TOP of the SHOPS
Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
BEAUTY
Lacura at Aldi is the supermarket brand beauty editors love because of its high-quality products at bargain prices. Now it has launched a skincare range that contains CBD oil, which has been shown to have a calming and repairing effect on skin.
Try Lacura CBD Moisturiser, £5.99, which also contains hydrating sunflower seed oil and glycerine.
HEALTH
Freshly squeezed juice is packed with vitamins and other health benefits, especially if you include vegetables to reduce the sugar content. Which is why we’re fans of Organibox’s Juicing Box, £19.95. It contains a delicious selection of organic fruit and veg including kale, celery and apples, which are perfect for making a tasty green juice in the morning. Visit organibox.org.
DRINK
A resounding cheers to Brazilian gin company Vitoria Regia, which has launched four delicious gins in the UK. As well as the classic London Dry Organic, you can take your pick from Organic Rose, Organic Tropical and Organic Citrus. Try mixing up some cool summer cocktails or simply enjoy with tonic. From £29.95 at masterofmalt.com or Ocado.
KIDS
How’s this for a sophisticated take on Disney’s iconic Mickey Mouse silhouette? Dunelm has launched a new range of monochrome Disney Home bed linen, which is ideal for kids or even just big kids at heart. Choose from duvet sets, throws or super cute cushions. This bed-linen set is £28 at dunelm.com.
CHARITY
Beauty brand Q&A is donating 100 per cent of profits from sales of its new Marine Hyaluronate Toning Lotion, £8 (qandaskin.com) to the marine conservation charity Ocean Conservation Trust until August 8. The hydrating skin treat is packed with sea ingredients including seaweed and giant kelp algae, as well as moisturising squalane and hyaluronic acid.
