Now that summer is out of the way, the countdown to Christmas can officially start, right?

A week has gone by since the terrible news of our Queen’s passing broke, and it still doesn’t feel quite real. Queen Elizabeth II was special to so many of us for different reasons, but, for me, I’ll always remember her for being refreshingly bold with her fashion and beauty choices.

Autumn is now here, and we’ve got just the thing to celebrate the new season – the exciting new OK! Beauty Box. This month’s Recharge & Refresh Edit contains five face and body treats to get you ready for the new season: three skin saviours – an eye cream, a skin-strengthening serum and a hydrating face mask – plus a suits-all eyeliner and a luxe shower foam.

It might seem a little early to be thinking of Christmas, but beauty advent calendars don’t fit into your normal category of festive shopping. Many of these boxes pack hundreds of pounds worth of savings on skincare, haircare, bodycare, fragrance and makeup – and, as such, lots of the ones from top brands are prone to selling out within days of launching.

A true sign of summer ending and autumn beginning is when Starbucks puts its Pumpkin Spice Latte back on the seasonal menu – and Instagram informs us it's now back on menu boards nationwide.The delicious drink is like a warm and spicy hug in a mug, so why not clasp your hands around it with some cosy-looking nails to match the coffee? Seasonal manicures are taking off this year with colours and prints to match each season trending on Instagram.This month it’s the turn of pumpkin spice nails.Think autumnal brown shades, burnt oranges and warm neutrals – essentially, latte tones.

Maya Jama’s Instagram page is our go-to destination for fashion and beauty inspo, and her latest grid post is giving us 70s perfection in hair form.The presenter transformed her usual look for a 70s-themed party, but as she says in the post caption, it didn’t all go to plan… “The theme was 70s but my glittery jumpsuit didn’t fit,” Maya writes. Her followers don’t seem to mind about the outfit at all, and plenty are taking to the comment section to compliment her on the glam look.

Let’s be honest. If you’re a busy mum, it can be frustrating seeing celebrities who manage to always look fresh faced despite juggling career and family life. It’s easy to imagine that achieving youthful and glowing skin is both costly and time consuming.

Just when you think the Kardashian sisters have surprised us enough for 2022, Kourtney Kardashian Barker goes and announces she’s releasing a new clothing collection with Boohoo next week – and is becoming a sustainability ambassador for the brand. We’ve only been given a small preview of the collection but it looks like it will feature a wearable mix of gender neutral fits. What’s really capturing our attention in the snaps, though, is Kourt's hair.

Want to make your eyes pop? Victoria Beckham has the perfect hack. In fact, she’s been turning to this trick for years to give her eyes a brighter and more youthful look.

Another day, another “dupe”.This time it’s Primark’s turn to find viral fame on TikTok thanks to one of its budget beauty products.

Both of the kits contain one velvety lipstick, one matching shade of lip liner and a lip gloss.

Before Meghan Markle was Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, she was Rachel Zane on Suits – and we have to admit we’ve missed watching her and her epic office-chic hair and style looks. Now, for her return to the UK with husband Prince Harry, it looks like Meghan is channelling her inner Rachel again for a “power pony” hair look. Showing off the style last night at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester for her first speech in the UK since 2020, Meghan looked incredible in a striking red dress and with glowing makeup.Though we’d like to know ASAP everything she used on her skin to prep for the night, we’re in awe of her slick-back ponytail featuring waved ends.Twitter is also delighted to see Meghan back and serving more style and beauty looks… “Meghan's real hair that can grow & wash & condition is always on point.

Don’t we all have that one thing we bang on to our friends about but never really do anything to find a solution to? Maybe yours is leaving a boring job or booking a boujee holiday. Mine was fixing my left under-eye. I was always so annoyed by how much more hollow it looked compared to my right under-eye, and by how the tear trough area looked sunken and dark when I wasn’t wearing makeup.

Thinking of going darker for autumn/winter? Many of us use these seasons as a reason to transition our hair colour into something a bit closer in shade to our roots in a bid to restore its condition and shine. But if you’re worried about ending up with a boring base, you only need to look to former Corrie and Dancing on Ice star Faye Brookes for brunette inspiration.The 35 year old has just revealed a new “mocha melt” hair colour transformation on her Instagram page after deciding to give her look a bit of an update for the new season.

We haven’t seen much of Rihanna since the singer gave birth to her son in May, because, naturally, she’s had more pressing things to do with her time rather than attend red carpet events. We did, however, catch a glimpse of the singer over the weekend when she stepped out to dinner with some friends, and we instantly spotted her hair transformation.

Billie Shepherd may have her hands full with two young children – and a third child on the way – but the reality star always looks flawless, and her millions of followers love her relatable beauty and lifestyle recommendations.

Beauty Box for us, packed full with 11 of her favourite skin, hair and body products from top brands like Elizabeth Arden, REN and Burt’s Bees.

Amid the laundry loads, piles of post and 2,437 unread work emails, there is one good thing about coming back home after a summer holiday: smugly receiving those “you look well” comments from family, friends and co-workers. Despite having a very fair, easily irritated complexion, being without my fanciest skincare products and surviving on a diet of bread and Magnum ice creams, when I’m away on a sunny holiday my skin honestly never looks better.

With hairstylists and colourists instantly available to Kim Kardashian with just a click of her perfectly manicured fingers, we’re going to assume then that the star’s latest hair look is the result of her wanting to revive a trend rather than a result of her missing a trip to the hair salon. In new snaps taken in, what looks like, a parking lot (they’re a lot more glam than we make them sound), Kim poses in head-to-toe Balenciaga – no change there, then.The outfit is certainly eye catching, but the first thing we spotted was Kim’s hair.The mum-of-four has been favouring a platinum blonde shade for months now, but in these snaps it looks like Kim is testing out a new trend: a contrasting root.

We’re loving Holly Willoughby’s Wylde Moon blog because we’re getting some great insights into the This Morning presenter’s beauty regime. Her hairstylist, Ciler Peksah, is also a regular contributor to the blog and gives some excellent advice and hair hacks.This week Ciler gave us a little insight into an overnight trick that Holly uses to keep her coloured hair looking and feeling its best. Shared on Wylde Moon’s Instagram page, the story reads: “Using an empty spray bottle, mix half of your favourite conditioner or hair mask with 10 pumps of hair oil (not serum) and top up with enough water to activate the spray.

If you think of a haircut that truly has withstood the test of time, the Rachel Green cut would probably come to mind first.The 90s-era layered and feathered style is still being asked for in hair salons today, and has had a big resurgence thanks to TikTok and Gen Z-ers, who are desperate to make all things 90 the biggest trend of the year. Now the original wearer of the cut, Jennifer Anison (aka Rachel Green herself), has gone and got the layered look again nearly 30 years after first wearing it on Friends. Jen shows off the style in fun promo videos for her haircare brand, LolaVie.

When Molly-Mae Hague does, well, anything to her hair, we instantly pay attention.The 23 year old has been known for her thick and bouncy tresses ever since appearing on Love Island in 2019. In fact, she’s become so known for her hair, we’ve even coined a high bun a “Molly-Mae bun”. Now, the star has decided to switch up her look again after favouring an extension-free, mid-length chop for quite some time.
