As skincare sleuths, we love nothing more than discovering a new beauty brand – and we’ve just caught wind of a pretty major one.

When it comes to winter, there are some purchases that should never be scrimped on. Things like a good duvet, the better half’s Christmas gift, and preemptively booking a personal trainer for January in an attempt to deflate the yuletide paunch.

From the valid financial concerns (which products are worth the splurge, anyway?) to which ingredients should and shouldn’t be mixed, not to mention the entire concept of 10-step routines, there’s a whole world of
Going to see Magic Mike Live! should come with a thirst warning. You will leave not even parched but in fact, severely dehydrated. Whilst the show could be classed as a ‘stripping’ show it goes beyond that with body defying dance routines and in our complex world it’s a welcome form of escapism. All things
I’ve always liked to think that I’m pretty good at doing my own makeup. I started wearing makeup quite young (I had very bad teenage acne) and instantly fell in love with it, so enjoyed experimenting and perfecting my technique.

Holiday office parties mean different things to different folks. For some, it’s after-hours drinks and getting a wee bit tipsy with colleagues—and spilling the tea.

Trousers maketh man, a great man once told us. Or was it manners? Whichever it was, we’re sure he’d agree that a good pair of slacks can be transformative.
