I'm Heading To Europe – This New Collection From NARS Is All I'm Packing
As the name suggests, the collection is packed with essentials that scream 'holiday glow'. Whether you're after a cheek palette to boost your rosy glow, glossy lip oils, or a shimmering eyeshadow stick, this collection has everything your make-up bag needs to see you through every summer event, whether it's an alfresco brunch or rooftop drinks at sunset.
Onto the actual products, let's start with the cheek palette- a summer-ready quad featuring two limited-edition blushes, a luminous highlighter and, of course, Nars' iconic Laguna Bronzer. I tried the Medium shade edit, and it's already secured top spot as my go-to glow-giver this season.
Then there's the eyeshadow sticks. A longtime personal favourite, this was the exact product I'd show customers during my time at the beauty counter when someone was looking for an easy, fool-proof eyeshadow that promises to stay in place. This blendable formula can be scribbled on all over the lid and blended easily for an impactful, yet flattering look. I got my hands on the iconic shades Orgasm and Laguna, both bronzy pinks that are perfect for the summer. Plus, you can coordinate your cheek and eyeshadow shades for a cohesive look.
However, the best product in the Hot Escape Collection is unarguably the lip oil. Personal bias to tinted lip oils aside, Nars' super hydrating formula feels weightless on the lips but looks glossy and radiant. The shade High Life, in particular, is guaranteed to be one of your most-used products this summer.
In a nutshell, this collection is a perfectly curated edit of products designed to take the guesswork out of your summer glam. Whether you're heading to a sun-drenched getaway or just trying to survive the city heat, you'll find everything you need here. Each product delivers the shades, textures and finishes to create glowing, golden-hour skin, effortless bronzed eyes, and that dewy, just-back-from-the-beach finish. In other words, it's every single summer essential you might need, sorted. 1.

Samie Elishi sets pulses racing in a bright blue bikini as she jets off to Mykonos for NARS trip with fellow Love Islander
Samie Elishi set pulses racing in a bright blue bikini as she jetted off to Mykonos for a trip with NARS. The Love Island star, 25, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a clip as she got ready for the sun by applying Kopari Rose Gold sunscreen. In the clip, Samie looked radiant as she showed off her sensational figure in the cobalt My Outfit Online two-piece, which featured low-rise briefs and a sporty halterneck bikini top. Samie's brunette locks were in tight curls ahead of her beach day as she smiled for the camera while applying her sunscreen. Earlier this month, Samie showed ex Sam Thompson what he's missing as she posed for sultry bikini snaps while in Bali. She flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a colourful skimpy two-piece during her Bali getaway. Samie had a matching cover-up on her daybed while sunbathing and accessorised with stylish sunglasses. The influencer went make-up free for the Instagram pictures, which saw her sprawled out on all fours. Last month, a source revealed the pair had ended their two-month romance after things 'fizzled out' between them. It comes after Samie confessed she 'loves Bali' just days after Molly-Mae's sister was mocked for leaving the island after just 48 hours due to being disappointed. Zoe, 28, has been slammed by her followers this last week after she confessed Bali did not meet her expectations and so fled to Dubai instead after just two days. The fitness enthusiast travelled to the Indonesian country to celebrate her one-year anniversary with her husband Danny. But despite staying in a huge sea view room at a 5-star Radisson Blu, 'something wasn't quite right' and so she fled her resort. And it has appeared that Samie has taken a subtle swipe at the star as she showed her support for the developing region during her holiday. Samie's bikini in the clip featured low-rise briefs and a sporty halterneck bikini top As her wine glass was being topped up, Samie posted a snap of herself to her Instagram Stories with the caption. 'Cheers bbys, I luv Bali'. When Zoe explained the reasoning behind her departure, she claimed that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a new YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. 'Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.'

