Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
BEAUTY
At this time of year, skin can look dull. So Biore has launched a new range to boost hydration and restore radiance. The Biore Hydrate & Glow collection is packed with skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, coconut oil and shea butter. We love the
AHA Exfoliator, £9.99, which contains lactic and malic acids to gently exfoliate and coconut water to soothe. Available in Superdrug.
EAT
How’s this for a delicious pudding the whole family can share – and it costs just £3. The new Co-op S’mores Chocolate Brownie was inspired by the American campfire treat and features a rich brownie base topped with biscuit crumb, marshmallows and chocolate sauce. Heat it and serve with ice cream for a tasty treat.
HOME
Homeware brand
Brabantia has launched a new range of stylish containers that are designed to carry food on the go. The Make & Take collection comes in dark grey, light grey and our favourite, jade green. Look out for the soup mug, £12.95, which comes with a handy screw-on toppings container for croutons or seeds. Visit brabantia.com.
ECO
British beauty brand Bramley is on a mission to become even more sustainable with the launch of compostable refill pouches containing its much-loved products, including body wash and shampoo. The plastic-free pouches can be recycled in your food waste bin or with garden waste. Prices start at £12 from bramley.co.uk.
CHRISTMAS
With December fast approaching, why not let your pooch share the festive fun with this Pets At Home Dog Advent Calendar, £3? It’s packed with dog-friendly treats that your pet will enjoy. There are versions for cats and other small animals too. They’re available to buy in store and online at petsathome.com.
