The popular beauty retailer Bath & Body Works recently sent fans into a frenzy with their Purrfect Pumpkin Gentle & Clean Foaming Hand Soap that’s received an impressive 4.7-star rating.

The scent is a must if you’re obsessed with autumn and a warming pumpkin spice latte – however, the hefty $7.95 price tag is not so nice.

Luckily, if you’re on the lookout for a more affordable skincare essential that won’t break the bank, the supermarket Walmart has just the pick for you.

Slashed from $1.28 to just $1.06, their Limited Edition Pumpkin Liquid Hand Soap is a whopping 80% cheaper than the posh version – so, it’s no wonder it’s been flying off the shelves.

The special fall and winter edition perfectly captures the warm, inviting scent of pumpkin, bringing a cozy and comforting aroma to you – and your home.

Inspired by the cozy spirit of the colder season, the soap’s 7.5 oz packaging recalls pumpkin patches nestled among colourful autumn leaves and winter frost.

What’s more, not only does the soap smell sensational, the bargain deal also effectively cleanses away bacteria, while its paraben-free formula helps skin retain natural moisture.

Ideal for use throughout your home, whether it’s your kitchen or bathroom, the $1.06 soap is the must-have addition to any space needing a seasonal touch. 

However, if you want smell like all things pumpkin spice latte, you will have to be quick, as the skincare essential is available for a limited time only.

To avoid any disappointment, Walmart shoppers are advised to stock up now to enjoy a little extra warmth and charm in their daily routine.

Similarly to its more high-end version, Walmart’s soap has won a 4.7-star rating, with a whopping 81% of customers giving it the maximum of five stars.

One delighted customer who described the bargain as ”perfect” said: ”Best deal. The scent is so sweet and not overpowering at all.

”Switched out my name brand for this for the fall. Already have all the other seasonal scents in my cart.”

Walmart stores closed in 2024

So far, Walmart has closed the following stores in 2024:

  • San Diego, California – February 9
  • El Cajon, California – February 9
  • Columbus, Ohio – February 16
  • West Covina, California – March 29
  • Towson, Maryland – April 5
  • Granite Bay, California – April 12
  • Milwaukee, Wisconsin – May 19
  • Fremont, California – May 24
  • Aurora, Colorado – June 7

Another agreed, adding: ”This pumpkin soap smells just as good as Bath & Body Works hand soaps.

”Bought more after my first initial purchase. Definitely give it a try, you won’t regret it!”

”Smells like pumpkin spice!” chimed in a third who said it was a ”great scent for the price”.

However, despite the rave reviews, there was also some criticism about the packaging.

Giving the product a measly one-star rating, one disappointment shopper said: ”I ordered two of these, and both were broken/the top would not “pop” open when you turn it.

”I had to pour the contents into an old soap holder.”

A second critic penned: ”Not worth a penny.. I’d throw it away even if it were free…no sent, no bubbles.”

She deserves the purse trend: Reason why people are hiding cash in baby products as a random act of kindness on TikTok

IT may seem that every time you scroll through TikTok there’s a new trend – this week it’s she deserves the purse.

But what is the online phenomenon that has amassed millions of views on the video platform? Here’s everything you need to know.

The she deserves the purse trend is aimed at helping struggling moms

What is the she deserves the purse trend?

The heartwarming TikTok trend has taken the internet by storm after one creator in the US showcased her random acts of kindness.

Tabitha Swatosh went viral after secretly inserting various amounts of cash inside baby items at a grocery store.

The aim is that a struggling mom will come across the item by chance and put it towards raising their kids.

In the famous clip, she said: “Today I’m going to be hiding money in different baby items depending on what they’re worth.

“For example, these diapers are $40 so I’m going to be hiding $40 into them”.

Tabitha then slipped in $50 into baby formula, taken aback by how pricey it was.

But she also opted to put money into affordable everyday essentials.

The trend often sees popular and privileged influencers like Tabitha take part – who said she was keen to “pay it forward”.

In another video explaining her motive she said: “When I was little, my parents divorced.

“They were single, young parents trying to raise three kids and my little brother wasn’t even one yet.”

Moms were quick to race to the comments to praise the TikToker for her kind gesture.

One said: “To the creators who do this & don’t film, you too are seen.

“To those share their good works, regardless, may these parents be blessed plentiful & financial burden be aided.”

Another grateful viewer added: “As a mom that has struggled, I PRAY to be able to do this one day.”

But one said: “I hope that some person who sees these videos won’t go into the aisles looking for this stuff”.

And a different user added: “This is so sweet and thank you! But as a mom I get leery when I see money bills because of them possibly being laced with something.”

The ‘optical illusion’ trend celebs like Molly-Mae and Rihanna are loving in autumn – you can recreate with £11 ASOS buy

IF Hollywood movies are anything to go by, kids get bullied at school for wearing glasses. 

