‘This new £7 glow-boosting skin tint instantly makes me look less tired’

Superdrug has a new, affordable skin tint that is foolproof to apply and instantly improves skin appearance, whether it’s tired or jet-lagged.

Always on the lookout for the perfect face base that keeps my skin looking radiant, bright, and even-toned while still looking completely natural, I enjoy trying out new foundations, tinted moisturisers, and skin tints.

There have been some pretty strong contenders launch this year for me – including Dior Forever Hydra Nude and Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint – but I’ve hit upon a surprising new contender – and it costs just £6.99.

For “instant glowing skin,” according to the high street make-up brand Collection Cosmetics, the lightweight and buildable face base containing niacinamide, squalane, and vitamin C has just been released. It costs £6.99 from Superdrug and Boots and is available in eight different shades.

I admit that I did have some reservations about how effective this might be because I love my skin looking the best it can with foundation and other face bases being one of the make-up products I don’t mind spending a little extra money on. I’ve been very impressed, though.

Although I always use a brush to apply makeup to my face, this also works really well with fingers because it can be easily blended and dabbed on just where you need it.

Instant glow is achieved in a flattering, all-natural manner, just as it’s supposed to be. When I first boarded a 16-hour flight, my skin was looking particularly gray and tired, and I immediately noticed a lot of improvement. Despite how good my skin looked, I occasionally caught my reflection throughout the day.

It felt very comfortable to wear, and I didn’t find that it grew creases or went over the years like I do with some skin tints.

Despite Collection’s claim that it “lasts up to 24 hours,” I discovered that it had a slight fade by the middle of the afternoon, as with most skin tints and light coverage products that give glow rather than mattify. I’m completely convinced that this is a great everyday face base for a great price.

Additionally, I’d like to see a few more shades in the range. There isn’t much at the darker end of the skin tone spectrum despite the fact that they are very flexible (meaning that the formula stretches over more shades than a fuller coverage product would) due to how sheer they are. (For reference, I wear shade 2 Fair.)

Our Mirror beauty team has tested a lot of different skin types this year, as well as some new favorites worth checking out. One of my best beauty launches of 2025 is Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint, which is priced at £34. It has been a huge hit with beauty editors this year and lasts longer than most.

Our vote goes to Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation, £49, for something creamier and more hydrating, perhaps if your skin is more dry. They don’t come much nicer feeling than this, despite being expensive if you want sheer-to-light coverage. This feels incredibly hydrating on the skin without appearing overly shiny or dewy, which is more similar to a tinted moisturiser, IMO, but with a little more coverage and longevity.

BBC Strictly’s Vicky Pattison left upset after Kai Widdrington notices ‘awful’ habit’

After her Strictly partner Kai Widdrington exposed how she acts during rehearsals on the Get A Grip podcast, Nicky Pattison’s fans were enthralled.

Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison’s partner Kai Widdrington has revealed a hilarious behind-the-scenes habit.

Appearing together on the Get A Grip podcast hosted by Angela Scanlon, 41, and the TV star, 30, Kai teased that his celebrity partner pulls funny facial expressions during training. “We discovered this week the ‘Stank face’,” the 30-year-old joked. “When she’s really trying she’ll (acts it out).”

Vicky responded, “It’s like a toddler is pooing.” It’s terrible. And I’m not proud of it. I’m really upset. Vicky laughed and said, “Yeah, it’s like an old man,” while Angela chimed in, “It’s like an upside-down puppy.” Vicky has been open about the pressures of the competition this week. The 37-year-old acknowledged that training felt like a “baptism of fire” in a recent interview with Women’s Health UK.

She said, “All the pros are carved like angels, and I’m in my gym gear sweating all the way.”

It’s “both intimidating and overwhelming.” However, you rarely get the chance to step out of your comfort zone as you age. I enjoy demonstrating my ability.

Vicky fears that her cardio might prevent her from building physical strength despite her efforts to do so through weightlifting, Pilates, and charity treks. She continued, “Everyone is so fit.

