I’m a Beauty Editor, And This One Skincare Product Is by Far My Most Asked-After
If you’re asking me, there are few beauty products that can transform your mood quite like a natural-looking, glow-boosting fake tan. The best formulas aren’t the ones that deliver the deepest tan or the most bronzy finish, but rather that ones that leave you looking healthy and glowing—as though you’ve been bathing in vitamin D. Because whatever your skin tone, a hydrating self-tan can (and should) help skin appear more even and radiant. And this is the exact reason that Tan-Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum has such a buzz around it. Since its launch a few years ago, I have had at least one person a week ask me for advice on this at-first-unassuming bottle. People want to know if it works, if it’s easy to use and, most importantly, if it’s worth the mo...
This Is Already the Coolest Nail Trend of 2022
With spring on its way, there has been a noticeable shift in the types of manicures that I’ve spotted on Instagram lately. Gone are the neutral colours and basic shades that all the chicest women were stepping out in earlier this year and in their place, a riot of cute nail art and pastel hues. As someone that always has a saved folder that’s bursting with nail designs, I have to say that I’m thrilled with this shift to embrace colour and pattern for the season ahead. That being said, I’m well aware that checkerboard nails and rainbow manis aren’t for everyone, which is why I’m so excited about this emerging nail trend which I think even nail art cynics will adore: the colourful F...
8 Items Our Editors Would Never Buy From Zara
Now, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t be shopping for these at Zara. (Heck, some of the items our editors would rather not buy might be your favourite Zara section, and that’s okay—we all have our preferences and opinions.) Truly, in this situation, there’s no right or wrong answer, because at the end of the day, you know we all have an unhealthy obsession with the brand, so who are we to judge? We just thought it would be interesting to find out what these knowledgeable editors steer clear of when it comes to shopping affordably at Zara. That said, we’re not in the way of being unnecessarily negative, particularly when you might like shopping the items we prefer to swerve, so we thought we’d balance this out by charting the items our editors love to buy from ...
7 Parisian Basics That Will Make You Look Effortless at All Times
There’s two thing we can be sure of for spring: 1) micro mini skirts are 100% back thanks to that Miu Miu iteration seen absolutely everywhere, and 2) French women are here to save anyone who doesn’t want to try out the trend with their spring capsule. Perfectly formed of basics that are anything but boring, we can always rely on these effortlessly cool fashion people to guide us all when it comes to items that will stand the test of time. Sure, trends are fun to try out, but there’s no harm in sticking to what you know and wearing them on repeat. We’re talking the trench coat your wardrobe shouldn’t be without, the oversized blazer (hello, The Frankie Shop), and the more recent waistcoat addition you can style a million ways. Then there’s not forgetting the Breton. This ti...
My Hair Is Shedding Like Crazy, so I Asked Experts What to Do About It
“There are a lot of different reasons why your hair could be shedding,” Killeen says. “These include genetics (which is the most common cause for men), hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, birth control), stress, harsh chemical hair treatments, illness, medications, or a vitamin deficiency (particularly Vitamins A, C, D, and other nutrients such as Zinc and Iodine).” Rodney went into detail with some of the common causes below: Traction alopecia: This is one of the biggest reasons for hair loss, Rodney says. “This condition happens due to the excess pulling on hair follicles thanks to hairstyles like ponytails, buns, hair extensions, braids, and weaves,” she explains. “This causes extra traction on the scalp, increasing shedding on the hairline and n...
I’m Picky With Jeans But I Can’t Stop Wearing This Straight-Leg Pair From Arket
I’ve been styling mine most often with my Arket blazer, a vest and a shirt layer, with some heeled black boots underneath (à la Kendall Jenner). But they also look great with jumpers, and the straight ankle sits seamlessly over everything from chunky ankle boots to loafer and heels, and they even slip into knee-high boots nicely. Because they’re so classic— I have faith they’ll pretty much fit into any wardrobe seamlessly and make everything you own work harder. The best part about them, though? Thanks to the slight stretch, they’re seriously comfy which, after spending years in tracksuits, has become a priority for me when buying denim these days. Anyone else relate? This specific pair currently comes in four colours— but there’s also non-stretch, non-cropped and a straighter le...
