15 Beauty Editors on the Affordable Products That Rival Expensive Buys
“Yes, the name sounds like it promises movie poster levels of mascara extra-ness that’s bound to disappoint, but this mascara actually delivers. The chunky brush (colossal, if you will) lengthens your lashes without any clumps, perfectly fanning out even the trickiest ones in the corners, and the formula is 100% smudge-free, which, for my tiny hooded eyelids is essential. No more socially awkward encounters with people staring at your mascara tears. And all for less than the price of a Pret lunch. Writing this has actually reminded me to go and buy one.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

10 Expensive-Looking Staples Every Wardrobe Would Benefit From
I admit it; I have expensive taste, and I’m also quite (read: very) picky. I always have been. When I was a teenager, knowledge of labels generally wasn’t as prevalent as now (we have the internet social media to thank for that). But, even then, I still found myself gravitating toward pieces of substance and brands of note over the quick and easy wardrobe updates that would tempt my friends. I dressed older than my years, which, at the time, sometimes meant I felt the opposite of “trendy“. Looking back, however, at photographs of my best friend’s 16th birthday party, to which I wore wide-leg tailored trousers and a silky camisole, I’m just grateful that such photographs don’t make me cringe today. Now, a full-fledged adult, I’m stil...

There’s a New Diamond of the Season: Meet Bridgerton Actress Charithra Chandran
Chandran’s road to Bridgerton was not without a plot twist worthy of a show itself, though. “Oh my God, it is a very complicated story. At the time, it was filled with lots of dread, but obviously, it’s worth it now and maybe worth it for the cool story,” she exhales, preparing to recount her lengthy audition process. “I first auditioned for the role of Kate back in November 2020 before the first season even came out [and] when the first trailer had literally just dropped. My agent was like, ‘I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but I have attached a trailer to this new show. Let me know what you think. They want you to audition.’ I saw it and was in love. I thought, ‘Oh my God, firstly, this is so fucking cool. Secondly, this is just going to be a megahit.’ So I auditioned in November, had a...
The Spring 2022 Shopping Guide: Where to Buy the 12 Biggest Trends of the Season
There’s something for everyone in the spring shopping line-up this year—from elevated denim separates to gravity-defying platforms—but I have to say that after minimalism’s dominance over the last few years, it’s been refreshing to see an abundance of colour and prints take over both the designer runways and high-street rails for spring/summer 2022. Perhaps it’s the fashion world’s attempt to manifest joy after a long lockdown or simply a craving to shake up the sartorial agenda, but whatever it is, we are here for it. Photo: The Style Stalker; Gucci S/S 22; Bottega Veneta S/S 22; Chloé S/S 22 As always, it’s our job to compile the ultimate shopping list for the new season—handpicking the key themes from the runways and condensing them into an edit that works for our busy and mu...
Victoria Beckham Talked Me Through Her Beauty Routine and the Products She Loves
Beckham’s fashion choices are well documented, and certain styling tricks—super-long trousers here, a pair of giant shades there—are instantly recognisable. But she has also crafted a signature makeup look over time. You may not have noticed because it’s subtle and timeless, but more often than not, Beckham will be seen with a classic smokey eye, a soft nude lip and strong, defined eyebrows. So what are the exact products in her makeup bag behind this trademark aesthetic? “Every day, I use my Smoky Eye Brick in Signature. I start by using the lightest shade as a primer, then the pink shade all over, then mid-tone brown to contour eyelids and use a dusting along lash line and under my eye for that smokey look,” she tells me. “Then, I take the darkest blue from Smoky Eye Brick in Royal, and ...
This Just In: 10 New Beauty Trends That Will Dominate All Year
Glowing skin has been on the makeup agenda for ages, but this season, a more natural approach to makeup is key. And no, it isn’t just applicable for those with smooth-as-butter complexions. The trend is moving far more towards skincare being fully entwined with makeup, rather than makeup being seen as a cover-up. “Skin is a key component in executing any makeup look. Skincare should feel low-maintenance, quick and uncomplicated. I always push skin as a makeup trend, but it’s not really a trend. It’s about loving the skin you’re in and creating a lit-from-within look. Beautiful skin really does start from within,” says Campbell Ritchie, celebrity makeup artist and Chantecaille ambassador. Getting a great base in 2022 is all about adopting the self-care rituals typical...
These Affordable Beauty Products Were Used At The Oscars – And They’re Under £15
Once again, the beauty looks at the Oscars 2022 did not disappoint. We’ve been glued to the red carpet looks, plotting which make-up and hair moments we’re going to try out ourselves. From Zendaya’s swept updo to Lupita Nyongo’s gilded eye look, the beauty was nothing short of chic. As much as we love finding out which luxury beauty brands are worth investing in, we also love a budget alterative that does the job. Whether it is cheap moisturisers that rival their luxury counterparts or the best budget-friendly concealers that give high end ones a run for their money, any beauty editor will tell you that it isn’t always necessary to spend a fortune to get brilliant products. And while you might expect the Oscar-goers to wear only the best of the best of premium brands, you’ll...
7 Brands That Are Just as Strong as Zara

Cult Beauty Has a Major Sale On—Here’s The 20 Products I’m Adding to Basket
Few things in life get me more excited than seeing the words ‘sale’ plastered on the landing page of Cult Beauty. Despite being a beauty editor that gets a lot of products sent to my door free of charge, I’m ashamed to admit that I still spend a rather shameful amount of money on beauty products. After all, I live and breathe beauty (you kind of have to when you do this job), and there are always products I’m itching to try. One category I spend a big chunk of my money on is makeup. I am the first to admit that I am no makeup artist. I like my products to be simple, easy to use and flexible for my wants and needs. And while I get sent a lot of new, trend-led makeup, when it comes to the products I use day in, day out, they tend to be classic products that don’t come my way too often. ...
Celebrities Adore This Spring Mango Coat—It’s Just Been Restocked
Like an alarm bell going off in my mind, I suddenly realised that Hadid wasn’t the only celebrity to have worn this woollen Mango coat. Alexa Chung, Holmes and Sienna Miller had snapped it up and worn it of late. My Mango contact confirmed my theory that all four women had indeed worn it—the one you now see before you. After something of a frenzy, the coat sold out, leaving those who missed it disappointed in the process. Today, however, I have good news—the very same Mango coat has just been restocked, and is currently available in all sizes. Though I don’t expect this to be the case for long.

J.Lo Wore the Jeans-and-Tee Combo Perfected By French Women
Although it’s completely true that there’s nothing we love more than a full-blown Jennifer Lopez look (we’re talking about her iconic Versace jungle dress and, more recently, her bridal minidress by Giambattista Valli), it would be wrong for us to discount the Hustlers star’s more laid-back outfits. After all, whether it be a sundress or joggers, J.Lo really can make anything look good. Her latest one is no exception. While out and about in L.A., Lopez was spotted wearing the easygoing denim look that French girls have been donning for decades. Specifically, she combined a basic white T-shirt with high-rise, wide-leg jeans à la Jane Birkin back in the 1970s. Keeping with the theme, she added a pair of sky-high ...
