The 'flawless' fake tan so popular one bottle sells every 20 seconds
As the sun starts to reappear after days of drizzly showers, it's only natural to crave a sun-kissed glow. However, lounging in the sun or spending time on tanning beds can result in sunburn and skin damage, leading to premature ageing - not exactly the summer look we're aiming for. Luckily, fake tan is here to save the day, and there's one particular product that shoppers are snapping up. In fact, Coco and Eve's Honey Bali Bronzing Foam is so sought-after, one bottle is sold every 20 seconds. The lightweight, quick-drying foam promises to deliver a believable, natural-looking tan in six hours. It utilises a clever green-grey base to create a natural bronzy finish - with no orange streaks in sight. Given this, it's no wonder it boasts a near-perfect star-rating of 4.8 out of five from over 4,000 reviews. It also avoids the dreaded biscuit smell often associated with false tan. Instead, it's infused with a tropical mango and guava scent to make tanning feel like a treat, reports the Manchester Evening News. The Bali Bronzing Set is an excellent starting point if you're going all in. It includes bronzing foam, a blurring brush for smooth application, and a velvet tanning mitt - and it's reduced to £52 from £58. As mentioned, the foam has garnered some fantastic reviews online. One individual said: "This is the best tan I've ever gotten. I've been told so many times it looks so flawless. This, plus the face mist, is the greatest combo yet. I won't go back to any other tan." A second customer added, "I was a bit dubious about this product. Since using the tan lotion, it has come out flawless. It looks natural, it lasts, and it smells great. I couldn't be happier and would highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed." Another fan said: "I did not get to leave it on as long as I would have liked, but I still felt as if it gave me a healthy glow. I used it on my face, and I didn't break out, and it didn't seem to fall into my pores like some tans do." However, not everyone is as pleased. Someone complained, "I have used tons of self-tanners, and for some reason, I find this one so blotchy." If such feedback makes you hesitate, consider the myriad other fake tans available. For instance, St. Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse is currently Amazon's top-selling false tan, boasting results that are meant to last a week, providing a natural-looking, streak-free, and impeccable tan. Alternatively, Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam enjoys a robust 4.75-star rating on Look Fantastic for its attributes of "washing off well" and "not streaking." But a Coco and Eve fan said: "This bronzing foam is amazing. The colour is so natural and beautiful, I love it so much. Multiple people asked if I had recently returned from a vacation after applying it." So, for those eager to achieve a sun-kissed look with just one application, Coco and Eve's top-selling tanner might be the ticket, available for purchase here.

Not only does it need to provide a natural looking glow, but it can't look streaky or orangey. With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one to go for. Fortunately, Amazon shoppers have been praising one particular brand as "flawless" - and it's on offer for 60 percent less. Beauty fans looking to get that 'just been on holiday ' look can bag the iconic St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse Foam (240ml) for just £12.34 after the online delivery giant slashed it from its usual £30.50. Hailed as one of the self-tan brand's bestseller, this tanning mousse uses a "lightweight" and "quick drying" formula that has been designed to provide a streak-free and natural looking glow that lasts up to 10 days. It's also a fast-acting formula, as it is said to develop into a "healthy glow" within as little as four to eight hours, which also means there is less opportunity for it to transfer and stain your clothes or bedsheets. St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse (240ml) £30.50 £12.34 Amazon Buy here Product Description The formula has been infused with skincare actives such as nourishing jojoba oil to leave the skin "soft" and "smooth", all while the brand's signature mood-boosting fragrance banishes that dreaded 'biscuit smell'.

Anyone looking to check out another brand, then Bondi Sands is another go-to for many beauty fans, with the firm's Liquid Gold Self Tanning Foam (200ml) costing £17.49 on Lookfantastic.

The St. Tropez Classic Mousse gives a natural, streak-free tan that develops over 4–8 hours. It's easy to apply, fades evenly, and leaves a beautiful bronzed glow—never orange. A must-have for a flawless, sun-kissed look!" A second devoted fan wrote: "An excellent fake tan mousse, always looks natural and no streaks. Not a bad biscuit smell either! Would recommend, it's not a classic for no reason..." Someone else agreed: "I've had multiple people tell me how great my skin looks and ask if I just got back from a vacation. The tan looks natural, even, and gives my skin such a healthy glow." Beauty deal of the week Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots. Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation. Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume. Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang. The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy. One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!" A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!" Shop Boots' half-price deal on the Givenchy Amarige Eau de Toilette (50ml) here. It's worth noting that not everyone found the formula to be streak-free, as one three-star review read: "This is a good colour, but I did notice some streaks after applied. Lasted well though but just be careful and apply as evenly as possible." However, another fan of the mousse said in return: "Easy to put on. Very quick to apply. Doesn't streak. Turns you fairly brown immediately but tan develops even more after a few hours. "I am very pale skinned naturally so have given up lying in the sun. Everyone wants to know where I've been sunning myself. A couple of friends have asked me to share the name of the product with them as they were so impressed."

