I'm impressed with the results, but now my entire room stinks of the stuff. If you're on a budget and want a tan for last-minute plans, I would say this is one to try.

I was left with a natural bronze hue rather than orange glow. My only qualm is that the tan seemed to stick to my dry patches and accentuated 'strawberry skin' on my legs. I'm still adding this tan to my arsenal though - the smell, colour and texture are dreamy."

Aldi launches £3.99 buy that will light up your garden for balmy summer nights – it will add style to a fence in no time
ALDI is launching a budget-friendly buy to elevate your garden this summer. The German retailer has a whole range of garden buys coming to stores this Sunday, and you won't want to miss out. 2 2 The Solar Light Bulbs will be in stores tomorrow and are the perfect buy for the garden. Not only will they give your fence an instant update, but they'll also come in handy during the evenings. Costing just £3.99 each, the bulb comes with a crocodile clip so it can be hung around the garden. The bulbs come in two different shapes and have 20 firefly LED lights inside to add a whimsical touch. It also comes with a flat base for use as a table lantern if you don't want to hang it. Of course, the lights are solar-powered so you won't have to worry about getting batteries for the lamp. Aldi bosses say: "Bring colour into your outdoor space with this Solar Iridescent Lightbulb." It's part of Aldi's wider push to offer low-cost garden essentials this season, with the budget supermarket regularly selling out of its Specialbuys aimed at outdoor living. Like with all Specialbuy items from the store it will only be available while stock lasts. So if you want to get your hands on the bulb, you'd best head to your local store tomorrow to stock up. Mrs Hinch raves about £2 Home Bargains buy that 'adds charm to your garden' & a £10 product that's 'cheaper than Amazon' More Garden Buys The budget-friendly retailer is also launching a budget-friendly gadget this weekend that promises to keep bugs and pests at bay throughout the warmer months. Available in stores across the UK from Sunday, June 8, the Zero In Bug Zapper Lantern is priced at just £7.99 — and it's already catching the attention of bargain hunters. The lantern kills nuisance flies and mosquitoes on contact, helping to create a bug-free zone ideal for BBQs, camping trips or even indoor use. It's designed for versatility, you can hang it up or stand it on any surface, and it works best in low-light conditions. The gadget also features four built-in LED lights and comes complete with a USB rechargeable battery pack and charging cable, making it easy to power up for evening use. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening on the patio or hosting friends and family for a garden gathering, this simple tool could make all the difference. Aldi says the lantern is 'perfect for outdoor living,' especially for those who want to enjoy summer evenings without being pestered by insects.

Ikea has launched a huge summer sale with bargains from 50p
IKEA has slashed prices in its huge summer sale - with some items scanning for as little as 50p. The retailer is offering hundreds of discounts on home essentials for a limited time only both online and in-store. Everything from soft furnishings to larger items such as wardrobes have been discounted, and free click-and-collect is also available. You can find your closest store by using the store locator on the website where you will also find the opening times. We spotted a Fejka artificial hanging potted plant that was reduced from £1 to 50p, a saving of 50% on the original price. Punters can make the same eye-popping saving for a sweet pea scented candle, a set of 15 cable ties and an eye-catching dish cloth. Customers can dig a little deeper into their pockets if they fancy a discounted mobile phone holder scanning for £1. A pack of two bamboo coasters are also selling for a quid, as is a smart black cable organiser bag. BRANCHING OUT It comes after IKEA opened its first hotel in Spain, on a very popular holiday island. Las Dunas de Santa Catalina Boutique House is a new two-star hotel owned by the interiors brand to open on Gran Canaria. Don't expect to see any of the iconic blue and yellow designs, however. The modern hotel, which has adult-only rooms, is more muted in its interiors. A small outdoor swimming pool is lined with sunloungers and overlooked by the hotel restaurant. And outdoor garden terrace is right by the restaurant as well, which serves breakfast. The only nod to the logo colours are in the bedroom, with some having blue or yellow bedspreads. Rooms range from double and triple rooms to ones that have pool or garden views. SHUT UP SHOP However, it's not all good news for fans of the Swedish conglomerate. The famous Swedish homewares retailer has confirmed the Plan and Order point at the Stockport Merseyway Shopping Centre will cease in just a fortnight's time on June 16. The store in Greater Manchester is a smaller outlet than its usual out-of-town locations and is focused on kitchen, bedroom and living room planning. The aim was to provide somewhere for customers to go to get advice and expertise on home furnishing and somewhere where they could design their ideal fittings and get individual 3D interior plans from the interior designers. According to IKEA, the decision to close the store permanently was made due to 'a result of valuable learnings' where the company recognised their customers wanted a different retail experience, more along the lines of Click and Collect and return services. While the Stockport branch will close for good, other Plan and Order points, such as the ones in Dundee, York and Hull, will be adapted to meet those new demands and also include a small range of home furnishing accessories to buy.
