Beauty fans are in for a treat this month as Black Friday discounts are dropping early, with some already live – and now Charlotte Tilbury has joined in the mix. And the deals on offer help shoppers save up to 50% on some of its best-selling products.

Having launched this week, fans of the cult-favourite beauty brand will be pleased to hear its viral mystery boxes are back in shades Pretty Pink and Cheeky Peach for the shopping event, both of which are now half-price. As they sold out rapidly last year, we can’t see these bundles sticking around for long. Featuring four beauty buys, the Charlotte’s Beauty Treats Mystery Box costs £51 instead of its usual £103 and contains a selection of makeup and skincare icons.

While its contents tucked inside the crimson boxes are not known, from the brand’s subtle teaser images – which offer a sneak peak – it looks like the bundle includes a moisturiser, lipstick, mascara and palette. And while we know the two boxes will have shoppers donning either a pink look or more of a peachy vibe, the exact shades and styles are a secret until they are opened, even to us.

But that’s not all as Charlotte Tilbury has introduced a brand new mystery haul in its Black Friday offers that saves shoppers £100 on six mystery products. The Charlotte’s Mystery Beauty Icons L.O.V.E. Bag, now £100, contains six products, one of which is the award-winning Magic Cream – which costs £54 alone. Alongside the five other mystery items, shoppers will also get a heart-shaped L.O.V.E bag (worth £55) as an extra treat.

Looking on the website, it appears the new Mystery Bag will also likely contain a compact, lipstick, mascara and more, all of which can fit inside the free bag (bar the 30ml Magic Cream).

A favourite among skincare fans and celebrity MUAs alike, the cream has an impressive 4.6 star-rating on Charlotte Tilbury, with beauty buffs raving about its quick absorbancy, lightweight texture and ‘gorgeous’ scent. One person shared their experience and said: “This is the best face cream I’ve found. Makes my face feel fresh and helps with my aging. Highly recommend.”

Another added: “I am a 53 year old female and have been using magic cream for almost 2 years and i will never go back to my previous product. It glides on the skin and gives me an instant radianc and my skin feels firmer. I feel like the aging process has been halted since using this product.”

Although not everyone was quite as impressed, as one person remarked: “Product is average, doesn’t do much magic as I expected. No major hydration seen or gloss seen.”

Detailing the new Black Friday bargain, the brand explains: “Filled with 6 globally-loved makeup + skincare icons for the party look of your dreams, you get the limited-edition heart-shaped bag for FREE – it includes a detachable handbag chain so you can dazzle at the disco this party season!”

While the Charlotte Tilbury Mystery hauls haven’t received any comments just yet – having just launched – shoppers from previous years have praised the quality and delight of the items, with one person on TrustPilot revealing: “The mystery box was a smash! Loved it and the palette.” Although they did note: “The only negative I could possibly have is the packages seems very drugstore, not at all what I expected I’m sorry to say.”

Popstar Charli XCX was worried her label were going to drop her because of her BRAT album that became her most successful yet – and hinted at a potential release of new music soon

Global popstar Charli XCX has admitted she thought she was going to be dropped by her label after her BRAT album as she feared it was ‘so out there’.

The singer topped the charts with her album BRAT, which also saw her win five Brit Awards, but in a chat with Gwyneth Paltrow on her GOOP podcast, Charli said she wasn’t thinking about the response to her album while she was making it.

The Party 4 U singer said: “I think when I was making it, I wasn’t thinking about the response at all. I actually made this record being like, ‘OK, I’m just going to do this one for me and maybe I’m going to get dropped by my label and that’s fine’. That was kind of the headspace that I was in.”

She also said there is a “lot of luck with timing” and the way that culture is moving, and added: “I think when I released this record, it’s like people were wanting something that felt very real and messy. And I think that’s just the way that culture was swinging.”

The album became the start of a cultural movement known as Brat Summer, a phenomenon that took over pop culture with its flurry of radioactive-green text memes and endless references to the album and themes of party girls of many genders, late nights, late mornings, and drugs.

After her success of BRAT, Charli, who recently married boyfriend and The 1975 drummer George Daniel, had hinted she was going to take a break from making music, however she has now teased there could be more in the pipelines, and completely different to what she’s previously released. “I’m really interested to see what comes next in pop culture, especially in the music space, what people are ­craving.

“I really like to work in contrast. I think whatever I do next will just inherently be different to Brat because that’s what feels natural. I’m exploring a lot of stuff with strings at the moment, which I’m really enjoying and I haven’t really worked in that space before.”

The star has also revealed she’s heading for the big screen too, with a number of movies on the way including Faces Of Death and I Want Your Sex.