I Just Tried On So Many H&M Jeans and Honestly, I Was Blown Away
Good high street jeans are hard to find. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them. I’m what you would call a jeans person, and I daren’t even admit to you how many pairs I’ve accumulated over the years in my search for the *perfect* pair. In my opinion, you just can’t beat an outfit that consists of a crisp white shirt or T-shirt and a pair of classic jeans. It’s a timeless, versatile combination that, if you get just right, you can build upon over the years with other items from your closet, depending on the look you want to achieve. My collection does include some investment designer styles that I swear by, Re/Done’s stove pipe and AGOLDE’s popular pinch waist, for example. But I take particular pleasure in the challenge of finding really good jeans on the high street. I have soft sp...

Revealed: The 6 Most-Used Beauty Products on the Season 2 Euphoria Set
It’s no secret here that we love (and sometimes hate) Euphoria. The gritty drama may follow the lives of teenagers, but as I’m sure you all know, it’s far from a kid’s show. Sometimes, the raw subject matters explored within its world bring me so much sadness, I feel like I’m fully living it along with the characters. But it’s not all doom and gloom—we’re here to explore the lighter artistic elements of the show today. Season two did not come to play, and neither did the stunning makeup looks created by the show’s incredible makeup team and lead artist, Doniella Davy. “With this season’s darker subject matter and cinematic aesthetic, the makeup needed to become less rainbowy,” Davy shares. “I ...
One Perfect Arket Blazer Worn 5 Ways for Spring
The blazer as a wardrobe staple has well and truly passed ‘trend’ status and become a fully fledged capsule hero piece. I now have upwards of 8 in my collection (how many is too many?), and I’d go so far as to say they are the most hard-working items in my closet. So much so that I can’t remember what I wore before Blazers were a thing? Answers on a postcard, please. This specific Arket style comes in four colours right now— beige, green, black and camel— but there’s also a navy double-breasted iteration and a less oversized version in red and brown too. I actually own both the camel and the black, because I’m a big believer in investing when you find an item you love and wear time and time again. I probably wear mine most often with jeans and a white T-shirt, switching in heels...
The H&M Bridesmaid Dresses Your Best Friends Will Actually Thank You For
We’ve all seen the film 27 Dresses, haven’t we? If not, you’ve probably experienced the difficult process of bridesmaid dress shopping in one way or another, whether it involved finding something that suits everyone for your own wedding or searching for one to wear for your BFF’s nuptials that wasn’t totally hideous. You might even be going through that exact scenario right now, but don’t worry— if that’s the case you’ve come to the right place to find a solution to the whole palava. Because H&M have just released a line of new bridesmaid dresses as part of their recent spring drop— and let me tell you, they’re good. Like, ‘I’m one of twelve bridesmaids for my friend’s wedding this summer and every single one of us just agreed on them’ good. Of course, it depe...
36 Spring Picks Worth Shopping From Cos, & Other Stories and Mango
Is anyone else SO excited for spring? As the evenings get slightly lighter and the idea of as fresco brunch without a coat creeps closer, I can’t help but count down the days until the clocks go forward. And something else I can’t stop thinking about is new additions to my spring wardrobe. You know, a fresh blazer that’ll elevate any pair of straight-leg jeans, a dress that makes you want to book a holiday and new sandals to start the phasing out of socks and boots. Although I have many wish lists as long as my arm on multiple site, the three brands that have actually made me transfer items to my basket are Cos, & Other Stories and Mango. Heroes on the high street, this trio never fails to impress me. Cos is of course stocked full of basics that have that certain premium feel, & Ot...
