I’ve always been of the opinion that two heads are infinitely better than one. However, finding someone (or something) that shares your own unique vision is easier said than done. Compromises come as standard – but nothing beats the feeling of knowing when something is just right. Cue our latest partnership with toothcare giant Pearl Drops: they get us, so in turn they get you, and together we’ve created a very special edition of Look. Our aim was simple: to spread the feelgood word across the land (read: the mag, our website and social platforms, natch) and, really, to make you smile. So we decided to do something totally different. Flip your mag over and prepare to have your mind BLOWN. Done that? Welcome back! Indeed, we’ve treated you to…

“She’s so in demand and her confidence is rocketing” Hats off to Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright. Long-distance relationships are often tough and with Mark jetting all around the world (partying in Mallorca, working in LA) it can’t be easy. But while the pair have been trying hard to see each other as much as possible, they’ve had a pretty drama-filled month. According to our source, the couple have hit rocky ground and after a series of rows over the last few weeks, Michelle’s adamant she’s not interested in any more drama. ‘Michelle and Mark have been through a baptism of fire when it comes to long distance relationships,’ a friend tells Look. ‘They’re the first to admit that it hasn’t been easy, but Michelle’s stopped reading internet comments now.…

Besides everything you need to nail the I’m-so-cool-and-Ididn’t-even-try look – oversized cable knits, classic co-ords and silk slip dresses, to name a few – Scandi brand Ganni is queen when it comes to sellout tees. We bet at least 70 per cent of you own the orange style and the rest of you probably bagged the ‘Space Cowboy’ number (if you didn’t, you definitely wanted one). Now there’s another creation taking over our feed. One that features our favourite baked good: the croissant. Yes, it’s a plain white T-shirt with a pastry on it, but trust us when we say everyone will ask where it’s from, and it’ll get you more likes than you’ve ever had. Mon amour. Mon amour, indeed.…

Retinol or AHAs + Hyaluronic Acid When using a retinol, AHA or other exfoliating products, it’s important to replenish hydration. Hyaluronic acids are light enough for retinol to still penetrate through, yet give skin an instant hit of moisture and help with irritation. Vitamin C + Vitamin E Up your dose of daily vitamins by using both vitamins C + E. Together, they work to penetrate into different levels of the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation and protect the skin from environmental factors. SAVE £££ AND COM BINE THE TWO WITH SUNDAY RILEY C.E.O. PROTECT+ REPAIR MOISTURISER, ›60 – IT CONTAINS BOTH VITAMINS FOR DOUBLE THE GOODNESS Retinol or AHAs + SPF Yup, any kind of retinol or alpha hydroxy acid majorly increases your skin’s sensitivity to…

Your smile is the first thing that gets you noticed, and nothing beats bright, white teeth for giving you confidence – agreed? That’s why the Pearl Drops teeth whitening range is an absolute must-have when it comes to a naturally beautiful, real-life smile. We asked three ladies with gorge smiles to tell us which Pearl Drops products they love the most. First off, Daisy Tickel is one of our four #LookLaughLive competition winners –whose Insta pic netted her a once-in-a-lifetime experience worth £3,355. Beauty Ed Lydia Thompson knows her whiteners inside out, while reader Emma Hull’s beam speaks for itself. All set for a Pearl Drops #ThisIsReal smile? ‘My teeth are noticeably whiter and that’s given me so much more confidence’ DAISY TICKEL Competition winner ‘I’m so excited to be…

Cheryl’s Comeback Chez (AKA Mrs Payne, if rumours are to be believed) is about to make her big comeback very soon. See next week’s Look for more details… Shhh! So Sassy Gordon’s new pink gin is the most extra drink of the week. Hello, cocktails! £ 13 for 70 cl, available at Tesco Happy National Underwear Day!

Hangover heaven. Roast, London SE 1…

“‘It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It’s also a very clear path to happiness. Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.” Sheryl Sandberg “I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Happy people are beautiful.” Drew Barrymore “The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have, and not obsess about what you don’t have, the happier you will be.” Amy Poehler “Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts… Good relationships feel good. They feel right.” Michelle Obama…

Is it first thing on a Monday? Er, no, unsurprisingly. Perhaps after lunch on Wednesday, when you’re over the hump and the weekend seems that bit closer? Nope – the happiest time of the day is 7 pm. Research has shown that this hour is when people are most likely to be socialising with friends, relaxing with a drink or doing something else they consider fun. Basically, 7 pm is your magic hour – and we advise cherishing it and doing something for yourself every night. Even if it’s just an hour on ASOS’s New In section. After all, it is a hobby……

What makes me happy? It’s something I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. With ever-demanding schedules – both professional and social – I’m on a mission to make sure everything I do makes me smile. Luckily, I’ve carved myself a career that entertains my biggest passions: shopping, uncovering the best beauty buys and road-testing the latest trends. Yep, it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it! However, in an age where we’re increasingly time-poor, it’s the little things that can make a big difference to your mood.

