TV cook Nigella Lawson shares the £29 secret to her crease-free under-eyes

View 2 Images

When the eternally youthful Nigella Lawson recommends a beauty product rather than a recipe, we take note. This week, the effortlessly glamorous TV cook shared her latest ‘make-up bag heroes’, and among them was one skincare gem that immediately had us zooming in: DoSe by VH Vitamin C Eye Cream, £29.

Nigella, to her own admission, has never been one for long-winded skincare rituals, preferring smart formulas that actually earn their place on her bathroom shelf. So, when she admitted that this particular eye cream made her look forward to applying it, you know it’s something special. She also credited it with making her foundation sit better under her eyes — a solution to a problem many of us face.

As we age, we might want more coverage, but too much only draws attention to fine lines. A product that smooths and preps the skin, meaning you need less makeup overall, is an essential for all pre-makeup routines.

Nigella says: “I would be failing in my duty here if I didn’t tell you about DoSe Vitamin C Eye Cream. I’m incredibly lazy (and hate transitional states) so I’m always after the fastest make-up routine possible, but the feel of this eye cream is so silky and so calming, I actually look forward to putting it on. The clincher is that it really has seemed to make foundation sit so much better under my eyes and, moreover, makes me need less of it. This is crucial as, while you might need more cover-up there as you get older, the sad truth is that the more you pile on, the more it can seem to age you”.

At first glance, the DoSe by VH Vitamin C Eye Cream looks like a typical sleek white tube, but what’s inside is doing all the heavy lifting. The formula is powered by tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, an oil-soluble form of vitamin C that brightens and firms. It’s joined by caffeine, which helps to depuff and revive tired eyes, plus a few smoothing emollients to keep everything hydrated and crease-free. The cooling metal tip of the applicator also instantly wakes up your face with one sweep.

At £29, it’s not a bargain buy, but it’s a far cry from the eye creams that can easily stretch past the £100 mark. Given the buzz and the fact it’s now sitting pretty in Nigella’s own makeup bag, it’s safe to assume this multitasking little tube won’t stay a quiet secret for long.

Taylor Swift has announced some massive career news. The singer has signed a huge contract with Disney Plus to create a docuseries and release a new concert film about her international and ultra-successful Eras Tour, which will be released in just a few weeks.

The Fate of Ophelia singer confirmed that the series had been commissioned on Monday (13 October). Titled The End of an Era and The Eras Tour Final Show, both the docuseries and concert film will be available to stream on Disney Plus from 12 December.

When announcing the six part series, it was said to be “an intimate look at Taylor’s life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world”.

Alongside focusing on Taylor, it will also cover some of her support acts and collaborators such as Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran and Florence Welch.

The concert film, which follows her performance in Vancouver, will drop at the same time. While Taylor has released a previous Eras Tour film, the last one was made before the release of her album The Tortured Poets Department, and therefore, did not include any of those songs.

Not only will the Final Show film include the segment of Tortured Poets songs, but it will include the two surprise songs Taylor sand in Vancouver. These were a mash-up of A Place In This World and New Romantics, and another of Long Live and New Year’s Day.

After announcing the news on Good Morning America, Taylor posted the trailer to her Instagram. In the caption, she wrote: “It was the End of an Era and we knew it.

“We wanted to remember every moment leading up to the culmination of the most important and intense chapter of our lives, so we allowed filmmakers to capture this tour and all the stories woven throughout it as it wound down. And to film the final show in its entirety.”

in the trailer, Taylor is heard saying: “People like to talk about phenomenons, almost as if it was pieces falling into place. As if it just happened.

“The Eras Tour wasn’t when all the pieces fell into place. This tour is just when every single one of us who had done so much work, pushing, inch by inch to where we all clicked together.

“We have broken every single record you can break with this tour. The only thing left is to close the book.” This is all over clips of the Eras Tour and Taylor’s performances.

She is then seen taking her makeup off in the bathroom, and says: “I will not be able to get to sleep. I can’t calm down.” She explains that she had also signed 2000 album covers that day.

Chrissy Teigan discovered her young son had Type 1 Diabetes when doctors ran blood tests on him in the hospital after he struggled to recover from an illness he got at summer camp

Chrissy Teigen has opened up about the fear and uncertainty she felt after her six-year-old son, Miles, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last summer.

The model, 39, shares four children — Luna, eight, Miles, six, Esti, two, and 22-month-old Wren — with her husband, famous singer John Legend.

Chrissy has spoken about what she felt in the moments after doctors found out about Miles’ condition when he suddenly fell ill at summer camp.

In a chat with PEOPLE at Hello Sunshine’s Shine Away event on Saturday (Oct 11), she admitted: “When Miles was first diagnosed, we were really scared, we were really nervous.

“I probably played it really cool, just because I’m used to a lot of chaotic things happening all the time, but I had no idea how much I would have to learn, how quickly.”

Miles, who Teigen described as “very active,” was initially taken to the hospital with what doctors thought was an intestinal infection. But as his condition got worse, they ran some tests and discovered the young boy had Type 1 Diabetes.

This is a lifelong autoimmune condition where the body stops producing insulin, leading to dangerously high blood sugar levels. “He asked, ‘Why, why me? How come not Luna?’” Teigen recalled. “And to not have an answer for that is really weird.”

Since then, Chrissy has become an advocate for diabetes awareness. The model partnered with Sanofi’s Screen For Type 1 campaign to encourage early detection and testing.

She shared that screening “means a lot to me, because I know how much it would have meant to have a few extra months, or weeks even, instead of being completely thrown into something that you had no idea about”.

During her talk with PEOPLE, Chrissy also spoke about her friendship with Meghan Markle, praising the Duchess of Sussex for being a “kind” and “incredibly strong” person.

Chrissy appeared in season two of With Love, Meghan, which debuted on August 26. In the show, Meghan invites friends and celebrity guests to a stunning California estate where they cook and garden together while sharing personal stories.

Chrissy shared: “I adore her. I really adore her. I think she is so incredibly strong.” The Cravings author continued to defend Meghan from the public scrutiny that often surrounds her, saying she doesn’t understand why the Duchess divides opinion.

She said: “It is insane to me how polarising she is for so many different people, when she really is just such a kind, good person that wants the best for all her friends and the best for people around her, and the best for her own relationship and for her children.”

The model also discussed the possibility of arranging playdates between her children and Meghan and Prince Harry’s kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

“I don’t leave the house,” she quipped. “I’m not joking. I don’t go anywhere. I try to do every photo shoot, every everything at our house. So no. But if the time came up, absolutely.”