But a whole host of celebrities are making specs stylish this autumn – even ones who DON’T need them to see.

From Bella Hadid rocking a pair on the YSL runway at Paris Fashion Week to Molly-Mae Hague pairing some with her new fashion line yesterday, glasses are slowly becoming chic. 

It’s been a long road, though. 

Back in the Nineties and Noughties, glasses were associated with being nerdy. 

Particularly for school kids, a pair of specs on your face made you stand out as “different”. 

Now, getting optical is a style statement.

Social norms have been broken down and the boundaries of fashion have been pushed, meaning those of us with bad eyesight can breathe a sigh of relief. 

Not only is our poor vision trendy, but it’s something celebs are somewhat celebrating through fashion. 

Molly-Mae, 25, took to Instagram yesterday from the streets of Paris in a pair of clear lens aviators.

The ASOS DESIGN Clear Lens Aviator Glasses with Blue Light Lens are currently just £11.20 in the e-retail giant’s sale. 

Fans were quick to beg the mum-of-one and owner of Maebe for a link to buy themselves a pair. 

“Oh my god, you with the glasses,” Monie Newton gushed in the comments section. 

“Molly-Mae, you so suit wearing glasses,” Clare Caffery added. 

Supermodel Bella Hadid, 27, has regularly been pictured in clear lens glasses.

And if her recent runway appearances are anything to go by, she’s keeping the geek chic trend going this autumn.

Similarly, Chelsea Lazkani from Netflix’s hit show Selling Sunset is a proud glasses wearer. 

The 31-year-old has a range of speccy styles that she rocks on-and-off the programme, including classic “nerd” shapes with thin rectangular lenses and barely-there rims. 

Chelsea’s fans regularly describe her as “sex on legs” in her Instagram comments, proving that nerdy can be attractive too. 

Another spec-lover is singer and beauty mogul Rihanna.

Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends

WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up...

Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024. 

BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.

But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles. 

TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.

They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive. 

BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn. 

The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.

LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like. 

Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.

LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.

It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend. 

The Rude Boy singer posed up on the streets of New York in a clear-framed pair earlier this month. 

Luxury fashion houses like Gucci, Prada and Tom Ford have been dipping their toes into the clear lens eyewear world for decades. 

It was inevitable the style of luxury shoppers would trickle down to the high street at some point. 

Now, you can nab clear lens glasses anywhere from Primark and Poundland to PrettyLittleThing and ASOS. 

So, the next time you’re tempted to pop in your contacts, maybe think twice. 

Your glasses could be the best way to see the world… and for the world to see you.

This is why Rachel Lester is a TikTok singing sensation years after her sweary X Factor contestant audition

RACHEL Lester is a Welsh singer who had one of the most famous X Factor auditions of all time.

The singer told Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue that they were  “f***ing s***” in an appearance that has now gone viral on TikTok.

Fans have been using audio from her 2007 audition to make jokes about their own lives.

Here’s everything you need to know about Rachel Lester.

Who is Rachel Lester?

Rachel was born on May 1, 1997, and grew up in Wales.

She started singing from a young age and had big ambitions of becoming a singer.

The welsh artist told the X Factor judges that she had been “singing all my life, all round the towns and everything”.

Not much is known about her employment history, but she did tell the X Factor judges that she was doing “nothing” and that she was “lazy at the moment”.

What happened in Rachel Lester’s X Factor audition?

Rachel’s audition has become one of the most famous in X Factor history.

From the moment she entered the room, she left quite an impression with her wide-eyed stare which has been imitated often online.

She sang “Sugar Walls” by Sheree Easton and rated her own performance a 10 out of 10.

Rachel also told the judges, one of which was Dannii Minogue, that she could sing like her sister Kylie and that she was better than the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna.

Sadly, the judges didn’t agree with Rachel’s 10/10 assessment and decided to send her home, though Rachel found time to get into one more spat with the judges.

She said that the judges “lick each other’s f*****g arses, all to get where you want to f*****g be”.

Since her appearance on X Factor, Rachel has not yet hit the big time in music but numerous accusations have been levelled against the show by ex-contestants.

The most famous of which is Zoe Alexander, who got into an infamous fight with the judges over whether she should sing one of P!NK’s songs.

Why is Rachel Lester’s X Factor audition going viral on TikTok?

Many TikTok users who remember Rachel’s audition on the fourth series of the X Factor have begun to recreate her audition.

Often, quotes and pieces of music are repurposed to make jokes and Rachel’s now iconic “nothing I’m lazy at the moment” is no exception.

Users are using the quote to make jokes about their own unemployment or desire for a life of leisure.

Rachel has yet to comment on the trend, but has acquired a legion of fans wishing her the best.

What has Simon Cowell said about Rachel Lester’s audition?

