'My favourite DKNY perfume gets me compliments and it's now £5 in deal'
There are few better compliments you can get than being told 'you smell good'. That's what happened to me at dinner on holiday when the waiter came to serve our table and said 'someone smells lovely'. Three days before, I had treated myself to a new DKNY perfume at Heathrow duty free, which was the culprit for the compliment. Not only do I recommend the fresh, floral smell of the Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, but I've found a way to beat the £20 price I paid for it, and chop £15 off. A nifty deal stack drops the long-lasting perfume down to only £5. Listed at the same rate I paid at the airport, Superdrug sells the 30ml for £20. The shopping tip comes in with TopCashback, anyone who buys the eau de parfum through the money-saving site's link will bag money back into their account, which is what drops the price down to a few pounds. Described as 'floreal' the DKNY scent is one of the brand's most iconic smells, less sharp than its original Green Apple one, but still displayed in its distinct apple-like bottle. The design and smell have been around for decades, from the early 2000s, reports the Daily Record. This is the first time I've personally tried the sweeter and more subtle Blossom eau de parfum. I am a repeat buyer of the original DKNY Be Delicious scent, which can be found at The Perfume Shop, from £47. I buy a bottle for myself each time I see it on offer. It just happens this time at Heathrow's sale rack there wasn't the original green apple scent. Instead, the Be Delicious Blossom resembles a pink lady apple, and is considerably more refreshing, in my view. The sole drawback I've discovered during the two weeks I've owned it is the bottle's design. Unlike other fragrances, this particular lid proves much more challenging to remove. With hints of grapefruit and apricot, several spritzes sustained me throughout the entire evening without becoming excessively overwhelming. It's also amongst those fragrances where applying it to clothing means the following day when storing garments or during washing the aroma will persist. I'm not the sole individual to adore this fragrance. Within Superdrug's review section, it states that '95% of commenters would recommend this to a friend. One customer commented: "This is a regular perfume purchase. Sometimes for myself, sometimes as a gift. "Perfect fragrance for spring/summer. Never regret it." Another buyer emphasised the fragrance's staying power, stating: "At the time of purchase, this was such a good price. Bought as a perfume for work - fresh smell and lasts all day. Would buy again." I've discovered the fragrance maintains its presence for extended periods whilst wearing it, with a couple of applications to my wrists and neck sustaining me throughout the day. Nevertheless, not all Superdrug reviewers shared this sentiment. "It fades quickly but, I am happy I tried DKNY. I prefer DKNY Nectar Love", remarked one customer. The fragrance the aforementioned shopper mentioned, DKNY Nectar Love, is available at Amazon for £29.95 for a 100ml. As the title implies, this perfume offers a considerably sweeter alternative and contains notes of honey throughout. How to get the DKNY perfume for £5:

Whilst the Mini Pillow Talk Lip Kit is fresh to market with just five five-star reviews online, the brand's sought-after Pillow Talk Fair lipstick has earned an impressive 4.5 out of five stars from over 85 online reviews. One delighted customer commented: "Finally the colour I've been waiting for from Charlotte Tilbury. It's the perfect shade for my fair complexion and lovely and light without being concealer light, it has become my go to lipstick." Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. 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. Another reviewer penned: "I didn't think this lipstick would suit me but, wow, once I'd applied it, I absolutely fell in love with it. It is a really natural nude-looking lip colour which suits any makeup look and I think it would also suit any skin tone! The packaging is also really sleek and luxurious. "Love this lipstick," someone else remarked. "It gives a lovely pinky/nude colour to my lips with a satin finish. It feels moisturising in my lips, and the colour lasted for over five hours. As usual, the packaging is very chic and classy." One shopper, however, gave the Mini Pillow Talk Lip Kit a lukewarm three-star rating, citing that the hue left them looking "washed out". Their