Rihanna’s beauty brand did have an eyeshadow palette before, but the 16-shade Moroccan Spice Eyeshadow Palette was a bit much for people who only have one or two go-to make-up looks – and, let’s face it, it wasn’t exactly easy to slip into a small bag or clutch.

The problem with most fitness apps is that they’re too boring Alas, an office job and a penchant for pizza force me to move around for the sake of a pay cheque and what one might loosely term “health”, and this summer I figured I might as well download apps that would help me reach a daily target of 10,000 steps – the widely accepted standard if fitness... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3027565/geocaching-pokemon-go-7-best-walking-apps-people-who-hate?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3027565/geocaching-pokemon-go-7-best-walking-apps-people-who-hate?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 18 Sep 2019 18:00:11 +0000 In 42 seconds, Zhang Weili became China’s first UFC champion.
