Kate Middleton's Wimbledon Clarins lip gloss is reduced to £7 with clever hack
The Princess of Wales famously used this usually-£23 lip gloss at Wimbledon in 2019 Kate Middleton's beauty game is always top-notch, with the Princess frequently opting for a natural, fresh-faced look. You might assume that the future Queen relies on ultra-luxury products to achieve her impeccable appearance, but some of her go-to makeup items are surprisingly budget-friendly. Kate is reportedly a fan of Clarins' bestselling Lip Perfector, which she was spotted using at Wimbledon in 2019. It retails for £23, but savvy shoppers who use TopCashback can snag it for less than a tenner. While the process may seem intimidating, it's straightforward, free and easy to do. New Sephora customers and new TopCashback members will receive a complimentary £15 sign-up bonus as well as cashback on their purchase. This brings the cost of the lip gloss down to £7.04 after all discounts have been applied. All you need to do is shop it through this unique link. Praised as a 'holy grail' by customers, the lip gloss uses wild mango butter and shea butter to nourish and hydrate the lips, while rice bran oil, peptides and a lip highlighter complex enhance the lips' natural colour. The versatile formula also allows it to be used to add a hint of colour to your cheeks, resulting in skin that looks plump and silky smooth, reports the Manchester Evening News. Despite only having two reviews on the Sephora website, the Lip Perfector has garnered an impressive 4.6 out of five-star rating based on 1,410 reviews at Debenhams, where it retails for £23. One chuffed customer penned: "The colour is perfect, it's creamy and best of all not sticky - makes my lips feel super soft and hydrated." Another chimed in: "It gives just the right amount of shine and feels super comfortable on the lips. Definitely a must-have in my makeup bag." A third shopper praised the Lip Perfector: "It's the perfect balance of hydration, colour and shine. The texture is super smooth - not sticky at all - and it leaves my lips feeling soft and nourished thanks to the shea butter and natural oils." While the product has received largely positive feedback, there were a few customers who were less than thrilled with their purchase: "Extremely difficult to apply, uneven, peculiar smell and non lasting. I will never buy this again." However, another was smitten with their latest Clarins acquisition, gushing: "My holy grail for effortless, glossy lips. I've tried countless lip products, but the Clarins Lip Perfector stands out as a true staple in my makeup bag. The formula is ultra-smooth, hydrating, and gives my lips the perfect soft, plump look without any stickiness. "It has just the right amount of colour to enhance your natural lips, making it ideal for everyday wear or layering over lipstick. The applicator feels luxurious and makes it easy to apply on the go. Bonus: it smells like vanilla-subtle but so comforting. If you're looking for that "your lips but better" finish with a silky, non-greasy texture, this is it. Total game-changer." As an alternative, you might consider the Biossance Pro Peptide Lip Perfector, which costs £15 at LookFantastic. There's also the Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm, retailing at £12 from Space NK. Offered in both clear and tinted varieties, it delivers silky, soft and smooth-feeling lips.

