Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week

DRINK

Clipper Tea was the UK’s first Fairtrade tea company, and the ethical brand has launched Mint Green Tea, £4, for Fairtrade Fortnight. The refreshing blend of mint and antioxidant-rich green tea makes this a healthy cuppa, and the biodegradable teabags make it a win for the planet too. You can find it in Waitrose.

BAKE

Whip up a delicious afternoon treat in no time at all with these easy-to-use new cake mixes, £2.50 each, from Carrs. Available in five delicious flavours – salted caramel, Victoria sponge, carrot, lemon and chocolate – all you need to do is add eggs, oil and water and pop in the oven. Visit carrsflour.co.uk for more information.

BEAUTY

Give your hair colour a boost with this new collection of shampoo, conditioner and 3 Minute Miracle deep treatment from Aussie. Aussie SOS Brunette Hydration and Aussie SOS Blonde Hydration have been designed to give locks a serious moisture hit while restoring colour and shine. Prices start at £5.99 in Boots.

ECO

Ecomodo is a new planetfriendly company that offers everything from affordable eco beauty to homeware and personal care – from bamboo make-up brushes and cooking utensils to soy candles. We love these coconut cups, £8.11 for two, which come with a bamboo straw and cleaning brush. Visit ecomodo.com for more details.

CLEAN

This new cordless Roidmi Z1 Air, £199, makes spring-cleaning a breeze. It’s super light and easy to move around, and features noise reduction technology so it’s extra quiet to use. It works equally well on hard floors and carpets, and can be used as a handheld vacuum for stairs and sofas. Find it at euronics. co.uk.
