We're officially into autumn, and with it comes the traditional flurry of scarf shopping, dark mornings, and pumpkin spice everything. 

While we're sipping pretty on our PS Lattes, we also want to be looking pretty and make an A/W statement with our makeup this season – so imagine our delight when we stumbled across the Pumpkin Spice Palette. 

The eyeshadow palette has 12 shades, a mix of matte and shimmer, that are ideal for this time of year.

With shade names like Shimmering Persimmon and Red Maple Matte, it's a very seasonal palette. 

'The Pumpkin Spice Palette is here and it’s anything but basic,' reads the description.

'Create a sultry, cinnamon and spice look that will give you all the Fall feels.'

The palette is the creation of beauty influencer Aimee Rauseo, otherwise known as Peachy Queen Blog. 

Best of all, the palette is pretty damn affordable, coming in at €29.50 for the 12 statement shades. 

We'll be blending that shimmery lilac into our night-out smoky eye long after autumn is over.

'When I first came up with the idea to create Happy Magazine, my vision for it was to be an inspiring and positive cancer support magazine that was available for free at every cancer treatment centre in Ireland. I had no idea how to make that happen but I quickly felt that I was the person to do it,' Holly wrote, in a Happy Magazine post from July 2018.  

'This vision has been my driving force ever since.'

'This website has become a passion project that has continually inspired me and helped me enormously through my own treatment, it has also spurred me on to make small but meaningful positive changes in my life.'

The magazine will be available across the country in cancer treatment centres.

Kylie Minogue has announced that she won't be taking to the stage in both Dublin and Belfast tonight and tomorrow as part of her Golden Tour and our hearts are broken.

The pop legend was due to perform at Dublin’s 3Arena tonight and Belfast’s SSE Arena tomorrow night, although she has now bowed out of both performances due to a throat infection.

Kylieeeee.

She took to Twitter to let her fans know the bad news writing,  “I’m so sorry to let you know that I can’t do tonight’s Dublin or tomorrow’s Belfast shows.''

She continued, 'I’ve been treating everything possible to be well enough to perform for you but a throat infection has led to vocal strain.”

Although, the good news is that she is working out rescheduling the dates.

“I promise I’ll be back as soon as possible and at 100%. (The Guinness will be on me!). We’re working on rescheduling and more details will follow. I’m so, so sorry to let you down and thank you for understanding.''

Fans were quick to offer their well wishes and tell Kylie not to be in a hurry back.

One wrote, ''health is more important just please make sure you are ok before you come back to DUBLIN and Belfast hope you get better soon.''

While another said, ''Kylie you're not letting anyone down get well soon we love you millions.''

Feel better soon, we love ya.

The Notorious has broken his silence in the wake of violent and ugly scenes in La Vegas after he was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Conor went head to head with the Russian lightweight champion at UFC 229, with Khabib coming out victorious.

However after the fight, Khabib's pals launched an attack on Conor that resulted in violent scenes.

Now Conor has announced that he's set for a rematch, tweeting, ''good knock. Looking forward to the rematch.”

His coach John Kavanagh showed his support by retweeting the message and saying, 'another historical night. Amazing atmosphere, technical fight with excitement all the way thru. Shame about the ending. On to the next one.”

Khabib has offered his apologies for his part in instigating the fight following his defeat of Conor.

He said, ''first of all I want to say sorry to Nevada Athletic Commission and second to Vegas. I know this is not my best side. I’m a human being.''

He continued, ''this is a respectful sport, not a trash-talking sport. I want to change the game, you cannot talk about religion, about nationality.”

After this massive UFC event ended in tears and UFC President  Dana White was just as shocked and appalled by what went down as we were.

He revealed that Khabib's paycheck was being withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and that three potential members of the fighter’s team had been arrested.

Dana would not confirm if Khabib would hold on to his 155lb crown.

He said, ''it's not 100% certain. We’re regulated by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. They’re going to go after Khabib. The governor was here and he ran out of the building.''

Let's all watch this space…

Robbie Williams and Ayda Fields recently welcomed their third child into the world and she's absolutely adorable.

Little Coco has been “the most chill baby”, said Robbie, and her siblings love having a baby sister around.

At first, they were worried how their two kids, six-year-old Teddy and three-year-old Charlie, would adjust to the new addition.

But their concerns soon faded when their children showed how much they enjoyed spending time with the darling baby.

Teddy has formed a special attachment with her little sister, taking care of her as often as she can.

One of the six-year-old’s favourite activities is pretending to be Coco’s mother.

“Teddy wants to feed her all the time and cuddle her all the time, and we keep waiting for her to be a nightmare,” Robbie told The Mirror.

“But so far she hasn't done anything other than sleep, drink and occasionally smile and then get confused about what she’s doing.”

“All she’s up to right now is being adorable and not giving us any hassle whatsoever.”

There is nothing stronger than sisterhood, and we’re glad to see that Teddy and Coco get to cherish their relationship far into the future.

Tommy Hilfiger’s new Icons collections is seriously stunning.

Falling back on its iconic colours of navy, red, and white, the brand has created a new line that is classic Tommy with an autumn twist.

Icons features a range of gorgeous coats and Christmasy jumpers.

How fab is this gold, puffy jacket?!

The latest trend for the new season is all about symmetry. Tommy’s collared crop-tops and knitted pullovers feature stripes in various thicknesses, creating the perfect balance of pattern.

Even this pair of denim jeans have a striking white line down each side rendering them perfect for dressing up any solid-coloured ensemble.

We love these smooth, black combat boots accented with the brand’s colourful combination.

And the red laces on these hiking boots transform them into a must-have.

This season is all about oversized, fleece pieces with a unique accent, which is why this baby blue jumper with a warm collar is the perfect back-to-college piece.

If you are looking for a practical, winter coat, this tan topcoat will keep you warm and stylish simultaneously. It was the talk of the collection and we can see why.

The tie around sash accentuates your waist in the best way and it’s the perfect shade of beige to match every outfit.

Make sure to stop by the Tommy Hilfiger store on Grafton Street to check it out and pick out one of your favourite pieces to take home.

Some of our childhood Disney favourites are being remade into live action films and we can’t wait to see them.

But how much longer must we anticipate the release of these classic movies?

Here are the most recent dates announced for a few of our favourite films.

1. The Lion King

The movie is returning to the big screens on July 19, 2019, and the cast looks incredible.

From the same director of the live action Jungle Book Jon Favreau, the film will star Donald Glover as Simba, Beyonce as Naala, and, of course, James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

2. Aladdin

On May 24, 2019, the live-action version of Aladdin will be in cinemas.

Will Smith has confirmed his role as The Genie, quite fittingly, while Mena Massoud will play Aladdin and Naomi Scott will star as Jasmine.

3. Frozen 2

Unfortunately, we have to wait over a year for Frozen to be released on November 27, 2019, but Disney promises it will be worth the wait.

Although nothing is known about the plot of the film, the original main cast has confirmed its return.

4. Toy Story

Toy Story 4 will be in theatres on June 21, 2019. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will be returning to voice their iconic roles as Woody and Buzz.

The sequel will also feature a love story between Woody and Little Bo Peep.

Even though it’s a while longer until their release dates, next year has a great lineup for Disney films.

And we are excited to relive these magical adventures.
