If you discover that this area of the face has additional needs (signs of ageing, sensitivity, dryness, etc.), eye cream can be a great addition to your skincare regimen. A powerful new eye cream has just been released that claims to reduce line, puffiness, and dark circles while also offering a visible eye lift effect in 30 seconds.

Clarins, a renowned beauty brand, recently updated its Total Eye Lift to make it even more effective in reducing age-related signs around the eyes. Clarins claims to have a “visible eye lift effect in 30 seconds, visibly reduces wrinkles, and visibly reduces puffiness and dark circles” and that it contains a potent blend of plant extracts. Skin was smoothed in three hours in tests, whereas wrinkles were clearly absent in 30 days.

You can buy Clarins Total Eye Lift for a 15ml bottle at Sephora for $58.95, which is more than £10 cheaper than Boots and Sephora, but it typically costs £63 for a 15ml bottle.

Here is what I’ll be buying after taking a first look inside Sephora’s newest UK location.

Recently reformulated(Image: Clarins)

Customers have praised this new formulation and the outcomes of it quickly on a variety of websites:

On the Clarins website, one user wrote, “I’ve been using this product for about six months and I’m amazed by the difference in applying eye make-up.” “Early applying eyeliner was a nightmare due to wrinkles, and I used to have looser skin, but this product has made a huge difference.” I highly suggest it.

A Boots customer called it “Fantastic product.” This eye cream is 100% worth the money I spent on other eye creams. Instantaneously noticed improvements in brightness, under-eye bags, and puffiness. My eye bags are almost gone with regular use, and even the appearance of fine lines appear to have decreased! I’m so impressed with this eye cream that I’ll definitely use it. A small donation is appreciated.

Another review on Clarins’ own site titled ‘Eyes seem tighter and less baggy’ goes on to read: “I received this as a sample and loved it! I’ve gone back and reordered it twice now!”

However, not everyone was completely persuaded, and one user wrote, “Yes, it’s a great product, absolutely love it, but the refill design is terrible.” I’ve been trying to get the bottle back in since I unintentionally managed to get it out of the pump.

Women’s Copa America criticised after Euros success

The women’s Copa America has suffered in stark contrast to the record-setting summer of Euro 2025, which was capped by England’s triumph and record-breaking attendances.

Brazil and Colombia’s matchup against Ecuador has drawn criticism for poor organization, low attendance, and subpar refereeing as they prepare for Sunday’s final.

After experiencing issues similar to those at the Copa Libertadores Femenina in Paraguay, it was anticipated that Conmebol would raise its standards and game for the 2027 World Cup.

Marta, the legendary Brazil player and six-time Fifa Player of the Year, has been vocal about her criticism of organisers for allowing teams to warm up inside rather than on the pitch.

Before her country’s dominant Group B victory over Bolivia, images of players from both teams warming up side by side in a small area of the Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda Stadium were shared on social media.

The 39-year-old Marta, who retired after the Olympics last year, was “saddened by these circumstances” because the decision was taken to prevent damage to the pitch, which hosted two matches in a day during the group stage.

Comparing the success of the Euros to the “Structural issues” at Copa America

There were more lows at the Copa America as the Euros rose.

657 and 291 people attended the women’s European Championship, breaking a new record for the number of games that averaged over 20 000 for the first time.

Numerous players had praised the organization of the tournament both on and off the pitch even before England won the title by defeating world champions Spain in the final.

Ecuador has not experienced that.

Brazilian journalist Julia Belas cited “structural issues” as a reason for the Copa America’s coverage of the event, telling BBC Sport: “The Copa America has been heavily criticized by the players, staff from the teams, and the federations, especially because of the structure and lack of structure they have provided to the participating teams.

For instance, since they only used two stadiums in the group stage, the pitch quality wasn’t great because all of the games were played in just two, for example.

Conmebol needs to pick up the volume, Conmebol says.

After the success of the previous two Euros and the women’s World Cup in 2023, South America will host its first women’s World Cup.

The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations was attended by thousands of people, with 150, 000 people reportedly purchasing tickets as Nigeria won the trophy.

When questioned about whether the Copa America represented a good investment for the continent, Belas replied, “No, not at all.

The bid for the Women’s World Cup was based on the fact that Brazil had two enormous stadiums that were used for the men’s World Cup 11 years ago, and it is the first time the tournament is taking place there.

Because of the incredible World Cup that is taking place in Australia, Conmebol really needs to increase the pace. We’ve seen stadiums with sizable crowds at the Euros in Switzerland and the Africa Cup of Nations in Switzerland.

We don’t even know how many fans are present at each game in the Copa America. It’s currently challenging to compare to other continents. They really need to step up with only two years until the World Cup is over.

Lions winger Freeman ‘touch and go’ for third Test

third Test match between Australia and the British and Irish Lions

Accor Stadium Date: Saturday, August 2nd, 2019 12:00 BST

With wing Tommy Freeman having a back issue, the British and Irish Lions may have to make a late change for Saturday’s third and final Test match against Australia.

The 24-year-old is reportedly “touch and go” for the game in Sydney after missing Friday’s captain’s run at the Accor Stadium.

