I Never Liked Matte Foundations, Until I Tried This
When it comes to shopping for a new foundation, I have a very specific list of requirements. Not only does a foundation need to be comfortable to wear, but it needs to have the right amount of coverage to blur imperfections, while still looking like skin. Whenever a new foundation lands on my desk, I'm always intrigued.
Anastasia Beverly Hills, known for its Dipbrow Pomade, contour creams, and classic eyeshadow palettes that once broke the internet (who didn't fall in love with that Soft Glam palette?), now has a new foundation that's joined the extensive roster of products. The Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation is advertised as 'second skin', which already makes me think I'm going to love it, but I wanted to get my hands on it and see if it really lives up to such a reputation. 1.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation
Described as a hydrating velvet-matte base, I have to tell you that this foundation lives up to the hype – and then some. From the first pump, you can feel that luxe, whipped texture, delivering the kind of high coverage that laughs in the face of late nights and breakouts. Despite the full coverage, it still feels like skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid, which keeps things bouncy and smooth for up to 12 hours. The blurring effect? Genuinely impressive. It melts into the skin, giving a soft-focus effect to fine lines and pores without a hint of cakiness. With 25 inclusive shades and a formula gentle enough for even dry or sensitive skin types, it's the kind of foundation that makes you wonder why you ever settled for less.
It's safe to say, this new launch has found a permanent spot in my make-up routine. Gone are the days of unflattering and patchy formulas - this new foundation deserves a place in your beauty cupboard, especially if you love a flawless finish that will not budge.

Danny Jones' wife Georgia 'set for new This Morning role' after kiss scandal
McFly's Danny Jones' wife is reportedly in talks for a permanent role on This Morning after impressing TV bosses with her candid personality when discussing post-natal depression The wife of McFly's star Danny Jones is being considered for a more permanent role on This Morning after impressing bosses with her ability to open up about post-natal depression. Georgia Jones, who is a mum of one, is being lined up to be more of a regular on the popular daytime show. But this comes just months after Danny was allegedly caught kissing his I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here campmate, Maura Higgins. The pair were caught, in what has been described as an intimate embrace, in February at a BRITS after-party. Weathering their rough patch, Georgia, 38, now appears to be focusing on her TV career. A source told The Sun that her ability to sit down with other mums who have also experienced depression following the birth of their child, caught the attention of bosses. The insider told the publication: "She has interviewed other mums who have experienced post Natal depression and is very open herself. Producers are hopeful that if she if the collaboration goes well Georgia will become a new face of the show. " They added: "She has a really successful podcast and a loyal following which is ideal for helping to boost viewing figures." Danny has also spoken about Georgia's experience with post-natal depression while on I'm A Celeb. At the time, he revealed: "Looking back she had post Natal depression and that is so hard and what made it harder is that she didn't know. I wanted to try and fix it and go 'come on you can do this' and that's not what she needed." Last month, as a nod to Mental Health Week, Georgia posted a message on social media to remind her followers to check on their mum friends. She wrote: "A little thought from me. When I had little man. i didn't know this new me. I didn't particularly like her. I hadn't met her and I doubted her ability.I wanted the old me back, but without realising it, I needed to feel it and cry. I hid the doubt and lack of control I felt." She added: "'d never experienced any wobble with my mental was new too. So I did the worst thing. I pushed it down and tried to hide Can you new mummies promise me one be honest, feel the feels." Georgia concluded: "Parenting is not perfect." And while her career appears to be going from strength to strength, the same does not seem tom be the case with her marriage. According to reports, the couple no longer have the same innocent relationship they shared before Danny's alleged drunken kiss. And it has been more than a month since the pair have been pictured together. At the end of last month Georgia gave her followers a peek into her life, but did not mention Danny. Sharing a number of pictures with her son Cooper and friends, she captioned the post saying: "Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun." At the time of the scandal, Danny made an apology for "putting them in this situation." He also continued to stay at the family's west London home. Sources have told the MailOnline that the pair are more similar to "passing ships" than a happy couple.

