The weekend is finally here, meaning we can lie in, put our feet up with a brew and enjoy some much-deserved me time. For many people (our fashion and beauty writers included), that involves indulging in a bit of retail therapy. Instead of battling the snaking queues and overwhelming crowds of the town centre on a Saturday morning, it's much less stressful doing your shopping from the comfort of your own home and in your pyjamas.
And that's where we're here to help. Weekend Wishlist is carefully curated list by our fashion and beauty experts, Eve and Tiff, sharing with you the products they're coveting this week from Nobody's Child and Morphe to The Outset and Ella & Jo. Whether it's something they've tried, tested and loved, have spotted on their favourite A-lister or is something new that has just launched and needs to be shouted about.

Founded by Scarlett Johansson, who is on a mission to create clean formulas for sensitive skin, this Prep Serum has become the Hollywood icon's go-to skincare product.
Spending hours under strong lights in the studio left her skin feeling dry and her makeup ruined but she said the gentle yet nourishing of this Prep Serum has created a great canvas for her that, quoting her words, ‘does not pill under makeup’. It’s an all-in-one product that hydrates, boosts radiance, plumps out fine lines and wrinkles. With vegan collagen and a line-up of superfood extracts, it helps diminish hyper-pigmentation and age spots and boost radiance to improve dry, lacklustre skin.
You can get it at Cult Beauty here, £46. Molton Brown’s new Bluebell and Wild Strawberry EDP, £140, is an ode to the quiet, sensuous assault of spring. Created by senior perfumer Véronique Nyberg, the green notes of this fragrance set it apart from other floral, fruity scents, with galbanum and violet leaf bringing a rich “forest-like” facet to complement light and fresh bluebell and wild strawberry.
The scent is a unique yet refreshing, ideal for the upcoming spring season. The Bluebell and Wild Strawberry fragrance is also featured in Molton Brown’s bestselling Bath & Shower Gel and Body Lotion, as well as gift sets with prices starting from £18.

Now, the brand has tapped into a new category for taking out and about. Enter: the On The Go range, featuring two food containers, a hot drink flask and hydration bottles in two sizes. The insulated Hydration Bottles, available in 500ml (£35) and 1litre (£40), have two openings - a narrow one on top for easy sipping and a large one perfect for adding ice cubes, mint leaves or lemon slices. Coffee lovers can try the 350ml Travel Mug (£30) instead.
Also new in arrival is the stainless steel Lunch Box, £35, the rectangular shape is ideal for sandwiches or salad. The 3-in-1 design makes it suitable for preserving leftovers, storing ingredients, and taking food on the go. For those looking for something to store their morning porridge or hot soup, the double-walled, vacuum-insulated Food Flask, £35, is perfect to keep every drop tightly sealed inside.
Get your new Le Creuset here. Multi-purpose or hybrid makeup has been huge lately and I recently found this Morphe Love Bite Lip Stain that does not rub off easily. With three fruit scents to choose from - Berry Wild, Melon Nectar and Grape Kisser - the hydrating lippie gives lightweight, sheer-to-medium coverage with a stained effect.
I didn’t need to touch-up throughout the day as the colour stayed put even after my morning coffee and lunch. The formula isn't sticky either, but when it comes to removal, be sure to use a good cleanser on a cotton pad to get off any remaining residue.
Shop the Morphe Love Bite Lip Stain here. Since its Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Tinted Drops went viral and were approved by Sienna Miller, Glow Recipe has launched the Dewy Flush, a tinted cheek serum that is available in two shades - watermelon flush and berry flush.
These sheer, buildable tints are the perfect final step in a skincare routine, enhancing the skin's natural flush while letting its true radiance shine through. Similar to the Watermelon Glow family, the Dewy Flush gives a natural yet buildable colour.
Use as the last step of your skincare routine and dab a few dots onto each cheek, you can blend it with fingers or a sponge to achieve your desired flushed look.

I love a mirror that's got a little something about it - like this from Dunelm which is surrounded in a monochrome check mosaic border, adding a whole lot of character to a room with minimal effort.
