'I found a way to get 'fresh' £29 perfume for under £5 in Boots deal'
The high street retailer has just launched its latest beauty edit, and it's a good one. Filled with premium skincare, makeup and fragrance, the limited-edition bundle is perfect for summer Boots has a real knack for putting together covetable beauty edits, but its latest Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag might be one of the strongest yet. Priced at £32, this limited-edition bundle boasts a value of £124.50, making it a tempting offer for anyone looking to elevate their summer skincare and makeup routine without the premium price tag. Inside, there are seven mini and travel-friendly products from high-end and cult-favourite brands, all zipped up in a chic, reusable pouch. Whether you're hopping on a plane or planning a local getaway, this kit is undeniably built for on-the-go ease. As for the products themselves, well, there's some seriously impressive picks to delight skincare, makeup and fragrance enthusiasts alike. The most valuable item in the edit is Floral Street's Sunflower Pop Eau de Parfum, which is usually £29 for 10ml - that's only £3 less than the price you pay for the whole box. And it actually works out at £4.57 when you divide the number of products you get by the price you pay. Perfect for summer, it's bright, citrusy, and a definite mood-booster in a bottle. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers, it features notes such as sweet mandarin and zesty bergamot, plum, musk and amber. It's not my usual vibe, however, I was pleasantly surprised by it's fresh scent and have found myself reaching for it on sunny days. The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist is another fragrance in the mix, a viral sensation that has legions of fans thanks to its warm, beachy notes. If you love gourmand scents, it's a summer staple. Both the Sol de Janeiro mist and Floral Street perfume are very different, so some shoppers may not like both, however they do seem to serve different moods - plus it's nice to have the option. Boots Minis Bag Get Holiday Ready £124.50 £32.00 Boots Buy here Product Description Laneige's Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser is another standout. This K-beauty favourite is ultra-hydrating but still lightweight, ideal for post-sun exposure or long travel days. It leaves the skin feeling plump without any residue, and the 20ml size is generous for a mini. As for makeup, the Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk is the ultimate travel companion. This multitasking cream stick can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips for a really easy, cohesive makeup look. It's perfectly pigmented, easy to apply, and gives that dewy, flushed look as though you're just back from the beach. I almost didn't recognise Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base without its iconic packaging, but truth be told, I actually like this squeezy applicator even more. This primer has earned cult status among beauty buffs and it's not hard to see why. I found it performed exceptionally well under makeup, helping everything stay fresh even after a full day out. The 15ml tube goes a long way, too - a little truly does the job. The MAC Stack Elevated Mascara Mini mascara is another great addition to the edit. It delivers impressive volume and lift, perfect for travel or topping up during a long day. My only critique is that the mini wand can feel a bit fiddly, especially for those used to a full-size applicator, but it's a fair trade for the travel convenience. Finally, there's the Rituals The Ritual Of Karma Shimmering Body Oil which gives a gorgeous glow to the skin. It's a great finishing touch for holiday evening looks, but I think it's got a relatively short window of use year-round as I'm unlikely to wear this on an average Wednesday afternoon, as I would some of the other products. That said, the edit is designed with holidays in mind, so one can't grumble too much. To help take the stress out of packing, a number of other popular high street retailers have also released travel edits, with fashion favourite ASOS offering their Luxury Travel Essentials Beauty Box. Coming in a handy travel pouch, the edit costs £40 and boasts £135 worth of products, saving £95 on the RRP. Inside, shoppers will find eight products from a range of top brands, including Elemis, Laneige, Sol de Janeiro and Elizabeth Arden. As part of the offer, each item works out at £5 apiece. Glossybox has released a brand-new Travel Beauty Kit Limited Edition - and it saves shoppers more than £120 on the contents. While the goodies inside this beauty haul are worth over £150, it can be snapped up for an impressive £30 by subscribers, or £40 by non-subscribers. Glossybox's travel kit features 12 skincare, makeup and haircare treats, five of which are full-sized. The Boots edit has received nothing but praise from shoppers, with five star reviews across the board. One wrote: 'Such a good selection of products - especially for taking away. The bag itself is also great quality. I was going to buy the cream blush and that was £22 on its own! Please bring out more edits as good as this one.' Another added: 'Great value, nice selection of items, especially liked the fragrance,' while a third wrote: 'Looking forward to using these lovely products on my holiday.' 'Absolutely love this little set,' said another. 'I wanted to try a few of these products for a while and when I saw this set for the price I instantly bought. 10/10. Bag is really spacious and will come in handy when I go on holiday.' And I have to agree with the masses, because this set really is packed with genuinely useful, luxe-feeling products that most people would be thrilled to take on holiday. The Milk, Laneige, and Floral Street products alone justify the purchase, but the entire lineup compliments each other nicely together. Shop the edit here.

