We love Taylor Swift for the star she is and now there is another Swift to lookout for. Presenting (drum rolls in the background) Austin Swift, Tay’s younger brother who is all set to be a Hollywood star. Considering the over-achieving genes that run in the family, we can’t wait to see more of this man.
Taylor Swift Instagrammed a picture of him recently with the caption “My brother @AustinKingsleySwift just acted in his first movie and I’m all proud and stuff” and it seems that the good looks run in the family. Take a look.
Although there isn’t a lot of information available for now but we can tell you that he will appear in a revenge thriller titled I.T.
Rumour also has it that the movie will star Pierce Brosnan who plays a successful owner of a private jet business and finds himself pitted against an angry young I.T. consultant. The movie will also reportedly star Disney Channel’s star Stefanie Scott.
Have you ever had that moment when you’re walking down the aisle of your favourite makeup store and you come across new abbreviations that don’t make sense? We’ve had them too. And after decoding almost a new one every week, the latest one thrown at us was the DD cream.
What does DD stand for?
DD stands for mostly a “Dynamic Do-All” but sometimes also “Dermatologically Defining” and “Daily Defense”. The names are different for different brands but the function essentially remains the same. This product is like a lovechild of BB and CC creams put together that provides more coverage and anti-ageing benefits. Find out more about BB and CC creams here.
So think about this, it offers all the features of BB cream including priming, moisturising, SPF and those of a CC cream like colour correction along with anti-ageing properties like reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Does it sound like a miracle product to you? It sure does to us!
Where do I get DD creams?
Brands like Julep, DERMAdoctor, Ofra and Pur Minerals offer DD creams that may be available online for you to purchase or at a Sephora store.
If you want to understand the difference between BB, CC and DD creams; you must watch this video by Asian Beauty Secretsthat perfectly explains it all.
There are some things we humans can never figure out in life and yes, figuring out the sex of a person just by touching their butts (when blindfolded) is definitely one of them!
Distractify.com recently came up with a video that nails the above fact perfectly! Yes, a bunch of men and women were asked to identify each other’s gender blindfolded – BY TOUCHING THEIR A**ES!
That’s something ridiculously amazing isn’t it? Take a look!
Watches are a very important part of a man’s lifestyle. They’re classy, cool and they also show you what time it is! How awesome is that? But, there are men out there who think watches don’t suit them, let us tell you one thing, you’re wrong. For every wrist, there’s a watch. You just need to find the right one and with that you need to know this is how you pull off a watch!
#1 The everyday watch
To start with the everyday watch; this one you can wear when heading out with your friends, running errands, at work and more. The watch should be subtle and durable, of course. It can be in stainless steel, rubber or even plastic and a colour that goes with most of your clothes for instance a blue or a black.
Formal ones are for events, dinners, parties and other exclusive gatherings you might have to attend. They should go well with your outfit. It’s perfect if it’s in gold, silver or any other metal. Your watch should match your other jewellery too for example, gold watch would be perfect with gold cufflinks. Analogue display with diameter of 1.6 inches, that’s how it should be.
Going for a hike, a run in the woods, gym and whichever sports you’re into and you have a thing for watches? Great, get a sports watch and half of your problems go to rest right there. You’ll have a compass, it can measure the depth, speed and with the included features it already has for you, you can easily, without any problems enjoy your workout. Sports watches have got different kinds like, military watch, all-purpose watch and others. You can rock your watch with a full sleeves t-shirt. And no, it doesn’t go with your suit. Don’t even think about it.
A sleek leather watch is the perfect balance between classy and subtle. The leather can be brown or black or something like dark blue and it is best worn with a suit or a semi-formal look. Make sure the watch strap matches your shoes and belt. It makes your look complete and in place.
There are many myths like men should wear their watch on the right and women on the left but you need to remember that, comfort comes first. It’s completely up to you to wear it in whichever wrist you prefer. It shouldn’t create problems for you when on the move.
It’s all good till you’re wearing a leather strap or any other adjustable watch but if wearing a bracelet watch, make sure it fits your wrist perfectly and doesn’t look like a piece of metal hanging off your arms. That’s what’s not cool.
