If you want to take a good selfie, any phone that takes a reverse image might give you a bit of shock.

After all, that’s how you look to other people (even if you don’t look that way to yourself in the mirror).

If you’re a little self conscious about your nose, rest assured knowing that there are calls for big nose positivity, 

And anyway it could be your phone that’s making your nose look bigger.

Why do the things we love the most hurt us?

Selfies make our conks look almost a third bigger – and have fuelled a dramatic rise in… Read the full story

If you thought Kim Kardashian’s traditional outfits for Vogue India was stunning then you clearly have good fashion taste.

And for those of you who don’t know the designer brand – Sabysatchi – behind the incredible looks, then prepare to have your breath taken away with their spectacular Indian attire.

Calcutta designer Sabyasatchi Mukherjee dropped the Endless Summer collection on Instagram last week, choosing to forgo the usual format of runway shows (and thankful we are)

The high end saris, lehengas, complete with long necklines, vintage embroideries, bursts of florals, are a combination of Mukerjee’s signature staples and old world nostalgia.

This giant neon uterus has got us wondering why we didn’t get something like this sooner.

If you’re going to be stuck in LA’s famous traffic, you might as well marvel at a 43 feet tall uterus. What else is there to do?

The design, named Champ, is Zoe Buckman’s first public art installation, on view for one year starting 27 February at The Standard, Hollywood.

The east Londoner’s artwork has gone all the way to America where she has found much success with her designs.

How talking therapy and CBT helped me come off antidepressants safely

A few years ago, I was hit with depression.

I self-soothed with artificial highs; alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, anything I could get my hands on, relying on temporary fixes to inject something other than despair and nothingness into my daily life.

I welcomed back an old pal, anorexia, when it reared its ugly head, taking advantage of my broken self-esteem, and I kept myself constantly busy, relying on the fact that if I couldn’t stop and think, I wouldn’t have to feel.

If it’s good enough for Mo Farah, it’s good enough for us lot.

Quorn is the meat-free alternative that vegetarians and carnivores alike love.

Throw the mince substitute into your bolognese or have a sausage and mash without the meat – and with a fair few less calories too.

There’s even a vegan range, so everybody can get involved.

But what’s it actually made of?

A talking baby is usually a very cute sight – unless, of course, it’s in some form of horror movie.

Everybody seems to have a story about when they started talking.

Whether your first word was ‘crisps’ at four months, or you didn’t speak a single word until three years old, there’s no real normal for how and when a baby should start talking.

There are a few things you should look for as your baby grows, though, so you can check they’re staying on track developmentally.

Hey, remember a month or so back when Beyoncé went to the Grammys, it was revealed her makeup was all Glossier, and we promptly lost our cool and wanted to cover ourselves the exact same products?

The only issue was that, while we could buy all the other bits on her face, one Glossier product used for Beyoncé’s look was kept top secret.

We assumed it was an eyeshadow… and it turns out we were right.

Glossier’s confirmed that their brand new product is Lidstar, a glistening eye glow.

It’s the Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, also known as the biggest event in film.

There are many big questions to be answered.

Will anyone chat to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet in the midst of allegations of sexual harassment?

Who’s going to win best actor? And which film will get the top honour?

And will there be another Moonlight-style messup like we had last year?

Breakfast, hey. The saying goes that it’s the most important meal of the day, but it’s often the one you have the least time to prepare or enjoy.

Most us know that starting the day with a healthy meal is important – in fact, a study carried out by MailOnline in association with Nestlé found that 4 out of 5 parents are in total agreement.

81% of people also said they agree that eating breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels while 43% say that skipping breakfast leads to snacking and 39% say it means they feel more tired later.

Excuse me, sorry, but while we really do care about what everyone’s wearing on the Oscars red carpet, we’re afraid the most important outfit of the night has already happened.

Adam Rippon, Olympic figure skater, wore a leather harness with his tux on the Oscars red carpet.

