Okay so we’ve seen unicorn makeup brushes before, but seriously, let’s remind ourselves. What’s not to love?

They look just magical. The stuff of dreams. The makeup brushes that every Disney princess would use if they didn’t already have their makeup painted permanently on to their faces.

And now a new collection of unicorn brushes are to be released – and this time they’re coming to us in ROSE GOLD.

No, beauty lovers, this is NOT a drill. We couldn’t be more excited.

In a few years, when we’ll all obviously have our own houses, how will we decide to decorate them?

We’ll have 20 different species of cacti, of course, but otherwise we’ll probably just put the contents of IKEA on a truck and live out the rest of our lives in reasonably-priced Scandinavian peace.

But one Reddit user toooners decided to do something way more interesting by making an entire floor out of pennies.

$130’s worth, to be precise – and the result is actually pretty stunning.

Any average Joe could have thrown a load of pennies on a floor, flattened them out and finished with a sub-par penny arrangement, but not toooners.

Each penny was hand picked for its colour

The choice to wear a poppy on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday is complex and personal.

Should I wear a poppy? Arguments for and against supporting the Remembrance Sunday poppy appeal

The popular red poppy, as part of the poppy appeal, is organised annually by The Royal British Legion, which supports veterans and members of the British Armed Forces.

This isn’t something everyone wants to get behind, for reasons varying from the poppy’s connections to the British Armed Forces after… Read the full story

In case you missed what is quite possibly the biggest chocolate-related news of the year (it’s up against Quality Street killing off the toffee deluxe and Terry’s chocolate orange getting smaller. 2016 has been tough), here’s a very quick explainer.

In an effort to keep prices low, Mondelez International has reduced the weight of selected Toblerone bars, while keeping the length and packaging the same.

How? By stealing away our triangles and leaving giant gaps in between. Sneaky.

This is outrageous, obviously, and we will not stand to be cheated out of chocolate triangles.

The idea of looking down and seeing your hands covered in blood might not be the sexiest thing on the planet.

But if that alone is putting you off masturbating while you’re on your period, that’s a real shame – because a period self-love sesh can be bloody (sorry) magical.

It might be a little tricky to get past the initial ick reaction, but once you actually try it out (and realise it’s rarely as messy as you’d think) you’ll want to do it all the time. Promise.

Here’s why you should masturbate when you’re on your period. If you want, obviously. No… Read the full story

While most Americans are worrying about what is going to happen to their country with Donald Trump as president, others are worrying about what’s going to happen to the White House. 

Will it stay the same, beautiful building or will Donald Trump be handing out orders to re-vamp that as well?

Reddit users have come together with a new Photoshop battle to offer their own ideas. And yes, some of them are very orange.

Two pints of beer bitter on wooden barrel in London pub.

According to YouGov, 74 per cent of people believe having a beer at lunchtime without a main meal is unacceptable.

The study asked if it was OK to have an alcoholic drink during a working day lunch. And almost three quarters said it was absolutely not.

England, you’ve changed.

A further 60 per cent of people said even with a meal it isn’t acceptable to have a drink if you’re on a lunchbreak from work.

Devil’s claw and lion’s tail sounds like something Minerva McGonagall would cook up after a transfiguration class.

You’d expect her to be swilling a glass of the stuff, mixed with a slice of Snargaluff after a gruelling encounter with kitten-loving Dolores Umbridge.

Perhaps she would add a little cascillia bark or tonka bean to give it an extra kick or maybe she’ll mix in some baobab to help catch one of those fantastic beasts for Newt Scamander (yes we know we’re mixing our Harry Potter tales).

There were the barely-count-as-sour Tangfastics, relatively-sour Brain Lickers, sour-sour Toxic Waste, and then Warheads.

These were sour sweets. Like, my-face-hurts sour.

And since they were a challenge to our fragile childish tongues, imagine how they’d taste to a puppy.

When YouTuber MrJdm365 happened to be sitting at the table eating one, he decided to give his puppy a lick of it to see how it’d react.

If you could go back and do high school all over again, would you?

Or maybe you’d change nothing at all.