Charlotte Tilbury's 'perfect' lip oil that 'lasts a long time' now under £20 in set
This new duo set lets Charlotte Tilbury fans bag two of the brand's new lip oils for less Charlotte Tilbury recently launched a range of tinted lip oils that shoppers can now grab for less. The Unreal Lips Healthy Glow Nectar Oil Duo allows fans of the iconic makeup brand to save 5% compared to buying each product seperately. The set includes two of Charlotte's new lip oils at £39, meaning shoppers get each item for £19.50, which is cheaper than purchasing one of the products individually (£21). Customers can pick from shades such as Juicylicious Cherry Glaze - a glossy pinky red - or the clear Juicylicious Coconut Water that's ideal for adding over the top of lipstick. Other colours available in the Unreal Lips Healthy Glow Nectar Oil Duo include Juicylicious Pink Watermelon, the brown-pink shade Candy Fig, a light pink named Juicylicious Strawberry Vanilla, and the Juicylicious Pure Peach. The lip oils feature hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to keep pouts hydrated and a clever gel applicator. All of the lip oils contain PH-Powered Filter Tech that adapts to the PH of skin for a shade that's unique to the wearer. Other lip oils available to shop right now include the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil which is £24 from Cult Beauty. As a beauty writer it's one of my favourites, and shoppers agree with one saying: "Honey Gold is super glossy, hydrating, and gives your lips a hint of golden shimmer. It looks luxe and feels like a treat every time you apply it." Clarins' super popular Lip Comfort Oil comes in 13 shades and went viral on social media. It's currently available at Next for £25. At Boots, customers can also shop the viral Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil for £33. One shopper said of the product: "This is a lovely non sticky lip colour. Lasts longer than others and is a lovely natural colour." Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Lips Duo £39 Charlotte Tilbury Shop here Product Description If beauty buffs have got their eye on Charlotte Tilbury's Unreal Lips Healthy Glow Nectar Oil Duo then we don't blame them, but one shopper did mention they felt the scent didn't last long enough, writing: "Cute coconut images adorn the lip oil tube, perfect for summer and it glides on smooth. I would give it five stars but I need the scent to last longer. I still use it every day since I received it, great ingredients as always in a Charlotte Tilbury product." Another wasn't impressed with the gloss' price point saying: "Fine lipgloss. But not worth the money tbh." However, the overwhelming majority of reviews for the oils on the Charlotte Tilbury website are positive, with the duo having gained an overall star rating of 4.8 out of five from 108 customer reviews. One shopper said: "Charlotte Tilbury is my go to for multiple makeup products! I love them! I'm very skeptical when it comes to a PH type changing lipstick or gloss. This one hits the mark. It doesn't go super pink or super dark like some others. It's the perfect pink glossy pout. The smell is amazing and the consistency is good, not too thick and not too thin." Another happy customer said: "This lip product glides on so smoothly and feels amazing on the lips. It's the perfect in between, not too sticky but doesn't feel oily either and lasts a long time. "I put it on before I start my workout and when I finish an hour later my lips are still perfectly glossy and hydrated. I also love the very subtle tint it adds, as well as the scent. It's the perfect addition to my lip combo for summer time!"

Fenty Beauty's OG Body Lava Is Finally Back—But Not For Long
As the weather warms up, everyone's skin starts to look different. Winter paleness transforms into a more bronzed and even complexion with a hint of shimmer or high sheen. While we can credit the sun for a tanning boost, most of the time, the best body bronzers on the market do the heavy lifting. Not to be confused with self-tanners, bronzers, primarily used as a step in makeup, provide a quick path to summertime skin. 'Bronzer adds warmth to your complexion and mimics the look of a sun-kissed glow without sun exposure. It makes the skin appear healthier and radiant. By creating shadows and highlights, it subtly sculpts and defines facial features,' says NYC-based makeup artist Christian Briceno. On the body, it imparts a glow but takes it a step further by 'enhancing skin tone and creating a luminous, even-toned finish,' he says. Ultimately, finding the best body bronzer boils down to what suits your skin type best—whether you favor liquid formulas that easily spread all over your body, or cream or powders for targeted radiance (decolletage, anyone?). Beyond that, aesthetics are a huge factor to consider when shopping for these radiant formulas. For busy bees who want to skip the wait time, we extensively searched for the top-rated lotions, oils, and even a powder that accelerates your glow. After consulting a makeup expert, polling