March 29, 2022 at 08:00AM Let me first start by saying that I use my Dyson Airwrap every time I wash my hair. It really is a great product. With heaps of different attachments available to deliver whatever effect your heart so desires, it delivers good bang for its buck. However, the attachments the Airwrap is best known for, the barrels that utilise Dyson’s Coanda technology to create big, bouncy volume, are by far my least favourite. You see, my hair is thin, poker-straight and long, meaning that finding ways to give my hair volume with as little effort as humanly possible is a pretty high beauty priority for me.But the truth is I find the barrel attachments a bit of a nuisance. The barrels that came with my version of the tool, for starters, are quite short, and Dyson charges more for longer barrels…

March 29, 2022 at 08:00AM After months of dreary weather and dark mornings, it’s natural to be excited about spring’s arrival. However, as much as we look forward to the start of the new season, adjusting your wardrobe to accommodate the unpredictable forecasts in March and April can be tricky. There’s more to assembling your spring outfits than you might think. There’s a whole host of new trends to consider, and it’s important to get the balance of being warm but not swamped under thick layers just right.So I am here to help you streamline this process by presenting you with the pieces my knowledgeable colleagues and I consider to be the most versatile and classic spring fashion items you can own. Essentials, go-tos, wardrobe fail-safes—whatever you want to call them, these 12 timeless spring pieces will be the unshakable foundations of any…

March 29, 2022 at 08:00AM I know the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing is a cliché, but when it comes to my wardrobe I’ve been really feeling the urge to give it a good old cleanse lately. Since that feeling coincided with the start of a new year, I thought it was the perfect excuse to step back and take stock of what I really wear, and what pieces are just gathering dust. It may have something to do with the fact that I recently turned 30 and moved house, but it’s also become obvious (since working from home more regularly) that I don’t wear half my clothes anymore. So a tighter capsule edit of perfect pieces is going to clear some much needed storage space and make getting dressed in the mornings a lot easier.And I know I’m not alone in this— every…

March 29, 2022 at 06:30AM 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…

March 29, 2022 at 06:02AM Few things make me happier than the arrival of spring. And it’s not just the promise of warmer weather, longer days and balmy summer nights that gets me feeling giddy. In fact, there is no doubt that one of my favourite things about the arrival of spring is the promise of a lower-maintenance beauty routine. After many, many months of trying to find ways to get skin convincingly glowy and dry hair silky, the warmer months are finally here to do the hard work for us.And while I typically spend this time of year furiously scrolling Instagram and grilling every beauty expert I know for inspo and insights into the upcoming season’s trends, this year, I’m feeling a little different. I don’t have the urge to save down every awe-inspiring makeup look that crops up on my feed, and I’m not…

March 29, 2022 at 06:00AM I first saw Victoria Beckham in real life backstage at her fashion show in New York. We all have a favourite Spice Girl, and mine was always Posh, so this was a major moment for me. The hours leading up to a runway show are always chaotic and stressful no matter how seasoned a designer may be. However Beckham looked cool and collected in jeans, a navy roll-neck jumper and immaculate makeup. This perfectly encapsulates Beckham’s signature look—her brand is all about subtle elegance and an uncomplicated approach to getting ready. She retired her fake tan, Cavalli dresses and heavy lip liner a long time ago and made a fashion and beauty empire out of her now carefully honed aesthetic. Celebrity beauty spin-offs can typically be underwhelming and have poor formulations and high marketing budgets, but Beckham has created…

March 29, 2022 at 06:00AM Finding the perfect pair of jeans is one of life’s great mysteries. The search can take years, and then by the time you find them the trends have changed, or your body shape fluctuates (totally normal) and that dream pair doesn’t quite fit anymore. While searching we spend hours in changing rooms getting flustered, or over-ordering online only to have to schlep all the losing styles back to the post office afterwards. But every once in a while a perfect style comes along as if by magic, when you’re least expecting it. That’s what happened to me and the one pair of jeans that I’ve worn on repeat for the last year. I added them to an online sale order at the last minute on the recommendation of a fashion friend, and my wardrobe has never looked back. I own over 50 pairs…

March 29, 2022 at 05:45AM 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. 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 multifaceted lives. And, as per usual, we’ve found a high-street, designer and vintage item for each trend, as we believe that…

March 29, 2022 at 05:32AM There are spoilers ahead—you have been warned! *Imitates finest Julie Andrews as Lady Whistledown voice* Dearest readers, unless you have been excluded from the cultural conversation of the last two years, you will be aware of the Netflix blockbuster series Bridgerton and its namesake family, who set the Ton ablaze with drama and scandalous storylines ranging from the archaic (marriage-market matchmaking) to the downright alluring and meme-worthy. (The Duke of Hastings seductively licking a spoon is indelibly marked in our thirsty minds.)Now, Bridgerton is back for a second season, and in keeping with the storyline of the Julia Quinn novels the show is based on, the focus will pivot away from the initial tale of Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor’s Duke and Duchess of Hastings and towards new love matches. So that means dance cards are ready for bachelor Anthony…
