  • For her: These are the coolest beauty gift sets under £50 this Christmas

    ,

    By the time December rolls around, it feels like 80% of our brainpower is spent on one thing: gifts. Who still needs one? What will actually impress the mother-in-law?

  • The best eyeshadow palettes for the perfect autumnal look

    Pumpkin spice and everything nice. That’ll pretty much be the unofficial slogan until December (at least!), whether you’re all about oversized jumpers, hot chai lattes, pumpkin carving, and cosy nights in… or you’re still mourning the long, sunny days of summer.

The brand’s identity is simple: saturated shades,…

  • Time to shine: Kulfi’s shimmery eyeshadows (and more) are now available in the UK

    I like makeup that packs a punch. If I’m giving up 20 minutes of my morning to put on a face, I want payoff: actual light-catching shimmer, colour that doesn’t blend into nothing, and textures that behave. And thankfully, Kulfi’s founder, Priyanka, seems to be in agreement. When I first tried Sitara Sparkles, one of…

  • More than meets the eye: These are the best mascaras for 2025, tried and tested

    Your favourite mascara works harder than Kris Jenner did when launching Kim Kardashian’s model career. And it should.
