We might ‘like’ it, but we’re secretly fuming on the inside!

1. A snap of you…in a bikini…on a beach…doing yoga. OK, so you’ve spent months trying to perfect your downward facing dog and yes, you look amazing for it, but PURRRLEASE don’t rub it in our faces. It’s not very Zen.

2. Pictures of an À la carte dish your Ryan Gosling lookalike boyfriend has just prepared for you. We’re eating frozen pizza tonight…Alone!

3. A photograph of the cleansing green juice you have just made and are about to drink. We’ll fully support yet another one of your juice detox diets, but please don’t make us feel bad about heating up last night’s leftover kebab for dinner.

4. A gym selfie. Again, see above. We’ll get around to our own gym membership when we’re good and ready, OK?!

5. Valentines’ Day cards/presents/cuddly toys/romantic meals/hotel breaks. Please have a heart and think of all the single ladies out there. Surely you were single once. No? Never?? Well, bully for you! Pass the cookie dough please.

6. Anything on a private jet.

7. Same goes for VIP entry to the hottest club in town, while we’re trying to sneak in through the toilet window.

8. A photo of your manicured feet on an exotic beach captioned ‘Paradise’. It’s lashing rain back home, and all we can afford this year is a weekend stay in our parent’s caravan…in the back garden.

9. A picture of your new designer handbag. You didn’t get that in Penneys did you?

10. Your fabulous new hairdo by a top stylist when we struggled to get a comb through our tangled mane this morning. The Sinead O’Connor look is back in again…isn’t it?!

Rihanna has been accused of cyberbullying one of her biggest fans after she mocked them over Twitter recently.

16 year-old Alexis Carter uploaded a photo of herself in an outfit clearly inspired by Rihanna to attend her prom.

However, the teenager was soon left with a bad taste in her mouth after the whole internet turned on her and mocked her.

But it wasn’t until her idol, Rihanna, joined in that Alexis really got upset: “I was very offended. Why throw shade on it when you had on the exact same thing? The pose was different but the outfit wasn’t … She doesn’t love her fans like she says she does.”

Rihanna’s tweet showed a photo of herself wearing the outfit, alongside Alexis’ outfit with a sad face, as well as another tweet with Alexis’ photo beside a Wu-Tang clan logo.

The singer also joined in and used the hashtag that was created because of the girl’s outfit, #PromBat.

Hmm, she may want to get that mean streak off the internet.

It really hasn’t been a great week for Riri as it was also revealed that her and Drake have split up following an explosive fight between the two.

Nicole Kidman has admitted she is “sad” that her latest movie Grace of Monaco has been snubbed by the Monaco royals.

The movie officially opened the 2014 Cannes Film Festival last night, and as well as being slaughtered in reviews, the Grace Kelly biopic has also been publicly slammed as “a farce” by the Monaco royal family.

Princess Stephanie, Princess Caroline and Prince Albert have put out a statement distancing themselves from the movie, which sees Nicole Kidman portray Princess Grace while Tim Roth plays Prince Rainier.

Nicole spoke of her sadness that the movie hadn’t received the royal family’s support.

“It’s their mother and father. And I understand it’s protection of their mother and father,” said the actress. “Obviously I feel sad”.

The family’s statement on the Olivier Dahan-directed film was based on reading the script and seeing the trailer but Nicole is still hopeful one day they will watch the finished movie.

“Ultimately if they ever did see (the movie), I think they would see there was an enormous amount of affection for both of their parents and for the love story of their parents,” said the actress.

“The film has no malice toward the family, particularly towards Grace or Rainier,” she explained. “It’s fictionalized. It’s not a biopic. It’s the essence of truth. But you take dramatic license at times.”

The movie will hit Irish screens on June 6th.

I’m a big fan of the natural daytime look, but as it’s coming into summer (and festival season is just around the corner!) it’s time to put the neutrals on hold and embrace colour and chaos.

I’ve been looking for the perfect summer eye shadow palette for a while and it’s really no surprise that I found it when I went for a make-up consultation at the Urban Decay counter in Debenhams on Dublin’s Henry Street.

Urban Decay is famous for its eye shadows; in fact, I doubt there’s a make-up lover out there who doesn’t own one of their incredible Naked palettes.

Urban Decay’s Electric palette may seem a little intimidating at first, but trust me, as soon as you see and feel how these shadows look on the skin, you’ll fall as head over heels as I did.

