*Competition closed – Congrats to Lauren Nic Eoin*

 

Getting dolled up for a night out is half the fun, but when you're getting ready on your own and have to tan your back, it becomes a struggle. Ugh.

For years we have tried different hacks, including putting a tanning mit on a clothes hanger and trying to reach around and even getting our partners to put it on (which never turns out too well).

But now, Cocoa Brown tan has created a new tanning mit which will come in fairly handy on your next night out and it could be yours.

If you think this sounds oh-so-great, then you need to be in it to win it. Just head over to our Facebook or Instagram page to enter. Good luck, ladies!

We all know what it’s like to spend the night laboriously putting tan on, only to wake up the next day to find our bedsheets have been completely destroyed.

Well, the tanning gods have finally answered our prayers with a fake-tan-proof onesie.

The ‘Tansie’ – which was created by spray tan artist Cathy Hedley – is doubly effective as it protects your bedsheets from your tan while ensuring your tan stays picture perfect.

The product's creator told Daily Mail Australia that she would cringe to see her clients putting tight clothes on over their fresh spray tans.

So to solve the issue she created a loosely-fitted spray tan dress and the Tansie.

This special onesie zips up the front, is lined with leopard print and is made of a lightweight material to ensure you don't overheat while your tan is baking.

Sounds like everything you'd want in a onesie. We'll take about ten, thanks.

Let's be honest, we're all pretty delighted that comfort in fashion is making a huge comeback.

Gone are the days of ill-fitting tops and sore heels. Now, we're welcoming all the comfy clothes and shoes into our lives – because we all know that if we feel uncomfortable, we just look weird AF walking around.

Life Style Sports has just introduced its new season Trainer Central collection – right on time for updating your summer ‘shoedrobes’. The collection features comfy yet stylish runners from all of our favourite sports fashion brands such as Nike, Adidas, Converse, New Balance, Puma and Van’s. Hurrah!

And if you're unsure about what would suit you, the store has every runner and trainer style imaginable for this upcoming high summer season. Their new campaign focuses on four fashion looks  – Trend, Original Classics, Terrace and Look of Running – as part of the Sports Born, Street Worn fashion ethos at their HQ.
 
The Sports Born, Street Worn campaign highlights the key fashion trends for the ever-popular leisure wear, which celebrates the authenticity and heritage of sports fashion. 

Life Style Sports has always been at the top when it comes to sports fashion and trends and they totally recognises that the humble runner is now a total wardrobe staple for many women.

We think the Athleisure trend is only going to get bigger from here. (YAAAS!)

Ahh the noughties – when you went to the hairdresser actually looking for stripey highlights and coloured velour tracksuits were literally everything.

If you've always fancied looking like Kim Kardashian back when she was Paris Hilton's assistant, listen up –  the legendary Juicy Couture tracksuits are back.

The brand – which closed its US stores in 2014 – is teaming up with famed department store Bloomingdale's to relaunch its formerly coveted velour tracksuits as part of the #TrackIsBack campaign. 

The limited designer capsule collection will come in seven different colours – one for every day of the week? – and there'll even be a choice of fit or flare leg.

The collection will be available both in Bloomies and online from July.

All you need now is a pair of Ugg boots and a handbag-loving chihuahua.

In today's Ireland, dating abuse is something that's known but rarely discussed – a silence we at SHEmazing! want to shatter.

Between looking at real life examples and making women more aware of the help they can get, we want more and more girls to feel safe in their relationships and speak out if they feel that something is wrong.

Take the 2in2u relationship quiz here, to find out if his actions are actually NOT OK.

To raise awareness of the issue of dating abuse and to raise funds for Women's Aid, we have decided to host a music gig in The Sugar Club on Wednesday July 6, where Róisín O will headline, and more special guests to be announced. If you'd like to support us on the night, you can get your tickets here now.

If you have been affected by dating abuse and would like to share your story to help others please email us at hello@shemazing.ie.

He's making waves over in America with his presidential election campaign, and now the man himself, Donald Trump, is coming to Ireland.

The millionaire revealed last night that he's going to make his way to the resort that he owns in Doonbeg, after he takes a trip to Scotland.

"After @TrumpScotland, I will visit @TrumpDoonbeg in Ireland, the magnificant resort fronting on the Atlantic Ocean," he wrote.

Most recently, Xpose star Glenda Gilson held her weekend wedding there back in 2014, with the five star resort boasting a luxury hotel, a golf course and a spa.

We doubt he's going to meet up with Taoiseach Enda Kenny though, after Enda called him "racist and dangerous" in the Dáil this week. Ooops.

Will you go out to see the man himself?

The Script have been enjoying some well-needed time off, but we'll be honest, we were missing their tracks popping up on the charts.

Well, we won't have to wait much longer as the band have announced that they're back in the studio and ready to record a new album. Hurrah!

The last album they released was nearly two years ago, back in September 2014, and it reached number one across the UK and Ireland.

Guitarist Mark Sheehan announced the great news on Instagram yesterday, with a picture of the boys setting up behind him.

 

Back in studio! Guitars on my mind all the time! Big love. M

It’s been a hectic few days in Hollywood but few people have been the centre of as much speculation as singer Taylor Swift and her recent ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris.

Since the news broke earlier this week that the pair have ended their 15 month relationship, multiple theories have surfaced online attempting to explain what could have happened between the pair.

But the Scottish DJ took to Twitter last night to put those rumours to bed, writing: “The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect.”  Awh!

The tweet was then retweeted by Taylor herself.

Multiple sources have told E! News that the former couple’s relationship had lost its spark and that their breakup didn’t come as any big surprise to those close to the stars.

One said: “Taylor and Adam had no big blowout fight, but the romance just was not there anymore for them.  Adam is the one that ended it.  It was all done in a very mature fashion.”

Taylor – who is said to be “pretty upset” about the breakup – has turned newly single BFF Gigi Hadid for comfort.

At least the girls will always have each other.

If Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris breaking up wasn't bad enough, now Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have called time on their relationship.

The pair have been dating for about 7 months now, and to be honest, we really thought these two would go the distance.

The reason behind their split is still unknown but a source tells E! News that they have been going through a rough patch for the past couple of weeks. 

"During her birthday they were fighting," the insider said, adding that they have "broken up and got back together a few times."

Let's hope they can work everything out.

Ireland’s only Victoria Secret Angel Stella Maxwell has officially been named Maxim magazine’s hottest woman for 2016.

The 25-year-old – whose parents are from Northern Ireland – took to Instagram yesterday to share a photo of the winning cover shoot with her 1.7m followers and, judging by the pic, we don't think anyone will be left wondering why she's been crowned the World's Most Beautiful Woman.

Stella’s interview with Maxim also reveals that as well as being blessed in the looks department, Stella – who has modelled for Moschino, Marc Jacobs and Kardashian favourite Balmain – also has a seriously positive outlook on life.

She told the lad’s mag: “I believe that thinking positively and envisioning the best possible outcome can add to your achievements.  It doesn’t always work out, but if I visualise myself getting what I want, it can happen.  Positivity helps with everything in life.”

The blonde – who previously dated Miley Cyrus – also revealed that she wasn’t always the beauty she is today.

She said: “I think those of us who have found success grew into ourselves in our 20s…I know I was not the hottest chick at school!  We peaked a little later than the other girls.”

Sounds like there’s hope for us all.
