TikTok Isn’t Always Right—This Is Why You Shouldn’t Be Using Lube as Primer

November 10, 2021 at 06:30AM TikTok has blessed us with many great things: mouth-watering recipes, killer outfit transitions and a shedload of beauty hacks. However, as someone who has dedicated her entire career to helping people get the most out of their beauty products, I beg you not to put lubricant on your face. As a beauty editor, I don’t shy away from being outspoken on pointless viral hacks, but I must admit this is the first time I have actually felt compelled to dedicate an entire article to one. If you have been on TikTok at all over the past few months, there’s a high chance you will have seen many videos with TikTokers showcasing the beauty hack du jour—using lube as a skin-smoothing, pore-disguising makeup primer.Yes, you did read that correctly. TikTokers are prepping their skin for makeup by applying lubricant. And it’s…

These Coats Are So Warm They Feel Like Actual Duvets

November 10, 2021 at 06:00AM Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced about the lockdown back in November 2020, I started a hunt for a coat that could actually double as a duvet. If my life was going to be al fresco, I wanted to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket, which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body, and I have a feeling it will remain a staple for winter 2021. In my research, I’ve looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I’d share with you my rather extensive shortlist of coats, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that Scandi brands really…

The Winter Staples to Invest In This Season

November 10, 2021 at 04:00AM When it comes to winter dressing, we’re all about making considered, investment purchases we can rely on to carry us through the season. Summer outfits may have all the fun and frivolity, yes, but prints and brights can date easily so it’s difficult to know what will survive into the next season. With autumn/winter you can always count on a palette of rich hues, creamy neutrals and interesting textures to feel not only appropriate but elevated. So you can be more confident committing to quality pieces you can pull out year after year. You can also rely on just a few key hero pieces to carry your whole winter wardrobe— that’s where buying less but better comes in. We’re talking the perfect coat, top quality knits, essential layers and, of course, some great boots. Mix these with your everyday…

These Celebs Are Making a Case For Colour In the Fall

November 10, 2021 at 12:03AM Many of us tend to gravitate towards a neutral wardrobe this time of year, opting for toasty browns, cozy greys and classic black as we bid farewell to summer —but some of our favourite celebrity street style looks have broken all the fall fashion rules, as the stars trade in these classic colours for more vivid hues. Last week, Rihanna hit the streets of NYC in a lime green statement coat by Marina Moscone paired with her very own chartreuse Savage x Fenty ‘Caged Lace Jersey Gloves.’ It had all the makings of a true-to-form fall ensemble: a long wool coat, wide-leg pants and seasonal gloves — but with an unorthodox element of colour that just works.

November 10, 2021 at 12:05AM Just ‘cause days are growing darker doesn’t mean a wardrobe has to as well.

My New Favorite Shades Are Under $150, Polarized, and From the Brand Yesglasses

November 09, 2021 at 10:30PM To be fully transparent, I have a strong dislike for sunglasses. I won’t use the H*** word, but I can’t stand how much I 1) spend on shades and 2) lose them. If I buy inexpensive sunglasses, they break, and if I buy expensive sunnies, they’re lost in a week (my own doing, I know, but I can never win!). I’ve worn every pair of shades under the sun - pun intended - from Ray-Bans to Target to Warby Parker and more, but what’s blown me away the most? Yesglasses. Fairly new to the lens market, the US-based brand popped up a mere four years ago and just recently caught my eye. While I’m not obsessed with the looks of its packaging, I will say the quality is unbeatable and the price is that sweet spot of not-too-expensive-not-too-cheap-they-break…

A Supervillain With Style – See Lady Gaga’s Gothic Twist on This Dramatic Gucci Cape Dress

November 09, 2021 at 09:16PM Purple is the color of royalty and Lady Gaga did the vibrant shade justice during her show-stopping entrance along the red carpet at the House of Gucci UK premiere on Nov. 9. Walking with cast mates like Adam Driver and Jared Leto, Gaga stole the show before the film even started rolling thanks to her floor-length Gucci gown. Knotted at the front of her waist, the dress flowed backwards like a set of surrealist butterfly wings every time Gaga tossed the cape over her shoulder, and we have to admit: we’re mesmerized. In a perfectly gothic juxtaposition to the delicate purple fabric, the “Stupid Love” singer styled the look with a pair of black fishnet tights in a star pattern, shoulder-length gloves covered in iridescent sequin stripes, silver Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and a pair of six-inch platform…
