E.l.f.'s Squeeze Me More Lip Balm Duo with some real "Laneige, but make it cheap" energy.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps — especially considering how costly competitive serums are!
E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
An Anthropologie-inspired reversible quilted throw blanket you can get in all kinds of fun, lively sprints that will startle your boring couch into having a personality, or give your bed a *much* needed reset after a long dreary winter.
A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!

E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation.
A compact windproof travel umbrella with one of those fancy buttons that makes it fan out on command like the expensive versions. But at this price?? You will kiss your past self on the nose for buying a few to slip into bags and glove compartments. And it comes in enough patterns that you'll be dodging rain clouds *and* compliments.
MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
A luxe, super soft two-piece pajama set with some real "vacation mode" energy, so even if your spring travel plans are "backyard" and "someone else's backyard," you can still feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Psst — reviewers compare these to the $128 Roller Rabbit version! 👀
Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works.

A simple faux-diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀).
An oh-so-classic pair of slip-on pointed toe ballet flats reviewers *love* as a cheaper alternative to the beloved Vivaia and Rothy's version, especially since these are also designed for all-day wear without any painful break-in periods.
L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
A bodycon lounge dress perfect for fans of Skims looking to spare themselves a few bucks — this versatile, figure-hugging dress has just the right amount of compression to mimic the iconic style and stay oh-so-comfortable for long periods of wear.
A suuuuper easy to use Beachwaver B1 Rotating Curling Iron with automatic curling technology similar to the $599 (!!) Dyson Airwrap that not only creates (LITERALLY) effortless curls, but is designed with a ceramic heat barrel that makes them hold up the whole day.
A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one?
A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.
Glossmetics' Lychee Lip Mask, a spring-friendly Laneige or Tatcha alternative that's already a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night. (Just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!)
A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising.
And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
A ridiculously versatile minimalist nylon tote bag for fans of Longchamp's Le Pliage bag who perhaps do not feel responsible enough to own the real deal, knowing how messy and chaotic everyday life and travel plans can get. This version is a dead ringer for the name brand, and reviewers adore that it's nearly waterproof and super comfortable to sling over your shoulder.
And a Lululemon-esque adjustable mini belted pack (aka ~fanny pack~) you can wear around your waist or shoulder for a lightweight bag alternative that you won't lose, since it is literally attached to you. A lot of reviewers mention how genuinely *stunned* they are by how much this little bag can secretly carry.
A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags — all the sophistication of tea, the zing! of coffee, and the 😜 of a cheeky cocktail, without the exorbitant bar price tags. All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious cocktail in one minute.
A little tomato light reviewers compare to the (out of stock!) $89 Urban Outfitters version, and swear by to cozify their kitchen space. Is it a fruit? Is it a vegetable?? Whomst can say, but whatever it is, it's adorable.

A high-quality, *just* compressive enough layering T-shirt reviewers love so much that a ton of them tried it and immediately ordered more colors to stock up. This shirt is double-lined but still feels lightweight on the skin, giving a sophisticated, expensive look with a casual feel. Reviewers compare it to Skims at a fraction of the price!

