'This milky toner promises glass skin – and people actually noticed'
Mirror's shopping writer Grace has tried her fair share of milky toners, but Beauty of Joseon's one has taken the top spot after she received compliments from strangers on her glowy skin
Milky toners have become a bit of a skincare trend this year, and I'm personally a huge fan of them. Having already tried out a few formulas, including BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, and Curel's Moisture Facial Milk, £20, I love the glow they give and how much they hydrate the skin, ready for make-up.
Even Hailey Bieber swears by a drop of her rhode Glazing Milk mixed into foundation for the ultimate lit-from-within look.
So when I discovered the internet's trendiest K-Beauty skincare brand, Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, I couldn't wait to try it out.
This milky toner is packed full of skin-loving ingredients that hydrate, calm, and nourish in one go. It has a dual-layer formula, which involves a light, essence-like liquid combined with a powdery base that not only provides serious moisture but also helps keep oil and shine in check.
This is especially a lifesaver if, like me, you suffer from oily skin and need to keep it at bay during the summer months without drying your skin out.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk review
As I previously mentioned, I'm already an avid user of milky toners, so it was unsurprising that I enjoyed using Beauty of Joseon's one so much. However, what cemented this one in particular as my new go-to is how well it works for oily skin.
Other milky toners can sometimes lean on the side of shiny, rather than radiant, but that wasn't the case with this rice milk.
Not to mention, I got literally stopped in the street and complimented on my "glass skin", which hasn't happened to me with the other milky toners I've used.
It definitely gives that luminous, "I drink three litres of water a day" glow, and because it's infused with rice extract and rice amino acids, it actually feeds your skin with a whole load of vitamins and antioxidants.
My only criticism is that I would prefer the consistency were slightly thicker; it is far more watery than other milky toners I've used in the past, and that leads me to pouring out a bit too much product every time I use it.
Overall, however, I think it's the perfect glowy but not greasy base for under makeup or those makeup-free days when you want your skin to do all the talking.

Louis Tomlinson snapped squeezing Zara McDermott's bum on romantic holiday
Louis Tomlinson has been pictured putting on the PDA with his girlfriend Zara McDermott during a romantic trip in Costa Rica together, in a clear sign their romance is hotting up Singer Louis Tomlinson has been snapped getting handsy with his girlfriend Zara McDermott as their romance hots up. The singing sensation, 33, was seen playfully and affectionately grasping and patting 28 year old Zara's bottom as the pair share a romantic kiss in exclusive pictures and video obtained by the Mirror. Louis, who was recently snapped passionately kissing Zara, is seen bringing out his playful side as they enjoyed a tropical adventure in Costa Rica. They were seen browsing local spots, as the newly loved-up couple embraced and kissed. Zara looked radiant in a white strapless top and matching trousers, with a turquoise tie neck bikini under her top – ready for any adventure her romantic trip with Louis might offer. She accessorised her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a beige cap to cover her hair, which was tied in an adorable plait. The former Love Island beauty turned documentary-maker kept her valuables in a designer bag for the outing, which comprised of wicker-style material and leather straps. Meanwhile, Louis wore a pair of white shorts with a pastel orange top and sunglasses as he gave Zara a smooch, his tatted arm wrapped around Zara's waist as he cheekily rested his hand on her bottom and gave her a kiss, which was warmly received by Zara as she affectionately put her hand on Louis' neck. The loved-up lad looked incredibly relaxed in Zara's company as he puffed on a cigarette and struck a pose as if he was dancing. Meanwhile, it seemed the pair are enjoying being playful with one another as one photo sees Louis and Zara mucking about together – with him pretending to look serious while placing a hand on Zara's chest and extending out his arm, a move which received a big grin from smitten reality star Zara, who is seen affectionately holding Louis' wrist. The playful moment then saw the pair both descend into wide smiles, with them both grinning from ear to ear as they mucked around with one another. Later, to add to the already action-packed trip, Louis and Zara were seen hopping on a red ATV quad bike which saw the Bigger Than Me crooner take charge as he steered the vehicle while Zara sat behind him and took in the sights around her. Earlier this month it was reported Zara flew 5,000 miles to join Louis for a romantic trip while he worked on his upcoming album. It's been claimed by insiders that Louis splashed thousands for Zara to join him, flying her first class from London to Costa Rica after she attended the TV BAFTAs. The pair first struck up romance rumours earlier this year as they were photographed on a cosy date in Suffolk in March, just a few weeks after Zara's split from her long-term boyfriend Sam Thompson, who is now dating Samie Elishi. Louis and Zara then enjoyed a cosy trip together in Los Angeles, with Zara finally unveiling her romance on Instagram as the pair enjoyed a brunch date together. Since then, it appears their romance has continued to hot up as Zara is now supporting Louis in Costa Rica. But, she won't be in the stands of Old Trafford for Soccer Aid as Louis is set to play alongside Zara's ex Sam for the charity match next month.

