Honestly, This Might Be the Only Lipstick You Need In Your Life
Surely all lipsticks are the same right? Well no, unfortunately they’re not. After trying nearly every lipstick around, there’s one that I always come back to. Of course, it’s Charlotte Tilbury. I don’t know if it’s the signature rose gold packaging or the old Hollywood style but I’m into Glamour with a capital G, so therefore I’m very into Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. It’s not just style over substance though as one Matte Revolution Lipstick is sold every minute. That’s a whole lot of lipstick, and while the instantly recognisable Pillow Talk shade is in the beauty hall of fame, the formula itself is where all the good stuff is. A matte lipstick that’s comfortable to wear without looking chalky and easy to apply with the angula...
15 Jumpers That Make Our Leggings Look Luxe
Leggings are the one item we can guarantee that you’ll find in any woman’s wardrobe. Which is why we’re dedicated to finding the coolest styles, newest trends, and innovative ways to wear all your favourite pairs. From yoga class to our daily walks and everything in between, leggings are our go-to piece to cosy up in (and still look cool doing it). And while we wish there were endless ways to wear them, the fact is that their body-hugging shape looks best when paired with some length for a necessary balance. The one piece that makes wearing leggings alone totally doable? A long sweater or cardigan. The trick is to look for knits that are longer than the average, hitting about mid-thigh. Luckily, there are plenty of worthy options out there and we’ve sifted through them so that you ca...
Tracklist and Release Date for Cyberpunk 2077’s Soundtrack Announced
The upcoming soundtrack is set to feature music from Grimes, SOPHIE, Nina Kraviz, Run The Jewels, and more. After suffering a number of delays, the video game community is cautiously awaiting the release of one of the most anticipated games in recent memory, Cyberpunk 2077. Currently scheduled to hit the shelves early next month, the game will be a delight for music fans as it includes original tunes from Grimes, SOPHIE, Nina Kraviz, Run The Jewels, and more.

GRiZ and Subtronics’ “Griztronics” Added to Fortnite’s In-Game Radio
Players who enter vehicles inside the game will now have the ability to compete to the sounds of the duo’s collaborative hit. Back in August, one of the world’s biggest video games, Fortnite, released a new update that added cars to the game. While it offered a distinct change of pace to the traditional gameplay, it also opened the door to even more musical crossovers with the introduction of in-game radio stations. Chances are if you attended a bass music show in 2019 or used TikTok at all, you’ve been exposed to GRiZ and Subtronics‘ infectious collaboration “Griztronics.” Back in the days of actually attending concerts in-person, the song was played in nearly every set that featured trap and dubstep music. Now, fans can get sucked deeper into its...
Monstercat Clarifies Controversial Twitch Affiliate “Fast-Track” Service
The Canadian label clarified an announcement that seemingly offered Twitch users a way to pay their way into Affiliate status on the platform. A few days ago, Monstercat announced a new service that would be included in their “Monstercat Gold” program. The new offering was advertised as a way for subscribers to “fast-track Affiliate status” on Twitch. The announcement led to controversy in the streaming community since Affiliate status traditionally had to be earned, not purchased. The Canadian electronic record label backpedaled two days later, taking to social media to clarify that they did not mean to assert that Affiliate status would be guaranteed to subscribers. “To clarify our original post, all current Gold subscribe...
I’ve Worked Out the Boot Trends You’re Going to Love in 2021
Much like everyone in the world, I’d quite like 2020 to be over sooner rather than later, thanks very much. I don’t think I’m generalising when I say that this year hasn’t been the best. So then, you’ll forgive me for looking ahead into the new year and the new season fashion trends to have something to look forward to. On the agenda today is the best new boot trends for 2021. While I’m aware that most of us are set with our footwear for winter right now, there are some genuinely exciting boots trends for the new year. As boots are now a year-round item, they’ll work perfect for spring/summer 2021 with summer dresses but excellent for the colder weather too. Below, there are three key looks I’ve identified from the upcoming collections. While there isn’t anything totally groundbreaking, w...
