. "Whilst homes can indeed increase in value when they feature in TV shows, it isn't always the case—and I don't see it being the case here. "House prices in Tobermory peaked in 2008, years after the show originally aired, which suggests that it had little impact on property prices in the town. "However, the show's return may well lead to an increase in a demand for short term accommodation in the town. Balamory had two million weekly viewers at its peak, and if the reboot has the same success, many young fans may want to visit the real-life town, offering an increase in tourist revenue and leading to more homeowners to capitalise on this demand by renting out their properties as holiday homes." For those looking to visit the charming town, in terms of holiday lets, there are plenty of options to choose from around Tobermory. One of these is a "beautiful bothy with sea views" that sleeps up to two guests, which can be booked for £375 for two nights through Airbnb. The traditional stone cottage sits high up in the town, with views out over the sea from the garden patio. Inside, there is a double bed "in a cosy nook" and a wood-burner for chilly evenings. Elsewhere, there is a flat to rent in one of the iconic buildings along Tobermory's waterfront. Also available through Airbnb, it can be booked for £280 for three nights. Sleeping up to two visitors, the apartment features one bedroom with an en-suite shower room. There is also a large living room, kitchen, and dining room at front of the building that offers "fantastic views" according to the listing. Average house prices in Tobermory per property type Detached house — £300,083 Semi-detached house — £255,000 Flat — £139,750

A second FatFace shopper praised: "Love the colour. Jumper is a perfect fit and is ideal for when the weather is in between hot and cold." Someone else praised: "Such a gorgeous colour for summer. Lightweight and perfect for those cooler days and summer evenings. Reading other reviews I bought a smaller size (10 rather than 12) and it fits perfectly. Fashion deal of the week We might not want to admit it, but summer will soon be coming to an end. That means getting our wardrobe ready for the autumn season, and one affordable jumper from Next is already proving to be quite a hit with fashion fans who say that it has been "beautifully made."

"The bright white, soft cotton collar gives it a smart appearance and the jumper is made from a beautifully soft wool." The Blue Stripe Layered Jumper with Wool and Cotton Shirt is available for purchase from Next at a price of £19.50. "Not at all tight. Loved it so much I bought the white one afterwards!" Not everyone has been keen on the quality, as one two-star review read: "Although the jumper looked nice. When tried on it was ok but sadly the quality wasn't the best. Too expensive for what it was." Although, someone else who praised the quality said: "I love this sweater - the style is different with buttons down the back and the colour is lovely. It is quite expensive but it looks good on so much so that I have also purchased the other two colours."
