I’ve Tested Hundreds Of Hair Tools, But These Are The Only Ones I’ve Kept

September 18, 2021 at 06:00AM There is so much that I love about working in the beauty industry, but if I had to get to the core of what makes it brilliant I would say it’s testing all the new product innovations before they hit the shelves. As a beauty journalist with a special love of hair, I have been on factory visits to see how hair straighteners are made, sat in top secret meetings (with an NDA signed) to learn about new-to-market hair technology, and met with the brains behind the development of some the most-loved hair tools in the world.Over my years in the hair world, I have tested hundreds of hair tools, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. There are some that I’ve hated immediately, others that are great but haven’t worked for my hair type (and have since been re-homed with my friends and family)…

September 18, 2021 at 06:01AM Is there anything more classic than a humble pair of jeans? Personally, I’d say no. The timeless item finds a home in just about everyone’s wardrobe, in every corner of the globe, regardless of age or gender.Of course, when an item is as versatile as a pair of jeans, there are about a thousand different ways you can style them, dressing them up or down depending on the event or occasion. Today, however, we’re here to talk about the way you style jeans with shoes.I don’t know about you but when it comes to styling inspiration I always like to look to street style imagery and luckily in recent times showgoers have offered up a plethora of outfit ideas. Each season the fashion set takes to the streets in jeans of every shade and silhouette—be it indigo straight…

Eva Longoria on Representation in Beauty and Film

September 17, 2021 at 07:34PM Eva Longoria has achieved representation on her own terms. The multi-hyphenate’s career trajectory took her from a starring role in Desperate Housewives to working behind the scenes as a director and producer to starting her own production company to see hire more women and people of colour in Hollywood. Add her philanthropy work, ambassador role for L’Oréal Paris, and her most recent venture as the co-founder of Casa del Sol, a newly launched tequila brand, and suffice to say she’s extremely busy. Most recently, Longoria joined this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) virtually to discuss her experiences in the film industry as a woman. We also had the opportunity to speak with the star about representation in film and beauty, the power of telling diverse stories, and the importance of supporting women. What type of beauty did…

Lily-Rose Depp Rules TIFF Red Carpet in Chanel

September 17, 2021 at 07:32PM Lily-Rose Depp practically shrieks with laughter when asked if the pink Chanel fabric that hugs her waist is stretchy. “No, it’s not stretchy!” she responds between poses for a photographer after the world premiere of Silent Night at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). “It’s a corset.” It’s only when she turns around that we see the delicate lacing that crisscrosses up her back, giving the impression that the dress has been moulded to her middle. Which it pretty much has. As a Chanel ambassador, the couture atelier in Paris would have a dress form of Depp’s torso on which they create her red carpet looks. Depp’s wardrobe in the film isn’t nearly as fancy. She plays Sophie, the youngish girlfriend among a close circle of school friends who reunite for Christmas in the English countryside. It’s everyone’s…

Trust Us—This Moisturiser Is Basically Like Having 8 Hours of Sleep

September 17, 2021 at 03:36PM If there’s one thing that we could all be getting more of right now, it’s sleep. Sure, we all know the importance of clocking in those precious eight hours of rest each night for our overall health and wellbeing, but in practice, arriving at the land of nod isn’t always so easy. Between busy work schedules, the resurgence of socialising and balancing temporary home offices with partners, kids and needy pets, many of us are feeling too frazzled to wind down at the end of the day. And failure to switch off and rest means that our skin can be left paying the price. In fact, when talking to skin experts this year, one of the most recurring themes we’ve heard has been the increase in adults seeking help for skin sensitivity, acne and inflammation, all as a…
