It’s not hard to remember a time when acids were confined to chemistry class or the weapon of choice for Bond villains. Nasty, dangerous liquids that you wouldn’t want anywhere near you, let alone on your face. Fast forward a few years, and chemical exfoliants containing just that have gone mainstream, stepping out of medical

Thanks to the streaming revolution and the birth of binge-watching, we have access to more TV than ever before. And with the likes of Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime constantly dropping new, original content, our ‘to watch’ list is ever growing at a rate we just can’t keep up with. We don’t mean to

We wouldn’t be surprised if the current time period, specifically the late 2010s to the early 2020s, is one day branded as the age of comebacks. From ’90s revivals to the return of questionable early-aughts trends—to this season’s continuing ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s renaissance—the fashion industry has been heavy-handedly leaning into the culture’s growing obsession

My earliest memory of sun cream is in the fifth grade in the US, the summer I earned a much-coveted trip to NASA Space Camp. I’ll never forget standing under the sun in the deep South as my classmates passed around a bottle of SPF. I slathered myself in a generous helping and began to

Treat yourself *and* support LGBTQ+ causes It’s Pride month and while festivities may be postponed due to COVID-19, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate virtually from the comfort of our home by hopping into Club Quarantine’s virtual pride launch party or checking out SodaStream’s virtual drag brunch. Something we can also do from home? Online shop. But

Net-A-Porter has long dominated the luxury fashion market – in our minds and in the minds of every other fashion-lover on the planet. The e-commerce giant houses a vast range of designers from The Row to Prada, and countless smaller labels like Faithful The Brand and Copenhagen-based Ganni. We’re forever placing orders. These are the

We’ve all become a bit eyebrow obsessed in the last few years. Gone are the over-plucked, over-pencilled squiggly lines, we’ve since realised (yep, our mums were right) that big brows are in thanks to their youthful, face-framing abilities. Those of us in the brow-obsessed category will know, while they may be fuller than their teenage

With the promise of sun just around the corner – and the faintest whisper of a lift on lockdown at least somewhere on the horizon – we’d be lying if we said our mind immediately wandered to our wardrobes. The last time we were seen in public (and we don’t mean by strangers 2 metres

OK so…I’m just going to say it, and once I’ve said it, don’t be mad at me, because DEEP DOWN, you know it’s true….alright?? Summer 2020 is cancelled. I know, I know, it sucks. I also know “air bridges” are being discussed, airlines are trying to get back on their wings and the 14 day

No nail appointment, no problem With nail salons across the country closed for the foreseeable future, there’s never been a better time to take our manicures into our own hands. If you’ve already mastered gel polish removal and salon-quality manis, why not give one of these simple nail art ideas a try? All you need to get

When we first entered into lockdown on the 23rd of March, no one really anticipated or planned for us to still be here over two and a half months later. While we were busy stockpiling toilet roll, few of us were future-planning our contraception to see us through weeks and weeks of staying home. Even

Breaking News Starbucks is now saying “my bad,” and will allow employees to wear Black Lives Matter attire … after getting intense backlash for banning it. The coffee store giant announced Friday morning it’s reversing its policy prohibiting workers from wearing anything highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement. And, to take things a step further

Madeleine Allbright once said; “there is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” Turns out that special place is reality TV. Last week I greedily binged the second season of Selling Sunset– the latest Netflix scripted reality show from the creators of the original big hitters; Laguna Beach and The

These days, if you’re not a pogonophile yourself, there’s a fair chance you know someone who is. (We’ll wait here while you Google it.) Brushing off claims that peak beard has been and passed, the facial hair trend is here to stay. And with beards now a firm part of men’s facial furniture, the emphasis

Having a baby in a global pandemic is not anyone’s idea of ideal timing. There is the panic of an already scary and stressful time made worse by the heightened risks of Covid-19. There is the fact that grandparents are often restricted from seeing the baby, that birth partners have only limited time in the

Getty Images Style icons have worn every cut and brand of denim for decades. Brigitte Bardot wore her cropped Levi’s with ease; Lauren Hutton paired her all-American denim skirt with a white tee; and nothing came between Brooke Shields and her Calvin Klein jeans. In honor of the seasonless staple, we’ve compiled the best vintage

If there was one shade rising up the ranks as the hottest hair trend of 2020, it’s red. Blonde and brunette may have dominated the space, but finally, red is firmly having its moment in the sun. Just this week, Dua Lipa debuted a brand new, bright cherry bob that’s just about convinced us to

In this case, size absolutely matters A new pair of crisp white sneakers. A fresh and breezy linen dress. A cheeky pair of Canadian-designed earrings to spice up your daily Zoom calls. These things might seem superficial, but I’m a firm believer in the mood-boosting power of these sartorial cuties. And you know what’s sparking

If you’ve been feeling bereft of TV drama since binge-watching the entirety of Normal People, or wondering what you’re going to watch after I May Destroy You, then we have good news: The Luminaries is set to be your latest TV obsession. The six-part BBC adaptation of The Luminaries is based on Eleanor Catton’s 2013

Courtesy of Chanel “Initially I had Capri in mind, where the show was supposed to take place, but didn’t happen in the end because of lockdown,” says creative director Virginie Viard, “So we had to adapt: not only did we decide to use fabrics that we already had, but the collection, more generally, evolved towards

Under normal circumstances, a hand mask might feel like a froufrou extravagance, but as we know, self care has become the horse and chariot carrying us sedately through weeks of lockdown. Not only because it fills the hours we’d otherwise be drinking vino with our mates at Pizza Express, but also because our hands have

We’re deep into quarantine, and top of mind for many people is their hair. And no, we’re not talking about the hair on our head. At more than thirteen weeks into COVID-19 lockdown, avid waxers are likely experiencing serious withdrawal when it comes to their monthly or bi-monthly hair removal, and wondering if they can take the

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past two years (or cutting down on your social media intake – in which case, you’re excused), you’ve probably heard whispers of Trinny Woodall’s eponymous beauty brand, Trinny London. It only launched two years ago, but in such a short time the brand has enjoyed sell-out

Breaking News Reese Witherspoon is taking some legal heat for a dress giveaway to teachers during the early days of the pandemic, and the lawsuit reads like the ultimate case of no good deed goes unpunished. Three women are putting together a class-action lawsuit against Reese and her Draper James clothing company for their highly-publicized

As the topic of racial inequality and prejudice dominates public discourse it also brings the subject of unconscious bias back into the spotlight. It’s a phrase that has been used so frequently it has almost become a trendy buzzword. But what exactly does unconscious bias mean? GLAMOUR spoke to behavioural scientist and writer Dr Pragya

If you haven’t already, you’re about to get up close and personal with a new and essential accessory: your face mask. Now that the government has made them compulsory on public transport (and word on the street is they’re going to be recommended as a precaution more widely), the likelihood is, you’ll be wearing yours

Amplifying Black voices involves more than just collectively heralding it in the streets. Indeed, it is a great start, but to really stimulate continuing change and repeal systemic racism in myriad industries, those in positions of power and influence need to put their money where their mouths are. This is what Aurora James was requesting

If you thought Selfridges only sold designer clothes, then you’d be right. With the exception of Topshop, the brands stocked in and sold by Selfridges are ones you’d no doubt consider ‘wishlist’ and ‘treat buys’… but what if we told you that there are actually a lot of beautiful pieces that cost about the same
