Fancy winning over £250 worth of SPF goodies from Hello Sunday? Here's how
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Hey, you… yes you! How would you like to win over £250 worth of gorgeous Hello Sunday treats? Forget the thick, greasy sunscreens of the past, this UK-based brand is all about lightweight, skin-loving formulas that slot into your routine without any fuss. The packaging is cute, the names are playful (like 'The One That's a Serum'), and the products do more than just protect you from the sun – they also shield your skin from pollution and blue light. How good is that? Better yet, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Basically, they've taken all the boring bits out of SPF and made it something you'll actually want to wear every day – which, we hate to remind you, but you should be doing all year round too. Now we've teamed up with Hello Sunday to give one of you over £250 worth of goodies, including 'The One That's A Serum' (worth £23), and 'The Mineral One SPF 50' (worth £26). The ultra-light, glow-giving formula that 'The Mineral One SPF' has is basically skincare's answer to a triple-shot oat latte: hydrating, energising, and totally addictive. It glides on like a dream (no chalky cast in sight), leaving your skin dewy, calm, and ready to face the day. Packed with antioxidant-rich Kukui Oil and vitamin E, it's like a mini shield for your face – fighting off free radicals, smoothing fine lines, and helping to fade dark spots while you get on with your life. And thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin stays plump and juicy whether it's heatwave season or mid-winter chill. Fragrance-free, featherlight, and designed for everyday wear, this is SPF that works hard without showing off. Just like you. Someone called 'PinkLady' from Belfast hailed it 'perfection for sensitive rosacea skin', and went on to add: 'This is perfect for easily dehydrated, sensitive rosacea-prone skin that reacts to most chemical sunscreens. It's very emollient, which is not pleasant at first, but dries to a nice satin finish. Minimal white cast. I'm also acne prone, and this caused no breakouts.' Martha followed suit and also mentioned that it was a 'great option for deeper skin tones', and went on to say: 'For reference I'm a Fitzpatrick 6. I use 1 pipette full (1/2 suggested amount) with 1 finger of mineral sunscreen (1/2 recommended amount) to get full factor 50 coverage. Mineral sunscreens do have a white tint as they are white pigments but going it this way I do not get a white cast. I have told all my black friends about this as white cast is our regular struggle. This has saved me so much time with not having to apply makeup to make a mineral sunscreen work for me.' If you're looking for a standout product, try 'The One That's a Serum SPF 50'. This featherlight SPF 50 serum is the kind of overachiever we love – moisturiser, sunscreen, and glow-booster all rolled into one sleek little bottle. It's packed with antioxidants, brightening vitamin C, and plumping hyaluronic acid, so your skin gets a hit of hydration, protection, and radiance in one go. No white cast, or greasy finish either – just smooth, dewy skin that looks like it's had eight hours of sleep and a green juice. It sinks in like a serum (because it is one) and works hard behind the scenes to fend off UV rays, pollution, and those pesky early signs of ageing. Basically, it's your skincare routine—streamlined, simplified, and seriously effective. All-year-round glow? Sorted. Below you'll find the list of all the products you can win. The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £18 The One That's a Serum SPF 50 – worth £23 The Take Out One Invisible Sun Stick SPF 30 – worth £20.00 The One For Your Lips SPF 50 – worth £8 The One For Your Hands SPF 30 – worth £10 The One For Your Eyes SPF 50 – worth £18 The Illuminating One SPF 50 – worth £23 The Mineral One SPF 50 – worth £26 The Rose One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Mauve One Tinted Lip Balm SPF 50 – worth £10 The Everyday One Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £24 Recovery One Mask – worth £19 The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 75ml – worth £24 The One For Your Body SPF 30 – worth £18 It's worth mentioning that this competition ends on June 13, so what are you waiting for?

