These Are the 15 Beauty Products I Will Never Get Rid Of

February 15, 2022 at 06:00AM When I first moved into my flat earlier in the year, I made a promise to myself that the spare room turned office/beauty room would be nothing less than spotless at all times… of course, that didn’t happen. In between my weekly PR packages of new beauty launches which I’m extremely lucky to receive and my continued ‘I deserve it’ mindset, it’s safe to say at this point that Shrek’s swamp is probably more organised than my beauty room.But this spring, I’m determined to have my makeup and skincare products arranged in an orderly fashion. Several bin bags of old beauty products and a charity pile later and my beauty room is in much better shape. I’m finally able to separate my lipsticks from my cleansers, however my clear out made me realise that there were a few products in particular that I will…

February 15, 2022 at 05:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers.

Rue’s Malcolm X Shirt Has a Symbolic Meaning

February 15, 2022 at 12:15AM Another week, another sneaky “Euphoria” Easter egg hidden among the drama. During season two’s sixth episode, Rue (Zendaya) wears an oversize Malcolm X graphic tee that fans on Twitter instantly clocked as a rare find hailing from the clothing brand Mosquitohead, but the sartorial choice isn’t just a tribute to the late civil rights leader in honor of Black History Month - it’s also a subtle callback to a past conversation Rue had with Ali (Colman Domingo). To really appreciate this full-circle moment, let’s rewind to the first of two “Euphoria” special episodes, “Trouble Don’t Last Always,” which aired in December 2020. While Rue and Ali converse over pancakes at a diner on Christmas Eve, Ali touches on Malcolm X’s personal journey to effecting social change and how America was generally more receptive to Martin Luther King Jr.’s…

The New Fall Dressing Rules, According to Christian Siriano

February 14, 2022 at 10:00PM On the concourse level of the Empire State Building on Saturday night, the anticipation was high for Christian Siriano, one of the most recognizable designers on the New York Fashion Week calendar. “What is real anymore?” the show notes read, proposing a timely question as we slowly emerge from a pandemic that has rewritten dressing codes and overhauled the fashion industry as we know it. “Some days feel like we are living in the Victorian era, while others feel like we’re living in the Matrix,” Siriano continued. His proposition? The Victorian Matrix. Models paraded in extravagant silhouettes - some wearable, some avant-garde - drenched in a classic autumnal palette of black and deep blue. There was lots of patent leather fashioned into an asymmetric dress, a power suit, a bow-front strapless midi, and even long “Bridgerton”-inspired gloves. Elsewhere,…

Rue Proves That Healing Isn’t Supposed to be Linear in Euphoria

February 14, 2022 at 09:26PM Euphoria is Gen Z’s headlining production, and Zendaya is its shining star. The actor has continued to captivates viewers of the HBO drama (now in its second season) with her performance as Rue Bennett, a recovering drug addict. Rue is the series’ unreliable narrator, bringing levity as she takes viewers through the messy web of side plots in Euphoria. As the leading character, fans of the show are most intimately familiar with Rue: she can be goofy and loveable one moment, and manipulative and cruel the next. She’s nuanced and complex, and her style is too. Photo courtesy of Eddy Chen/HBOUnlike her teen peers in the hyper-glamourized Euphoria universe, Rue’s outfits are practical. Always paired with her high-top black Converse, she mainly wears hoodies, graphic oversized tees, basketball shorts or cargo pants, and has an affinity for layering…