Simon described Rachel’s appearance on the show as as the X Factor’s “worst audition”.

He, and the other judges, gave Rachel a firm “no” when asked if she should move forward with the show.

The X Factor is no longer on the air and Simon has yet to comment on the viral TikTok trend honouring Rachel’s TV appearance.

How Israel is wiping out Hezbollah leadership one-by-one as terror boss Hassan Nasrallah ‘hides in 50ft deep bunker’

ISRAELI forces are wiping out Hezbollah’s chain of command from the ground up as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to double-down on the terrorists with “full force”.

As Israel rejected a 21-day ceasefire plan, the possibility of all-out war looms large, turning southern Lebanon into a “death zone”.

Hundreds of people have this week been killed and half a million forced to flee their homes as Israel has pummelled areas of southern Lebanon used by Hezbollah with airstrikes.

And over the past 11 months, Israel eliminated nearly all of the terror group’s leadership, leaving Hassan Nasrallah alone at the top as he is reportedly hidden in a 50ft deep bunker.

Under Nasrallah, Hezbollah has earned political legitimacy in Lebanon while also engaged in operations that threaten regional stability.

According to IDF reports, his public statements have been marked by extreme anti-Semitism, including saying: “What do the Jews want? They want security and money.

“Throughout history the Jews have been Allah’s most cowardly and avaricious creatures.”

The terror boss is said to present his speeches hidden in bunkers, one of which believed to be 50ft below one of Hezbollah’s headquarters, Saw Beirut reports.

The Hezbollah Secretary General has been living underground for almost five years now.

A fugitive who fears for his life and is loyal to his Iranian backers, he remains deep within the soil that he claims to have reclaimed from the Israelis.

And except for a few bodyguards, no one knows where he is.

But Nasrallah’s days in hiding could be coming closer to an end, as IDF troops have been not only wiping out Hamas bosses but swiftly targeting his own men – one by one.

WIPING OUT TERROR

An attack on Monday night in Beirut targeted Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki, raising questions about whether the senior terror leader had been killed in the strike.

After security officials confirmed that Karaki was the target of the strike, Hezbollah released a statement on Monday night stating that Karaki was “fine and, God willing, in full health and wellness and has moved to a safe place.”

The IDF said it will soon release more information on the “targeted strike”.

It was the fourth in Beirut since Hezbollah-led forces started assaulting Israeli settlements and border military installations almost every day on October 8 in support of Hamas during the war in Gaza.

Last Friday, Hezbollah was in chaos after losing two kingpins and 14 commanders in an IDF strike.

Ibrahim Aqil – a terror master on the US most wanted list for 40 years with a $7 million (£526 million) price on his head – was the biggest scalp claimed in the IDF blast on southern Beirut.

Aqil was regarded as the second in command of the Lebanese terror group.

Hezbollah later confirmed Ahmed Wahabi, commander of its elite Radwan Force, had also been killed.

Wahabi was the head of the terror group’s “central training unit,” and was previously top brass in the elite Radwan Force which fought in Syria.

The IDF said after Friday’s strike: “These commanders had been leading and planning the Radwan Force’s attack and infiltration plan into Israeli territory for years, to be executed when given the order.

“Aqil and the commanders eliminated in the strike were responsible for planning, advancing, and executing hundreds of terrorist operations against Israel, including the planning of Hezbollah’s murderous scheme to raid the communities of the Galilee.”

Karaki and senior officer Talal Hamiya were named to take Aqil’s position.

Karaki was a member of the Jihad Council, the highest military council inside Hezbollah, and headed the terror group’s so-called “Southern Front,” which was in charge of its military operations in south Lebanon.

Abu Ali Rida, the leader of the Bader regional division, Taleb Abdullah, the commander of the Nasr regional division, and Muhammad Nasser, the commander of the Aziz regional division, all worked under Karaki.

Both Abdullah and Nasser were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, in June 11 and July 3, respectively, reports The Times of Israel.

And on July 30, the IDF wiped out Hezbollah’s top commander, Fuad Shukr, who Israel said was responsible for a deadly rocket attack on Golan Heights that killed 12 children.

Shukr, identified by the IDF as Nasrallah’s right-hand man, has been one of Hezbollah’s key military officials since the organisation was founded by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards over four decades ago.

The United States sanctioned Shukr in 2015, accusing him of playing a key part in the 1983 bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut.

On July 31, just a few hours after the Shukr attack, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was slain in a Tehran guesthouse, prompting threats of vengeance from the Palestinian terror group and its Iranian sponsors. Israel has not claimed responsibility for Haniyeh’s killing.

Israel also assassinated Hamas military wing chief Muhammad Deif in an attack in Khan Younis, Gaza, on July 13, and Deputy Hamas chief Saleh al-Arouri in a hit in Beirut on January 2nd.

