'Primark's £5 SPF promises a glow like La Roche Posay's £21 one - I tried both'
Primark's brand new suncare range caught my eye, but does their Lightweight Daily Face SPF compare to the popular La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid Suncream? I found out If, like me, SPF is a must-have in your skincare routine and La Roche Posay's Invisible Fluid Suncream SPF50+ is your usual go-to, then I have the best next beauty buy for you. When browsing the aisles of Primark's beauty section, I stumbled upon their extensive suncare range, which includes everything from a makeup primer and a mattifying daily cream to a swipe-and-go face stick and a nourishing lip balm, all offering 15 to 50 SPF protection and all extremely affordable, with prices ranging from £1.50 to £5. With a heatwave just around the corner and a slew of summer holidays booked, there's no better time to test out a new SPF, especially if it means saving a few pennies along the way. I'm a huge fan of La Roche Posay's Invisible Fluid Suncream, but their SPF often retails for £21. Only sometimes am I lucky enough to catch it in a Boots £10 Tuesday sale or a random money off event. So as part of my week-long SPF experiment, I swapped my La Roche Posay SPF 50 for Primark's Lightweight Daily Face SPF 50+, which promises to offer the same 'ultra-lightweight' formula and 'glow finish'. La Roche Posay Invisible Fluid Suncream - key benefits Formulated for sensitive skin types Invisible, non-greasy finish Incredibly lightweight and ideal for daily use Primark's Lightweight Daily Face SPF - key benefits Ultra Lightweight Minimal white cast Dewy glow finish So does Primark's Lightweight Daily Face SPF live up? You'll have to work for the benefits of the Primark SPF, most notably the minimal white cast. The cream is pretty thick and at first glance I didn't think it could possibly be lightweight, but after taking some time to massage it into my skin, not only did I realise a little went a long way, but you will finally achieve a no-white-cast finish, and an enviable glow. A huge plus is that the Primark SPF doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy, a huge selling point of the La Roche Posay fluid, and gives a better glow than the SPF fluid. In my opinion, Primark's Daily Face SPF is a decent competitor for La Roche Posay's Invisible Fluid Suncream. It's important to note that it isn't formulated with sensitive skin in mind and doesn't have the same dermatologist backing as La Roche Posay does. But if your main concern is finding a lightweight SPF that leaves your skin with a dewy glow, then Primark's Daily Face SPF is a great alternative and probably the most affordable one you'll find on the market. You can find Primark's Lightweight Daily Face SPF in stores.

Major retailer launches £30 travel beauty box worth £105 – includes Sol de Janeiro and La Roche-Posay
BEAUTY fans have been racing to pick up Lookfantastic's new beauty box that's perfect for travelling. The £30 edit is filled with 10 holiday essentials worth over £105, including favourites from Sol de Janeiro, L'occitane and La Roche-Posay. Lookfantastic Travel Edit, £30 (worth £105) Each product comes in under 100ml, so they're ideal for carrying in hand luggage, with skincare, body and haircare items inside. Shoppers will find the cult La Roche-Posay Invisible Fluid Suncream SPF50+ in the Lookfantastic Travel Edit, which will be a must for both abroad trips and summer staycations. Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62 Body Mist is one of the brand's viral products, and the scent screams summer with its tropical notes of pistachio, jasmine and salted caramel. Also included in the edit is Zelens 3T Complex Anti-Ageing Cream, which would set shoppers back £36 if purchased separately — which is more than the entire beauty box. All of L'occitane's products are luxurious, and beauty fans can enjoy a deluxe-size version of the Almond Shower Oil. Beauty boxes are a great way to try out some new products or stock up on favourites, and Lookfantastic's £30 version is seriously good value. It's a great way to prep for an upcoming holiday, with everything from shampoo to moisturisers and cooling face mists.

One shopper wrote: "This is my favourite box so far — the shampoo and conditioner left my hair soft and bouncy and the smell on the Sol de Janeiro is beautiful. I also tried the shower oil which smells lovely and it left my skin feeling moisturised, the edit is well worth the money." Another added: "I bought it to try the Zelens anti-ageing cream, which is worth it even on its own merit, and the Philip Kingsley shampoo and conditioner are a much bigger size than I thought. All ten items are really good, varied products for taking on holiday and I might even buy another one at such great value."