We repeat, Adam Rippon, the gay figure skater who has won the world’s hearts by calling himself a ‘glamazon bitch ready for the runway’, slamming Mike Pence, and being supremely talented, is wearing a leather harness on the red… Read the full story

Ever since Rose Tico showed up to ask Finn what he was up to, we’ve been madly in love with Kelly Marie Tran.

She’s not just a delight on screen – the actress is pretty glorious IRL, too.

Part of the reason we love her is how bloody enthusiastic she is. Tonight Kelly attended her first ever awards show, the Oscars (no big deal), and straight up beamed on the red carpet.

For her first proper red carpet appearance, Kelly absolutely nailed it, wearing an ice blue Jenny Packham gown with an embellished bodice and layers of tulle.

It’s basically a real-life Cinderella dress. You can’t get much better than that.

Oscars red carpet fashion can get a little same-y.

There’s only so many times you can get excited over a nude floor length dress with embellishment, you know?

That’s why we always need one person to shake it up a bit.

Usually it’s Blanca Blanco wearing something attention-grabbing and, erm, political, but this year she’s gone fairly pared back.

Instead, the most out-there look of the night so far is St. Vincent’s.

Blown away by Tiffany Haddish’s look for the Oscars red carpet?

Same.

But Tiffany’s look has greater significance than just being absolutely stunning – she said on the red carpet that her outfit is in tribute to her father, who died last year.

Tiffany said that before her dad passed away, he assured her that she’d one day get to the Oscars  – and she needed to honour her fellow Eritreans when she did.

Tiffany stuck to her word, because she is excellent.

So at this year’s Oscars, her first… Read the full story

While most people wore embellished gowns for the Oscars red carpet, Emma Stone did things a little differently.

The actress, who attended the Oscars to present an award (she’s not nominated this year) showed up in blue trousers, a deep red jacket, and a pink sash belt.

It’s not a look for everyone, but it works on Emma.

Saoirse Ronan has got a pretty sweet deal right now.

At just 23 years old, she’s already received two nominations for best actress – including one tonight for her leading role in Greta Gerwig’s lady bird.

Meanwhile, I’m 25 and currently eating a sharing-size bag of crisps at my desk… at 1.30am.

When your life is looking that peachy, it only makes sense to steer away from anything too dark and serious, and instead rock up to the Oscars red carpet in something fun, young, and cool.

So we’ve covered the fashion at the Oscars 2018.

That was fun. It’s nice to gaze at fancy dresses covered in sparkle.

But the thing is – we’ll never be able to wear those dresses ourselves. They’re blimmin’ expensive. We can’t really recreate the looks ourselves, either, because Topshop isn’t likely to sell a dress that looks just like custom-made Calvin Klein.

Makeup, however, is something we can copy.

Why choose style over comfort when you can have both?

Learn from Whoopi Goldberg, the undeniable queen of practical awards season dressing.

While Whoopi tends to prefer a relaxed trouser, for the Oscars she decided to go full-on glam, in a full-skirted floral gown designed by Christian Siriano.

But this is not just any red carpet gown. Nope, Whoopi Goldberg would not ditch her comfortable sweatpants and trainers for your standard dress.

On the red carpet Whoopi revealed that Christian went to extra lengths to ensure her dress would be incredible comfortable, with a roomy… Read the full story

It’s a truth universally acknowledged: Sanitary products are too darned expensive.

With figures such as £1,500 that go into paying for pads and tampons throughout an average woman’s lifetime, the thought of underwear that absorbs blood is welcome news.

Thank God then that St Alban’s-based brand Wuka has come up with the UK’s first reusable period pants.

They’re not the first or only period pants in existence (remember Thinx?), but Wuka are the first to come from the UK.

The eco friendly undies have been created as the company is on a mission to ‘solve all women’s problems’.

According to the designers, the pants last up to 11 hours and offer… Read the full story