Now branching into acting, she said: “And don’t get me wrong, I love making music, but I think there was just a point where I was kind of like, OK, I really need to exercise my creativity in a different way. I don’t actually really listen to that much music ever. I never really have. But what I am doing is I’m always watching films.”

Loose Women panellist Denise Welch opened up about adjusting to a health condition she hadn’t realised she had, following many years of struggling with depression

Loose Women’s Denise Welch has admitted she “completely underestimated” a condition she was diagnosed with in recent years. The actress has been candid about her struggle with depression over the years, but in 2022 she discovered she also has ADHD.

According to the NHS, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a condition that affects how the brain functions. Symptoms can include difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

Denise found out she had ADHD after being offered an assessment through Loose Women, following her co-star Nadia Sawalha’s own diagnosis and suspicions.

Discussing the discovery, the 67-year-old said: “To me, depression had always been my illness. I’d never considered that anything else was there.

“And I thought, well if it’s just that I interrupt a lot, sometimes girls that’s because you’re boring me, you know, I’m not going to take tablets because I interrupt a lot, or maybe I sort of go off on a tangent, thinking that’s maybe what it was, so I did the whole thing [assessment].

“And needless to say, I was diagnosed ADHD. And it’s only now on my second attempt at medication, which came after a breakdown last year, [my] first in five years, that I’ve realised how I had completely underestimated the impact of ADHD on me running parallel with my depression.”

Discussing how earlier awareness may have helped her understand her diagnosis, Denise added: “And if I had shown signs before I had Matthew, if maybe there was more money spent on women’s health, they would find a huge link between ADHD and postnatal depression, severe postnatal depression.”

The Loose Women star battled with depression after the birth of her first child, The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

She refers to this illness as “the unwelcome visitor”, which led her to resort to alcohol and drugs in an attempt to escape it.

“My cocaine dependency didn’t start until my late thirties,” she revealed to Elizabeth Day on her How To Fail podcast.

She further explained that she was initially “vehemently against” drugs in her twenties and “had no desire to have anything more than a drink on a Friday [or] Saturday night with my friends”.

“That was me, but my desperation to lift this immovable depression led me to what will do it? That will,” Denise added.

The actress, who has been clean for over a decade now, continued: “When I’ve been depressed subsequently in the last four years and I have taken my ADHD tablet, it has the same effect, but not the I’m going to drink and smoke effect.”

If you suspect you may be dealing with depression or ADHD, it’s important to consult your GP for guidance and support. Help and advice can also be found on the NHS website.

While Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz snub David Beckham’s knighthood amid their tense ongoing row, Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel has taken to social media to gush about her love for his parents

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, has posted a very gushing tribute to David and Victoria Beckham and their “truly good” characters. This came shortly after Nicola Peltz-Beckham, who is married to Brooklyn, snubbed David’s knighthood.

Jackie joined the Beckhams for an intimate dinner, as the family celebrated the former football’s momentous milestone. At the dinner, she wore a yellow satin dress designed by Victoria’s clothing brand.

This wasn’t the only tribute she paid to her boyfriend’s parents, as she also took to Instagram to share her love for them. She posted pictures from the dinner to Instagram, in which she and Cruz put on a loved up display. The post came with a long caption, sharing how much she adored David and Victoria.

“There’s nothing quite as beautiful as seeing deserving and truly GOOD people achieve their dreams,” she wrote. “What an inspiration to everyone to always keep going and never lose your character, drive but also kindness. No matter how crazy a dream is or how long it could take.

“I am repeating myself but to me, the most inspiring thing to see is how you both support each others ambitions. You’re dedicated not only to yourselves reaching your maximum potential but also, each other. And you celebrate each win as if it was your own.

“You master the balance between that and just plain love and family time every day, and there’s nothing more aspirational than that. congratulations on yet another unbelievable and well deserved milestone @davidbeckham , @victoriabeckham and the whole family.”

Victoria responded in the comments with a much shorter, but nevertheless touching, statement: “Your beautiful words mean so much x we love u xx”

The majority of the Beckham family posted messages of support for David as he received his knighthood, and three of his children – Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven – went with him to Windsor Castle. But his eldest son Brooklyn was absent from the ceremony, the dinner and the flurry of online messages, as was his wife, Nicola.

The pair snubbed the milestone, much like they snubbed his 50th birthday and the premiere of Victoria’s Netflix documentary. They are thought to be feuding with Beckham family.

When the couple renewed their vows earlier this year, they didn’t invite Brooklyn’s family, but were surrounded by Nicola’s. Likewise, rather than congratulate David on his knighthood, Nicola gushed about her sister on social media.

She shared a bunch of flowers sent to her by Brittany Peltz and said: “Omg @brittanyleahpeltz thank you so so so much these are breathtaking.”

