Huda Beauty supports Palestine with Saint Levant collab
For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle
The partnership introduces a new shade of the brand's popular Faux Filler Lip Oil, with proceeds going to organizations that support Palestinian agriculture and cultural preservation.
Named 'Kalamantina,' the shade references Saint Levant's song of the same name, released earlier this year. The lip oil also features a clementine scent.

'This is for the homeland,' Kattan wrote on the brand's Instagram page, alongside orange and Palestinian flag emojis. 'In honor of this collaboration, Huda Beauty will make a donation to organizations supporting Palestinian agriculture and cultural preservation.'
Both Kattan and Saint Levant, born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem, have been hinting at this week's launch through a series of Instagram posts.
In the clips, they danced to Saint Levant's track 'Kalamantina' and posed together next to a vintage car filled with clementines. In another shot, they held clementines labeled with fruit stickers that read, 'Grown by Huda n' Saint Levant.'

In the video, the music sensation wore a necklace featuring a map of Palestine, paired with a white tank top and denim jeans.
Meanwhile, Kattan appeared in a white off-the-shoulder lace dress with long, flared sleeves and a fitted silhouette. She completed the look with silver hoop earrings, oversized white sunglasses and a white headscarf, a nostalgic, vintage-inspired ensemble that matched the retro car and clementine-filled set.

Both Saint Levant and Kattan have been outspoken in their support for Palestine and have used their platforms to raise awareness about the war in Gaza.
Saint Levant, whose mother is French Algerian and father is Palestinian Serbian, performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in 2024. During his set, he addressed the war, saying: 'Coachella, my name is Saint Levant and I was born in Jerusalem and raised in Gaza … as I hope all of you are aware, the people of Gaza have been undergoing a brutal, brutal genocide. And the people of Palestine have been undergoing a brutal occupation for the past 75 years.'

Kattan, meanwhile, has regularly shared footage and updates from Gaza on her social media accounts to amplify awareness. In 2023, she announced a $1 million donation to two humanitarian organizations working in the region: Human Appeal and Doctors Without Borders.

Where We Are Going Today: Labash – Egyptian restaurant in Riyadh
We recently visited Labash, a popular Egyptian restaurant in Riyadh known for its casual, no-plate dining style — serving food directly on the table for a fun and interactive experience. The menu featured a variety of options like skewer-grilled chicken, beef skewers, and crispy chicken strips. One standout was The Works, which includes unlimited fries, drinks, pickles, and bread. While ideal for groups, orders at the table lead to excessive portions and higher costs. We tried the zinger meal with fries and drinks. It was flavorful and filling, though prices were on the high side. Seven different sauces added depth to each dish, but the quality of the meat did not fully justify the cost, especially compared to similar offerings elsewhere. Service was decent, and the lively atmosphere added to the appeal — though the noise level may deter those seeking a quieter setting. One downside was the amount of food wasted, both at our table and others. This highlighted the need for portion control or alternative serving options to reduce waste. For more, visit @ on Instagram.

Elyanna shares heartwarming moment with Palestinian children at Coldplay concert
DUBAI: Palestinian Chilean singer Elyanna took to Instagram to share a heartwarming moment with two young Palestinian children at a Coldplay concert, invited through the non-profit organization Heal Palestine. She was joined by Egyptian American comedian and creator Ramy Youssef and US journalist Ayman Mohyeldin. 'Thank you @ for making it possible for me to meet these angels,' wrote Elyanna on Instagram, along with photos from the meeting. A post shared by Elyanna (@elyanna) Heal Palestine, the organization that facilitated the encounter, focuses on supporting Palestinian children and families affected by war and displacement, offering both emergency relief and long-term education initiatives. The group took to their official Facebook page to thank Elyanna, Youssef and Mohyeldin. 'A heartfelt thank you to @elyanna, @aymanm, and @ramy for giving Qamar and Sara an unforgettable night at the Coldplay concert. Watching Elyanna perform on stage was a moment of pure magic — a much-needed escape from their treatments after their injuries in Gaza. We are deeply grateful for your compassion and for standing with us in our mission,' the post read. Elyanna will perform at this year's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix After-Race Concerts on Dec. 5 at the Etihad Park on Yas Island. The young star is expected to sing some of her most popular tracks, including 'Ghareeb Alay,' 'Mama Eh,' and her Arabic rendition of 'La Vie en Rose.' Her performance is a part of the Yasalam After-Race concerts, held alongside the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, one of the UAE's biggest entertainment and sporting weekends. Elyanna joins a high-profile lineup of artists already announced for the four-night concert series, including Benson Boone on Dec. 4, Post Malone on Dec. 5, Metallica on Dec. 6 and Katy Perry on Dec. 7. Access to the concerts is exclusive to F1 ticket holders, with each night set to feature large-scale performances at the open-air Etihad Park. One of Elyanna's standout appearances was during Coldplay's four-night concert series in Abu Dhabi earlier this year, part of their 'Music of the Spheres' world tour. In April, Coldplay announced that Elyanna had again teamed up with the band to release a new version of 'Ma Meilleure Ennemie,' a track originally performed by Belgian artist Stromae and French singer Pomme.