Kneecap unveil legal 'dream team' for UK case
Kneecap have unveiled the legal 'dream team' who will defend one of their members fighting a terrorism charge in UK court, including an Irish lawyer at the forefront of the case accusing of Israel of genocide in Gaza. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court next Wednesday for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah during a show last year. If convicted, Mr Ó hAnnaidh could face up to six months in prison and a fine.

Pic: Brian Lawless/PA Wire It would also lead to extreme difficulties for the group's busy tour schedule as he may not be allowed to enter some countries if he receives a conviction under the UK's Terrorism Act. The rap group announced the members of their six-person legal team yesterday evening, including law experts who have worked on some of the most high-profile court cases in recent Irish and UK history. Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, who specialises in human rights law, appeared in the International Court of Justice last year on behalf of South Africa, who had accused Israel of committing genocide.

Pic: Nils Jorgensen/REX/Shutterstock The list also includes Darragh Mackin, who previously acted for the group in a case against the UK government in which they successfully challenged a decision to withhold arts funding for the group. He also represented the families of Stardust blaze victims at the inquests. Also on the legal team will be Gareth Peirce, solicitor and human rights activist. Ms Peirce, now 85, is a familiar name to many due to her legal challenges to the incarceration of the Birmingham Six, who were ultimately exonerated after being wrongfully convicted of the pub bombings in 1975. Ms Peirce also represented the wrongly convicted Guildford Four. More recently, she acted as solicitor for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during his fight against US extradition. Kneecap described another lawyer, Brenda Campbell, as a specialist 'regularly appearing in cases relating to terrorism and protest law'. Kneecap will have Rosalind Comyn , who previously represented Just Stop Oil protesters who threw soup on the protective frame of Van Gogh's famous Sunflowers painting in London's National Gallery. Rounding out the team is Jude Bunting, who the rap trio have called 'an expert in freedom of expression'.

Kneecap appoint legal ‘dream team' including Birmingham Six lawyer ahead of terror charge court case
Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh (27), who uses the stage name Mo Chara, was charged by British police last month with a terrorism offence over the alleged display of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a London gig in November 2024. The group claim the charges are part of an establishment campaign to silence them over their criticism of Israel over Gaza. Scores of fellow artists, including Paul Weller, Massive Attack and Portishead, have come out in support of the group. The rap trio have announced the legal team that will represent Ó Hannaidh when he appears at Westminster Magistrates' Court next Wednesday. It includes experts in human rights and criminal defence law, such as international human rights lawyer Darragh Mackin, who represented Stardust fire families, and criminal defence expert Gareth Peirce, who has defended the Birmingham Six and the Guilford Four. "The British establishment is conducting a campaign against Kneecap which is to be fought in Westminster Magistrates court,' the band said in a statement. "We are ready for this fight. We are proud to have a strong legal team with us. We are on the right side of history. You are not. We will fight you in your court. We will win.' They described the team of six high-profile lawyers as 'the dream team'. Human rights lawyer Mr Mackin, who is 'renowned for his representation of the families of the Stardust fire, the 'Hooded Men' who were subject to torture by the British Government, and his role in changing the law against abortion in the North', will be accompanied by Ms Peirce and Brenda Campbell KC, the band said. They described Ms Campbell as 'a high-profile criminal defence specialist regularly appearing in cases relating to terrorism and protest law' who has previously represented 'the families of the Hillsborough disaster, the Stardust families and the family of Noah Donohoe'. Jude Bunting KC, an 'expert in freedom of expression' who has appeared for national and international media outlets, including 'in the challenge to MI5 for their handling of a neo-Nazi agent' who abused his partner, will also be involved in the case, the band said. ADVERTISEMENT Barrister Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh KC, who recently appeared before the International Criminal Court of Justice on behalf of South Africa in the genocide case against Israel over its actions in Gaza, and Rosalyn Comyn, who recently acted for the environmental protesters who threw soup at Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting in their appeal against their sentence, will also appear. Kneecap have previously said they will 'vehemently defend' themselves against the terrorism offence brought Ó hAnnaidh by British police, describing it as 'political' and a 'distraction'. He was charged over the alleged display of a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, in November last year by the Metropolitan Police by postal requisition on May 21.
