Look, I really do get the appeal of beauty advent calendars. To start with, they are actually very good value for money. Often containing product worth double the RRP of the calendar, buying a beauty advent calendar is the perfect way to try new products and save some money while you’re at it. Secondly, I think […]
As someone who possesses very little skill when it comes to makeup application, I must admit that I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with the art. I could watch people applying their makeup for hours on end and frantically save every beautiful makeup look that comes my way on Instagram. And this is never truer than […]
We can’t get enough of knitwear at the moment. Through these dark early days of the year, wrapping yourself in wool really is the only answer. If, like us, you’re feeling a little uninspired with your current sweater collection (or worse—you’ve realised you have moths), there’s no need to panic. Why? Because winter 2021 is the season for knitwear […]
A core part of my job as a fashion editor is being good at spotting trends; commonalities in our shopping patterns, the clothes we choose to wear, and even how we wear them. This eye for detail serves me well; I can find Where’s Wally in record-time, for one thing. However, it mostly comes in handy is when I’m […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m all for party season this year. Ordinarily, I tend to avoid overly loud or statement clothes, but after being denied it in 2020, I’m intent on embracing party dressing in all its high-octane glory. With work dinners, drinks with friends, and lots of reasons to celebrate on the horizon, […]
It’s a universally known fact amongst women that finding the perfect tights is darn near impossible. All those ladders and saggy crotches of our youth have left us scarred, tarnishing all future winter outfit choices and party seasons to come. Let alone shapewear— have you ever tried squeezing on a pair of too-small ‘shorts’ before […]
I have a confession. I’ve written a lot of day-to-night makeup articles in my time. You’ll see them crop up around this time of year when Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve are on everybody’s mind. While I do sometimes need a soft-to-sultry eye shadow or a vibe-changing blush to liven up my face, in real life, […]
There are areas of our bodies that we would all like a bit of extra control on, whether it’s a bit of lift in the bust or butt or a little added support in our hips and thigh area. There’s certainly nothing wrong, either, with turning to a pair of Spanx or shaping shorts when you’re in […]
There’s a lot to be learned on TikTok. From innovative recipes to dance routines and homeware hacks, the app is essentially a one-stop shop for tutorials and how-tos, no matter the subject. In fact, learning is such a large part of the platform’s ethos the hashtag #LearnOnTikTok currently has over 200 billion views. As the […]
As a beauty journalist who is inherently lazy when it comes to my makeup routine (I’m all about easy-to-use cream products), I must admit that I have never been particularly sold on the whole contour trend. For those who aren’t au fait with the concept of contouring, the premise is actually quite simple. It involves applying cool-toned, […]
