'Simple' hack that stops make-up breaking inside your suitcase is 'so smart'
For beauty enthusiasts, there's nothing more frustrating than reaching your holiday destination only to discover your favourite product has shattered inside your suitcase. From liquid spillages to destroyed palettes, plenty can go awry.
Fortunately, there are numerous tips and tricks worth trying when packing your case, including one specifically designed to protect your powder products. Of course, you can still use powder products that have crumbled, but it's far better if you can stop the problem in the first place.
The tip left social media users amazed when a beauty enthusiast demonstrated the clever trick in a TikTok video, showing how to shield powder products whilst they're in your luggage, reports the Liverpool Echo. The method is cheap and simple, so it can be applied to various products from pressed powder to blusher, eyeshadow and brow powder.
All you need is a few cotton wool pads to place inside your cosmetics. "The best travel hack for make-up", as it's been labelled on social media, was posted in a viral clip by @glam. bunnies.
In the footage, the make-up enthusiast was shown placing cotton pads inside her Charlotte Tilbury compacts. The video went viral, accumulating more than one million views and 120,000 likes in less than a week. Yet not everyone grasped the hack, initially.
One puzzled commenter asked: "What does it do?" The video's creator responded: "Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking but the cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk."
However, the majority of comments were from beauty enthusiasts who understood exactly why this tip was needed. Many wished they had come across the idea earlier to avoid recent breakages.
For instance, one response read: "You telling me this AFTER I broke my rare beauty blush." A second said: "Oh God thanks, I see this after my rare beauty highlighter broke up."
A similar reply said she wished she had "told me this before I broke my rare beauty blush." Another person wrote: "I need to do this for real because my favourite blush shattered everywhere."
Elsewhere, a make-up lover replied: "Should've told me before the SPARKLY BLUE in my cosmos Anastasia eyeshadow palette broke." More praise came from a fan who said: "OMGG WAIITT LIFESAVER - HOW IS THIS NOT VIRAL." Another commenter agreed, saying: "OMG, you're my lifesaver." Someone else asked: "How did I never think of this?" and a further fan wrote simply: "Smart."
The tip proved just as popular when @muddlethroughmummy shared the same idea in another video. She said the trick is especially helpful if you're near the bottom of the pan. "So simple but genius," the blogger praised. A viewer replied: "Ahhhh so smart." Someone else said: "OMG, I needed this hack. I'm going away on Tuesday."

Ibiza Rocks hotel guest 'nearly has nervous breakdown' over disgusting 'giant petri dish' pool
As another tragedy unfolds at the Ibiza Rocks resort, footage has emerged showing the grimy condition of the hotel pool, which apparently left some guests too fearful to go in barefoot Amid concerns over the popular Ibiza Rocks resort, following a fourth tragedy, footage has emerged which shows the allegedly grimy condition of the hotel pool, which one holidaymaker likened to a "petri-dish". In a TikTok video some have dubbed "minging," user @ showed followers the less-than-gleaming pool at Ibiza Rocks; an Ibiza-based hotel and event space long favoured by partygoers. The self-described "germ freak" wasn't best impressed by the mucky-looking pool, which was strewn with debris, including drink cans left behind by revellers. Giving fellow TikTok users a closer look at what she was dealing with, the content creator lifted up her Barbie pink Croc, which had been left grubby inside. Commenting, "SOS send help", the Ibiza tourist, who visited the resort in August 2024, shuddered: "The germ freak in me having a nervous breakdown in Ibiza Rocks". A number of fellow germophobes felt her pain, taking to the comment section to express their sympathy. One person wrote: "I stayed there last time I went to Ibiza and you should see the colour of the water once it's closed and everyone's gone." Another advised: "You would need a tetanus after being in that." In response to a third commenter, who declared that this was the reason they would "never have pool parties", the original poster agreed: "I never put them together?! It's like a big fat Petri dish." It wasn't all doom and gloom, however, with one follower revealing that: "My mate found a €20 note in there so worth the disease." On this front, @ laughed: "I'd love a list of everything ever found in it". She also urged future swimmers to wear their trusty Crocs while taking a dip, urging, "Don't take them off you." This comes as politicians call upon the San Antonio mayor and tourism minister to visit the area of Ibiza Rocks, following another tragic death at the resort. Since April, four people have died at the hotel, which made headlines again this week after sportsman Gary Kelly, 19, from Scotland, plummeted to his death after falling off a balcony. This tragedy occurred just two weeks after the death of 26-year-old Evan Thomson, from Aberdeen, who fell to his death from the same hotel. In the aftermath of this devastating incident, Evan's family and friends criticised safety precautions at the four-star venue. On April 27, a 19-year-old Italian tourist of Turkish origin plunged to her death from the fourth floor of the adult-only hotel, while a British guest, aged 33, died in her room after going into cardiac arrest. There is no suggestion that the Ibiza Rocks hotel is to blame for any of the four tragedies that have unfolded on the premises. However, the PSOE party, which leads the opposition both in San Antonio and in the Balearic Islands region, has issued the following statement on the matter: 'The PSOE of San Antonio publicly denounces the worrying increase of tourism of excesses in the municipality during the two years of Marga Prohens' Partido Popular Balearic Islands Government with the direct complicity of San Antonio mayor, Marcos Serra, and Vicent Mari's Ibiza island council. "It also demands urgent measures to stop the deterioration in co-existence, security and image. The PSOE regrets the death of yet another tourist and, with the lack of direction the municipality is suffering, again asks the mayor to convene round-table talks to work on the change of tourism model we need.' It continued: 'What we are experiencing today is the confirmation of a deliberate policy of permissiveness on the part of the Partido Popular, which puts the interests of those who benefit from the lack of control before the well-being of citizens. The PSOE denounces that the Balearic PP government has chosen to protect excesses and progressively dismantle the tools of control.' In light of Gary's death, Ibiza Rocks has paused its events programme, with a spokesperson giving the following statement: 'We are deeply shocked and devastated by the recent incidents that have tragically occurred. "Our priority is to support those affected and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, and to fully assist the authorities with their investigations. The safety and wellbeing of our guests has, and always will remain, our highest priority.'

