I Only Use Low-Maintenance Makeup, and My Current Routine Only Costs £97
I am far from a makeup lover. While other beauty journalists play with eye shadow palettes, foundations and liners for hours on end in order to refine technique and help narrow down the best formulas around, the very sight of a new makeup product fills me with dread. While I appreciate the wonders of makeup, the sheer volume of products, combined with the fact I’m not very good at applying the stuff, makes me feel totally overwhelmed. Because of this, my makeup collection consists solely of products that are incredibly easy to use. For the most part, I like to be able to apply my makeup with my hands. In order to achieve glowing, convincing results, such products require clever, unique formulas. And such formulas typically come at a price. As a result, for as...
Honda Plans to Dump Internal-Combustion Engines by 2040
Honda is the latest automaker to announce it will eliminate all production of internal combustion engines with a plan to go all-electric by 2040. Not electrified (i.e. hybrid), but 100 percent battery- or fuel-cell-electric in a little less than 20 years from now. Don’t worry, we still have a little while to enjoy Honda’s fantastic gasoline engines before they hit the endangered species list. The ramp-up is truly that: It’ll take a little while to start, but then it’s really going to go. Honda’s plan is to have battery-electrics (BEVs) and fuel-cell-electrics (FCEVs) account for 40 percent of North American sales by 2030, 80 percent by 2035, and 100 percent by 2040. What Has to Happen for Honda to Go ZEV by 2040? Meanwhile, Honda is developing a new dedicated ...
Searching for Maserati: F Tributo Ghibli, Levante Special Editions Celebrate Italian Racing
Maserati made its first ever race appearance in April 1926, and the brand has enjoyed a storied history in motorsport ever since. Racing fans will also recall that the great Juan Manuel Fangio made his racing debut with Maserati in the early 1950s. To celebrate its near century-long racing heritage and Fangio himself, Maserati has pulled the wraps off of the F Tributo Special Edition models for the Ghibli sedan and Levante SUV. The F, as you might have guessed, stands for Fangio—a driver that even today is heralded as one of the most talented human beings to ever sit behind the wheel of a racing car. Both the Levante and the Ghibli are painted in stunning colors, with the hues themselves dripping with historical significance. The Levante is finished in Rosso Tributo, Italy’s rac...
2021 Chevrolet Corvette Long-Term Arrival: 12 Months With the Mid-Engined ‘Vette
Chevrolet Corvette Full Overview Unsurprisingly, we weren’t the only ones smitten by the mid-engine Corvette. All y’all wanted one, too. And that’s where things went sideways. First, a United Auto Workers strike pushed the launch date back from December 2019 to February 2020. Fair enough, collective bargaining is important. Chevy finally got the plant up and running in late February as planned, only to shut it down again in late March when COVID-19 reached pandemic status. Two months went by before production restarted, and Chevrolet was understandably pressed to get cars into customer hands as fast as possible. That’s fair, too. So we waited. And waited. Chevy had to extend the 2020 model year just to make good on all the preorders dealers had taken. Then it was fa...
Acura’s Type S History Driven: CL, TL, RSX (Plus One Type R)
Acura TLX Full Overview Welcome to a role reversal no mid-2000s Honda enthusiast ever predicted. While U.S. customers rip around happily in the indomitable and long-forbidden Civic Type R, Acura‘s sharp-edged U.S.-friendly Type S sub-brand has been dormant on our shores for close to 13 years. It’s quite the bummer: While not as focused and deliciously hardcore as Type R models, Acura’s various Type S variants occupied a performance niche matched over the years only by a handful of German and Swedish rivals. They went a long way toward establishing Acura as the driver’s choice among Japanese luxury and premium brands. At least, Type S was dormant. Now, the sporty treatment is back for 2021. Acura’s new TLX Type S is a serious entrant into the ultra-competi...

How Slow Fashion Is Going to Impact How We Dress
While it sounds kind of daunting, putting the concepts of slow fashion into practice is pretty simple. For example, Firth suggests adopting Eco-Age’s #30Wears campaign that implements a deeper thought process while shopping. “Rather than concentrating on which brand is good or bad,” says Firth, “why don’t you just stop and think for a second ahead of buying anything and ask yourself if you will wear it a minimum 30 times? If the answer is yes, then go ahead. But you will be surprised how many times the answer is no.” Lauren agrees and she offers some useful tips: “Try and think of a few new ways to style your wardrobe that you’ve not done before, breathe new life into what you already have. When you feel the moment has come to buy something new, take a little bit more time to do ...
17 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week
There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition ...
Trust Me—These 23 Short Haircuts Require Barely Any Upkeep
One of the most common misconceptions about short hair is how time-consuming the styling and upkeep can be. Turns out it’s a myth as old as time, and we’re here to put an end to it. Just like some long hairstyles can look lifeless when not styled, so too can shorter hair. But opting for a shorter style doesn’t mean you’ll be glued to your stylist’s chair every week. In fact, the right short haircut for you will depend a lot on your texture, the condition of your hair and your lifestyle. For instance, if you have very curly hair, then opting for a sleek bob will require a lot of heat and therefore way more in-salon treatments to repair and restore your strands. “Every head of hair is different, so it’s important to have a thorough consultation with y...
David BaGuetta: Someone Sliced Bread and Mashed Up the Videos With David Guetta DJing

Check out the horrifying incredible video below courtesy of Defected Records, whose content game is second to none. Remember when they shared the DJing dachshund?
