Want a smarter house? Of course you do. And thanks to Amazon Prime Day deals you can get a smarter house for cheaper. Win win!

Shoppers are raving about the Tapo Smart Plug which is 50% off in Amazon’s October Prime Day sales, and it will cost you just £14.98.

What even is a smart plug, you ask? The unique plug allows you to turn on and off your appliances wherever you are, using your app if you’re out and even your voice if you’re at home.

Ah, modern-day technology. It seems to be getting better and better and making our lives easier. We’re kind of expecting someone to now invent Bernard’s Watch from that old CITV program (fans of this show will feel nostalgic now…).

And now someone has invented a plug that allows you to operate fans, lights, computers, and really anything that uses a plug WHEREVER you are.

The neat little device has been slashed by nearly half price for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. That’s a saving of £10, but be SPEEDY because this sale will be gone by the finish of October 11 (today).

The clever plug can work with Alexa, Google Assistant and you can also connect it to your phone using the free Tapo app. Techy, right?

Tapo Smart Plug

This smart plug has been slashed by 40% for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. But be quick because this sale will be gone by the finish of October 11. The clever device allows you to turn on and off your home appliances wherever you are, and you can even turn them on and off with a timer.

SHOP £14.98 (save £10.01)

And it can even be scheduled with a timer. This means that you could use an app to do things like turn your lights on and off while you’re out or on holiday (a top tip for deterring burglars).

It also means you could switch the likes of your coffee machine on or off from the comfort of your bed.

One shopper wrote how it ‘becomes possible to switch on your plugs literally without lifting a finger’ (Picture: Amazon)

It just makes life easier. As one shopper wrote: ‘It becomes possible to switch on your plugs literally without lifting a finger.’

Plus, having your appliances set with timers could stop you from having any major (literal) meltdowns.

As one Amazon reviewer wrote: ‘I have some set to go off at a certain time daily in case I fall asleep leaving some things on, so they will not be on all night or wake you because they are still on.’

Yes, now you can make sure that your ‘quick’ weekend afternoon nap won’t result in your cheese toasty getting burnt to a crisp, again. And kudos to that.

Plus, being able to have more control over what devices are on in your home could save you energy and money in the long run too. Double kudos.

As another reviewer wrote: ‘I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep track of their energy costs and have more control.’

Doesn’t get much better.

There is a part of leggings so impressive shoppers are buying them in all the colours – and better yet, you can currently get them for 25% off in Amazon’s October Prime Day deal.

Get yourself some of CRZ YOGA Women’s Butterluxe Yoga Leggings with 25% off for the two-day Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Sale.

Not only do shoppers rave about how flattering the fabric is on their bum, stomach and legs (bonus) but they’ve shared how comfortable the tights are in general.

Today they’ll only set you back £23.25.

But be just as speedy as on the treadmill ’cause this deal for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days ends October 11.

And if £23.25 could add a little something something to our derrière it’s money well spent, right?

It’s all down to the ‘v back seam’ that aims to make your butt look more peachy, as one Amazon reviewer wrote: ‘I love how they look on the bum -10/10’.

And they come in a LARGE range of colours. Maybe you’ll want to continue on the 2023 summer Barbie train and opt for a juicy pink shade.

CRZ YOGA Women's Butterluxe Yoga Leggings

CRZ YOGA Women's Butterluxe Yoga Leggings

These yoga leggings have been slashed by 25%, costing now the reasonable price of £23.25. Shoppers love how it makes their stomach, bum and legs look, even calling them 'the comfiest, most flattering, softest leggings'.

SHOP £23.25 (save £7.75)

Sure, they look great, but because sweating it out on the treadmill or getting bossed about by a PT isn’t always a fun time, these pants also pride themselves on being comfortable.

As one Amazon customer wrote: ‘Was recommended these by someone on prime days and they are the softest, most comfortable leggings I’ve ever owned.

‘And I have a lot of branded sports leggings!’

CRZ YOGA Women's Butterluxe Yoga Leggings
The leggings are also high-waisted with tummy control and Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of it (Picture: Amazon)

Loving the support, another wrote: ‘They are so flattering, especially on my postpartum body and are such high quality.’

Another mused: ‘My insecurity is my legs but these somehow make them look slimmer and more toned than they actually are.

‘The comfiest, most flattering, softest leggings I’ve ever tried.’