There are 10 shades, 2 previously released and 8 brand new, all using their velvety smooth, highly pigmented formula.

My lovely consultant Roisin walked me through the palette and demonstrated just how versatile these shades are and how even the smallest amount can make a big statement. Adding a pop of purple (Urban) or blue (Chaos) along a cat-eye flick or adding a splash of colour to the inner corner can give you the most gorgeous look!

This really is a must-have for summer, as is UO’s new line of beautiful skin products, Naked Skin Liquid Makeup, which are available in a fantastic range of shades and so lightweight it feels like you’ve nothing on your skin. A combination of these products and you’ll be set for summer and beyond. You can see how convincing my consultant was, right?

Oh and it’s not just me who gets to be pampered – the Urban Decay team at Debenhams Henry Street is offering FREE mini- makeovers exclusively to SHEmazing readers! Just call  to book your appointment and decide which area you want to focus on ( eyes or complexion) – simple!

Designer, Karl Largerfeld revealed his latest designs for the Chanel Cruise 14/15 collection in Dubai.

Karl said he was convinced that Coco Chanel would have loved Dubai and believed it was the perfect place to launch his new collection.

“She would have been fascinated by the Middle East, just as she was fascinated by China and England. Dubai’s a city that rose out of the sea and desert in less than 30 years.”

Karl’s new collection varied in designs from dark colours to bold prints. Largerfeld also seems to be returning to a boho chic look, as some of the models displayed his latest designs of flowing dresses and blouses on the catwalk.

Famous faces were also spotted at the catwalk event with the likes of Dakota Fanning, Tilda Swinton, Vanessa Paradis and Freido Pinto all seen sitting in the front row.

It may seem like the end of the world right now, but there are plenty of reasons why you can be thankful for your latest heartbreak:

The worst is over
Even though you’re convinced you will never be able to overcome this pain, the worst is well and truly over. No more arguments, passive aggressiveness, negotiations and that horrible Facebook changing of your relationship status. It’s all over now.

You’re free
Initially it may not feel like it, but being single is definitely liberating.

You have more time for friends
It’s times like these that you realise who your true friends are. Let’s face it, while you were in your relationship you missed out on a lot, because you were spending so much time with your significant other. Now is the perfect opportunity to forget about your heartache and make up for all of that lost time.

The one
So he wasn’t the one, that’s ok, you now know more than ever what you really need to find in a partner.

Stronger
Cheesy but true. While the beginning of that nasty heartbreak is never nice, you will come out of it a lot stronger than you’ve ever been and of course, with a great fresh perspective.

But we barely recognised her with this dramatic new look!

The MTV presenter looked like a completely different girl as she posed for an Instagram snap while on a photoshoot.

Laure ditched her usual red carpet look for something a whole lot more dramatic!

Just look at those cheekbones – we’re not jealous at all!

English model Edie Campbell has been named the new face of Yves Saint Laurent’s new fragrance.

She follows in the footsteps of Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and our ever- favourite model Kate Moss.

The 24-year-old is very excited about her new role, saying: “I am truly honoured to become ambassadress for Yves Saint Laurent. The brand’s modern vision of beauty is very inspiring and I am particularly proud to represent such an audacious archetype of woman.”

While you may not be familiar with the young beauty, she has been around for a few years after appearing in Vogue at the tender age of 15.  Even editor-in-chief at Vogue Anna Wintour loves the British star, saying: “Edie has the kind of quirky beauty that fashion types can’t help loving.” Now that’s a compliment if we ever heard one!

Edie will be working alongside Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn who are already signed to the fashion house – us jealous? Never…

McBusted star Dougie Poynter is said to be absolutely gutted that his ex-girlfriend Ellie Goulding was snapped looking totally smitten by a hunky fitness instructor.

Ellie is said to be dating Sam Karl, a member of staff at Barry’s Bootcamp in Miami Beach.

The Burn singer was spotted looking head over heels with Sam on a luxury yacht owned by Justin Bieber last week!

Ellie and Sam racked up countless PDAs as they frolicked in the sea together.

Ellie, who previously dated electronic musician Skrillex and War Horse actor Jeremy Irvine, has been single since her romance with pop star Dougie ended this year.

Dougie is said to be struggling to get over Ellie, and is NOT happy that the singer seems to be moving on…and with someone as hot as Sam!

The singer has previously admitted she was determined to stay single after realising she was putting men before everything else in her life.

But that all seemed to go out the window when she saw Sam’s washboard abs.

We can’t blame her!
