New and notable beauty launches Newly launched skincare line Saint Crewe was designed with younger and sensitive skin in mind, eschewing harsher anti-aging ingredients for lighter, glow-focused products that offer hydration without the heaviness. Third-party clinical testing and dermatologist input were carefully used while creating the formulations, leading to a simple, effective series of products that work great for the summer on oily, breakout-prone skin that still needs a moisture boost. Merit recently launched their first-ever tinted sunscreen called The Uniform, and the formula is a surefire hit for summer thanks to its lightweight feel, skin-evening tint and broad spectrum SPF 45 protection. It comes in 15 shades that melt into skin instantly, and the formula is clean, vegan, cruelty-free and non-comedogenic (aka it won't clog your pores). If you're not yet familiar with Keys Soulcare, a skin and body care line from Alicia Keys, you're missing out. The brand leans into the idea that your self-care routine should be a time of reflection and mindfulness, even offering a short questionnaire that helps you "discover your skincare ritual" -- try it yourself. Trying to save on manicures but want a trendy look for summer? PaintLab makes affordable press-ons with staying power in fun designs that you can apply in minutes and wear for up to two weeks. For a more classic but still popular look for your at-home manicure, try one of Salon Perfect's most popular styles at Walmart: A milky, pearlescent peach shade in a short, squared oval shape. Beekman 1802's new cult classic product, Bloom Cream, just celebrated its fifth anniversary and remains a favorite for anyone looking for a rich, nourishing formula that comes in fun, "blooming" packaging you'll look forward to using in your routine. Natural, healthy hair is back in a huge way, and one brand to check out in order to achieve healthier strands is Maria Nila. The brand's Ultimate Repair Set is the perfect place to start if you want to start cultivating smoother, thicker, stronger locks.

Will the UK be hit by a tornado this bank holiday weekend?
The weather has taken a bit of a turn for the worse this week with heavy and thundery showers recorded yesterday. The Met Office even warned that the south east of England could have been hit by a funnel cloud or tornado yesterday. Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said it was 'not out of the question that we could see a funnel cloud, maybe even a brief tornado across parts of the South East'. While there have been no reports of tornadoes or funnel clouds across the UK, the Met Office gave its verdict as to whether there will be any this bank holiday weekend. A spokesperson for the Met Office, told Metro: 'There is a change coming in the UK weather this weekend, with more mobility from the west bringing fresher conditions, as well as rain and some windy weather. 'This means the chance of any funnel cloud or small scale tornadoes diminishes, so no risk over the bank holiday weekend.' So the short answer is no. But there have been tornadoes recorded in the UK previously. According to the Met Office, around 30 tornadoes are recorded in the UK each year. These tend to be small and short-lived, but they can cause structural damage if they pass over built-up areas. Tornadoes can occur across the world,d but they are most common across North America. 'Tornado Valley' in the centre of the US is most prone to violent and large tornadoes. These are caused when warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cold air from Canada which form powerful storms called supercells and when the conditions are right tornadoes are formed. David Oliver from the Met Office explained that the high pressure will move away eastwards this weekend. More Trending He said: 'These will bring rain and windier conditions from the west later Friday, which will spread across the whole of the UK on Saturday. Some heavy rain is expected, especially in the northwest later on Saturday when winds will also strengthen, bringing a risk of coastal gales in the north. 'These strong winds will continue on Sunday as an area of low pressure passes the northwest of the UK. 'Blustery showers are expected on Sunday, which will be heaviest and most frequent in the northwest.' While it is expected to be windy, on the plus side, temperatures will be broadly average for the time of year, around 18°C to 20°C across the country.

Merit just launched a tinted SPF that ‘feels like skincare and looks like skin'
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 After years of writing about beauty products, there's always one that boggles my mind, and that's the common sunscreen. Not only do I (and my skin) deserve one that feels good, looks good, but actually does good for my skin. But the clever folk at MERIT have just made that search a whole lot easier. Launching on May 22, The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50 is MERIT's latest innovation — and it's set to become your new daily essential. Designed for effortless, everyday wear, The Uniform is more than just a sunscreen. It's a tinted mineral SPF that offers light to medium, sheer, buildable coverage with a natural, skin-like finish. Available in 15 flexible shades that correspond to MERIT's Minimalist Complexion Stick, it's made to blend seamlessly into your routine — whether you're heading to a morning meeting, grabbing a coffee, or just out and about in the city. A featherlight mineral SPF that does more than just shield your skin — it blends effortlessly with a sheer tint that melts in like second skin. Offering broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, it's the kind of sunscreen that feels more like a treat than a chore. In fact, it's so wearable, you'll find yourself reaching for it every single day — no reminders needed. Buy on may 22 for £34 When I heard the news that MERIT was making another make-up meets skincare hybrid, I was over the mood – and couldn't wait to slap it on my face. The creamy formula blended seamlessly onto my skin and gave the most gorgeous glow! On the days I want some coverage, but not much, this has become a godsend – especially when getting ready in the heat or a rush. The formula feels silky and velvety too, and that's thanks to a plant-derived emollient that replaces traditional silicones. Better still, there's no sticky residue, no heavy finish — just smooth, breathable coverage that layers beautifully over my moisturiser and under my favourite complexion product (or on its own for a fresh, no-makeup look). What sets The Uniform apart is its mineral-based formula, which reflects UV rays rather than absorbing them. Unlike chemical sunscreens that convert UV into heat, The Uniform uses ultra-fine zinc oxide, a 100% naturally sourced active ingredient, to create a physical barrier against both UVA and UVB rays. This not only offers broad-spectrum protection but also makes it suitable for sensitive skin, as it's dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, and free from common irritants. What more could we really ask for from the humble skin tint with SPF, ey? The Uniform Tinted SPF has been in development for over two years and underwent more than 50 rounds of formulation to perfect its texture, tone, and performance. MERIT's The Uniform is a standout mineral sunscreen that avoids the common issue of white cast by using a unique pigment dispersion technology. More Trending It also features a plant-based SPF booster that softens the skin and ensures even pigment distribution, resulting in a natural, balanced look – not too matte or too dewy. More than just sun protection, The Uniform is a skincare-makeup hybrid designed to simplify your routine and leave you feeling polished and confident with minimal effort. So if you also want buildable coverage with sun protection and all over glow, get this into your basket pronto.