They’re not exclusive for the gym, either – you could unleash your inner ‘yoga bunny yummy mummy’ and wear them about town, sipping green smoothies (what else?).

If you didn’t manage to pick up a bargain on the first day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, fear not there’s still time but you’ll need to be quick as it ends at midnight tonight!

And we have to say, these deals on Shark vacuums (and just vacuums in general, while we’re at it) are some of the best we’ve seen.

If you’re a Prime member, there’s a huge range of products on offer, including the ever-popular Shark cordless vacuum cleaners, currently available for up to £170 less than usual.

Prices have been slashed on at least three of its models, among them the Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner currently available for £229.99, down from £379.99 and the Shark Stratos Cordless 120-minute on sale for £329.

You can now buy a Kindle Paperwhite with 19% off in the Amazon Prime Big Day Deal Sale, which ends today – so be quick!

Prices start at £75, with top deals savings shoppers wads of cash.

In the long time, the Kindle could save you money on books which, just naturally, makes reading more fun, right?

In one of the best deals of the day, the Kindle Paperwhite has been slashed to £129.99 from its original price of £159.99. Blimey.

You can also save £50 on the Kindle Oasis, which comes with adjustable warm light for those wanting to save their eyes after a marathon reading session.

You could get it just in time to scare yourself with a Halloween horror book (The Exorcist if you dare…).

And you could use one of these Kindles to transport you anywhere from Hogwarts to New York of the Great Gatsby 1920s, whether you’re spending some qual time on the loo or waiting for the 917 bus.

You can now buy a Kindle Paperwhite with 19% off in the Amazon Prime Big Day Deal Sale, which ends October 11. Shoppers say having one has saved them money because 'books are cheaper on Kindle'.

And even if you’re not an Amazon Prime member, you could sign up for their free trial to bag this limited-time deal. And that’s a great little money-saving tip if there ever was one (watch this space, Martin Lewis).

If you’re wondering what is so special about a Kindle, well it could save you a fortune on books. Hallelujah.

As one Amazon reviewer wrote: ‘It’s so good, books are cheaper on Kindle, so if you buy a book and it’s rubbish, you won’t have spent as much money on it as a physical book.

‘I WISH I had got one sooner!’

Plus, when you buy the Kindle Paperwhite with this deal, you’ll get three months of free Kindle Unlimited. This means that you’ll get access to millions of FREE books, thousands of audiobooks and selected magazine subscriptions.

If reading more was on your 2022 list of New Year resolutions (that long-forgotten list), this Kindle could help you achieve it before the year ends.

As one Amazon shopper wrote: ‘I’ve been obsessed with it since I got it and it has made me read even more!

‘The brightness and warmth screen features are great and allow me to read anywhere at any time without my eyes hurting.’ 

Perfect if you’re on a late-night bus or tucked up in bed. Pure bliss.

Another user raved about how convenient it is to use, raving that they can ‘hold it easily in the one hand whilst eating my lunch’.

Pret Plowman’s Baguette in the one hand, Fifty Shades in the other – we can’t think of a more perfect lunch break.

Another shopper even wrote that ‘it’s really made my reading experience better, which I didn’t think was possible.’

We thought our Harry Potter enjoyment had peaked and ebbed. But maybe not, so it seems.

In another Amazon October Prime Day deal win, the famous Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is yours for a saving.

Just picture it: you wake up early to get yourself ready for the day – you take your time ensuring your hair is just right and, despite the effort and aching arms, it’s worth it.

For a few minutes, that is.

You step outside and… whoosh: The UK weather comes along all guns blazing – gusts of wind with drizzle in tow, and completely ruins your do. We’re talking frizz, we’re talking straw-like strands, we’re talking breakdown.

But what if we told you there was a magic product that could quite literally shield your hair from frizzy faux-pas, and that during the Prime Big Deal Days you could get it for 35% off?

Boasting over 51,000 five-star ratings, and even used by the likes of Kim Kardashian and J-Lo’s hairstylist, the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is the haircare treatment you’ll want to have in your arsenal if glass-like hair and frizz-free tresses are on your checklist.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray

Acting as an invisible cloak for your hair, this protective hair treatment wraps each strand in a water-resistant barrier that causes water to bead up and roll off, leaving silky, glossy, frizz-free hair for up to three days.

shop £17.49 (save £9.51)

Acting as an invisible cloak for your hair with moisture-resistant powers (so kind of like a glamorous rain mac, actually), the treatment spray aims to wrap each strand in an ‘imperceptible anti-humidity, anti-static jacket’.

