This popular make-up brand has just dropped a cool new perfume perfect for everyday, described as ‘the fragrance equivalent of your favourite jeans or that perfect white shirt’

Jones Road is known for its easy-to-use products – including bestsellers such as its grey brow pencil and youth-enhancing Miracle Balm – and now the much-loved make-up brand has just launched a new fragrance that’s equally as cool and effortless.

Jones Road’s BKLYN parfum has just gone live today on the Jones Road website and at Liberty, priced at £44 for a 30ml bottle. Inspired by the iconic area of New York City and described as ‘a unisex scent with notes of lemon, neroli and sandalwood’, shoppers are describing it as a ‘clean and fresh’ fragrance that ‘makes you feel put together without feeling overdone’.

Speaking about the perfume, Jones Road founder and make-up artist Bobbi Brown says, “BKLYN is everything I love about the borough — it’s cool without trying, sophisticated without being stuffy, and completely authentic. It’s the fragrance equivalent of your favourite lived-in jeans or that perfect white shirt — it just works, no matter what.”

Jones Road has previously sold BKLYN in lab packaging, where it racked up hundreds of five-star reviews from shoppers:

“Lovely and fresh. Smells even better as the day goes on. Try it and you’ll smell so good!” one person wrote.

“Light and youthful scent,” another called it.

“A clean fragrance I can wear! I’m very sensitive to perfumes so this was a great find for me,” a third review reads.

Some, however, wished it lasted a little longer on this skin: “I am really liking this fragrance… It is not overpowering at all… in fact I wish it lasted a bit longer after I apply it,” reads one comment.

While you’re browsing the Jones Road website, the new Jones Road Miracle Balm Palette, £34, comes highly recommended. Available in four colourways, each palette contains three Miracle Balm shades that offer a tint, a blush and a highlight.

The portable palette has proved popular since its relaunch, securing a 4.27-star rating from over 640 online reviews. One customer remarked: “This product makes my face look younger with a glow.”

Another buyer commented: “I’m an older, dry-skinned person and these miracle balms are all I use now – I look younger while wearing [it]. The mini compacts are perfect for leaving the house etc.”

If you’re looking for other scents that are perfect for this time of year, we’ve also been really impressed with Rare Beauty’s new fragrance. Selena Gomez’s beauty brand has just launched its first ever perfume, Rare Eau De Parfum, priced at £71 for a 50ml bottle. Not expecting to particularly love it, it has become a new firm favourite.

And while high street fashion labels aren’t normally the first place I’d turn to when shopping for a new fragrance, popular clothing brand Never Fully Dressed’s new perfumes have totally blown me away.

Yungblud and Aerosmith came together at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards to pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne but it seems not all were impressed by the show

Ozzy Osbourne’s friend Yungblud teamed up with Aerosmith at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards for a touching tribute to the late rocker, yet it didn’t go down well with everyone. The musicians came together to perform a medley of hits by the Prince of Darkness.

The Black Sabbath frontman’s family even appeared in clips before the performance dedicated to Ozzy, who died in July aged 76. Yungblud kicked off the tribute by singing Crazy Train and Changes with Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourton guitar.

They were then joined by the Aerosmith duo Steven Tyler and Joe Perry for Mama, I’m Coming Home at the star-studded bash at New York’s UBS Arena on Sunday night.

After the performance, the quartet embraced and Yungblud shouted: “Ozzy forever man!” However, not everyone was impressed by the tribute.

The Darkness’ Dan Hawkins has since branded the tribute to Ozzy as “another nail in the coffin of rock ‘n’ roll.” The guitarist fumed on Instagram : “Another nail in the coffin of rock n roll. Cynical, nauseating and more importantly; s***.”

Seemingly referring to Yungblud, he added: “Makes me sick how people jump on this s*** to further their own careers.” He also captioned a clip from Mama, I’m Coming Home: “What a bunch of b***ends.”

The footage showed pop star Ariana Grande rocking out to the performance and appearing in awe. Speaking before the tribute, Nuno, 58, said he knew the tribute – which was introduced by Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne and his four children via video link – would be emotional.

He told People magazine on the red carpet that his “15-year-old self” couldn’t “believe” he’d be performing for Ozzy. Nuno added: “We’re gonna blow the roof off the place and I think the fans are gonna be pleased. Maybe a few tears at the end.”

Aerosmith previously paid tribute to Ozzy, who they described as their “brother in rock”, following his death. They wrote on Instagram at the time: “We’re heartbroken to hear about the passing of our brother in rock, Ozzy Osbourne. A voice that changed music forever.

“From Black Sabbath to his solo work, Ozzy redefined what it meant to be heavy. He did it all with heart, grit, and that wild spirit only he could bring. Our love goes out to Sharon, his family, his band, and the millions around the world who felt his fire.”

Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, also shared a touching social media post following Ozzy’s death. He said: “I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.”

He shared a series of candid photos of himself chatting and smiling alongside the music icon. Yungblud wrote in an emotional caption: “I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room.

“But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don’t. I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.

“Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.”

A teaser trailer has now been released, giving further insight into the issues that await the siblings, who co-produced the film, as part of the plot. And a message in the video teases: “This holiday season … Let it bro. Let it bro. Let it bro.”

The teaser opens with the band on tour in the UK, before Kevin says: “I haven’t seen my kids in like a month.” Nick is then seen telling his wife Priyanka Chopra whilst on a video call with her: “We’re gonna get home for Christmas.”

Viewers then see the character Brad, played by Randall Park, asking the brothers: “Are you boys sure you’re okay with getting to the plane tomorrow without me?” Brad adds: “I can stay another night just to make sure you get home okay.” Nick replies to him: “It’s one night, Brad, we’ll be fine.”

The teaser hints at chaos following the remark, including facing a broken down car on their journey. Another scene shows the trio surrounded by wolves in the woods, with Joe teasing: “I’m sorry we never got to hear you sing, Kevin, I’m sure your voice is pretty okay.” Kevin replies: “Thank you!”

Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section on YouTube, where the teaser trailer has almost 4 million views. One said: “I am super excited.” Another wrote: “Welcome back to Disney, Jonas Brothers. God bless everyone.”

Someone else commented: “The Jonas Brothers are BACK.” A fourth fan said: “Oh this is gonna be so much fun to watch!” Another viewer responded to the video: “OMG. I’m SO excited!!!” Sharing their thoughts, one fan wrote: “I can’t wait for this movie.” Whilst another fan said: “They’re back.”

Other characters are played by the likes of Chloe Bennet, Billie Lourd, Laverne Cox, KJ Apa, Andrew Barth Feldman, Andrea Martin and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The cast also includes Kenny G and Justin Tranter as versions of themselves.

A Very Jonas Christmas Movie premieres on Disney+ on November 14.

The Celebrity Big Brother star has hinted wedding bells are in the near future for her and the former Love Islander

Do we hear wedding bells? Maybe! Jojo Siwa has let slip a massive clue hinting at marriage plans with Chris Hughes.

The pair have been going strong since they met on Celebrity Big Brother in April and it now appears that marriage may not be too far away fro the lovebirds.

Jojo, 22, has been hinting at progressing her relationship with former Love Islander Chris, 32, for a while. Most recently, the former Dance Moms star liked a post from a wedding planner called Posh Vows. The post was about the timeline of beauty treatments a bride should get leading up to the big day, so some have wondered if Jojo liked the post to make sure she can refer back to it when the time comes for her and Chris to tie the knot.

Since they met in the Big Brother house, Jojo and Chris have both been very open about their relationship. Talking to The Sun, Jojo spoke explicitly about a potential wedding, including little details she’s already thought about: “A wedding is a two-person thing. So we would have to decide what it looks like. But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.

“Otherwise, it’ll be all songs I don’t know! He likes to educate me on music. He loves The 1975 and all these boy bands, but I don’t know any of them as they are British. Give me some NSYNC or Backstreet Boys!”

She added that there are some things she wants to keep quiet, despite how open the couple has been: “At the end of the day, we have a very public life, but we are still two humans who love each other very much. So as much as we love to share stuff, we always like to keep some stuff to ourselves, too.”

A lot of their relationship has been shared to the public, from social media posts of the couple on holiday and attending a friend’s wedding to Chris revealing they may have plans for a fly-on-the-wall reality show that would centre on their romance. He told PA News Agency: “It’s something we’d definitely enjoy, we love spending time together of course, and to kind of showcase that to everyone.”

Of course, this would be in keeping with how public the start of their relationship was. Meeting and getting to know each other on the TV show Celebrity Big Brother, the public were privy to most of the couple’s initial conversations and the blossoming of their friendship.

This led to a lot of controversy at the time as Jojo was at the time in a relationship with Australian actor and content creator Kath Ebbs. Kath took to social media shortly after the Love Island final to announce they were dumped at an after-party for the show after being “hurt” over Jojo’s closeness with Chris on the show.

Jojo addressed the situation on This Morning, saying it was not the plan but “one thing led to another”.

“I’ll be honest – that was not a plan. That was not an intention. That was not supposed to happen like that. Initially I was told that y’know the wrap party was something they didn’t want to attend.

“Then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just gonna have a conversation before and then it just led to another. They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said no. And one thing led to another and that conversation did take place there.”

Since then, Kath has started dating someone knew – an Australian footballer, Tilly Lucas-Rodd, and Jojo and Chris have gone from strength to strength.
