These Are the Product Swaps to Make in Your Autumn Skincare Routine
Everyone’s favourite season is fast approaching and while it’s serving as an unwelcome reminder of just how fast this year is going, there’s some good news. It’s time for autumn skincare (cue applause), and no this isn’t a ploy to get you to spend more money on your face. I’ve always swapped out my skincare whenever I sense that the temperature is about to decline. There’s nothing like a metaphorical slap in the face courtesy of a gust of wind, to remind me that my light moisturiser isn’t going to cut it. It’s not just a personal preference either, as rethinking your skincare routine for autumn has some serious skin benefits. First of all, with the sun exposure, sweat, inflammation and dehydration from travelling we pro...
2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class First Look: The Luxury-Sedan Benchmark Again Moves the Goalposts
2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class offered in S 500 4Matic and S 580 4Matic trims with standard all-wheel drive at launch. 3-D instrumentation, active ambient lighting, haptic feedback—including seat shakers that amplify the effect of audio bass—and more all aim to provide a rich sensory experience. The new Mercedes S-Class goes on sale in the first half of 2021 in the United States at prices yet to be announced. Certain cars are so important to the auto industry as a whole that they generate their own gravity. These models, when redesigned, can suck all the air out of competing automakers’ boardrooms, design studios, and engineering labs. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is one of those cars. Sedans as a vehicle type may be in general decline, but the S-Class remains the king of the format globall...
What If the Ram 1500 TRX Had 1,200 HP, Six Wheels, and Cost Half a Million Dollars?
If you somehow don’t think the 702-hp 2021 Ram TRX is potent enough for your needs, Hennessey Performance has a truck for you. The high-performance tuner has upgraded the TRX pickup’s 702-hp 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi, enlarging it to an insane 7.0-liter displacement and extracting more than 1,200 horsepower from the result. Meet the Hennessey Mammoth 6×6. Following in the footsteps of the VelociRaptor 6×6 and Goliath 6×6, this special TRX has six wheels. But the Mammoth almost puts these decidedly not “weak” trucks to shame with how much power it has. Hennessey says the TRX-based Mammoth is the biggest and most powerful truck it has made in its 29-year history—even among all those wacky 6x6s.

This Is The Only Hair Styling Tool You’ll Ever Need
If there ever comes a time when you find yourself underneath my bed, you’ll find two hair tool boxes. One filled to the brim with tongs that couldn’t hold a curl, rogue hair brush drying tools and hairdryers purchased on a whim that never lived up to my expectations. In summary, the box of disappointments. Then there’s the other box that now only contains the Dyson Airwrap Complete Hair Styler, and this is the only box I’ve been going into. When Dyson launched the Airwrap they changed the hair game with the multi-styler that uses air to style hair instead of the extreme heat, that our hair has fallen victim to in the past. With Dyson, you can always expect some rather fancy tech and the styler has something called the Coanda effect that attracts hair to ...
These Sandals Had an 800-Person Waiting List, and They’ve Finally Dropped
Back in June high street shoe saviour, Dune, released what has to be one of the coolest affordable sandals we’ve seen all year. Chunky, textured and oh-so comfy, they quickly made the rounds on Instagram thanks to their high-end finish. I was very lucky to be sent a pair by the brand just before they sold out, and I’ve literally worn them every day this summer, and plan to cling onto them until winter hits. While they’ve been out of stock for months now, and have accrued an 800-strong waiting list, we can happily say that the black iterations are finally back in stock. Hurrah! You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power. Get to meet Beauti...
We Drove a 2019 Volvo S60 for a Year. Here’s How It Did
Despite the fact that it competes in the sport sedan segment, the Volvo S60 values comfort and convenience over a spirited and punchy drive. After 12 months with us, the S60 delivered exactly that, and although its 316-hp T6 engine still feels energetic, it’s tailored to deliver a peaceful experience. From the beginning, when the S60 was delivered to our Detroit office last summer, associate road test editor Erick Ayapana bought a one-way ticket to the Motor City and set out on a six-day road trip back to the Golden State. I’d be lying if I said he didn’t enjoy the trip. Between that trip and others, the S60 visited Chicago, Denver, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and San Francisco, and was always enjoyable to drive for long periods of time. Although they lack fa...
