The Inkey List is known for its affordable and effective skincare products, and they’re now even cheaper thanks to one major sale that’s slashed bundles down to as low as £7

When it comes to skincare, it’s not always true that more expensive equals better products. One brand that’s been making a case for affordable and accessible skincare is The Inkey List, which has become known for its budget-friendly beauty buys that really do work.

However, thanks to the huge beauty sale that Sephora is currently running, you can currently get The Inkey List’s skincare bundles even cheaper as the beauty retailer slashes them by 50%. With prices starting from as low as £7, you can pick up skincare sets to tackle everything from dry skin to breakouts, saving you plenty of money in the process.

The most affordable The Inkey List set available on Sephora right now is the Healthy Skin Heroes Duo, which has been slashed from £14 to £7. Featuring two full sized bottles of the brand’s most iconic products, you’ll get the Oat Cleansing Balm and the Hyaluronic Acid Serum included in the set, giving you everything you need to hydrate and soothe your skin.

Gentle enough to be used in both your morning and evening skincare routines, the oat cleansing balm gently removes dirt and makeup from your skin. Once your skin is clean and makeup free, apply the hyaluronic acid serum directly afterwards to help lock in moisture and plump up your skin.

Other sets that have been slashed in price include the Spot on Duo, which is ideal for those who struggle with breakouts and blemishes. Normally priced at £14.50, you can now snap it up for £7.25, getting your hands on the hyaluronic acid serum and a packet of The Inkey List’s spot stickers for half the usual price.

If you want to top up your makeup bag too, you can also save on the Plump it Up Duo, which is down from £18 to £9. Featuring two tubes of the Tripeptide Lip Balms (which went viral last year for their impressive plumping results), the lip balms come in clear and a limited edition Mulberry Tint shade and promise to increase lip volume, leaving them looking fuller and healthier.

You can also head directly to The Inkey List’s website, where there’s plenty of other offers on bundles and sets, with some sets slashed by almost £20. Sephora also has plenty of other deals on skincare bundles, including brands like Caudalie, Clinique and Mario Badescu which all have discounts applied to them right now.

Over at LookFantastic you can also snag some great savings, with sets from brands like Liz Earle, Murad and Perricone MD slashed by up to 50%.

The Shark LED mask has more than 400 reviews on Boots. Amazon has also price-matched Boots with the same reduction (£265). A Boots shopper credited it for its wrinkle-minimising abilities. They said: “I have been using the mask for two weeks on better ageing and can already see an improvement in my complexion.

“I feel my wrinkles have been plumped out, and my skin has a general glow. It is very easy to use.” They have one gripe, adding: “My only issue is that where the cooling eye pads sit under the eyes, the red light does not reach, and I, like most people, have under-eye lines which would benefit from red light.

“Also, I wish it had an attachment for the neck. Great product.”

Back to Shark’s LED mask another Boots buyer has been using it for two months and says it’s ‘completely changed my skin’, adding: “At first, the most difficult part was remembering to use it, but after that, I realised that the more I used it, the more refreshed my skin looked and felt.

“I also noticed that it helped smooth out wrinkles over time.” An additional customer concluded: “I have had this for eight weeks now and I am so pleased with the results.

EastEnders’ Davood Ghadami, who played Kush Kazemi in the BBC soap, has shared a slew of loved-up snaps with girlfriend Melanie Barker, who he reportedly met while performing in panto

EastEnders star, Davood Ghadami, has hit back at a fan who accused him of cheating on his wife in a fiery exchange on Instagram. Davood, 43, who played Kush Kazemi in the BBC soap, has shared a slew of loved-up snaps on social media with his girlfriend, Melanie Barker, 32, who he reportedly met while performing in panto three years ago.

Many of the actor’s fans adored the happy snaps in which the couple pose up a storm in Greece. However one of Davood’s followers had seen quite enough after accusing the actor of infidelity. They responded: “Unfollowed. Don’t like people who cheat on their spouses and break up families.” Hitting back, Davood retorted: “Bye then! I don’t want people following me who know nothing.”

The actor married his long-term girlfriend Isobel in 2010 and they have two daughters together. Back in 2018, Davood told Woman magazine: “My wife and I know each other inside out and have a genuine understanding about how the other ticks. We met 17 years ago at university so we’ve got a lot of shared history.

“I’m an incredibly lucky man. My life couldn’t be the way it is without her support. She was amazing when I was in Strictly and kept everything going.”

However, in 2022, the Strictly Come Dancing star met Melanie when they were both performing in Aladdin.

A source told The Sun at the time: “They are two very attractive people and it was clear they had sizzling onstage chemistry together.

“There was a lot of flirting backstage and I’m sure Aladdin wouldn’t have been happy that Princess Jasmine was giggling with Abanazar behind his back.