I'm Heading To Europe – This New Collection From NARS Is All I'm Packing
Few beauty brands boast as impressive a list of iconic products as Nars- from its Sheer Glow foundation and Laguna bronzing powder to the Orgasm blush, the brand's bestsellers have long been beauty editor favourites. But having once worked as a beauty advisor for Nars, I can let you in on a little secret: it was always the brand's limited-edition drops that we couldn't stop swatching (and secretly saving for ourselves). So it was only natural that I immediately got my hands on the brand's new Hot Escape collection the minute it dropped. As the name suggests, the collection is packed with essentials that scream 'holiday glow'. Whether you're after a cheek palette to boost your rosy glow, glossy lip oils, or a shimmering eyeshadow stick, this collection has everything your make-up bag needs to see you through every summer event, whether it's an alfresco brunch or rooftop drinks at sunset.

I'm convinced my tiny penis was to blame for girlfriend dumping me – now I'm terrified to have sex with my new lover
WHEN I think back to the best sex I've had, it's not the size of the pecker I remember, it's the whole package. It's the guys who took their time, who slowed things down and explored me from head to toe. The ones who genuinely cared about my pleasure and wanted to understand what really turned me on. They might not have been blessed with the biggest kit, but they knew exactly how to use the tools they'd been given. You may recognise me from some of the steamy stories I've covered over the years - from hush-hush high society sex soirees in Venice to entering an orgasm contest in New York to mark the 30th anniversary of When Harry Met Sally. I'm The Sun's Sexpert, and now I'm launching a new no-holds-barred sex series to answer YOUR biggest bedroom conundrums, sharing my wild real-life experiences and practical tips to help you fulfil your wildest dreams between the sheets. If you're struggling in the sack, hiding a secret kink or want any other advice, be sure to send in your sex conundrums using the form above. Here I kick off by helping a reader out with an, ahem, small problem... Q: I'm quite a big guy (6ft 2) so women always expect me to be well endowed, but my penis size is just 3.5 inches when erect. Whenever I meet a woman I like, I start to dread getting it on as I'm worried I'm going to be a total flop. I'm convinced my last serious relationship broke down because of the size of my manhood. What's more, I don't think I've ever given a woman an orgasm. Some exes admitted to faking it to spare my feelings. Now, if I meet a woman I like, I end up ghosting her before sex as I can't handle the thought of disappointing her. I had a vagina makeover including a 'vampire' lift & infamous 'O-shot'...it's transformed me from a knackered mum of two to sex goddess having best orgasms of my life Is there a way I can still be a good lover when I'm not blessed downstairs? Georgie says: Contrary to common belief, you don't need to be hung like a porn star to rock a woman's world. When it comes to actual pleasure, technique trumps size every time. And here's the science bit. The average penis size is around 5.1 inches, and the vaginal canal is roughly 3 to 4 inches deep - so anything much bigger is actually a bit of a waste. That said, if you're short on inches and worried about hitting the spot there are lots of clever tips and tricks you can do to maximise contact and boost pleasure. Because in the end, it's not the size of the ship - it's whether you know how to steer it… Be present When you're fully in the moment, you're more in tune with your own body - and your partner's. You can read their reactions, adjust your touch, pace, and position, and make everything feel more intense and pleasurable. One of my worst sexual encounters? With a ridiculously hot guy who was well above average… but who actually took a phone call mid-session! Yes really! I had big expectations but despite his pornstar package, he was a total flop. So here's the deal: turn off your phone - and turn on your partner instead. Being present isn't just polite - it's one of the sexiest, most essential ingredients for great sex. Use the 10:5:10 foreplay rule A whopping 75 per cent of women won't orgasm from penetrative sex alone, so it's time to prioritise your starters before diving into the main course. Enter the 10:5:10 foreplay rule – a simple but seriously effective formula that always leaves me begging for more. And no, you don't need a stopwatch to do it. First 10 minutes: Focus on everything above the neck. That means deep kissing, lip biting, hair pulling, nibbling earlobes – basically, hitting all those glorious erogenous zones that get her mind and body in sync. Next 5 minutes: Move south, from neck to belly button. Nipple play is key here – with 82 per cent of