editors, and reviewing customer feedback, we arrived at the following list of the best body bronzers for a tropical radiance at your fingertips. In this formula, blurring doesn't necessarily mean to mattifying. Instead, a blend of oils, shea butter, and squalane enhances moisture while delivering a shimmery finish and subtle tan. Size: 6.8 fl oz A reviewer says: 'It truly makes you feel and look amazing! I love the nice shimmer over tanned skin!' You're just minutes away from a kiss from the sun. Clarins' Self Tan Milky Lotion applies smoothly on the skin and deepens in color after a few minutes. Once touch-dry, slip into your clothes and be on your merry way. Size: 4.2 fl oz A reviewer says: 'I have very sensitive, fair skin. This was the first tanning cream I have used that gave me NO adverse reaction at all. I used a light amount and it provides a light natural sun kissed color. I washed my hands thoroughly after and had no discoloration on my hands. There is a light coconut smell when you first apply, but this doesn't last long. If you have darker skin, this may not provide enough color, but I did use a small amount.' If you don't tan easily or simply want an everyday boost in complexion, Blue Water Girls' Private Island Glow brings the tropics to your home. Beyond its sunny scent, the formula is chock-full of castor oil, squalane, and shea oil to nourish as it tans. Size: 3.4 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'I don't even wait for the sun to shine to apply a few pumps of this tan accelerant. Whenever an outfit calls for an appearance from my clavicle, or if I opt for something -less—be it the sleeves or the back‚ this serum provides a toasty bronze that looks like I spent hours under the Caribbean sun.'—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor The beauty of Vacation's offerings is that its sunscreens are tailored for all preferences and lifestyles. Lying out in the sun feels even better when you're gradually getting tanner and protected by the sun. Instant Vacation does what its name suggests—it offers evidence of a day well spent in the sun in a flash. The more you layer, the more pigmented it becomes. Size: 5 fl oz A reviewer says: æBlends well and doesn't look streaky. I put on lotion first. A little bit goes a long way.' This feather-light oil is the versatile companion to reach for whenever you need a radiance boost. It can be added to body lotions and creams or even to facial serums and moisturizers for added warmth. Thanks to the combination of cocoa extract and jojoba oil, your skin will drink it up. Size 3.1 fl oz A reviewer says: 'Super happy I found thisd! I just tried this because my skin is so white after seeing no sun for the last few months, and this and so far it's the bext bronzer I've used. I love that there's no scent so it mixes in perfectly with my daily moisturizer to just give my skin a bit of a glow that lasts all day. I've used it by itself and also mixed in with my moisturizer and I love it both ways. Highly reccomend!!' Perhaps one of the most famous body offerings in Fenty Beauty history, the Body Lava has officially returned in time for the summer—limited edition, of course. While it's here, you can expect glowing, bronzed skin from head to toe in a range of skin-flattering shades. The gel-based formula dries down to a comfortable, non-sticky finish that looks gorgeous or is mixed with an oil. Size: 3 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'I was one of the folks who grabbed every color when this first launched in 2018, and have dreamed of a restock for years. My favorite shade is the discontinued shade Brown Sugar—which translates to the new shade, Hold my Trophy—a deep, bronzed hue that kissed my dark brown skin so perfectly that it looked like I was glowing from within. I don't have to top-up after applying, even in the dead of summer.'—Nerisha Penrose While this is a traditional face bronzer, sometimes makeup can enhance other body parts, too. If your neck and chest could use a bit of bronzing, this expert-loved powder formula is light and effective enough to dust along the area for a cohesive blend. Size: 0.34 fl oz Our expert says: For a powder option, I like the Victoria Beckham Matte Bronzing Brick, the duo shades give the skin a healthy sun-kissed look. I love that is buildable, so you can choose the intensity desired.'