'Sexy and beachy': Bella Hadid's fragrance is the scent of the summer - where to get it exclusively in the UK
As soon as Bella Hadid starts talking about beauty we are sat. The model is one of Cosmo Beauty Team's industry faves, so, while there are way too many celebrity beauty brands floating around, we gave Queen Bella a pass as a true beauty girlie. Orebella (pronounced aura-bella), Hadid's innovative fragrance line, launched last year in the U.S but we had to wait until this week to be able to shop it here in the U.K., where it's available exclusively at Selfridges.
Humble brag, but we were one of the first to get our hands on the range across the pond, and we were kinda blown away from first spray. Cosmo Beauty Writer Lia described the range as 'the best celebrity perfumes I have ever smelt'. A big ol' claim when competing with the likes of Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and of course our Y2K honey Britney Spears Fantasy.

One thing that sets it apart from loads of other fragrances on the market is that it's a bi-phase formula that has no alcohol in it. So, if you find that sometimes perfume makes your skin dry when you spritz it directly, this won't have that effect.
The bi-phase is skincare-infused water and essential oils that need to be shaken to mix before spraying onto the skin. The potency of the perfume oils cannot be understated; these scents have serious lasting power, after eight hours in the office, I can still smell the notes lingering on my skin, which cannot be said for some of my perfumes that cost twice the price. I would say, the only thing that is a little annoying is that the lids are flush with the glass casing so are a little hard to get off, especially if you have longer nails.
Here's our full review below…
Blooming Fire is warm floral summer scent. It's hot and sexy and kinda reminds me of glistening skin on a warm summer afternoon. If you're a fan of creamier florals over zingy, citrus ones, you will love this.
Notes: Top notes are bergamot, cardamom, cedar and clove leaf; middle notes are monoi oil and jasmine; base note is patchouli.
My favourite of the four, this is a summery scent for a lover of woody fragrances. I love how it dries down to a salty, sexy beachy vibe but with the warmth of cedarwood, sandalwood and amber anchoring the base notes.
Notes: Top notes are sea salt and pink pepper; middle notes are olive tree, lavender and fig; base notes are cedar, sandalwood and amber.
Like a sweet bouquet of roses this scent will have floral fragrance fans in a tizzy. It opens extremely floral thanks to the rose and jasmine notes but it has a unique citrus kick with the lemon and mint in the mix.
Notes: Top notes are lemon, mint and geranium; middle notes are damask rose and jasmine and the base note is tonka bean.
The way I feel about this scent is the same way I feel about Harry Styles' alleged favourite scent, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, after I sprayed it, I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist, it's so sexy, sweet and warm. It's the kind of scent you want to – no – need to, nuzzle into. It's screaming for a date night.
Notes: Top notes are ginger, cardamom and guaiac wood; middle notes are vanilla and labdanum and the base notes are sandalwood and patchouli.

The best bob haircuts for each star sign – because different styles enhance personality traits
Mercury may not be in retrograde, but astrology is always on the [tarot] cards – and today, we're letting the cosmos (and Cosmo, wink, nudge) take the wheel when it comes to your next haircut. Puns? I don't know 'em... Toying with a short bob? As the old adage goes: To cut or not to cut, that is the question... (Or something like that, anyway.) Well, below, you'll find bob hairstyle inspiration according to your star sign, because your personality trait and physical appearance have more to do with astrology than you may think. So, whether you're an indecisive Libra, unsure whether to get the chop or a water baby Pisces who's all about delicate, romantic expression, we've explored every star sign trait and paired it with the perfect style for you. Think of this as your hair horoscope: it's like astrology, but make it fashun! Disclaimer: Here at Cosmo Beauty, we encourage our community to sport any hairstyle that makes them feel confident. In other words, we don't like subscribing to the idea that you've got to have a certain haircut just because you have a specific face shape – or in this case, star sign! That said, if your star sign hairstyle does speak to you, you best believe we're all for it!

Summer Outfits So Chic, You'll Want to Copy Them All
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Don't look now, but summer is here, which means the time has come to showcase your hot-weather style with some fresh 'fits. Whether you plan to hit the beach with your crew or stay in with the A/C blasting, there's no reason you can't do it wearing something cute. If inspiration is lacking, you're in luck, I found the best casual summer outfit ideas out there, inspired by major celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner and street style mavens alike. Stick to basics with an airy sundress and summer sandals or perhaps—if you're feeling newly inspired by the NBA playoffs—opt for something sporty like a summer tracksuit and heels. At the end of the day, a cute outfit can make all the difference (at least, that's what I believe!). Check out the stylish summer outfits you can all season long, below. When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a pair of jeans and a baby tee. Take notes from Kendall Jenner, who accessorized this classic combo with loafers and a baseball cap for an effortlessly cool and casual look you can wear on repeat. Jean shorts and summer just go together, and what better time to wear your favorites? Throw on your trusty Adidas Sambas, like Hailey Bieber, and your go-to denim jacket for when the temps start to dip, and you're set. Take a page from Bella Hadid and tap into the Western trend. Center your outfit around a pair of chic cowboy boots, and then style them with a fun graphic tee and cutoff shorts. You'll have a trend-worthy outfit ready in no time. Don't feel obligated to dress up if you're planning to lay low this summer. Sometimes, a sweatshirt and comfy sweatpants are the move. A monochromatic look like this one from Jennifer Lopez still looks put-together and elevated, even when you're in a loungewear set. I anticipate no regrets. An all-black ensemble is perfect for any occasion, including a barbecue or picnic. A romantic dress and ballet flats paired with a dainty necklace come together for an ensemble fit for a daytime outing. Feeling like a woman on the move? A lightweight tracksuit is just what's in order. And if you want to give it a fashion-girl twist, style it with this season's trending aviator sunglasses and a pair of metallic sandals. Sports jerseys are trending for summer—and if you're looking for an unexpected way to style yours, consider a cute bubble skirt. Spice things up with metallic accessories, and I guarantee you'll be primed for a post on the grid. For something that feels casual but still elevated, consider a fitted cardigan paired with Bermuda shorts. Polished details like ballet flats and a leather designer bag will take things up a level. Nothing beats the heat quite like a sundress, which makes it a great option for your summer uniform. It's easy, effortless, and chic—not to mention versatile. Wear it to dinner alfresco or for your neighborhood barbecue. This is a staple that can be as dressed up or down as you want it. No doubt, a long black skirt is the most underrated MVP of your everyday wardrobe. For a go-to look, you can wear again and again, opt for a denim jacket, a classic white T-shirt, and easy flats (like the ones shown here, in the ever-popular butter yellow hue). It's a classy and casual look that'll work for nearly any summer occasion.
