Reviewing 10 bestselling Floral Street perfumes – From Arizona Bloom to Vanilla Orchid
With prices starting at just £29 for an eau de parfum (aka a fragrance with a pretty potent amount of perfume oil in it compared to an eau de toilette) it's such an affordable brand with a vast array of perfume types from floral (natch) to fruity and gourmand. Also, something that I think is so cool is that, to ease the buying process of perfumes online, which is tricky let's be honest, is that when you buy a full sized bottle on Floral Street's website, the package includes a small sample so you can test the scent with the sample and if you hate it, you can return the unused, unopened bottle for a full refund! I was so impressed with the range but I have picked out the top 10 below that you need to smell asap...
I tested the perfumes for a range of characteristics. I sprayed first thing in the morning and noted the lasting power through the day. I also looked out for how much the scent changed after the dry down and if it smelled different on my clothes vs on my skin. I also noted the projection (aka how powerful the scent is).
I would say that, on average, the scents last a good few hours before I found myself wanting to respritz. It's not the strongest for an EDP but definitely lasted longer than the average eau de toilette of cologne.

The Best Blush for Every Skin Tone—How to Pick the Right Shade
Whether you're all about bold, statement makeup or more of a five-minute face kind of person, blush deserves a spot in everyone's makeup bag. In my opinion, it's the unsung hero of makeup. Sure, foundation gets the credit for smoothing out complexions, and people cling to their favorite lipstick to instantly perk them up. I think blush has the ability to do both when done right. And 'done right' comes down to finding the right shade. Yes, placement matters, but if the color isn't quite right, your blush is not going to pop as well as it could. It can be daunting to opt for anything other than a rosy pink, but a wealth of color choices out there are waiting to liven up your look. Makeup artist and founder of Katie Jane Hughes says, "When it comes to blush, I believe things need to be tried and tested. So the best blush shade for you is the one that makes you happy." And while she doesn't subscribe to the idea that there are wrong shades, she does think some look more incredible on different skin tones. More on that, below. "I love using berries, red plums, and deep rust tones on deeper complexions," says Hughes, "and make sure you choose shades that don't have too much white in them." As a black girl who loves blush, I find that I get the most skin compliments when I wear my Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Flushed Blurring Balm Powder in Dancing Queen (you can shop it below). For olive skin tones, unsurprisingly, a mix of bold but mid-toned hues works perfectly. So look for shades of apricot orange, deep peachy tones, or terracotta (a lighter take on rust hues), to really emphasize your complexion. These shades look especially vibrant on sun-kissed skin and make the cheeks look perfectly flushed. "For more fair, pale complexions, I usually opt for varieties of pinks and peachy tones," says Hughes, "something within those hues always looks so fresh on the complexion." Cool-toned pink looks incredible on fair skin–if you're worried about the color looking too stark against your skin, try a blush balm formula, which is easier to build up and gently blend out on the cheeks. Katie Jane Hughes is a professional makeup artist and the founder of KJH Brand. She's Dua Lipa's makeup artist, creating many of the pop star's most iconic looks. Keeks Reid is the Beauty Director at Cosmopolitan UK. While she loves all things beauty, Keeks is a hair fanatic through and through.

Who Is Sofia Carson Dating?
If you haven't noticed, Sofia Carson is kinda having a moment rn. The Netflix romcom queen keeps churning out hit after hit—which of course begs the question: Who is Sofia Carson dating IRL?? Sadly, it doesn't seem like she has an off-screen romance with her My Oxford Year costar, Corey Mylchreest (womp), but she *is* rumored to be seeing someone (more on that later). Back in May 2019, Sofia told Cosmo that she was currently putting romantic relationships on the back burner. 'I've never tried dating apps,' she said at the time, later adding, 'I'm dating my career.' But perhaps things have changed! Wanna know more about Sofia's hush-hush love life? Here's who the Descendants alum has been linked to in the past—and who she's currently rumored to be dating. Yes, Sofia was once rumored to be in a relationship with Modern Family actress Sofía Vergara's son, perhaps fueled by this video Manolo posted of himself bench-pressing Sofia back in 2018: Or this tweet from 2017: But tbh, I'm getting friend vibes from these two. While filming Purple Hearts back in 2022, Sofia once again stirred up romance rumors, this time with her onscreen love interest, Nicholas Galitzine. I mean, the chemistry is undeniable, no? However! Though the two did plenty of flirting on the press tour, nothing ~romantic~ was ever confirmed between them. Sorry! Who is Hugh Evans, you ask? He's an Australian humanitarian who's the co-founder of both The Oaktree Foundation and Global Citizen, and he and Sofia first crossed paths (as far as fans know, anyway...) back in 2023, when they teamed up for that year's Global Citizen Festival. Their relationship seemed totally professional—that is, until May 2025, when a DeuxMoi tipster claimed that Sofia and Hugh were actually an item: A fan on Reddit also claimed that Sofia joined Hugh at the first Global Citizen NOW action summit in Rio de Janeiro in November you'll have to take all of this with a grain of salt, as there is exactly zero evidence to back the claims up. Whether they're the real deal or not, it seems to me that Sofia's looking to keep her private life under wraps—so I guess I'll just go watch The Life List again!!

Hasbro is releasing a new version of Priorities known as Priorities Fourth Wing Edition and it will absolutely have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the universe as you rank characters, scenarios, and more! The game is simple: the first player—the Wingleader—grabs five different cards that have various choices that you will then rank from 1 to 5. Then the rest of the group—the Iron Squad—will try to guess how their ranked their picks and, of course, there may be some surprises along the way. According to Hasbro, "Do you prioritize love, power, friendship, or something else entirely? Which signet do you think you could wield? And who's really your favorite rider at Basgiath?" Basically, this game is going to offer a lot of hard hitting questions that may make you scared to reveal how you truly feel! As you can see with some of these cards, there are not going to be some easy picks. Guess the ranking correctly and you can get a card to add to your pile. Be the first to spell out PRIORITIES with the letters on the back of the cards to win the game. So make sure you play with people you really know and try to stump those who probably think they know you! And, yes, Rebecca Yarros gave the game her full approval, even working with the team throughout the game's development to make sure it's everything hardcore fans could want! "I really hope Empyrean readers will love Priorities Fourth Wing Edition as much as I do! It's clear that the team at Hasbro are fans and that they kept the most passionate readers of this series in mind when they created this game," she exclusively told Cosmopolitan. "I love that it allows them to engage with the characters, choices, and moments that stick with readers long after they close the book." Ready to dive in and reveal your choices?
