Popular beauty influencer who ate makeup products dies after 'sudden illness'
A Taiwanese beauty influencer, known for tasting her products while testing them on her face, has died aged 24. Guava Shuishui, known online as Guava Beauty, earnt thousands of followers on Instagram for her reviews of makeup products. As per the English translation of a post shared to her social media account, the content creator died on May 24 from a 'sudden illness.' The statement continued: 'Thank you to everyone who has liked, left a message and laughed with her, and thank you for your love and support. She really keeps it in her heart and cherishes it very much. 'Guava Shuishui simply continues to glow in a different place. When we meet again one day, she should be unboxing angels' exclusive makeup for eating broadcasts over.' That post was the last until May 24, when her bio was changed to: 'Logging out from the world. Setting off on a new journey. All business collaborations are suspended.' In one popular video from late 2024 which was pinned to the top of her page, the influencer used a jelly blush before sticking a fork in the container and scooping the entire product out to take a bite. In the caption, she acknowledged eating beauty products is 'controversial,' and stated that children under six weren't allowed to watch her content. Some concerned fans commented on the video to say that she was setting a bad example for younger followers, and about the possible toxicity of the products. One person wrote: 'Please can you stop this behavior... You can eat in private, you can eat whatever you like. Really don't promote the act of "eating makeup".' Another said: 'It's still toxic, be careful.' The world of 'mukbang' - where online creators share videos of them eating (often excessive) amounts of food while chatting to followers - is being increasingly criticized as it continues to grow in popularity. The trend is also tragically linked to the deaths of at least three influencers, some as young as 24, in the last three years. Worried experts have expressed concerns that the content normalizes poor and unhealthy diets and could lead to potential nutrition deficiencies.

Period drama war film will 'rip your heart out' but you only have days to watch it
The period drama now available to stream on BBC iPlayer - but won't be for much longer A film hailed as "very British", offering a unique perspective on the second world war, is set to depart from BBC iPlayer in just a few days. Set against the backdrop of the 1940 London Blitz, a screenwriter named Catrin and an impromptu cast and crew unite to create a film aimed at lifting national spirits and encouraging America to enter the war. Their Finest (2016) follows the journey of young woman, Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton), who is recruited by the Ministry of Information to pen scripts for propaganda films. Working alongside another screenwriter and an actor, they endeavour to produce a movie that will elevate national morale and persuade America to join the war - all while navigating the tumultuous environment of the London Blitz and the aftermath of the Dunkirk evacuation. Catrin and her team encounter numerous obstacles along the way, including the relentless bombings. She subsequently collaborates with fellow screenwriter Buckley (Sam Claflin) and quirky actor Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy), discovering her voice, exploring the potency of storytelling, and dealing with the intricacies of war. Although fictional, the film draws inspiration from the real-life efforts of the British film industry to bolster the war effort. On the film reviewing platform Rotten Tomatoes - where the film boasts a sparkling 91% fresh score - fans commend this touch of reality as one of the film's most compelling aspects. "Nearly faultless. Great cast, perfectly directed. A perfect combination of the richest subject in history (WW2), great script, a warm romance, tragedy and poignancy," one viewer penned. Their Finest skilfully intertwines narratives of love, self-discovery, loss and sorrow while focusing on the characters' mission. "A delight from start to finish, except for the part where the film rips your heart out," another critic expressed, with another adding: "A very English movie and incredibly well done." The further shared: "Tremendous cast and performances supporting an excellent story and script. Both heart wrenching and uplifting. Add to your watch list." The star-studded cast includes Arterton, Claflin and Nighy, as well as Jeremy Irons, Jack Huston, Helen McCrory, Eddie Marsan and Jake Lacy. Their Finest is currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer, but will be leaving the platform on June 7.

