The BAFTAs are over for another year, and it saw some of the biggest names in Hollywood hoping to win one of the prestigious awards.There were plenty of major beauty looks spotted on the red carpet, including Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor who went for a classic fresh-faced glamour with a nude, barely-there beauty look that complemented her white Louis Vuitton gown. Phoebe’s makeup artist Gina Kane created the look using a full face of Charlotte Tilbury products from skincare through to her lashes, and she used one of the brand’s newest lipstick launches to finish off the look.The brand new Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipstick in shade Icon Baby, £27 here, is a pink-toned nude that was perfect for rounding off Phoebe’s understated glam makeup, and it’s already proving to be a red carpet must-have.

This year's top celeb accessory? A bob. Stars ranging from Kylie Jenner to Zendaya and Louise Redknapp have been quick to chop off their lengthy tresses in favour of this fashionable short 'do, and now Rita Ora - who has long been a fan of flowing, mermaid-like hair - has followed suit with a cut that takes some serious 90s inspiration.

The BAFTAs are almost over for another year, and we’ve been graced with some enviable sleek and silky hairstyles during the event that we’ll be racing to copy at the next possible opportunity. From Emily Atack’s elegant chignon to Michelle Keegan’s sleek curls, there’s no shortage of hair inspo for our next event.

Awards season is now well underway, and we’ve been eagerly following the A-listers as they prepare to hit some of the biggest red carpets around the world. One of the key parts of any celeb’s red carpet prep is their skincare, and there’s one tool that several of the biggest stars like Margot Robbie and Jennifer Aniston are known to use – the ZIIP Halo Facial Toning Device, £379 here.

Trinny Woodall started her career in fashion as one half of the TV makeover duo Trinny and Susannah, but she’s made beauty her business over the last few years. In 2017, she launched her eponymous brand Trinny London, starting with stackable pots of multi-purpose make-up. Since then the brand has expanded into skincare and tools and is now a multi-million pound business with a global community.This makes Trinny London the perfect fit for the OK! Beauty Box’s Female Founders Edit, a limited-edition selection of brilliant brands started by inspirational women.

Beauty Box, an incredible selection of products from some of the most empowering women in the beauty industry. Following its sell-out success last year, the limited-edition Female Founders Edit from the OK! Beauty Box subscription service is back for a second year running.

The relaxed feeling after a spa break usually stops as soon as we wheel our suitcases out of the hotel doors, so we were all for booking into a retreat that offers self-improvement beyond the stay's length. Located on the sun-soaked south coast of Portugal in Algor, Longevity is a five-star wellness hotel that houses a world-class medical spa as well as a private hospital on its grounds.

While we were all distracted by Taylor Swift’s immoveable red lipstick and Usher’s nostalgic 00s performance during Sunday’s Super Bowl, there was another beauty look that flew somewhat under the radar – Hailey Bieber’s new hair.The model kept a reasonably low profile during the sporting event, but now she’s given us a closer look at her brand new dramatic hair transformation – and we’re in love. Her new look saw her ditching her signature golden ‘cinnamon cookie butter’ hue in favour of a much darker, richer chocolate syrup shade – perfect for the queen of sweet-treat themed beauty trends.

Valentine’s Day might be over for another year, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still obsessed with all things cute and romantically-themed.That’s why when we spotted Lottie London’s latest product launch, we couldn’t get enough of its unique heart-shaped packaging. The new Lottie London Twisted Heart Lip Tint and Clear Gloss Duo, £6.95 here, comes in a unique double-ended tube in a heart-shaped design and can be flipped and twisted around to create not only a regular straight stick but also doubles up as a fidget spinner to help keep anxious hands busy.

Beauty Box subscription box has just launched, containing five specially-selected beauty must-haves designed to repair, strengthen and support your face and body from top to toe.