Vicky said in her earlier reality TV days that she felt less pressure entering the I’m A Celebrity… jungle in 2015. She said, “Everyone thought you were an arsehole, but you knew you could go in and change people’s perceptions,” a friend once said to her.

“I’ve worked for ten years to make it known to people that I was young, making mistakes, and not being the best version of myself,” I said. “I’m afraid that I’ll stumble under the spotlight.”

The Heart radio presenter also revealed she’s returned to therapy. “Maybe it’s working-class feelings of being undeserving. Maybe it’s deep-rooted self-doubt. I don’t know what it is, but it’s all come back,” she said.

Last week on Strictly Come Dancing, the Geordie Shore star and her partner performed a Gatsby‑themed Charleston and earned a total of 25 points from the judges, despite receiving mixed feedback from the judges.

Paris Fury pulls nappies as she candidly shares her essentials in £4k designer Chanel bag

With her favorite beauty essentials and nappies pulled from a stunning Chanel handbag, Paris Fury has surprised fans by revealing what she carries daily.

Paris Fury has shown off the humble items she keeps inside her £4,000 designer handbag.

The 35-year-old recently opened up her designer handbag in a clip shared at the launch event for Eternal Collagen in London in an exclusive video chat with the Mirror. The busy mum-of-seven revealed her practical and beauty essentials she carries daily. Inside her Chanel bag were nappies, baby wipes, a hair clip, Charlotte Tilbury lipstick and lip liner, her mobile phone, and a bottle of Eternal Collagen.

The launch party celebrated Paris’s partnership with the brand’s new premium collagen, which contains 15, 000 mg of marine collagen per serving. At the chic London event on Thursday, Paris was present to celebrate the occasion and introduce the product.

As she opened up her handbag the first item she pulled out was a bright orange floral hair clip. She says: “In my handbag I have my hair clip, tie my hair back when I’m busy.” The mum of seven then pulled out a pile of nappies along with a pack of baby wipes as she explains: “As a mum, I have that, I always have that.”

Paris shared her thoughts on two of her favorite lip products, which she claims to use to enhance and define her lips naturally. Paris reveals to them, “I love having a lipstick and lip liner.” This Pillow Talk Charlotte Tilbury lip balm is applied to my cheeks, lips, and cheeks, and, with a little darker liner, instantly freshens you up, even when you’re wearing no makeup.

She then pulled out a box of collagen, which she claims she carries “always with me so I don’t forget to take it.” She then took her phone out.

The busy mother made the announcement shortly after she spoke about her family life in a TV interview.

Paris was in the This Morning studio this week as she chatted to Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, sharing details about her daughter Venezuela Fury’s wedding plans.

Venezuela Fury, who recently tied the knot with her boyfriend Noah Price, at her 16th birthday party, said she was “really is happy.” The teen posted a message to her TikTok account a few days after their engagement to confirm that she is thrilled to be their fiancé.

Her mother Paris acknowledged that the news had shocked her child when she explained it. Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged, she said to the teen. Both are young, but both are already well-known! Still shocked but delighted for you both. Your father and I both couldn’t be prouder, xxx @tysonfury.

Paris, who hasn’t been in a hurry with Ben and Cat, said she has no worries about the young couple after many people expressed concern over the teen’s age on air.

Paris gushed, “Venezuela is so mature for her years.” I can’t dispute that she has accomplished so much in such a short amount of time due to both her personality and the fact that she has six younger brothers and sisters who she has helped raise.

She is very mature, and I’ve been working with Venezuela for the past year, doing various shoots, interviews, and using social media. She chose this path despite my best efforts to give her in life.

Because I was 17 when I got engaged, I can’t deny her. How can I, in any way, judge her if she is obviously following my example? She is young, I am aware. However, I believe she has found the person she loves, and I pledge to support her in every way.

