The Marks & Spencer cardigan boasts glowing reviews, achieving a stellar rating of 4.4 out of five stars from 582 customers, reports Birmingham Live.
Available in sizes 6 to 24, numerous shoppers have snapped up multiple versions of the same cardigan style in various colours, describing it as a ‘great quality product and looks expensive. ‘.
One delighted customer shared in their review: “I have a few of these in various colours as they are perfect for wearing as an extra layer of sweaters.”
A second shopper commented: “Classic design lifted by the ribbed trim inside the button strip. Bought in two colours, ideal for autumn office days.”
Meanwhile, a third buyer penned: “I have bought several of these cardigans in different colours over the years. They fit and wash very well.”
Lauded for ‘adding an extra layer without being bulky’, the cardigan is perfectly sized to slip into a handbag for unpredictable weather.
It would also appear stunning when styled for a Christmas celebration, paired with an elegant midi skirt such as this M&S chocolate brown Satin Midi A-Line Skirt, £30. Customers who splash out £35 on fashion at Marks and Spencer can secure the 2025 beauty advent calendar worth £330 for £60.
At Roman, this Cable Knit Buttoned Cardigan in burgundy offers a designer aesthetic for £42. Shoppers rave it’s precisely the shade they were seeking and, similar to the M&S cardigan, it effortlessly transitions from professional settings to casual weekend wear with jeans.
Over at White Stuff, the Lulu Long Sleeve Cardi is one of the most sought-after cardigans on the brand’s website. Priced at £45, it caters to a wide range of sizes from 6 to 24 in petite or regular, and has garnered over 1,400 reviews, with the majority being five-star.
However, some Marks & Spencer customers have expressed concerns about the sizing of the Crew Neck Button Front Cardigan, suggesting that it might be best to size down. One shopper advised, “nice colour for autumn but comes up large – go for the next size down to your normal one.”
Another customer gave a mixed review, stating: “Good basic cardigan for the price. I have it in two colours now as I liked it so much. I sized down as I found it large.”
A delighted customer shared: “Bought the purple colour. Very flattering and easy to wear and style. Usual M&S quality.”
Another fan added: “Lovely cardigan, gorgeous rich colour. [People have] asked where I had bought it.”

Princess Andre has shared a huge update on her own ITV series after welcoming fans into her life earlier this year. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre made the bold decision to follow her famous parents into the spotlight.
She launched her ITV2 documentary show, The Princess Diaries, over the summer as she let cameras follow her branching out into the modelling world. Princess, 18, has been keen to launch her own beauty business as well, which was documented on screen.
Her hard work certainly seems to be paying off despite the explosive row between her parents, as she has now revealed her show has been renewed for two more seasons. It means fans will be able to carry on getting a closer look into her life in the limelight.

Sharing her news, Princess said: “I’m so excited to tell you what I’m about to tell you. I want to thank everyone who gave me so much love for season one of The Princess Diaries.
“I’m here to announce that I have not only one, but two more series of The Princess Diaries coming out in 2026. I honestly can’t wait, I’m so excited. Loads of people have been asking me but I’ve not been able to tell you but now you finally know. See you in 2026.”
Despite the success, Princess’ mum Katie recently said she was “very, very upset” that her daughter’s career was being managed by her ex-husband’s team and claimed she is being left out. She also said prior to the show airing that she won’t be watching the reality show as she wasn’t involved.
Katie’s sister Sophie suggested the young star demand her mum appear on the show with her. Sophie told The Katie Price Show podcast: “Ultimately I do think it’s down to Princess to put her foot down a bit.”
“But, she’ll be scared Soph,” Katie answered. Amid rumours of a feud, Princess was asked whether she should simply call her mother to sort things out after Katie’s comments.
She said ‘it’s not worth it’ as she told The Guardian: “Mum can be annoyed about something and then we send each other a message and we’re fine.” In July, Katie claimed in an episode of her podcast that she had been excluded from Princess’s 18th birthday party.
The former glamour model suggested the fact it was being filmed for Princess’ TV show meant she couldn’t go to the party as she was “banned”. Katie fumed: “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother. It’s so sad. Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary, and I’m not in it.”
In the days leading up to the show’s release, Katie lashed out at her ex Peter again – and his management company, The Can Group, over not being involved in Princess’ show. It followed a tearful plea from her to producers as she asked to take part with her daughter.

Princess’ management company told the Mirror: “As a company, our duty of care to our clients is paramount. We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families.”

Jeremy Clarkson and his partner Lisa Hogan’s farm shop Diddly Squat in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, has been the subject of a major complaint from fans of the couple and their farm

Jeremy Clarkson’s farm shop policy sparks bitter backlash as huge star speaks out(Image: Amazon Prime )
Punters at Jeremy Clarkson’s farm shop were left seething after the Cotswolds outlet in Oxfordshire brought in a controversial new policy.
The former Top Gear host has owned Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington since 2008, but the vast countryside estate has only transformed into a tourist hotspot in recent years following its starring role in his Amazon Prime series, Clarkson’s Farm.
Audiences first witnessed Jeremy’s shift to agricultural life in 2021 as they watched his frequently comical efforts to operate a thriving farm.
After the programme’s triumph and several recommissions, the 64-year-old and his partner Lisa Hogan launched the Diddly Squat Farm Shop in 2020, which became an instant sensation as devotees flocked from across the country to taste locally-grown goods.

