I've owned at least a dozen different types of car phone mounts and was constantly frustrated with how they always felt compromised in at least one way until I'd get so frustrated I'd buy another low-priced, non-branded option. I finally decided to see what a bit more money can buy, and hot dang, this thing just works! Its stable, holds tight to my vent without damaging it, is easy to release, and even easier to clamp down. It also includes a handy magnetized cord tip to keep the cord stored behind the charger. My only regret is not going for a branded option sooner. Just buy it." —AnonymousPrice: $17.99 (originally $24.99) A waterproof pouch your phone thanks you for in advance because it does *not* wish to engage directly in water adventures on your travels, but it does want to still tag along from a safe, dry pouch that still allows you to take photos and use the touchscreen.

Promising reviews: "A noise-cancelling marvel. I purchased these specifically for their noise-canceling capabilities. I have tried seemingly endless options. The sound quality is not something I can really speak to, as I am not an audiophile. However, I purchased these as a last-ditch effort to get a good night's sleep. The proof is in the full night's sleep. I am sold. It masked my partner's snoring and the TV being blasted. It couldn't fully mask my dog's barking. I would say about 80%. If you need noise-canceling, get these." —Lena B"I spent a lot of time researching the best headphones and finally chose the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. I'm so glad I did — they're perfect in every way!" —OliviaPrice: $449.99 (available in five colors)

These 4 high street perfumes from H&M smell surprisingly expensive - starting from £8.99
Ok, I'll say it: I am a fragrance snob. It's the only area of my beauty routine I've ever been a bit snooty about. Good skincare on the high street isn't exactly in short supply (Byoma, CeraVe, The INKEY List… ILY), and makeup is only getting better too (if you haven't tried E.l.f's new blush tints yet, do). Don't get me wrong, there are some delicious perfumes sitting in the middle ground - take Cosmo favourite Floral Street, for example - but I just didn't think high street perfume had caught up yet. It was actually one of my favourite fashion brands that proved me wrong: H&M. Wanting to dip my toe into some gourmand fragrances without forking out a fortune, I found Posh Pistachio. At £9.99, it wasn't a mammoth investment if I didn't like it, right? Thankfully, I need not have worried. Now fully on board - and surprised at its brilliant quality, TBH - I did some digging. I found that H&M produces their fragrances at a manufacturer called DSM-Firmenich. Chances are that the name will mean nothing to you, but here's the thing: they employ some of the world's best 'noses' to create luxe perfumes from brands that you'll have definitely sniffed - and loved - before. With that, I made it my mission to explore some of H&M's most loved fragrances. The results were so surprising, that they might have just changed my view on high street fragrances forever.

The new Boots skincare range starts at £4.50. But is it any good?
There was a time when pricier skincare may have meant better skincare, and more potent ingredients. If you wanted clever science and a cream that delivered results besides basic hydration, for example, you'd be hard pressed to find anything good on the high street. That has changed in the past decade: there are excellent brands from The Ordinary to Byoma that keep their pricing affordable and formulas science-driven. It was only a matter of time before Boots created a range more focused on results than its cheap and cheerful existing own-brand offering. It's called Modern Chemistry, a nod to the fact that Boots has a long history as a chemist, and has just launched (following a range of supplements under the same umbrella, brought out in May). The line-up is almost entirely based on insights from Boots' 17 million Advantage Card users, too (more than 10 million of those customers have shopped skincare at Boots over the past 12 months). The range includes everything from cleanser to moisturiser, with all of it priced between £4.50 and £15. I've been the first journalist to trial the products over the past month, and I'm impressed by the quality of the formulas, the luxury feel of the textures and the smart (if a little boring) packaging. It gives good bang for your buck. Sea Buckthorn Oil / Vitamin E Cleansing Balm, £15, Boots While cleansers are often seen as a basic addition in a skincare range, I think the Modern Chemistry version is one of the stars. In its research, Boots found that eight of its 10 top-selling skincare items in-store and online are cleansers. Granted, three of those eight products are the store's own-brand wipes, but sales of cleansing balms are on the up, too. I've been able to try a lot of luxury cleansing balms over recent years, and Boots' £15 option rivals the ones that cost two or three (or, in some cases, four!) times more. Formulated using the antioxidant- and omega-fatty-acid-rich sea buckthorn oil and moisturising vitamin E, it's excellent for skin that is prone to feeling dry or flaky. The data also showed that the bestselling moisturisers at Boots all focused on repairing the skin barrier (these include my own favourite, Cicaplast Baume B5+ by La Roche-Posay and the brilliant Moisturising Lotion by CeraVe). So they made their own: the new Modern Chemistry Restore Moisturiser, with Korean-skincare-inspired rice extract, feels lightweight yet nourishing. It's a purse-friendly £13 a pot. The Glow Eye Cream, also £13, is a good option for mid-life skin. It contains caffeine to counteract puffiness and light-reflecting particles to disguise the look of dark circles (although, if you are concerned about dark circles, this won't do the heavy lifting that a concealer would do in terms of coverage). Glow Eye Cream, £13, Boots Now, let's look at the mask. Sheet masks now far outsell the cream and mud versions of years gone by (that will be the influence of skincare trends from Japan and South Korea again), and have seen a nine-per-cent spike in interest from Boots customers in the past year. While I must admit I'm too lazy to apply a sheet mask regularly, the Modern Chemistry £4.50 Restore Hydrogel Mask – created in collaboration with Korean chemists – is a good choice if you're looking for a speedy skin pick-me-up. The advice is to leave it on for a minimum of 30 minutes, which I tried, and my skin did indeed feel very moisturised and soft when I removed it. Restore Hydrogel Mask, £4.50, Boots I wouldn't ever say that you need to use everything from one brand – it's much better to cherry-pick the products that work for you from a selection of ranges – but if you are in the market for one or two new products at an affordable price, do check out Modern Chemistry. I for one will be stocking up on the balm cleanser and eye cream. Three more favourites

