This £15 viral hair oil is truly worth the hype because my hair looks fuller in a month.

It has the right amount of shine and feels incredibly comfortable on the lips, according to another pleased customer. Undoubtedly a necessity in my makeup bag, says the Manchester Evening News.

A customer expressed praise for it by adding, “It’s the ideal balance of hydration, color, and shine.” My lips feel soft and nourished because of the shea butter and natural oils, and the texture is super smooth, not sticky, and smooth.

Despite the widespread support, the product has its flaws, with some customers expressing dissatisfaction with the application process: “Extremely challenging, uneven, peculiar smell, and non lasting. This is never going to be purchased again.

The Biossance Pro Peptide Lip Perfector is currently available at LookFantastic for £11.25. If you’re looking for another deal, look for £11.25. It contains vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, which means smoother, plumper lips.

Kim Turnbull first fell in love with Romeo Beckham last summer, and the Beckham family has been deeply tensed by her new romance due to rumors about a past feud with Brooklyn.

The Beckhams are known for being one of the most tight-knit families in showbiz, but that seems to have changed. David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations might have confirmed a rift in the pack, and sources say it could all be down to newcomer Kim Turnbull.

David celebrated his big milestone at the fancy Core restaurant in London, and it was attended by stars including Guy Ritchie, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay. And, of course, his family all turned up – bar Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.

Kim, 24, was there as the girlfriend of Romeo Beckham, 22, and is said to be the reason behind Brooklyn’s absence, with the brothers reportedly no longer on speaking terms due to the relationship, despite her closeness with the rest of the family. But who is Kim, and why has her appearance put such a spanner in the works for David, Victoria, and their four children?

Kim herself has a very wealthy background, and she is not a stranger to fame. While Romain’s girlfriend is the granddaughter of world-renowned post-war artist and painter William Turnbull, her parents Johnny and Alex were members of the 1979 post-punk band 23 Skidoo.

Kim, who primarily works as a model and DJ, appears to have acquired Turnbull’s creative abilities. Beyond his punk background, her father, who founded the UK hip hop label Ronin Records and has a lot of connections in the music business, are also related to her father.

Kim, who has collaborated with numerous fashion companies, including Tommy Hilfiger, leads a similarly glamorous social life to her Beckham boyfriend, and enjoys attending exclusive events with other celebrities.

Kim was well-known for her closeness with Brooklyn, many sources claiming that they had a romantic relationship before she started dating Romeo.

In their late teens, Kim formed a close trio with Brooklyn and Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, whom she befriended soon after he moved to London. Aside from spending time as a group, Brooklyn and Kim also spent lots of time as a duo and were pictured enjoying lunch together in 2016, with many sources claiming that they were dating.

Kim and Rocco started dating in 2017, the year that it was rumored to be related, but Brooklyn continued to enjoy their mutual friendship.

The family remains firm in dispelling rumours that Brooklyn dated Kim, and Cruz Beckham recently weighed in on the discussion. In a now deleted post, a fan wrote in response to a photo of Kim and Romeo: “It’s appropriate to date your brother’s ex too? Cool.” Before the post disappeared, Cruz reportedly stated: “Brooklyn and Kim never dated.”

Years later, sources have told TMZ that Romeo’s relationship with Kim is playing its part in the siblings falling out considering Brooklyn’s own history with her. Concerning the rumoured past romance, a source assured that “that’s all water under the bridge” considering Brooklyn is happily married to Nicola, but that “the issue at hand is the couple questions whether Kim has the right intentions in dating Romeo”.

Now, the outlet reports that Brooklyn has told his family that he will not attend any family events that Kim is also invited to. Considering Kim was at David’s birthday, Brooklyn is now said to be feeling left out and feels his family have chosen to side against him. A source close to Brooklyn told The Sun: “He flew to London with the sole intention of seeing his family and celebrating his dad’s birthday.

He suggested having breakfast or a cup of coffee, but he was informed that Kim would likely attend one of their lavish parties, so he objected. His parents, in his opinion, have preferred Romeo and his new girlfriend over him.

Despite the strict phone ban, Rapper Megan Thee Stallion risked upsetting Met Gala host Anna Wintour by providing fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the lavish event.

The Met Gala returned for another year as A-list stars descended on New York to attend Anna Wintour’s lavish event. They flocked to the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art for the bash held by the Vogue editor-in-chief.

Held on the first Monday of May each year, the annual haute couture fundraising festival sees attempt at following the theme (or failing miserably). This year’s Met Gala had the theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and the accompanying dress code is Tailored for You.

The event was co-chaired by Anna, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A $AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and honorary chair LeBron James.

The exclusive guest list includes 450 names from various industries, including technology, sports, sports, entertainment, and beyond. However, getting an invitation is only the start because attendees must purchase a ticket, which cost $75, 000 last year.

The Met Gala’s strict policy requires that attendees use their phones only while inside the venue and that they are not permitted to post photos on social media during the event.

