Remington Hair Straightener that offers 'smooth, shiny results' slashed by over £50 to £25
With rising interest in haircare gadgets that promise sleek results without damaging strands, one salon-style straightener has caught the attention of buyers after receiving a major price drop.
The Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener S8500 is currently on sale for £24.99 at Boots. Rated 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 1,000 reviews, this hair tool is proving popular thanks to its performance, shine-boosting features and reliable results.
And a discount of £54.01 from its £79 RRP certainly helps. Available in a glossy teal colour, the S8500 features Advanced Ceramic coated plates infused with Moroccan Argan Oil, Vitamin E, and micro conditioners.
These ingredients are released through the plates during styling, helping to leave hair 88% better conditioned, smoother and shinier, according to the brand.

Beauty deal of the week
YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price.
The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.
Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price.
This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.
However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity."
Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.
As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn.
One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115.
A third buyer left a simple but positive review: 'Great price for quality, only two weeks using it so far so good. It has the perfect size and temperature control to avoid burning your hair.'
In contrast, someone else shared: 'This new one isn't as good as my previous unfortunately... takes longer and for some reason makes my hair more static.'
Still, others continue to rate it highly: 'Excellent straighteners. I use them at 150° to limit damage and they perform really well even at that low temperature.'
Head to Boots to get the Remington Shine Therapy S8500 Hair Straightener while the offer lasts.

Shopper on their feet for 12 hours says discount Skechers slip on sneakers are 'the one'
The summer sale at Skechers includes price reductions on some of its top-selling designs Finding the perfect pair of shoes that offer both comfort and ease of wear is crucial, particularly if you're dealing with pain or mobility issues. Ill-fitting footwear can lead to discomfort in your feet, knees, and back, especially if you spend most of your day on your feet. The right pair should offer support, balance, and sufficient cushioning and impact protection. If you're on the hunt for such a pair, it might be worth checking out Skechers' summer sale, which features price cuts on some of its best-selling styles. One pair currently enjoying a hefty discount is the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 Smooth Step, now available with a whopping 30 percent off. Typically priced at £90, they're currently up for grabs for just £62.99, saving you nearly £30 on these comfortable and easy-to-wear trainers. This price rivals other major retailers like Amazon, which is currently selling the trainers for £80.81, making them £20 more expensive than buying directly from the Skechers website. Designed for effortless access, these slip-on trainers are perfect for those who struggle with bending down to tie laces or find it difficult to exert much pressure to slide their foot into shoes. The hands-free design allows you to step into them with minimal effort or strain, reports OK!. To avoid any sliding, these trainers feature a heel cushion that keeps your foot firmly positioned and a stretchy knitted upper that adapts to your foot's movement for enhanced comfort. The Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 trainers also boast an air-cooled memory foam footbed and a flexible outsole for shock absorption and day-long ease. Whilst Skechers might be pioneering the slip-on trainer market, other brands deserve attention too. Hush Puppies has introduced an attractive offer, slashing its Recycled Good Shoe Bungee Trainers from £65 to merely £25.99. At Sports Direct, Reebok's DMX Slip On 61 has dropped to just £49, down from £69.99, with plenty of larger sizes remaining in stock. For those who struggle with sizing, these adidas Blue Cloudfoam Go Sock Shoes retail at £60 and are available in half sizes from 3.5 to 9. The Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 also provide an extensive size range from two to eight, including half sizes. They've achieved an outstanding 4.7-star rating, with buyers commending their comfort and appearance. One delighted buyer commented: "Love the design! I'm on my feet for over 12 hours sometimes. I need quality shoes to wear and these ones are it! ! I have no pain in my feet or back when I get off of work. I'm telling all my friends about them!" Another customer concurred: "I am going to have knee surgery and the nurse-coach suggested Skechers shoes because of the rubber soles and ease of wear. She wears them all the time." A third customer dealing with mobility challenges described the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 as "perfect", explaining: "I have pain issues - back, knees, feet, everywhere. Bending and putting on shoes in general is an issue. "I've tried a few other "easy hands free shoes" that still required some struggle on my part to put on so even though these were more than I'd normally spend on shoes, I decided to buy try them out based on reviews and Holy Moley, I'm so glad I did. "These are perfect for anyone like me with mobility issues especially with bending and putting on shoes. I had trouble bringing my dog for walks because I legit couldn't put on good shoes to bring him on them, and these I can just easily slip on and go. "I kid you not that it would take me five plus minutes to put on other sneakers and these take me less than five seconds. On top of this, I have wide feet and I have such a hard time finding wide enough shoes and even when I've ordered 'wide' sneakers they haven't been actually wide. "These fit me perfectly. I can wear these with or without socks comfortably. I'm probably going to buy another pair in another colour. I'm now a fan of Skechers for sure." However, not everyone found the Skechers Slip-ins Ultra Flex 3.0 as comfortable, with one buyer warning: "Very high at ankle height, not suitable for swollen ankles." Whilst another chimed in: "I bought a size nine wide width and that is what I received, however, the wide width is not wide at all. Way too narrow of a toe box. "I have narrow feet, but need the wider width to allow toe box spread. These are not a true wide width when ordered that way." Others, however, couldn't get over their comfort, writing: "When I first wore these I was afraid they were too tight in the instep but after wearing just a few times they were perfect. Have never tried slip ins before and they are absolutely amazing. The padding at the heel is a real bonus. For summer shoes they are perfect." Whilst another simply said: "I love these slip in Sketchers. I have them in 4 colors. They are the most comfortable shoes I have."