Dr Martens' best-selling 'softest' sandals are 'so comfy from first wear' have 30% off
As we welcome a new season, one added bonus for fashion fans, alongside the warmer weather, is the abundance of spring sales with some of our favourite brands. Dr Martens , the renowned shoe giant, has rolled out price cuts on some of its top-selling designs as summer approaches. And one particular style that hits the mark for being as comfortable and functional as they are fashionable are the Gryphon Tumbled Nubuck Leather Platform Sandals . Now priced at £98, down from £140, they've had a pretty big 30% saving. While summer is still a few months away, there is a heatwave rumoured to be gracing us any day now and so this could be the ideal opportunity to snag a new pair of summer sandals - especially with a tempting £42 discount. Read more: The 'firming' £25 self-tan that is 'a million times better than' Bondi Sands and St. Tropez Read more: Shoppers adore Sol de Janeiro body spray with SPF 50 that 'smells beyond amazing' These sandals revamp the classic Dr Martens' Gryphon look by giving them a chunky Quad sole and crafting them in soft Tumbled Nubuck leather that feels as good as it looks. The shoes feature signature details like the iconic yellow welt stitching and branded hardware, combining durability with style. The olive green suede upper is not only durable but also bang on trend, reports the Mirror . Although those not too fussed on the signature Dr Martens details, some alternative sandals are cheaper and on sale - for example, Schuh's Tina Chunky Suede sandals in Khaki are currently £24.99 down from £48. A shopper praised the Tina sandal: "Really nice, comfy sandal. I'm not normally a sandal person, but I love these." Heavenly Feet's Saffron sandals are £49.95 and come in a wider range of colours, including mustard, lilac and fuchsia. Although for ultimate Dr Martens fans, the Gryphon sandals' sturdiness and comfort level have been celebrated by shoppers, echoed by its 4.7 star rating. One happy buyer shared their experience with the shoes and said: "For someone hard on shoes, these are perfect. "Very comfortable and the thick Doc soles are perfect for all terrain. Wore them on an African adventure and they have withstood water, sand, rocks, shale and everything in between and still look like they came out the box." A desirable feature that customers have been delighted with is that, unlike a lot of Dr Martens footwear , the sandals don't have that tedious and notorious break-in time. This particular pair has been lauded as comfortable straight out of the box. One wearer said: "Look good, feel great. No rubbing, even when out walking for hours. Wish I bought these in the black leather as well. Will do if we get a summer!". Someone else added: "Fantastic be perfect for the spring/summer be worn with from day one.... colour is exactly what one would expect from Dr Martens!" However, it's important to note that they might not be the best fit for individuals with wider feet, as some buyers have mentioned they find them quite snug across the foot. One buyer remarked: "Look lovely, feel soft but not suitable for wide feet, sent back." Another wrote: "Perfect. Look lovely and so so comfy from the first wear, really happy with this purchase after a disastrous experience with mules which broke on the first wear. I really recommend these sandals if you are looking for statement footwear that isn't black but goes with everything."

