Boots 12-piece summer make-up bundle from iconic brand goes on sale for £12

The beauty bundle is worth £42, offering you a big saving of £30 You might have noticed that some of the biggest fashion trends this year are giving serious 90s and 00s nostalgia – and it's not just the styles making a comeback in 2025, but the beauty brands too. One in particular has us millennial girls feeling all kinds of nostalgic: Natural Collection. Yes, the classic brand we all remember from our teenage trips to Boots made a big return to the shelves just last year, and with a fresh new look to go with it. The range is packed with buys ranging from foundations to skin tints and mono eyeshadows (who else had a whole make-up bag of these when they were young?). What's even better is the brand has kept its products affordable, with most items around the £5 mark. Still, if you were to buy 12 products from the Natural Collection, you'd still expect to be paying at least £40-£50, right? Wrong. Thanks to a Boots sale happening this week, you can get a summer make-up bundle of 12 Natural Collection products for £12 – that's £1 per item. The deal offers you a saving of £30, meaning you can restock your whole beauty bag for the new season without feeling guilty. So what's included? Shine Control Primer: A lightweight base that smooths skin and preps your canvas with chamomile and over 90 % natural ingredients. Skin Tint (Foundation): A sheer to light-hydration tint that evens skin tone while feeling weightless. It's got a fresh, dewy effect that's ideal for everyday wear. Concealer: Creamy, blendable, and medium-coverage, this concealer smartly hides blemishes and dark circles without looking cakey. Prep & Set Spray: This breathable spray can be used under your make-up to prep the skin, or over to leave you with that dewy finish. Blusher in Peach: With fine natural mica for a healthy flush and a silkily soft texture that melts into the skin. Bronzer in Caramel: Often a dual-purpose shade – blendable for eyes or contour – offering warm-toned definition with natural pigment payoff . Highlighter in Toffee Rose: A natural powder formula delivering a glow without sparkle, enriched with chamomile for a gentle sheen. Liquid Eyeliner in Black: A precision black liner to help you achieve even and sharp flicks. Clear Mascara: A multi-use clear formula that grooms and sets brows and lashes. Nice for a natural, no-mascara look. Lengthening Mascara in Black: Lengthening with a comb-style wand (much loved over the old spoolie), enriched with chamomile to condition lashes. Lip Gloss in Flowering Finger: Budget-friendly and perfect for popping in your handbag, this lip gloss looks great on all skin tones. Eyeshadow in Pixie Lily: A pretty neutral to swipe across your lids for a natural-looking make-up day. If the Natural Collection 12-piece set isn't quite doing it for you, Harrods is running a money-saving offer on YSL's Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara Make-Up Gift Set. Previously priced at £53, it's now £31.75, and includes an Extreme Volume Mascara and a Loveshine Lipstick, it means you're essentially. buying the mascara and getting a YSL lipstick for free.

I've visited 100 countries but always go back to these Spanish islands – they love Brits & have the best food & beaches

And why the best beaches are found on the overlooked island ISLE GO I've visited 100 countries but always go back to these Spanish islands – they love Brits & have the best food & beaches Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DESPITE having travelled to more than 100 countries as my time as a travel writer, the place I always return to is much closer to home. Having first visited the Canary Islands in Spain back in 1998, I've been back at least once a year on holiday.

The locals STILL love the Brits Heard about the anti-tourism protests in the Canaries and wondered if we're still welcome? This year I've been back to four of the eight isles and could not have been more welcomed, with the locals stressing how much they value British visitors. I even stumbled across a counter protest movement with 'Lanzarote Loves Tourism'. The world's most varied archipelago The Canaries are all things to all people. On Tenerife alone you can party at the world's second biggest carnival, bash around the world's best waterpark (Siam Park) and climb a mountain almost three times higher than Britain's Ben Nevis. La Graciosa could be on a different planet. There are no tarmac roads, nevermind an airport. It's a brilliant escape from the modern world, hiking and cycling around rough tracks, up volcanoes and out to windswept beaches. Much more than just British breakfasts You can still tuck into British comfort food across the resorts, but there is far more to savour today. Lanzarote and Gran Canaria boast Michelin star restaurants and foodies flock to Tenerife to dine at eight Michelin star restaurants. Spanish island reveals plans for huge new £4.8billion train routes – connecting beach holiday hotspots 7 There's plenty of good food around - including grilled lobster Credit: Robin McKelvie 7 Robin visited Santa Cruz Beach on the island of Tenerife Credit: Robin McKelvie Tenerife boasts more Michelin stars than Wales and the Royal Hideaway Corales Resort has more stars than any hotel in Spain with four! And Tenerife just keeps winning stars. This year Il Bocconcino snared one. I dined there just after, with chef Nikki Pavanelli telling me how he reinvents Italian classics using ultra fresh Canarian produce. It's not all posh nosh - my favourite spot is simple, traditional Restaurante Los Abrigos, with as many locals as tourists in the quaint spot by the Atlantic. Ask to view the catch of the day – they'll weigh it and give you a price so you won't get ripped off. 7 The islands are a hit for everyone with sweet treats and drinks Credit: Robin McKelvie Not so Lanzagrotty Michael Palin once unfairly dubbed Lanzarote with this horrible nickname. I've met him since and he insists it was just a joke. In fact Lanzarote is the classiest Canary Isle. It's largely down to one man - madcap artist Cesar Manrique. He persuaded his politician pals to ban huge resorts and tower hotels. He worked on a series of bewitching projects too – he transformed a rubbish tip into the Jameos del Agua, which looks like the lair of James Bond baddy. A great place to stay is family-run Finca de Arrieta , which captures the spirit of Manrique. World-class hiking As a Scot I know when hiking is brilliant. Tenerife has massive variety, as does Gran Canaria, but my top tip is La Palma. I hiked around what the Canarios call 'La Isla Bonita' with Ramble Worldwide earlier this year. It was a joy soaring with our friendly group of largely British retirees up volcanoes, through thick forests and down to the cobalt Atlantic. We witnessed the Tajogaite volcano, created in the massive 2021 eruption you probably saw on TV. It's fascinating to get so close to such recent volcanic activity in an archipelago that is basically just the tips of eight giant volcanoes. 7 La Graciosa, the volcanic island, has good terrain for biking Credit: Robin McKelvie Culture beyond the bars The karaoke bars tempt alongside pubs showing British sports in the resorts. Beyond is an archipelago alive with culture. The original inhabitants – before the Spanish piled in – left their traces with carvings and stories that linger through generations. On Tenerife you've got the UNESCO World Heritage listed city of La Laguna with its gorgeous hanging wooden balconies and the world-class Auditorio de Tenerife. Gran Canaria has the old town of La Vegueta and La Gomera was the last place Columbus stopped en route to the Americas. I love jogging around the Torre del Condo, imagining Columbus here in 1492. Bountiful Beaches This is what most people are drawn by, but some of the best are found on the more overlooked islands. Tenerife is not my favourite island for beaches – I prefer the third largest isle, Fuerteventura. The Parque Natural de Corralejo sports mile upon mile of Sahara-esque dunes and gorgeous beaches. It's just south of Corralejo, a resort popular with Brits and is easily my favourite Canarian resort. Corralejo offers the best of all worlds. It sports all the touristy trimmings, plus great walking, epic seafood, a real Spanish vibe and brilliant beaches. Real variety too with kitesurfing, day trips to Lanzarote and a big Italian community. In short it's as wonderfully varied as the Canaries.