Salman Khan Looks Cunning, Sanjay Dutt Holds A Gun In Arab Film The Seven Dogs' Teaser
Last Updated: The Seven Dogs Teaser: Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt will mark their international debuts with this action film. The Seven Dogs Teaser: Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt are all set to make their cameo appearances in the Arab film, The Seven Dogs. The teaser of the highly anticipated film was released on Friday, June 6, offering a glimpse of Salman Khan in a pinstripe suit and Sanjay Dutt in a sinister look. The teaser was released only a few hours ago and has already gone viral in India due to Salman Khan's and Sanjay Dutt's presence. The teaser features Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt for only a few seconds, promising interesting cameos. Sanjay Dutt is featured within the first minute of the teaser, holding a gun pointed at someone. He has a menacing look on his face. Salman Khan appears in the latter half of the teaser. Looking handsome in a pinstripe suit, Salman flashes a cunning smile. Have a look here: As per Variety, the film's plot reads, 'Seven Dogs revolves around an Interpol officer named Khalid Al-Azzazi who apprehends Ghali Abu Dawood, a high-ranking member of a clandestine global crime syndicate known as 7 Dogs. When, a year later, the organisation resurfaces and begins trafficking a new drug called Pink Lady across the Middle East, Khalid must reluctantly join forces with Ghali, the only person with intimate knowledge of the syndicate's operations." Reports claim that Salman and Sanjay will play 'important" cogs in this narrative. Salman and Sanjay flew to Riyadh in February this year for a three-day schedule. 'Salman and Sanjay are widely recognised, especially in the Middle East. Their scenes have been crafted to leave an impact," a source had told Mid-Day. The film features Egyptian stars Karim Abdel-Aziz and Ahmed Ezz. It is directed by Bad Boys 3 fame Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. The film is produced by Turki Al-Sheikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, and made on a budget of $40 million. Reportedly, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt were approached for cameos due to their close relations with the producer. Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt's fans are eagerly anticipating their reunion on screen. They have previously collaborated in several Bollywood films, including Saajan (1991), Chal Mere Bhai (2000), and Yeh Hai Jalwa (2002). Their on-screen chemistry has always been a crowd-puller. Last year, the two reunited for Old Money, a track by Indo-Canadian rapper Dhillon, blending Bollywood nostalgia with contemporary Punjabi music. First Published:

Locally grown Bravo apples hit independent stores as new juice brand
Bravo apples bred in WA are being made into bottled juice for the first time under a new brand name — Soluna. Developed at the Sustainable Innovative Food Technologies Centre, in the Peel Business Park at Nambeelup, the purple-skinned fruit now has an extended shelf-life thanks to new research. The apple juice is cold-pressed by local beverage processor Pressed Earth, before undergoing high-pressure processing to extend its life to 90 days. Fruit West chair Anne Lister said the new juice ensured nearly all the co-op's harvest could be processed and would contribute to downgrading food waste. 'Pink Lady and Bravo came out of the same research station in Manjimup,' she said. 'We're very proud of it and it's a fabulous program that's potentially got some more really great apples for the future of West Australia and the world. 'We're really absolutely blown away by the showing that it has and the support that is growing every year.' Ms Lister said the plan to export the juice had been in discussions for about five years. 'Maximising the harvest is really, really important for growers, and also tapping into a market that we hadn't looked into before,' she said. 'The great, unique thing about this is that is that it doesn't oxidise, so it lends itself so well to juicing using the high-pressure method, and it produces the beautiful pink colour.' Bravo apples are WA's largest apple export, with more than 740 tonnes sold to Asia and the Middle East in 2024. Trials for apple slices, expected to be in store by the end of the year, are in the final stages at the SIFT Centre, and they will stay fresh for 21 days. WA Agriculture Minister Jackie Jarvis said the purple apples provided an 'additional avenue' for WA growers, and boosted the industry's diversity. 'These projects are the result of an innovative research project, backed by the Cook Labor Government, and developed at the Sustainable Innovative Food Technologies Centre, a state-of-art facility we are proud is supporting our local food and beverage manufacturing sector,' she said. 'Value-added products create an additional avenue for our growers and improve the long-term value of the fruit, helping the industry to grow and diversify.' The researched apples stemmed from a pilot program between the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, the Fruit West Co-operative, Murdoch University, Bruker Biospin, and the Future Food Systems Cooperative Research Centre. The fruit initiative forms part of Fruit West's plan to capture new domestic and international markets for apple products, with the co-op exploring opportunities for Soluna Apple Juice and slices in Asia and the Middle East.