Why Hailey Bieber's transformation from nepobaby fangirl to billionaire tycoon spells disaster for spiralling Justin
[authenticated-html ] Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... [/authenticated-html] SHE'S been slammed as the ultimate nepo-baby and fangirl, who married her celebrity crush and then spent years riding off his coattails. But Hailey Bieber got the last laugh this week, after revealing that her massively successful make-up brand, Rhode, has now been sold to e.l.f a whopping $1bn. 13 13 13 Meanwhile, her husband Justin Bieber seems to be digging himself into an even bigger hole, as he continues his downward spiral - amid rumours that he's squandered millions of his own fortune in recent years. Now, the gulf between them seems to be wider than ever. And with Hailey, 28, all set to take on 'an even bigger role' as part of her brand's acquisition, it looks like the power dynamic has switched between them for good. She's now officially the breadwinner, and it's Justin who's riding off Hailey's coattails. Taking to Instagram to announce the deal this week, the beauty icon told her followers: 'When I launched Rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company and the most important thing for me is to keep bringing Rhode to more spaces, places and faces globally.' She added that she felt 'invigorated, excited and even more ready than ever' to assume her new role as Chief Creative Officer, Head of Innovation of Rhode, and strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty.' Speaking exclusively to the Sun, brand and culture expert Nick Ede tells us that Hailey's brand sale is a master stroke - elevating her to the big leagues. And what's even more impressive is that - unlike her BFF Kylie Jenner - she didn't have a reality TV show or sisters with millions of followers behind her to bolster her brand. 'Hailey hasn't had the power of a TV show like the Kardashians, or Rihanna with her music before launching her brand, Fenty,' says Nick. 'She's done this really on her own. Obviously, she's become more famous because of her husband, but she's now outshining him in every way.' Troubled Justin Bieber gives fans a peek inside his night as he skips Met Gala & leaves Hailey to attend big event alone 13 13 He adds that - unlike some celebrities who put their names to a business, but then check out - Hailey's been heavily involved in every facet of making Rhode a success. And even though she's now struck gold, she's staying committed to growing the business. Nick explains: 'Hailey's not just taking the cheque and leaving. She still wants to be at the helm of the brand, be innovative, and talk to her customers online. 'And with e.l.f. Beauty, they can expand it globally, because a lot of high street shoppers might not actually know about the brand [yet]. This is a very exciting time for her.' Different paths It's certainly a surprising outcome for the Biebers - considering where they both stood in the pecking order when they got married in 2018. Back then, Justin was at the height of his global fame and fortune, having reportedly amassed a fortune of up to $500m. Meanwhile, Hailey was wealthy thanks to her family connections - her father is the The Usual Suspects star Stephen Baldwin - and her credentials as an LA influencer and model, but she hadn't quite made it to the big leagues. Their early years of marriage were spent travelling around the world for Justin's career - with Hailey playing the role of loyal and dutiful wife. However, the balance first started to shift in 2022, when Hailey launched her beauty brand during COVID lockdown. 13 She's said she was heavily influenced by her mother, model Kennya Baldwin, who had long taught her about the importance of a good skincare routine. As one of Instagram's most popular influencers - with a following of 55m - Hailey, who shares nine-month-old son Jack with Justin, leveraged the power of social media. She duly came up with products that her Gen Z followers couldn't get enough of and couldn't wait to share - including her viral phone case that holds her signature lip gloss. Her range also includes skin milks, peptide lip tints, cleansers and moisturisers, which have all been praised highly by skincare experts across the board. Authentic ambassador Nick tells us that the strength of her brand - ever since she launched it three years ago - has been in its authenticity. Just like Victoria Beckham with her own beauty brand, Hailey has spotlit all the products herself, proving to be its greatest asset and ambassador. 'Hailey promotes the products on social media herself,' he says. 'That makes people feel they have their friends recommending things to them. 'Plus, what's great about her [as the face of the brand] is she's elegant. "She's absolutely gorgeous, and pretty natural in many ways compared to other stars we see today who've had so many surgeries. 'She's stylish, sophisticated and is an elegant brand ambassador and entrepreneur.' Ironically, just as Hailey's star started to ascend three years ago with the creation of her brand, Justin's career began to nosedive. 13 In September 2022, the former child star cancelled the remainder of his 'Justice' tour following a rare diagnosis of Type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which is a facial paralysis disease. This meant he lost out on an estimated $90m in earnings from the tour, and he was also left owing more than $20m to the tour's promoter, AEG, which he paid thanks to a loan from his then manager, Scooter Braun. Then, a year later, Justin was forced to sell his entire music catalogue for $200m to cover mounting debts. Obviously, this kept him in the lap of luxury, but - in the past few years - insiders have said he's burning money, without bringing any more in. Blowing his fortune The 31 year old hasn't released new music in three years, and he's recently caused concern with his incoherent messages online and dishevelled appearance. There's been some speculation that Justin's increasingly unhinged behaviour, which includes posing with drug paraphernalia online, is linked to his former mentor P Diddy's arrest and ongoing trial. But this has been rubbished by Justin's spokesperson, who said earlier this month that 'Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims'. Nevertheless, general consensus is that Justin is on a downward spiral - and his fortune is reportedly more at risk than ever, as he continues to spend thousands of dollars. Speaking last month, an insider reported that Justin had blown millions on his birthday celebrations in March. 