Beauty: Last News

We've forever in awe at how great Kate Middleton's hair and make-up always looks. Whether she's stepping out on royal engagements or attending black tie balls, the Princess of Wales always looks flawless. Christmas is a busy time for the royal too, with Kate hosting a carol service at Westminster Abbey for the third year in a row, as well as attending the annual Christmas Day church service at Sandringham.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a going out or staying in type of person when it comes to New Year’s Eve, there’s one thing you can’t go wrong with when it comes to ringing in the new year – sparkles. Whether you’re pairing a rhinestone-covered dress with your fave slippers for an evening in the house or planning on dancing the night away at a glitzy event, there’s no better time for upping the glam and adding some extra glitter to your look than on NYE.This year there’s one trending look that anyone can embody, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing – disco ball eye makeup.

Following its incredible Black Friday sale, expert-approved skincare brand Medik8 has 20% off selected winter skincare bundles that include favourites such as vitamin C, retinoids and cleansers, running from now until 5 January 2024.

It may not be the first thing you think to treat yourself to, but investing in an electric toothbrush is one of the best purchases you can make in the Boxing Day sales. Unlike a regular toothbrush, electric toothbrushes create thousands of strokes per minute, helping to remove more plaque and keep gum disease at bay, whilst your regular brush can only brush as fast as your hand allows, meaning they’re better for keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy with minimal effort.

When it comes to creating a glowing, hydrating skincare routine, there are few people in the world who know what they’re talking about quite like supermodels.Thanks to how often their skin has to tolerate heavy makeup application, they know better than anyone how important it is to create a skincare regimen that keeps your skin clean, hydrated and nourished at all times, which is why when they recommend a holy grail skincare product, we sit up and take notice. That’s why when arguably the biggest supermodel in the world, Naomi Campbell, has been raving about La Roche-Posay’s Serozinc Toner, £9.20 here (was £11.50), for the last few years, we knew it must be good.

There are so many different traditions we love participating in over the festive season, but one of our favourites has to be the Boxing Day sales. Whether you’re after a couple of post- Christmas treats for yourself, have some additional late presents to buy, or are already getting a head start on next year’s Christmas presents (and if you’re that organised we salute you), it’s the perfect time to get your hands on some bargains.

With just a couple of days to go until Christmas Day, now is the time to start your last-minute pre-Christmas pamper. For some that includes a quick at-home manicure or squeezing in an eyebrow appointment, and for others that means giving your hair a bit of a revamp ready for the festive fun, and it seems Stacey Dooley falls firmly into the latter camp.

Stacey Solomon has revealed that she has had some new beauty treatments while enjoying a rare day off from her parenting. The Loose Women star previously vowed to her fans that she will be having a "happier" year in 2024 by being "unapologetically" herself and doing things that "scare" her. She coined the new outlook the "F*** it year" and said it would start in January with a massive sort out through the house.

The Christmas countdown is officially on and with just a couple of days to go, you’re probably deep in the last-minute tasks like present wrapping, buying food and cleaning your home. But don’t forget to give yourself a little last minute TLC before the big day, too, with these last two days being the perfect time to get yourself feeling pampered and relaxed ready to celebrate.

As we wave goodbye to another trip around the sun, it's time to dive into the olfactory journey that defined the past twelve months for shoppers and beauty enthusiasts alike. Whether you loved the cosy allure of amber or to awaken your senses with zesty bursts of citrus, 2023 unfolded as a year brimming with aromatic surprises tailored to every mood and vibe.

Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is paramount, yet amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, the care of our teeth often takes a backseat. Introducing a reliable electric toothbrush into your daily routine not only supports dental health effectively but seamlessly integrates into your brushing habits. What if we told you that there's a game-changer in town that not only elevates your dental care routine but also adds an extra dazzle to your pearly whites, and you can save £160 on it? The Philips Sonicare Series 7900 Advanced Whitening Sonic Electric Toothbrush is now slashed to £89.99 here, down from its original price of £249.99 (that is a whopping saving of £160) on Amazon.

With the cost of living crisis determined to stay in our lives like an unwanted guest, it's getting more and more difficult to justify spending money on beauty treatments and what can be easily considered luxurious self-indulgence.The truth is though, whether it's a manicure, a visit to the hairdresser, or a monthly facial, we all cling to that cherished self-care ritual that we're reluctant to let go. Personally, mine happens to be eyebrow lamination.The only (quite big) downside? With London prices starting from £60 onwards - plus the add-ons for waxing and tinting - I was spending around £75 every six weeks.That's an average of £650 per year, probably more if you count the random eye mask I was compelled to try or the hand massages I was offered while waiting for the eyebrow solution to do its magic.

If you're anything like us then you probably don't always feel confident leaving the house without something on your skin. And if it's a full-coverage foundation you tend to wear, the thought of a tinted serum with a light and dewy coverage might scare you. However, Molly-Mae Hague is here to prove that you don't need a thick foundation to get your skin looking better than ever.The former Love Island star has just dropped a new make-up tutorial on her YouTube page here where she raves about one item in particular: L'Oréal Paris True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum £14.99 here.

Katie Price, the former glamour model, has been teased by her co-star in the Sleeping Beauty pantomime for only learning "two of her 25 lines".The 45 year old is playing Maleficent in the famous fairy tale at Liverpool's M&S Arena and, despite being paid a hefty £60,000 for her role, it seems she hasn't taken her festive part too seriously. Her co-star Bippo, dressed in a colourful outfit, joked about her lack of preparation to the audience. He said: "This is the show starring Katie Price, she's amazing.

As someone who has battled hormonal acne breakouts, I understand the frustration of seeing those persistent red marks long after the pimples have faded away. My skin journey has been a rollercoaster, to say the least, and I've tried numerous products in the pursuit of fading those stubborn blemishes. I pinpointed my spot problems are largely due to a birth control method I was on, and since coming off it, my skin looks much clearer.

The rising popularity of beauty at-home devices isn't just a trend – it's a lifestyle revolution. As our schedules become increasingly demanding and our budgets become smaller and smaller, the allure of bringing professional beauty treatments into the comfort of our own homes has become irresistible.

When it comes to achieving the perfect pout, lip oils have become the go-to beauty essential for many.Their skyrocketing popularity is mostly due to the Dior Lip Glow Oils, £32 here, which have repeatedly sold out thanks to their ability to offer a delicate yet vibrant tint that adapts to the individual's lip colour, providing a personalised and flattering finish leaving the lips soft and supple. A luxury lip experience is tempting, but not everyone's wallet is on board with that pricey tag. Fear not! We've uncovered a budget-friendly gem that'll leave your lips feeling nourished with a subtle tint and glossy finish for a fraction of Dior's price.The Collection Lip Spa Oils, £3.99 here, give you a high-shine look without the sticky texture.

One of the biggest make-up hits of Christmas 2022 was MAC's Fizzy Feels lip balm – a sparkly, moisturising balm that adjusts to the pH of your lips and leaves a veil of golden shimmer behind. Due to popular demand, MAC rereleased the lipstick again this year in two shades as part of its 2023 Bizarre Blizzard holiday collection – the original Taste For Bubbles, a rich gold, and new colour Shiver Shimmy, an iridescent purple – priced at £25.
