Best deals for a weekend 'treat yourself' moment
1/15
Isabel Marant Raffia Tote Bag
© Isabel Marant"I had to look twice with the price of this bag. Really?! On sale in the height of summer? Well, I never! The Isabel Marant 'Cadix' tote is sure to become one of your favourite warm-weather accessories."
Recommended by Leanne Bayley, Director of Lifestyle & Commerce.
2/15
Selected Femme Anelli Off-The-Shoulder Maxi Dress
"I've been after a red summer dress for months, and I think I've found the dream. The lightweight cotton is ideal for this heatwave, and I love the off-shoulder design - but with the slim straps, you can still wear a bra too."
Recommended by Carla Challis, Commerce Partnerships Editor
3/15
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser
"Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish is my favourite luxury cleanser. It has a creamy formula that's hydrating and easily removes every scrap of makeup (including stubborn mascara), while leaving my skin feeling super soft. Right now you can get £10 off when you purchase this at Boots."
Recommended by Hollie Brotherton, Lifestyle & Commerce Senior Writer.

Ultty Bladeless Fan with Air Purifier
"If you’ve been suffering from the heatwave and also want to be ready for the next one, you’ll want to pick up an easy-to-store fan. I spotted the inexpensive bladeless fan that shoppers swear is as good as a Dyson in the Amazon sale - it’s 6% off PLUS there’s a £50 off voucher, just tick the box and add to basket and you’ll see the new price at checkout. The deal ends on 4 August 2024, though, so hurry if you want the discount!"
Recommended by Karen Silas, Senior Lifestyle Editor.

Kayali Vacay in a Bottle Miniature Set
© Kayali"It's not often a new launch goes on sale, but there's a discount right now on the Kayali Vacay in a Bottle collection. This is the perfect travel-friendly set featuring gorgeous 10ml deluxe miniature bottles! Wear them alone or layer together to discover your own signature scent combination."
Recommended by Leanne.

Karen Millen Beach Viscose Georgette Premium Embroidery Tunic
© Karen Millen"The Karen Millen sale is exceptional right now. I'm seeing stunning red carpet worthy dresses, but I'm also swooning over the beachwear. I'm heading to the beach soon so I'm thinking this kaftan could be spot on for what I'm after."
Recommended by Leanne.
7/15
Away That Day Acapulco Bikini
"Away That Day has an amazing sale on right now, so if you're heading on holiday and shopping for swimwear, run don't walk! My first purchase is the Acapulco bikini top in emerald green (I love a bandeau style), which I'll pair with the Fiji bottoms."
Recommended by Hollie.
8/15
CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin
© CeraVe"The whole team have jumped on the CeraVe bandwagon at some point in their lives - it's an industry favourite for a reason.
It's a god-send if you have sensitive skin. It's lightweight but somehow feels so nourishing and your skin feels better than ever. If you don't believe me, read the reviews. This one speaks volumes: "After incorporating CeraVe Moisturising Cream into my daily skincare routine, I am compelled to award it a well-deserved 5-star review for its exceptional performance in tackling dry skin.
The cream's effectiveness lies in its unique formula. Enriched with essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it not only moisturizes the skin but also helps in retaining its natural moisture. From the first application, I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture. It felt softer, smoother, and more hydrated without any greasy residue."
Recommended by Katherine Robinson, Senior Lifestyle Editor.
9/15
John Lewis Rye Garden Hanging Seat
"I'm going to let you into a little secret - I still don't own an egg chair. Yep, I know, WILD! They are the garden accessory everyone is obsessed with. But maybe this one would be the perfect investment - especially at this price."
Recommended by Leanne.
10/15
Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sun Cream Lotion
© Sun Bum"This is the best sun cream for me, hands down. I relied on it throughout my summer holiday last year, and didn't burn once - plus the smell is incredible, all coconuty and tropical. So even if the only place I'm in the sun this year is the local park, I'll at least smell like I'm on my holidays."
Recommended by Carla.
11/15
Ninja Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven
© Ninja"Ok, I didn't have this on my bingo card but I've been perusing the Amazon summer sale and this Ninja Woodfire Oven stood out at me. First of all, it doubles as a pizza oven, and second of all, I'm hoping nice weather is on the horizon and cooking outside will be the norm."
Recommended by Leanne.
12/15
Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
© Shark"We've written about Shark a lot at HELLO! All the celebs rave about their Shark Vacuum - Mrs Hinch is a big fan, as is her BFF Stacey Solomon. But don't buy one if there's not a sale on. Luckily, if you're in the market for a new cordless vacuum, this one is heavily discounted.
I bought a Shark Anti Hair Wrap cordless vacuum about two years ago after researching Shark hoovers for work and seeing that HELLO! readers (and Mrs Hinch) love them! I'm now a fan, too. It's lightweight, you can separate the battery to charge it so you don't have to plug in the whole vacuum, it has amazing suction power on both wood floors and carpet, and I absolutely love the easy-to-detach handheld vacuum."
Recommended by Karen.

Lisbon 3 Seater Garden Sofa - Natural
© Dusk"Ok, I had to rub my eyes when I saw the deals on almost EVERYTHING at Dusk - including the garden furniture. Wow! I have my eye on this 3-seater garden sofa from the Lisbon collection in natural. Swoon."
Recommended by Leanne.
14/15
& Other Stories Crystal-Embellished Ballet Flats
"A pair of fancy flats are a summer essential. I've had my eye on these crystal-embellished ballet pumps from & Other Stories and they've just dropped in the sale with 44% off! The Mary Jane flats are made from glossy satin and topped with cascading faux pearls and shimmering crystals. The best bit is you could definitely wear these through to party season."
Recommended by Hollie.
15/15
Zara Chilli Oil Candle
© Zara"I'm really trying hard to ignore the Zara sale because when I go on the site and start shopping, well, hocus pocus I'm broke(us). I've had my eye on this chilli oil candle for ages because I'm the number one chilli oil fan. It's so random but that's why I love it."
