When you’re at a festival, it can be hard to maintain any kind of beauty regime.

On the first day, you’re there rocking lipstick and eyeliner. By the third day, your face is caked in mud and three-day-old UV paint.

But one trend that’s sweeping the internet right now is guaranteed to make you look fresh and sparkly, no matter how mucky you become.

Foil freckles are going to be everywhere this summer – and they’re incredibly simple to apply.

Having anxiety and obsessive thoughts often boils down to a simple misunderstanding of the level of danger in a situation.

My brain tells me that leaving switches turned on will result in the house burning down, that if I don’t go and check the door seven times before bed I’ll get burgled, and – in the worst times – that if I go outside I’ll get murdered.

Stop letting people convince you that your vagina's supposed to smell of roses

A big part of getting better has been reassuring myself that these thoughts aren’t rational. I tell myself that the world is not as dangerous as my brain makes it out to be, that I’m safe, that there’s no reason to be scared.

But last week things did get genuinely, truly scary.

I woke up to news that there had been an explosion in Manchester, where lots of my friends… Read the full story

It’s World Digestive Health Day, which is marked each year on May 29 in order to raise awareness of stomach and intestine disorders, and promote good digestive health.

Some foods are better for digestive health than others, with many of us eating a diet that can wreak havoc on our insides without realising.

People are sharing the first time they were body shamed

A common mistake people make is not eating enough fibre – the recommended dietary intake is 30g a day.

Here are some other tips, tricks and words of advice that will help you consume a diet that’s good… Read the full story

Few of us would pass up the opportunity to stay in a tree house.

But one that’s hanging 60ft up a cliff face? That’s a slightly different vibe.

A bunch of architects in Sweden have designed what they hope will be the future of housing – a collection of 50 square metre homes built into the walls of cliffs.

When viewed from a distance, they look relatively small and cute – but as you can see upon closer inspection, we’re talking about real-deal,… Read the full story

These days, fanny packs are being worn by rappers. By models. And soon, no doubt, by you.

Why? Because gorpcore has brought them back into fashion.

But what the hell is ‘gorpcore’?

It gets its name from ‘GORP’, an acronym of the ‘Good Old Raisins and Peanuts’ mix used by hikers.

Remember all those times you humiliated yourself at school because you couldn’t catch a ball in P.E.?

You’re not alone.

You wouldn’t want this dog in your rounders team, or any other sport that involves some degree of hand-eye coordination.

Lovable Husky and Malamute cross K’eyush is not like other dogs. He’s completely useless at playing fetch.

But what he lacks in ability, he makes up for with enthusiasm.

K’eyush leaps up, and even looks like he’s clapping an anticipation when owner Jodie Barnard is about to throw the ball.

Looking for a good deal on your education?

There’s so many things you need to consider when choosing the right university for you, but affordability can be a real deal-breaker.

Academic reputation is all well and good, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford to live in places like London where rents are astronomically high, especially if you can’t get a part-time job while you’re earning your degree.

Is there a magic formula you can use to pick up women? An elixir that would make your dream girl fall in love with you in an instant?

I went in search of that when I visited love coach Daniel Vercetti after hearing about his Love System that promised to make you more successful with the ladies.

Like any other guy I get nervous when approaching women.

That self doubt fills my head, ‘what if she thinks I’m ugly?’, ‘what if she blanks me and everyone starts laughing at me?’.

You’re more likely to have an affair if you’ve been to university, a new study claims.

Extramarital dating site VictoriaMilan looked at the education levels of their users to see if it increased the chances of them cheating.

And they found that those most likely to engage in extra-marital activities were people who had graduated from university.

35.7% of degree-holding women and 25.4% of men admitting to straying.

The site looked nearly 80,000 Australians and found that if you’ve got a BA, you’re 22.5% more likely to cheat if you’re a woman… Read the full story

Body shaming happens all the time.

It happens on billboards. In magazines. Online. In person.

Three-year-old Zuri-Sanaa is swiftly becoming a fashion icon all on her own

And it happens to everyone – mainly women, but men too. It knows no age limit.

But although it’s so prevalent, we are at least becoming less reticent at calling body shaming out and there have been countless efforts by bloggers and journalists to try and empower those who have been victim to it.

Sally Bergesen, founder and CEO of sportswear company Oiselle, is doing just that by encouraging everyone to share their first encounter with body shaming by using the… Read the full story

Oh Bic, Bic, Bic. When will you learn?

A year after the pen and lighter brand inspired rage and p*ss-taking by creating special ‘Bic for Her’ pens so us ladies could finally write thank you notes with ease, the company’s decided to bring out a handy lighter just for women.

The Miss Bic Flex is one of those handy multi-purpose lighters your mum probably already owns, but with subtle tweaks to make it more woman-friendly.

Forget the barbecue, we’re all about the pizza oven this summer.

Well, we are now that ALDI are selling their own cheap versions, at least.

Stop letting people convince you that your vagina's supposed to smell of roses

While most pizza ovens can cost up to £500, ALDI’s version costs just £99.99.

The oven, which is much unlike the traditional brick pizza ovens, is made using black-painted stainless steel, and comes in a box unassembled – meaning you’ll need to take some time out of your day to put it all together.

From slightly roughed-up looking tubes to bits of loose, minty-fresh powder, it’s all causing rather a lot of confusion.

Makeup can do amazing, transformative things.

It can widen your eyes. It can plump up your lips. It can make you look a thousand times healthier, more glowing, more sculpted.

Vladimir the cat is visiting every National Park in America and he's loving every second

But one thing it isn’t typically designed to do is to make people look as if they’ve changed race.

Some people display their art by putting paint to paper. Others take to canvases.

But one artist is defying the arts by putting his pen to… bananas.

Stephan Brusche is an artist from Amsterdam who is very talented in the area of creating the most intricate of designs on bananas.

Creating both his own artwork and recreating famous pieces, regardless of what he draws, Stephan always makes the art his own.

Stephan told Metro.co.uk that it was a ‘combination of things’ that led him to the world of banana art.