They’re old school yet classy. And sorry to say, not everyone can pull those off. But then again, experimenting is the key. It should be in the pocket that’s the easiest for you to reach. If wearing khakhis or denims, simply put it in the front pocket.
When wearing a waistcoat, you can loop the fob with the buttonhole and put it in the pocket on the other side.
Yes! It’s out! The much anticipated phones of the year, iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are making history yet again like every year! Goes without saying, we can’t wait to lay our hands on these beauties and the specifications of the phones have already left us amazed!
What caught our attention the most was the 5 megapixel selfie camera that comes with an inbuilt flashlight! Well that’s some innovation, especially for those who just can’t stop taking their pictures. And that’s why, here’s a list of things you can do with the new iPhone 6S’ selfie camera (well, apart from taking selfies).
1. Apply make-up like a pro!
2. FaceTime with your friends even at dark places!
3. Make your own animated gif’s with sound with the ‘Live Photo’ feature!
4. Inspect any part of your body – WITH THAT FLASHLIGHT! And you thought only dentists could do that?
5. Take HD pictures of yourself from the front camera. Finally!
There are girls who just can’t get enough of spending time at Sephora, they’d fix a bed there if it was up to them and then there are girls who can’t wait to get out of that store because collecting beauty products is just not their thing. If you’re one of those girls who just can’t make their peace with buying millions of beauty products for different requirements, this post is here to help you. Here’s a list of beauty products that will suit most of your requirements and save you a lot of money, time and hassle.
1) Beauty Balm, more popularly known as the ‘BB’ cream
A BB cream is an all-in-one product that looks after your skin’s priming, moisturising, serum, foundation and sunblock needs altogether. It provides a little coverage and can be used with foundation or a compact powder to increase coverage. BB creams are a blessing for lazy girls and come in a variety of brands. You may choose one depending on your skin type like the Loreal Paris True Match BB Cream is suitable for almost all skin types unless your skin is too sensitive.
2) Instant drying nail polish or Drip Dry
If you just can’t wait for your nail paint to dry there are a few products to help you. You may go for the instant dry nail paints that guarantee drying faster than the usual nail paints. If not that, there are products like Drip Dry by OPI that make your wet nails dry faster. If you don’t even want to invest in them, you may try these hacks to dry your nails in a New York minute.
3) Dry Shampoo
Long hair, don’t care? NO! Every woman cares about her hair and there is no denying that. Although if you have an oily scalp or you’re just feeling lazy to do a home wash-and-dry, invest in a dry shampoo and just spray it on to your hair. It makes your scalp dry and hair a little bouncy with the same effect that talc has on our skin. Try BBlunt’s Back to Life dry shampoo that also adds a bit of fragrance to your hair.
4) Sea Salt Spray
Now dry shampoo is to keep your hair looking clean and like it was washed in the morning; a salt spray on the other hand is a styling hack. A sea salt spray will give you those tousled beach waves you pay for at the salon, or get with the natural beach weather. If you’re lazy and want to stay in your tracks all day but with hair looking as fine as Emannuelle Chriqui’s, try this hack and thank us later.
5) Tinted lip balms
If you can’t even be bothered about applying lip colour because, let’s face it applying a lipstick properly does take some effort and precision; try tinted lip balms. These can be applied using your finger like any other lip balm, the only difference is that they have a hint of colour in them so you don’t look absolutely washed out. Try Maybelline’s Baby Lips to add colour and get lips as soft as a baby’s.
6) Blush plus highlighter
If you want to brighten your face with some blush then go for a cream blush with highlighter just like Maybelline’s Dream Touch Blush. Not only does it have a bit of colour, it also illuminates your face at the right places and it takes less than a minute to apply.
Pooja Misrra, who sailed in the boat of fame because of Bigg Boss season 5 is back in headlines and the reason is really messed up. The actor was recorded screaming and breaking hotel property because she wasn’t allowed to leave the premises on account of not paying the bills (or so we’ve heard). And rumour has it, that there have been other complaints about her doing the same with many other hotels across cities.
The Ex- Big Boss contestant, who we have seen getting aggressive and speaking trash in the show before got us some more entertainment; well, it’s the same here but things go bad when she starts beating the crap out of the hotel staff. Yikes!
