These Are the Affordable Products Makeup Artists Swear By
And truthfully, I felt a bit annoyed at the price tag too. There’s absolutely no doubt about it: £60 for a makeup product is obscene money. And sure, if you have the money to spend, I think a lot of the pricier products are worth it, but shouldn’t great makeup be accessible to everyone? The truth is there are so many amazing makeup products out there that have high-end results without a high-end price tag. So in a bid to give fabulous affordable makeup the shout-out that it deserves, I reached out to some of the best makeup artists in the business to get their opinion on the best affordable products out there. Keep scrolling to discover the affordable makeup products they swear by. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating sh...
2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye First Look: The Baddest-Ass Sedan in the World—Period
Let’s face it, the name “2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat” really lacks length and gravitas, especially for something with 707 horsepower. Luckily, Dodge has rectified that situation, adding one more word to the moniker—Redeye—while also pouring 90 more horsepower into this four-door doom sled. Still, you had to see this coming. After all, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat offers a Redeye version (the most powerful iteration since the demise of the Demon) and shouldn’t the mechanically similar, four-door Charger sedan be extended the same opportunity? It’s also in keeping with the Dodge playbook of keeping its relatively aged lineup of cars fresh by constantly pumping them full of ‘roids. And so the 2021 Dodge Charger Redeye offers 797 h...
Maserati Unveils the 621-HP V-6 Heart of Its MC20 Supercar
Maserati’s not dead yet, and the Italian automaker hopes its upcoming MC20 supercar proves it’s still got some fight left in it. While Maserati’s yet to reveal its new model, the brand is finally showing off what will power the mid-engined car. Meet the Nettuno, Maserati’s new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine. Armed with 621 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque, the engine—which Maserati plans to produce in Modena, Italy—is sure to push the MC20 to triple-digit speeds with relative ease. Thanks to its 90-degree architecture, 11.0:1 compression ratio, and surely rev-happy nature (power peaks at 7,500 rpm), the Nettuno engine will likely sound as good—if not better—as the forthcoming MC20 ought to look. See all 18 photos Given Maserati’s desire to enter the MC...
My Best Friend Has Incredible Skin—This Is the £15 Foundation She Swears By
When I finally asked Lotte what foundation she used (it only took me over a decade), I wasn’t expecting it to be a No7 product. So what is it about this foundation in particular that Lotte loves? She told me that while she can’t remember how she discovered it, when she went into a shop to be shade-matched, she was pleasantly surprised they had a shade pale enough for her. She went on to tell me that part of the reason she’s so obsessed with it is down to the coverage. It’s not too heavy and still allows her skin to shine through. She uses three pumps daily and blends it into her skin using a Beautyblender. The result? A super-even, fresh finish. Lotte says, “If I had a pound for every time someone had mentioned how great my skin looked and what found...
5 Sandals That Are Trending for Summer 2020
Just because we’re mainly staying inside our houses, balconies or (if we’re lucky) gardens, that doesn’t mean we can’t still spend five minutes looking at shoes. Anything too high or too sparkly is retiring to the back of our wardrobes, for the time being, but sandals (once they are sufficiently worn in, of course) can conveniently double as slippers. We’ve already brought you the sandal trends that are leading this year, but there are five sandal styles, in particular, that I keep spotting on my Instagram feed. One pair is close to our hearts, as Who What Wear has just launched shoes. Our thong sandals in white, snake and black have been particularly popular with our friends. Arizona Love’s Velcro-strap sandals are as cheery as they get thanks...
This Parisian Just Showed Me Her Epic Shoe Collection
There is honestly no great mystery as to why some people possess an all-encompassing love for shoes. It’s because even when you’re wearing an outfit that makes you feel a bit meh, a great pair of shoes can suddenly make it feel perfect. But there are a few people who have really curated an impeccable shoe wardrobe. One such person is Ellie Delphine, also known as Slip Into Style. The influencer and stylist is originally from Martinique but is currently living in Paris. I’ve been a follower of her page for over a year and her knack of not just finding the coolest new shoes, but knowing how to style them is rarely rivalled. (She’d give Carrie Bradshaw a run for her, well, shoes.) It’s why I decided to interview her on all things footwear and glean some...
