It’s so pretty, feminine and easy to wear. The blue print is lovely and muted shades of blue and cream. The addition of gathers on the sleeves is a pretty addition. I bought the longer length as that’s how I prefer to wear it. True to size and flattering fit." A second fashion fan said: "Perfect T dress - brought for my daughters blue baby shower. Had the long length so perfect with converse/flats and of course my off white m and s cowboy boots. Lovely material and true to size - don’t miss out!!" Another raved: "Pretty dress for casual or smarter wear can be dressed up of down." Beauty deal of the week Beauty fans are raving over a tinted balm that soothes dry lips - and even
Margot Robbie is a fan. A nourishing tinted lip balm can be a good alternative to lipstick for those with cracked and sore lips. One that continues to be fan-favourite is the Burt's Bees Natural Tinted Lip Balm . Currently available to buy for just £6 on Amazon, this tinted lip balm has been praised for its "creamy" formula that "doesn't dry out your lips". It's not just our own handbag you can find the lip balm in, as Margot Robbie also keeps it in her handbag. The Barbie
Actress revealed to
British Vogue back in 2021 that the affordable beauty buy was inside her Chanel handbag. While the Oscar nominee didn't officially confirm the shade, it does look to be Pink Blossom . It's not the only time the A-lister revealed she was a fan of the high street lip balm . She once told Harper's Bazaar : "I don't like wearing lipstick because I get it all over my face, so I wear lip balm with a bit of a stain, like Burt's Bees or Fresh." If you're also not a fan of lipstick, then Margot Robbie's favourite lip balm is probably a good choice for you. Made with nourishing shea butter and botanical waxes, beauty fans say this balm "keeps lips moist for many hours after application". The balm does provide the lips with a hint of sheer pink which is ideal for anyone who wants a more natural look during the summer season. You don't have to go for the colour inside Margot Robbie's handbag, as the balm does come available in seven other shades . "Love this Burt's Bees balm. I suffer from dry lips so I'm totally addicted to this creamy, moisturising product. It gives a really nice amount of colour while not really covering up your lips (like a thicker lipstick would). It's a great look - so much so that I always now buy this product instead of lipstick. My other favourite colours in the range are Rose and Hibiscus." Beauty fans can purchase the Burt's Bees Natural Tinted Lip Balm from
Amazon for £6 here . While a fourth added: "A lovely material and it fits well. I ordered a long size as I am 4ft 8in , but the dress was much longer than I expected and really is "maxi". I kept it to wear as a maxi ….nice for cool Summer evenings." However, not all shoppers were impressed, as one "disappointed" shopper wrote: "Very disappointed with this dress. Lovely quality but not true to size. Very tight under bust. Peculiar shape from waist downwards as it hugs hips and legs. Not flattering. Tried 16 and 18 but had to return both." Shoppers can purchase the £39.50 Ditsy Floral Midaxi Tea Dress from the M&S website here . Another romantic choice for your summer wardrobe is this £27.99 Linen-Blend Midi Dress from H&M. This airy dress boasts a cute all-over blue floral print that will be perfect for casual sunny days. Don't miss the latest news from around
