Pat McGrath Labs Debuted the Buzziest Mascara of 2020—See Our Before-and-Afters
Rating: 3.5/5 stars Review: “I’d argue that mascara is one of the most finicky types of beauty products to review. Not only does everyone have different lashes (from length to density to curl), but also everyone has different lash goals. My ultimate mascara, for instance, gives me lots of volume, lots of curl, lots of length, and lots of definition. Basically, I want practically cartoonish, borderline Disney Princess–level lashes that completely pop out from my face. My lashes are naturally super long, and honestly, I don’t mind a little clumping. In fact, it’s kind of my signature look. However, I know that kind of drama is some people’s worst mascara nightmare. To each their own! “My long lashes and my eyes are probably my favorite feature, a...
Rihanna Is About to Launch Skincare— Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Although it still remains ambiguous as to the exact products she plans to launch, five specific names were mentioned in the application: Buff Ryder, Instant Reset, Fat Water, Flash Nap & Hydra Vizor (we are SO intrigued). From recent videos posted on social media, it looks likely there will at least be a foamy cleanser, serum and moisturiser in the mix. The other big piece of news we know, although it shouldn’t come as a surprise, is that Rihanna is planning on shaking up the game again with her products being aimed at both women and men. She’s even got ASAP Rocky and Lil Nas X starring in the launch campaign. Replying to a fan on twitter she said ‘Whoever told you skincare has a gender, LIED to you!’ Those shared bathroom cabinets are about to get a lot more streamlined and...
I’ll Never Wear Leggings Again, Thanks To These WFH Summer Outfits
I have to admit, when we first started working from home, the idea of wearing leggings every day was very appealing. Taking the complexity out of getting dressed, it was a somewhat welcome reprieve from having to put together a cute, office or event-worthy outfit, each day. Though, as a Fashion Editor, the novelty soon wore off and I felt myself missing the routine of actively getting dressed. While I am not advocating for working in a ball gown (though there is a maxi dress in my mix that is pretty close) I do feel like dressing in a more polished way has its benefits, particularly when it comes to my productivity levels. With this new found awareness, recently I’ve started to put together outfits each morning that feel elevated yet still prioritise comfort, bec...
Beach Outfit Ideas You’ll Want To Copy, Whether You’re In Croatia Or Cornwall
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably itching to get to a beach right now. We’ve suffered through a long, stagnant, (socially-distanced) spring and now is the time for the weather to warm up so we can all take a much-deserved dip in the ocean. Or at the very least, a scenic beach pic to post on our Instagrams. Whether you’re able to get to the Mediterranean for some guaranteed good weather, or are opting for a beach trip a little closer to home, seawater is sure to do you some good. So, what to wear on a trip to the seaside? Social media is, as expected, brimming with ideas. From cover-ups that can double as dresses to oversized shirts and fluid shorts, there are so many fun ways to dress up your swimwear this season. Why not take a l...
Trust Us—This Will be the Most Sought-After Bag In 2021
It’s been a long time since last season’s fashion month in February and March. So you could forgive us for not remembering every little detail. However, there was one item that made a real lasting impact: Gucci’s new it bag. When Alessandro Michele presented his latest collection back in March almost every look featured the iconic Jackie bag, which means this bag is set to be the next cult accessory from the Italian fashion house. If you recognise the name, then it’s probably because technically this bag isn’t new. The handbag was initially named after Jackie Kennedy and has been a hero Gucci item for years but it’s been relaunched with a bit of a makeover. The Jackie 2.0 has the signature shoulder strap and gold clasp across the body of...
