As women, a lot of us feel naturally obliged to share advice on beauty and make-up – especially when we hear about a tip that promises to “really work”. We all do it, let’s be honest. During my girly gossip sessions with friends, someone often comes up with the latest secret to getting flawless skin, or making your lips look as sexy as Angelina Jolie’s, but we never think to question the truth behind these myths. I’ve decided that enough is enough, and have looked into the science behind some of the most common rumours we hear about make-up to settle this once and for all. READ MORE

My Time at Zeno


By Emily Morrison

My first day at Zeno was always going to be slightly intimidating. Firstly, I had never navigated my way around the Underground before, and nor had I tried to navigate my way around London. Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting lost in either of these locations, but being unsure about the Underground stopped me from being nervous about my first day at work. There was no time to think about it, at least not until I arrived at the building half an hour early with very little idea about what to expect. This was my first real internship for a global company and I did not want to mess it up. READ MORE

If you’re reading this article it’s more than likely that you’re a student, and if you’re a student it’s more than likely that you have a lot of experience of being broke. We’ve all been there, the loans not stretched quite far enough and you’ve held up the queue at Tesco’s self service checkout paying for your bottle of value wine with change you’ve found lurking at the bottom of your handbag. Then comes the problem of having no money to replace your near-empty mascara, let alone anything else you use to get ready before a night out (and I’ve never seen someone pick body scrub over wine).Now, you can probably go and have a great time on a night out even if you went without showering and wearing pyjamas, but who doesn’t like a bit of pampering?...

One Direction’s ‘Take Me Home’ Tour: That’s What Makes Them Beautiful...

The other week, Twitter was a hive of activity, with ‘Directioners’ tweeting to mark the 1,000 days that One Direction has been a band. It seems unbelievable that it’s been that long: I remember so clearly when they were put together on the X Factor and now they are worldwide superstars. As I sit here writing this article, listening to their albums and with their calendar hanging on my wall, I cannot deny the fact that I’m a massive fan. Over Easter, my sister and I went to see one of the concerts of the ‘Take Me Home’ Tour at the 02 Arena, and believe me we were far from disappointed! So all you One Direction lovers (and even you haters) here is an account of the amazing show that I saw!...

Five Ways to Let Go

Letting go? What is it exactly? Is it good or is it bad? One thing I am sure of is that it is painful. You feel like it’s the worst thing that has ever happened to you. You feel as if every cell of your body is breaking down. You feel frustrated. But you really can't do anything about it. At least that’s how I was left feeling after my experience. Some people say it’s wise and mature, yet some people feel like they are giving up on the other person. READ MORE

Last month, an EU ban on the sale of cosmetics containing ingredients that are tested on animals came into effect. Since 2004 there has been a ban enforced on testing completed cosmetic products on animals, and in 2009 a second ban was implemented which focused on specific ingredients that cosmetics contain. However, after lobbying from cosmetics manufacturers, the deadline for the ban was extended to allow time for allergy tests. READ MORE
