'This milky toner promises glass skin – and people actually noticed'
Milky toners have become a bit of a skincare trend this year, and I'm personally a huge fan of them. Having already tried out a few formulas, including BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, and Curel's Moisture Facial Milk, £20, I love the glow they give and how much they hydrate the skin, ready for make-up.
Even Hailey Bieber swears by a drop of her rhode Glazing Milk mixed into foundation for the ultimate lit-from-within look.
So when I discovered the internet's trendiest K-Beauty skincare brand, Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, I couldn't wait to try it out.
This milky toner is packed full of skin-loving ingredients that hydrate, calm, and nourish in one go. It has a dual-layer formula, which involves a light, essence-like liquid combined with a powdery base that not only provides serious moisture but also helps keep oil and shine in check.
This is especially a lifesaver if, like me, you suffer from oily skin and need to keep it at bay during the summer months without drying your skin out.
Beauty of Joseon Glow Replenishing Rice Milk review
As I previously mentioned, I'm already an avid user of milky toners, so it was unsurprising that I enjoyed using Beauty of Joseon's one so much. However, what cemented this one in particular as my new go-to is how well it works for oily skin.
Other milky toners can sometimes lean on the side of shiny, rather than radiant, but that wasn't the case with this rice milk.
Not to mention, I got literally stopped in the street and complimented on my "glass skin", which hasn't happened to me with the other milky toners I've used.
It definitely gives that luminous, "I drink three litres of water a day" glow, and because it's infused with rice extract and rice amino acids, it actually feeds your skin with a whole load of vitamins and antioxidants.
My only criticism is that I would prefer the consistency were slightly thicker; it is far more watery than other milky toners I've used in the past, and that leads me to pouring out a bit too much product every time I use it.
Overall, however, I think it's the perfect glowy but not greasy base for under makeup or those makeup-free days when you want your skin to do all the talking.

'One simple beauty swap has transformed my make-up and it's so affordable'
After discovering brown mascara, Mirror writer Niamh Kirk gave her verdict on the Sculpted by Aimee LashLift brown mascara - and says it's completely changed her daily routine I have probably had the same makeup routine for a decade - so trying new things has always been a scary thought. But as I get older, and my face changes, I have been a little more open to new products and when I find something that earns a permament spot in my makeup bag, I won't stop raving about it. I admit, I do stick to what I know, especially when it comes to mascara. I have always opted for classic black and finding a good one is no mean feat. However since discovering a new brown mascara, it's totally transformed my whole makeup look. I think brown mascara has always been a no-go zone for me, as my lashes are already very dark, so it seemed like the obvious choice to stick to black. But when I came across the Sculpted By Aimee LashLift brown mascara my opinion changed. As soon as I applied it, it completely softened my features, I have very, very dark thick eyebrows, so I noticed how much of a difference the brown made. Don't get me wrong, it toned down my makeup, but I think for a day-to-day look it's better as it's a lot more natural. I used to want really dark, thick lashes, heavy eyeshadow and eyeliner - I admit, looking back it perhaps wasn't my best look, but we all have those eras of makeup we choose to just pretend didn't happen. So as I've got older, I've swayed more for a natural look and I am really enjoying more of a natural look. My eyebrows have even followed suit. As much I loved 2016 eye makeup with heavy eyeshadow, thick eyebrows and false eyelashes. I have really toned down my eyes, including hardly filling in my eyebrows - and I feel like the brown mascara is the newest change I have made in a mission to strip back my daily makeup look. I am also very fussy when it comes to mascara as can be prone to having black undereyes after a few hours, so for me it's important a good mascara won't budge - and I didn't notice this happening with the Sculpted by Aimee LashLift one. It lifted my lashes after a few coats thanks to the wand's multi-level bristle technology, designed to apply the product from the root to the tip of your lashes, with the nourishing, weightless formula to separate and coat each lash. Formulated with lightweight polymers, and minimal waxes, the bristles glide effortlessly through lashes, preventing any clumping, and delivering a lifting effect. And it's not just me that has been raving about it, with shoppers rating it an impressive 4.4 out of 5 as one person said: "Love this product, the colour is amazing, I'm never a brown mascara girl but you have converted me!! It's fab and what it does, is in the name!" While another said: "It's really beautiful one that gives lash lift, deep black eyelashes and holds well for the whole day but it goes flaky on me and that's a big downside." A similar mascara is the Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara Brown currently on offer for (£22.40) Providing up to 24 hours of visible lift, volume and length, the formula offers one-swipe saturation while fanning out every last lash - while creating a soft look on the eyes. Alternatively, a cheaper option is the Revolution Wrap Lash Tubing Mascara (£10.99) that contains the revolutionary tubing technology. It is made with a nourishing formula of Shea Butter, Carnauba Wax And Castor Oil to care while you wear.