“But the genie is now well and truly out of the bottle and they are a proper couple — living together, training together and posting photos on Instagram together.

“It’s almost like a perfect fairytale ending — but for the previous partners they have left in their wake.”

Davood and Melanie, who was married to Daniel Haslam, reportedly stayed in touch when the pantomime ended. At some point, love grew between them and they moved in together.

They went Instagram official with their relationship earlier this year and have now shared their romantic sun-soaked holiday.

However, Davood was also hit with cheating rumours when he appeared on Strictly. When he took part in the BBC show in 2017, he was partnered up with professional dancer, Nadiya Bychkova.

The duo was plagued by rumours of the infamous Strictly ‘curse’ – with judge Bruno Tonioli even claiming their samba looked like a “race to the bedroom”.

However, Davood hit back at any suggestions of infidelity, saying that he and then wife, Isobel, knew the truth behind the dances on screen.

“People will say things,” he insisted, adding: “As long as you know the truth and the people you love know the truth – it shouldn’t matter.”

The Mirror has contacted Davood’s reps for comment on this story.

Romeo Beckham’s ex girlfriend Kim Turnbull has sensationally broken her silence on her “relationship” with Brooklyn after being dragged into the bitter family feud.

Kim, 26, is said to be at the heart of the Beckham fallout in which eldest child Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have become estranged. The DJ is said to have dated Brooklyn before he met billionaire heiress Nicola.

Following weeks of headlines about her and Brooklyn, Kim fumed that she was ’embarrassed by the lies.’ The star had been part of the Beckhams inner circle – attending numerous family gatherings, and even David’s 50th birthday celebrations that Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed.

Today she spoke out for the first time on the drama, that threatened to overshadow David’s knighthood announcement this weekend as his eldest son continued to ignore him.

Taking to Instagram, newly-single Kim fired: “I’ve avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.”

She continued: “I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.”

Kim then clarified: “I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question.

“Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.

“I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved.”

Kim found herself at the centre of the Beckham feud after it had been reported that Brooklyn was ‘unsure about her motives’ for dating his younger brother, Romeo.

There were whispers that Brooklyn dated Kim when they teenagers, but his younger brother Cruz denied this in an Instagram post and now Kim has done the same.

However, after Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, swerved David’s 50th birthday last month after it was reported that the hot sauce enthusiast felt that his parents were ‘prioritising’ Romeo, Kim found herself in the firing line.

The DJ and model split from Romeo earlier this month after the couple’s relationship was previously blamed for the alleged rift within the Beckham family in recent months.

After seven months together, it was said that their relationship “fizzled out” three weeks after David’s milestone birthday.

Kim’s defiant post today comes after Brooklyn brutally snubbed his dad on Father’s Day. The newly appointed Sir paid a heartfelt tribute to his firstborn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, sharing a snap of them all together and appearing to hint at his feud with Brooklyn.

Captioning the photo, he said: “My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

He also shared a snap of him and Brooklyn, quaffing red wine, with the caption: “I love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham.”

However, Brooklyn remained silent on his dad’s special day, again. His wife, Nicola, also failed to mention her father-in-law, but did pay tribute to her own dad.

Taking to Instagram, sharing a snap of the pair, she wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad in the world. I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support. I love you beyond words. Happy Father’s Day dad.”

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island power couple Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey, who won the 2016 series, have opened up about their time in the villa and revealed how things have changed

Love Island icons Cara De La Hoyde, 34, and Nathan Massey, 33, are lifting the lid on what really went down during their time in the villa – and it’s safe to say, things have changed a lot since they won the show in 2016.

Straight in with the juicy stuff – Cara revealed she was actually told off for not wearing makeup. “Yeah! I got told off for not wearing makeup. These girls now are so glam – dressed to the nines!” she told us. As for villa fashion, the girls were in such a rush and had little to “no budget” they ended up sharing clothes, including their bikinis.

“We didn’t realise how long we’d be there, I spent a few quid on £10 dresses but we ended up sharing bikinis” she adds. Nathan confessed, “I borrowed money off my dad and went crackers buying stuff in Zara.”

It’s no surprise they think the show’s tougher now. “It’s changed so much. I don’t think I could handle it today – it’s more ruthless and scary now,” Cara admits. “I don’t take myself seriously enough… people would be like, ‘Is she okay?’” Nathan reckons he’d still be fine: “I talk to everyone all the time.”

One of the biggest changes? Contestants are way more clued up now. “100%. We were 10 seasons ago, and the pressure now is mad. We didn’t even have TikTok!” Cara says. “We just thought we might get a few PAs and then go back to work.”

While the show’s big boss Mike Spencer confirmed that meal times will be shown, a stark contrast to previous years, Cara revealed what meal times were like for them. “Meal times were strict – they’d change your mic battery so you couldn’t talk,” Cara reveals. “Back then, we had time off-camera. But now the show is so big and public, it’s different.”

