Paige Louise Williams, founder of cosmetics company P. Louise, keeps it real with her fans, and she’s recently opened up in a TikTok carousel about the highs and lows of this year, sharing that she never thought she’d be in this position, but also admitting that she’s had some upsetting moments.

She claims she founded her beauty empire with “no money” from scratch, and she has never shied away from her humble beginnings. I’m forever grateful that I can call this my life despite all of the difficulties she encountered. Then, she revealed what her 2025 highs and lows were to fans.

The 32-year-old, who was raised on a council estate in Droylsden, Greater Manchester, acknowledged that there were times when she questioned whether or not she “wanted to continue with the brand” because she was becoming “torn apart” online for various reasons.

But she had the amazing opportunity to speak about her recent success with P. Louise with a “world-renowned brand” in Paris.

And she gave her documentary a private screening with the people closest to her.

However, she accidentally invested £300,000 to create Bad B**** Energy phone cases for fans, which “failed,” leaving her with the money she had invested.

She continued, however, that she is constantly working to “improve the experiences” that her customers have when they visit her stores in person to give them the most “magical time.”

Paige’s business received significant media attention, earned top-notch reviews, and even secured a store at Trafford Palazzo. It made it onto The Times’ list of the fastest-growing businesses.

However, Paige and her team were severely impacted by the shop’s “failed deadline.” She disclosed that the Trafford Centre store’s entire workforce had been “relocated to the Empire in Stockport.”

Despite this setback, she enjoyed a “summer full of memories that will last a lifetime” and managed to deck out the Empire for Christmas in just 24 hours, thanks to her team’s hard work.

She also “took over the cafe at the Empire” to perfect her menu, and she established her own lip oil station at the Empire where customers can personalize their lip oil packaging with charms.

However, some issues “deeply hit her,” such as customers who “question” her “integrity” over her Christmas pyjamas, hit her.

When the website incorrectly stated the pyjamas were 100% cotton, instead of the actual 95% viscose and 5% elastane, she acknowledged making an “honest mistake in the PJ description.”

Many fans questioned Paige’s integrity, which has “weighed heavily” on her.

Paige mentioned on a personal note that she had lost a lot of weight and felt great as a result. She did, however, acknowledge developing a number of “unhealthy habits” as a result of “working long hours.”

Now, she’s “preparing for Black Friday,” where she and the team will “hopefully put all of our learnings and failures into action from previous years”.

Her “first girls’ holiday” made it past the group chat, and she and her staff “broke the record and made £2 million on a live” on TikTok.

Yet when Pinkmas was scrapped, she revealed it felt like her “whole world fell apart”.

A P. Louise pantomime, ice skating, and much more were scheduled for the Trafford Centre for Pinkmas.

Tickets cost $60 during off-peak and $80 during peak times. However, it was voided as a result of “licensing issues.”

In response, Paige stated that “every ticket holder will receive the following as a thank you for your patience and understanding” and that all ticket holders would receive a full refund.

• Your Pinkmas reservation will be refunded entirely.
• A complimentary tour of the P. Louise Empire
• The Empire’s Lip Oil Room is accessible.
• The Christmas Experience is completely free of charge.
• A £20 drink voucher is also included with each booking.

A P. Louise 12 Sleighs of Christmas Advent Calendar (worth £200) will be provided in the event of a cancellation of the Empire.

However, she gained 1 million TikTok followers, participated in a photo shoot that showed her how “confident” she is in her “own skin,” said that “younger Paige could only dream of this,” and pledged that “many more are coming” with her “first Bad B**** collab.

The Cable Knit Maxi Dress retails for around £139 on Karen Millen’s website, but for a limited time the high street favorite has reduced the price by 30%. This means that it can be purchased for less than £100, with a discount lowering it to just £97.30.

The Karen Millen maxi dress’s ribbed waistband helps to maintain a flattering fit, despite the fact that knitted dresses can typically be a little bulky or a little shapeless. This not only makes the cable-knit design break up, but it also helps to make your waist appear more sexy and smooth, giving the appearance of an hourglass.

The rest of the cable knit dress, which has a chunkier cable knit design, adds texture and a traditional winter feel, along with a ribbed knit funnel neckline, which gives it an elegant twist. A viscose-rich blend is used to create the dress, which hangs beautifully and keeps it comfortable without losing its structured silhouette.