The result? Hair that isn’t just silky, glossy and frizz-free, but resistant to water, humidity and adverse weather too, with water beads simply rolling off. How clever is that?

Even better, the treatment spray stays on your hair and continues delivering results for up to three days straight, meaning you can wave goodbye to expensive chemical treatments.

Unlike chemical salon treatments, which are pricey and require you to talk to people (ew), the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is easy to use at home on damp hair, keeping frizz under control whenever and wherever you need it.

Who knew there’d be a world where you could walk to the bus stop without the British weather making it look like you’ve just rolled out of bed?

It’s as easy as spritzing the ‘miracle’ spray on towel-dried hair, followed by a blitz with a hairdryer to activate. After that, you can enjoy humidity and rain-proof hair that looks gorgeously silky, smooth and glass-like.  

We’ll keep it brief with the science element, because who really cares when the result is so great? Basically, the treatment uses a heat-activated polymer that compresses, tightens, and seals the hair fibre to repel moisture and leave tresses ultra-glossy and smooth.

And shoppers have been truly blown away with how well the treatment spray worked for them, describing it as ‘the product I was missing all my life’ and a ‘miracle worker’.

One reviewer wrote: ‘This product is a game changer for straight hair prone to frizz. Even under extreme temperatures, the hair remained straight.’

Another added: ‘I have tried so many products on my dry frizzy hair. This really is wow. My hair is shiny and soft. My fella even commented on how nice my hair looked and he never notices anything.’

What more convincing could you need?

If you’ve ever fallen down a CleaningTok rabbit hole you’ll have been sucked in (pardon the pun) by the super-powerful spot upholstery cleaners that leave users’ waste water running black.

Hugely yuck but also hugely satisfying? Oh yes.

One of the most notable cleaners is, you guessed it, the Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner, currently a bestseller on Amazon and described by shoppers as ‘better than a professional cleaner’.

And even better, it’s currently on sale as part of Amazon’s Big Deal Days!

Earning TikTok viral status for being exceptionally good at sucking up all your messes, this versatile cleaner quickly, easily and conveniently lifts spills and stains, combining powerful suction with deep cleaning.

It boasts two cleaning attachments – the multipurpose and hard floor scrub, designed to tackle stains and messes on different surface types, making it perfect for using across carpet, upholstery, stairs and even sealed hard floors.

And surprise surprise, shoppers are absolutely obsessed, with many shocked at how quickly the Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner made once soiled upholstery spick and span.

‘My sofa looked like it’d been through war with 2 puppies 3 cats and 2 toddlers,’ one five-star reviewer noted. ‘One clean made it look brand new. 20 mins max it took me. Amazing!’

Bargain hunters, listen up: We’ve found an unmissable deal on the 2nd Generation Echo Buds in the Prime Day October sales, with a huge saving of 67%.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are officially here – but time is ticking before the deals end – which means that if you’ve had your eye on something special, now’s the time to grab it with huge discounts across tech, beauty, fashion, home and more.

One of the most swoon-worthy deals we’ve found are the 2nd Generation Echo Buds which have been reduced from £109.99 to an unmissable £35.99 – their lowest ever price.

Saving you £74.

We’re not losing it, you are.

With many tech-sperts comparing these ear buds to Apple’s Airpods but for a fraction of the price, we reckon this is a deal you’re not going to want to miss.

Finding a comfortable pair of earbuds that don’t slip out when you’re on the go but also offer high-quality, immersive sound is no mean feat, especially when you’re on a budget.

But shoppers are saying these 2nd Generation Echo Buds are ‘amazing for the price’, with one shopper describing them as ‘MUCH better than Apple…’.

Like the majority of Amazon’s smart tech, one of the Echo Bud’s defining features is the integration of Alexa, Amazon’s voice-controlled virtual assistant.

This feature allows you to control music, make calls, receive notifications, set reminders and access a load of other smart features just by using voice commands. Think: ‘Alexa, play feel-good, cheesy pop.’

Users have also praised the exceptional audio quality, noise-cancellation capabilities, and comfortable fit of the Echo Buds, with one raving: ‘Noise cancelling is great, sound quality is amazing and I can wear them anywhere as they fit within my ear snugly.’