Passenger discovers mobile phone flight hack but people spot one major problem
A Tiktokker revealed 'old school' travel item can be your solution for a quick flight hack; which saves you from cramps but Tiktok viewers seem to have their own thoughts on the hack We've all been there - you're on a flight, you want to watch something on your phone, but there's nowhere to put it without either cramping your neck or holding it for hours. But one Tiktokker @Chlowfaraway has revealed a simple travel hack, which solves the issue. While the hack drew many views in, viewers were quick to point out a glaring issue. In the viral clip a passenger is seen slipping their printed boarding pass into the latch of the seat-back tray table. This creates a makeshift holder where you can rest your phone for hands-free viewing and the hack racked up over a half a million likes and plenty of praise for the awkward mid-air juggle. But while the idea was clever, many in the comments section weren't impressed and not because of the hack itself. Instead, people were surprised that the passenger even had a printed boarding pass to begin with. One viewer said: "Who prints their boarding passes? Jesus." Another chimed in: "Travel hack: you can get your ticket on your phone since like 10 years ago." But not everyone had this mindset and defended the old-school approach, with one saying: "I love the physical ticket! Y'all are so weird acting like it's so outdated bc it's just a different option lol." And some simply pointed out that flying in certain countries or on international trips often still requires a paper pass, whether we like it or not. Either way, the trick sparked debate about whether printed tickets are a thing of the past - but if you do still carry one, it looks like it can come in handy for more than just getting on the plane.

Traveller reveals what dreamy tourist hotspot is REALLY like - with litter everywhere and buildings falling down
A keen traveller has opened up about his experience of a dreamy tourist hotspot and revealed the less desirable side of the island rarely shown on social media. Joshwa, a travel influencer who regularly posts about his journeys around the world on TikTok, posted a series of clips from his time in Bali. Bali is an island in Indonesia, located within Southeast Asia. Known for its beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine and jaw-dropping landscapes, the island is often portrayed as a luxury location. However, though Joshwa praised the 'fabulous culture' and 'great hospitality', he noted there were other aspects, including how locals don't reap the same benefits as tourists. One of the content creator's videos showed decrepit buildings, abandoned beanbags along a beach and litter piled high. The clip also featured footage of makeshift buildings with metal roofs and poorly maintained roads. He captioned the video with: 'Amazingly stunning Island. 'Bali's fabulous culture, beautiful people, with great hospitality did not fail to impress. 'However, the island lacks the infrastructure that it needs to be able to sustain 1. The littering and pollution issue and 2. the over tourism issue that currently is not sustainable.' The footage attracted over 700,000 views and thousands of likes, with many taking to the comments to share their verdicts on the tourist hotspot. One penned: 'Went once. Not for me. Gilly Islands were the best part about the trip but Bali is a hard no for me.' While someone else pointed out the economic situation of the country and said: 'The biggest bill in this country is literally $6, with the average salary $250 per month, what do people expect.' Another added: 'You go to another country for a cultural experience… that's Bali stay at the resort if your an influencer cause that's who you are a resorter… I like to embrace and immerse myself in the culture mix with the locals they are beautiful people!' 'Finally someone is actually showing facts…,' one watcher chimed in. In another video, that attracted over one million views, Joshwa highlighted the struggles of local residents in Bali. The camera panned to show a busy restaurant, before flipping to fragile-looking buildings. At one point, it featured a sign that read 'please stop littering', stood next to a pile of plastic bottles and other rubbish. He captioned the video: 'I really agree with what Zoe said. Bali was very pretentious for me. Maybe just me, but full of people that aren't really my style. you get one or two humans. others seem to be lost in a world. somewhere. 'The locals are the best people, so caring, kind and hospitality is off the charts. it's such a shame they can't share their Island and enjoy it to the full extent tourists do!. 'I'm going to do a longer reel on this but it's just crazy it came up at the same time. because just the other day I was saying how Bali is for pollution, poverty, lack of health standards. 'Whilst everyone is in a beach cop live in lavish life spending thousands of pounds and the locals cannot enjoy their life or even integrate with the tourists because of the lack of the above. 'Molly Mae's sister wasn't telling lies.' Joshwa's videos come after Molly Mae's sister, Zoe Rae, left Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. @plantpotworldwide I really agree with what Zoe said. Bali was very pretentious for me. Maybe just me, but full of people that aren't really my style. you get one or two humans. others seem to be lost in a world. somewhere. The locals are the best people, so caring, kind and hospitality is off the charts. it's such a shame they can't share their Island and enjoy it to the full extent tourists do!. I'm going to do a longer reel on this but it's just crazy it came up at the same time. because just the other day I was saying how Bali is for pollution, poverty, lack of health standards. Whilst everyone is in a beach cop live in lavish life spending thousands of pounds and the locals cannot enjoy their life or even integrate with the tourists because of the lack of the above. Molly Mae's sister wasn't telling lies. #PlantPotJosh #PlantPotWorldWide #TravelTikTok #fyp #Viral #Travel #Bali #Asia #MollyMae #Indonesia #Creator #RealLife ♬ original sound - Daily Mail UK The fitness influencer, 28, had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.'
