Beauty buffs are singing the praises of a ‘superb value’ set from Boots, and one product inside has been hailed as ‘the best ever’. The must-have No7 Lift and Luminate Collection 5 Piece Gift Set, valued at an impressive £137.75, is now discounted to £62.96 on the retailer’s website.

This sought-after collection is brimming with everything one needs for a complete skincare routine: day cream, night cream, eye cream, facial oil, and triple-action serum – all in full sizes that promise to deliver value for money. No7 says the range is “clinically proven to even-out skin tone, visibly reducing wrinkles and creating a firmer-looking complexion”.

For instance, the Lift and Luminate Day Cream, with its vitamin C and hyaluronic acid formula, helps firm skin and even out skin tone. The Night Cream, with a blend of shea butter and hyaluronic acid, works overnight to support skin renewal.

Meanwhile, the Triple Action Eye Cream uses ginseng extract to assist with puffiness. Earning high praise, the gift set boasts an impressive 4.6 out of five star-rating based on 67 independent reviews on Boots’ platform. Delighted customers have been raving about it, with one satisfied shopper saying: “Love all these products, No7 is the best on the market. Best product ever.”

Meanwhile, another customer enthused: “Great products and excellent value for money. I’m a convert, having just switched from L’Occitane, which is much more expensive.”

But some shoppers have been left underwhelmed, with one noting the facial oil “reacted to my skin and wasn’t a welcome addition” and another expressing confusion over its place in their skincare routine, saying they “don’t understand what the oil is for and how it fits into the serum and moisturiser routine.”

However, others are raving about the set, with one review highlighting: “Luxurious beauty products that deliver their promise.”

Another satisfied customer shared: “I love No7 and particularly like the lift and luminate range which matches the age of my skin. This set is great value for money, too, and contains full-size products; it’s a no-brainer.”

The coveted No7 Lift and Luminate Collection 5-Piece Gift Set is now available for £74.80 less, but shoppers need to act swiftly as it’s unclear when this deal will expire.

In the realm of beauty bargains, LookFantastic is offering The Dermatological Edit for £50, boosting a value of over £170 and packed with 11 science-backed skincare heroes, formulated to target skin concerns including a full-size Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 to fight against wrinkles and boost collagen.

Roman’s summer collection is full of feminine prints and lightweight fabrics, and shoppers are loving it. Among the pieces, this Navy Floral Print Frill Detail Midi Dress has earned a stellar 4.8 out of five star-rating from online reviews.

The navy and white ensemble is crafted from 100% viscose with an all-over floral print, perfect for the warmer months. It retails at £38 but with code SHINE, shoppers can get it at £34.20 for a limited time.

The midi dress also features delicate short frill sleeves for a bit of arm coverage, and a V-neckline trimmed with frill details. The shirred waist and tiered hem deliver a flattering silhouette and add movement.

Coast sells a similar Printed Tie Waist Midi Wrap Dress from Izabel London, £40, and the tie-waist detail offers flexibility, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit.

Roman shoppers have left positive feedback for the Navy Floral Print Frill Detail Midi Dress, one bought the piece for a holiday and said: “True to the picture, comfortable style.”

A second loved having the option to dress it up or down, sharing: “Perfect for my son’s graduation and so comfortable to wear all day. Worn with jacket and heels for the ceremony and with trainers for a more casual look later in the day.”

Despite the flattering fit and flare style, some customers said the dress is ‘too long’ as one detailed: “Pretty dress with nice cool material, unfortunately it is far too long for me at 5ft 2ins. Advertised as midi length but was more floor length maxi.”

Another also mentioned the dress length, penning: “Great dress. Too long for me but had it shortened. Lovely style and otherwise fitted very well.”

Others poured in top reviews about the dress and one said she “loves the length of the dress it is”, adding: “This dress is so easy to wear. Fits like a dream. And folds up to take a tiny space in a suitcase. It feels very elegant and suitable for daywear, or smart , evening wear. One point, it’s maxi, not midi.”

For a casual summer dress that is as versatile as Roman’s dress, shoppers can also consider the Next Navy Blue Floral Pleated Mesh Print V-Neck Occasion Midi Dress, £69, for fancy dinners or holidays. The Roman Navy Floral Print Dress is available to purchase for £34.20 with code SHINE.

As a beauty editor, I’ve tried hundreds of perfumes in the search for my perfect scent, but there is one I always reach for when the sun comes out. The Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent smells like summer in a bottle – one sniff and you’ll be whisked away somewhere beachy and warm. It currently has 25% off at Lookfantastic.com, meaning you can buy a 50ml bottle for just £43.50 (a lot cheaper than an actual holiday!)

Whenever I wear it, which is most days for six months of the year, my son says that I “smell like sun cream”. Nothing has the force to make me viscerally reminisce about balmy days at the beach like the Bronze Goddess scent. Mentally, I’m in Ibiza enjoying an Aperol spritz on the balcony; physically, however, I am about to hit the school run. But a girl can dream!

Although it was launched years ago, this iconic scent still holds a place of pride in my fragrance wardrobe. With notes of amber, coconut milk, and sandalwood, a vanilla base, and a hint of citrus, it’s a concoction that I never tire of, and it always guarantees compliments.  

Usually lighter, summery perfumes don’t go the distance, but the Bronze Goddess Skinscent lingers surprisingly well. It settles nicely on the skin, and I catch little whiffs of it throughout the day, which I love. You don’t need much at all, but I always top it up before an evening out, just to keep it feeling fresh.

I recently discovered the nighttime version called Bronze Goddess Nuit. It has a slightly stronger and sexier smell, with bergamot, ylang ylang, and pepper alongside classic notes of coconut and jasmine found in the original. It’s perfect for layering over the Skinscent that is still hovering on my skin from applying it in the morning. 

For some, perfume is just the frill at the end of their beauty routine, but for me, Bronze Goddess is a time machine transporting me back to the beach. Want to come, too?
