First there was the beauty blender, the cutting edge makeup sponge that promised that sort of flawless application that would make you look like the celebs on Instagram.

But then people started finding actual, real-life bugs in them and started to think they were kinda gross.

Now, for those people, there’s the Silisponge.

It may look like a breast implant, or the sort of gel bra padding a desperate, flat-chested teenager like myself would have gravitated towards in La Senza back in 1999 – but it’s actually a revolutionary new beauty product.

It claims to blend your base in like a dream… Read the full story

When Shannon and her friend Keira were told they were not allowed out one night, they decided to silently refuse to take no for an answer.

All the fancy bra looks you need to see from this year's Victoria's Secret runway show

Christmas is coming, which means so is the bloating aftermath that comes after eating far too many pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and mince pies. 

The Silisponge says it will make your foundation last 50% longer

But who cares, right? It’s Christmas after all. The time of year when it’s okay to indulge and eat until your heart’s content.

And hey, we’re all doing it – even those with the most toned bodies of all. In fact, they’re not just doing it – they’re talking about it, too.

We get it, the costs of cinema foods suck. 

Please stop telling women we'll change our minds about not wanting children

Really, who wants to pay £7 for a coke and some popcorn when you can get it for less than half the price in your local supermarket?

Most of us give in to the prices and blame it on the ‘cinema experience’ but it doesn’t make it any more okay.

So it’s hardly surprising that the Obamas are pros at all things Christmas.

The internet is full of beauty bloggers.

Sure, they have good tips but it’s difficult to stand out in the crowd.

Please stop telling women we'll change our minds about not wanting children

This means they often tell us to try things that no sane person would.

Sorry, but how many of us are seriously going to start fake tanning with coffee granules or rubbing garlic over their face to get rid of acne?

But finally, there’s a blogger we can relate to. Who we can trust. Who doesn’t bullsh*t us with crazy makeup tips.

It’s Grandma Lill.

Treatment for HIV and AIDS has progressed massively, but sadly our attitudes have yet to catch up.

Being ignorant is not only stigmatising and harmful for those who live with HIV but it can also put your or your partner’s health at risk.

I have OCD and an element of my illness is severe health anxiety.

This means I can get really overwhelmed with obsessive thoughts about health and, in particular, the fear of catching HIV.

In a bid to understand the illness better, I spoke to my friend Tom, who is HIV positive.

And it has really helped open my eyes.

In all honestly, it’s made me realise just how… Read the full story

In case you missed this very important news, last night Kendall Jenner walked the Victoria’s Secret runway for the second time.

Is this a sponge or a piece of bread?

This time around she headed to Paris (along with all the other models, obvs), which is nice, and she got to wear wings again, which is a very big deal.*

*For those not in the know, wearing wings cements you high up in the hierarchy of Victoria’s Secret angels. It’s all taken very seriously.

Don’t be fooled. The fancy bras on the runway may be sparkly, but they’re not the best bit of the Victoria’s Secret show.

Nope. The best stuff is happening backstage.

We’re talking matching pink robes, an endless selfie-taking cycle, models pretending to be candid while getting their makeup done.

A girl called Shania was just minding her own business, scrolling through Facebook, when she got a message from a girl telling her she’d been using her photos to catfish an old man. 

Is this a sponge or a piece of bread?

The girl, whose name has been obscured in the messages, asked Shania whether she had a second to chat.

Once Shania gave her said second, things got weird pretty fast.

The girl admitted that she had been using Shania’s photos to catfish an old man – and she needed Shania to fulfill one of his requests

Ah December, the festive period, and also the period when you are forced to go out and actually be social.

This is the time of year you dread the most.

The Okinawan islands in Japan are often overlooked as a tourist destination. With their stunning beaches and incredible diet that gives them the reputation of the place where people forget to die, it is hard to know why. If you do visit Okinawa (and you definitely should), the capital city of Naha is a great place to start. Here are the best Airbnbs to stay in the island’s carefree capital.

If you think you can trick a dog into accepting one toy instead of two, you are wrong. So wrong.

And also, you’re awful. Dogs deserve as many toys as their hearts desire.

Can we tell the difference between a sex toy, a dog toy and a kitchen utensil?

But as of today, you’ll now feel especially bad when you give a dog fewer things than it’s expecting. Because according to one study, you’re not pulling the wool over dogs’ eyes at all. They know exactly what you’re doing.

Because it turns out that dogs… Read the full story

Brace yourself. Feelings are coming.

When 18-year-old Carly Dunn headed to college, she had to leave behind her dog, Bo.

Bo was not too happy about this. Carly told BuzzFeed that Bo has never been good at even short-term goodbyes – ‘Every time I leave the house, he always looks at me so sad and just gives me this face like I’m literally giving him for adoption’ – so Carly leaving for months on end was never going to go down well.

In a stunning display of mansplaining, radio DJ Tom Steele has taken to the internet to explain that women in prisons should be using fewer than 11 pads on their periods.

Comedian brilliantly explains why Santa needs to take a stand for Rudolph

Tom hasn’t let the fact that he doesn’t personally own a uterus stop him from weighing in in response to an article by Huffington Post writer Melissa Jeltsen.

Jeltsen explains in her article that providing adequate pads and tampons to women in prison is about more than hygiene, it’s about dignity.

But Tom Steele doesn’t share her opinion.