Harry Styles has launched sex toys – here's what to know
Breaking the mould of celebrity beauty brands (see Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez), Harry Styles has unveiled his latest business venture: sex toys. The singer launched his unisex lifestyle brand Pleasing in 2021. In the years since, he's sold an eclectic mix of nail polishes, hand creams, apparel, accessories, skincare sets, and fragrances. Now, he's dipping his toe into the sexual wellness world with two new products: a double-sided vibrator (£68) and pleasing lube (£25). In the teaser clip on Instagram, Styles' voiceover says: 'Please yourself like you mean it.' Naturally, the announcement has sent fans of the former One Direction singer into a frenzy. In the comments, one writes: 'Does the vibrator come with this message playing on loop? Asking for a friend.' Another reads: 'My body's jumped right OUT of menopause.' Styles isn't the first celebrity to tap into this industry – Lily Allen famously launched a sell-out sex toy line with Womaniser, while Dakota Johnson is creative co-director of the sexual wellness brand Maude. The Pleasing launch is set to further tackle the taboo around women taking control of their own pleasure. In fact, the brand will continue to develop products in the sexual wellness space, including a collaboration with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, launching condoms and creating educational videos. Here's everything you need to know about Harry Styles's new range of sex toys. Pleasing designed its sex toy in collaboration with sex educator (and self-confessed 'dildo duchess') Zoë Ligon. While we're yet to test this vibrator, it's said to cater for a range of bodies, sexualities and desires. The double-sided toy features a rounded head for external use, with the handle doubling up as an insertable vibrator. It also has seven speed settings and two motors, and is water-resistant (but don't take it in the bath as it can't be submerged). Talking about the launch on the brand's website, Ligon said it's 'a great toy for both those new to sex toys and experienced users alike; it's versatile, offers many ways to play'. You can sign up for a notification when the sex toy is available to buy. Pleasing has also launched a silicone lube, which is FDA-approved and is compatible with most condoms and non-silicone sex toys. We're yet to test the product, so we can't vouch for its efficacy, but it's said to offer long-lasting moisture and a smooth glide. Of course, it's bottled up in Pleasing's signature stylish aesthetic.

Whether you're after timeless staples or a standout statement piece, these autumn deals are the perfect blend of style and savings. Head of shopping picks: Levi's Spade Trench Coat Was £150, now £75 Trench coats are always worth the investment thanks to their practicality and timeless look. They're the kind of jacket that will never go out of style and will see you through from autumn to spring. Our head of shopping, Zoe, has found such a great offer on Levi's flattering trench. Zoe says: "As soon as the weather starts to feel a little colder, I start reaching for a trusty and lightweight trench coat, and I basically don't stop wearing it until the frost sets in. My last-season trench is a Karen Millen buy, which I've had for years, in anticipation of the new season, I've picked up Levi's Spade Trench Coat while it's on sale. Previously £150, you can grab it for £75 if you're quick – which is an incredible deal on a top quality jacket like this." Beauty editor picks: Boden Imi Scallop Trim Jumper Was £76, now from £38 Knitwear is an autumn essential, and Mirror's beauty editor, Laura, has spotted a cosy cotton and wool blend jumper in the Boden sale, with more than 50% off on certain colours. Laura says: "Living in an old, cold terrace house in the north of England, it's never wise for me to pack my jumpers away, even in the midst of summer – plus I love how knitwear looks paired with shorts. A scallop-neck jumper I previously owned recently got ruined in the wash, so I'll be replacing it with one of these cute Boden knits now that some of the colours are better than half price. I'm tempted by the strawberry red and the light brown." Senior shopping writer picksCinched Waist Workwear Jacket Was £110, now £55 Barn and work jackets were a massive trend last autumn, and they're back for another season. Our senior shopping writer, Faith, has found an elevated take on the barn jacket from Abercrombie. Faith says: "Utility jackets were a major trend this spring, and they'll be making an official comeback for autumn. They're my go-to silhouette for dressing down something more formal, like a satin midi dress, or for adding some edge to a mini skirt, plus they pair perfectly with a simple pair of jeans and a T-shirt – a total wardrobe workhorse. This Cinched Waist Workwear Jacket from Abercrombie & Fitch is the perfect balance of practical and stylish, and its faux leather collar adds a little luxe-look to the utilitarian design. It's also available in three colours and a diverse range of sizes – plus it's got 50% off. Winner winner!" Shopping writer picks: TOG24Alva Women's Waterproof Jacket Was £170, now £119 With the UK's unpredictable weather, a waterproof jacket is a non-negotiable, and our shopping writer, Meghan, has spotted a TOG24 one that combines style with practicality for £50 off. Meghan says: "My TOG24 jacket saw me through last autumn and winter and has remained a firm favourite for rainy weather even in spring and summer, but this autumn, I'm stepping up my waterproof wear with this stylish Alva Women's Waterproof Jacket, which is currently up for grabs from TOG24 for over £50 off. Boasting an endlessly chic maxi design and coming in an on-trend khaki colour, this parka jacket is breathable while promising to keep you protected from the wind and rain." Shopping writer picks: ASOS Cleona premium leather kitten heel knee boots Long gone are the days of uncomfy, stiletto-high autumn boots. Instead, we're seeing comfier, lower heel heights that don't compromise on style. Our shopping writer, Grace, has had this chocolate ASOS pair in her basket all year. Grace says: "I had my eye on this gorgeous suede pair of boots last winter, but didn't want to part with almost £150. However, now that they're less than £100, they're much more tempting, especially with payday finally here. Suede is still going to be a huge trend next season, and this pair is so versatile, not to mention the perfect height. I could style them with everything from midi skirts to mini dresses, and still manage to walk around in them all day thanks to the kitten heel."