Also, give it a close look at how she kicks away the guard who was asked to take her luggage away. This damsel sure knows how to distress those around her. If possible, sit back and grab some popcorn and look at her making a joke of herself. #CelebsGoinCrazy
We have always loved Justin Timberlake for the multi-talented man that he is. And he has made us smile once again by giving this stunning performance to Beyonce’s Single Ladies at The U.S. Open.
While Roger Ferderer and Richard Gasquet played the quarterfinal match on Wednesday, the camera spotted buddies Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon doing a little show for the audience. Take a look at both of them moving to the popular track by Beyonce.
A transgender superfan of Kim Kardashian is making rounds on the Internet and the reason is very obvious – she looks a lot like Kim!
Thalia Almodovar claims that she’s spent over 100,000 dollars just on surgery, clothes and make-up to look like Kim Kardashian! Well, that’s some dedication there!
In spite of being one of the fairly cleaner cities in the world, London has to deal with a wee bit of littering on the road. Yep, and you thought it only happens in India. This litter mostly consists of chewing gums or cigarette butts and the amount of this litter has reached an alarming number. To keep a check on this hazard, Hubbub, an environmental charity, came up with a very innovative idea to help ensure Central London’s cleanliness. The best part, it involves the people of the city itself and they participated happily. Here’s how.
The question is what did Hubbub do?
This. Let us make it simple for you. Hubbub came up with this brilliant idea of bringing the special kind of bins for smokers with a poll. Yeah, so the question was, “Who is the best player in the world?”
Messi and Ronaldo, being the obvious options, got all the football lovers on the street to take the poll and why not? There’s always been competition between both of them and their fans. And if it gets the streets cleaned, might as well!
To keep the streets clean, this is probably the coolest idea anyone has come up with in a long, long time. And because it seems to be working, new polls would be taking place every week with questions about different sports.
And for the people who love chewing gum. Everybody loves chewing gum!? This is what Hubbub did. This is so much better than getting gum stuck in your shoes out of nowhere while walking down the street, rather, make a telephone booth appear!
Also, we gave it a little thought, what if something like this was to happen in Delhi? We can imagine these special bins at places like, GK, Connaught Place, Hauz Khas and many more, and we’d have really good amount of cigarette butts to looks at and some good topics to actually talk about. But, then again, there’s more to garbage than just cigarette butts and chewing gums. It’ll take a good while to settle in and it is definitely worth the try. After all, it’s about keeping YOUR city clean.
If there’s one celebrity that has successfully rocked every stage she has been on, it’s Taylor Swift! Making grand appearances where ever she goes, Taylor has now mastered the art of winning people’s hearts all around the world!
We wonder what makes her so special (Well, there isn’t much to wonder there). But, let’s just take a look at a few reasons why Taylor Swift is the most amazing celebrity that has existed in Gen Y! For all those who don’t agree with us – allow us a chance to change your minds! Here you go!
1. Her love for sharing the stage with other celebrities!
Yes, Taylor Swift is famous for inviting guest celebrities to join her on stage! Be it – Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) from the TV series ‘FRIENDS’ or the pop diva from the 90’s, Avril Lavigne. The singer sure knows how to turn every performance into a party!
2. Her expression of gratitude when she receives a present!
A fan recently knitted a sweater for Taylor and we’re in awe of it! Yeah, that sweater has a Polaroid of Tay on it and it looks spectacular! The humble star never forgets to thank people for the gifts with the cutest smile on social media… even if it’s Kanye West!
We all love her music! There are no two thoughts about the fact that Taylor Swift’s music can never go unheard or unnoticed! Targeting the sentiments of her fans just in the right way, this country singer sure knows how to make people fall in love with her voice!
4. She never shies away from taking pictures with fans!
If you ever want a picture with Taylor Swift, just ask her! We’re pretty much a hundred percent sure that she herself might end up clicking it for you! Doesn’t that make her simply amazing? Hell yeah!
5. Because the Billboard woman of the year 2014 rocks country music like none other!
Country music is awesome (always has been), but when you add a little Taylor Swift to it, believe us it’s a raging party! Who do we have to thank here?
6. Did somebody talk about charity? We bet Taylor had something to do with it!
She has often been referred to as one of the most charitable celebrities in the past. Helping people and children from time to time is something Taylor loves and we love her for that!
