Huda Beauty supports Palestine with Saint Levant collab
DUBAI: Huda Kattan, the US-Iraqi founder of Huda Beauty, this week launched a new collaboration with US-based Palestinian singer Saint Levant to support Palestine. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ 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. A post shared by HUDA BEAUTY (@hudabeauty) '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.' A post shared by HUDA BEAUTY (@hudabeauty) 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. A post shared by Huda (@huda) 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.' A post shared by HUDA BEAUTY (@hudabeauty) 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.

Huda Lip Contour Lip Stain, Tested and Reviewed by an Editor
Fun fact: Whenever I see a new makeup product reach TikTok fame, the beauty journalist in me must try it, pronto. Maybe it's a problem, but hey, a girl can have hobbies. The latest viral sensations (the products, not me) to pique my interest are Huda Beauty's Lip Contour Stains and Faux Filler Jelly Oils. These lip stain pens and lip oils launched a few weeks ago, and in possibly the most iconic way. Huda Kattan, founder of Huda Beauty, took to social media, posting a video of her doing the 'burger test'. She tucked into a juicy burger wearing the new lip stains and jelly oils and ~ shock ~ the stain didn't move. My attention was grabbed, and then secured when I saw other major TikTokers like Mikayla Nogueira try it out. The stain and oil can be bought separately to create the illusion of fuller lips or a glossy sheen. But when paired together, that's where the magic happens, as you're left with a pigmented, smudge-proof lip that has the same shine as a jelly doughnut on top. The duo is called Huda's Jelly Stained Lip Kit after all. The lip stain is available in eight shades to flatter a wide range of skin and lip tones, ranging from soft pinks to caramel-y warm nudes and, of course, a punchy red to top it off. The first thing I noticed was how fluffy the liner tip was, not like the usual felt-tip style nib of other lip stains. Yes, it felt smooth on my smackers but as I blended, I discovered that the applicator helped diffuse the stain for a plump and contoured effect. I was also surprised at how lightweight the stain felt. Not once did my lips feel dehydrated or in desperate need of lip balm, and it's thanks to argan oil which helped to seamlessly glide on the pigment but also keep my lips feeling hydrated. The finishing touch is the new Faux Filler Jelly Oil. Don't get me wrong, the stains have enough 'wow' factor to be worn alone for a natural, plump look. But, IMO, they really come to life with the ultra-glossy lip oil. They're available in three wearable, pinky shades—Pink Lady, Peach and Goji—each adding the most juicy, non-sticky sheen of oil to really make the pigment pop. They also contain peptides and shea butter, so these oils are great to slather on, even without the stain, if your lips are feeling a little parched. I was honestly surprised at how well the pigment lasted, barely budging throughout an entire evening filled with drinks, dinner, and a theatre production involving a lot of laughing (and ice cream). The oil, as I'd expect, wore off following dinner, but the stain lasted for at least seven hours. And I'm sure if I hadn't gone to bed, it would have lasted the entire 12. Now, here's the only caveat. When I first used the stain, I was disappointed at how many times I had to go over with the pen for the pigment to really pop. But then I discovered that there's a reason for it. The formula contains a polymer named polyurethane-3,5, which is held in a cotton-like mechanism. Due to its viscous nature, the stain struggles to flow down the tip if it's pointing upwards. So it's best to store the pen upside down to ensure the stain flows to the tip of the pen and draws an intensely pigmented line. Considering my makeup storage of choice is a filthy cosmetic bag, I wouldn't say this is exactly convenient. However, I'm willing to overlook this for the pigmented pout that withstands any snack or smooch. As for the oils, a summer staple that's for sure.

Dele Alli's ex-girlfriend Cindy Kimberly shows former England ace what he's missing as she shows off her curves in first modelling campaign since confirming split
If he thinks it's all over, well it is now as footballer Dele Alli 's model ex-girlfriend seamlessly moves on from their recent split in a stunning new promotional campaign. The former Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder, currently signed to Italian side Como, is understood to be single following the collapse of his long-term relationship with Cindy Kimber ly. And the Spanish-Indonesian model has shown the talented midfielder what he's missing in the Made To Kiss campaign on behalf of online beauty brand Huda. Alongside beauty expert Uche Natori and company founder Huda Kattan, Kimberly, 26, looks stunning as she showcases the brand's latest lip stains and oils. Accentuating her curves in a distinctive tan catsuit, the model commands attention while taking centre stage in the promotional music video. It comes amid rumours that Alli, 29, cheated on Kimberly during a boozy trip to Ibiza, with the model subsequently unfollowing him on social media in June. Cindy Kimberly has shown the talented midfielder what he's missing in the Made To Kiss campaign on behalf of online beauty brand Huda Shortly after she unfollowed the footballer, Kimberly posted to reveal that the pair had decided to call quits on their relationship. The model later confirmed the couple separated some time ago, telling media outlet GSM: 'We've been separate for a little while already.' The couple went public with their relationship in June 2022, and as recently as January, Kimberly - who once graced the cover of Sports Illustrated - could be seen posing with Alli as he completed his move to Serie A side Como. Kimberly had been a rock for the footballer, who in 2023 opened up on his traumatic childhood, which included being sexually abused as young as the age of six. The model also stood by him as he revealed his addiction to sleeping pills and the mental health issues he has had to deal with, in an incredibly raw interview with Gary Neville. But now, it seems their relationship is over. Cindy is believed to have wiped all pictures of the pair together, including one taken of them in Como as recently as April, from her Instagram. On the pitch, meanwhile, Alli will be hoping that the upcoming season will prove more fruitful than the last. The footballer has endured a difficult few years both on and off the pitch and hadn't played a professional game for two seasons before he was afforded the chance to train with Como. Cesc Fabregas, the Como manager, then opted to bring Alli on board officially, handing him his debut against AC Milan in March. However, his return did not go to plan - lasting only 10 minutes - as he was red-carded and Como went on to lose to the Rossoneri. Alli has not been seen on the grass since.