Shoppers loved the look of the ‘beautiful’ jeans when they were featured in a viral video

Primark shoppers are going wild for ‘beautiful’ £28 jeans – and the popular style resembles a pricier alternative. Known for offering affordable clothing and accessories, Primark continues to maintain its reputation among high street shoppers. Fashion fans fell in love with the retailer’s Straight Leg Embellished Jeans when they were featured in a viral video by Chloe Mitchell, who posts on TikTok under the username @Glowybychloe.

In a video shared with her 528k followers, Chloe filmed herself searching for the jeans in Primark. She then shared her honest first impression, thinking the jeans looked like they could be from another brand.

Chloe said: “Oh my gosh, they are beautiful. £28, but if they were in Zara or something, I reckon they would be like £50 or £60.” Introducing the jeans on its website, Primark said: “With a mid-rise waist and a straight leg design, these jeans are made from 100% cotton and finished with embellished diamantés!”

Viewers loved the jeans when they reacted to the video, which garnered over 15k likes and numerous comments from excited shoppers. One fan wrote: “Can’t wait to see the try on. They are a lush colour denim.”

A second viewer replied: “Omg I need to run to Primark.” A similar comment said: “I need to find these!!” Meanwhile, another fan commented: “Love.”

Someone else said: “Well I saw some in anthropology that were £138. So this is defo good to know.” A Zara fan added: “Zara do have a lighter wash pair with more diamantés for £50 they are stunning”

The jeans could also impress Next shoppers looking for an alternative to the retailer’s £45 Threadbare Blue Embellished Baggy Wide Leg Jeans. While the pricier jeans could impress Next fans searching for a standout style, the Primark jeans look similar but come with a lower price tag. As such, the Primark style could appeal to shoppers seeking attention-grabbing jeans at a lower price.

There are differences between the two styles, which include the cut of the jeans. Primark opted for a straight-leg style, whereas Next’s jeans are offered in a baggy, wide-leg style. However, the indigo colour of the jeans and the embellished detailing look remarkably similar, and the jeans could be worn with the same outfits.

Introducing the jeans, Next said: “Upgrade your denim with these embellished baggy wide-leg jeans from Threadbare. Baggy wide leg fit. Rhinestone embellishments across the front. Five-pocket design. Metal shank button and zip fastening. Rigid denim.”

Pint-sized popstar Kylie Minogue was on dazzling form as she met Prince William in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Wednesday, for the celeb-filled Earthshot Prize.

The 57-year-old singer – who recently joined the race for the Christmas Number One with brand-new tune XMAS, joined other A-listers at the event, set up by the Prince to help bring about ground-breaking solutions to repair and regenerate the planet across the globe.

Turning heads in a beige tulle mini-dress with cream circular leather cut-outs, matched with a pair of gold heels, the visibly glowing hitmaker looked in good spirits as she posed on the red carpet before meeting the royal.

Kylie’s Rio appearance comes just months after she performed in São Paulo as part of her Tension tour, which was her first performance in the Latin American country for a whopping 17 years.

Prince Wiilliam, who like his father King Charles has long been passionate about climate issues, founded the now world-famous prize back in 2020 to help inspire inventors and entrepreneurs to develop innovative technologies that will fight global warming and help mitigate its impact.

At the event, which saw Prince William look dapper as he recycled a Tom Ford tuxedo and black tie for the event, the heir to the throne was greeted by cheers and lively Samba band and Carnival dancers as he arrived at the museum.

A total of five finalists compete for a £1 million prize each, awarded across five categories, with the funds used to develop their innovative ideas.

A pre-event trailer for the awards entitled Meet the World’s True Action Heroes includes a voiceover by actor Matthew McConaughey and presents the 15 finalists for the prize, who the Prince said he was ‘deeply proud of’ when they were revealed last month.

Performing live at the ceremony alongside singer Shawn Mendes, Kylie said: ‘It’s a privilege and an honour to be part of The Earthshot Prize in Rio – on stage with the people and the ideas that could save our planet.’

Also set to perform are Brazilian music legend and former Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, rising country star Anitta, and acclaimed singer Seu Jorge.

Hosted by Brazilian broadcaster Luciano Huck, among the award presenters at the show will be sports stars Marcos Evangelista de Morais, AKA Cafu, the ex-Brazilian defender; four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel, and Txai Surui, who campaigns on behalf of Brazil’s Indigenous communities – as well as the environment.

It is a milestone year for Earthshot, which in 2025 has raised a record £24million in one year, its highest to date, according to accounts filed at Companies House.

Over £23 million of this came in via hefty donations, including £5 million from The American Friends of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princes of Wales – William and Catherine’s other charitable organisation.

This year the action takes place in Brazil – last year the glitzy high-profile awards ceremony took place in an eco-dome in Cape Town, South Africa, with the Prince spending four days in the country for a visit billed as Earthshot Week.
