£40 Slip Slide brings 'hours of fun' this summer and gets kids away from screens
'The children absolutely loved this!! They spent hours on it, really used up some energy too!'
With the summer holidays fast approaching, many parents may be looking for ways to get their kids outside to enjoy the warm weather and step away from their digital devices for a couple of hours.
One fun item to buy that is sure to get everyone outdoors having fun is a slip and slide. Not only will it be sure to provide a barrel of laughs, it will also keep your children cool during the upcoming heatwave that is set to sweep the country.
Amazon is currently selling the JOYIN 685cm Slip Slide that comes with two bodyboards for £39.50. Currently one of the retailer's top choices, the slide boasts over 5,000 ratings and has been bought by over 1,000 shoppers in the last month.
This 685cm slip and slide comes with two lanes which bring an added element of fun for kids as they race down the track on their inflatable bodyboards. Along with a built-in sprinkler down the middle of the lanes, the slide also comes with six ground stakes to make sure the mat stays in place at all times.
The slide also has the added bonus of being easy to set up. All shoppers need to do is carefully unroll the slide, secure the bumper at the end and use the spikes to hold the slide in place. After the slide has been made wet and connected to water, an afternoon of fun is ready to begin.
It is recommended that the water flow rate of the external faucet should be around 16L/Min in to order to achieve the best water spray effect. With bright vibrant colours, you kids will be racing out the door the second they see the slide being set up.

Product Description
Alternatively, Amazon is also selling the Sloosh Huge Water Slide with two inflatable boards for £43.99. With dimensions of 30ft by 6ft, this water slide is easy to set up and is said to provide 'maximum wetness and maximum wheee!'
Over on Debenhams, the retailer is also selling the Bestway H2O GO! 16ft Slip 'N' Slide for £24.99. Created with a Ultra Slick PVC, this slide will provide kids with more slip and less grip which will let them go faster as they race to the bottom.
Back to the JOYIN Slip Slide, many Amazon shoppers have left rave reviews about how much joy this slide brought to their kids last summer and how it helped pull them away from their screens for a wee while.
One happy shopper said: "The children absolutely loved this!! They spent hours on it, really used up some energy too! Gave them a lot of fun and joy. Definitely recommend!"
With another adding on: "This product was fantastic in the summer. Hours of wet fun, the water comes up through the little holes in the middle part like a sprinkler, comes with two inflatable small body board type things to hold on to whilst sliding down.
"We used it with slime also absolutely fantastic fun, very durable. Comes with ground pegs also to keep it in place, would recommend for some cheap summer fun."
However, one shopper wasn't completely happy with the sprinklers, writing: "Great outdoor fun for the kids. Sprinklers don't come from either side and the middle. Only from the middle and don't come up as high as the advert."
With another shopper noting: "Great delivery my two sons nine and 12 loved this a played on the slide for two hours. The board popped after using them twice. But the side is great. Just get some floats. Happy boys in the sun!"
Despite this, a five-star reviewer said: "This was well worth the money. Wish I'd spent the extra fiver and got the triple lane! Kids aged eight, 10 and 12 love it. Good quality, easy to set up. And mumma can sit in peace now while kids are entertained without looking at a screen. Thank you Amazon!!"
While another commented: "This slide is great quality and was easy to set up. The pegs provided keep it secure to the ground so you don't have to re-adjust when using. Our family had lots of fun using this and think it's great value for money."

Popilush teams up with Angela Simmons for limited-edition collection
Shapewear fashion brand Popilush has partnered with entrepreneur and TV personality Angela Simmons to create a limited edition, collaborative collection. The collaboration came about when Simmons discovered the brand while on vacation. Inspired by how pieces from the brand made her feel, she reached out to Eve DeMartine, CEO and founder of Popilush, to work together. "I fell in love with Popilush because it made me feel powerful," said Simmons in a statement. "It wasn't just about looking good, it was about feeling good. This collaboration is about embracing who you are and showing up with confidence. I wanted to design something bold and sculpted but still wearable and fun. These pieces do exactly that." The new Popilush x Angela collection features two key pieces: a corset strap top made from a leopard print mesh fabric and a mesh slip dress with tummy control. The corset top marks the brand's first foray into tops, expanding outside of bodysuits. The design integrates the brand's signature built-in shapewear and features full corset boning, lace trim, detachable straps, and front hook-and-eye closures for ease and structure. Also new to the brand is the mesh tummy control, adjustable strap slip dress, designed with shaping technology, waist-defining draping, and adjustable straps for a tailored fit. Both styles are available in Leopard print and additional colorways. "From the moment Angela reached out, I knew we were aligned. She understood what Popilush stands for: confidence, strength, and unapologetic self-expression," said DeMartine in a statement. "This collection is a natural extension of both of our visions. It's powerful, it's stylish, and it celebrates every curve. We're proud to create pieces that elevate how women feel in their skin." The Popilush x Angela collection is available now in sizes ranging from small to 3XL on Amazon, and TikTok teams up with Angela Simmons for limited-edition collection

