August 11, 2021 at 06:30AM There’s high chance you’re already somewhat familiar with Gisou. The pretty bottles are basically beauty royalty over on Instagram, with all of the cool girls using them as props for stylish set-ups. Despite the fact the brand only launched in the UK a few weeks ago, I’d go as far to say it has been one of Instagram’s most popular beauty brands over the past couple of years. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit that it is because of this that I’ve been holding onto some resentment towards it.You see, while I had become all too familiar with the way that those cult Gisou products looked, I had never, in all of the many hours I spent scrolling Instagram a day, seen a review on them. I had no idea what the claims were or whether they were even…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM Logos are a contentious issue when it comes to the fashion world. Back in 2018, Hedi Slimane took over as creative director at Celine. One of the first changes he made was to take off the acute accent off the first ‘e’. Die-hard fans were less than impressed all because of one tiny detail—to them the logo with the accent was everything. Over at Burberry, Riccardo Tisci was met with a similar situation when he changed the Burberry logo from one that was serif to sans serif. He also introduced a new monogram style. While the uproar wasn’t as loud, there were mixed reviews on what the creative director had done at the heritage brand. Evidently, logos mean a lot to us and in 2021, they’re back. However, this year, the logo fashion trend is more refined than previous years.…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…