The active noise cancellation feature allows you to fully immerse yourself in your favourite tunes without any external distractions, and when you want to let the outside world in, Pass-through mode can be activated with just the touch of the bud.

The Echo Buds also feature fantastic long-lasting battery life, providing up to five hours of continuous playback on a single charge, with the included charging case extending the total playtime to an impressive 15 hours.

And as if it couldn’t get any better, they’re also water-resistant, meaning you don’t need to panic if you get caught in the rain when you’re listening or chatting on the go.

One five-star reviewer wrote: ‘These amazon echo gen 2 earbuds are superb I have been using them in the gym for the last month and they just work.

‘One long tap to go from just you and the music and being able to hear everything around you. Battery life is also outstanding why pay more when these do everything you could need.’

We can hear the quality already…

While another added: ‘Tried so many teeth whitening products. Never believed they worked and always thought only a dentist can give you white teeth but this product is the best I’ve ever used.

Which MySweetSmile products would work for you?

Teeth Whitening Powder – It targets stains and plaque caused by stubborn stains like coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and more. It is enamel-safe and non-abrasive.

Teeth Whitening Strips – Formulated with PAP, a safer alternative to peroxide, these strips aim to whiten teeth from the first application, without causing sensitivity or irritation.

Precision Teeth Whitening Pen – This travel-friendly pen uses a PAP-based formula for on-the-go whitening, suitable even for crooked or crowded teeth.

nHA+ Enamel Care Serum – Designed for individuals with sensitive teeth, this serum aids in enamel remineralisation and reduces sensitivity.

Unlike many teeth whitening brands, MySweetSmile products do not contain peroxide.

Peroxide is known to cause severe sensitivity and irritated gums when it’s used at home without the direction of a dentist. Instead, the Strips and Pen are formulated with PAP, a peroxide-free alternative. They also use PT (Pentasodium Triphosphate), a non-abrasive whitening ingredient, to avoid enamel damage and sensitivity.

I knew I had to simplify my wardrobe (Picture: Elizabeth McCafferty)

Hauling three large laundry bags into an Uber in August, I sat in silence as I contemplated whether this was one of my more stupid ideas.

I didn’t know that I was about to take my first steps in developing a lucrative side hustle.

It all started when I realised I’d become unhappy with my style.

Where detailed vintage beading, embellishment and silk once suited me, I now preferred a cleaner, more tailored look.

That meant I had a lot of beautiful clothes, but I just didn’t wear them enough. And despite my best efforts to sell them on Depop and Vinted, they weren’t shifting.

So I decided to change tack and set up a stall at Hackney Flea Market, one of my favourite places to buy vintage.

But as I looked around at everyone’s perfectly curated vintage wares, imposter syndrome set in. Was my stuff actually any good? I wondered whether it would be obvious that I was indeed selling the pre-loved clothes from my own wardrobe and that I was not in the business of clothing resale.

When I was younger and experimenting with my fashion, I had been more inclined to make quick purchases that I later regretted. The impact that fast fashion has on the environment is devastating and also having to store lots of clothes I don’t wear made me feel ashamed of overconsuming.

So I started shopping second hand as a way to find more unique pieces no one else had – and I also found items to be so much cheaper.

I found original 70s pieces like jumpsuits for a tenner at a car boot or a genuine Burberry coat for £40, leather jackets or vintage New Rock boots. In fact, pretty much my whole wardrobe became filled with second hand or vintage items.

But as I got older and my shape changed, my clothes started to fit me less. This was also a turning point in me becoming unhappy with my style. I knew I had to simplify my wardrobe and get rid of items once loved that no longer fitted.

Studies have shown that we need to cut how much we buy by 75% in order to make our wardrobes more sustainable – and that was certainly true in my case.

Like many others, I have been feeling the pinch of the cost of living crisis. My rent has gone up by £50 per month, which has meant I’ve been looking for new sources of income to help me keep afloat. I’m constantly seeing people online selling secondhand clothes as a business and it got me questioning whether this would also work for me too.

I had no luck on the traditional resale platforms and it turns out I’m not alone in that area as a study by Samsung proved that 39% of Brits gave up on selling old clothes, with 55% admitting to throwing them in the bin.

I also had a small amount of home wear which I displayed on the tablecloth (Picture: Elizabeth McCafferty)

In a last ditch attempt, I turned to the brilliant vintage clothing markets near my home in east London.