Their enterprise grew in 2024 when a temporary outlet appeared on the site of the pair’s boozer, The Farmer’s Dog.
The marquee outside the establishment also houses Butcher’s Hops and Chops, a catering truck called The Farmer’s Puppy, and a merchandise stall for Clarkson’s Farm enthusiasts.
However, despite the appeal of the diverse products available to its thousands of patrons, not every shopper was chuffed with one significant regulation.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their grievance directly to Jeremy, one supporter demanded: “Why won’t you accept cash at your shop? Do you support digital currency? Bad move, my son.”
To which the Grand Tour host swiftly replied: “I’m with you. But it’s just completely impractical, I’m afraid.”
Another supporter added: “If you take cash, you have a near impossible task of trying to find a bank on the high street that’s not been closed down, to deposit said cash.
“The amount that Diddly Squat Farm Shop takes would be dangerous to have just lying around. Cash is king, just not practical anymore, unfortunately.”
This emerges just months after Lisa addressed their cashless policy following one visitor’s complaint posted beneath a clip on the farm’s official Instagram account.
The supporter highlighted the privacy concerns of a cashless society – including heightened vulnerability to hackers and fraudsters.
In the extensive message, they wrote: “Visited the farm shop and bar on the weekend. Why card only? Please consider accepting cash, too.”
They also argued that “if cash dies, your location and purchases will be tracked automatically. You won’t be able to opt out or unsubscribe.
“People in abusive situations are often financially reliant on their abuser. If cash is removed, their way out will be that much harder or close to impossible.”
They finished: “Elderly, blind and people with disabilities will struggle. Many people can’t or don’t know how to use technology. They would also be vulnerable to scams and other technological difficulties. #keepcashalive.”
Responding from her personal account, Lisa remarked: “I agree with you on so many levels.” The complainant then responded: “Good to hear, hope you make the change.”

‘I put TikTok’s two viral lip stains to the test to see which one really lasts’ (Image: Meghan Coon)
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Wonderskin Lip Stain, which I’ve reviewed in several shades already, but beauty buffs will have no doubt noticed there’s a new viral lip stain on the block – and it’s backed by several celebrities and beauty influencers, earning a place in many makeup bags. That is, of course, the Sacheu Lip Liner.
Both have gone viral online for their long-lasting pigment and easy application, but which one truly comes out on top? I’ve decided to conduct a wear test of both the Wonderskin Lip Stain and the Sacheu Lip Liner to determine which one delivers better colour and longevity, so you know which is worth your money.
The Wonderstain Lip Stain retails for £18 at Wonderskin’s website or for £17.47 on Amazon. Meanwhile, the Sacheu Lip Liner sells for £13 at Revolve or £14 at Beauty Bay.

The Sacheu long-wear lip stain is said to keep your lips in line all day and night. Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for conditioning benefits, it also nourishes your lips while working its magic.
It’s designed to blend slightly to achieve a full lip tint, or follow A-lister Billie Eilish’s routine of applying the liner ahead of the rest of her makeup, then peeling it off ten minutes or so later, revealing perfectly lined lips that last for most of the day.
Meanwhile, the Wonderskin lip stain is described as easy to use; simply apply the mask and let it sit for 10 to 30 seconds before wiping it off with a damp cloth. The result is a natural-looking lip stain that stays in place all day, even when you’re eating and drinking. It includes a number of ingredients, such as squalane, to keep lips hydrated while they stain, although many shoppers follow it up with lip balm.
In terms of packaging, both lip stains come with a doe-foot applicator, with the Sacheu Liner offering a slightly thinner and more precise doe-foot, ensuring it’s easily used as a lip liner or as an all-over colour.
While the Wonderskin’s first colour may be slightly off-putting to start, as it comes out in a blue/purple metalic shade that won’t resemble the hue you’ve picked out of the 17 shades on offer – until wiped off, that is – the Sacheu lip liner is argueably even more alarming, as it’s formula appears thick, tacky and nearly black once you open the packaging.
It is worth noting that before applying any lip stain, I recommend exfoliating your lips. Use a lip scrub or mask, as this reduces the amount of dry or cracked skin on your lips, allowing the pigment to cling to them more effectively. I’ve found that, when applied to dry or chapped lips, the colour will appear uneven or patchy, regardless of the brand used.
When it comes to application, Wonderskin’s thinner formula allows for a more seamless application, making it easier to spread evenly across the whole lip without excessive bleeding outside the lip line or transferring onto your teeth.
The Sacheu’s almost tarr-like consistency does make for a messy application; it’s not easily spreadable, and due to its tackiness, it can be somewhat difficult to get a precise line without excessive patience and delicacy. Plus, Sacheu may not be the best pick if you’re in a hurry, as the colour can (and definitely will) transfer onto your teeth, tongue and fingers, leaving stains behind. This colour transfer does come off after some time, but it’s not ideal if you’re about to head out of the house.
When it comes to the novelty ‘peel off’ design of these lip masks, Sacheu definitely comes out on top. I’ve never been able to peel off the Wonderskin lip stain and have instead opted to use a makeup wipe. However, the Sacheu Lip Liner tends to peel off nearly perfectly every time, with only the occasional patch left behind. This isn’t a deal breaker for me when it comes to the Wonderskin lip stain, as I don’t mind using a wipe, but what I will say is – despite the satisfaction of the peel off design, the Sacheu is definitely messier as the colour will transfer onto your fingers and nails, unless you use tweezers.

When it comes to colour payoff, the Wonderskin leans towards a higher level of pigment and lasts the longest. I’ve also always noticed a less patchy finish with the Wonderskin lip stain. That said, this time I tried one of the newest shades, Hush, which is described as a more neutral brown colour. However, much like my old favourite shade, Lovely, this lip stain still results in a dark pink colour that’s similar to my natural lip colour but more saturated. This is fine and I like the look, but if you’re actually looking for a more nude/brown colour, Wonderskin isn’t going to do it.