—Christian Briceno, professional makeup artist Patrick Ta's viral body bronzer helps you achieve an even, toasted radiance wherever you apply it. The formula reads like a nourishing body cream, combining jojoba oil, shea butter, and rice bran emollients for a hydrated and smoothed complexion. Size: 1 fl oz An ELLE editor says: 'I saw an influencer drag this along her décolletage and arms, and immediately purchased. Here's a reliable bronzer that won't show up all over your clothes or leave a sticky film. Butter Glow by Physicians Formula takes murumuru butter, cupuaçu butter, and tucuma butter to bronze, condition, and blur the skin, whether you're heading into the sun or staying in. Size: 3.2 fl oz A reviewer says: 'Love this bronze glow. I have only used it on my body, but I can definitely recommend it as a soft glow to accentuate your legs, decollete, and arms.' Is it really summer if you're not dousing yourself in a Sol de Janeiro formula? For a glow that looks straight out of Rio de Janeiro, opt for the Glowmotions body oil. With two shades to choose from, the oil blends seamlessly to enhance your skin tone and dries down to reveal a shimmery finish. True to Sol de Janeiro fashion, this oil also unfurls a gourmand aroma. Size: 2,5 fl oz A reviewer says: Christian Briceno is an NYC-based professional makeup artist. In the early aughts, tanning beds were commonly used to accelerate a sun-kissed glow in addition to lying out in the sun. 'Tanning involves exposing your face and body to UV rays, either naturally from the sun or using tanning beds. While tanning can make skin appear darker, it's a sign of skin damage and carries risks like premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer.,' Briceno explains. To avoid harming your skin, Briceno says to look into self-tanning formulas, 'which darken the skin over time and often last for days without damaging your skin.' On the other hand, 'bronzing is more of a cosmetic and temporary option. It uses tinted products to instantly add warmth and radiance to the skin without significant health risks.' Looking closely, many bronzing formulas boost radiance through tiny gold particles. 'When selecting the right shade of bronzer, consider your skin type, complexion, skin undertones, and how you naturally tan in the sun,' Briceno advises. Similar to makeup, skin prep is paramount when dealing with body bronzers. 'Exfoliate your face and body for a smoother skin texture. I like Andalou Clarifying Yuzu Grapefruit Body Wash, which gently exfoliates with salicylic acid and evens out skin tone for a smooth canvas to start with,' he says. From there, you want to skip any oil-based lotions or creams to ensure the bronzing formula can apply evenly. 'When applying the bronzer, build the intensity gradually, starting with a light layer to avoid streaking and over-darkening. I like blending the bronzer on the body downward, following how the sun hits your body naturally. Don't forget the ears, neck, and hands to create a natural bronze illusion,' he explains. Most bronzing formulas can be applied using your hands; however, using a brush or a mitt can make application easier and less messy. As a leading publisher of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty content, is committed to highlighting the best products in various categories by personally testing the latest and most innovative products, interviewing countless experts, and vetting customer-loved items. For this piece, beauty commerce editor Nerisha Penrose polled an expert and combed through customer reviews to find the best body bronzers on the market.

Shoppers are ditching $151 creams for this $5.50 supermarket ‘dupe'
Let's be honest, we love a luxe moisturiser moment, but the price tag? Not so much. With skincare soaring into triple digits, it's no wonder savvy shoppers are turning to dupes that deliver results without the hefty price. The new MVP of budget beauty is the Vaseline Gluta-Hya Lotion, available at Woolworths for just $5.50, half price for a limited time. This isn't your basic body lotion, it's a bona fide skincare dupe that's being compared to Clarins' $72 Energising Body Lotion and the ultra-luxe Tatcha Overnight Renewal Cream, which rings in at a jaw-dropping $151. Let's break it down. The daytime dupe: Vaseline Gluta-Hya Pro-Age Restore. Fans of Clarins' Dynamisante Energising Body Lotion swear by its skin-firming feel and fresh scent. But at $72 a bottle, it's not exactly everyday-use material. Vaseline's Pro-Age Restore version, however, is here to change the game. Packed with Pro-Collagen Complex and Vaseline's exclusive GlutaGlow technology (which claims to be 10x more effective than Vitamin C), it's designed to boost radiance, even skin tone and firm up skin, fast. We're talking visible results in just five days. Smooth, supple and glowing skin without having to skip your morning coffee run? Yes please. The night-time glow-up: Vaseline Gluta-Hya Overnight Renewal Looking for a Tatcha-level transformation without blowing your rent money? Vaseline's Gluta-Hya Overnight Renewal Lotion is your new bedtime essential. This $11 bottle promises the results of 10 sheet masks in one application, minus the gooey mess. Its light texture melts into skin and transforms into refreshing water droplets on contact, giving you an ultra-hydrating boost that works overnight to restore radiance and plump tired skin. Beauty influencers are already calling it a game-changer for dull skin, and if TikTok has taught us anything, it's that affordable doesn't mean ineffective; it means clever. The best part? Both lotions are sitting pretty on Woolworths shelves for just $5.50 each, half price for a limited time. That's less than your morning coffee. Affordable finds for less