This viral brand creates dupes of your faves, from Charlotte Tilbury to rhode, here's what to buy to save £££
Famously, I hate dupes. Now, don't get me wrong, I love it when an affordable brand brings out an incredible product, and we can go, 'Hey! This is just as good as this really, really expensive product that we are obsessed with.' To me, that's a real dupe. But when a brand sticks a subpar product in packaging that looks exactly like bestselling brands to trick buyers, I am not into it. It's why I've had a one-sided beef with MCo Beauty for a while. The Australian brand is a viral hit on the likes of TikTok and use packaging and product names that are really, really similar (like, painfully so) to bestselling products that we know and love; from the rhode Lip Peptide Treatments to Milk Makeup Hydro Grip, Dior Blush and the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter – in fact they have a lot of Tilbury 'dupes'. Up until now, I've just watched on from afar as the brand wasn't available in the UK, but from today (21st of July) , the range is dropping in Superdrug. So, before you flock to buy the products (which are all under £15), I put some of the 'dupes' to the test. The brand says: 'The MCoBeauty FLAWLESS GLOW LUMINOUS SKIN FILTER is a 4-in-1, multi-tasking, skin booster designed to give your skin the ultimate glowing filter-like finish! This versatile formula is designed to be worn alone for a lightweight subtle glow, under makeup as a luminous primer, mixed with foundation to add a light-reflecting glow, or on top of makeup as highlighter.' A 'dupe' of: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Is it a dupe? Yes Our review: Looking past how shamelessly the packaging dupes our queen Char Tilbs, I cannot deny how good this skin filter is. It gives the same luminous glow and blurring effect that we know and love from the original, at a snip of the price. It's also really comparable to e.l.f.'s Halo Glow. The brand says: 'MCoBeauty PEPTIDE LIP TREATMENT combines conditioning and colour in a lip-glazing cream-oil formula. It has a non-sticky but sumptuous texture, providing your pout with the perfect amount of cushioning and plumpness with a glossy wash of colour.' A 'dupe' of: rhode Peptide Tint Is it a dupe? Yes Our review: Considering that rhode has had a little bit of online backlash on the graininess of some of their famous lip peptide treatment colours (which they have since addressed and reformulated), I'd say this balm/gloss hybrid is a great alternative. It's almost a gel-like feel as it glides onto the lips and doesn't have any stickiness or gloopiness, and the pigment is impressive and lasts (event through a recent dental treatment) I've been reaching for this over my other balms recently. The brand says: 'A 2-in-1 foundation and skincare powerhouse, the MCoBeauty MIRACLE FLAWLESS SKIN FOUNDATION has a creamy formula that evens skin's texture with buildable, medium coverage. The skin-nourishing ingredients help give boost moisture retention while smoothing and comforting skin. A fusion of Hyaluronic Acid and Coconut Water is blended with Rose Flower Water to work over time to revitalise skin's texture.' A 'dupe' of: Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation Is it a dupe? Yes (but with a caveat) Our review: God's honest truth? I'm not a fan of the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation. As an oily/combo girl, it's too dewy for me, and this foundation is exactly the same. The skin-nourishing nature of this trumps the foundation ability in my opinion, so within a few hours, I was shinier than a lighthouse at night. Oily gals, this is a miss, but drier skin types might like it. The brand says: 'MCoBeauty GRIP ILLUMINATING PRIMER is a gel formula that helps you prepare your skin for makeup application and adds a natural-looking, soft-focus glow.' A 'dupe' of: Milk Hydrogrip Primer Is it a dupe? No Our review: The texture of this is really similar to Milk Makeup's hero product and layers well under makeup, but honestly, this didn't work for me to help my makeup last longer, and I looked shiny by lunchtime. The brand says: 'MCoBeauty's XTENDLASH TUBING MASCARA is our best-selling, award-winning innovative tubing mascara maximising length, curl and volume without flaking or smudging. The formula creates water-resistant 'tubes' around each and every lash for maximum length, definition and hold.' A 'dupe' of: Glossier Lash Slick Is it a dupe? Yes Our review: I really like this tubing mascara. The brush is different to the Glossier mascara (which is plastic) but grabs every lash and lengthens without clumping. It melts off easily while cleansing. Some reviews say that it stings, and I haven't found that at all. The brand says: 'The MCoBeauty HIGHLIGHT & GLOW BEAUTY WAND is the perfect illuminating liquid highlighter wand to achieve gorgeously glowing skin in a flash!' A 'dupe' of: Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand Is it a dupe? No Our review: I like this product, but I found it's not as creamy as the CT Beauty Light Wands. It feels a bit stiffer to blend in, however the lasting power is pretty good. In this case, the quality aligns with the lower price point. The brand says: 'The secret to achieving flawless makeup looks! MCoBeauty MIRACLE FLAWLESS SETTING SPRAY is a multi-purpose setting spray that perfects your makeup while moisturising your skin.' A 'dupe' of: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Filter Setting Spray Is it a dupe? No Our review: Sadly, while it had a nice misting action, this did not set one iota of my makeup. To me, it could literally have been water in a misting bottle as I looked shiny within an hour of doing my makeup. Super disappointing. The brand says: 'The MCoBeauty XTENDBROWS SHAPE & SCULPT PENCIL is a long-wearing and pigmented formula that fills in sparse brows with natural hair-like strokes. The nourishing formula is infused with Castor Oil and B5 to help condition and support the growth of brow hairs, while the precise triangle tip is perfect for creating natural hairlike strokes.' A 'dupe' of: Kosas Brow Pop Pencil Is it a dupe? No Our review: I'm a big fan of the Kosas brow pencil, and the defining (ahem) feature that sets it apart from other brands is the super thin pencil nib – this formula doesn't have this. The pencil is creamy and applies smoothly to the skin with no pulling, but it doesn't grip onto the skin and wears away easily, so it's not one to wear to the gym. The brand says: 'MCoBeauty MIRACLE FLAWLESS PRESSED POWDER LIGHT a makeup finishing powder to perfect your makeup looks. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and velvety with a soft appearance.' A 'dupe' of: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder Is it a dupe? No Our review: This is a really lovely, finely-milled pressed powder, but doesn't have the je ne sais quoi of the beloved Tilbs powder. It works well for emergency touch-ups but as a setting powder, I found that the shine peeked through within a few hours. The brand says: 'MCoBeauty BROW LAMINATE SCULPT & SET is the ultimate fusion of gel and wax that helps to style your brows' A 'dupe' of: REFY Brow Sculpt Is it a dupe? Yes Our review: Take away the pink colour of the packaging and you have the spitting image of Brow Sculpt. I do really like the formula of this one too, it set my brows all day and didn't leave them flaky or crispy. Keeks Reid is the Beauty Director at Cosmopolitan UK.

