Sol de Janeiro's new shimmer cream is the secret to luminous skin all summer
Mirror's shopping writer Grace tested out Sol de Janeiro's new limited-edition body cream that gives the skin a golden glow and smells like warm, toasty caramel It feels like summer has officially landed in the UK with the glorious, sunny weather we've been having. And that can only mean one thing, it's time to get our warm weather bodycare products nothing better than coming off the beach or getting ready for dinner and taking a soothing shower, followed up with some luxurious products. And Sol De Janeiro's latest limited-edition drop is literally summer in a tub. If glowing, golden skin and dessert-sweet scents are on your summer wish list, the Cheirosa 71 Body Cream is about to become your new obsession. This cream is somehow both a rich yet lightweight product packed full of nourishing ingredients that really makes your complexion glow. It's infused with macadamia nut oil to keep skin soft and nourished, while the golden mica leaves behind that luminous sheen that gives off that "I just got back from the beach" vibe. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 71 Body Cream review I'm a big fan of the Sol de Janeiro sprays, and I've tried out their Delicia Drench Body Butter before. So I went in expecting this new product to have a similar thick, buttery consistency and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a bit lighter and creamier. In the summer, I don't like to use thick and heavy moisturisers, so this one perfectly fit the bill. I am also someone who wants to look ridiculously glowy and shiny. However, there's a fine line for me between looking perfectly radiant and looking glittery, and I'm talking Edward Cullen in Twilight glittery. The latter is exactly what I don't want. Luckily for me, the finish was a gorgeous luminous sheen, and the subtle shimmer was the perfect level. I would 100% take this on holiday as a post-beach day/pre-dinner body glow. Additionally, if you're someone who shops for body care based on scent first, this cream will be right up your street. It has the same smell as the Cheriosa 71 Body Mist, and if you haven't smelt that before, think rich caramelised vanilla, toasted macadamia nut, and a sweetness that lingers all day long. For me, the scent just borders on being too sweet. I'm more of a sea salt, citrus, and cotton fragrance fan (like The White Company's Sea Salt Lotion or Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Creme) . However, I do appreciate how long-lasting the smell actually is, it's one that you can still smell on your skin hours later. It's also worth noting that this is a limited-edition product so it will not be sticking around permenantley. And it's one that I cannot wait to take away on holiday.

Robert Pattinson hits out at claim ‘Twilight' series damaged vampire genre
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Robert Pattinson has responded to long-standing criticism from horror film fans who are convinced the 'Twilight' series damaged the vampire genre. The 38-year-old actor found global fame playing Edward Cullen, the brooding vampire protagonist of the 'Twilight' films alongside Kristen Stewart, who played Bella Swan in the movies. He has now told GQ Spain about how he doesn't believe claims the series damaged the bloodsucking horror genre: 'I love that people keep telling me, 'Man, 'Twilight' ruined the vampire genre.' 'Are you still stuck on that s***? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It's crazy.' The first 'Twilight' film in the franchise debuted in 2008, marking the start of a cultural phenomenon. Over the years, Robert has frequently reflected on the impact of the series and the polarising responses it elicited from audiences. In a 2019 interview with Variety, he commented on how divisive the films were. He said: 'The people who don't like it are generally people who haven't seen it, and they 're like all judgmental and stuff, and cynical people. 'But I think I am a judgmental and cynical person who would just mindlessly hate it without ever having seen anything.' He also admitted to finding the series' storyline unusual, adding: 'I mean, it's a weird story, 'Twilight'. 'It's strange how people responded. They are very romantic, but at the same time, it's not like 'The Notebook' romantic. ''The Notebook' is very, very sweet and heartbreaking and stuff. 'Twilight' is about this guy who finds the one girl he wants to be with, and also wants to eat her. Well not eat her, drink her blood, whatever.' Recalling his experience during the making of the first 'Twilight' film, Robrert told GQ he had approached it with a serious attitude, aiming to make it 'as arty as possible'. But this approach clashed with the studio's vision for the movies. He added: 'My team sat me down and said, 'Okay, so whatever you're doing right now, after lunch just do the opposite, or you'll be fired by the end of the day.' 'And I was like, 'Okay.' And so that was the only thing that got me to sort of smile a little bit.'
