I Never Liked Matte Foundations, Until I Tried This
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.

Justin Timberlake sparks concern over 'tired' appearance ahead of final world tour show as fans urge 'he needs a break' following string of 'bare minimum, lip syncing' performances after demanding refunds
Justin Timberlake has sparked concern among fans over his 'tired' appearance at his antepenultimate concert in Georgia last week. Over the last few months, fans have demanded refunds following a string of 'embarrassing and bare minimum' shows. The singer, 44, who is due to finish his world tour in a matter of days on July 30, has also been accused of 'hardly singing' and putting on 'lazy' performances. As he took to the stage over the weekend, fans demanded the popstar 'needs a break to recharge' following the brutal backlash he has received. Sharing their support, fans wrote: 'I can't believe it's almost over! Going to miss you so much, but I know you are TIRED!!! So rest up good and we can do it all over again!', 'I saw you in Atlanta in November and you were amazing. Best concert I've been to. I think you just need a break and to recharge. You've been doing this tour for a year', 'This day was truly unforgettable a priceless emotion and a childhood dream come true.❤️❤️' However, some fans continued to share their fury on social media after attending his shows over the last month. Some comments read: 'Why he treating performing like a side job?!', 'How many words did you sing?', 'Did he sing finally?', 'When are the audience getting paid for their performance?', 'Imagine paying $600 to watch the crowd at a Justin Timberlake concert sing his songs' 'Justin Timberlake really thought he could do the bare minimum & get away with it? Nah. People didn't drop $500 to watch a lifeless karaoke act. No energy, no vocals, just vibes gone wrong. The crowd walking out says it all. It's mediocre performance. It's time to stop!' MailOnline has contacted Justin's representatives for comment. Daily Mail exclusively revealed the drama behind his controversial concerts... and why his wife Jessica Biel is pleading with him to give up touring amid the brutal backlash. As he took to the stage over the weekend, fans demanded the popstar 'needs a break to recharge' following the brutal backlash he has received One insider told the Daily Mail that the SexyBack singer is 'in a rut' amid his flailing tour and desperately 'needs to do something new.' After he played Romania, a viral TikTok received 460,000 likes after a fan who paid 'a lot of money' to see him called him 'an absolute disappointment.' The Social Network star was late getting onstage, and then apparently only sang about five words of each song, according to concert-goers. He also wore glasses and a hat, so the audience couldn't see him, leading many to walk out in anger. 'You can't be singing two songs and then taking a break,' the content creator said, calling his behaviour 'rude' and 'disrespectful,' before asking him to 'rethink' the concept behind his tour. The 'lacklustre' performance was so embarrassing that multiple fans demanded a refund. In Dublin, his performance was much the same, as showcased by videos of Justin dropping the mic and simply walking around the stage lazily, without doing the dance moves he's known for. The same insider divulged that Justin 'wants to create new music and to do something he hasn't done yet' but feels stuck singing the same old songs he's been performing for decades, leaving him unmotivated. While there have been murmurs that he would reunite with his boy band NSYNC, it has yet to come to fruition. The reunion rumors reached a fever pitch as their former competitors the Backstreet Boys reunited at the Las Vegas Sphere as part of a historic residency. In fact, fans online begged Justin to rejoin his former boy band, joking that if he wanted to sing so little during his recent tour dates, he should at least have the others join him onstage. 'It's embarrassing how he's been basically doing karaoke,' the insider agreed. 'He knows that he's lost his mojo and he really wants it back.' A separate source weighed in on the state of his marriage, and how the tour has been leading to issues with his actress wife. The couple share two children, Silas, 10, and Phineas, four. 'Jessica thinks Justin has aged years since he started The Forget Tomorrow World Tour last April,' the insider claimed. Jessica, 43, has seen 'how it has taken its toll on him, not just physically but emotionally.' Justin's devoted wife has stood by him amid multiple high-profile controversies, including in 2019, when he was caught holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright during a night out in New Orleans. Now, Jessica is worried that he's 'taken on way too much,' with the insider adding that 'he's no longer a twentysomething who can fly around the world doing concert after concert.'

The J.Crew x Rouje Collection Is Pure Vintage Summer Romance
Imagine if Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and a Parisian It-girl went on holiday together and shared a suitcase. That's basically the vibe of and Rouje's new collab - a tight little drop of 18 pieces pulling from both sides of the Atlantic, with just the right amount of '90s nostalgia and quiet luxury energy. The whole thing feels like it's been lifted from someone's impossibly chic archive. There's a polka-dotwrap dress you'll probably end up living in, the kind of red mules that turn heads but still look like they've been in your wardrobe for years, and a matching knit tank and skirt set that feels so south of France it should come with a glass of wine. It's got that romantic, vintage-leaning Rouje feel - Jeanne Damas' fingerprints are all over it - but New York polish stops it from going full whimsical. It's flirty, but grounded. French, but not cliché. Minimal, but not boring. Even the jeans are good - wide-leg with a slight '70s kick and big patch pockets. Tick. Nothing in the lineup is trying too hard. There's a simplicity to it that feels refreshing, like you could throw any of it on and go. Which, to be honest, is the dream. The only catch? The collection doesn't ship internationally. Bit of a heartbreak, but not a total dealbreaker, not when the pieces are this good. If you're outside the U.S., it might be time to text that one friend with a New York address or finally cave and set up a forwarding account. Honestly, for that polka-dot dress alone, it's kind of worth the faff. Renee Washington , Grazia's digital fashion and beauty writer, lives online.

In the midst of their trip, the former I'm A Celebrity champion confirmed that she had "major news" to share and soon some fans began to speculate that a pregnancy announcement was afoot. In one of her photos, Georgia could be seen salmon fishing in a lake and was wrapped up tightly under some waterproof dungarees in order to keep herself warm in the cold country. But these layers appeared to give Georgia a 'baby bump' which left her followers convinced her major news was baby related. Commenting underneath the snaps, one curious fan asked the star: "Are you pregnant?" The Made in Chelsea star's husband was quick to step in and respond to shut down any speculation of a pregnancy. He replied back to the fan: "I don't think she is." It turned out that Georgia's news was actually related to her catching her first Atlantic salmon after failing to do so in three countries previously. The couple were joined by their two black Labradors for their low-key holiday. Georgia married the millionaire Brewdog founder in Scotland earlier this year. Georgia Toffolo strikes glamorous looks as she visits Cheltenham races The ceremony took place in Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire. Scots beer tycoon James, 42, revealed some details of their wedding day, including that they got married in the same church that his grandparents tied the knot in. He also said their ring bearer was their pet spaniel. Similar to their current trip, the couple headed aboard a fishing boat shortly after the ceremony. The pair posted pics of onboard a fishing boat, with Georgia donning a cosy strapless wedding dress. The off-shoulder fur dress was ideal for embracing the northeast weather.

James and Georgia posed for the snaps onboard a fishing boat and even held lobsters in some snaps. In other pics James scooped his new bride into his arms, hugging her and clutching her side as she sat on the railings. 5 The reality TV star is currently in Iceland Credit: Instagram