Danny Jones' wife Georgia 'set to join This Morning line-up' after brave postnatal depression confession
Georgia Jones is being lined up for a bigger role on This Morning after filming a powerful segment on postnatal depression. The wife of McFly 's Danny Jones is thought to have really impressed ITV bosses, who are 'delighted' to be working with her and hope to make her a regular on the daytime show. Georgia, 38, a popular mummy influencer and podcast host, has been very open about her own mental health struggles after giving birth to her son Cooper, seven, who she shares with the singer, 39. A source told The Sun that her openness to talk about the subject and being able to sit down with other mums to share their stories for the moving feature has really caught the bosses attention and they are keen to have her on board. They said: 'She has interviewed other mums who have experienced post Natal depression and is very open herself. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Producers are hopeful that if she if the collaboration goes well Georgia will become a new face of the show. 'She has a really successful podcast and a loyal following which is ideal for helping to boost viewing figures.' Georgia's husband Danny previously spoke about her hidden battle during his stint on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. He revealed: 'Looking back she had post Natal depression and that is so hard and what made it harder is that she didn't know. 'I wanted to try and fix it and go 'come on you can do this' and that's not what she needed.' MailOnline have contacted Georgia and This Morning representatives for comment. Just last month, during mental health week, she reminded her followers to check in on their mummy friends and to ask them twice if they are OK. She wrote: 'A little thought from me. When I had little man. i didn't know this new me. I didn't particularly like her. I hadn't met her and I doubted her ability. 'I wanted the old me back, but without realising it, I needed to feel it and cry. I hid the doubt and lack of control I felt. She added: 'I'd never experienced any wobble with my mental was new too. So I did the worst thing. I pushed it down and tried to hide 'Can you new mummies promise me one be honest, feel the feels.' Georgia then ended: 'Parenting is not perfect.' The potential new gig comes just months after the couple weathered a rough patch following Danny's drunken snog with Love Island star Maura Higgins at the BRITs. The couple are said to no longer have a 'normal relationship' after he was filmed kissing former Love Island contestant Maura Higgins, 34, at a BRIT Awards after party in February. It has been over a month since Danny and Georgia have been pictured together in public after they seemingly put on a 'united front' and decided to remain in their 10-year relationship. At the end of May Georgia gave an insight into her 'life lately' with an update on Wednesday - but failed to mention the McFly star. She shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends - with Danny missing. She captioned the post: 'Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun.' Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with campmate Maura at a Universal Records party and further reports claimed the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar. Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for 'putting them in this situation', has stayed living at the couple's West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December. Now, sources have claimed to MailOnline that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia are like 'passing ships' and friends fear their relationship is hanging on by a thread. A source told MailOnline: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes. 'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships. 'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile. 'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends. 'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.' Georgia, who's a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal. But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do 'anything to make it work.' MailOnline contacted Danny's representatives for comment at the time. WHAT IS POSTNATAL DEPRESSION? Postnatal depression is a form of the mental-health condition that affects more than one in 10 women in the UK and US within a year of giving birth. As many men can be affected as women, research suggests. Many parents feel down, teary and anxious within the first two weeks of having a child, which is often called the 'baby blues'. But if symptoms start later or last longer, they may be suffering from postnatal depression. Postnatal depression is just as serious as others form of the mental-health disorder. Symptoms include: Persistent sadness Lack of enjoyment or interest in the wider world Fatigue Insomnia Struggling to bond with your baby Withdrawing from others Difficulty concentrating and making decisions Frightening thoughts, such as hurting your baby Sufferers should not wait for their symptoms to just go away. Instead they should recognise that it is not their fault they are depressed and it does not make them a bad parent. If you or your partner may be suffering, talk to your GP or health visitor. Treatments can include self-help, such as talking to loved ones, resting when you can and making time to do things you enjoy. Therapy may also be prescribed. In severe cases where other options have not helped, antidepressants may be recommended. Doctors will prescribe ones that are safe to take while breastfeeding. Postnatal depression's cause is unclear, however, it is more common in those with a history of mental-health problems. Lack of support from loved ones, a poor relationship with the partner and a life-changing event, such as bereavement, can also raise the risk.

EXCLUSIVE The truth about Todd Chrisley's youthful post-prison appearance
Todd Chrisley has shocked fans with his youthful appearance following his release from prison – and now sources have claimed to that he's already squeezed in an emergency Botox appointment. The reality star, 56, and with his wife, Julie Chrisley, 52, received presidential pardons from Donald Trump on Wednesday and less than 24 hours later, he is said to have sought out cosmetic treatment to smooth out his wrinkles. Speaking exclusively to an insider close to the family claimed that the first thing Todd did after becoming a free man was pay a trip to an anesthetist for some tweakments to his face. According to the source, Todd jokingly hid his new face with shopping bags, as well as a hat and sunglasses, to keep the results under wraps. They said: 'You better bet that Todd's first visit was to the cosmetic surgeon. He was not about to be seen for the first time looking wrinkly. 'He wore a hat and sunglasses to cover up the massive amount of Botox he got on his forehead and his eyes. 'Todd has wanted this more than anything. This is also why he had a bag over his head. It is also why Savannah was laughing and said that her father hasn't aged a day. 'They made a mandatory stop at the Botox doc prior to their Nordstrom spree. 'He needed new clothes to go along with his new face. Todd is now ready to make his grand debut.' A representative for Todd declined to comment when contacted by Speculation of Todd's tweakments comes after social media users had pointed out his youthful visage following a spate of pictures and videos of him and daughter Savannah enjoying a shopping trip. 'How in the world did he come out of prison looking much younger?' one transfixed fan asked. 'He looks great, and we are so happy for your family Savannah.' 'He looks better than I've ever seen him honestly,' said another. A third commented: 'Looking good! Prison agreed with you! Stay off the Botox!' Todd and Julie were convicted in 2022 for orchestrating a $30 million bank fraud and tax evasion scheme. Julie was sentenced to serve in Kentucky until 2028, and Todd in Florida until 2032. But on Tuesday, Trump personally called their daughter, Savannah, from the Oval Office to inform her of his bombshell decision. 'It's a great thing because your parents are going to be free and clean,' a smiling Trump said during the phone call with Savannah. On Friday, Todd was joined by his daughter for his first press conference since his release. Speaking to reporters in Nashville, Tennessee, he admitted that he does not feel remorse over his conviction. 'I would have remorse if it was something that I did,' he said. 'The corruption that went on in our case is going to continue to unfold.' He also recalled the moment he found out he had been pardoned. 'I remember walking back from the phone and just feeling numb,' he said. 'Then after about 10 minutes all I could think about was the guys that I was leaving behind.' While Todd has been described as looking younger, his wife Julie has also undergone a transformation of her own. On Thursday, she was seen sporting brown and gray locks while leaving a butcher shop in Nashville in her first few hours as a free woman. The former Chrisley Knows Best star, who was known for her coiffed blonde do, grinned in the image first obtained by Fox News Digital.
