Make-up brushes are expensive so rather than forking out a fortune on ones that you may never need, here is the ultimate guide to the brushes that you should have in your bag.

Foundation brush
This is perfect for applying cream or liquid foundation to create a flawless finish.

Powder brush
This is a must-have item and is important to set your foundation. Invest in a good one that won’t leave bristles on your face.

Blush brush
Your make-up is not complete until you have blended in your blush. This brush helps to define and contour and pick up the blush powder.

Concealer brush
If you are prone to blemishes such as scars, dark circles, broken capillaries or spots, this brush will help you to hide them.

Blending brush
This is essential for blending eyeshadow and is great for softening and smudging.

Contouring brush
Not an absolute necessity but it is pretty useful for sculpting and lifting your cheek bones, enhancing the brow line and narrowing your face.

Another version of Beyoncé’s Grown Woman has been leaked online today.

The alternative video which is a little bit cartoonier than the original and even seems to have an 80’s vibe to it.

Who doesn’t love a crispy, sweet and warm pain au chocolat with their afternoon coffee? It’s perfection.

These are deceptively easy to make with only three ingredients.

What you’ll need:

  • 1 sheet of thawed puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 handfuls of chocolate chips or spread
  • Flaked almonds (optional)

What you’ll need to do:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the puff pastry into 6 squares, or 4 if you prefer bigger pastries.
  3. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
  4. Add the chips or spread to the middle of the pastry and fold the sides on top of the middle to seal the chocolate filling.
  5. Brush the outside of the pastries once sealed.
  6. If using, sprinkle the almonds on top now.
  7. Bake in the oven for 20 mins or until golden and crisp.
  8. Lightly dust with icing sugar.

It seems those engagement rumours might be just true, as Johnny Depp was spotted wearing what look like a diamond engagement ring at a press conference today in Beijing.

When the actor was questioned on whether he was engaged to Amber Heard, the actor laughed saying: “The fact that I’m wearing a chick’s ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway. Not very subtle.”

Depp went then to lift up his left hand and displayed a single diamond on a band around his ring finger.

Well that settles that. The engaged couple are also starring together alongside Kevin Costner in the film, 3 Days to Kill.

X Factor winner, James Arthur is at it again on Twitter and this time he’s decided to have a go at his boss, Simon Cowell.

The singer was responding to reports that he is featured in the musical, I Can’t Sing which is based on Simon Cowell’s role as a judge on X Factor.

James went onto to tweet an article claiming the musical was based on him saying: “@SimonCowell I should ‘shut up and put out records’ or else this?”

The Recovery singer then went onto tweet about how he expected the media would react to his latest tweet: “Cue more media bullying.”

It isn’t the first time James has took to Twitter to lash out but he might want to take it easy on Simon since he’s singed up  to Cowell’s label, Syco Music.

Having a fight with your best friend can be really hard for you both.

Whether it was yesterday or last year, if you still want to keep that friendship there are some things you can do.

You’ll be back to watching America’s Next Top Model in onesies eating cereal from the box together in no time!

1. Forgive and forget
There is no point in attempting to heal a friendship if you are still angry and resentful. If you accept the apology, you need to mean it. Make sure you actually want this friendship before you go ahead.

2. Apologise
If you are in the wrong, apologise.

3. Break the ice
Don’t bombard her by appearing on her doorstep, she might still be mad. Instead, choose a form of communication she can get back to you when she is ready. Email, text, Facebook message etc.

4. Start slow
If the fight was particularly nasty with one side hurt, take things slow. Go for a coffee once a week and try not to address the situation if it has already been resolved. Don’t drag it out more than needs be.

5. Give her space
This might be hard to accept but perhaps she has decided she doesn’t want to be your friend anymore. You need to respect any decision she makes as if it were your own.

Lindsay Lohan has taken up pole dancing in her bid to stay sober and not revert to her partying ways.

To keep herself occupied during her ongoing rehabilitation, the Mean Girls actress has taken to spinning around the pole, which she says is “empowering”.