This magical farm, cellar door and apple orchard is a must-visit in the Blue Mountains
The vibe Founded in 2011, Bilpin Cider Company is situated on a 10-acre farm in the picturesque Blue Mountains, just a 90-minute drive from Sydney. Here, Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples grow in the orchard, which the team crushes to make a range of fresh, award-winning ciders (and cracking apple pie). Open daily from 10am to 4pm, Bilpin Cider is also home to a kitchen, cellar door, scenic gardens to roam and friendly farm animals including alpacas and miniature donkeys – making it a perfect spot to stop for lunch and a drink when you're exploring the region. Every third Sunday of the month, there's live music – order a picnic hamper ahead of time, roll out a rug on the lawn, and bask in the sunshine. Oh, and your furry friends are welcome too. The food A kiosk menu is available from 10am-4pm daily. On the line-up you'll find double-smoked ham and cheddar toasties, as well as charcuterie and cheese boards loaded with cornichons, olives, seasonal fruit, farm-picked cherry tomatoes and lavosh crackers. On weekends and public holidays, there's a bigger menu featuring juicy burgers, fish tacos and kid-friendly offerings. Our pick is the Archie burger, made with premium Wagyu beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, barbecue sauce, mustard and mayo. You won't be hungry after that. The drinks Bilpin Cider is made from 100 per cent freshly crushed Aussie fruit, with no added sugar, and they're all gluten-free. Plus, they're really bloody good – which makes sense, given Bilpin Cider Co is surrounded by World Heritage-listed national parks, with fertile soil, mountain elevation and a cool climate. There are around 14 different drinks on offer, spanning crisp, fruity ciders to drier sips and even a ginger beer. First time? Go for the tasting paddle, which comes with four 200ml glasses so you can sample whatever takes your fancy. Driving? The good news is there's also non-alcoholic cider – so you don't have to miss out on the fun. Time Out tip Whatever you do, you gotta order a slice of the fresh, house-made apple pie. It arrives with a perfectly golden, crumbly base, dusted with icing sugar and served with a fat dollop of cream. The inside is both tart and sweet – and tastes like something your nan would make.

When hands fail and history alters: cricket's notorious dropped catches
We all know what it is like to drop a catch. Remember when your colleague tossed you that Pink Lady over your desk, about eight years ago now. To the day. It was such a dolly! You malfunctioned didn't you? Let yourself down, the apple fell on to your keyboard with an embarrassing clatter. Qwerty? Droppy more like. What about that time you fumbled the car keys off that simple over-bonnet-toss and there was a small but quite significant part of you inside that died for ever as you scrambled among the filth on the pavement. That is where you belong now, Droppy, among the dirt and grime, on the floor alongside your spilt opportunity. The cricket writer and author Jon Hotten has come up with best description I've found for that truly awful feeling of dropping a catch in cricket (or indeed otherwise): 'A hollowing out of the spirit.' 'It's not like failure with the bat or the ball, which is more personal,' Hotten writes, 'It's a failure that directly and immediately affects the bowler and the captain … It weakens you psychically, sometimes physically.' It is this double edged grief that makes dropping a catch in cricket so grim. You have let yourself and your teammates down, as a professional – your fans and followers too. The feeling is exacerbated exponentially the easier the catch. So, what is it like to be known for dropping one of the game's biggest goobers? The Spin got in touch with some of England's most renowned and butterfingered culprits in recent memory to find out. Mike Gatting answers the phone and I can him hear him audibly blow his cheeks out when I explain the reason I've called. It is quite a tough sell. 'Hello, would you mind reliving one of the most painful and embarrassing moments of your life …' 'I'll never to this day understand how you drop something like that,' Gatting recalls of his infamously simple spillage of Kiran More at silly mid-off during a 1993 Test against India in Chennai. With the ball looping gently to Gatting off the glove, the bowler Ian Salisbury is already celebrating and the umpire RS Rathore has his finger raised, so inevitable is the catch. 