20 Anti-Ageing Night Creams That Actually Work
While you might be getting ready to sleep at night, this is when your skin is gearing up to do it’s biggest job—it does its best work at night; restoring, rejuvenating and recharging. That is why, more than ever, your evening routine needs to create the perfect environment for your skin to do its thing. When designing your evening routine, implementing an effective night cream will not only round off your skincare steps but aid your skin to do all the aforementioned work it needs to do. The products that you’ll more likely see results from are often formulated with stronger ingredients and richer textures to stand the course of several hours compared to a serum or day moisturiser. More often than not we seek a night cream that combats the trials of the day and offers other benefits such as...
2021 Audi Q5 First Look: Audi Refines Its Compact Crossover
We like the Audi Q5 a lot, and so do consumers. Its the company’s best-selling vehicle in the United States, and that’s because it’s a genuine crowd-pleaser. Its upscale yet understated looks inside and out, useful tech features, and combination of comfort and performance strike a great balance in a segment with tough competition. After all, the Q5 faces off against the sporty BMW X3, the sleek Mercedes-Benz GLC, the athletic Acura RDX, and the luxurious Lexus NX. And don’t forget the stylish Volvo XC60, either. The 2021 Q5 is not a ground-up redesign but a facelift of the model that Audi introduced for 2018. It’s a refinement of a formula we already know works well, with some tech upgrades and exterior additions. More on that in a bit. See all 28 photos ...

Dodge, never a brand to shy away from patriotic marketing, has something big to tell us on Thursday. But until then, you’ll just have to play this maximum ‘Murica teaser on repeat. A brief release accompanying the teaser informs us Dodge will drop three more teaser videos on Wednesday, July 1, one each on its Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. A final teaser image will be released on the morning of Thursday, July 2, before the big announcement, which will stream live on Dodge.com later that day at 12 p.m. eastern time. What’s the big news? Dodge promises a complete look at its 2021 performance lineup, which we take to mean the Journey won’t be getting a mention. The mostly muscle car brand claims its expanding performance portfolio will offer a combined 8,95...
I’m a Modern Mystic—Here’s How I’ve Been Making My Skin Routine More Mindful
When’s the last time you actually spent some quality time with your skin? Actually taking your time to notice how each product feels on your skin and just noticing how your skin feels underneath your fingertips. As you apply your face oil (again, you can do this outside of the bathroom if you have more time), you’re going to really pay attention to your skin as you massage it in. Pour a few drops of oil into the palm of your hand, feel its texture, temperature, and weight and breathe in the scent. Then close your eyes and pat the oil in. As you massage the oil into your skin, you can spend some time in gratitude, thanking your skin for protecting you, for being the largest organ in your body, for being a barrier, repairing and regenerating itself and allow...

6 Outfits That Will Make You Feel Like You’re on Holiday Even If You’re Not
We are living in unprecedented times, and while summer’s past might have brought with them the yearn to travel and the excitement of planned vacations, this year things are a little more uncertain. While we may not have tickets booked to tropical locations or plans for basking in the sunshine on a Mediterranean island, there’s no reason we can’t still make the most of our holiday wardrobes. From bucket hats to basket bags and kaftans to maxi dresses, many of the items we consider hero pieces while vacation, tend to get neglected in our everyday lives. Though, this summer, without the promise of a vacation ahead, I’m advocating to change that notion. Whether it be swapping your usual canvas shopping tote for the raffia bag you take to the beach or...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and This Is My Daily Beauty Routine From Start to Finish
I have to admit that by beauty editor standards, my beauty routine is relatively low-key. Don’t get me wrong—I love an at-home beauty treatment just as much as the next person, but finding the time to sit down and spend hours upon hours tending to my skin, hair, nails and makeup isn’t so easy. And besides the time aspect of things, I also find myself getting bored very quickly. If you ask me, I’d say that my daily beauty routine is just like any other person’s, but perhaps with just a bit more product variety. Then, every so often, I get a reality check. It turns out that actually, for most, a structured beauty routine doesn’t go that far beyond a daily cleansing (often just with a face wipe or micellar water) and moisturising. But that was before. Now, everyo...
Blackpink’s Rosé Looks Pretty In Monochrome In New Saint Laurent Campaign
On Friday (June 26), the four ladies of Blackpink — Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo — dropped their sizzling, long-awaited single, “How You Like That,” the first track off their forthcoming studio album, scheduled for release in September.

And on Monday (June 29), Rosé delivered. The group’s singer&nb...
I Scoured Joseph’s Summer Sale—These Are the Best Pieces

The Lesser-Known Brand is Creating the Happiest Summer Staples
First of all, I am very much aware that Marimekko isn’t exactly a ‘hot off the press’ brand—in fact, according to its website, it’s been around since 1951, outstripping my lifetime by a good 40 years. Not too shabby really. Unusually, it’s one of those brands that hasn’t ever really deviated from its original formula: aka fashion designs in vibrant, abstract prints. Long before the likes of Stine Goya or Ganni, Finnish-based Marimekko was repping the Scandi aesthetic. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The Unexpected Place I’m Getting All of My Outfit Inspo From This Summer
While it is certainly low on the priority list right now, as a fashion editor, there is something a little sad about not being able to stroll along the streets of London and add to my mental portfolio of outfit inspiration via the well-dressed individuals that pass me by. It’s one of the lovely things about living and working in a city known for its eclecticism and creativity. So in the meantime, I just have to make do with the avenues available to me. Of course, there are the usual go-tos such as Instagram and Pinterest, which provide endless fashion cues for my summer wardrobe. However, there is one category I use which might surprise some people, and that’s e-commerce sites. Not all platforms are made equal, obviously, but I’...
If You’re Overdue a Waxing, Here’s Your No-Fuss Guide to At-Home Hair Removal
For me, hair removal is without a doubt the most time-consuming, expensive and annoying part of my beauty routine. You see, I’m naturally a very hairy person. So much so that I’ve been frequenting my local salon once a month for a face waxing since my early teens. However, as I have got older, my beauty priorities have started to shift. Whereas once upon a time having perfectly groomed brows, silky smooth legs and a preened bikini line justified huge expense and effort, more recently I have found myself seeking cheaper, less time-consuming hair removal methods. And I’m pleased that I got a head start. With salons shut, we have no choice but to turn to at-home hair removal methods. Luckily, I have already dedicated a great deal of time to perfecting my routine, and it’s ...
