We've all been there – your perfectly pitched, expertly worded tweet has been posted, and you're feeling suitably smug.

Alas! You then – horror of horrors – realise that you've made a terrible mistake: there's a word missing, a typo, or just plain factual inaccuracy that has ruined your otherwise flawless contribution to the internet.

And – unlike Facebook – Twitter doesn't allow you to edit your posts after they've been released into the Twittersphere. 

Still, Kim Kardashian is fighting our cause: this morning she publicly announced that she has now asked the social media giant to immediately tackle this important issue.

"I just emailed Twitter to see if they can add an edit feature so that when u misspell something u don't have to delete & repost Let's see…" she said.

It didn't take long for CEO Jack Dorsey to respond either.

"Great idea!" he wrote. "We're always looking at ways to make things faster and easier."

Last month, fashionista Ms Kardashian, 34, was left red-faced when she asked about a "Georgio" Armani foundation on Twitter.

The fashion powerhouse replied with information on the product – as well as a note on the correct spelling – Giorgio – of Mr Armani's name.

There is no indication yet as to when this much-longed for feature might be introduced – but you know who to thank if (and in all likelihood, when) it arrives.

We’re not entirely sure why were so surprised to hear this news. Considering that eyebrows have become a bit of a ‘thing’ in the fashion and beauty world, it was only a matter of time before a logical solution to sparse brows came along.

There are countless products and methods available to help you achieve fuller looking brows, darker brows, better arches and even lighter looking brows.

Some people though were just unfortunately caught up in the 90s trend of having no eyebrows whatsoever. Never forget: pencil brows. Other people just have thin brows, whatever the reason you can now ensure your brows at their highest fleek potential.

Let us introduce you to the fabulous, wonderful world of eyebrow extensions.

Founder of brow bar Wink, Umbreen Sheikh told Buzzfeed Life that the process can take “up to two and a half hours.”

Look at those results though, totally worth it.

Brow technicians (yes, those are a thing now), dip tiny synthetic hairs into skin-safe glue and then apply them individually to the skin. Amazing.

“People who have lost their eyebrows to alopecia, chemotherapy, and anxiety disorders come to us for extensions,” explains Sheikh. She did warn that the results may not last as long for people who have a tendancy to sweat a little more than usual, just FYI.

The results are incredible. Anyone who went a little too happy hands with the tweezer is in for a treat with these magic brows.

If you're always the one who insists on untagging group photos on Facebook, or has to take 6 million selfies before finding one in which your 'sexy pout' face doesn't look totally bizarre, then we may have found the solution.

Tyra Banks has already educated us all about the 'smize', in which you 'smile with your EYES, ladies', but there's a new type of pose doing the rounds… the squinch.

A variation on the squint (don't try that in photos), the squinch is the ultimate cure for that rabbit-caught-in-headlights stare that so many of us revert to in photographs. how to do it? Simply "lift and tighten your lower eyelids, and let the top ones come down just a fraction," according to photographer Peter Hurley.

Karlie Kloss is a squinching pro.. check out her before-and-after:

Cara Delevingne has it figured out too:

According to Peter, squinching is the perfect way to exude confidence on camera, without looking like you're trying to hard. He describes squinching as  the "action of squinting your eyes in such a way as to portray confidence and self-assurance as opposed to the fear and uncertainty that you project when you stare wide-eyed at the camera."

So next time you're getting ready for you're close up, squinch those eyes and prepare to take your best selfie yet. Tyra would be proud.

Excuse you but there is a new Disney princess in town and she also a personal friend of Queen Elsa of the smash-hit Frozen.

Kristen Bell, who was the voice of Anna in the animated success left a dream-come-true voicemail for one Frozen fan. Avery Huffman, 6, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), last month. This means Avery has a brain tumour which cannot be operated on.

Kristen got into full Princess of Arendale mode to speak with her young fan. She congratulated her for being “so brave” as she continues to fight her illness.

She also let Avery know that her sister Queen Elsa would love to make her an honorary princess.

You can watch the full video below- but be prepared to experience some very intense feels.

Avery’s parents are also chronicling their daughter’s battle with cancer by using the hashtag #AveryStrong where hundreds of Twitter users have been leaving their messages of support.

We've secretly had our hearts set on a Jen-and-Nick reunion since the former couple began work together on the latest X-Men instalment, but it seems it's time to put that dream to rest.

Jennifer and Nicholas, who dated for almost three years before splitting in 2014, had a dinner date last week that ended in disaster, according to one eyewitness. The pair were spotted getting some food together after their appearance at Comic Con, but the low-key meal soon turned into an all out argument.

"Jen was clearly upset with the topic of conversation," the source told Star magazine. "She angrily threw her hands up in the air as she yelled at Nick. Next thing you know, he starts screaming too. It was quite a heated argument."

Hunger Games star Jennifer reportedly walked out on her ex, leaving him alone in the San Diego eatery. Awks.

The tense situation has no doubt been made all the more stressful considering J-Law and Nicholas have to spend huge amounts of time together on the set of X-Men in Montreal, Canada.

