Hay Fever: AKT’s theatrical new deodorant that knows how to perform
When you put deodorant and drama in the same sentence – it usually isn’t a good thing. But Hay Fever is the rare exception. AKT’s new limited-edition deodorant balm is as theatrical as it sounds. It was unveiled earlier this June at The Ambassadors – the same theatre where Hay Fever premiered in 1925 –…

Yes, hair perfume exists – and ARKIVE makes it worth trying
When was the last time you deliberately spritzed perfume into your hair? I mean an actual scent made just for your hair? Exactly. I didn’t think I was the kind of person who needed hair perfume either. It always felt like the kind of extra reserved for people with colour-coded wardrobes and Diptyque candles they…

MAC must-haves: The iconic products we love the most
MAC is the backstage staple, the makeup artist’s first love, and the counter we wandered up to in our teenage years, praying the assistant wouldn’t clock our £12 budget. Founded in Toronto in 1984 by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo, MAC (Make-up Art Cosmetics, if you didn’t know) was built for pros. Literally. It started…

Can the Tata Harper moisturiser fix my dry skin? I tested it to see
I’ve always been suspicious of moisturisers that claim to be both “lightweight” and “fortifying.” In my experience, you usually have to pick a lane. Either you go for the kind of rich, heavy cream that sticks to your face like butter, or you opt for something light and silky (which usually vanishes on contact). Tata…

I’m going coco-nuts for Palmer’s new Brazilian Coco Cream
If I could bottle up the smell of a beach holiday, I’d probably bathe in it twice a day and still spritz it on my pillow at night. There’s just something about the smell of coconut that takes me back to my favourite summer trip (Playa del Carmen, 2024). Here’s a little disclaimer: I am…