Clearing more than half my wardrobe into three large laundry bags, like knitted jumpers, leather coats and pretty sheer tops, I photographed all the items I wanted to sell in a professional way and enquired about how I could get my own stall.

A stall at a Hackney Flea market cost me £50 per day and I asked to book two days.

I invested in an £18 clothing rail to display my clothes, spent a further £11.98 on bags and price tags, £8.99 on laundry bags to transport stock and, on top of all that, I also spent £16 on Ubers there and back.

All in all, I was nearly £155 down before I’d even begun.

Some said it was one of the nicest collections of clothes they have seen (Picture: Elizabeth McCafferty)

I was really nervous about not making that money back, let alone any extra on my clothes. That feeling only worsened when I noticed how small my collection looked in comparison to the huge rails other sellers had.

Still I persevered. I hung up my clothes and priced them up – my highest cost item was an embellished leather jacket that was £130 and my cheapest item was £5. I tried to make sure I priced things so that it was accessible to all.

I also had a really small amount of home wear, which I displayed on the tablecloth.

Once the doors opened, my worries eased. There were more people at my stall than I could count and some said it was one of the nicest collections of clothes they have seen.

I realised that, because my wardrobe was so carefully curated, it actually made my stall quite niche.

Most people asked when I’d be selling again (Picture: Elizabeth McCafferty)

It was quite overwhelming watching clothes I could remember wearing over 10 years ago go to someone else. But after a couple of hours it was actually really fun and I was happy they’d be loved and worn more than they had been for years.

Of course, there were moments when people would take my clothes off to the bathrooms to try them on, which made me nervous as it was hard to keep track of who had what, but everything came back and there was no trouble.

On the second day, another seller came and asked me if I was ‘mainly selling bric a brac’. I tried not to be oversensitive but it felt like a dig at the quality of my items.

But most people asked when I’d be selling again or what other markets I traded at.

By the end of the two days, I was ecstatic with how much I’d made – £1,423.50 in total.

I didn’t have many clothes left to sell, but it didn’t take long to decide to make this into a side hustle. In my normal creative work, I’d struggle to make this sort of money so quickly.

I re-invested £300 back into the new business and called my stall ‘Three Bags Full’ – mainly because I can’t store any more than three bags in my flat, but it also helps to keep my stock carefully and individually selected.

Now I have been restocking my bags with newly-bought second-hand items that I’ve found with the intention of selling and not wearing.

Getting rid of things from my wardrobe has really helped re-evaluate my relationship to consumerism. For me, the simpler my wardrobe the better now.

For anyone considering whether to start a market stall, my advice would be to do one and see what happens. I didn’t expect so much good to come out of it in terms of financial help and it’s really boosted my confidence.

I haven’t confirmed my next market yet as stalls are so busy over Christmas I can’t get a slot this last minute – but I can’t wait to get back there.

The wrong footwear has the ability to completely ruin your day – there’s nothing worse than aching feet when you’re trying to go about your business – but these trainers are evidently made from the cloth of gods… if you’re reading the reviews, that is.

A solid trainer choice has to be one of the most useful items in our everyday wardrobe, so we’re always on the lookout for super comfy sneakers. 

If you’re constantly darting around running errands, chasing after the kids or are on your feet a lot for work, you’ll need to invest in a trainer that not only feels comfy throughout the day but also offers the feet that all-important support. 

These Skechers Women’s Summits Sneakers (yes, Sketchers) have been getting a lot of traction online, with shoppers raving about the comfort factor.

Calling them ‘absolute heaven’, one shopper said: ‘I wanted comfort and that’s exactly what I got. I brought these in size 4 and the fit is perfect. I feel like I’m walking on air. I would recommend anyone looking for comfort on their feet to buy these amazing trainers and the style is perfect. Excellent pair of trainers.’

One shopper wrote about the trainers: ‘I bought these after a friend at work recommended them. We work 12 hr shifts as nurses, so we are on our feet all day.

‘They are very comfortable and lightweight, the cushioned sole makes all the difference. I tried them for a week then bought another pair as they were on offer. Also good that you don’t have to mess around with laces.’

While another said: ‘Great fit, I wear these daily for work and am on my feet for 8 hours per day 5 days a week and wash them often with no issues. They also dry really quickly on the washing line or tumble dryer.’

And a third wrote: ‘Bought these to replace a pair of old trainers. I was looking for a pair of comfortable trainers at a reasonable price and was excited to come across these Skechers.

