'Game changing' hair styler that 'can do it all' gets huge 70% price slash on Amazon
Shoppers will need to act fast, as the price deal is around for a limited time only. Drying and styling our hair used to be quite time-consuming. However, that's changed over the years, with a variety of multitasking tools that do both at the same time. One of them that has been branded a "game changer" in reviews is the Remington Wet2Straight Pro Hair Straightener, and it's currently enjoying a huge 70 per cent discount on Amazon. The online delivery firm has just dropped the price from £99.99 to just £29.99, saving £70 overall - but shoppers will need to act fast, as the deal will only be around for a "limited" amount of time. This nifty styling tool uses an advanced 'wet 2 straight' technology that allows beauty buffs to straighten and dry at the same time, but without the heat damage and frazzled ends. It combines an exclusive venting system that quickly removes and evaporates excess water, reducing styling time, while the moisture sensor straightens hair at the optimum temperature with three times more protection, leaving it "soft" and "shiny." Offering a fast heat-up time of just 15 seconds, it also boasts a dry mode for hair that needs a refresh on non-wash days, while a storage pouch comes in handy for keeping the straightener safe and secure, especially when travelling. The beauty market is packed with similar tools these days, and for those who don't mind paying a bit extra for a professional brand, the ghd Duet Styler has been reduced from £379 to £299. To keep prices a bit more affordable, we have spotted deals website Wowcher offering a voucher that will get shoppers the Airstrait Hair Straightener, which can be used on damp hair, for £69 instead of £169.99. Meanwhile, anyone looking to bag Amazon's limited deal on the Remington Straightener might be pleased to know that it boasts a 4.5 rating from shoppers who say it can "do it all" without excess heat damage. One five-star review read: "I'm in love. I used these to dry and curl my hair at the same time the other day. I was sceptical but, damn, they worked. "Definitely read the instructions as they have a wet and a dry mode. My hair feels great and they haven't caused any extra damage as my hair is bleached." Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. A second impressed shopper said: "Just what I was looking for, instead of having to blow dry then get straighteners ready, can do it all with this appliance." Someone else remarked: "This dryer/straightener is brilliant. So good it even gets rid of frizz, leaving straight shiny hair. I am disabled and struggle to hold dryers etc., not with this one. Very easy to use. Love it." A few shoppers have found that the straightener does not heat up as fast as advertised, as one three-star review read: "It does not heat up in 15 seconds as advertised, more like 3 minutes or longer." Although, someone else who praised the heat up time added: "I've tried a lot of different straighteners and nothing comes close to these ones, as sometimes if I couldn't be bothered to dry my hair I could still use them on my wet hair, and they heat up in seconds. I think these are better than the HDC ones by a mile."

'Spacious' Ryanair cabin bag 'perfect for a weekend stay' reduced in Antler sale
The luggage retailer has launched a summer sale with 40 percent off selected styles. Luggage doesn't always come cheap, particularly if you're keen on a luxury brand like Antler. However, for holidaymakers looking to upgrade their collection, the brand has launched a massive summer sale with an impressive 40 percent off selected styles. For those planning city breaks or shorter trips this year, Antler has cut the price of this Ryanair and easyJet approved cabin bag that fits neatly under your seat. The easyJet and Ryanair measurement approved Chelsea Overnight Bag in Taupe was originally priced at £140, but has been reduced to £112 for a limited time only. Fans of the bag have praised its numerous compartments and robustness, with a 'sleek' and 'minimal' aesthetic that slides easily over the handle of your cabin bag. It's water-resistant, made from durable nylon, with dimensions 41.5 x 26 x 18cm, reports the Liverpool Echo. Alternatively, Amazon is offering this ECOHUB Easyjet 30L Cabin Bag for £18.99 in six different colours that shoppers describe as a 'great travel bag for all airlines'. On the Antler website, the full product description reads: "Designed to be the perfect piece of hand luggage, our overnight bag will sit neatly under the seat in front of you on a plane, and has a back sleeve to slot over a suitcase handle. "It doubles up as an ideal gym bag and comes with a detachable shoulder strap (you'll find this inside a pocket on arrival). Inside, there are plenty of slip pockets including one for a laptop. This holdall is finished with premium leather details." The discounted bag has earned an impressive 4.8 out of 5 rating from customer reviews, with one delighted buyer commenting: "A good size bag that neatly fitted under the seat on my recent plane trip. "Spacious inside, the lighter colour lining is a bonus to help see the contents; nothing worse than rummaging around a dark bag! Useful slot on the outside fitted over my suitcase and made navigating around the airport a breeze. "Recommend this bag, don't hesitate to buy if you've got your eye on it!"

It's sleek, minimal and feels really well made. Fits more than I expected, perfect for a short trip or even a gym session. The handles are comfortable and it keeps its shape well even when full. One of the best travel bags I've owned. Looks premium too." A third customer remarked: "Great travel bag. Perfect for hand luggage or an overnight/weekend stay. Great casing and plenty of space inside without it being too big. Great colour, very sleek and smart." However, some reviews pointed out that the bag was 'smaller than they would've liked', so it's crucial to pay attention to the product dimensions. One customer expressed their thoughts saying: "Love it but wanted the weekender - but not available in taupe for some reason. Smaller than would have liked but still great." If this cabin bag appeals to you, it's available for purchase at £112. For those who prefer a more robust luggage option, the Stamford 2.0 cabin in midnight black, originally priced at £210, is now on offer for £168 in the sale. This case boasts Japanese wheels for a 'whisper-quiet' glide and measures 54.1 x 40.2 x 20 cm.

Thrifty beauty buffs are now raving about a fabulous dupe they've spotted at Home Bargains - and it's ideal if you're looking to save money this year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Home Bargains has stepped up its beauty game in the recent years - and this perfume has already become a hit amongst shoppers Credit: ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK 2 Unlike the affordable £2 perfume, the real deal by YSL will set you back more than £90 for a 50ml bottle Credit: YSL The popular discount retailer has stepped up its beauty game over the last few years - and its latest additions to the shelves are certainly not here to disappoint. According to fans of the mega store, you can now snap up a dupe of the posh YSL Black Opium, which has become a huge hit online and on the high street.

Black Opium is described by Yves Saint Laurent as a "captivating floral gourmand scent" with dark, roasted notes of coffee. So if you love the aroma but don't want to spend close to £100 on a perfume, this £2 version is perfect. With such an epic price difference, it comes as no wonder that the Home Bargains perfume has already taken the internet by storm.