Now married since 2019 with two kids – Freddie, 6, and Delilah, 3 – they’re still going strong. “Laughter,” Nathan says, when asked what keeps them together. “We take the mick out of each other and remember we’re a team.” More kids? “Nope, two and done! We’ve got one of each, and that’s enough.”

As for reality TV? “My ultimate goal is SAS,” Nathan says. Cara’s got her eye on Strictly: “I did dance school when I was younger.” And if Real Housewives of Essex ever came calling? “I don’t dress up enough! But a school-run version in Kent? There’s loads of Love Island mums down here. I’m in!”

When it comes to this year’s Love Island, Cara’s already got her favourites. “Megan and Tommy – they’ve got that spark like past great couples like Amber and Kem, Cara and Nathan, Jack and Dani, Jon and Hannah. They will go all the way.” Let’s wait and see!

Love Island series 12 has already surprised islanders and viewers with twists and turns, including already dumping two islanders, but the villa is about to explode in a new teaser for the upcoming episode. After seeing three new bombshells enter the ‘boys night out’, the girls are fuming and it could be the last bump in the road for some couples.

The boys left the villa earlier in the day for drinks, but what they didn’t know was that the girls would be watching their every move on a giant TV back in the main villa. Shortly after they all established where they stood in their relationship, three new bombshells entered and caused a stir for the girls watching.

The three bombshells include 24-year-old teaching assistant Malisha from Broxbourne, Commercial Banking Executive Yasmin, 24, and Insurance Development Executive Emily, 24, from Aberdeen.

After the girls watched the other half of their couple flirt with the new bombshells, Helena was not best pleased and said: “My man basically saying I’m a massive red flag because of something I’ve done in the past and I’m a big party girl…?” Alima responds: “Double standards”. Helena continues and says, “I’m raging about the disrespect.”

But they don’t have long to debrief about the boys as suddenly their one-on-one dates start playing on the big screen and they rush back to secretly listen in to more chats.

Later, the boys and bombshells return to the Villa and spot the huge screen and quickly realise what’s been happening. The boys aren’t happy, to say the least, about the girls being a fly on the wall during their chats, as Dejon says, “boys chat stays in the boys chat!” Not on Love Island, Dejon!

* Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island alumni Malin Andersson is not a fan of the current series and has shared a few behind-the-scenes secrets from her time on the ITV2 dating show

Love Island alum Malin Andersson, who appeared on the show back in 2016 for their second series, is not holding back when it comes to her thoughts on the current series. Now 32, the body positivity campaigner and mental health advocate says she watches the new Islanders with a very different lens.

“I’m 32 so I’m a similar age to them on there,” she says, “but I can see through it all completely now.”

Malin, who famously left the villa after being dumped on day 25 has since distanced herself from the Love Island world. “I don’t talk to any Islanders at all,” she admits.

“The girls lower their bar because of the show and that’s what makes it toxic. They’re not understanding their worth.”

She’s also not afraid to share some unfiltered behind-the-scenes secrets. “I was constipated at one point in the villa because I held it in for ages,” she laughs.

“Olivia Buckland [now Bowen] did the same. We used to go on poo watch and made sure no guys were near the toilet. One of us would guard, and Cara De La Hoyde [now Massey] helped.”

Though she doesn’t stay in touch with former castmates, Malin clearly remembers the realities behind the glam – and wants this year’s Islanders to remember their value. “It’s easy to get lost in the show,” she says. “But you’ve got to know your worth.”

Last week, Malin spoke out about hitting “rock bottom” after her time on the ITV2 dating show and called for it to be axed. “Love Island. It starts tonight…I’m quite shocked this show is still on air to be honest,” she said in an emotional statement on her Instagram Stories.

“I was on it 8 years ago, and in that 8 years I’ve turned pain into purpose and used my platform for good. Within the 8 years that have passed I’ve had to hit rockbottom to find a strength I never knew I had – and awaken to the truth of who we are.

“However what young Malin didn’t know was, how dangerous a show like this is – portraying toxicity as love, unrealistic body standards and women who maybe broken inside but wanting love for the wrong reasons – and thinking fame will save them.. and as for the men – similar things.”

Malin added that she wants a show that helps contestants “find love for ourselves first” before finding it in someone else. She added: “We don’t need a show making women especially feel bad about themselves – or fuelling eating disorders. That’s outdated now. It’s not it.”

ITV has introduced extensive duty of care procedures during the show’s run, with contestants being offered comprehensive psychological support before, during and after filming on the show.

They are also asked to pause any posting to their social media accounts while they’re on the show and to complete video training and guidance on language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, microaggressions, mutually respectful behaviour in relationships and behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercing behaviour.

The new series of Love Island began last week with a new line-up of singles stepping into the ITV2 villa and there has already been two shock dumpings and six bombshells.
