We can relax, sip a cup of coffee, and enjoy some much-deserved me time now that the weekend is upon us. That involves engaging in some retail therapy for many people, including our fashion and beauty writers.
On a Saturday morning, shopping from the comfort of your own home and in your pyjamas is much less stressful than the snaking queues and overwhelming crowds of the town center.
And that’s where we’re here to help. Eve and Tiff, our fashion and beauty experts, have carefully selected the items from Nobody’s Child and Morphe to The Outset and Ella & Jo to share with you on the week’s end wishlist. whether it’s something they’ve tried, tested, and adored, noticed on their favorite A-lister, or something brand-new that just came out and deserves praise.

The Vegan Collagen Firming Prep Serum is available at Outset.
Founded by Scarlett Johansson, who is on a mission to create clean formulas for sensitive skin, this Prep Serum has become the Hollywood icon’s go-to skincare product.
Although spending hours in the studio working in harsh lighting caused her skin to feel dry and her makeup to look bad, she claimed this Prep Serum, which, quoting her, “does not pill under makeup” created a wonderful canvas for her.
It’s an all-in-one product that hydrates, boosts radiance, plumps out fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes radiance and reduces hyper-pigmentation and age spots, and it does so by using vegan collagen and a line-up of superfood extracts.
You can get it at Cult Beauty here, £46.
Molton Brown Bluebell &, Wild Strawberry Perfume
Molton Brown’s new Bluebell and Wild Strawberry EDP, £140, is an ode to the quiet, sensuous assault of spring.
Created by senior perfumer Véronique Nyberg, the green notes of this fragrance set it apart from other floral, fruity scents, with galbanum and violet leaf bringing a rich “forest-like” facet to complement light and fresh bluebell and wild strawberry.
The scent is a unique yet refreshing, ideal for the upcoming spring season. Molton Brown’s bestselling Bath &, Shower Gel, and Body Lotion, as well as gift sets starting at £18, include the Bluebell and Wild Strawberry fragrance.
Here you can find the entire Bluebell and Wild Strawberry line.
Le Crueset On The Go Collection
When it comes to high-quality, aesthetic cookware, you can’t go wrong with Le Crueset. Fans are obsessed with the hand-made enamelled cast iron and vibrant colors that the French cookware giant manufactures.
The company has now entered a new market for taking out and about. Enter: the On The Go range, featuring two food containers, a hot drink flask and hydration bottles in two sizes.
The insulated Hydration Bottles, available in 500ml (£35) and 1litre (£40), have two openings – a narrow one on top for easy sipping and a large one perfect for adding ice cubes, mint leaves or lemon slices. Coffee lovers can try the 350ml Travel Mug (£30) instead.
The stainless steel lunch box, which is also new, is a $35 item that is perfect for sandwiches or salads. The 3-in-1 design makes it suitable for preserving leftovers, storing ingredients, and taking food on the go.
For those looking for something to store their morning porridge or hot soup, the double-walled, vacuum-insulated Food Flask, £35, is perfect to keep every drop tightly sealed inside.

Morphe Love Bite Lip Stain
Multi-purpose or hybrid makeup has been huge lately and I recently found this Morphe Love Bite Lip Stain that does not rub off easily.
With three fruit scents to choose from – Berry Wild, Melon Nectar and Grape Kisser – the hydrating lippie gives lightweight, sheer-to-medium coverage with a stained effect.
The color stayed put even after my morning coffee and lunch, so I didn’t need to touch up throughout the day. The formula isn’t sticky either, but when it comes to removal, be sure to use a good cleanser on a cotton pad to get off any remaining residue.

Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush Recipe
Glow Recipe has introduced the Dewy Flush, a tinted cheek serum that is available in two shades: watermelon flush and berry flush, after its viral success and approval from Sienna Miller.
The perfect finishing touch to a skincare regimen is with these sheer, buildable tints, which enhance the skin’s natural flush while allowing its true radiance to shine through. The Dewy Flush has a natural yet buildable color, similar to the Watermelon Glow family.
Use a few dots to blend each cheek with your fingers or sponge to achieve the desired flushed look by applying a few dots to each cheek as the final step of your skincare regimen.

Dunelm’s Monochrome Mosaic Edge Round Wall Mirror
I adore a mirror that has a little something about it, like this one from Dunelm, which is covered in a monochrome check mosaic border and gives a room a lot of character.
It costs £90 and measures tH 80. 6 cm by W 80. 6 cm by D 4 4 cm; the beauty of that is that it will reflect light back and make the room feel much bigger. Monochrome black and white mirrors are versatile with almost any type of decor because they complement pretty much any setting.

Ella &, Jo’s Plump &, Protect SPF30 Day Cream
If you’re wanting to try and new face cream that leaves your skin glowing, plumped, hydrated and protected, I highly recommend Ella &, Jo’s plump and protect cream. I’ve been using it for a while, and I really like how silky, dewy it is on my skin. It absorbs quickly and is similar to Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream (a cream I give myself on special occasions). It is relatively thick but not too much to make you feel it on your face. Plus, it smells divine – floral but not overbearing, nor does it irritate my eyes as some fragranced creams do.
It’s a wise investment at £36, with advantages like smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines as well as improving skin tone. Although it may cost some money, I can assure you that you only need a pea-sized amount because a little can go a long way, which will ensure that you’ll be well-used.
Cat Deeley and Rochelle Humes have even given it the seal of approval. One enthralled Amazon reviewer commented that it “makes the skin soft and smooth,” but another added that “I don’t find my makeup to sit as nicely on top of this as a little lotion with a texture.”
Purchase it from Amazon or Debenhams.
Nobody’s Child’s Black Gingham Shirred Jumpsuit
Although we’re still in the middle of February, Nobody’s Child recently dropped some of their summer 2025 pieces, including this gingham jumpsuit, which has me yearning for the sunshine. Although I’m a sucker for a jumpsuit at times, when a piece of this kind has a wide leg, a comfortable shirred bodice, and pockets, I’d say hook, line, and sinker.
The Black Gingham Shirred Jumpsuit costs £82, so it’ll be a treat come payday, and comes in sizes 4 to 18. The jumper, which is made of 100% organic cotton, has a sleeveless cut and adorable tie-fastenings at the back, leaving a small cut between the final tie and waistband for the pantser legs.
Before escaping into the wide legs, the shirred bodice ensures maximum comfort and ideal figure flattering. This would look great for a summertime party look with some vibrant wedges and a blazer, or for a light coffee with trainers and a denim jacket.

Next’s Blue/Pink Pull On Gingham Trousers
Next has been a hit lately with its designs, and this pair of gingham pull-on trousers really caught my eye thanks to their bright and cheerful pink and blue check pattern, which is a great way to keep summery outfits going. Despite it being absolutely freezing outside, this pair of gingham pull-ons really caught my eye. The trousers, which cost £25, have a drawstring waist tie for maximum comfort and a wide leg for maximum breathability.
The trousers have side pockets for your immediate necessities and are easy to put on for morning rushes. They are made of cotton. Let the bold pink and blue pattern speak for themselves while requiring little effort to style.
I would pair them with a graphic tee that has at least one of the same colors, layered with gold jewelry, and a pair of handbags and sandals to go with them for the summer. However, they could also be used in the winter, with some thermals underneath. You’re done when you switch out sandals for trainers or boots and add a pink or blue cardi to the top of the tee.