Separately, on January 8, a strike blamed on Israel reportedly claimed the life of Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy commander of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s chain of command might be getting eliminated from the ground up, but the terror group’s fighters could still hold some advantage as it might lure Israeli troops into a deadly killing zone.

INTO THE FURNACE

Hidden beneath the villages and rocky hills of southern Lebanon lies Hezbollah’s terror lair – a labyrinth of terror tunnels for miles on end, which is home to a deadly arsenal of missiles.

Inside their underground missile city, Hezbollah fighters can move unseen, store weapons, and launch ambushes, creating a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Estimates place its army in the tens of thousands, and it is believed to possess about 150,000 rockets and missiles of all kinds, The Times reports.

But Hezbollah’s real objective is far more sinister.

The tunnels are designed to pull Israel’s military into a carefully constructed “fire trap,” a zone of devastation where every step forward risks disaster.

With thousands of fighters entrenched in these positions, Hezbollah aims to turn southern Lebanon into a battlefield where Israel’s technological and military dominance could be blunted by the challenges of underground and urban warfare.

This is what Hezbollah refers to as the “fire trap”.

As Israeli forces advance, they’re drawn deeper into unfamiliar and hostile territory.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah fighters are hidden underground, awaiting with advanced weaponry — from precision-guided missiles to lethal anti-tank rockets.

The IDF's Analysis of Hezbollah

by Juliana Cruz Lima, Foreign News Reporter

AN analysis by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that Hezbollah, under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah, has evolved into a well-armed terrorist organisation, presenting a significant threat to Israeli security.

With strong backing from Iran, Hezbollah’s military capabilities and strategic positioning in Lebanon continue to shape the region’s security dynamics.

Military Strength and Sophisticated Armaments: The IDF assesses that Hezbollah maintains a robust military force with 20,000-25,000 full-time fighters, supported by tens of thousands of reserves.

The organisation’s elite Radwan Unit, trained and equipped by Iran’s Quds Force, is noted for its expertise in conducting operations against Israel, including potential incursions into Israeli territory.

Hezbollah’s vast arsenal consists of over 150,000 rockets and missiles, making it one of the most heavily armed non-state actors globally.

Its weaponry, including Iranian-made Fajr-5 and Zelzal-2 rockets, has the capability to strike deep into Israeli territory, posing a direct and immediate threat. 

Advanced Warfare Capabilities: The IDF highlights Hezbollah’s advancements in modern warfare, facilitated by Iranian support.

This includes access to advanced anti-ship missiles, anti-tank weapons, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Hezbollah’s ability to target Israeli naval assets was demonstrated during the 2006 conflict, where it effectively used anti-ship missiles.

The organisation’s UAV capabilities, with ranges up to 400 km, are seen as a growing threat to Israeli airspace and ground operations.

Hassan Nasrallah’s Leadership and Strategy: The IDF acknowledges that Nasrallah has been central to Hezbollah’s development from a militia into a hybrid political-military organization.

Since taking leadership in 1992, Nasrallah has focused on expanding Hezbollah’s rocket arsenal and enhancing its military capabilities.

His extremist ideology, particularly his anti-Semitic rhetoric, reinforces Hezbollah’s hostility towards Israel, while his leadership from hiding underlines the constant threat he poses despite his physical absence from public life.

Major Hezbollah Attacks: Hezbollah has been involved in numerous high-profile terrorist attacks, many of which have targeted Israel and Western interests. 

The IDF emphasises that, until 9/11, Hezbollah was responsible for more American deaths than any other terrorist organisation.

It is widely recognised as a global terrorist entity by many nations, including the U.S., the UK, Canada, and Israel.

Hezbollah’s Role in Lebanon’s Crisis: Lebanon’s ongoing economic collapse and political instability have created an environment in which Hezbollah wields disproportionate power.

The IDF warns that Hezbollah’s control and influence over Lebanon’s institutions and its military activities continue to threaten regional stability.

Israel-Hezbollah Conflict: The IDF provides a detailed account of Hezbollah’s ongoing military engagement with Israel, most notably during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.

The conflict, sparked by a Hezbollah attack on Israeli soldiers, resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Hezbollah fighters and significant destruction in Lebanon.

Despite this, Hezbollah has since rebuilt its forces and amassed a larger, more sophisticated arsenal, positioning itself as perhaps the most formidable terrorist organisation in the world.

Conclusion: The IDF concludes that Hezbollah, under Nasrallah’s leadership and backed by Iran, represents a major threat to regional security.

Its advanced military capabilities, particularly its extensive rocket and missile arsenal, coupled with its ideological commitment to attacking Israel, make it a key destabilising force in the Middle East.

As Lebanon faces severe internal challenges, Hezbollah’s role will likely continue to influence the region’s security landscape.
