Currently available at Boots is the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Multitasking Masters 4 Piece Gift Set, which normally retails for £75.80, but is now reduced to a more budget-friendly £27. This price is already lower than the Eight Hour Cream on its own, but when you divide the new £27 price tag by the four full-sized items included, each piece works out at £6.75.

Included in the set are a full-sized Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant Multitasking Cream, a full-sized Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15, a full-sized All-Over Miracle Oil for Face, Body, and Hair, and a 30ml Eight Hour Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment.

The Multitasking Masters gift set, which features the four iconic choices from the Eight Hour Cream collection, promises to deliver head-to-toe healing. The Skin Protectant calms, hydrates, and polishes the skin with its award-winning balm-like formula, while the all-weather Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 soothes, softens, and protects lips from UV rays, preventing chapping.

The set also includes the fast-absorbing Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment, which reverses dryness, roughness and cracking, treating weather-exposed skin with a non-greasy feel, which is a must-have this time of year when skin is feeling the change in temperature; and the ultra-lightweight All-Over Miracle Oil For Face, Body, and Hair is set to work all day long to deliver intensive moisture and radiance complemented by an uplifting fragrance.

Though this gift set doesn’t have any reviews of its own, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is a firm favourite among royals and skincare shoppers alike. Currently boasting over 3000 5-star reviews at Boots, where it’s discounted to £24.80, this skin has received plenty of praise.

One buyer beams: “Soft and silky feeling left on skin after using this moisturiser at night. It works not just on the skin, but also on the lips, and can be used as an eyebrow gel. Super easy to use, the packaging is great.”

Another shopper gushes: “This product has saved my extremely dry skin and lips. I love it.”

And a third chimes in: “My skin gets so dry, particularly in the winter. I love the versatility of this product. It makes skin glow and hydrates immediately. I use it on my face, hands, chest, and elbows.”

Though it’s worth noting a couple of buyers have commented on the cream’s fragrance, with one writing: “I was really impressed with the effectiveness of the Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, especially during harsh cold weather. My lips were extremely chapped, and after applying it before bed, I noticed a significant improvement overnight—they felt soothed and much more hydrated by morning. The texture is smooth and comforting, providing an immediate sense of relief. While the scent wasn’t my favourite, it’s a minor drawback compared to how well it works. The packaging is also a plus—sleek, practical, and easy to carry around. Definitely a must-have for winter skincare!”

Beauty queen Victoria Beckham has garnered heaps of praise for her best-selling eyeliner range at Victoria Beckham Beauty, with makeup enthusiasts and celebs alike raving about its pigment, blendability and staying power.

This eye makeup staple has been receiving rave reviews from shoppers and remains a bestseller. However, it’s not just the public who are fans, as numerous celebrities have also expressed their affection for this eyeliner.

Claudia Winkleman is one known fan of the Satin Kajal Liner, swearing by Victoria Beckham’s eyeliner to create her signature eye look. Courtney Cox is the latest star to join the list of those singing the praises of this liner. But Victoria herself is arguably the biggest fan of her hit eyeliner, wearing it on a regular basis to create her signature smoky eye look.

Victoria Beckham herself comments on the liner, writing: “I love to experiment with colour. You see it in my fashion line, where I play with colour-blocking and balance modern brights with nuanced neutrals. I look at Satin Kajal Liner through the same lens. And there are endless ways to use these—along your lashline, in your waterline, create a wing or smudge it out. They’re highly pigmented and so soft and creamy.”

The Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner is available in a total of 21 other shades, including navy, bronze, burgundy, and more unusual hues like mint green. Shoppers can choose from matte, shimmer, and jewel finishes, and each liner costs £32, either directly from her website or at Selfridges.

The VB eyeliner is ideal for achieving Posh Spice’s signature smudged effect, which channels the 90s smoky eye Victoria has sported since her girl band days. It features a silky texture that glides on effortlessly without any tugging or dragging. You can use it to craft a precise, defined line or blend and blur it out to achieve a more effortless appearance.

According to Victoria Beckham Beauty’s website, you can create a sensual eye by: “Gliding the Satin Kajal Liner along the lash line and waterline. Use the smudger for a lived-in effect on both the top and bottom lids. Don’t be afraid to go for bold and experiment with unexpected colours”. To create a sharper, more defined look, “Maintain a fine point for precise application. We recommend the Victoria Beckham Beauty luxury sharpener, which you can add complimentary to your order. Gently press the pencil tip up against the blade as you twist the pencil to sharpen.”

It’s also infused with nourishing ingredients which suit all skin types, and the liner is entirely smudge-resistant and waterproof, so once you’ve perfected your look, it’ll remain flawless all day. The eyeliner has also been formulated to be vegan and completely cruelty-free.