Sub-10-Second Lucid Air Stomps Tesla Model S in the Quarter-Mile
After we rode in the Lucid Air prototype electric vehicle last month, we learned the upcoming sedan almost assuredly has Tesla beat in the driving range game. Now, Lucid has released details on the Air’s drivetrain, and we have even more reason to be excited about the forthcoming EV ahead of the production model’s debut on September 9. See all 14 photos The Air’s in-house-developed permanent magnet electric motor drive units are also lighter and more compact than those of its closest competitor, according to Lucid. Presumably, that’s a jab at the Tesla Model S. The drive units combine an electric motor, inverter, transmission, and differential into a package that can reportedly fit inside of a carry-on roller bag. See all 14 photos Each drive unit weighs 163 pounds,...
6 Uncomplicated Autumn Trends That Essentially Style Themselves
I’m personally not that big of a fan of “tricky trends.” You know, those trends that just seem complicated—whether it’s that they don’t pair easily with go-to basics like jeans or appear to be uncomfortable and not so versatile. If you’re with me, what’s coming your way could be particularly intriguing to you. Yep, fall 2020 actually hosts a variety of simple trends that are actually quite easy to style. Essentially, the looks in question could inherently just style themselves and make a fashion-forward statement with minimal effort aside from potentially having to mix in a few basics. I’m talking about items like eye-catching knit dresses, directional tailoring, and so on. Keep scrolling to check out these six uncomplicated fall trends, complete with a bit of vis...
7 Ways to Wear a Blazer With Jeans This Autumn
When it comes to fail-safe outfit formulas, you just can’t beat a blazer and jeans. It’s a simple, chic wardrobe game-changer that never lets us down.

From Colours to Cuts, These Are the Hair Trends That Matter Most This Autumn
Talking about the onset of fall can be fairly stressful when you’re still enjoying the dog days of summer and the lovely relishes that come with it: socially distanced s’more assemblage, daylight at 8 p.m., and sweat-inducing temps at 8 a.m. Alas, fight though we did, it’s officially time to start thinking about fall and how our skincare routine, wardrobe, nail game, and hair color can be adapted as we prepare to ring in the new season. (If you’re so inclined, of course.) ICYMI, we already published a pretty extensive guide to 2020 fall hair color, but we thought we’d round it out with an expert-led side serving of haircut, hairstyling, and hair accessory inspiration. Below, we’re recapping the fall color trends we discussed earlier this s...
My 4 Favourite Places for Buying Secondhand Clothes Online
From setting up alerts for the (old) Celine boots that I just can’t track down anywhere to sifting through some really fantastic designer vintage pieces, Vestiaire Collective not only holds a huge volume of authenticated stock, but it also knows how to make things smoother and faster for a busy girl. As there are so many pieces online that it’s a good idea to have some parameters of what you’re looking for. Even if it’s that you know you want a coat in a particular colour in a set size, setting filters will help you trawl through the product offering. I use it to pinpoint the items I missed out on the first time around, such as the aforementioned Celine boots. However, the site also has dresses, jewellery and outerwear. Because items are shot by sellers from their o...
The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Is Ready For Our Autonomous Future
The all-new 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is here, and like its predecessors, it’s a technological powerhouse that moves forward the state of the automotive art. The new S, which will launch in America next year, is claimed to have more computing power than any car ever created. While its mighty silicon brains are brought to bear on things like personal profiles for up to eight drivers, MBUX voice-assistance functionality for each individual seat, active ambient lighting and other interior delights, an active suspension that can prepare the car for a side impact, and much, much, more, it’s also being turned toward our autonomous future. The new S comes preloaded with the ability for both SAE-designated Level 3 and Level 4 autonomy; the difference between the levels is that Level 3...
