Hands up if you’re ready for the bank holiday weekend, and another Trend Trove to read? Yeah, us too. Celebrating the last one of the year, we’re bringing you a bumper edition. Don’t say we don’t treat ya now!
As for the latest news you need to know? FKA twigs is set to headline the West Stage at All Points East this Sunday, August 23, joining RAYE for a powerhouse female-led line-up.
With a new album on the horizon and fresh off her summer tour, twigs’ appearance adds serious star power to a bill that includes Tyla, JADE, Jyoty and more.
Expect visionary artistry and a taste of her next era, ‘Afterglow’. Oh, and if you still need tickets to the other All Points East days, there’s still tickets left for tonight (Barry Can’t Swim), August 22 and Sunday (The Maccabees), August 25 here!
Now, collagen might be trending, but new research from Vital Proteins reveals most Brits still don’t know why they need it – or how to take it. Despite 84% recognising collagen, only 1 in 10 actually use it, with myths and confusion holding many back. Vital Proteins is on a mission to clear things up and make collagen a staple in everyday wellness. How good is that?
Talking of which, if you’re heading out this weekend, or planning an ‘end of summer’ soiree, Ricola and waterdrop® have teamed up to launch a fresh take on hydration with their new Drink Cubes – blending Swiss Alpine herbs with fruity, vitamin-packed flavours. From zesty Lemon Mint to soothing Verbena Citrus, each cube is sugar-free, sustainable and designed to boost your wellbeing. Launching on August 28, this collab is your cue to sip smarter and stay refreshed.
For those who love a post-dinner treat, Little Moons is back to sweeten snack time with its latest launch: Chocolate Fudge mochi bites. Packed with velvety vegan chocolate ice cream and chewy mochi dough, they’re gluten-free, just 70 calories each, and land in Tesco on September 8 for £5. Cosy night in, sorted.
Better yet? Dyson is levelling up your home wellness game with two new purifiers: the Hot+Cool HP1 and Humidify+Cool PH2 De-Nox. Combining cutting-edge filtration with sleek design, these launches reflect Dyson’s ongoing commitment to cleaner air, comfort and innovation.
Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, you’ll find a bunch of high street goodness that our shopping expert thinks you’ll love – and whack into your shopping basket quicker than Grease Lightening!
Happy shopping and bank holiday weekend one and all!

A skincare and make-up hybrid as this setting spray has been formulated with hyaluronic acid, French mineral water to hydrate the skin, white lily extract and ectoin to soothe and protect the skin barrier, as well as niacinamide to minimise pores. The spray projects like a very gentle mist, which is not irritating nor does it spoil the make-up.

L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Eye Bag Instant Eraser Eye Cream
Part of L’Oreal’s iconic Revitalift range, this product is ideal for anyone seeking a more refreshed under-eye area. Using a clean and dry finger, simply apply half a pea sized amount per under eye from the inner to the outer corner in a thin and even layer. It takes 15 minutes to fully dry and set – so try and keep your face relatively still while it works its magic. And while L’Oreal says that the formula can be worn under or over makeup, the latter seems to yield better results for most people.