women reporting increased arousal from stimulation, it's a guaranteed way to ramp things up. Final 10 minutes: Now comes the grand finale – all the attention below the navel. This is clitoral central, so use your hands, your mouth, or bring in a toy to tease, tantalise and truly take your time. Meet our sexpert In her eight years at The Sun, there's not much our Georgie hasn't seen - or done - and she's loved every outrageous minute. "People often ask how I became a sexpert," she says. "Well, I've been fascinated by sex and relationships for as long as I can remember. "As a teen, I devoured women's mags full of scandalous confessions and steamy tips - and I was obsessed with Sex and the City. "Maybe I was manifesting my inner Carrie Bradshaw from day one. "I'd always dreamed of working at The Sun - and when I finally landed the job, I found my niche fast: going to sex parties and oversharing about my frequently chaotic love life. "Over the years, I've built real trust within the kink and swinging community and I've interviewed hundreds of people about their sex lives. "Add to that my own, um, 'field research,' and let's just say I know what makes good sex great." Georgie says being a sexpert is about having life experience, curiosity, a sense of humour - and plenty of adventures along the way. "There's not much that shocks me these days," she continues. "Except maybe a man who doesn't believe in foreplay. "But nothing makes me happier than hearing a reader say my advice helped them feel more confident (and satisfied) in bed. "Now I'll be answering your burning sex questions - and dishing out practical advice to help get you back in the saddle." Invest in a sex cushion I'll never forget the moment an ex - let's call him Mark - whipped out this inflatable sex cushion and started blowing it up. I won't lie, it didn't look like the sexiest contraption, but looks can definitely be deceiving. What really stuck with me was how Mark owned the fact he was below average and wasn't afraid to try something innovative to up his bedroom game. One of my worst sexual encounters? A guy who answered a phone call mid-session! Georgie Culley And honestly? He was on to something. The humble sex cushion is one of the greatest inventions ever. It helps you master nearly every position by supporting your body at just the right angles, so you get deeper thrusts and longer, stronger orgasms. There are loads of sex aids out there, ranging from £17 to well over £100, but this one from Amazon is a winner - and it's priced at £42.99. Try the pairing technique A helping hand – so to speak – during sex can make all the difference when it comes to helping a woman cross the finish line. While vaginal penetration alone isn't enough for most women to orgasm, adding clitoral stimulation – whether with fingers or a toy – can significantly boost both the likelihood and intensity of climax. This technique is known as 'pairing', and so many women tell how it's a total gamechanger for them. One standout toy that's firmly in my top drawer? Ann Summer's Moregasm+ Clit Stim. Made from silky silicone that moulds beautifully to your body, it's the perfect shape to slip between you during sex — without getting in the way. Best bit? It stays on target, even when things get really steamy. Improve hip flexibility You don't need to be a gymnast to level up your sex life — but improving your hip flexibility could seriously elevate your bedroom game. Being a bit bendier between the sheets allows for deeper penetration, smoother thrusting and more adventurous positions without the awkward cramping. The hip flexor stretch is a simple exercise to help open your hips. Kneel on one knee, with the other foot in front at a 90-degree angle. Gently push your hips forward to stretch the front of your hip. Hold for 30 seconds each side. Mix up your positions 5 Doggy style is a classic for a reason and my go-to position if a guy isn't that well endowed. That's because it allows for deep penetration, so you can make the most of what you've got. To do it, have your partner on all fours - or for even deeper sensations, on their elbows and knees - while you enter from behind. It's also great for pairing with a hand or a toy for extra pleasure. Elevated reverse cowgirl is a twist on the usual. Your partner straddles you, but instead of facing you, they face away - towards your feet. To give you extra depth, pop a pillow under your hips. You'll be lying back on the bed or floor, while they sit on top, facing away, riding you. The flatiron might sound like a hair tool, but it's also a sizzling sex position. Have your girlfriend lie flat on their front, legs squeezed together. Add a pillow under her pelvis to lift her hips slightly. You then lie on top and enter from behind. The tightness of her thighs ups the friction and sensation - and helps both of you feel every inch.