Prime Video has an underrated sci-fi thriller I can't stop thinking about — and you'll be hooked, too
Some movies captivate me without any rhyme or reason. It's not always the one with the best ratings, either. When struggling to find something to watch one night, I came across "Arctic Void" after getting tired of all my usual options. Usually, I avoid films with abysmally low IMDb ratings, but the film's thumbnail image pulled me in to watch. It depicted an isolated boat cast out amid an icy tundra with looming dark clouds above; I couldn't help but give it a try. Directed and co-written by Darren Mann, and starring Michael Weaver, Tim Griffin, and Justin Huen, "Arctic Void" chronicles what happens after three men are left in the middle of a frigid nowhere after everyone else disappears from a seemingly unexplainable event. Although not without its flaws, "Arctic Void" is a slow-burn sci-fi thriller that held my attention and quickly became a personal favorite. And it's streaming now on Prime Video, so you can get hooked, too. "Arctic Void" begins with two best friends, Alan (Tim Griffin) and Ray (Michael Weaver), arriving on one of the Norwegian islands. The dynamics of their relationship are quite clear from the start: Ray's energy thrives on his fame as the star of their travel show, while Alan, his director and producer, battles a growing concern about their trip and, most of all, a desire to return to his family and work on his marriage. They arrive at a port to catch the boat that will take them on a tourist expedition into the Arctic. There, they meet their cameraman, Sean (Justin Huen), whom they've never worked with before. He's not the friendliest and is somewhat strange. Ray can't help but notice that he wears headphones linked up to an old-fashioned metal lunchbox. Curious, when Sean heads to the bathroom, Ray puts them on only to discover it's the sound of whales. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Except that's not the only weird thing. While their guide on the boat (played by the goofy and charming Rune Temte) engages the tourists, Ray and Alan notice the animals are acting odd. A seagull is seen without eyes, and a sea lion is spotted eating its young. Something is amiss, but everyone else on the boat seems to be fine. 30-day free trial for Amazon Prime! Why pay for Prime Video when it's included with Amazon Prime? Try it free for 30 days. And then something happens: An unexplainable, unknown event causes everyone on the boat, except for Ray, Alan, and Sean, to disappear. Confused and puzzled, the three make their way off the boat and venture into a nearby town. This is when the haunting nature of the film begins. No one is there, either. Slowly, pieces of the puzzle emerge. Alan starts to feel sick while Ray frantically searches for answers. More happened on that boat than a simple, unexplainable event. Amidst the cold tundra is a mystery that doesn't easily get explained. However, I loved the setting of this film and how it evolves into something that isn't entirely impossible. Tim Griffin does a good job of displaying his character's fear, especially as his health dwindles. While Justin Huen remains a character of mystery, Ray's evolution from being someone overly pompous to realizing his life isn't entirely untouchable. While this movie doesn't tie up all the loose ends, it's still a worthy sci-fi thriller. I've rewatched it several times since my first viewing and enjoy it every time. And I especially enjoy the music throughout, composed by Nick Donnelly, which adds to the spooky atmosphere.