Cooling eye gel praised for making eyes ‘brighter and less puffy' in 30 seconds
Everything from hayfever to late nights spent dancing at festivals can leave you with puffy, tired eyes during summer, but this eye gel is said to improve them in 30 seconds Summer is all about making the most of the light evenings and sunny weather, which can often mean we're out late, up early, and spending plenty of time outdoors where hayfever and pollen are rife. All that can lead to puffy, tired and itchy eyes, not to mention a dark circle or two. However the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel promises to be an almost instant solution to all of that, with some shoppers saying it worked in under a minute. One glowing review of the eye gel said: 'I was skeptical but I have been a customer for 5 years with Tata Harper so I trust her products. Wow! It works, I woke up with puffy eyes and I used this nice cooling eye gel and in 30 seconds I saw my eyes brighter, less puffy and glowing the ingredients in this tube does its magic. Solution is consistent and I use it morning and night. I'm happy with this Eye gel.' The Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel (£72) is packed full of skin-loving ingredients which help to restore the moisture and hydration to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it hydrated, plump and glowing. It contains kakadu plum and vitamin C which help to brighten up the area, as well as avocado which helps reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles. You'll also find a green coffee bean complex, which acts as a source of caffeine to boost the eye gel's effect and prevent tired looking eyes. It has a lightweight gel to cream formula which is cooling and soothing under your eyes, something which is only improved by the cooling metal applicator tip, which helps to de-puff your under-eye area quickly. Considering some reviewers saw results in 30 seconds, it's safe to say this is a beauty bag staple to take with you whether you're travelling, heading off to a festival, or just know you've got a late night in the sunshine planned. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal is £15 for a 30ml tube. It promises to visibly smooth and firm the skin around your eyes with a gentle formula, and is a great way for beginners to introduce retinal into their beauty routine. Alternatively the De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel from Byoma is £13 for 20ml and helps to cool and de-puff your skin whilst also reducing dark circles. However it's the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel that Space NK shoppers have been praising, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 star rating. One wrote: 'This is an excellent product! I've noticed a significant reduction in puffiness around my eyes, and they definitely look brighter. I highly recommend it!' One did comment: 'Love this product! My only critique is that the formula is a bit too thin for the applicator – when you squeeze it too much comes out at once, which leads to wasting product. A slightly thicker consistency or a more controlled dispenser could make a big difference.' Others however raved about it, saying: 'Perfect for new moms with dark circles from lack of sleep! Helps put a little pep back in your eyes.'

This is the best budget anti-ageing cream, according to our reviews
Proving that premium-quality beauty doesn't have to cost a bomb, plenty of brands have made it their USP to deliver efficacious skincare at a sub-£20 price – think CeraVe, Byoma, The Ordinary and Weleda. Arriving on the scene in 2018 and impressing beauty editors time and time again, The Inkey List is known for its monochrome minimalist packaging and fast-acting formulas. Aiming to simplify overcomplicated skincare regimes, the brand's products span eye creams (see its cult caffeine formula), serums, moisturisers and even haircare (its scalp treatment is a bestseller). When it comes to anti-ageing, the brand is at the top of its game with its roster of affordable retinol serums, plumping collagen formulas and oat cleansing balms – but it's the bio-active ceramide repairing and plumping moisturiser that steals the show. Securing a spot in our review of the best anti-ageing creams, the formula was hailed as the best budget buy by our critic. Nourishing and firming, the moisturiser strengthens the skin's barrier to minimise the look of common signs of ageing (fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone). Packed with skincare benefits and costing less than £20, here's why The Inkey List's repairing and plumping moisturiser deserves a spot in your own bathroom cabinet. 'The Inkey List's latest anti-ageing cream ticks all the boxes of another buzz-worthy product from the accessible beauty brand,' wrote our beauty critic. Boasting next-generation bio-active ceramides as the leading ingredient, its hardworking formula aims to strengthen the skin barrier through multiple layers. 'For instant gratification, the beautifully rich and creamy texture is also infused with gransil blur, which delivers a soft-focus effect – 'blurring' fine lines and imperfection,' they added. After just a month's use, their complexion felt 'smoother, well-nourished and firmer to the touch'. Plus, the formula is suitable and effective on all skin types, and it can be used as a night cream, too. Tick, tick, tick.