The actress showed off her moves in the latest episode of her reality show Lindsay which follows her rehabilitation, backed by chat show legend Oprah.

The 27-year-old, who completed a 90-day stint in rehab last summer as part of plea deal with police, has previously struggled with alcohol and substance abuse.

In the documentary, she admits, “I’m sober but I’ve been very close [to relapsing]. It’s come very close and it’s really scary.”

Talking about her new hobby, Lindsay said, “It’s actually a really good workout. It’s really empowering for women to get to know your body and yourself”

“I like doing that kind of workout and I sweat more doing that than I do doing yoga, or getting on a treadmill, or anything else.”

You possibly intended for it to be an isolated shift but suddenly one text message turns into three and before you know it you are leaving a toothbrush in their bathroom and spooning them every second night.

As far as you’re concerned it is an unofficial thing that is only a bit of fun, but there is a line and when it is crossed you are heading for one place and one place only. Couplesville. How do you know you are in such a place? Here are some signs that prove you are no longer a single pringle and in fact have a boyfriend/girlfriend you didn’t really know about.

1: You wear his clothes.

Officially in relationship

We don’t mean in a ‘walk of shame’ way – it’s okay if you borrow  his jumper then. Irish weather and a ten minute walk home justifies wearing his Jack Wills hoodie, but sitting around in his bedroom wearing his hoodie even though you have your own clothes may elude to the fact that this dude is more than a friend.

2: You spend actual time with each other

Hanging-Out-And-Going-Out-These-Days-Pineapple-Express

Both of you do stuff together that does not revolve around sex. Cinema dates, going for coffee or just binge watching your favourite TV show highlight that there is quite possibly more happening than just friends with benefits.

3: You have no idea when you were last on Tinder

officially in relationship

Quite frankly you couldn’t care less who you’re matched with or what creepy message they have left in your inbox. Guess why? Because you already have your match (for now anyway) so Tinder is rendered useless.

4: The text messages are less dirty and more sentimental

officially in relationship

If you are physically attracted to someone but emotionally not attached then the likelihood is that your messages will be of the sexting genre. However as soon as the messages come  filled with care and concern about how your day went or that assignment you had to hand up then it is time to accept that you are on your way to attachment city.

 5: You sleep together without actually ‘sleeping together’

Sex_and_the_City;_Refusing_sex;_Shoulder_kiss;_I_can't_tonight;_Chlamydia;_STD;_Sexually_Transmitted_Diseases

Yes, you stay over sometimes. Yes, you spoon each other and no, you don’t always have to have sex. Sounds like a healthy R E L A T I O N S H I P to us.

6: You can’t remember the last person you shifted who wasn’t them

ross-and-rachel-first-kiss

Was it that dude from Coppers, was it  that girl at that weird New Year’s Eve party you went to? Either way, apart from the chance of getting with Johnny Depp or his female equivalent on your next night out, you are both pretty content shifting each other. Nawwww.

 7: You have your own side in his bed.

officially in relationship

Not only do you have your own side in his bed, but also a spare toothbrush in bathroom, and some makeup removal stuff. Two words: domestic bliss.

8: You can kiss each other without presuming it will lead somewhere else

If you are kissing someone to be affectionate while watching the latest episode of Game of Thrones then you have entered another ball game completely.

Supermodel Miranda Kerr is ready to “explore” her attraction to both men and women following her split from actor hubby Orlando Bloom.

The Victoria’s Secret model ended her marriage to the Pirates of the Caribbean actor last year and said she is now open to see where single life takes her.

The 30-year-old Australian said, “I appreciate both men and women”

“I want to explore. Never say never,” she added.

Miranda said she has been on a string of dates since her marriage break-up but admitted her sex life had quietened down leaving her less “toned” due to the lack of bedroom workouts.

The pair have three-year-old son Flynn together and say they remain friends.

“It’s so important, we will be family forever and we both really love and respect each other. We’re really good; we got along better than ever. It’s so great,” said Miranda.