If the England international is unable, the Lions may have to make a backline change.

On the right wing, Mack Hansen has a like-for-like replacement, but he is not believed to be fully recovered from a foot injury three weeks ago.

James Lowe, who was dropped from the squad for the third Test, could also be a replacement after being trained with Huw Jones on the wing and Owen Farrell in the center.

The Lions are aiming to complete the series and win all of their Test matches on a tour for the first time since 1927 despite wrapping up the series with a stunning victory over the Wallabies in Melbourne, which came in a 29-26 victory over the Lions.

Forwards coach John Dalziel stated on Friday, “The job isn’t done in any way or form.”

Nico’s previous roles as Newt and Newt in Hollyoaks were far, far away.

Former Hollyoaks actor Nico Mirallegro appears to have officially unveiled his new relationship with Game of Thrones star Nell Tiger Free.

Fans of soap know well of Nico’s portrayal of the troubled gothic teenager Barry “Newt” Newton, the subject of a highly praised schizophrenia storyline.

Globally, Nell is recognised for her role as the ill-fated Myrcella Baratheon in the HBO fantasy series, the daughter of arch-villain Cersei Lannister, who tragically succumbed to a revenge attack against her mother during the battle for the iron throne. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen .

Nell is best known for her role in Game of Thrones, an HBO fantasy series, as Myrcella Baratheon.

Now aspiring to establish herself as a musician, Nell seemingly spilled the beans first, sharing several charming clips on her TikTok page.

In a mini-music video set to one of her original songs, she teases her new boyfriend about Mancunian slang, and another video features him as the romantic lead.

The duo were initially seen together when Nico supported Nell at the premiere of her play ‘Thanks For Having Me’ earlier this year.

Since then, they appear to have grown increasingly close, frequently featuring each other on their Instagram stories in recent weeks.

Nell has been busy with Servant, her role in the Apple+ series, in addition to her blossoming romance.

Nico’s portrayal of Newt and his struggle with schizophrenia garnered much acclaim between 2007 and 2010, and his career has continued to flourish since.

He appeared in the Paramount Plus series “Stags” last year and he previously played the lead role in the drama “My Mad Fat Diary.”

Nico, the troubled teenager who lived in Chester Village, has a lot of energy. Nico can now be viewed as a genuine hunk by putting his awkward teenage years behind him. Due to his brooding roles in adult dramas, Nico has since gotten a lot of fans and has since abandoned his bad dye job, heavy eye liner, and lip piercing.

The actor has since become a BAFTA-nominated actor after winning recognition for his role as Joe Middleton in BBC’s The Village, which he has played since the show.

He also starred as Finn Nelson in My Mad Fat Diary, before appearing as as Timothy Evans in BBC series Rillington Place.

The three-part drama is based on the tragic death of Nico’s character Evans and the true story of serial killer John Cristie.

The Manchester-born actor later appeared in the 2017 documentary Murdered For Being Different, which explored Rob Maltby’s true story.

But viewers will best know Nico for his role as the foster child of Frankie and Jack Osborne – who made an impression with his battle with schizophrenia and goth-inspired image.

After bagging his first TV role in 2007 Nico spent three years at the Channel 4 soap.

Nico recalls fond memories of his time in the long-running soap despite leaving at the age of 18. Being in front of a camera six days a week is something you don’t get in drama school, according to the professor.

‘If it’s just to maintain, I’m not the manager for Celtic’

SNS

Brendan Rodgers insists he is “very happy” at Celtic and unconcerned about his contract, before expressing his desire to keep standards high and denounce his “not the type of manager that’s good at maintaining anything.”

The 52-year-old is currently wrapping up the 12-month contract he signed when he returned to the Scottish champions in 2023.

When Rodgers inquired about a potential contract extension, Rodgers replied, “There’s no further update.”

“At first, I said I would go back to work for three years, but by the end of the season, people had me leave.

Rodgers has won two titles, a Scottish Cup, and a League Cup, to add to the seven titles he won between May 2016 and February 2019.

I mentioned in a conversation with [Principal shareholder] Dermot]Desmond], [chief executive] Michael Nicholson], that we are currently at and that he said, “I’m very happy here.

Because I’m not the kind of manager who excels at keeping anything, there are conditions that we want to change. I’m not Celtic’s manager if there is only one thing to keep up.

“But I love being at Celtic, to build, grow, develop, and push,” he continued.

With seven new additions, Kieran Tierney, Benjamin Nygren, and Shin Yamada, Celtic begin their title defense against St. Mirren on Sunday.

Rodgers cited “gaps in the squad that are very clear” in a separate interview with Sky Sports.

Jota is sidelined with a long-term injury, while Nicolas Kuhn and Greg Taylor have been the high-profile departures.

The former Liverpool and Leicester City manager confirmed that a loan deal for Manchester City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is on the verge of signing. “This is one of the biggest clubs in world football, and it’s got a demand and expectation on it,” said the former manager of Liverpool and Leicester.

Everyone here will do their utmost to improve, according to the supporters’ message.

It’s a really exciting season ahead, and adding what we need will make things even better for us.
