Monochrome Monday: Cocoa Cupcake
Cocoa Cupcake is a shade of grounded elegance- familiar, comforting, and full of depth. Jul 28, 2025 Brown possesses a multifaceted character, sometimes rustic and earthy, other times dark and brooding. Yet, Cocoa Cupcake is in a league of its own. Its richness outshines standard chocolate, its depth eclipses simple wood. This is the hue of quiet luxury and subtle revelations. Off-Shoulder Hand-Pleated Chiffon Gown | Marmar Halim Sculpted yet weightless, this hand-pleated chiffon gown swathes the body in rich folds of cocoa chiffon. With its off-shoulder neckline and corseted structure, it brings couture-level drama to brown-tinted elegance. Sequin Strapless Dress | Dima Ayad Fully sequined in bronze with a fiery red hem, this strapless column dress is bold, polished, and made for golden hour glamour. Franca Sparkle 105 in Brown | Andrea Wazen A classic silhouette with a crystal twist—this satin heel pairs a pointed toe with sparkle-strewn tulle for polished drama. Carmen Co-ord | House of THL This mocha-toned set pairs a sleeveless trench-style tunic with flowy wide-leg trousers. Sophisticated enough for city strolls, relaxed enough for summer getaways. Amber 23 | Kayali This scent wraps black cherry, honey, and tobacco leaf in soft rose and deep amber. It's the kind of fragrance that lingers long after you've left the room. Merzouga Top | Hanan Sharifa With its mesh and flowing scarf sleeve, this asymmetrical top was made for sun-drenched days and cool desert nights. Ayla Satin Knot Top | Abadia Brown hue and sculptural side knot, this satin top adds easy sophistication to any outfit—effortless, but never plain. Dome Clutch | Okhtein A refined take on a signature style, the Dome Clutch brings a sculptural edge to nighttime dressing—sleek, distinctive, and made to stand out. Takion T1 | Gentle Monster These tortoise-toned frames bring a quiet edge to any look. Round, compact, and easy to style.

Kayali's 'yummy' best selling vanilla scents are £12 each in Sephora set
Two 'yummy' vanilla fragrances are available at a bargain price in this deal Sephora shoppers are snapping up the brand's best selling vanilla scents for £12 each in a mini gift set. The 'yummy' perfumes still feature the iconic Kayali bottle design even in the miniature size, which makes them small enough to fit into any bag. Inside the set are two 5ml bottles of vanilla scents from the brand: the OG Vanilla 28 and the more recent addition Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar. The former blends together rich vanillas, warm brown sugar and velvety tonka while the latter is sweeter with candied pear, bubble gum and even violet. The set doesn't include a spray top, much like Penhaligon's £50 Ladies Fragrance Collection, which some shoppers find annoying. The perfumes are available in a 10ml size that does come with a spray top for £28 each. Charlotte Tilbury also has a giftset of three popular scents from her collection, currently reduced to £33.60, which includes spray tops. The set has pulled in an impressive 83 five-star reviews. One shopper said: "I have been a fan of Kayali since the first time I tried it, so it's no surprise that I loved these scents! The vanilla candy scent is one I haven't tried before but I got so many compliments, 10/10!" Another wrote: "Received this in my stocking for Christmas and let me tell you, it smell's incredible! I love sweet yummy scents and both of these do just that! I also love how adorable the little perfume bottles are, great packaging. Highly recommend these! Will definitely be buying the bigger bottles!" Some shoppers were annoyed that the bottles didn't come with a spray, forcing them to dab the perfume on instead. One wrote: "Loves these two, definitely will be getting a bigger size once these run out. I was a bit confused on how to use them because they don't have a spray part the clear top doesn't come off you have to pull the neck off to use it." Our very own perfume expert Jada Jones has tried both scents and said: " Vanilla 28 is a classic warm vanilla and something of an essential in any gourmand perfume collection. It is worth keeping in mind that the perfume is a dark brown colour which can show up on light clothing items so it's best to apply before getting dressed to avoid transfer.

Kayali just took home fragrance of the year
Big news in the beauty world: Kayali, the fragrance brand founded by UAE-based mogul and scent-obsessive Mona Kattan, has officially won Fragrance of the Year – Women's Prestige at the iconic Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York. Yep, that's *the* Oscars of perfume, and Kayali just took home the crown. The winning scent? Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar – a warm, playful, and downright addictive perfume that's already become a global fave. Think candied pear, jellybean, vanilla cream, white caramel and of course, sweet vanilla cream… it's basically a dreamy candy shop bottled up. It's a full-on nostalgia trip in a bottle – and clearly, the fragrance world is obsessed. Supplied Sharing the moment, Mona said: 'This moment is the culmination of passion, persistence, and an incredible community that continues to believe in KAYALI. We believe fragrance is more than a product – it's a story, a mood, a bookmark to our memories.' Mona Kattan, CEO, Kayali. Supplied Let's not forget Kayali means 'my imagination' in Arabic. Since launching in 2018, the brand has stayed true to that name, blending Mona's Middle Eastern heritage with modern luxury, storytelling, and craftsmanship. And the result? A line of 27 unique, long-lasting, cruelty-free fragrances that have shaken up the industry. Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar was crafted by Kayali's go-to perfumer Gabriela Chelariu of dsm-firmenich and launched with a candy-coated campaign starring Mona herself (alongside beauty creators like Jake-Jamie and Funmi Monet). The scent flew off shelves after launching in May 2024 – and yes, it sold out in multiple countries. This isn't just a win for Mona – it's a big deal for the region, too. A fragrance brand born in Dubai, powered by a global audience, and rooted in identity and imagination? That's the future of beauty, and Kayali's leading the charge. Big win. Big energy. Mona Kattan, we see you. Another big slay for the iconic sisters: Huda recently reclaimed full ownership of Huda Beauty.