It also gives me great pleasure to unveil the…

Skipping onto the red carpet to welcome the waiting crowd to the premiere of Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets in London last week, Rihanna looked out-of-this-world gorge. But while she’d hoped her red Giambattista Valli gown would be centre stage, all eyes were on… her clutch bag. That’s right. RiRi, 29, who used to be very hands-free (she has assistants to carry her lippy, naturally) has been doing some precision bag-carrying of late. A little bit like Beyoncé when she was trying to conceal something pre-Rumi and Sir, right? Let’s look at the evidence……

Polka dots: you either love them or hate them. Still, the motif of choice for low-budget theatre productions of Grease manages to shake off its costumey constraints and work its way into the wardrobes of those in the know. From Mango’s tie-front top to Uterqüe’s 50s-inspired frock, the key to getting the vibe right is to pair your polka pieces with unexpected add-ons. We recommend vinyl mini skirts, biker jackets and fierce footwear. Now’s the time to join the dots.…

With beauty brands offering more potent ingredients in skincare than ever before, we’re all becoming our own at-home beauty mixologists. But without a chemistry degree or dermatologist-approved beauty routine, do you really know what you should and shouldn’t be using together? From acids to retinols, here’s what you should never mix and match……

Happy… WHAT A MELON! Laters, avocado and move over, pineapple, because this year’s fruit inspo of choice is – of course – the watermelon. And it’s everywhere. Throw it on the barbecue, blend the flesh with tequila for the most refreshing and (sort of ) sin-free margarita – and then wear it! From this pip-perfect bikini (top, £19.99, bottoms, £15.99, both Oysho) to sequinned watermelon sliders (£29.99, Zara), this sweet print puts the fun back into fashion. Take our word for it: red and green is basically the only summer combo you need to be wearing now – with a watermelon margarita in hand, of course. Happier… ALL THE LOLZ Did you know the ‘Face With Tears Of Joy’ emoji (seriously, someone needs to rename that) is the most popular…

CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD It’s been suggested that a positive password can reinforce your happiness. Yup, really! Passwords such as YouGotThis 123 or LookOnTheBr!ghtside can become your daily positive mantra. APPLY COLOUR Colour has been known to significantly brighten your mood and adjusting your make-up is the quickest way to enhance it. Pink is a powerful mood-lifter but don’t overlook energising coral. These shades are instant mood makeovers. DO 10 STAR JUMPS If you’ve been hunched over your desk and need a mid-afternoon boost, forget the chocolate and instead do a little exercise – even climbing a flight of stairs gets the endorphins going.

TRIANGULAR According to experts this seems to indicate a dynamic, impulsive person who’s a bit of an extrovert. OVAL An oval smile suggests a more timid personality, and the kind of person who is super-organised. RECTANGULAR This smiler is a passionate person who’s constantly driving forward and is a bit of a go-getter. SQUARE This kind of smile reveals a discreet person who plays by the rules.…

Savvy spending can be deadly. Picture this: you finally come across the perfect pair of shoes, tell yourself you’ll give it until payday so you can be an adult and do adult things like budget for, you know, rent. And food. The trivial things in life. But then you return to your favourite shop to buy said shoes (feeling all smug) and they’re out of stock. Every. Single. Pair. Know the feeling? Same. That’s why we decided to brighten up your week (month/life) and source the restocked shoes that sold out before even we managed to get our mitts on a pair. Obvs they’re all amazing in their own right, but shoes are like boys: you always want what you can’t have, giving us even more reason to buy a…

When it comes to a high profile love triangle, Angelina Jolie has definitely been there, done that (and got the ‘team Jolie’ T-shirt). It might have been a few weeks since ex Brad Pitt, 53, and 35-year-old Sienna Miller were spotted cosying up at Glastonbury, but according to our insider they’re keeping their budding romance under the radar – and Ange is doing all she can to keep her cool. In an interview last week, the 42-year-old actress revealed she’s doing her best to maintain a normal life for the sake of her and Brad’s six children. ‘I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house,’ reveals Ange. ‘As I go to sleep at night, I think: “Did I do a great job as a mom or…