The upcoming X-Men: Apocalpyse, which Jennifer has confirmed will be her last film for the franchise, focuses a lot on the relationship between the former couple's characters, Mystique and Beast.

Reports earlier this year suggested that a lovestruck Nick was "determined" to win his ex back during filming, but it doesn't look like things have gone to plan. With Jennifer still rumoured to be dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Nicholas might need to look elsewhere for love…

“Let me just put on eyeliner and then we can leave- oh wait…”

Nope, no eyeliner for you today, or mascara, or blusher or concealer for that matter. The unthinkable has happened: You lost your makeup bag.

Commence complete meltdown. It happens, whether you’re a cosmetic junkie or you’re just out here trying to have a good time with a great contour, it can happen to you. There is nothing worse than the frantic scramble you do when you realise your beloved makeup bag is missing.

It can be an emotionally draining experience, we feel your pain.

First there's the panic:

Then there's accepting meaningless sympathies from your friends:

"Thanks Emily but you're NW25 and I'm NW30." Wtf Emily? Get it together gal.

So you try some quick DIY tricks, it works for internet people, right?

"BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE WHERE IS MY SMOKY EYE PALETTE"

So you just have to admit defeat

You will get through this, we believe in you! Stay strong and hey, now you can re-stock your make-up collection, hurrah!

In 2009 Jenelle Evans was supposed to enter her senior year of high school. Instead, her life was turned upside down when she became one of MTV’s most famous Teen Moms. After a troubled history of domestic abuse claims, drug related charges and some questionable relationships people wondered if Janelle would ever be able to get back to a more normal life.

However, today the 23-year old was happy to share the news that she became a college graduate.

 

A photo posted by Jenelle Evans (@j_evans8209) on

“Sexy and successful,” she captioned a photo on her Instagram where she poses in her bright blue cap and gown.

The Teen Mom 2 star, and mom to sons Jace,5, and Kaiser,1, is currently engaged to fiancé Nathan Grifith. However, despite plans to marry sometime in the future the pair have had a rocky relationship in recent times.

 

Thanks to my family for being here as my biggest support system and able to push me through it !!!

Their public spats have caused Janelle’s mom, who has custody of her son Jace, to restrict the amount of time he spends with Janelle. In a recent Facebook Q&A the reality TV star explained:

“She's concerned about Nathan and I… Our relationship will never be perfect but we do love each other and take things day by day.”

She also admitted she doesn’t think her mom, Barbara, will ever fully accept her relationship with Nathan, telling her fans, “I honestly don't think she would ever agree,” when asked about Barbara’s opinion on their impending marriage.

Today though, Janelle seemed more focused on her recent achievements and her future career. She also acknowledged how much her mom has helped her get through in the last number of years and the pair were all smiles for Janelle's big day.

She told her followers: “If i have been through all I did today and still can go back to school and graduate… SO CAN U! I did it !!!!!”

Congratulations Janelle!

Why does it always seem that the second you put on something white, you instantly become five times more clumsy? Be it a smear of foundation, a drop of wine or a splash of coffee, sometimes we feel like the clothing gods are just out to have a laugh at our expense.

UK clothing company Reality Dreams has finally come to the rescue with a range of pieces specially designed with the spill-prone fashionista in mind. It's not just the edgy designs on their tees, sweaters and hoodies that are getting this new label a whole lot of attention, but the fact that every item on sale has the ability to repel liquid, effectively preventing stains.

If it sounds to good to be true, check out the visual proof, in which a very brave model pours ketchup, beer and Pepsi all over his Reality Dream sweater before rinsing the whole thing off with a splash of water.

The label's creators,  Matt Doughty and Steven Stokes, say there's no need to wipe or dab the stain, simply wash it away with water, shake the remaining droplets off and you're done.  

In order to make each garment stain-proof while not affecting the feel of the fabric, the designers apply a 'hydrophobic coating' to each fibre, helping it to repel stains and also keeping the garment protected from UV rays.

The hydrophobic technology was originally developed for the construction industry to remove dampness in wood and concrete, but Matt says his lightbulb moment came about when a family member told him that a new strain had been developed which worked on fabrics too. "We tracked them down and set to work trialing it with T-shirts," he told the Daily Mail.

The brand is mainly menswear, but around half the products are listed as 'unisex', like these tees:

Prices start at around £35 (€50) for a tee, but Reality Dreams are currently running an online sale with many items available for £19.99 (€28). However an application of hydrophobic coating will set you back another £15 (€21). 

Not cheap, but we're VERY tempted…

In case you were not aware, Tom Cruise is not just an A-list Hollywood actor, he’s also a devout member of the church of Scientology.

In a new tell-all interview, one former Scientologist has come forward with some shocking insight into the goings-on of the church. One very intriguing he claim he makes is that Tom Cruise kicked his own niece out their family and sent her across the country to do “penance” for her sin.

The sin in question? Kissing a boy. She was a 14-year old at the time.

Radar Online reports the former member who has come forward is Nick Lister who has been banned from Scientology. Nick describes how 10 years ago he came to know Tom’s niece, Jamie, when he worked as a teaching assistant at Scientology’s school in Clearwater, Florida.

