Shoppers over at Amazon who have scooped up this beauty must-have are raving about this skincare gem. Bestowing a glowing 5-star review, this satisfied customer shares: “I bought this on a whim because I saw a girl on social media talk about it (I’m easily influenced). I was unsure about it just because I have very sensitive skin. My skin has been super dry lately with working in the hospital, but I put this on before my moisturizer and it just locks in moisture. It’s light weight on my skin, and a little goes a long way. My skin looks so glowy and if I use it under my makeup it doesn’t make it pill or separate and does a good job helping to create a glowy, natural texture. I’d recommend giving this a try!”

Further praise comes from this buyer who beams: “In love with these products. They leave my face bright and fresh looking moisturized and plump. I’ve had many compliments lately as well. Super impressed!”

Another shopper chimes in, writing: “Just that it’s important to use a serum before your moisturizer. This is the best serum I have used (and I used alot of different serums). This one made a difference in the texture of my skin and hydrates my skin. I’m very satisfied with it.”

And a fourth gushes: “I love this serum. It’s a creamy serum. You only need one pump, maybe two pumps. It’s very hydrating & goes on your skin like velvet. You will have glowy skin. It’s a glow, not oily looking!! Worth the money & worth being part of my skincare!”

Axed Love Island star breaks silence on sad return home after machete arrest

Kyle Ashman, who was removed from the upcoming series before the show even began, has insisted he is not a bad guy in an interview with X-LOVE Island.

Kyle Ashman, the star of Axed Love Island, insists in a new video that he is “not a bad guy” and that he hopes to participate in this year’s ITV dating show despite being cut from the lineup shortly after he was announced.

Kyle, 23, was announced earlier this week as a member of the upcoming line-up for this year’s upcoming trip to the villa in search of romance. However, his time in the limelight was abruptly cut short as a report claimed the water operative was detained and interrogated by police in Stafford as well as another person for an alleged attack that occurred in February of that year.

Following the reports, Kyle and ITV spoke out on his departure from the show. Kyle strongly denied having any involvement in the incident. He said: “I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.” Meanwhile, ITV told the Mirror: “For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.”

Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned, according to ITV’s statement regarding his departure.

Kyle has shared his hopes for participating in this year’s series in a video he posted online since returning home. Kyle says, “Hello everyone, I’m Kyle, I’m Kyle, and I’m wearing a white verst and jeans and a cup. I just came on here to let you know how the news has been circulating. There was no further action because I’m innocent.

As he continues, “I’m not a bad guy, I’m not a bad guy,” he sighs. I’m a regular guy who lives in a regular place. And a match was made for love. It was taken from me after I used both of my hands to grab it. I’ve seen all the support pages, and who knows, I might have a chance to join Casa Amor or work as a bombshell, and introduce myself to you. He says, “We’ll see,” and he nods his head.

A statement from Staffordshire Police read: “We were called to a social club on Riverway, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Friday 28 February following reports that someone had been glassed outside and a fight was taking place.

Some of the men involved were carrying weapons and wearing masks. After suffering injuries at the scene, two men rushed to a hospital. Both have since been released.

At the scene, a man and a woman suffered minor wounds but did not require medical care.

A 22-year-old Stafford resident was detained on suspicion of assault and wounds. On suspicion of affray, another man, also from Stafford, was detained. Without any further action, neither of them were released.

Kyle had discussed his expectations for the show and how he chatted up his love interests before entering the villa. He said, “I just go with it, find a compliment on a girl, and go from there.” The actor continued, “The star said he was looking for someone who was fun, self-assured, and independent.”

Kyle’s replacement was confirmed last night despite Kyle’s absence from the show. Conor will instead be searching for love, according to the show. He claimed when asked about signing up for the show that he wanted someone who was “absolutely confident in themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter, and good craic.”

Blu, Shakira, Harry, Helena, Megan, Tommy, Alima, Ben, Sophie Lee, Dejon, and Meg all appear in the villa together. On Monday, June 9 at 9 p.m., ITV2 will begin airing the new series.

[VIDEO] Hajj: Saudi Authorities Deploy 40,000 Operatives

40, 000 security personnel have been deployed in the Saudi government in order to ensure a hitch-free 2025 Hajj exercise. &nbsp,

Teams have been trained and deployed to combat any potential threats, with the introduction of a drone to support firefighting and rescue efforts for the first time, from security and safety to health and safety to health and rapid response.

40 000 people have also been stationed in the multilayered security strategy to manage traffic, manage crowds, and provide quick response and surveillance.

Authorities report that 415 fake Hajj offices were detained, 415 illegal pilgrims were expelled, and 109, 632 vehicles were returned in violation of Hajj regulations.

This Grand Hajj Symposium was held in Jeddah in collaboration with the Council of Senior Scholars and the King Abdulaziz Foundation for Research and Archives (Darah).

In order to uphold the objectives of Islamic law, the ministry is attempting to highlight the concept of capacity in the symposium.

The 49th edition of the 2025 Grand Hajj symposium attracted ministers, senior scholars, heads of Hajj offices and missions, including Nigeria, as well as experts from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and abroad.

It examined one of the most important concepts in contemporary Hajj jurisprudence, encouraging knowledge exchange to support pilgrims, and not just showcased diverse scholarly and intellectual experiences.

As it prepares for a smooth Hajj exercise, the Interior Ministry also held a press conference for the Saudi Security Forces commanders in Makkah.

The General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense announced that for the first time this year’s Hajj will be conducted using a drone for firefighting and response, providing details on preparations and technological advancements made to ensure a smooth exercise.

The drone, which has the name “Falcon” and has been enhanced with artificial intelligence, can take off in 12 hours and is ready to use in difficult-to-access areas.

More personnel are needed to coordinate with security agencies and monitor the security situation in emergency security situations, according to the National Center for Security Operations, 911.

AbdulAzeez Al Ghamdi, the spokesperson for the Saudi National Center for Security Operations, reported that this year, the use of sophisticated infrastructure has also shortened response times.

He stated that the Makkah region 911’s special plan for the hajj season includes an analysis of the calls made during previous Al-Hajj seasons and an increase in the number of calls that will be made this year. We also increased our forces and call takers so that we can respond to all the calls. The CCTV camera, which records all holy sites, has also been expanded.

We respond to all calls in less than two seconds thanks to the most cutting-edge technology. Three main details appear on the system when a call is made: the caller’s name, the number, and the location. In less than 45 seconds, we send a report to the specialized entity if necessary.

The authorities have mobilized staff at Mina’s health emergency operations center in addition to focusing on security and safety.

The Medical Referral Center Nawfal Aljerian’s Chief Operations Officer stated that all measures had been in place to deal with health emergencies.

He instructed pilgrims to engage in medical procedures to control the heat, revealing that this year’s delivery time has decreased from one hour and twenty minutes to six minutes.

“This is a system of care where health authorities are able to provide quality services, assist decision-makers in getting the right questions and answers, and provide the right information at the same time.”

All Hajjis (pilgrims) make their best efforts to rest when they can, stay away from direct sunlight, use umbrellas, and drink a lot of water, both as a doctor and as an emergency physician at this time.

He continued, “We are using drones this year to deliver medications to some areas, and that has reduced the time from an hour and twenty minutes to six minutes this year.”