However, after inspecting the breakfast options at the hotel, the mother said she wasn't ''enjoying the food''. The buffet menu consisted of a huge variety of dishes from the local cuisine, with heaps of veggies, scrambled eggs and more. ''God knows what it is,'' Lauren could be heard saying in the video, as she walked viewers through the huge collection of meals. Advertisement Right next the different types of cereal Lauren also spotted eggs, a hearty porridge, a dish consisting of sausages and veggies. ''Doesn't look very nice,'' the Brit mum moaned. Hungry holiday-goers also had the option to kickstart their day with a range of healthy fruit, including watermelon, dates and a pile of apricots. Those keen to add more vitamins and minerals to their diet could also opt for a juice or indulge by the salad bar, with a range of dressings to choose from. Advertisement The all-inclusive hotel had also provided guests with several spreads, pastries and cornbread - to name a few. In the end, Lauren went for one croissant, as well as fried egg, as she told viewers: ''I'm not enjoying the food.'' Holidaymaker slammed as she says it's 'totally normal' to bagsy sunbeds before breakfast 'Go to Blackpool next time then' Since sharing her thoughts online, Lauren has faced backlash, with her video racking up 260k views and more than 1,300 people flooding to comments where they slammed her. One person reminded the mum: ''Different country different cultures, we don't offer Tunisian breakfast in English hotels, see how this works?'' Advertisement Another agreed, writing: ''You are in another country with other cultures - not sure travel is for you if you can't adapt - embrace it you will discover new favourites.'' ''Yeah, if you are just wanting full English breakfasts stay in England or go to Benidorm. You won't like many other place,'' a third advised. ''Go to Blackpool next time then,'' someone else urged. ''Looks like a lot of different options there. What else did you need?'' a baffled viewer wondered. Advertisement Hitting back at the critics, Lauren responded: ''I'm just fussy I guess.'' Experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday EVERY summer, hotels become the sites of frantic battles, as guests try to reserve the best loungers with their towels first thing in the morning. But etiquette and elegance expert Katarina, who shares her expert opinions about manners on TikTok at @ says people need to be less selfish and more considerate of other hotel guests. In the footage, she said: "If you're staying at a hotel, avoid blocking the sunbeds if you're not planning on staying. It's disrespectful toward other guests. "Unless the hotel has a reservation system in place, only occupy the sunbeds when you're staying by the pool." Renowned etiquette expert, William Hanson, believes there is a 30-minute grace period on poolside reservations. This is where hotel guests can use a towel or a book to reserve a spot for no longer than half an hour. William told the Sun Online Travel: "In the morning, at the start of the day, and you're by the pool after breakfast, then it's fine at 8.30 to put your towel on the bed to reserve your spot. "But later on in the day after you've used the lounger, and go off for a massage, for example, which is going to be an hour, then you can't use a towel to reserve the sun lounger." If you're grabbing some grub at lunchtime, William said holidaymakers are allowed to eat at the hotel bar or restaurant providing you're not gone longer than 30 minutes. He said: "It also gives your towel time to dry off." William said despite the grace period, "You can't hog the sun lounger for the entire day." Meanwhile, Laura Akano, the Principal Coach and Trainer at Polished Manners doesn't believe holidaymakers have a right to reserve a lounger at all. She told the Sun Online Travel: "I think it should be a first come first serve basis - if the resort doesn't have a booking system." 'No English food' Brit nan Susan Edwards, from Westerhope, Newcastle upon Tyne, jetted off in May with three cousins and her daughter for a seven-night stay at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel on the Greek island. They were looking forwards to a week of relaxation, but the ordeal was "horrendous from the minute they got there," Susan said. She told Chronicle Live there was "no English food" on the all-inclusive menu and she was "sick to death of looking at rice" by the end. Advertisement The grumbling gran was also dismayed at only being offered chips "one day out of the whole lot" during her £750pp week-long stay. Now the hotel's manager, Makis Triantafyllos, has hit back - alleging Susan's complaints were a ruse to claw money back. He told The Sun: "From the very beginning of her stay, [Susan] demonstrated clear intent to fabricate complaints in pursuit of financial compensation, going as far as to complain about the weather." He alleged she demanded to know from the staff: "Why is it raining?" Advertisement The manager claimed Susan's attitude had been "sarcastic and dismissive" to staff who did their best to accommodate her. The hotelier also fiercely defended the menu, saying the food service is "generous and diverse, offering fresh salads, fruits, hot and cold dishes daily". He fumed that Susan's account of the food was "entirely false and disrespectful to our culinary staff". And as for the "no English food" dig - Makis said the Sun Hotel offers "world-renowned and beloved Mediterranean cuisine" with other options tailored to guests' preferences - including those from the UK.
