December 20, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we get into this, we would like to preface this article by saying that no one needs to spend loads of money on skincare. When it comes to skincare, pricier doesn’t always mean better. You can get great skincare products for less than a tenner that will help get your skin on track and keep it looking as healthy as possible. With that being said, some of the best skincare products out there do come with hefty price tags, but an eye-watering price doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being ripped off. You see, when we’re talking about highly specialised ingredients, formulating a great product that actually works requires huge amounts of research, resources and knowledge, and that takes cash. One of the most highly regarded skincare brands to fall into this super-luxe, super-efficacious category is Dr. Barbara Sturm.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a…

December 20, 2021 at 06:30AM It’s true that the re-emergence of era-defining trends in the worlds of both fashion and beauty is nothing new—this year alone we’ve seen the rise of charmingly retro ‘70s-inspired nail art, ‘80s-esque colour block eyeshadow and ‘90s hair accessories to name a few. But there’s something about trends rolling around again when you truly lived them the first time that just feels different. Yet that is exactly what’s happening with the resurgence of Y2K beauty. Thanks in huge part to TikTok where the #Y2K hashtag has over 3.8 billion views, Gen Z have rediscovered some of those turn-of-the-millennium trends and are giving them a new lease of life. And while I never thought I’d be pleased to seen the return of frosty eyeshadows, skinny brows, or excessive amounts of lip liner, I have to say that some of the Y2K makeup looks…

December 20, 2021 at 06:30AM If I could live in any decade, it would hands down be the ‘70s—not because I find anything about the way of life particularly endearing, but rather I’m absolutely head over heels for the aesthetic. From flared jeans to supersized sunglasses, when it comes to '70s fashion, I’m all in.However, as a beauty editor, I feel somewhat inclined to say that the single best thing about the '70s was the hair. I’m so obsessed with '70s hairstyles, in fact, that I have rocked the same '70s-style, long, middle-parted mop for well over 10 years. But it’s not just super-long hair that really defined the decade. Everything from shaggy lengths and fringes to blunt bobs and picked-out afros have remained some of the most timeless hairstyles around. And next year, it’s looking as though '70s hair is going to be everywhere.Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling for 20 '70s-inspired hairstyles that will…

December 20, 2021 at 06:22AM Some people have dealt with the last 18 months of the pandemic and lockdowns by partaking in simple pursuits such as binging every episode of Succession or embarking upon a couch-to-5k mission. But for British actress Hannah John-Kamen, the solution to COVID-19 angst was to kick zombies in the face.“I shot two movies, Unwelcome with Douglas Booth (a horror which will be released next year) and Resident Evil,” the 32-year-old says while enveloped in the squishy cushions of a corner booth at London’s Shoreditch House. “I literally had one day between going out to Canada to isolate for two weeks to shoot Resident Evil. Weirdly, shooting a zombie movie during a pandemic made sense in a very odd, peculiar way. It was really good for the soul.”The seventh installment of the video game–inspired Resident Evil movie franchise, Resident…

December 20, 2021 at 06:09AM Boot season used to be confined to the winter months, but not anymore. From cowboy boots at festivals to knee-highs worn with mini hemlines, fashion types have cemented boots as a year-round shoe staple. Of course, this isn’t news to Brit girls—our changeable weather (even in the height of summer) means that we keep our boots within arm’s reach at all times. So, it makes sense that boots should be included in any conversations we’re starting to have about spring/summer 2022 trends where, yes, boots were prevalent on the runway. More brands than ever showcased boots in their spring collections, and I was struck by just how fresh they felt. Fashions haven’t progressed as quickly as they usually would over the past few seasons, but 2022 marks a distinct shift in type of trends we’re seeing—particularly where boots are concerned. Yes, practicality and…

December 20, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to British fashion institutions, you don’t get much more iconic than good ol' Marks and Spencer. It’s been there for us at every stage of life—from school shoes and first bras to grown-up winter coats and fail-safe accessories. Not content to be known just for its underwear offering, however, this high-street giant has spent the last decade or so upping its style game, creating trend-led lines such as Autograph to please the fashion crowd.As a team, we’re not embarrassed to admit that we are M&S superfans, and we’re always the first to spot and snap up a trend from the site. Each of us has a specific product that we always return to season after season, be it winter coats, cosy loungewear or chunky boots—it’s the ultimate proof of the brand’s versatility and how its appeal…