The premium eyeliner guarantees “low maintenance glamour” with just one sweep across the eyelid, whilst also providing versatility and adaptability that means your new eyeliner can effortlessly complement any eye look you desire. And with grunge makeup staging a comeback, these gems are ideal for that dishevelled, blurred style that won’t shift for the remainder of the day.

And it’s not just celebrities who adore this award-winning eyeliner from Posh Spice’s brand, as the 5-star reviews keep rolling in. One thrilled customer gushes: “Absolutely in love with the Kajal liner. Glides on like velvet.”

Another chimes in: “This eyeliner goes on smooth and smudges great. Once it sets, it stays in place all day. The colour is really pretty also.”

A third satisfied shopper beams: “This is the best eyeliner I have ever used. It’s easy to put on and lasts all day. The sharpener is a great tool too.”

A fourth beauty enthusiast writes: “Beautiful colour and probably the best liner I have ever bought. Stays without smudge all day.”

Yet another reviewer added: “I’ve been using this soft, long-lasting eyeliner for a while now, and I’m absolutely hooked! The formula is smooth and glides on effortlessly, making it super easy to create a variety of looks. It stays put all day without smudging or fading, even during those long days. The colour payoff is fantastic, and it’s really easy to build up the intensity. And let’s not forget about the packaging! It’s sleek and stylish, making it a pleasure to use.”

However, one gave a three-star rating, commenting: “The eyeliner goes on like a dream but you have to be careful not to get it into your waterline otherwise it transfers under the eyes. I end up with blue/purple looking panda eyes after a few hours. To prevent this I have to apply very carefully and it blunts the pencil quickly. I never got this with my No7 kohl liner.”

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t think she’s ever been loved as she looks back on her failed marriage to Ben Affleck. The four-times married actress and singer mused over her relationship history in a candid interview.

Shifting the blame on to the men she has fallen in and out of love with, she said they had their own issues they were battling. It comes after her surprise divorce earlier this year. US chat show host Howard Stern asked “Have you ever been loved?’ “No,” Jennifer, 56, admitted.

She continued: “What I learned is that I’m not unloveable, it’s that they’re not capable. They don’t have it in them. They need to appreciate the little person inside of them. They gave me what they had. They gave me all of it all the time. They tried to give me the houses, the rings, all of it. But… ” “They didn’t love you?” prompted Stern. “They didn’t,” Jen answered. “And I didn’t love myself.”

J.Lo finalised her divorce with Affleck, 53, in January after just two and half years of marriage. The Hollywood power couple surprised the world when they announced they were marrying almost twenty years after first falling in love. They reunited in 2021, married at a Las Vegas chapel in July 2022, followed by a second ceremony in Georgia the following month. But it wasn’t to be, with the Jenny From The Block singer filing for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.

Their marriage was unravelling as the pair worked on a musical remake of the 1976 novel Kiss of the Spider Woman together but the pair but their differences to one side for the premiere this month, proving they were the friendliest of exes, and even sparkling speculation there could be a reconciliation on the cards.

If there was, J-Lo says she’ll be keeping her cards close to her chest this time and vowed not play out her love life in public. “I feel that I live my life very out loud even though I was in the public eye,” she told Stern on his Sirius XM show. “And I wanted to share my life with someone. I want someone to be there when I’m having my big important moments on my red carpet. Or if we’re going to the store. I didn’t hide from it, I spoke about it. What’s happened over the past few years to me and my children I feel like I want to keep that part so much more quiet in my life.”

A self-confessed romantic, Jennifer has been married and divorced four times and engaged twice more. She married to Cuban actor Ojani Noa in 1997 but it was short-lived, with the pair divorcing the following year. Then she was married to dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003. Good Will Hunting star Ben met singer Jen in 2002 on the set of their movie, Gigli. Married to Judd at the time, Jennifer said she felt sparks immediately with Ben. They soon got engaged but postponed their wedding in 2003 and split the following year.

Both moved on, with Ben marrying another Jen, 13 Going On 30 actress Jennifer Garner. They have children Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Sam, 13. In the meantime, J-Lo walked down the aisle with singer Marc Anthony. They had twins Max and Emma, now 17. They divorced in 2014 three years after departing. J-Lo was engaged to baseball player Alex Rodriguez in 2019 before they called it quits in 2021. Ben and Jen married a year later.

Accepting some responsibility for the breakdown in her relationships. Jen says she’s learnt how to love herself through it all. “There’s a trade off,” she explained. “You have to learn how to navigate your personal life and my personal life has suffered because of that. And it took time for me to learn this. I kept thinking, I can do this and that. And now I realise you have to change your behaviour to have a successful relationship in your life.

“I think the work of my life is about self love. It’s about knowing I’m worthy of love and people. Paying attention to me and not leaving. That’s the work of my love, to know I’m whole on my own.”

Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague is gearing up for the release of her second Amazon Prime docuseries and has teased that there could be some drama in store between her and her sister Zoe

Molly-Mae Hague has teased some tension with her older sister Zoe ahead of the launch of her Amazon Prime series titled Molly-Mae: Behind It All.

The former Love Island star, 26, is returning to screens this weekend with three new episodes of Behind It All, after the first series won an NTA award earlier this year. At a launch event today at London’s Selfridges, Molly-Mae teased that there could be some drama in store for viewers when it comes to her and her sister Zoe, 28.

The sisters famously clashed in the last series of the Amazon Prime show over Molly-Mae’s relationship with professional boxer Tommy Fury. During the filming for the first series, mum-of-one Molly-Mae found herself heartbroken and longing for better days following her split with Tommy, also 26.

The couple split for a number of months due to Tommy’s alcohol issues, but they have since rekindled their romance and seem happier than ever as they co-parent their two-year-old daughter, Bambi.

However, during their break-up, Zoe was the one to give Molly-Mae some reality checks amid her concern for her younger sister and her emotional wellbeing after the sudden split. Viewers watched at the time as the sisters bickered with one another, with Molly-Mae claiming Zoe was being too harsh and too protective, while Zoe told her younger sister that she would be silly to get back with Tommy.

Fast-forward a year and Molly-Mae and Tommy are very much in love again following Tommy’s dedication to sorting his alcohol issues out. But according to Molly, there will still be some drama between herself and Zoe in the new series – despite herself and Tommy being back on track.

Speaking at the screening of the first episode today, Molly-Mae said: “I think Zoe is, like, one of the closest people to me, and it’s actually been really nice, kind of, especially in the last series, they’re showing the highs and lows of also a sister relationship.

“Because I think if anyone has a sister, you know, like, it can be savage at times, and then my sister is literally, like, the most honest person of me ever,” Molly-Mae added.

“Like, I’ve said this before, but I still send her all my Instagram photos before I post them, being like, honestly. Like, what do you think. my sister’s my rock, and also with family. Like she’s literally got me through motherhood. She’s incredible, and I wouldn’t want to do this without her, like she’s a massive part of my life,” she shared.

Molly-Mae also teased that she’s set to open up about struggles she has never publicly spoken about before. Of the new series, she said: “I was able to kind of trust the crew a little bit more and just to sort of let go a little bit, which I definitely have done in this season.

“I think you’ll see there’s bits that maybe I would have held back or wanted to sort of shy away from sharing, or topics that I feel like I didn’t maybe put the trust in the crew to talk about last time, because there’s just new territory for me.

“But this time around, I’m like, You know what? This isn’t our first rodeo. Now, we’ve done this before. I can really put my trust in them and just know that they’ve got my best interest and just more of a leap of faith with this one.

“I do feel really nervous about them, because we do talk about things in there that I haven’t spoken about before, but yeah, kind of just trusting the crew,” Molly-Mae admitted.

The social media superstar went on to admit that fans will see a whole new side to her in the new series, and they will be in for a shock.

Mum-of-one Molly-Mae revealed: “It’s definitely a new way to share my story. I feel like maybe Instagram is like that polished highlight reel where we keep it kind of like just in one lane, and YouTube is also where I can share a bit more, but never as much as I felt like I’ve shared in the doc, especially this time around.

“I’ve really spoken about things that I especially in two and three, that I just haven’t really delved into before. And just it’s been really nice to actually just speak a bit more. I feel like, over the few past few years, I kind of don’t speak as much, but having this show has been has enabled me to kind of just, yeah, be a bit more like ‘this is me’.”

While the whole second series shows a different side to Molly-Mae, she revealed that there’s one episode in particular that she’s incredibly anxious about.

“Episode three, I’m probably most nervous for. I mean, honestly, I’m definitely more nervous for this season than I was the first because I think it just delves into me more,” she admitted.

“And I think because obviously, last time, there was a lot going on and there was a lot of different storylines, and I felt like it was, it was about me and it was about other things at the same time, yeah. But with episode three, we definitely share things that in a dream world, maybe I’ve been like ‘CUT’. yeah.

“But I think also that’s just me at the start, because I was like, we’re gonna do it. Let’s just do it. Go for it. Like, show the good, bad, the ugly. Like, not every day goes smooth. But yeah, episode three is the drama.”

Kate Cassidy, the girlfriend of Liam Payne, has shared an emotional tribute to the late One Direction star on the first anniversary of his death. Liam tragically died aged 31, after falling from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires.

Sharing a black and white picture of the two of them to Instagram, she captioned it: “Today marks a full year without you here. I will forever hate goodbyes. I miss you Liam.”

In the photograph, Kate is smiling with her eyes closed and lies on top of Liam, who has his arm around her and is kissing her cheek. She also posted a picture to her Stories. That one was also black and white and had Liam beaming at the camera while Kate, wrapped up in a coat, hat and scarf, hugs him from the side.

