This Is the Easiest Way to Fake a Salon-Grade Manicure
Getting my nails done is one of my all-time favourite treats. There’s nothing like walking out of the salon with a fresh set, especially if it’s with some customised nail art or trying a trending nail colour. However, it’s definitely an occasional treat that I couldn’t afford to have all of the time. While I have a gel nail kit at home, it’s not the same as having them done professionally. Plus, I don’t have the steadiest of hands, so my nail art skills are quite questionable. (I’m right-handed, so the the designs on my right hand are never quite as neat as those on my left.) For the times when I can’t make it to the salon or I just don’t have the patience for complicated nail art, I reach for press-on nails. False nails ...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and This Is What I’m Buying in Sephora’s Cyber Monday Sale
Stop everything because Sephora has launched Cyber Monday deals, and we could not be more excited for some savings on our favourite beauty products. Beauty lovers nationwide were delighted at the news that Sephora was launching in the UK last month, and it’s already become one of our favourite places to shop online for beauty.

I’m a Beauty Expert, and Here’s My Cyber Monday Shopping List
This year, more so than ever, I have been thinking carefully about where and how I spend my money. In the past, I have been known to splurge in beauty halls on the prettiest-looking products. However, over the years, I have learned that the buzz I got off buying beauty in this way was always short-lived. More often than not, I was left with shelves of products that just weren’t quite right for me. To avoid repeats of years gone by, this Cyber Monday, I’m shopping smart. I have spent the last few weeks compiling a list of the products I actually want to purchase, and I’m promising to stick to it. While it’s highly unlikely I’ll be purchasing everything on the list, I certainly won’t be straying from it. Following weeks of careful consideration and a whole bunch of research, ...
teamLab Transforms Historic Castle Into an Interactive Art Space
For one of its latest projects, teamLab presents its Digitized Fukuyama Castle exhibition at a historic fortress located in Fukuyama, Hiroshima. Originally built in 1622 at the beginning of the Edo period as the last large-scale castle of its time, Fukuyama Castle is designated as one of Japan’s National Treasures. In 1966, it was burnt down due to air raids during the Second World War and was later reconstructed. Distinct features include restored iron paneling which is said to be the only one of its kind in the country. The upcoming project is part of teamLab’s Digitized City art series, in which the digital art collective explores how non-material tech can turn a city and its buildings into art without physically altering it. The castle grounds and castle of Fukuyama are transformed int...
Out of 6,305 Discounted ASOS Items, These Are the Only 15 to See
I like to approach the frenzy of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales with a calm and steady mind, preparing ahead of time with a list of what I actually need and then doing my due diligence to filter through everything before (panic) committing to a decision. So far over the Cyber Weekend we’ve seen a heap of high street stores offer their discounts (I have to admit, COS’s sale offering is particularly strong), designer e-commerce sites such as MATCHESFASHION and Net-A-Porter share their reductions and countless beauty brands such as Look Fantastic and Charlotte Tilbury have deals on cult-adored items that are worth buying any day of the year, full-price too! I’m following a less-is-more kind of sales strategy, so when one is fa...
40 Fancy Christmas Gifts We’d Be So Happy to Receive This Year (Hint, Hint)
There are two types of Christmas gift shoppers: the kind who have everything bought and wrapped by the first week of November or those who leave it until the last minute and spend Christmas Eve placing said presents into gift bags. Neither is right or wrong, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: In the frenzy of dreaming up gifts for others, it’s perfectly acceptable to play fantasy with the gifts you’d like to receive, too.

I Have Hooded Eyes—A Makeup Artist Just Showed Me How to Do Eyeliner
If you have hooded eyes, you might find your eye makeup is prone to smudging or moving on the natural fold of your lids. Prepping your lids correctly and choosing the right eye makeup products will ensure your eyeliner stays put. “Always apply a long-wearing, water resistant primer or eyeshadow first then gel or liquid eyeliner,” says Russell. “If you are a beginner, you can start by tracing with a soft brown pencil or gel eyeliner,” she says. When choosing eyeliners, look for long-wearing products that will stay put. “Good long-wearing liquid eyeliners are Bobbi Brown, Clinique and KVD Tattoo liner,” says Russell.

I Just Assembled 4 Winter Outfits From H&M That Will Make You Look Rich
Winter can be really hard to dress for. Your first priority is usually warmth, and for me personally, comfort comes a close second, with style often taking a back seat. Add in some dark, uninspiring mornings and my go-to outfits can easily just become a combination of the cosiest items I lay my hands on when I first open my wardrobe. I presume I’m not alone in this winter outfit rut, so after recently browsing through H&M’s impressive new-in section, I thought it might be helpful to assemble four ready-made, affordable (but still chic) H&M winter outfits to inspire us all. Whether you’ve got festive events on the brain—from Christmas Day to parties in the run up—or your cosy weekend-wear is feeling like it needs a refresh, the f...
30 Totême, Khaite and The Row Winter Staples That Are Actually Worth the Money
When it comes to curating a responsible and reliable wardrobe these days, it’s much less about buying new items every season and more about investing in smarter, longer-lasting buys. We’re talking classics which you look forward to pulling out every year, rather than short-lived pieces that quickly go out of ‘fashion’, or don’t have the quality to last beyond a few washes. Whether your budget stretches to the best of the high street, or The Row’s most luxurious pieces, when you’re looking to make these purchases it just makes environmental, financial (and sartorial) sense to opt for timeless designs you won’t ever get bored of. For more budget-friendly options, the Who What Wear UK team turns to brands like Arket and Me + Em who prioritise quality over trends. But if...
