I drove an hour & a half to the best shopping location EVER – I got the £30 Molly-Mae set & Charlotte Tilbury half price

IT'S getting harder and harder to find a good bargain these days.

So if you hear of somewhere packed with cut prices and amazing deals, it's worth travelling to.

And that's exactly what Bethany did, and she took to her TikTok page to share a video of her epic haul afterwards.

She explained she'd been told to get to North Weald Market for 8am, when it opens, so left her house at 6.30am - and was there for around three hours.

The first thing she managed to nab was the viral Molly-Mae lounge set - which retails for £30 on TikTok.

She opted for the button up ribbed cardigan and matching wide-legged trousers in grey, but added they had "so many colours", and they were just £15 a set.

The main reason Bethany wanted to go to the market was for the beauty and make-up stall she'd seen everyone rave about.

"And when I tell you they had SO much," Bethany admitted.

"They had Charlotte Tilbury, they had Elemis, they had Bobbi Brown, Made by Mitchell, P. Louise."

Bethany bought the Charlotte Tilbury, usually £65, for £35, and the Ouai hair mask for £15, as well as Benefit's Benetint in Pink Lemonade for £10 instead of £25.

She got a Charlotte Tilbury lipliner for £6, before moving onto the jewellery stand.

"When I tell you there was so much jewellery there, I could have spent hours... well I did spend hours looking at it!" she said.

I started off selling fruit and veg in a market - now I run a company at just 22

"I picked up two rings, but they had so many rings there, so many necklaces, bracelets, all of it.

"I then picked up the matching earrings to the ring, how stunning.

"There were so many, I could have spent so much money!"

Onto shoes, and Bethany bought a pair of sandals for £12.50, with her friend nabbing a pair too.

"There is so much stuff there and I can't wait for the summer stuff to come out because they will be going back for my summer holidays to Greece," she concluded.

"It was 100% worth the hour and a half drive."

What’s the best style that suits everyone?

ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes.

Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. 

First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. 

Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. 

Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. 

"The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. 

"I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don’t look shorter. 

"Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans.

"I know I’ll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I’m ready to go."

Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! 

"Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn’t exist any more.

"With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer."

"Best trip ever!" her friend commented on the video.

North Weald Market is held every Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday from 8am to 3pm at North Weald Airfield in Epping, Essex.
