Mariah Carey broke three Guinness world records This week, the Guinness Book of World Records awarded Mariah Carey a trifecta of world records. Thanks to her evergreen holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which was released in 1994 and remained on our holiday playlists ever since, the singer now holds the record for highest-charting holiday (Christmas/New Year) song on the Hot 100 by a solo artist, as well as most streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours — with over 10.8 million streams last December — and most weeks in the UK singles Top 10 chart for a Christmas song. All three records will be included in the Guinness World Records 2020 Edition book.

Michael from @guinnessworldrecords presented me with a certificate on stage, so naturally, I asked him to join us for the #AllIWantForChristmasIsYou finale! 😉🎅💝 ...

Versace is suing Fashion Nova for mimicking the “jungle dress” and other famous prints View this post on Instagram 🌴💚 A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Sep 20, 2019 at 1:51pm PDT Early this week news broke that Versace had filed a lawsuit against Fashion Nova, suggesting the California-based fast fashion brand allegedly copied signature Versace prints and iconic designs. Among the copied looks is the famous jungle dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the Grammys in 2000, which might we remind you, single-handedly birthed Google Images. It came back onto our radar a few months ago when Lopez walked Versace’s Spring 2020 runway in a new version of this dress. Versace’s black and gold Barocco print and their multi-coloured heart print are other trademarked Versace designs involved in the complaint. Versace is speaking up on how Fashion Nova offers a plethora of trendy yet low-cost clothing to customers at the expense of a designer’s har...

When you think of nails, it’s highly likely that the first name that comes to mind is Sally Hansen. A stalwart in the nails category, the brand has long delivered all of the tools we need for beautiful hands and bomb nails. And now the brand has given us yet  another reason to love it – a new line of 100 per cent vegan nail polishes . The line – called “Good. Kind. Pure.” – is made up of 30 colours, each with names representative of nature like Coconut Milk, Eco-Rose, Fruity Papaya, Beet It, Grape Vine and Sun-Tastic, in hues ranging from neutrals to vivid brights. All of the formulations have been made with 100 per cent vegan, plant-based ingredients, 75 per cent of which are naturally-derived. Perhaps the line’s biggest selling point is that it is 16-free, meaning it is formulated without 16 ingredients considered to be potentially harmful to consumers. These include sulfates, parabens, acetone, phthlates, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, xylene, camphor, ethyl tosy...
