Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
BEAUTY
H&M Beauty has launched Oh Hey Hero, a fun new range with a host of useful products that are perfect for summer. Head to the high-street favourite to stock up on Little Champ Functional Moisturising Stick, £6.99, which contains shea butter to combat chafing and leave skin soft. Or protect skin while shaving with Skin Saver Sidekick Shaving Gel, £6.99, which is packed with hydrating ingredients.
DRINK
Here’s an interesting new mixer to add a twist to your favourite G&T. BZZD Energy Tonic Water, £15 for 12 cans, is a new tonic that contains caffeine to give you a natural – pardon the pun – buzz, and is slightly sweetened with blossom honey. It works well with spirits but is equally nice on its own, served over ice. Find it on Amazon.
HOME
The new summer home range from Primark Home is full of beautiful shades of blue. There are scented candles, stylish kitchenware and pretty napkins to choose from. But top of our wish list is this blue and white picnic blanket, £8, which rolls up and can be slung over your arm for easy carrying.
KIDS
When you’re strapped for time, Little Dish has got you covered, with nutritionally balanced and delicious ready meals made especially for children. From spaghetti and meatballs and chicken korma, to chicken and veg pie, there’s something to suit all appetites in this recently revamped range. Find them in most major supermarkets, prices start from £2.85.
SLEEP
If you struggle to nod off at night, you’re not alone – it’s estimated that one in three Brits have insomnia. But help is at hand with the Lifemax Soothing Sounds Night Light, £33.99. This clever device has a gentle night light that can pulse slowly to help you regulate your breathing, and plays 20 different nature sounds and relaxing music to help you unwind.