This 56-Year-Old Model Looks a Decade Younger—Here Are All Her Skincare Secrets
Yep, we all know that one person who looks as if they’ve stopped time. They might be in their 30s to 40s but easily look like they’re a 20-something. Maybe they even ID’d. Call it what you want, but I’d venture to guess that there’s someone in your life who’s managed to negate the natural effects of aging in one way or another, and we’d be lying if we said it didn’t absolutely intrigue us. No matter what age you are—or whether you’re even concerned with “ageing”—it’s near impossible not to be curious about how these people have managed to Benajmin Button right in front of our eyes. One such example is Caroline Labouchere, a grey ambassador and model whose glowy, flawless complexion has stopped me in my scrolling track...
OnStar Insurance Could Save GM Vehicle Owners Money—If They Drive Nicely
Car insurance in the 21st Century is a bit more complicated than it was a few short decades ago. More technology in cars means more potential repair costs to consider, but it also gives insurance carriers the ability to tailor premium rates to each individual driver—as long as you let them into your car to look over your shoulder. Companies like Progressive and State Farm have offered services that monitor your driving habits and reward good behavior for years, and now General Motors is looking to get into the telematics-based insurance game with OnStar Insurance. Unlike other services that rely on external devices that plug into your car’s onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) port or connect to it via Bluetooth, OnStar Insurance uses the systems already built into every GM vehicle. OnStar Insuran...
The Hardest-Working Staples to Buy Now and Wear Forever
As an editor of a fashion website, I spend a lot of time reporting on new trends, new labels and new ways to wear things. However, sometimes you really never can beat a classic, and it’s arguably more important to build a wardrobe that you’ll love for years, if not decades. Thinking of the longevity of your purchases not only is a way to have a more sustainable approach to fashion but will also help you to carve out a style that is timeless and feels truly you. The idea of a capsule wardrobe created a real buzz around 2014 when a number of industry figures promoted a compact closet built of pieces that all perfectly match. There are some items that we think will always rise high above trends, making them the perfect pieces to invest in and add to your capsule (or not-so-capsule...
Brit Celebs Always Wear These 5 Winter Items
Dressing for winter in the UK is no easy feat, though there is something distinctly British about knowing how to put together a great outfit despite all the elements—some of us even enjoy the challenge. Between the stormy gales and a high likelihood of rain, there are myriad factors to consider when it comes to getting dressed each day during the winter. However, those of us who call this place home have spent years perfecting the outfit formulas we know will keep us warm, dry and of course, looking stylish. When it comes to staying warm and chic celebrities tend to be just as savvy as the rest of us, and many of the UK’s leading fashion lights also champion the very same hero pieces we rely upon to survive the season. From double-breasted wool coats that will keep you cosy on your ...
6 Ways I Make My Nightly Bath Even More Blissful
Whenever I tell someone that I didn’t have a shower in my house until I was in my late teens, they’re always incredibly shocked. What can I say? Both my mum and I loved baths, so we never really felt the need to reconfigure our entire (relatively small) bathroom to fit an unsightly cubical. As far as I was concerned, showers were an oddity. That was until I started working and the shower my mum had finally permitted my stepdad to install came in especially handy when I was running late (which, admittedly, was just about every day). Now that I have a bathroom all my own—with a shower and everything—I still prefer to soak than stand. I have a bath almost every night, particularly in the winter months. A bath is a perfect way to unwind after a stressful or busy day or to warm you...
Feathered Hair Is Officially Back, so Here’s All the Inspiration You Need
It’s easy to forget, but trust us when we say that hair trends have come on leaps and bounds in the last 15 or so years. Nowadays, more often than not, we know exactly what we want when we sit down in the salon chair. Whether it be hand-painted balayage, rogue blonde, or a glass bob, we’re more clued up on the intricacies of hair techniques than ever before. But let us not forget where this all started. Cast your minds back to when every salon appointment started with you handing over a picture of a celeb torn out of a magazine. Soon enough, we picked up on new terms—things like “inverted bob” (VB, you owe us for the cold necks we suffered), “babylights,” and, perhaps the most frequently uttered words in salons throughout the ’90s and early noughties, “feather...
