TikTok Viral Beauty Trends
The Glazed Doughnut Chocolate Nails
Hailey Bieber’s glazed doughnut nails were one of the summer’s biggest trends and show no sign of slowing down; she has now upgraded to chocolate-glazed donut nails just in time for autumn.

Oval-Lining
TikTokker and journalist, Jacqueline Kilikita, is pushing aside over-lining lips for ovaling. Oval-lining involves drawing a circle in the centre of your lips to create a more full and plumped effect.

Lip Slugging
We explored the new TikTok trend, Lip Slugging in the latest edition of Trend & Tested. Lip Slugging involves applying two formulas to your lips to help with dryness and smooth cracks and rough texture. The first layer is a healing cream and the second is a nourishing balm.

A Marilyn Moment
Marilyn Monroe has been a source of inspiration for the beauty and fashion industry for the last few decades and she continues to be even today. From celebrities like Kim Kardashian delving into dress archives, the recent release of Netflix’s documentaries, and biopics like Blonde to whole fashion lines dedicated to her memory; we are all still fascinated by Marilyn.
The Salvatore Ferragamo show in Milan was inspired in part by the famous crystal-encrusted Ferragamo red shoes made for Marilyn Monroe in 1959. With sparkly red lights as a tribute to the iconic glittering red heels throughout his spring show in Milan…
