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.

Remington's £25 hair straighteners beauty lovers say are 'better than GHD'
Hair styling devices can be expensive, with some high-end all-in-one styling tools costing upwards of £500. However, shoppers on a budget and looking to upgrade their hair-styling game can invest in a new tool without spending hundreds of pounds, thanks to an Amazon timed deal. Remington's Shine Therapy Hair Straightener is on sale for £24.99, down from its usual price of £27.26. The affordable hair tool has more than 32,000 customer reviews, with some beauty buyers comparing its performance and finish to GHD straighteners (RRP £139). They have nine heat settings, ranging from 150°C to 230°C. The ceramic-coated plates are infused with Moroccan Argan Oil and Vitamin E for a sleek and smooth finish. The straighteners also promise a fast heat-up time of 15 seconds and automatically shut off after one hour. The Shine Therapy Hair Straightener is also available in a wider plate option, these are ideal for people with longer or thicker hair. Usually £79.99, they are also on sale at Amazon for £37.88. Alternatively, now is a good time to buy a pair of GHD straighteners, as the Original tool is on sale on the brand's website. For a limited time only, the black version of the tool has been reduced to £124. The cult classic hair styling tool promises salon-grade locks at home. Over at Boots, this BaByliss Smooth Pro 235 Hair Straightener is 50% off, now £40 down from £80. It has six heat settings, 'ionic frizz-control' technology for smooth locks, and a heat wrap for storage purposes. Going back to Remington's Shine Therapy Hair Straightener, an Amazon buyer left a five-star review, saying, 'believe the reviews and hype', before adding: "Replaced my 15-year-old GHDs. Got them on a Prime Day deal for £20. I can't believe the quality for the price. I have long, wavy hair. These straightened with 1-2 pass-throughs, and my hair stayed straight the next day as well (this never happens) and felt really silky and shiny." A string of shoppers reported long heat-up times, with one person writing: "Bought to use on my short hair, as I thought it would be better than my thick Dyson straighteners. This new one takes a ridiculous amount of time to heat up to 210, and does not glide smoothly through my hair. Lesson learned, back to the Dyson." An additional user said: "I bought these as my GHDs developed a fault under warranty and will take up to 14 days to be fixed/replaced. I researched and found these, a quarter of the cost of my GHDs, they heat up fast and straighten my hair just as good. I highly recommend these." A fourth customer concludes: "These hair straighteners are a must-have. Very reasonably priced. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but they straightened my thick curly hair in 15/20 minutes when previously I had always used GHds, which took 45 minutes at least. I love the wide plate and the different temperatures you can select depending on your hair type. They even get my hair straighter and smoother than the GHDs!"

Boasting nine different heat settings - ranging from 150 to 230 degrees - shoppers can choose the perfect temperature for their hair. For those with coloured, bleached or fine hair, Remingtom suggests using the lower settings. These straighteners are also great for those running late, as they take only 15 seconds to heat up.

On the flip side, a top reviewer noted: "I was blown away the first time I used these, they perform like ghds. It's great that they have a lock setting, wider plates, a good variety of temperature settings to meet all different hair types and comes in a cute storage case for on the go or holidays.

I got these yesterday, washed my hair last night and used these and I am so impressed! ! I am usually a ghd/cloud9, and recently my cloud 9 gave up and I didn't want to spend £160 on a new pair so thought I'd give these a go!". "My hair is really thick and nothing ever really straightens it, I usually have to get my hair blow dried by the hairdresser if I want to wear my hair down, but with these I am able to wear my hair down today! ! They are just fab! !". They continued: "Love them! Only down side is the button placement, I tend to press on the buttons when using them but I can live with that with these results! !". Another satisfied customer penned: "Best straighteners I have ever owned, much better than GHD. They glide effortlessly through the hair and only need to pass once to get shiny straight hair!".

"The LCD is clear and the control buttons are easy to reach. All in all they are excellent and for under £40 a real bargain compared to other stores. I would highly recommend them." Yet, another individual expressed a contrary opinion, stating: "Good price but take a long time to heat up. Not as good as my last set (babyliss)." A different customer voiced their dissatisfaction: "Did a really good job but the controls buttons are in a silly place right where you hold the tool! Spent most of the time turning it off up/down. Returned for refund." Nonetheless, there was an abundance of positive feedback. Further commendation included: "Wow these are amazing, the best I've ever used, they don't pull or tug on the hair and they leave your hair so straight with a nice shine finish look to it, I've used different types that have cost me a fortune but these are by far the best." It should be noted that not everyone found the straighteners on par with ghd models. For example, one shopper remarked: "I bought these straighteners after my decent ones broke. These are great value and quite quick to heat up. If you're looking for Cloud Nine or GHD quality you'll be disappointed. However, they are great as a back up or a pair to take away on holiday." Conversely, another commenter was impressed: "I was blown away the first time I used these, they perform like ghds.