First came the Chloé Drew bag, then the Faye, and now it’s all about the Nile. You’ll definitely have seen it before – it’s the mini flap style complete with a gold ring handle. But obviously we’re not talking about the real £1,150 deal – because there are other things we need to pay out for. Like food. And rent. Sigh. However, the high street has taken everything we love about the design – bracelet ring and all – and created affordable incarnations that look no different from the original. Hallelujah! Look to Mango for a sleeker version sans studs, or Shein.co.uk for all the Chloéesque add-ons for 61 per cent less. No need to be in denial over here... TIP Savvy saver? Hate you! But seriously, snap up the…

‘I’m obsessed with Bardot tops right now, so naturally this off-the-shoulder dress was on my list. To match my bold ’do, I’ve teamed it with black cowboy-style boots and a chunky waist belt for added edge’ ‘For days when only jeans will do, a pretty embroidered pair will make you look as if you’ve made an effort when in reality it took you no time at all to get ready! The subtle detailing on these bleached numbers means I can still rock my favourite print top, too’ ‘BBQs, festivals, nights out – this frock will look the part at any summer soiree you throw at it. Again, I’m all about edging up the pretty frills with black leather additions like these studded sandals’…

“Social apps aren’t doing enough in my opinion – they have a responsibility” OK , we’re a little bit obsessed with Stacey Dooley. The mega-talented 30-year-old has only gone and made another incredible documentary – and we can’t stop talking about it. Delving into the dark side of digital, Stacey’s eight-week investigation explores the connection between drugs and social media – specifically how schoolkids are buying class A drugs online, coded with emojis (eg, a snowflake = cocaine) and via platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat. Stacey Dooley Investigates: Kids Selling Drugs Online (watch it on BBC iPlayer now), sees her go undercover, questioning dangerous drug gangs and arranging meets with dealers – one as young as 16, who turns up straight from the school playground. We caught up with…

Retinol + Acne Treatments Retinols are designed to speed up cell turnover and smooth the appearance of skin and fine lines. Because of this, they can often result in slight skin peeling from all the exfoliation. Pair this with a pure acne treatment like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, designed to slough away skin cells and dry up blemishes, and you’re in for a case of extreme dryness, redness and irritation. Ouch. Exfoliators + Skin Brightening Treatments Whether it’s a toning lotion or grainy scrub, exfoliators work by encouraging dry and dead skin cells to be removed so that your brand-new, baby soft skin can shine through. Thing is, ‘brightening’ products often contain alpha hydroxy acids, which encourage skin cells to peel and therefore do pretty much the same thing.…

Frank Body The Original Coffee Scrub, £13.95 This super scrub always comes up trumps. It’s totally natural (made from coffee, salt, vitamin E and almond oil) and leaves my skin impossibly smooth. @gdidwhat Xen-Tan Pre And Post Tanning Body Scrub, £14.99 I need a super scrub to get me through summer because I’m fake tanning near constantly. This one is gentle but still enough to scrub off left over patches of tan without leaving an oily residue. @gisellelikes Sanctuary Spa Salt Scrub, £13 I have eczema, so I have to be really careful with what I put on my skin. This salt scrub helps with any dry patches but doesn’t aggravate them. @emilyjefferies Clinique Sparkle Skin, £22 Of all the scrubs I’ve tried, this one makes the most difference to…

If we could look like anyone in the gym, it’d probably be Gigi Hadid. Those abs. Those legs. Those… You get the point. Handily then, SixtyNinety has the next best thing: a gymwear collection that looks exactly like hers. We’re talking camo sports bras (yeah, Gigi’s got one), mesh leggings (guess who’s got one?) and lime green inserts (we’ll give you one of each if you can guess whose favourite colour this is). The best part? Every piece is under £70. SixtyNinety, you HaDid it.…

What’s the story? It’s set in the 28th century and follows the story of Valerian and Laureline – two special operatives tasked with a mission to safeguard Alpha, a metropolis home to species from a thousand planets who’ve merged together to share intelligence. Directed by the incredible Luc Besson, who also masterminded The Fifth Element and Lucy. Who’s in it? Cara Delevingne is Sgt Laureline, Dane DeHaan is Sgt Valerian, and watch out for Rihanna as a shape- shifting alien – sounds odd; actually kind of mesmerising. Why should I care? The ultimate girl power combination of Cara and Rihanna should be enough to tempt you. But aside from that, the incredible graphics (3D flying made us feel slightly queasy) and banter between Laureline and Valerian was enjoyable. Plus RiRi…