If You Love Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream, You’ll Want to Try the New Serum
And I can vouch for it. Over the past week or so, I have been using Magic Serum every single day before applying my makeup, and honestly, it’s all I ever wanted. It delivers the perfecting qualities of Magic Cream (glowing hydration, refined pores, smoothed texture), just without the threat of oily breakouts. My only niggle? Much like the original Magic Cream, I’m still not entirely sure how it fits into an evening routine. While the brand recommends application both morning and night, a quick glance over the ingredient list leaves me conflicted. Sure, both products are jam-packed with skin-loving goodness, but they also contain perfecting ingredients that could be potentially pore-clogging and are largely unnecessary for pre-bed application. However, if you’re willing...
Lamborghini Legend Valentino Balboni Reflects on EVs and the Future of Cars
Valentino Balboni was Lamborghini’s chief test driver for 33 years, testing everything from the Lamborghini Countach to the Gallardo. For fans of the brand, his name is synonymous with driving 12-cylinder cars nearly 200 mph on public roads (legally). Lamborghini even built a special Balboni edition Gallardo after he retired from the company. When we caught up with him, though, he was test driving and consulting on a very different kind of performance car: an electric vehicle called the Drako GTE. MotorTrend: I think this will surprise a lot of people because you are so well known for your time with Lamborghini, and this is very, very different than what Lamborghini does. The question people will ask is: Why are you interested in EVs? See all 9 photos Valentino Balboni: Good question...
Indian Farmers are Using Dance Music to Fight Against Invading Locusts
Due to an unprecedented number of locust invasions on their farmlands, many Indian farmers are resorting to unorthodox means of fighting against the pesky insects, which are decimating their crops. According to a report published in Singapore-based news outlet The Straits Times, farmers are lighting firecrackers, clanging pots and pans, and even blasting electronic dance music in their efforts to ward off the locusts. The locust invasions are the worst that farmers have seen in the last 26 years and local officials have struggled mightily in their efforts to contain them. Swarms reportedly began to migrate from Pakistan and Iran back in April following the worst outbreak in decades in eastern Africa, which was precipitated by high rainfall and, in turn, favorable breeding weather. In...
Fashion Girls Will Basically Live in These Outfits This July
There’s no denying that temperatures have been slow to climb this season, but we’re not going to let a little thing like the weather get us down. In fact, we’re embracing summer with open (blouson-sleeved) arms, particularly where our wardrobes are concerned. But what exactly are we supposed to wear in July when it’s glorious sunshine one minute, then grey skies the next? After trawling through the Instagram accounts of our favourite influencers, we managed to come up with six looks that are ideal for any sort of weather July might throw at us. From the ultimate cool-girl cover-up for chilly evenings to the It dress that’ll serve you on the beach and at the bar, there are plenty of ideas you’ll want to copy immediately. Consider the following your J...
This Brand Has Convinced Me That Clogs Are Cool
Of all the microtrends that have popped up this summer the daisy trend has to be my favourite. I’m often not so bothered by ostentatious, overly pretty florals but I’ve had a change of heart. The reason? It’s all to do with one brand in particular: Fabrizio Viti. The Italian designer might not be a name you immediately know but you will instantly recognise the fashion houses he’s created footwear for—from Gucci to Prada, he now remains the Shoe Style Director of Louis Vuitton where he’s been since 2004. It’s no surprise then that his eponymous label, which he launched in 2016, has given us a host of incredibly chic shoes. This season, my favourites have been the daisy-adorned clogs, pastel yellow and tan daisy heels and two-strap sandals....
If You’re a Glossier Fan and Have Oily Skin, This New Product Is For You
When I lived in New York City, every trip I made to come back to England involved a suitcase filled with bagels, Oreos and Glossier. While there’s definitely been some questionable Oreo flavours, I’ve never met a Glossier product that I’ve not liked. They recently launched their Priming Moisturizer Balance, to add to the other pair in the moisturiser family. The OG that is the Priming Moisturizer and the super luxe big sister, Priming Moisturizer Rich. So let’s talk balance. I didn’t think I needed this one as the other two are staples in my routine. I use the original on days when I want a light base and I use the rich one, when my skin is feeling dry and deprived of dewiness. Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer Balance is slated to wo...