review stated: "I bought this lipstick because the original pillow talk is not a cool shade and it doesn't suit me. "When I got it, it looked nothing like a cool pink shade. It was a creamier, lighter version of the original and it makes me look very washed out. This has been mentioned by others. Giving it a three, only because it feels nice on the lips." Conversely, another customer was thrilled with their new Charlotte Tilbury acquisition, sharing: "The Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk lipstick is a very luxurious brand to buy. "Firstly this colour is so gorgeous, subtle but vibrant at the same time. What I love the most about this product is the smell the lipstick has. It's got a gorgeous scent and it feels so moisturising on my lips. One of my favourite lipsticks to wear." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'Lovely' three piece Color Wow bundle now less than £8 when shoppers do one thing
Bargain hunting beauty fans have spotted a way to get luxury hair care essentials for a fraction of their usual price with a clever deal stack. Color Wow has become a cult favourite for shoppers looking to keep their hair sleek and shiny no matter the weather, with the iconic Supernatural Spray winning awards and celebrity endorsements aplenty. For shoppers who haven't yet tried it, or want a travel friendly bundle for the summer, the Color Wow Dream Shine Travel Kit is usually priced at £32 but has been reduced to £25.60 at LookFantastic in the brand's huge summer sale. However, there's a way to get it for less than £8 when stacking deals from a money saving website. Deals website TopCashback offers a £15 signup bonus to anyone joining their site as a free member. Shoppers can then get a percentage back on all qualifying spends at thousands of retailers, including LookFantastic. This means TopCashback members who have never shopped at LookFantastic before can effectively snap it up for an impressive £7.40 after the cashback and bonus is paid. Meanwhile existing LookFantastic shoppers will get it for £9.53 after cashback. The set includes three travel-sized products that are compact enough to fit into carry-on luggage without causing any issues on international flights. There's a 75ml bottle of the Color Security Shampoo, enriched with a Japanese amino-fortified complex to minimise the risk of breakage and split ends. As the name implies, it's also safe for coloured hair. But it's not just shampoo in the kit; there's also a 50ml Chris Appleton Money Masque for a bit of holiday pampering. It contains a blend of blue sea kale and sea kelp to reduce visible hair damage while boosting shine levels. Naturally, the set also includes the brand's cult-classic Dream Coat Supernatural Spray in a 50ml travel bottle. This anti-humidity spray requires heat to activate but then shields hair against dullness, flyaways and heat styling while promoting a glass-like shine, reports OK! Travellers looking for a way to keep their tresses in tip-top condition while on holiday are spoiled for choice this summer with hair care kits. Arkive's Head In The Clouds Kit is currently on offer at Boots, currently down to £24. It features shampoo, conditioner, a hair mask and an oil for styling. Elsewhere, Olaplex is also offering a strengthening set for £21, but Color Wow is the only brand that includes their renowned spray in the set. Meanwhile, the Color Wow bundle boasts an impressive average rating of 4.85 out of 5, with the lowest rating being four stars. A shopper commented: "This set is fab, it's great for when you go on holiday and you don't want to take the big bottles. My fave is the Supernatural Spray, it leaves your hair like glass even when it is super humid. I use it all the time now and wouldn't go on holiday without it." Another wrote: "I bought this bundle to try out the shampoo and money mask before committing to full size products. I am already a fan of the Dreamcoat Spray and the other products did not disappoint! The money mask in particular left my hair feeling softer, smoother and healthier after just one use. Definitely worth investing in the full size product." However, as the set is travel-sized, it may not last as long for those with long and thick hair, as one shopper pointed out: "Lovely little kit for a holiday. I have thick hair so doesn't last very long. Products are lovely and make my hair feel soft and sleek." Shoppers can snap up the Color Wow Dream Shine Travel Kit from as little as £7.40 at LookFantastic when using TopCashback.