Shoppers are saying this facial oil is ‘so amazing’ they ‘can’t go a day’ without using it. That’s some testimonial!

Balmonds have long been considered a skin saviour thanks to its incredible range of products, including its Skin Salvation Balm which has been praised by customers for helping to eliminate spots and soothe irritated and sensitive skin.

But the English brand has also gained a legion of loyal fans thanks to its Intensive Facial Oil, which customers say works wonders on dry skin.

Definitely needed now the weather has changed, right?

Is it just us or as soon as the summer sun dips out of the sky and the autumn chill is in the air, our skin develops an undertone of grey and becomes about as dry as a crusty bap?

Seriously, any drier and we’ll develop scales…

One customer said they’d seen rapid results, writing online: ‘Miracle oil, you can see a definate improvement within 3 days. Great stuff, wish I had found this year’s ago.’

The snazzy oil is packed full of natural ingredients, including grapeseed and rosehip. It’s 100% natural, fragrance-free and cruelty-free and it’s ideal for even the most sensitive of skin.

You apply just a few drops onto freshly cleansed skin in the morning or last thing at night and gently massage in with upward strokes.

The reviews have been glowing with customers saying they feel confident without make-up (Picture: Balmonds)

The oil may be £22 a bottle but customers say a little really does go a long way.

Aside from dryness, customers said the almond was amazing at reducing redness and irritation.

Another customer claimed that the oil had given them the confidence to go make-up free.

‘Amazingly hydrating and takes the redness in my skin away,’ they added. ‘Super happy. (The smell is strong).’

‘Can’t go a day without using this product,’ another satisfied customer said. ‘It is truly amazing.’

And if you suffer with rosacea, this serum will help your skin glow without hopefully causing flare-ups.

‘I love this oil. I suffer from rosacea and have to be very careful what I put on my face in case it flares up – again,’ one customer explained. ‘This is super, it doesn’t flare up and I will definitely purchase again. I also love the ethics behind the company and the super-natural ingredients.’

Attention all Black Honey lovers: the viral Clinique lipstick’s little sister is now available in the UK – and she’s gorgeous.

There’s no denying it: everyone and their nan has seen the viral Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick doing the rounds on the internet since bursting back into the limelight a few years ago.

We’re not surprised either, as the lippie, which has a lightweight formula that can be built up or kept as a sheer wash of colour, truly looks good on everyone.

We’d tag it one of those universal lipsticks because the colour seems to melt into any skin tone, leaving a gorgeous, just-bitten hue that gives a slightly different finish on everyone.

But we digress – being obsessed with Black Honey is only part of the reason we’re here writing this today.

We’re even more excited about the release of Clinique’s new Almost Lipstick, Black Honey’s gorgeous little sister – Pink Honey.

Naturally, we had to try it to see if it lived up to the hype.

Boasting the same emollient-rich, satin finish as Black Honey but in a gorgeous soft pink shade, Pink Honey is the no-lipstick-lippie you’ll want to have in your arsenal heading into autumn.

Juicy and lightweight with a glossy-satin finish, Pink Honey is buildable while offering an understated, soft look that’s perfectly suited to any occasion.

Both shades are buildable and look different dependent on your skin shade.

Also, like Black Honey, Pink Honey merges with the unique natural tone of your lips to create a look that is unique to you. Now that’s special.

For me, the soft pink finish gave me a your-lips-but-better look that I absolutely adored. As someone with fair skin, I’m always looking for a lipstick that’ll give me a sweet and flattering wash of colour without washing me out, and Pink Honey does just that.

The lipstick glides on easily and offers buildability that I layered on to create a bold but delicate pink that’s perfect for every day as well as special occasions where you want a subtle lip.

It also boasts a balm-like finish, which, for someone who’s addicted to lip balm, bodes extremely well for my easily dried lips.

I was shocked at how beautiful the Black Honey lipstick looked on me – especially alongside my pale skin.

The coveted ‘Almost Lipstick’ formula means that it’s super easy to tell the two lipsticks are related. Black Honey glides on just as easily- equally as buildable but creating a much darker, berry-toned hue.

I’m not usually one to opt for berry lip shades, but I was shocked at how beautiful the lipstick looked on me – especially alongside my pale skin. It was sophisticated, warm yet cool, and utterly wearable.

Pink Honey is exclusive to ASOS and Clinique until December. Snap up yours today.

