8 things our fashion and beauty experts are buying this weekend

Costing £38, the skirt is currently in stock in sizes 6-18, and even comes in white, if you’d prefer. It’s concealed fastening gives it a more elevated feel, while the split hem adds a bit of sass. It even has belt loops so you can add your own accessories, too.

Sol de Janeiro Discovery Set

Sol de Janeiro’s fragrance sprays have been a viral success ever since the launch of the OG Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist in 2020, with some of the newer scents proving to be equally as popular. Usually £16 for a 30ml bottle, now, fragrance fans can get their hands on five bottles of perfume mist from the beloved viral brand for £8 each.

Priced at £40, the Sol de Janeiro Perfume Mist Discovery Set is ideal if you’d like to have all your favourites in a smaller format to take with you when going away. Alternatively, if you haven’t had a chance to try them out yet, but don’t want to commit to buying the full-size items, the bundle allows you to try out five of the fragrances for a snip of the price.

Our very own fragrance expert Jada Jones has previously tried the 62 scent and said: “’62 has to be my favourite of the full range, it takes everything you expect from a gourmand and puts it at an affordable price. When I wear this I feel like I’m a holiday dessert, good enough to eat and sunkis]sed. It’s a happy smell, I don’t think it’s possible to have a bad day while you’re wearing it. It’s a staple to any collection if you like a sweet scent.”

FatFace’s striped summer dress

FatFace has released a collection in collaboration with Jude’s Ice Cream and we can’t get enough of it. One piece in particular shoppers have been flocking to is the Maria midi dress, which is perfect for the sunny season.

The patterned frock comes in two lengths: short and regular. It has a retro-inspired design with a pleated skirt, a stripe pattern, thick shoulder straps and a back zipper. And the best part? It has pockets.

The stunning piece comes in a range of sizes, from a size six to 24 – but due to its popularity, some sizes are sold out.

The £69 item is comfortable and breathable, as it is made from cotton and linen, so you can wear it on even the hottest summer days. Want to add it to your warm weather wardrobe? You can buy it here.

Boots Mens Edit Grooming Box

Since it’s Father’s Day next weekend, why not treat your Dad, Grandad, Stepdad, or a father figure in your life? The Boots Mens Edit Limited Edition Beauty Box is worth over £118, but priced at just £38, not only saving money, but time in choosing a present for the occasion, too.

The kit features nine premium grooming and skincare must-haves – six of which are full sized – to help users upgrade their bathroom cabinet. Ideal for grooming gurus and skincare novices alike, the complete regime features everything from cleansers, toners and moisturisers, to everyday essentials like roll on deodorant and hair styling heroes.

Among the products, shoppers will find a selection of well-loved, iconic brands and products, like Liz Earle, No7, Bulldog, and Shiseido. One of the items, the Liz Earle Mens After-Shaving Moisturiser 50ml, is worth £25 alone.

But it’s not the only exciting product inside, with a face mask, serum and ingrown hair pads also waiting to be unboxed. If you want to know the full contents of the haul, you can read more about them here, or pick up the box on the Boots website.