Prince Harry and Meghan served ‘wake up call’ sparked by ‘coded’ Prince George photo

Less than two years after their wedding, Harry and Meghan made the announcement that they would no longer serve as royals. And a knowledgeable expert claims that a picture of their nephew prompted their decision.

After having their first face-to-face meeting in months, many hope Prince Harry and King Charles can get their fragile relationship back on track.

It comes after Harry claimed his father previously wasn’t speaking to him after a family fall out. Issues between the Sussexes and the royals can be traced back to the time they decided to quit royal life. And it according to one royal author, was a photo fo the Firm featuring Prince George that proved to be a ‘wake up call’ for Harry and his wife Meghan, and cemented their decision to quit life in the UK.

The image in question showed the late Queen with her three heirs, the then-Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George, who was six at the time, in the throne room at Buckingham Palace to mark the dawn of a new decade in 2020.

Just a few days prior to Harry and Meghan’s initial announcement that they would step down as working royals, the announcement was made. On first glance, the image merely reflected the monarchy’s future and mirrored many of its historical portraits. However, it is claimed that behind the scenes things got sour.

Andrew Morton wrote in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess that the royal couple believed the institution was conspiring against them as a whole. The evidence was everywhere for them as they saw it. With or without Meghan and Harry, the unwritten code provided for the monarchy’s future.

Morton further explained that Harry and Meghan had begun considering leaving The Firm sooner than the general consensus, and that negotiations started six months after their wedding, according to Morton in his podcast Pod Save The King. He claimed that Harry and Oprah Winfrey were engaged in a conversation in a hotel in London in November 2018. They therefore considered a different mode of transportation very early on.

A source earlier this week claimed that Harry’s latest move, in part due to his security arrangements in the UK, does run the risk of being reconciled with his father.

An insider close to the Duke of Sussex said that he wrote to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood shortly after her appointment to the role and submitted a formal request for a risk assessment to the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), overseen by the Home Office.

It comes after Harry lost an appeal in May challenging the Home Office’s decision to grant him a different level of taxpayer-funded protection while he is in the country.

Since he left his royal role, he is no longer automatically entitled to police protection, and he is currently receiving “bespoke” protection on a case-by-case basis.

But now a source has told The Sunday Times that his letter to Ms Mahmood, will make the King ‘wary’ of speaking to his younger son, saying: “It’s not going to help matters. We’re back to where we were.”

Harry’s family had previously suggested the King might have intervened, but palace sources have refrained from doing so.

According to The Sunday Times, the King and his advisers hoped that the Court of Appeal decision would sever a gap in the conflict and aid in Harry’s recovery.

Molly-Mae Hague’s ‘stunning’ Tom Ford perfume is down to £5 in money-saving deal

The hit HBO series Behind It All has a new season on Amazon Prime, which the former Love Island star previously enjoyed.

Behind It All, a popular television show starring Molly-Mae Hague, has a new season. Although the 26-year-old businesswoman frequently shares snippets of her social media feeds, including her favorite beauty products, fans will get a glimpse into her busy life.

One of the perfumes Molly-Mae loves is just so happen to be available for £5, according to the woman who claims it to be “just stunning.” The designer scent retails for £45 for 30ml, but those who want to try it first can purchase a Tom Ford discovery set for £30, which includes the former Love Islander’s signature Soleil Blanc eau de toilette.

The set includes six Tom Ford fragrances in sample sizes, including the Black Orchid Eau De Parfum, Noir Extreme Eau De Parfum, Ombré Leather Eau De Parfum, Eau De Soleil Blanc Eau De Toilette, Costa Azzurra Eau De Parfum, and Grey Vetiver Eau De Parfum, priced at £5 per fragrance.

According to MyLondon, Molly-Mae once expressed her love for the Soleil Blanc scent, adding that it was “absolutely stunning.” After a day of sunbathing, it gives you a holiday evening.

Its “divine” scent, which is considered to be unisex, includes notes of pistachio and cardamom, as well as hints of orange bitter, ylang ylang, and coco de mer accords. This fragrance might appeal to those who enjoy the Maison Margiela Beach Walk ($29, Space NK), which has a few notes in common.