Donkey Kong Bananza slashed to less than £50 with a simple Argos stack
Donkey Kong Bananza is the latest Nintendo Switch 2 game to be released and has been getting rave reviews - here's how shoppers can get the game for less than £50 Donkey Kong Bananza has finally hit the shelves, and after a relatively quiet period for the Nintendo Switch 2, the game has been met with outstandingly positive reviews. As of now, Metacritic shows an impressive score of 91/100, peppered with numerous 9/10 ratings from various review platforms, signalling that this is a must-have title. However, we're all too aware of the hefty price tags attached to Nintendo's first-party Switch titles - but fear not, as we've found a way for bargain hunters to snag the game at the lowest price out there. Argos is offering Donkey Kong Bananza for £64.99, but savvy shoppers can reduce that figure to just under £50 - making it the most wallet-friendly option available at the moment. This is possible thanks to TopCashback, which offers a £15 discount on Argos' asking price and even offers extra cashback. But how can Donkey Kong enthusiasts secure this deal? No need to fret, as we're here to guide you through the process step by step. How to get Donkey Kong Bananza for less than £50 Begin by signing up as a new member via this TopCashback link or the Get Deal link below. Find Argos on the site and hit 'Get Cashback Now'. Shop and check out as usual on the Argos website and find Donkey Kong Bananza. Cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction. For new TopCashback members and Argos customers, the total comes down to £49.18, while existing Argos patrons will pay a smidgen more, at £49.45. Critics have been raving about the game. Jordan Minor from PCMag remarked: "With Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo puts the gorilla back atop the food chain. "After all, Donkey Kong was a video game star before Mario. Bananza leverages Nintendo's years of platformer experience and blends it with new action-adventure ideas to create the best 3D hop-and-bop title in some time. "The rich, innovative, and action-packed gameplay systems let you tear through the earth itself and dig your way to victory." Yet, the game hasn't been without its technical hiccups. They noted: "The terrain destruction system, with all the variables it must consider, probably would not have worked on a weaker machine. "In fact, I experienced frame rate drops when the screen was completely showered in particles. It reminded me of slowdown in old-school shmups when the screen filled with enemies and gunfire, or building an especially elaborate contraption in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

Lego's portable toy perfect for school summer holidays now £2 with little-known deal
The school summer holidays are upon us, with exciting days out and trips away around the corner. Families embarking on thrilling adventures will want to ensure their little ones are entertained while away from home, and Lego has the perfect solution. The Creative Suitcase, consisting of 213 pieces, is the ultimate portable toy that children can take on long journeys and holidays. The charming plastic suitcase features multiple compartments filled with a variety of different coloured bricks, wheels, shapes and more in various sizes for kids to construct their own creations. This includes vehicles, animals and buildings, with the limitless possibilities encouraging children to explore their own creative building skills. The suitcase typically costs £17.99, however a handy TopCashback deal allows shoppers to grab it for as little as £2.20. New members who sign up to the money-saving site for free will receive a £15 cashback bonus that they can use at Lego, reducing the cost of the suitcase to only £2.20. Existing TopCashback members can also save a little, bringing the price down to £17.20. As reported by the Mirror, the Creative Suitcase isn't just for children, with Lego stating it's designed for 'ages four to 99'. It would make the ideal starter set for anyone entering the world of Lego, and is also a fantastic way to add pieces to one's ever-expanding collection. For those looking to keep the kids entertained over the school holidays with more building sets, Amazon has a deal on a similar Classic Building Bricks Set for Kids costing £12.34. This set includes 1,200 pieces in various colours and sizes, suitable for children aged six and up. If you prefer shopping at Argos, they offer the Chad Valley PlaySmart Wooden Block Set for £10, appropriate for little ones 12 months and older. It comes with 80 blocks and is designed to enhance children's understanding of shapes, colours, and sizes. The Creative Suitcase has earned an impressive 4.5-star rating on the Lego website. A thrilled customer remarked: "Great for budding builders. I bought this set for my son who turned four this year. This was his first Lego set and he really enjoyed building basic builds with it. It enhances the creativity of a young builder, great value for the money. I'm happy with the purchase." Another person shared their experience: "I bought this as a present for my nephew and he was playing with all the Lego pieces for hours. It was great to see him building different things and never getting bored. The instructions are easy to read and it's fun for the whole family. I highly recommend this." One Lego customer was left feeling slightly let down by the Creative Suitcase, sharing: "Great selection of pieces inside to build many different things, but the box that they come in could be better. The red locks pop off easy and the dividers on the inside slide out easily, as well. Buy for the pieces, not the box." Another Lego enthusiast, however, was over the moon, commenting: "Great choice for a kid you are just introducing to Lego building. It lets them see what can be done in various ways before graduating to more skilled things." Another person added: "We ordered this to have as spare pieces. It's super cute and can be used to travel with Lego." To grab the Creative Suitcase for only £2.20, new members can join TopCashback for free here. Search for 'Lego', click 'Get Cashback Now', then shop as normal and checkout on the Lego website. The cashback should track and show up in the TopCashback account within seven working days of purchase. Once Lego has paid the commission to TopCashback, the £15 cashback will become payable and can be withdrawn and spent.