Nick says the two were “really, really good friends” and he noticed “she was always just very upset”.

In the interview Nick, now 27, explains: “One night she breaks down, crying, she had talked to her mom earlier that day and she said, ‘I really want to be back with the family.'”

Nick Lister reveals the family's troubled past

Unfortunately her mom was not in a forgiving mood, Nick added: “I think she had seen her mom once in two years.”

Jamie had to “petition” to her family to allow her to move back home, but her uncle Tom rejected her several times.

Nick explained her offence, saying:

“She made out with a boy on Tom Cruise’s property…  It was caught by the cameras. Security all Scientologists — if you don’t believe me, ask Katie Holmes — they reported to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise decides it’s unbecoming…for a Scientologist in his family to do such a thing and he kept her from family functions”

He continued that it wasn’t the decision of the church to send Jamie away from her family:

 “The Church did not say, ‘We don’t like what Jamie did.’ Tom Cruise didn’t like what Jamie did. He called the shots on it. He made the decision on behalf of his sister, or disregarding his sister, to take her daughter away from her.”

Tom isn't the only famous face to be linked to the Scientology religion, recently Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon gave a detailed interview with Celebrity Magazine. That is the publication of choice for celebrity Scientologists according to Gawker.

Not too long ago, we were getting ourselves all excited about the new beauty product must-have that was going to be responsible for changing up our make up entirely.

Gone be with the days of tiny thin make up sponges soaking up all our foundation and leaving us with streaks everywhere.

Yes, a brand-new type of egg-shaped sponge is perfect for all of our blending, strobing, baking and contouring needs. We LOVE them.

What we weren’t loving was the price tag some of them were coming with. There’s only so many times we can extend the beauty budget, people!

Luckily for us, we found not one but two perfect sponges to lust after AND that don’t cost and arm and a leg. Reasonably priced and super effective, we will take one of each please and thank you.

Sponges are best used when damp. So run a clean one under the tap and squeeze out any excess before you start. Dot your foundation or concealer on your face and then use the sponge to blend. Simples.

The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is perfect for getting all your best angles. The rounded edges work to effortlessly blend your foundation onto large areas without wasting time. The flat side works for blending and patting product into harder to manage areas like under the eyes and around the nose.

Meanwhile, you also have the Blank Canvas Airbrush Blender Sponge, a firm favourite not just for its beautifying prowess but also the range of colours. Who doesn’t love when their shoes make their makeup sponge?

The sponge is latex free and the pointed edge makes it perfect for dealing with your concealer before you start applying your foundation. Flawless finish every time. 

The sponges both come with their own sealed containers so you can make sure they don’t end up rolling around in your bag and gathering and left over lunch crumbs (nasty).

You can check out both of these sponges on Cloud10Beauty.com along with a huge range of other products for all your beauty needs and wants. They also offer free delivery in Ireland on certain orders.

What a great way to end the week for anyone who is a Celiac Disease sufferer, or any people who are averse to gluten in all of its glory.

Scientists are developing a simple little remedy that will allow the unlucky bunch to eat gluten. Yay! Plates of spaghetti for everyone.

At team of scientists and researchers at the University of Alberta have apparently come up with a solution to the devastating foodie issue.

According to Quartz they have discovered a supplement from chicken egg yolks that stops the absorption of gliadin. For anyone who does not have a food science background that is apparently the part of gluten that Celiac sufferers can’t digest.

“This supplement binds with gluten in the stomach and help to neutralize it, therefore providing defence [sic] to the small intestine, limiting the damage gliadin causes,” said Hoon Sunwoo, who worked on the project.

The team are due to start trials soon and they are hoping to have the supplement available to the public in the next few years.

It is going to make things a little awkward for those people who viewed Celiac disease as more of trend than anything else.

You know the ones, they can’t even smell gluten without launching into an anti-gluten protest and yet, they are right beside you on Sunday when you’re feeling a touch fragile and ordering a large carbonara at two o’clock in the afternoon.

However, the important thing to remember here is that anyone who is both Celiac and an avid pizza lover will now soon be able to indulge in the joyful combination of eating pizza and not dying. This calls for a pizza-pasta party, yes?

She was at the receiving end of cruel internet taunts earlier this year when images of her in a bikini in Mexico surfaced.

Still, Selena Gomez is rightly proud of her figure – and has always steadfastly refused to let petty criticisms relating to her appearance get her down.

Indeed, one Instagram snap that Ms Gomez posted around that time of her Mexican jaunt included the defiant caption: "I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove".

The snap later garnered some 1.5million likes from her fans.

And this week, when asked to rate her hotness on a scale of one to ten, the singer remained refreshingly confident.

“I would say on a premiere day, I would be a good nine," Ms Gomez, who also celebrated her 23rd birthday on Wednesday, mused on Boston 103.3’s TJ Show.

Although she went on to admit that, much like the rest of us, she has her off days too.

"And then on my every day I feel like a six,” she explained, before quickly adding: “Gosh that sounds so bad. I feel like a six or a seven.”

In the end, Selena and the hosts settled that she was a spectacular 9.75.

We couldn’t agree more.