Amazon's cooling blanket is the 'best thing ever' for night sweats and 19% off
The Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket is currently on sale at Amazon, with almost 20% slashed off the usual price tag and it's perfect for combatting night sweats during the heatwave Warm summer days may be delightful, but the hot and sticky nights are not. There's nothing worse than tossing and turning in bed, too hot to sleep - and those who already suffer from night sweats feel the heat even more. Moreover, for those who enjoy having a blanket over them at night, regular duvets simply don't suffice in the summer. That's why a cooling blanket could be an excellent solution, providing the comfort needed at night while keeping users pleasantly cool. Currently, Amazon is offering a deal on the Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket for Night Sweats, now nearly 20% off at £21.94. The specialist blanket is crafted from mica nylon and Japanese cold fibre to help keep its users feeling fresh on hot nights, and it's nice and lightweight as well. Breathable and comfortable, the blanket wicks away heat and claims to lower internal temperature by about 2C. Plus, it's machine and hand washable, making it easy to maintain. If this cooling blanket isn't appealing to shoppers, they could try Dunelm's Fogarty Cooling Cotton Duvet Cover with their existing summer duvet. Ranging between £9.20 and £32 depending on bedding size, the simple plain duvet cover comes in colours including sage green, white and blush pink, reports the Daily Record. Alternatively, Debenhams offers the Slumberdown Cool Sleep Ultra Cool Nylon Summer Duvet/Blanket for between £46.50 and £78, depending on the size required. The duvet is designed to draw heat away and is said to be twice as cool to the touch as standard polyester blankets. The Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket, however, has become a hit with buyers, boasting a 4.4-star average rating. One satisfied customer enthused: "Absolutely brilliant! You literally put it on and can feel the cooling straight away! It's very light and has two layers, it's a slippery type of fabric. I like having a blanket and get too hot under them, this is great to combat that!". Another described it as "the best thing ever", confessing: "I wish I'd bought it earlier, perfect for hot summer nights, lightweight, comfortable." Further praise came from a third buyer who exclaimed: "Absolutely blooming marvellous. Cooled me down on many a hot flush! Recommended." However, not all reviews are glowing, one shopper noted: "I didn't find this cooling, however it definitely stopped me sweating and therefore definitely had a more comfortable sleep. I like the way it is very thin but has a nice weight to it so it's easy to sleep under! Would recommend but not if your expecting it to actually be cool to the touch." But for those in search of relief during balmy evenings, the Ailemei Direct Cooling Blanket may offer an ideal reprieve from the heat.

My favourite setting powder is heatwave-proof – and it's 20% off right now
In 2015, there was powder baking, in 2009, there were foundation lips (never, ever again), and in 2025, we finally have a make-up setting middle ground: a powder – loose or pressed – that blots the skin and leaves your make-up looking fresh as the moment it was applied. For me, the crème de la crème in this category is without a doubt Urban Decay's all nighter waterproof powder (£23.20, As temperatures exceed 25C, you'd be hard-pressed to find me without it. If you're familiar with the Urban Decay brand, you'll remember the days of the naked palette (£41.60, and a heavily glammed eyelid supported by a primer potion (£18, base. Nowadays, the brand is best known for its setting sprays and powders, and renowned for its top-tier staying power. Urban Decay strikes a perfect price balance between luxury and budget, making their high-quality products accessible to most make-up enthusiasts. As The Independent 's beauty writer, I can attest to the long-lasting performance of these products. I haven't left the house without my trusty all nighter waterproof powder in more than three years – here's why. How I tested To be completely transparent, I barely needed to test this setting powder; I've been using it every day I've worn make-up for the last three or so years. Just take a look at the state of the pan in the picture above. When applying the powder, I sweep it liberally across the apples of my cheeks, forehead and chin, specifically targeting my oily zones. I've considered how effectively it conceals my oily skin 's shine, how long it lasts before I need a top up and, lastly, the feel of the product (especially after being layered). With the weather being so hot recently, I've had plenty of opportunities to put it through its paces in balmy, sticky conditions. Here's how I got on.