Amazon is hiding free goodies in its lockers across the country this week in the run up to the shopping site’s Big Deal Days, taking place October 10 – October 11.

The online giant will be giving away everything from mobile phones and earphones to kitchen gadgets, watches and beauty must-haves. But there is a catch.  

To be in with a chance of winning, you’ll have to be an existing Prime customer and you’ll need to have already ordered an item via Amazon.

The free gifts will be hidden in lockers in London, Cardiff, Liverpool Newcastle, Belfast, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester.

Lucky Prime customers visiting a locker to collect an existing order will be given a second code, which will magically open another locker.

Inside, they’ll find their surprise.

Find the best Prime Day deals

For those who want to get ahead on their Christmas shopping, Prime day will take place from Tuesday, October 10, until the late hours of Wednesday, October 11.

As with the summer event, many deals will only be available to those subscribed to Amazon Prime.

If you sign up now, an Amazon Prime membership will set you back £8.99 per month or £95 per year. Students get a discount, with membership costing £4.49 per month or £47.49 per year.

But if you don’t want to commit to the membership, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial and still snap up those sweet deals.

As always, the eagle-eyed team here at Metro.co.uk will be bringing you our picks of the best buys, saving you from hours of scrolling.

And you don’t even have to wait until next week. We’ve got the heads up about the early Prime day discounts, like 50% off Ring doorbells, 40% off Amazon Fire Sticks and 60% off Amazon Echo Dot.

One of the most coveted skincare products in Hollywood, Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream claims to erase fine lines and wrinkles and make skin look plump and refreshed – and, it’s had a stylish upgrade you need to get around.

Now we’re prepared to go to extreme lengths to achieve eternal youth. Well, maybe not too extreme – Kim Kardashian once said she’d eat poo every day to look younger but we have a dodgy tummy at the best of times.

Thankfully, Kim has managed to avoid a bowl full of you-know-what and look youthful AF, no doubt helped along by this cream touted by many as ‘the best’ – Augustinus Bader’s The Cream and The Rich Cream.

Kim isn’t the only celeb fan of Augustinus Bader’s creation, with Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Meghan Markle and Charlize Theron all loving it too, according to word on the street.

So what’s so special about this cream? And who do we have to snog to get slathered in it?

Firstly, the brand was founded by Professor Augustinus Bader, who is a German-born biomedical scientist, physician and leading expert in the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. So in other words, the guy knows his stuff.

The Rich Cream has 30 years of research behind it and works to reduce signs of ageing by deeply hydrating the skin. Use on dry skin and massage in circular motions to achieve the best results. It’s ideal for normal to dry skin, mature skin and complexions in cold environments.

Alternatively, if you’re a greasy goddess you could use the brand’s The Cream, which is equally as hydrating but more lightweight than its counterpart. Perfect for oily skin, younger skin and those in a hotter climate.

‘This cream is a miracle in a bottle,’ one reviewer said of The Rich Cream. ‘Will never be without the rich cream! Given me the confidence to go out make-up free.’

As if that wasn’t reason enough to splash out on this cream, it just got a jazzy new makeover. Augustinus Bader has launched an exclusive collaboration with Haider Ackermann. You can now purchase either The Rich Cream or The Cream in a new bottle that has been described by Haider Ackermann himself.

The man is one of the most commended designers in the whole of the industry so owning a bottle, or an ultra-modern collectible chrome Nomad vessel as he describes it, is like owning a piece of art.

Now we know what you’re thinking. Throw around words like Kim K and nomad vessel and this isn’t gonna be a product you can get on three for two. It is pricey at £435 for two bottles of The Rich Cream in the fancy new bottles.

MORE : Shoppers ‘turning back the clock’ with these skincare must-haves: ‘My sensitive, red, reactive and wrinkled skin hasn’t looked or felt this good in decades’

But we’ve done the girl maths. The experts say a 100ml bottle should last you four months. The reviews say The Rich Cream goes a long way. So say you use half of that, we’re talking £435 spread out over eight months. This comes to £54 per month, which means roughly £12 a week. That’s less than a takeaway.

And what’s better? The momentary high of a peri peri chip or life-changing skin smoother than a tangerine?

We know what we’d prefer.

There is a cheap-as-chips scalp massager brush that, according to reviews from Amazon shoppers, has been sent from the heavens.

