Tesco may have got the ball rolling and dropped the cost of women’s razors, but the 'Pink Tax’ still means that women are regularly paying more than men for the same items. Hidden behind varying quantities and prices per ml, everything from shaving foam to face wash is often way pricier for women. In fact, us gals spend a whopping 37 per cent more on average than our male counterparts! Until the law sorts itself out (ahem, Teresa May, we’re looking at you) why not save easy £££s and buy like the boys? Or better yet, just borrow your BF’s for free. FRAGRANCE 50% MORE EXPENSIVE MOISTURISER OFTEN 20% MORE EXPENSIVE WOMEN OFTEN PAY DOUBLE THE PRICE FOR FACE WASHES AND SCRUBS SHAVING FOAM…

We’ve barely scratched the surface of 2017 and there’s already an abundance of new trends being road-tested by the fashion-sphere’s most seasoned icons. Among them, you can always count on the fact that there’ll be a new bag style that’ll make you question every other handbag you’ve ever purchased. It’s clear that every designer was keen to get 2017 off to a positive start – and none more so than Loewe. On a solo mission to infinitely lift our moods, the Spanish fashion house has bestowed upon us the cutest bag known to humanity; its Elephant cross-body. OK, so it might cost a cool £875, but as soon as you lay your eyes on it, you’ll instantly feel a zillion times better. E-com guru Lyst has revealed that you –…

“She sees life in a new light. She wants it to be different” Is there anyone who didn’t 'awww’ over the first glimpse of Cheryl and her growing 'bump’ post-Christmas? Caught on camera behind the scenes at a photo shoot by hairstylist Wendy Iles (see the pics at Look.co.uk/cheryl-bump), an assistant can be seen adjusting a fitted grey dress on the singer and she looks uh-mazing. Again, all together: 'Awww’. But despite the whole world fawning over the clip, it was removed within 24 hours. Why? Our sources reveal that Cheryl was angered by it as she wants to remain totally under the radar for the next few months. Before the video went public, Cheryl hadn’t been seen since appearing at a carol concert back in November. While Liam last…

Sitting in front of us and looking every inch the A-lister, it’s easy to forget that Jennifer Hudson started her singing career as a runner-up on 2004’s American Idol. Yep, she didn’t even win. But did that stop her? Hell no. Being cast in the film Dreamgirls alongside Beyoncé just two years later, Jen picked up an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, then released three best-selling albums. We’re still loving her James Corden Carpool Karaoke and now the 35-year-old is on Saturday night TV in the UK as a coach on The Voice – which is why we’re here today. In person, she’s as funny, enigmatic and yes, that word again, 'fierce’, as we would have hoped. Watch out guys, Jen means business… How much are you loving being on…

We’re practically professional bargain hunters in the fashionsphere, but with 21 looks from a handful of wardrobe staples, we may just have outdone even ourselves. It’s all about how you wear it which, of course, is what we’re about to share. Read it and weep. With joy, we mean… 1 The Midi Skirt WAYS TO WEAR: UNDER A BOYFRIEND JUMPER One for less formal occasions, a full skirt cut will create a cool shape underneath an oversized jumper, while it’ll look equally good with heels as with trainers. OVER TROUSERS Skirts ain’t for everyone. The alternative? Wear over trews – everyone’s doing it and all without a peep of any pasty pins. So long, biscuit tans. OVER A DRESS Yes, it’s a thing – and it looks great. A slit…

We’re firm believers that you don’t need an A-list pay packet to have amazing style – heck, we whip up 90 + pages on a weekly basis based on that premise alone. However, even we couldn’t believe our eyes when we clocked this bounty of bargain treats. Designer-worthy cushions, luxe candles, edgy electricals and the most statement of mirrors for £ 20 or less? This colourful haul is the stuff homeware dreams are made of. 'My wardrobe is full of frugal finds but I never expected that I could get so much bang for my buck throughout the rest of my home. At the top of my wishlist? This red hot desk lamp...’ FRAN BACON, FOUNDER OF THE FASHION LIFT…

If You Only Watch One Thing... Z: THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING We’ve been in love with this series ever since we were first given a peek at the pilot – and we can confirm it’s the show you’ve been waiting for. Christina Ricci is back on our screens to retell the story of iconic flapper Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, from her roots in Montgomery, Alabama – where she was known for her ‘wild’ behaviour – to her romance with novelist F Scott Fitzgerald (played by David Hoflin from American Crime). Beginning just before the 20 s Jazz Age, we were immersed in the accents, the dancing and of course re-living that flapper-girl style. Jazz is most definitely back. • Arrives on Amazon Prime on 27 January Worth The Hype... HACKSAW RIDGE…