Yet, Megan Thee Stallion defied the request as she gave fans a very sneaky look inside the four walls of the event. The rapper posted her own vlog of the Met Gala as she tucked into various canapés with WNBA star Angel Reese and rapper Doechii.

Before Megan took her fans inside the opulent venue, the trio gave their frank evaluations of the food. She met other stars while visiting The Metropolitan Museum of Art along with Tracee Ellis Ross.

Megan acknowledged that she wasn’t supposed to be on her phone, but she was already aware of Anna’s guidelines. The music producer’s ex-girlfriend found the tape that had “snuck” her camera inside and removed.

Phones and selfies have been banned from the exclusive event since 2015, but Megan isn’t the only one to have ever broken the rules. Kylie Jenner famously shared snaps from the bash in the past.

However, Megan’s fans continued to warn her as one phrased: “GIRL now be careful. Thank you for the inside information, but the pictures in the bathrooms show smoking.

Another phrase was added, “Girl, they’re going to get you.” Someone else said, “She done snuck that phone in there Meg, you gone get us in trouble but thanks.” Fourth author remarked, “Here, Anna, make you delete this.” Another person thanked you for this forbidden footage, “Sis.”

Megan bumped into Cynthia Erivo, the star of Wicked, while filming the event. Then she made her way over to Angela Bassett, who she described as stunning, and showed off Lupita Nyong’o’s “stunning” rhinestone eyebrows, which she called beautiful.

Serena Williams and Megan snuck their phone in before Megan admitted to doing it.

The Vogue boss dispelled the ingrained myth that she must approve of all outfits that celebrities wear to the Met Gala before the event in its entirety.

She revealed that many A-list guests ask for advice freely and without having to give them her official approval.

Michael Strahan, the host of Good Morning America, questioned Anna about whether she had to approve all the outfits seen on the red carpet, and she responded, “No.”

Anna continued, “We try to help some of them as much as we can, because many call and ask our advice. Some people have no idea.

Co-chair Pharrell Williams made a point about having a room full of successful Black people from all walks of life before the event.

He told Vogue: “It’s so important to me to have successful Black and brown people of every stripe in the room: not just athletes and actors and actresses, entertainers, but also authors, architects, folks from the fintech world.

We must make an investment in one another. It’s going to take everyone to unite the forces of Black and Brown genius into a single, effective force.

The dress received praise from customers for its “perfect fit,” flattering cut, and “beautiful” color.

A “gorgeous” and “flattering” tea dress that customers love has been discounted by Boden. From just £136, you can purchase the Bright Blue Cynthia Button Tea Dress. The price of the dress is also lower than the rich emerald color, but only the blue polka dot style is offered.

The dress is typically available in sizes four to twenty, but some sizes have already sold out. It can be purchased in petite or regular sizes. The dress can be worn “for years,” according to Boden, and it is simple to wear on numerous occasions.

This tea dress is oh-so-wearable for many occasions, not just those that involve scones, according to the product description. The dress has a regular shape that is meant to fit mid-calf. It has a self-tie waist back, button-fastening front, and a lined bodice.

Debenhams sells a similar Roman Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress for £55. The polka dot style is well-liked by customers. Additionally, New Look offers an Apricot Blue Polka Dot Midi Dress for £49 while Finery London offers a Talise Blue Polka Dot Print Midi Dress for £44.50.

Shoppers have rated Boden’s Cynthia Button Tea Dress for its “flattering” fit, with many praising the style. What a gorgeous dress, one customer said. The color is stunning. It is extremely flattering and classic. Although it costs a little bit more, I believe I’ll keep using it for years.

“Lovely dress,” another customer said. Fits perfectly, and the color is stunning in blue. A third responded, “Love the dress, but the fabric made it a little more formal than I wanted.” Ordering was simple, products were quick to ship, and returns were simple. Bravo.

Another user commented, “Great color and great cut: I like how the button placket is still completely opaque because it is still lined with fabric.” However, another person praised the dress as “lovely because of the shape and color.”

“I’m normally a size 12 in Boden, but this dress was huge on me, so sadly had to return because it was far too long on my 5ft frame (ordered petite). A customer complained that the waist could be a little lower due to the easy flowing fabric. Great color! A different reviewer concurred. Comfortable with a little high waist!

Another purchaser of the green dress added, “I SO wanted to love this because it looks really pretty on the model, but when I tried it on, I felt a little dated,” which was confirmed by my very sweet but sincere boyfriend, who referred to it as “an old lady dress.” Given that the silhouette was nice, a different pattern or color might have worked. I had to give it back, but I was hopeful.

Boden’s sale also includes its Jen Cotton Midi Dress, which is now £56.25, down from its original price of £125. Boden suggests the dress would be perfect for occasions. The product description states: “Holiday, wedding, christening, important work meeting, dinner with friends – get yourself a dress that can tackle any occasion. This one’s just the ticket. Lightweight printed cotton is cut to a flowy, long-sleeved shape that’s finished with a notch neck and belted waist.”