The Freatech Scalp Massager Shampoo Brush can help you say farewell to that annoying oily residue that can stay in your hair and make it look flat AF, as well as potentially give you thicker hair in the long run.

Well, that’s according to thrilled users, anyway.

Let’s be honest, when we wash our hair, we all kind of expect to be left with swishy, flick-worthy hair fit for a Pantene advert.

But sometimes, despite the fact we’ve used our fave pricey shampoo, our scalp still has an oily residue. Our volume game is non-existent and it looks like we’re on day three rather than day one.

And it’s in these sorts of nightmarish situations that this £5.99 Scalp Massager Shampoo Brush can be a saviour, as it aims to remove ‘flakes and build-up from the scalp and spreads hair care products deeply’.

We can feel the wind flowing through our locks already.

As one five-star Amazon reviewer wrote: ‘If you struggle with an oily scalp and hair that gets greasy after only a day or so I recommend this product.

‘It really helps to get deep in your roots when shampooing and make sure you wash the oil out properly.’

Another raved: ‘This is super – my hair has never felt so clean – it now looks much thicker and fuller as my hair on the scalp is so clean and all residue from previous conditioners and/or shampoo have been removed. It is gentle and doesn’t scratch the scalp at all, either. Thoroughly recommend.’

One noted it ‘reduced scalp build up giving me healthier, thicker, longer hair’ and another even said their hair ‘literally stopped falling out’.

Multiple others simply noted it ‘changed’ their life.

And as well as helping to ensure that your post-wash day feels as glorious as it should, the brush can also do good things for your scalp.

It can get the blood flowing, which comes with benefits according to a 2016 study on Japanese men, where researchers found that scalp massages increased hair thickness.

You can use it to give your hair a massage as well as in the shower

And thick hair could get us that bit closer to looking like we’re a head-turner from those Pantene adverts.

Oh, and did we mention that it feels pretty heavenly? There’s nothing like putting your feet up after a long, hard day having a cuppa and giving yourself a scalp massage.

Plus, if you have a pet the brush you could use it to give them a massage and their fur a thorough clean. As one customer wrote: ‘I didn’t actually buy this for my hair I purchased it for my Westie as its gentle rubber is ideal.

‘He absolutely loves it and he loves the gentle head massage.’

We’ll reckon we’ll probably be hogging it most of the time though. After we give it a soapy wash, perhaps.

Boasting a huge variety of features – from the ever-helpful Alexa assistant, crystal clear-sounding speaker, and much-loved smart home controls, the Echo Dot 5th Generation Speaker is the does-it-all household helper your home needs.

Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a life without Alexa now, is that codependent or just sad? Maybe best not to ask.

Shoppers describe the aptly named (because it’s round, obvs) Dot speaker as ‘a life saver’, small and sleek enough to be placed anywhere around the home and activated with a simple call of ‘Alexa’, allowing you to ask for music to be played, news updates, information you should probably already know and so much more.

It’s truly at your every beck and call when it comes to any questions or requests you may have.

Think: Alexa, will it rain today? Alexa, should I put wool in the washing machine? Alexa, how do I get my life together? The possibilities are endless.

Most importantly, however, the Echo Dot is a super-impressive speaker, with the 5th generation model boasting improved speaker quality, deeper bass and clearer vocals for rich, vibrant sound.

So, whether you’re using it as the kitchen speaker for washing-up karaoke (Hamilton, always), more sophisticated dinner background music (we’re thinking smooth jazz), or as your bedside alarm clock, you’re guaranteed the best sound when you need it most.

Just ask Alexa to play music, podcasts and audiobooks and enjoy a fabulous audio experience anywhere in your home.

You can connect all your smart home devices to your Echo Dot

‘Alexa, close the blinds’, ‘Alexa, turn down the heating.’ Aspiring smart home guru? You can connect all your smart home devices to your Echo Dot and control them with your voice, allowing you to easily personalise and control your home without lifting a finger.

We’re not surprised the nifty little speaker has amassed over 12,000 five-star ratings for all these reasons and more.

‘There is nothing to dislike about the echo dot,’ One five-star reviewer raved. ‘It’s small, clever and practical. From giving me weather updates to news highlights and playing music, Alexa is always ready with an answer.’

Another reviewer agreed, adding: ‘I love this new addition to my family, have it in my bedroom and love listening to music before I go to sleep. Discovered last night that I can set a timer for it to switch off.’