My Favourite Stylish Women Just Told Me What’s on Their Autumn Wish Lists
As I type, the weather outside my window has gone from sunshine to torrential rain in less than an hour. It hasn’t been over 20 degrees in a week and I actually had to put the heating on this past Thursday. Granted, I do live in the north of England so you’ll forgive me then for what I’m about to say: I’m very much looking forward to autumn. Of course, with autumn comes some new wardrobe looks—I should caveat here that it doesn’t have to be new items, but rather a chance to style new outfits. For me, the colder months are great because you can transition a lot of your summer pieces by doing the thing that every fashion editor loves to talk about: layering. That said, there are always a few pieces that I like to invest in come the new season, nam...
These Celebrity-Approved Sandals Are Only £35
As far as fashionable footwear is concerned, the prominence of Birkenstock sandals is nothing new. The style has been around for years and is heralded as one of the comfiest options available. Celebrities even tend to agree, with everyone from Katie Holmes to Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid sporting the brand’s Arizona style. With a minimalist two-strap detail and the signature Birkenstock buckle, the shoe is easy to spot when worn alongside almost any ensemble. Though, despite its status as a celebrity favourite, Birkenstock Arizonas are surprisingly both easily attainable and affordable, with the labels ‘Eva’ style starting at just £35. While I have personally never purchased a pair, the footwear does also come highly recommended by severa...

5 Prints That Are Making Me Smile This Summer
Every spring I tell myself this will be the year I stick to a capsule of minimal basics, but then I see one printed midi dress and I’m over my dream of a beige and white summer wardrobe. This year in particular I’ve been gravitating towards statement prints thanks to their mood-boosting qualities—a rainbow midi dress may do nothing in the grand scheme of things, but nonetheless I do find colour and prints can have an impact on my daily outlook. There are five prints in particular this summer that are making me smile, with several coming from the capital of uplifting clothing—Copenhagen. This city’s fashion scene might be relatively small, but it is largely responsible for the look-at-me midi dresses and throw-it-all-together aesthetic that now dom...
These 23 Hairstyles Prove Long-Bobs Always Looks Chic
Probably one of the most overlooked hairstyles out there is mid-length hair. Between short pixies and chin-grazing cuts, to long, lustrous tresses, often we forget just how chic mid-length hairstyles can be. But right now, that seems to be changing. Chances are if you’re anything like us, you’re looking for a way to freshen up your look, and we all know the easiest way to do so is with a new hairstyle—and it seems the look fashion girls are backing is the long bob, otherwise known as the “lob”. The long bob’s sudden rise through the hair ranks is likely a combination of two things: 1) It’s being sported by those who had shorter hairstyles before lockdown, which have subsequently grown-out due to the lack of salon appointments. And 2) Those with long...
A Bottle of This Iconic Perfume Is Sold Every 30 Seconds—Here’s Why
No. 5 has been the fragrance of choice for many celebrities over the years, the most iconic being Marilyn Monroe, who famously stated that she wore nothing to bed except for the scent. Fast forward to the present, and Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eva Mendes, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Claudia Schiffer, and Celine Dion are all reportedly fans. French women can’t get enough of it either. Legendary actress Catherine Deneuve once loaned her prowess as the face of the fragrance; a covetable role which has, just this year, been passed onto the incredibly chic Marion Cotillard ahead of the perfume’s 100th birthday in 2021. Its impressive fanbase aside, Chanel No. 5’s status is also reflective of the perfume’s quality; a highly sophisticated blend of ...
Heidi Klum Just Told Me Her Beauty Secrets, and I’m Kind of in Awe
If many years of being a beauty editor and interviewing some of the world’s most beautiful models has taught me one thing it’s this: Genetics count for a lot. So many times in my career have I sat down to quiz supermodels with buttery complexions, thick, luscious lengths and perfectly made-up faces on their beauty secrets and have come away with no real insights at all. Because the truth is, so much of it is down to genetics. In fact, one supermodel I spoke to a few years ago informed she simply washes her face with a splash of tap water in the morning and she’s good to go. More often than not, I would walk away feeling hard done by and wondering where I could be going wrong with my own beauty routine. It poses the question: How is it possible that all of these beautiful women th...
