Joey Potter Called And She Wants Her '90s Lip Look Back
This month I'm back on the bandwagon because Joey Potter lips are back. The look's a rich chocolate wash of colour (sheer) with a balmy finish - the sort the ever effortless Joey could plausibly have applied with her favourite Chapstick, but IRL involved a prestige beauty pick or two from the Dawson's Creek make-up trailer. In fact the show's make-up artist Brittany Cole recently revealed on TikTok that the team used MAC Lipstick in Twig, £25, alongside Dr Hauschka Lip Care Stick, £10.50, to achieve Joey's couldn't-care-less-lip.
Today there's a new '90s lip hero in town and it comes by way of Clinique's iconic Black Honey legacy. The Almost Lipstick is emollient-rich and balm-like. The original Black Honey shade delivers a layer of berry-adjacent colour and this year's new Nude Honey version offers a subtler finish, a warm, deep nude (as the name suggests) evocative of Holmes's on-screen counterpart.
Clinique went hard on their campaign for this one, bringing in Cynthia Erivo as the face (the Wicked star wore Clinique Almost Lipstick Nude Honey to the Met Gala this year) to great effect - TikTok is head over heels for the stuff. As am I, incidentally, it's a one-product gateway to my dream teen lip look, sitting pretty in my make-up bag as we speak. If you see me pairing dungarees with a lopsided smile anytime soon, ask no questions. 1.
Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey

What Clinique says: 'Sheer, buildable lipstick melts into lips, playing up their natural colour. In three surprisingly flexible shades (black, nude and pink) that look different on everyone.'

WhatRachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'What truly sets Nude Honey apart is its clever blend of warm and cool pigments. These adapt to your natural lip tone to create a shade that's uniquely yours- expect a flattering colour for all skin tones. The texture is another standout feature for me - it's balm-like and incredibly comfortable to wear, offering just the right amount of hydration to keep chapped lips at bay.

It comes as the "Stiletto Challenge" has gone viral on social media, a stunt which involves recreating the famous pose in Nicki Minaj's "High School" music video. The rapper is filmed beside a swimming pool in stilettos, crouching with one leg crossed over the other.

'Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.' The mum-of-one was left with a compression flexion fracture to her spine - forcing her to wear a corset for three months. The video has gone viral in Russia, with many hitting out at the first-time mum for prioritising fame over caring for her newborn. Advertisement One commented: 'Irony? Karma? Stupidity and courage,' posted one follower. 'To live to 32, have children, but not gain intelligence - you have to try really hard,' said another.

In response to the outpouring of criticism Maria said she had two nannies to help care for her child. Advertisement She said: 'Because of one video, which was poorly filmed, I woke up as a popular person. 'People, thank you for the popularity, for your concerns and for your comments. 'I am doing great, I am following the recommendations and now I live in the status of a 'star'…. 'For those who are worried about my child, I will also reassure you, he has two nannies and while I was filming, one of them was with him.' Advertisement The failed stunt comes just after two influencers were arrested after posting a TikTok posing in front of a flaming Russian plant following a Ukrainian strike. A drone dramatically exploded the military-linked Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt oil depot in Sochi. TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the burning facility. They are captured in footage glorying in the Ukrainian strike which Putin's air defences failed to prevent. Advertisement