'He's flying in all his friends on private jets to his birthday party, putting it all over Instagram,' they said. 'He'll spend $300,000 at the Nobu at Coachella. [Meanwhile] he hasn't worked in a really long time.' What's more, the troubled singer is also reportedly spending thousands of dollars on his pastor, Judah Smith, who runs the controversial Churchome - a non-denominational church beloved by Beverly Hills celebrities. According to one source, 'Justin started to add Judah to the boards of his businesses - he is buying him $300,000 Rolexes and all this kind of stuff. Everyone around Justin is a part of this church.' Separate lives With Justin's very lavish, seemingly unhinged lifestyle, it seems as if the couple could use this billion-dollar boost more than ever. But it's safe to say that Hailey's new deal comes with certain strings attached. While Justin has been unravelling in public, Hailey is known for being a very clean-cut, responsible businesswoman and influencer - and that's sure to be the expectations placed upon her moving forwards as the brand's Chief Creative Officer. 13 13 What's more, the deal is actually comprised of $800m paid in cash and stock, and $200m based on the future growth of the brand over the next three years. With that in mind, Hailey will be focused on making sure the brand continues to soar. To that end, she'll have to do everything possible to make sure that her husband - who was once her path to higher status - doesn't end up becoming a liability. In recent weeks, the pair have stepped out independently. Last weekend, Hailey hit the town with her friends, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, at an LA fashion party. This followed her recent solo jaunts to the Miami F1 Grand Prix and the Met Gala. She also landed her first ever solo cover for US Vogue this month - having previously posed for the publication alongside Justin in 2019. The implication is that, at least in the public eye, she's ready to do things alone and she's proving to be all the more popular for it. Rumours have swiftly spread that their marriage is in crisis, as the pair are clearly living very different lives. But, for the moment at least, they continue to be a united front - with Hailey recently insisting in her Vogue interview that they're still as committed as ever. As Nick tells us, whatever might be going on for Justin right now, this really is Hailey's moment. And if she plays her cards right, it could only be the beginning for the beauty mogul. 'I think we'll see an even bigger rise for Hailey,' he says. 'Whether that's her getting her own docuseries, or being the new judge on something like Shark Tank [the US version of Dragons Den ], or being an investor in other brands and build them up. This is her time.' As for Justin, he showed his support for Hailey's career milestone this week by reposting her Instagram message announcing Rhode's acquisition. But behind the scenes, it's fair to say that the die has now been cast - and while Justin was the bigger earner in the past, his wife's now bringing home the bacon. Whether he cleans up his act, and manages to stay in the lap of luxury, remains to be seen. 13

Jesse Lingard shows off new look as Man Utd cult hero, 32, stars in GQ Korea advert
JESSE LINGARD shocked fans with a brand new hairdo while featuring in a GQ advert. Lingard, 32, signed for Korean side FC Seoul last February after his deal with Nottingham Forest came to an end. 3 Jesse Lingard showed off a new look this week 3 Lingard, 32, signed for Korean side FC Seoul in February 2024 Credit: AFP Lingard spent eight months without a side after leaving the City Ground, before penning a two-year deal in the Korean capital. The former Manchester United star has scored four goals in 16 league matches for Seoul this season, who sit seventh in the K League 1. Lingard showed off his new trim in an interview with GQ Korea and admitted to visiting his barber at least once a week. The ex-England international said: "Every time I get a haircut, I like to brush. I need to be looking fresh.

"Probably once a week, I get a haircut. Very popular in England, this haircut." Old team-mate Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who spent five years at United, was quick to compliment Lingard's new locks. He commented: "I like the hair bro," on his Instagram post. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS People online were also quick to react to Lingard's drastic change in appearance. One X user wrote: "He looks like a K-pop star." Jesse Lingard reels off FIVE different celebrations after ex-Man Utd star scores bizarre goal in South Korea Another added: "Bro actually looks Korean now." Lingard, who used to be partially blamed for Man Utd's downturn, recently opened up about the crisis at his boyhood club where he spent 22 years. He told BBC Sport: "They will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world and fans will support them through thick and thin. "It might be a long-term project with Ruben Amorim. He knows what he wants to do. "It's tough when you're not in the Champions League to attract players so he was relying on winning the Europa League. "It's harder to recruit when you're not in the Champions League. It's 100 per cent a factor." Lingard moved to West Ham on loan a year before his Forest switch and the Englishman bagged nine goals in 16 games. But he struggled at the City ground, featuring just 20 times before being released after a string of injuries in summer 2023. He revealed "life's good" in Korea and believes he has rapidly adapted to the different style of football. The United academy star also admitted to scoffing McDonalds and Papa Johns since moving to Korea.