The comments of the first post were flooded with people sharing in her grief. One wrote: “We miss him too. Thinking of you today.” Another wrote: “Sending so much love today, he’s always looking down on you.”

Kate has been very open about her grief since Liam’s death, and felt the need to speak out after some fans criticised her for finding comfort in AI-generated photos of her and the singer.

Created using generative AI, Kate shared some realistic photos fans had posted of her and Liam smiling together. Some fans pointed out the dangers of using AI in this way, and one of Liam’s former colleagues even described her decision to share them as ‘distasteful’.

But Kate hopped on TikTok to tell her followers to “stop judging people for how they grieve”. She said: “Over the last few days, I’ve seen so many posts and so many news articles kind of bashing me for finding comfort and peace in seeing pictures of me and Liam created with AI.

“None of you have ever been in my position and hopefully you never will be, so please, please please, kindly stop telling me how to grieve and how I should be finding comfort and what I shouldn’t be finding comfort in.”

Earlier this week, Kate also shared her plans for the anniversary of Liam’s death. She said she was spending the lead-up on a brand trip to “keep her mind positive”.

She said: “I am getting ready to go on a trip. I’m obviously transparent and open about my life on social media. I have been for a while now. This week hasn’t been the easiest week and it’s not going to be the easiest week.

“I have so many mixed emotions and my grief comes in so many waves. No matter what I do, I get commentary so if I make this video, people are going to be like, ‘Of course she had to make this video’, but if I didn’t make this video and just went on a trip, people would be like ‘What is she doing? How is she not in bed crying?’

“For those who might now know, October 16th, which is in two days, is the date my late partner passed away I have said this so many times in the past, I like to stay busy. It keeps my mind positive and keeps my mind active.”

Liam died on 16 October 2024 after falling from the balcony of a hotel in Argentina. The singer had been on holiday with Kate, as they were seeing his former bandmate, Niall Horan, perform. However, while she returned home, he chose to stay on a few days and she was not with him when he died.

Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders has lent her voice to one of Amazon’s best-selling books in an effort to work towards her goal ‘of doing more for the planet’.

Comedy icon Jennifer Saunders has lent her voice to a new audiobook aimed at encouraging youngsters to reduce their plastic usage. During a recent episode of her popular ‘Titting About’ podcast with Dawn French, Saunders revealed her goal for the year was to make a positive impact on the environment.

First-time author Bertie Stephens was inspired by her comments and reached out to ask if she’d be interested in narrating the audiobook version of his debut book, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter . The book, which targets readers aged 9-14, has already become a bestseller on Amazon since its release in June, with the audiobook released earlier this week.

The tale blends science and fantasy, earning praise for its ability to spark kids’ interest in STEM subjects and environmental issues. Saunders, who accepted Bertie’s offer to narrate the audiobook, said: “I loved Ellie from page one.”

She added: “It’s funny and a bit mischievous, but it sneaks big ideas in too – how science works, what we owe the planet, and why asking questions matters.

“If a good yarn can make kids curious enough to try an experiment or think twice about their plastic usage, that’s a win.”

On her podcast, Saunders had said: “[This year] I’m going to do more for the planet – that’s my plan.”

She’s already made changes at home, stating: “I don’t have toothpaste anymore, I have little toothpaste pills. I just use soap. I don’t use any big shower gel plasticky things, and I don’t use plastic in my washing up liquids. I don’t use it in anything.”

The audiobook was launched with a video trailer featuring The Clean Planet Orchestra, who provided a bespoke soundtrack for the book composed by musician Joe Hogan.

Since its release over the summer, Ellie Ment and the Material Matter has been embraced by clubs and schools in both the UK and USA, even becoming the inaugural reading material for over 1,000 students across seven states in America.

The book has soared to the top spot on Amazon’s charts in both the UK and the US, boasting a 4.7-star rating on Goodreads and earning a coveted “Get It” recommendation from Kirkus Reviews.

It also bagged the highest accolade at the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, considered the most prestigious and longest-running national awards scheme in America dedicated solely to children’s literature.

Much of the book’s success can be attributed to social media, where snippets and recommendations have been shared on accounts with millions of combined followers.

Popular school influencer Holly Hos (@thehos), who boasts a whopping 1.5 million followers on TikTok, gave the book a shout-out, racking up over 10,000 likes and comments across her social media platforms.

A representative from the Clean Planet Foundation, the publisher of the book, explained that the non-profit organisation uses storytelling as a tool to spark children’s interest in environmental issues and science

They said: “This STEM book gives more young people the chance to see that science can be every bit as magical as fantasy, and important for helping the environment around them.

“Adding Jennifer’s incredible voice to the audiobook will help thousands more children discover Ellie’s story and the magic that already exists in the world around them.”