The £10 markdown on Marks and Spencer’s Sweet Pistachio Eau de Toilette 100ml is also available for pistachio lovers. This fragrance has received positive reviews as “perfect for day or night.”

This Tom Ford discovery set does not include the beloved Molly-Mae scent in its eau de toilette version, but rather the eau de parfum version. The difference is that the fragrant oils are less concentrated and have a concentration of between 5 and 15%, according to EDT. This implies that the scents may not be the same as they are, but they may be similar in quality and duration.

Customers have said of the discovery set as a “good opportunity to test all these, before purchasing anything bigger and more expensive,” which is a great opportunity for those wanting to try out Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc perfume before buying a full size.

One Soleil Blanc fan specifically said, “This is such a light perfume with the most beautiful scent. I have a lot of different perfumes, but I always end up with my all-time favorite until I smell this one in a coworker, so I bought it myself.

Another praised the body spray’s “absolutely divine fragrance that lasts the entire day on me.” When I wore this, I received so many compliments. Thought it would be perfect for the summer, but I still use it now because I adore the scent. I’ll undoubtedly purchase again. Tempted to spend the winter on the Soleil Neige.

While many people claim that this scent lasts for a long time, others claim that it is not the case. One disgruntled customer remarked, “I have got two Tom Ford perfumes and I am absolutely blown away how little the smell lasts on both of them, a maximum of 20 minutes, absolutely ridiculous for the price.”

The discovery set’s only flaw was that the bottles are a sample size, which was the only criticism. One person speculated that the bottles would be bigger. Although this was given as a gift, the recipient ended up choosing a full-size of their favorite from the selection because it was a good one.

Beatrice and Eugenie’s ‘next move revealed’ – ‘they couldn’t live with themselves’

After their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, relinquish their official titles in response to yet another devastating incident in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Sister Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice must now navigate a brand-new reality.

Thoughts have turned to his daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice as Prince Andrew’s most recent bombshell announcement shocked the Royal Family.

Even after their controversial father loses his job, the princesses will still be able to keep their titles as parents. Prince Andrew was christened Duke of York after his 1986 union with Sarah Ferguson, a title that Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved father, King George VI, held prior to his coronation.

Now, Andrew, 65, will relinquish his titles and honours as his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein continues to cast a shadow over the royal family. This decision comes mere days before the posthumous publication of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, which makes reference to her alleged meeting with Andrew.

Prince Andrew stated in a statement from yesterday (Friday, October 18) that “we have concluded that the ongoing accusations against me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.” I’ve made the decision to prioritize my duty to my family and country as I always have. Five years ago, I made the decision to leave the public.

We now feel like I must proceed one step further with His Majesty’s consent. I’ll no longer use my title or the honors that have been mys. I vehemently refute the accusations I have been accused of making.

While Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, will reportedly not be affected by Andrew’s latest move, they will also still be welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations. However, the road ahead will likely be a difficult one for the York sisters, whom former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond argues must believe wholeheartedly in their father’s innocence.

Jennie exclusively told the Mirror: “Whatever else you might think about Andrew and Sarah, they are brilliant parents and have brought up two very decent young women. They will remain Princesses and be welcome at events with the rest of the Royal Family, such as Christmas at Sandringham.

They have, however, maintained their loyalty to their parents throughout the entire process. They’ll be there for Andrew and Sarah through this most recent crisis, just as they’ve done in the past. They must believe the innocence protests of their fathers. They couldn’t possibly live with themselves, surely.

Sarah, the princesses’ mother, who divorced Andrew in 1996, will now also renounce her titles.

The 66-year-old mother of two was dropped by a number of charities after receiving a 2011 email from Epstein after he was found guilty of prostitution in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution. The then Duchess apologized in public for criticizing the sex offender and made the claim that she was “supreme friend” in this exchange.