Despite having numerous cosmetic procedures over the years, Lauren Goodger now regrets her experience and requests that her breast implants be removed.

In an effort to feel like her “normal self” once more and be “natural,” Lauren Goodger has revealed that she wants to have her breast implants removed after 11 years.

The 38-year-old former TOWIE star revealed her plans to reduce breast size in a candid Instagram post on Monday, May 5, alongside a photo of her donning pink lingerie. She remarked, “One of the things I regret later in life is having a breast augmentation 11 years ago.” I used to have the ideal boobs, but they have since changed and made me look bigger than before.

Also, they are heavy, and I miss my old boob so much that I’ve found someone to be interested in having my consultation with @marksolomos! I’ve wanted them removed for a long time, but it’s the last thing I can do because I’ve been waiting for anxiety to end them.

“I’m bringing you along with me, but it’s still in its early stages!” I’m terrified, but I’m also having implants removed to return to my normal self and want to restore everything to how it was before.

Lauren, who first appeared on TOWIE in 2010 and was first portrayed on the show in 2010, underwent a 34D breast augmentation in 2014. She previously said she loved her breasts, but she recently expressed regret for the procedure.

The Essex mother, who lost her daughter Lorena shortly after giving birth in 2022, also underwent a “brazilian butt lift” (BBL) in Turkey in 2017. She now regrets deeply that she removed the fat from her stomach, thighs, back, and hips and injected them into her bum.

She stated to Closer just last year, “I looked the b****ks when I had everything finished. I adored how my boobs looked in pictures and received so much attention. But I now regret not having anything. I want to know everything.

My bum and boobs make me look bigger and hurt me, they say. I want to go back to being natural and change everything.

Lauren also told OK! magazine last year that she didn’t want “anything fake” in her body but was concerned about reversing the surgery. She said: “I don’t want any silicone in my body – I don’t want anything fake.

My boobs should be natural, I want. These large, plastic objects on top of your lungs are not good for you. Because of my boobs, I have trouble breathing and am constantly out of breath. I’m unable to purchase any bras or dresses that will fit me. They are “absolutely massive.”

She said, “When you get things done when you’re younger, it’s great.” I felt fantastic, felt fantastic, and had a great time with them. They no longer look as good as they did when I was older, I had two kids, and I breastfed them. They’ve dropped, they’re absolutely massive, and they make me look bigger. I’d probably look half the size if I got rid of them.

In light of her earlier choices, Lauren wants to impart knowledge about the value of health to her own daughter and the younger generation. She expressed her desire for her child to remain the same age as her, even in terms of her hair color.

The former TOWIE star also mentioned that she has Botox three times a year but hasn’t had fillers in more than two years. The TV star, who has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing on Ice, and Celebs Go Dating, stated that she only wants to be “healthier and happier” and doesn’t drink, smoke, vape, or drink coffee.

The numerous A-listers in attendance yesterday included Madonna, Chappell Roan, and Lewis Hamilton all sporting outfits with the theme of “Tailored for You.”

Vogue icon Anna Wintour reportedly banned four surprising foods from the extravagant Met Gala menu. The annual New York event saw countless celebrities gather at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for one of the biggest nights in fashion.

Madonna, Chappell Roan, and Lewis Hamilton were among the many A-listers in attendance yesterday, donning outfits in the theme of ‘Tailored for You’. The stars walked across the blue carpet before heading inside to view the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition while enjoying music and dinner.

Wintour, a former Vogue employee, calls the shots on what chefs can and can’t serve, which allegedly includes a four-essential food ban. Her hit list includes parsley, garlic, onion, and bruschetta, which you might not normally think of as messy spaghetti or corn on the cob.

The source explained that while onion and garlic are notorious for causing bad breath, parsley is off the menu ‘because you don’t want that stuck in your teeth’. Albeit delicious, the New York Post also reported in 2016 that bruschetta can ‘fall easily’ on gowns – a costly mistake.

Kwame Onwuachi was the chef responsible for creating and executing the Met Gala’s 2025 menu. In a recent interview with Vogue, he said that Black experiences of fashion were at the heart of his dishes.

He continued, “We can be poetic as we want, but it has to be good at the end of the day, but it’s pulled from so many different avenues and routes of the diaspora,” adding, “I was inspired by Black dandyism and the Black experience in fashion.”

Guests were given a variety of small dishes at cocktail hour last night. These included hoecakes with crispy chicken, curry chicken patties, and cornbread with caviar.

First course was served as a curry with a piri piri salad and a cucumber in a Caribbean green-seasoning marinade. Then, hot sauce, rice, and peas were served with creole roasted chicken with lemon emulsion.

Dessert was ‘Bodega Special Cosmic Brownie’ – a sugary doughnut mousse treat—and golden cake with honey-sweet cream. Onwuachi added: “All throughout the meal, there are different aspects of blackness throughout the world represented at the highest level.”