It’s no secret that everything from ageing to the changing seasons means we need to change up the products we use on our skin once in a while. With the cold weather still wreaking havoc on our skin’s moisture levels and ageing skin still one of the biggest skincare concerns that people search for, Amazon shoppers have been raving about a L’Oreal moisturiser that left even their perimenopausal skin feeling soft and hydrated.

When it comes to beauty products, you can’t get much better than a royal recommendation. One brand that’s reported to have popped up in the makeup bags of several royal family members over the years is By Terry, with Princess Diana said to rely on its Baume de Rose Lip Balm, £42 here, as her go-to for keeping her lips nourished and hydrated for many years.

When it comes to our makeup, we’re always on the lookout for a handy tip or trick that’ll not only make our products apply better, but will also help save us some time, too. No one knows the importance of making your daily routine run more smoothly than Stacey Solomon, who is known for sharing her clever life hacks with her followers that help make her life as a busy mum a little less stressful.

Ever since she strutted into the Love Island All Star villa on day one, we’ve been envious of Georgia Steel’s glossy, long hair. Whether she’s lounging by the pool, having a heated confrontation or getting glammed up for date night, the fiery brunette never seems to have a hair out of place – no mean feat considering the humid South African climate which would typically leave the rest of us with untameable frizz and a permanent slicked back ponytail.

It’s baaack – and we’re not talking about the Love Island All Stars contestants. Boots has just dropped its much-anticipated Boots X Love Island All Stars Beauty Box, £45 here, and it’s packed full of everything you need to recreate the contestants’ best beauty looks.

When it comes to skincare, we’re often tempted to stock our beauty cabinets with high-end, luxury brands as the lure of a higher price tag must surely mean it works, right? However, beauty fans have been ditching their pricier serums in favour of an altogether more affordable one after claiming it works ‘just as well’ as their usual go-to luxe products. The Revolution Pro Miracle Night Rescue Serum Advanced Complex, £12 here, has been getting rave reviews from shoppers who have been blown away by the serum’s quality despite its budget-friendly price tag, and have even been comparing it favourably to the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, £115 here.

Even if you’ve never watched a game of American Football in your life, between Usher’s incredible halftime performance and the kiss seen around the world as Taylor Swift celebrated with boyfriend (and winning team member) Travis Kelce, even those who know nothing about football have been enjoying the results of Sunday night’s Super Bowl. For beauty fans everywhere, there’s been one thing that we’ve all been left wondering, though – exactly which red lipstick Taylor Swift wears.

In case you didn’t know, each week Boots runs its major £10 Tuesday deal which sees the prices of some of its best-loved products slashed to – you guessed it – £10 for just 24 hours, and it’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on some skincare faves or try out a new product you’ve been waiting to snap up. This week the discounted products include the Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Moisturiser And Serum Duo, £10 here, which has been slashed from its usual price of £16.50.

Spring is nearly upon us and that means one thing: celebs are packing in their 'winter' beauty treatments so they can emerge in the sunny weather looking fresh. One treatment we're hearing a lot about at the moment is eyebrow microblading.This semi-permanent, tattoo procedure uses a fine-tip, handheld tool that picks up ink and implants the colour down in the dermis, the second layer of skin, resulting in long-lasting fine strokes of hair that mimic the real thing.

As much as we love a clever makeup trick or two when it comes to hiding blemishes and uneven skin tones, there are some things even the sneakiest tactics can’t cover; namely rough, bumpy texture. Whether it’s caused by blocked pores, dry skin or hormone-induced spots, a rough, uneven skin texture often shows though even the most carefully applied foundation, which is why a good skincare routine is key to keeping your complexion smooth and hydrated.

There’s nothing better than unwinding after a stressful day with a face mask, and if you struggle with oily skin or blocked pores you’ll know all too well how important a great purifying mask is to help maintain a clear, soft complexion. If you’ve been struggling to find a mask that gives the results you want, The Body Shop shoppers think they’ve found the solution to your problems, with its Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, £8 here, racking up an impressive 4.7 out of 5 star rating with reviews praising it for how well it cleared up their skin after the very first use.
