And shoppers have been racing to the tills to get their hands on some of the pieces.

Some have even gone viral, either as dupes for more expensive products or for their incredible durability, style and features.
Over the last couple of months, shoppers have been very impressed by their activewear range, with many of the pieces going viral.
One of the most impressive pieces was the leggings in their activewear range, which sold out very quickly.
Now, the retailer has brought out more of their famous Contour Leggings.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at the stunning piece.
TikTok user Rhianna Bolton shared a video to the platform for her followers.
At the beginning of the video, she can be seen holding up a large Dunnes Stores shopping bag.
She said: “I got my leggings from there yesterday — these were €15 and are contour leggings.
“They really really cinch you in, they’re so flattering and really soft.
“I really like them.”
She explains that the only thing she doesn’t like about them is the length at the ankles, adding that she just folds them up.
In the haul, she picked up a sportswear top to match the leggings.
She also picked up two bikinis for her holidays.
The Contour Leggings are a complete bargain, costing just €15.
They are available in a range of two colours including black and khaki.
The leggings are available in sizes XS to XXL.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion bosses wrote: “Contour is a buttery soft fabric, with medium compression that feels like a gentle hug.
“With a v-shaped waistband and a curved hem detail, these 7/8 length leggings offer a supportive, slimming silhouette that is made to move with you.
“Ultra-flattering, super soft, and quick drying, these leggings feature four-way stretch and moisture management technology to help you stay cool while you work out.
“Matching jacket sold separately.”
The leggings are set to fly off the shelves, so shoppers are being urged to grab them quickly.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

3 hours agoNews 1Comments Off on British Gas is giving people free hot water as part of major new trial to slash bills
BRITISH Gas is trialling a new way to pump homes with hot water, which could drastically cut down household bills.
The energy giant, which powers about 7 million homes in the UK, is using the leftover energy from computer servers to heat water.
GettyBoth companies will be trialling this new method on 10 British Gas customers over the next three months.[/caption]
CentricaThese units process Heata’s cloud computing workloads, while providing free hot water without using any gas[/caption]
Computer servers can generate a lot of warmth.
All of the data they process makes the machines whirr and produce hot air.
Think about how hot your laptop can get – and then imagine a warehouse full of them. That’s a lot of heat.
And currently, most of that heat is being blown away by cooling fans inside the data centres.
Wasted heat is a problem for data centres, because it requires a lot of money and energy to cool.
But cloud computing provider Heata, which has partnered with British Gas, wants to put mini data processing units on hot water cylinders at home.
These units process Heata’s cloud computing workloads, while providing free hot water without using any gas.
The technology is expected to shave up to £350 off your annual hot water bill if you use electric, according to Heata, and up to £120 on gas-heated water.
It does mean you’ll have to install a hot water cylinder, however, as it can’t be used on a combi boiler.
The pair will be trialling this new method on 10 British Gas customers over the next three months.
“Innovative projects like this are another example of how the UK is becoming a leader in cutting carbon emissions,” Paul Lodwidge, Head of Energy Product & Propositions from British Gas, said in a statement.
The trial will help British Gas and Heata work out just how effective mini data centres at home could heat water, and slash energy bills.
The pair will also “co-develop customer propositions in 2025”, a statement from Centrica, British Gas’ parent company, said.
Demon appliances that drain your energy on standby
Appliances around the home can quietly guzzle energy adding extra pounds to your bill when you are not getting any use from them.
This can cost you a typical £45 a year but can be even more if you have a lot of appliances plugged in. Here is a list of appliances that you should make sure are fully switched off or unplugged at the mains when not in use.
Television
Leaving your TV on standby all the time can feel easier, but is costing you in the long term.
Desktop computer
Keeping your computer switched on or on standby when you’re not using it wastes energy
Microwave
A microwave is one of the appliances that will eat up electricity when left on standby. Unplug it from the walls and you could save money on your energy bill
Outdoor security lights
Security lights can deter burglars by turning on automatically once someone is nearby.
But oversensitive lighting that turns on too easily can see you pay extra.
Electric towel rail
An electric towel rail can warm up your towels or help dry your clothes.
But there is a price to pay for this comfort, especially if it isn’t being used.

EVA Longoria has revealed all on her school run style and biggest fashion regret, as well as the top beauty secrets she swears by.
The 49-year-old Hollywood actress also got candid on her celebrity “style icon”, as well as the wardrobe item she has “way too many” of but just can’t throw away.

GettyNot only this, but the mum-of-one shared her school run style and the beauty gadgets she can’t live without[/caption]
Getty - ContributorShe described Victoria Beckham as her “style icon”[/caption]
Speaking to The Times, the brunette beauty, who describes her style as “muted” as a result of her love of “classic styles and comfort”, explained that she admired her mother, aunt and sisters’ style when growing up.
She confessed: “I never had to look far for an example of what a woman should be. I had really great role models in my family.
“My aunt was well travelled and always wore a scarf and perfume. She was – and is – so glamorous. That’s what I wanted to be like.”
Whilst she looked up to her family members for fashion advice, now, her celeb pal, Victoria Beckham, 50, is her go-to.
Eva beamed: “[Victoria Beckham] is my style icon. I aspire to be like her one day, and I never will.”
For those eager to look inside Eva’s wardrobe, you’re sure to find “way too many” pairs of white trainers.
But whilst Eva’s businessman husband José Bastón thinks her collection of similar shoes is excessive, the Desperate Housewives star claimed: “But I need them. I can’t say out loud how many I have.”
When it comes to the secret to red carpet dressing, Eva praised her hair, make-up and stylist team, as she explained: “They put so much thought into it that I don’t have to. They pull photos and references and create the illusion that is Eva Longoria.”
But for those without a load of professionals to hand, if you want great style in your forties, Eva advised: “I think less trendy, more classic and more investment pieces that will last longer. You can justify that expense over the years of wear you’ll get out of it.”
Whilst Eva is often dressed up to the nines for posh celeb events, when it comes to dropping off her six-year-old Ssantiago Enrique Bastón to school, Eva simply confirmed that her style is “sweats or yoga pants.”.
But despite keeping it simple for the school run, when it comes to her skincare routine, you can expect a host of pricey gadgets.
The beauty enthusiast opened up: “I’m currently obsessed with the TheraFace Pro [£375]. It’s this machine, it turns hot and cold and you can de-puff your eyes. It is the greatest invention ever.
I’m Mexican so I have great hair

“I also like the Facify Beauty Wand [£345] to use on my face.”
But where her luscious locks are concerned, she simply confirmed: “Well, I’m Mexican so I have great hair.”
Top beauty trends for 2025
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.
Haircare
Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.
Hair glosses are multifunctional as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025’s core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up.
2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments.
Skincare
Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to a achieve flawless, youthful complexion.
Skincare routines will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.
Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving makeup and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
Makeup
Makeup trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin.
Makeup looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks.
Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect.
Nails
2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.
And although we think Eva always looks fabulous whatever the occasion, the savvy mum was eager to open up on her biggest outfit regret which still haunts her, all 20 years later.
Reflecting on the 2005 red carpet, Eva shared: “The first time I went to the Cannes Film Festival sticks out. I went to Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles and bought a $39 [£31] dress because I was told I needed a dress.
“It looked amazing and people were like, “Who are you wearing?” I thought, why are they asking me that? It was this gold knit dress and even L’Oréal were like, “Maybe next time we style you.” I really didn’t understand the gravity of that red carpet.”
