Little Mix have definitely taken the music industry by storm and now it seems they are after the cosmetic industry.

The girls already have a cosmetic range, Little Mix by Collection, and are adding some pretty awesome items to it. Their new collection consists of moisturising lip balms with their favourite scents and shades so now you can look like the girls too … well sort of.

Talking about the lip gloss, Zayn Malik’s fiancé, said: “The lip balms were so much fun to create, mine is just shimmery as I have no sense of smell, whereas Jade’s is pink and comes in raspberry flavour which is as she is sweet as.”

They have also added a bumper eye shadow palette  with six neutral shades that Perrie is “super excited” about! She said: “’We wanted to create something the fans could use everyday, we love the eye palette and how versatile it is. It’s come in very handy on tour – it’s one product we can all use.

Their range already includes bronzer, blusher, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner and much more. With the range reflecting each of the girls’ personal styles: “bold like Jesy, vibrant like Jade, bronzed like Leigh-Anne and Daring like Perrie” you can rest assured that you will definitely find something for you!

Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again!

Not long after she insulted thousands of women around the world with her comments about motherhood, she has now likened dealing with online trolls to war.

The actress had this to say about online comments made about her: “You come across [online comments] about you and your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing. It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it.”

People on Twiiter have reacted angrily to her comments, especially those with loved ones serving in the army.

We have no doubt that dealing with online comments made about her is very difficult, but her words were an extremely poor choice.

Gwynnie, you really, really, need to know when saying nothing means you are saying much, much more.

You know the moment you hear that opening track to SATC, it’s gonna be a good day.

Here are some valid reasons why Carrie Bradshaw will always be the ultimate style and life icon:

1. She is unarguably, the Queen of Heels
She educated a generation of women to the simple principal of ‘ A Woman’s Right to Shoes,’ and played a hand in fostering what is now a deep love for Manolo’s.

Carrie Bradshaw Shoes2. She’s upfront about things
She tells it like it is, and you have just gotta admire a woman who has the balls to do that. Carrie we salute you!

Well Dont Be A Bitch

3. She’s not perfect
She shares all the same neurosis about men that we do, even if we haven’t quite stalked our other halves at mass with their Mammy’s yet. You never know, give us time.

4. She’s a classy lady
If we could wear a ballgown to McDonald’s, we totally would.

 5. She’s our relationship spirit guide
Yes, over the course of 6 seasons there were lots of men, and one or two re-run’s thrown in for good measure. However Carrie never settled, she never sold out, and she kept searching for her dream man until she finally found him.

Rumours are rife that Jennifer Lopez’s boyfriend, Casper Smart has gotten himself caught up in an x-rated images scandal.

Reports are saying that transgender model, Sofie Vissa, has been sending him naked photos of herself and he has been sending them back.

The model had been trying to sell the images of J-Lo’s boyfriend to The Dirty, but the deal fell through according to the editor, Nik Richie.

Though Casper and close sources to Jennifer are denying that any such images are in existence, it seems Sofie is still trying to sell the images.

Eek – we hope this isn’t true!

A new website wants to show that random hook-ups are not always such a bad thing!

Launched by sex researcher Zhana Vrangalova, The Casual Sex Project provides an outlet for people to anonymously chat about their sexual encounters and one-night stands.

“Hook-ups are so often presented as black or white, good or bad, but it isn’t this homogenous thing,” Dr Vrangalova said.

“There is such a plethora of activities, feelings, hopes and expectations, partner configurations and behaviors, outcomes, circumstances… I hope this project will help people see these nuances,” she added.

People of all ages, genders and sexual orientations are invited to share their hook-up stories on the website, sharing details like how it came about and whether or not they regret it.

Dr Vrangalova said that more often than not, the answer is no.

She is also working on a book and documentary about the lives of people who have slept with at least 1,000 people.

“I think it’d be absolutely fascinating to tell the life stories and put faces (not necessarily literally) to such a highly sexual lifestyle,” she said.

They have done an amazing job at keeping a low profile during their stay here in Ireland – but we knew we would catch up with them eventually!

Our friends over at Simply Zesty have been trailing the couple around town and have snapped some pretty epic shots!

Kim and Kanye were spotted having a great laugh on the popular Viking Tour (ya know, the one where people roar at you when they pass?) as well as going for a ride around Stephen’s Green in a horse and carriage. How romantic!

The highlight of the trip for Kanye seems to have been his shopping trip to Penneys. A sales assistant revealed how she overheard the rapper saying: “Its all so cheap! Howiz it all so cheap?!”

Unfortunately for the newlyweds, as they had not made a reservation, they were unable to get dinner at The Residence, opting instead for a roast in Coppers, as suggested by a helpful garda in the area.

Well, it certainly looks as though the couple had an amazing time during their stay in the capital!

Safe flight, lads! See ye next time!