Viral 'bunnies on a trampoline' video is revealed to be AI - These are the subtle clues that give away the hoax
Young, tech-savvy social media users might like to think they could never be deceived by a fake video. But a viral clip showing cute rabbits bouncing on a trampoline has now proven that nobody is above falling for online trickery. The video, posted by TikTok user rachelthecatlovers, has amassed 229.3 million views and over 88,000 comments. However, despite how adorable it might be, the clip is nothing more than an AI-generated hoax. In the video's description, rachelthecatlovers wrote: 'Just checked the home security cam and… I think we've got guest performers out back!' If you fell for this fake video, then the good news is that you weren't alone, as social media users have flocked to share their surprise at being caught out. On TikTok, one user complained: 'This is the first AI that has ever got me.' But if you're still having trouble separating fact from fiction, these are the subtle clues that give away the deception. On TikTok, commenters have complained that this was the first time they had ever fallen for an AI fake First, as the video starts, pay close attention to two bunnies on the left-hand side of the trampoline. What initially looks like two grey rabbits sitting side-by-side, unnaturally warps into a single bunny, which bounds away. A similar transformation occurs with two other rabbits around the five-second mark. To spot the subtle flaw, focus on the leftmost rabbit as it starts to run across the trampoline. The rabbit jumps up and obscures another rabbit sitting on the back edge, which has vanished by the time the first rabbit lands. Finally, keep your eye on the single dark grey rabbit in the middle-right of the screen. Around seven seconds into the video, the rabbit unexpectedly gives up its grey colouration and becomes brownish-white like the others. Although these hints might be difficult to spot at first, once you've seen them, it is clear that this video is a fake. For more evidence that this viral clip is a fraud, you can also look at the other videos posted by the account rachelthecatlovers. In one AI-generated video, a hand is shown injecting raisins with water to transform them back into grapes. Another video shows what appears to be a rabbit entering through a kitchen dog door. However, on closer inspection, the video is clearly AI-generated, as you can see the dog flap fading out of existence. Addressing the claim that the videos are fake, the account posted a bizarre video in which a woman, lit by flashing orange lights, shouts into the camera over loud music. In the clip, the woman repeatedly says: 'Guys, the rabbits are real. D A A R E. Real.' Despite the subtle hints and the account's unusual behaviour, many people still found themselves falling for the clip. Despite these hints, many social media users still couldn't bring themselves to believe that the video was fake Some younger commenters even joked that they had thought only their parents would fall for fake AI content 'OMG this is the best thing I've ever seen,' added another. Even Gen Z found themselves unable to spot the fake, as one commenter wrote: 'A few years ago I was laughing at my mother for believing ai. Another joked: 'I'm getting scammed when im older.' This is not the first time that an AI-generated image has gone viral before the internet realised that there was deception involved. In 2023, Eliot Higgins, founder of open-source investigative journalism website Bellingcat, created a series of AI-generated pictures showing Donald Trump being arrested outside Trump Tower. Although Mr Higgins said that he had made the pictures with AI in his initial post, the images were shared and spread without that context. As the images went viral, many people were convinced that Trump had, in fact, been arrested. Likewise, AI-generated images of the late Pope Francis wearing a puffer jacket were detailed enough to convince thousands of people that the photos were real. AI systems rely on artificial neural networks (ANNs), which try to simulate the way the brain works in order to learn. ANNs can be trained to recognise patterns in information - including speech, text data, or visual images - and are the basis for a large number of the developments in AI over recent years. Conventional AI uses input to 'teach' an algorithm about a particular subject by feeding it massive amounts of information. Practical applications include Google's language translation services, Facebook's facial recognition software and Snapchat's image altering live filters. The process of inputting this data can be extremely time consuming, and is limited to one type of knowledge. A new breed of ANNs called Adversarial Neural Networks pits the wits of two AI bots against each other, which allows them to learn from each other.

'I visited popular London park and couldn't believe how much deck chair hire cost'
A tourist in London filmed herself looking at the prices for deck chair hire in a popular park in the capital, as even using one for an hour can incur a hefty cost A London visitor has been left gobsmacked by the unexpected expense of hiring a deck chair in Hyde Park, taking to social media to vent her frustration over the additional cost of living sting. Nadia Scott shared her disbelief on TikTok, showing a sign in Westminster's iconic Grade I-listed park that listed the rental prices. "So we're in London and they're charging £4 an hour to sit down," she exclaimed. "You can sit down for two hours for £5.50, £6.50 for three hours and £14 to sit on your a**e all day." She went on to highlight the sea of unoccupied chairs, suggesting most people were too savvy to fork out when they could simply sit on the grass at no cost. And when asked for her thoughts, Nadia's friend, Molly, bluntly remarked: "You've got be having a f*****g laugh." The park's signage also mentions a reduced rate for concessions (students, seniors over 65, and disabled persons), and even season tickets for frequent visitors, costing £180 for standard and £80 for concessions. Reacting to the clip, one TikTok user noted: "The bedrock of capitalism is supply and demand... the only reason this exists is because people are willing to pay for it." Another criticised: "Fair enough to charge for the chairs but those particular prices are extortionate!". And a third disgruntled individual remarked: "I wouldn't mind if it was some luxury chair, leather, Bluetooth, or massage, but they're chairs from the Victorian era." WARNING – explicit language in video below, viewer discretion advised. However, not everyone is critical of the deck chair rental scheme. One person defended the concept, explaining: "You're not paying to sit. You're paying to use the chair. It's a business and a service and optional." Whilst a second quizzed: "So what's the problem? If its too expensive for you then you're not the target audience. Not everything has to be good value to everyone." Promoting their offering on the web, Parkdeck Chairs Ltd, the enterprise behind the deck chair hire initiative, proclaims: "We believe London's parks are sanctuaries where people relax, connect, and enjoy nature. Our mission is to enhance these beautiful spaces by providing high-quality, comfortable, and sustainable deckchair services." The company further commits to environmental stewardship, stating: "We are committed to preserving these treasured green spaces through eco-conscious practices, responsibly sourced materials, and a service that supports both people and the planet." The service extends to several Royal parks including The Regent's Park, Kensington Gardens, St. James's Park, and The Green Park. These deck chairs are up for grabs from March to October, available during daylight hours, provided the weather plays along.
