They said: 'Light and emollient, this multi-use tint is a great way to add a natural flush of colour to the complexion and lips, for a natural blush and just bitten look.

Love Is Blind star SLAMMED by fans as it's revealed controversial star had baby on the way during filming
The Love Is Blind star has blamed the edit for how he's been portrayed on the show POD SCANDAL Love Is Blind star SLAMMED by fans as it's revealed controversial star had baby on the way during filming A LOVE Is Blind star has been slammed by fans, after it was revealed that the controversial star had a baby on the way during filming. As the Netflix pods opened for 30 new singletons to try their luck at finding someone to marry, one star has got tongues wagging more than most. 4 New Love Is Blind UK star Patrick has found himself at the centre of some surprising social media speculation 4 Aanu has been chatting to Patrick in the pods Credit: Netflix Advertisement Patrick Justus, a human design coach, caught fan attention after telling people that he uses his spleen to guide him, when it comes to finding a romantic connection. But now, fans have slammed the reality star on social media, after a TikToker claimed he had a baby on the way while on the show. A creator named Story Time With Rikkii said in the video: 'Patrick had a baby on the way and didn't tell no body about it.' She then shared a photo of Patrick and the baby mum together while covering the woman's face. Advertisement The TikTok went on: 'She was pregnant with his child when he went on Love Is Blind UK.' The woman who was pregnant with Patrick's child has allegedly spoken out about it too, according to the TikToker, writing: 'When he first tried to blackmail me, then goes on a dating show and then leaves you alone to go to Bali for 2 months spending his money there and then still calls you negative and a bad mom for losing it.' The video went on to claim that Patrick's baby mum wrote: 'Isn't it crazy how one parent gets to carry on with their life, jobs, hobbies, and social life, and the other parent has to ask for a break to take a shower.' Story Time With Rikkii continued to share a photo of the baby, as well as the woman pregnant and said: 'The math is mathing, and that means that he was in them pods with the baby on the way.' Advertisement Annoyed fans have claimed that he "wasted Aanu's time" as a result. The Sun has contacted Netflix for comment. Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers 'feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job The star has also been slammed by fans after blaming the edit for his portrayal on the Netflix show. Patrick has taken to his own TikTok to speak about his split from Aanu in the pods. On the show, as he ends things, he says to Aanu that if he was in the room with her he would put his arm around her. Advertisement But on his TikTok, Patrick has denied ever saying this to Aanu, claiming that he actually said it to someone else. 4 Patrick is accused of having a baby on the way when he filmed the show Credit: Instagram He wrote: 'They cut away from my face to edit in this dumb comment. 'I never said 'if I was there I'd definitely put my arm around you.' 'They took this from another date with a different person and why would I put my arm around someone I did not propose to. Advertisement 'It even sounds so weird and out of place.' Fans have been left outraged, as one person wrote: 'This is such red flag behaviour. You can't just blame the edit.' A second penned: 'I smell bulls***,' and a third added: 'This is reality TV Patrick, surely you knew what you were getting yourself into.' Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life.' While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him. Advertisement But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill. "I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter). "Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second. "This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third. While a fourth noted: "The moment that guy talked about following his spleen, I would have been out of there." Advertisement Despite the spleen talk, Patrick and Aanu did hit it off on the show - at least to begin with. However, the pair hit a wall when Aanu admitted that she puts a lot of weight into what her mum thinks, crediting her for helping her make decisions. The comment was received badly by Patrick, who said that his "spleen was silent" and that their connected had "dipped", with her telling Aanu that she needs to learn to follow her own instincts. From that point on, they struggle to get back on track – and when Aanu decides to open up to him by writing a song for him, he ends things before she can perform it. "I don't want you to give a song to someone who is undeserving of that song," he told her. Advertisement "I've enjoyed thoroughly talking to you and going through this experience with you, but I have to follow my spleen."

Irish TikTok creator to 'rebrand' after toy giants u-turn on law suit
The Irish creator behind Sylvaniandrama has confirmed that the channel will be rebranded after a lawsuit against her was dropped. Thea Von Engelbrechten is the mastermind behind one of TikTok's most popular parody channels Sylvaniandrama. Her videos were widely beloved on social media for their unhinged skits involving the little animal families: parodying everything from kidnapping, drug abuse, to divorce. However, fans were confused when the channel suddenly went quiet several months ago. It then came to light that Thea was being sued been sued in the US by Epoch, the Japanese toy and computer games company behind Sylvanian Families over her videos. The company claimed that Von Engelbrechten's videos had caused 'irreparable injury' to their reputation. Thea, from Kildare, was just 19 when she started the channel back in 2021 – and the videos quickly skyrocketed in popularity. She currently has over 2.5 million followers on TikTok and one million on Instagram. However, they also eventually caught the attention of Epoch Company Ltd., the Japanese toy and video game company who own Sylvanian Families. The toy giant wasn't impressed (Image: Sylvaniandrama/TikTok) Epoch filed a lawsuit against the creator, claiming the videos could confuse potential purchasers of Sylvanian Families toys into believing that they have been produced or authorised by Epoch. They were suing her over issues pertaining to copyright – including 'creating, publishing, and disseminating online advertising videos' on the back of brand deals with companies like Marc Jacobs and Burberry. A pre-trial conference was set for August 14, where the legal teams from both sides were to meet to explore settlement options or prepare the case for trial. However, Epoch has since dropped its suit against the skit creator. On August 8, the company voluntarily dismissed all claims "without prejudice," with each side covering its own legal costs. On the same day, Thea posted on Instagram: "Hi guys, on the 19th August I will be changing the name and profile picture of this account. I'm not sure what to change it to yet so please let me know if you have any suggestions". Fans flooded the comments with suggestions of what the channel could be renamed to. Popular suggestions included "notsylvaniandrama", "CancelledCritters" and "Desperate Mousewives". Previously, news of the lawsuit had caused fan uproar on social media, with many believing that the videos actually helped promote Sylvanians online. TikTok account @junk_mom posted: 'Imagine if every little girl that ever posted a video on YouTube making her stuffed animals talk to each other was sued by the corporation that made those stuffed animals.' She continued to say that Sylvaniandrama 'opened up a lot of new people to the Sylvanian toys.' 'Sylvanian drama is literally doing free advertising for them, that's so sad,' one comment added. 'Why sue her she's literally giving them customers,' another wrote. A third pointed out that many other people have also created channels around creating fake scenarios with popular toys. They wrote: "It's like the old videos on YouTube we'd watch as a kid of people doing the same thing with Barbie's... It's always been a thing."