You can wear it for smarter occasions like the office or an event without sacrificing fit or comfort because it doesn’t look too messy or casual. Although we anticipate it won’t be long before the Cable Knit Maxi Dress’s size will start to sell out after Cat wore it on camera, it can still be purchased in XS to large.

The Cable-Knit Midi Dress costs £44.99, which is slightly less expensive than Cat’s Karen Millen version, so you can also purchase it at H&amp, M. It also comes in cream and black, and despite missing the contrast knitted panels, the fitted silhouette is still flattering.

The ASOS 4th and Reckless V Neck Maxi Jumper Dress, priced at $55, offers a more oversized, relaxed fit. In addition, Reserved Dress with Belt is now available for $35.99, down from £59.99, and is available in a dark plum color that is popular this season.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were seen together on a red carpet for the first time in years, at a New York event where they accepted an award for their luxury brand The Row.

The twins, who first became famous on Full House, arrived to the awards ceremony on Monday (3 November) in matching black, floor-length blazers, with identical hair styles, in which it was left to drape down their backs.

They were present at the New York’s American Museum of Natural History’s (MNHN) annual Council of Fashion Designers (CFDA) Awards. For their luxury clothing line The Row, which they launched in 2006 and is a billion-dollar company, they received the American Accessory Designer of the Year Award at the ceremony.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our amazing customers who genuinely give us the opportunity to do what we love. She also thanked their extended family for continuing to provide them with the “love and kindness” they needed.

The CFDA has previously awarded the two. They have twice been named Accessories Designer of the Year in 2014 and 2012, respectively, and have twice received the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award.

This appearance together is a rare occurrence for the twins. In recent years, they have chosen to stay out of the spotlight and avoid occasions that would put them back in front of the public. As such, they often eschew red carpet events, but were last seen together at a New York Fashion Week party, hosted by W magazine at Bloomingdale’s in September.

Additionally, they had a production company called Dualstar, which produced a lot of their TV shows. However, they stopped acting and transitioned to fashion when they were older.

Their business, The Row, was founded when they were just 20 years old and produces clothing, footwear, bags, and accessories. Its headquarters were in New York, but it now has locations in Paris and London.

Their younger sister, Elizabeth, has continued to act, and is best known for playing Wanda Maximoff, aka The Scarlet Witch, for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As part of a change to ITV’s daytime schedule, Lorraine Kelly’s self-titled show will be cut from an hour to 30 minutes and air on a “seasonal basis” starting in 2026.

Lorraine Kelly has opened up about the upcoming shake-up to her long-running ITV programme. From 2026, her self-titled show will be shortened from an hour to 30 minutes and will air on a 30-week “seasonal basis”, as part of a wider overhaul of ITV’s daytime schedule.

Loose Women will also see a major reduction, airing for just 30 episodes a year and saying goodbye to its live studio audience. Additionally, a few shows, including Lorraine, will also be reportedly making the move from ITV Studios to The H Club Studio – a former private members’ club in London.

Lorraine, 65, has fronted her morning show since 2010, following years of presenting on the likes of Good Morning Britain, GMTV and Daybreak. Reflecting on the upcoming changes to ITV’s broadcasting, she told Woman Magazine: “It’s a different world we live in, isn’t it?

Because I believe in reality, I was aware of the need for adjustments and reductions. Television must cut its own slack in every department because there are now so many more outlets. It’s not what it once was.

Lorraine is optimistic and ready for the future, despite the restructuring. Who knows what will happen in six months, as I keep saying to everyone? They might want to expand, but they might not. Who is aware?

We just let it go and see what happens because I love my job and I love working with these incredible people. Nothing can ever remain motionless.

Although her ITV show will be shorter, Lorraine won’t be spending less time on screen. “I’ve got my three-part travel series about Norway coming out on Channel 4 in the new year,” she revealed.

Making it was a real pleasure for me. It’s the right time because I’ve wanted to do travel programs for a long time and want to do more.

In recent years, Lorraine has embraced a brand-new chapter in her writing career. She confirmed that more writing projects are in the works as soon as her debut novel, The Island Swimmer, was released last year.

The presenter has embraced her new role as a grandmother despite her commitments to her work. Billie and her 31-year-old daughter Rosie and her fiance Steve welcomed her first child in August of last year.

Lorraine gushed, “Baby Billie is an angel and I’m so proud of Rosie and Steve,” as she announced the happy news on social media at the time. I’m thrilled to be Granny Smith and look forward to new adventures.

Fans have since been sharing updates about Billie’s progress with the devoted grandmother, much to her delight.