Boots' £10 'age defying' eye cream that makes wrinkles and dark circles 'disappear'
It's the day beauty buffs patiently wait for. Not only does Tuesday mark the second day of the week, but it signifies the day Boots slashes a selection of products to just £10. The firm's weekly deal is exclusively online and is perfect for anyone who needs to restock their makeup bag for less. In the deals today, Tuesday, April 29, there is one cream billed as "the only product" to work on dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes. Numerous shoppers have raved over the results of the RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream (15ml) that has a 90 percent approval rating. Usually costing £24.99, the flash-sale will save you an impressive £14, but you'll need to act fast. Read more: The 'firming' £25 self-tan that is 'a million times better than' Bondi Sands and St. Tropez Read more: Boots shoppers praise 'fantastic value' Clinique set that saves £89 on 'exquisite' buys Using two of the most popular skincare ingredients of the moment, hyaluronic acid and peptides, this eye cream has been designed to provide "clinically proven" results that increases hydration around the delicate eye area. This allows it to provide multiple "age-defying" benefits such as visibly firming and contouring, alongside visibly filling in fine lines. It also uses caffeine to help rejuvenate the eye area, making you look more awake with time. The results apparently speak for themselves, as a study found that 100 percent of users noticed a visible reduction in crows feet and improved hydration within just one week. Within four weeks, 85 percent saw a reduction in under-eye puffiness. Meanwhile, after two months of use, 88 percent of users witness visibly firmer looking skin around the eye, while 85 percent noticed a reduction in dark circles. Currently averaging a 4.4 rating on the Boots website, the RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream has thoroughly impressed beauty fans who say it makes wrinkles "disappear" and dark circles look "less visible". One impressed shopper wrote: "I love this product so much; I have really hollow under eyes with dark circles and this is the only product that helps with the appearance of my under eyes. My skin is definitely firmer, more radiant, and smoother!!! Love, love, love." Someone else praised: "After the first week of using this product, I definitely noticed the bags under my eyes were much less visible. I'm only into my second week, but any of the wrinkles around my eye are less noticeable as well. "I also love that this is a fragrance free eye cream . I am looking forward to seeing my results after four weeks of using this product, but I definitely recommend buying it and trying it for yourself." And another shopper added: " ROC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream is a very nice smooth product that goes on to your skin smooth like a serum. It moisturizes the eye area and after a few uses you can see the fine lines and wrinkles become taut and disappear. It goes on easily and dissolves into your skin quickly. I noticed results and I would buy this again and continue to use as it works." One shopper found that, despite the cream working during the early stages, they found that the formula began to "sit on top" of their skin like Vaseline within a couple of weeks. Another advised that the product left them with "stinging" and "watering", so it's worth checking the list of ingredients before you try it out. Purchase the RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream (15ml) exclusively online in Boots £10 Tuesday deal here . Since the flash-sale only lasts 24 hours, the discount is limited and may run out before you get a chance to bag it. Fortunately, there are other products on the market that also promise proven results at a budget price. If you're looking to banish dark circles, we'd recommend purchasing The Inkey List's Caffeine Eye Cream (15ml) for £9.99 on Amazon. To target fine lines and crows, feet, Superdrug stocks the popular L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Anti Ageing Eye Cream (15ml) for £14.99, down from £29.99.

If you aren't heading on holiday and you aren't keen on sunbeds, then a fake-tan is your alternative for that summer glow. Just a few brands that many will know include Bondi Sands and St. Tropez . However, one that is said to stand above them all is the Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam . In fact, it's so popular, beauty buffs on Amazon have been calling it "a million times better" than the iconic brands. Costing £25.75, this self-tan mousse is available in three skin shades - medium, dark and ultra-dark. Offering a "lightweight" and "fast acting" formula, it is said to develop a long-lasting golden glow in as little as just two hours. Read more: Kendall Jenner's go-to £6 highlighter hailed as 'holy grail' for a summer glow Read more: Amazon users bag 'lush' £25 Sol de Janeiro travel set that 'smells like summer' A sun-kissed complexion isn't the only benefit, as the Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam has been infused with raw virgin coconuts, botanicals and amino acids to hydrate, blur pigmentation and cover blemishes. That's not all, as it uses the brand's Celluloshape Technology that has been enriched with fig, banana, papaya and cocoa to improve the signs of ageing and battle the appearance of cellulite, with some beauty fans saying it has a "firming" effect on their body. Worried about that dreaded biscuit smell that we often associate with fake tan products?

With over 8,000 Amazon users leaving it a glowing five-star review, this cult-classic self tanning mousse has been praised as "the best" by beauty fans who have been comparing it to other major brands. One five-star review read: "The BEST I've ever used. I was so surprised by this product! It's amazing!!! The colour of my tan is beautiful, like I've just returned from a beach holiday. I bought the dark and it's perfect on my medium skin tone. "I usually use Bondi Sands/Skinny Tan/St Tropez but this is a million times better . It develops quickly and you don't lose half the tan once you've showered it off. If I could give 10 stars I would!" Another impressed fan wrote: "I am so glad my search for an ultra dark yet natural-looking tanner is over! You name it, I've tried it. TBH, I've been using the Bondi Sands Technicolor foam and was happy with the color but this blows it out of the water. It lasts beyond one shower, too. Will definitely buy again." Someone else gushed: "I have tried every tan that is out there. This is such a great tan colour, not green, not orange but a glowing feels soft and firm after application. Smells like sweets. Best tan I have bought EVER!!! " And another shopper praised: "This stuff is better than St Tropez, skinny tan etc. Easy to use with zero streaks. I always get comments when I'm wearing this. It's brilliant!! Someone who was less than impressed left a three-star review that read: "It's ok, yes, the smell is pleasant, yes, it wears out evenly, but and it's a big BUT, it's not dark to start with and fades to medium and light within a few days..." Purchase the Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bronzing Foam for £25.75 on Amazon here . If you'd prefer a much more budget-friendly option, then we have spotted Boots is stocking the popular Dove DermaSpa Summer Revived Medium to Dark Gradual Self-tan Body Mousse (150ml) for just £5.77, down from its regular £11.55. Alternatively, if you're not keen on using a foam, then Scots beauty influencer Jamie Genevieve collaborated with Utan on this CBD Tanning Water that has been described as "the first and only of its kind", with a 100ml bottle costing £19.99 at Superdrug.