Remember the days when a Mars bar would set you back 35p and penny sweets were, um, still a penny? Well, here at Look we’re experiencing some major financial nostalgia and we thought we’d take you back to the good old days when you got more bang for your buck. But don’t think it’s fizzy cola bottles that are on offer – oh no, this is so much more. To make January less, well, January and to give you the much-needed pick-me-up you so deserve, hot e-com label Neon Rose is bringing you dreamy dresses that you can snap up for just 99p. Yes, really. You can take your pick from three pretty printed frocks which, for a limited time only, will be slashed to a teeny fraction of their…

The 'borrowed from the boys’ trend is nothing new. Sharp blazers, straight-leg jeans and grungey band tees are just a few of the pieces that have gained cult sartorial status thanks, in no small part, to our boyfriends’ wardrobes. However, our appetite for all-things fashion means that once again we’re looking to the guys for style inspiration – only this time, we’ve set our sights on an older man. If you want to be on trend RN, Grandpa knows where it’s at. Velvet smoking jackets, sleek slippers and high-waisted slacks are just some of this season’s standout buys; all of which are commonplace in any gent’s wardrobe. That said, it’s could-be bifocals and natty knits that have been a major hit with the A-list. Sienna’s £990 Chloé knit? Inspired. But…

“Social media is often far removed from reality” Let’s be honest: in the dark depths of winter, we think just getting to the gym is an achievement. After all, if we had our way, we’d be hibernating right now. Whether it’s leaving the house while it’s still dark out or having braved the ridiculous cold (and snow!), we feel pretty chuffed when we drag ourselves out of bed for a workout. That is until a post-session Instagram trawl, when seeing endless gym selfies and ab pics makes us feel, well, a little empty. Turn to social media post-exercise and the inevitable workout shame ensues. Sunday mornings are made for fitness Instagram posts: a sea of fresh faces, Sweaty Betty leggings, poached eggs and Barry’s Bootcamp hashtags – and, if you’re…

THE OVERDRAWN RED LIP ‘At Elisabetta Franchi’s SS17 show, power pouts ruled the runway. Make-up artists painted models with bright red and glossy lips, leaving them with imperfectly perfect pouts.’ MAKE IT WORK (IRL*) 1 Prep your lips with Glamglow’s Poutmud Fizzy Lip Exfoliating Treatment for a smooth finish. 2 Take Burt’s Bees Lipstick in Scarlet Soaked and apply. Then, using a fine-tipped lip brush, take the lipstick slightly over the edge of your natural lip line. 3 If you make a mistake, dab a cotton bud in an oil-based remover, then conceal on top. 4 If you’re worried about your colour bleeding, take Rimmel’s Moisture Renew Clear Lip Line around the outside of your lipstick to keep it in place. *In Real Life THE VERDICT QUICK POUT PLUMPER ‘I…

Some shops hold a certain nostalgia for us all. Chances are, you bought your first self-selected item of clothing from Tammy Girl at the tender age of 12 (a shopping rite of passage if there ever was one), a 'proper’ fashwun buy from Topshop at 15 and, whether you bought anything or not, it’s likely you tried on all the dresses in Monsoon, desperately searching for The One in anticipation of that great teenage milestone: the leavers’ ball. Fast-forward to 2017 and, amid the taffeta and tulle, Monsoon has so much more to offer. For the new season, the brand has cemented itself as the ultimate trend hotspot on the high street and it’s the subtler pieces that really warrant the 'must-have’ accolade. Precision-cut military jackets, pleated palazzos so wide…

“There have been tears. She’s just trying to protect herself” The new year isn’t shaping up to be quite the one Victoria Beckham wanted… While our New Year’s resolutions have long since waned, Victoria Beckham might be considering a bit of a change in strategy for February. A do-over, if you will. January 2017 has ended up being quite a busy month for the designer – however, instead of the usual pre-Fashion Week chaos of missing samples and last-minute meetings, Victoria’s experiencing drama of another kind. Following the public revelations that her company had to be 'bailed out’ by her husband David’s to prevent a loss of 'millions’, it was revealed that Victoria, 42, has been speaking to lawyers about the Spice Girls reunion – something that’s left fans of…

Lucy Nutt, 31 , a nurse from Reading, was in the same situation as Binky and is now mum to three-year-old Alfie. ‘Tom and I met in 2012 and straightaway I knew that he’d be in my life forever – but I never imagined in this way. We were pretty full-on from the start; he moved into my place after just four months. But when Tom took a new bar job, things started to change. The long hours meant we hardly saw each other. We’d been together a year and a half when I just realised I was done and we ended things. It wasn’t pleasant. ‘But two months later, I’d been feeling pretty unwell and the doctor suggested a pregnancy test. I can’t tell you how shocked I was…