'I didn't even get the hands clutched enough to get to it,' he sighs. The ball somehow ricochets of Gatting's fingers and plops on to the floor. His face during and after is a portrait of pain and confusion. A Raymond Briggs character given the Hieronymus Bosch treatment. At the time he suggested that he might have lost the flight of the ball in the sun but 32 years later he puts it down to a glitch in the universe. 'It's unfathomable.' 'I don't take myself back there too often,' chuckles Joe Denly as he trains in his local gym for the upcoming season, his 21st with Kent. 'There' is Hamilton and the second Test of England's two-match series against New Zealand in 2019. Denly was in his 10th Test match and daydreaming at short mid-wicket. 'I was certainly cloud watching,' he says. 'I wish there was an excuse but there really isn't, it was an absolute shocker!' Kane Williamson, on 62 and battling to draw the game and thus win the series for his team on the final afternoon, is foxed by a Jofra Archer slower ball, he plinks in the air to Denly at mid-wicket ('If I ever find myself fielding there for Kent now I get out of there sharpish before the PTSD sets in'). Denly shells the easiest of chances. Williamson went on to make an unbeaten century and New Zealand won the series. 'Everyone was in disbelief, I really wanted the ground to swallow me up.' Does a drop like that still linger? 'I've made my peace with it, I think, the only thing that is annoying is when you Google me there used to be clips of my batting, now the first thing that comes up is that drop, I find myself having to explain it to my kids. I was alright you know …' It is a feeling that Jenny Gunn is all too familiar with. 'All those matches, all that batting, bowling and fielding … and I'm mainly remembered for that one bloody dropped catch!' she laments down the phone from her home in Sydney where she now coaches. Gunn played 259 times for England across formats but in the third of those World Cup finals, in front of a full house at Lord's, Gunn spilled an easy chance off Anya Shrubsole which would, and should, have been the winning moment – destined to be played on highlights reels for years to come. And yet she failed to grasp the dolly served up by India's last batter, Rajeshwari Gayakwad. Her teammates, including the captain Heather Knight, thought she had just cost them the trophy. 'My whole family were there that day, my grandma and my four-year-old nephew. They both would have caught that catch.' Gunn's blushes were spared when Shrubsole took the final wicket with the very next ball. 'Not a day goes by when I'm not thankful to Anya for taking that wicket. I'm happy to have the piss taken out of me now, something which my family and mates often do, but it doesn't matter, because we won.' Gatting, Denly and Gunn all say they have made their peace with their butterfingered past. It might take some time but after a while the sting of a drop does seem to seep away. Remember that, the next time you fluff your big chance with the car keys. Of course, a dropped catch stings more or less depending on its ramifications. For every Gunn – who only had to wait one delivery to be relieved of her butterfingered misery – there is a Chris Scott or Herschelle Gibbs. Scott famously dropped Brian Lara at Durham in 1994 when the left-handed run machine was on 18. He went on to make a world record 501 runs. The costliest drop in history? Probably not. Gibbs could claim that dubious honour after he missed Steve Waugh at mid-wicket in the 1999 World Cup. Waugh was on 56 when he clipped a simple chance to Gibbs at mid-wicket. Australia were on the brink having slipped to 48 for 3, chasing 272. Gibbs pouched the ball momentarily and went to throw it up in celebration, crucially fumbling the ball in the process. The umpire ruled that the ball was not under control and therefore the catch was in fact a drop. Waugh went on to make 120 not out and win the game.

The MCC chair Mark Nicholas writes to members about the £144.55m winning bid by a Silicon Valley consortium for a 49% stake in, erm, London Spirit. Earlier this week, the Australian one-day legend Michael Bevan – sunnies, at the front – who scored 6,912 runs at 53.58 from 232 ODIs, was finally inducted into Australia's cricket Hall of Fame after new criteria put more onus on limited overs contributions. In doing so, he joined five of his teammates from the picture above, taken before the one-day squad flew out for a series against Sri Lanka and India in 1999, the late Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist and Steve and Mark Waugh.
