THE COMPASS This month’s cultural ups and downs

Pointing you in the right cultural direction this month...

OMBRE LIPS

It’s a thing. But thanks to Smashbox’s Be Legendary Triple Tone Lipstick (£17.50), you’ll look more Marilyn Monroe than Manson.

REEL EQUAL

Spotted stars accessorising with Equal Representation for Actresses badges? The campaign calls for women to get 50% screen time*. We’re with you!

HORROR REBOOTS

Remember watching horror movies at sleepovers and losing control of your bladder? Well, those films are back. It, Flatliners and Annabelle† have all had an update. Pass the Tena Ladies.

FESTIVAL SOS

As festival season ends, you still struggle to find your fluoro tent. No bother. The Boutique Camping Tent Finder app uses GPS to locate it. Saves sleeping in a tree.

OJ SHOWERS

It’s in your Sunday brunch Buck’s Fizz, and now it’s in your morning rinse... Vitaclean’s vitamin C-filtered shower head (£59.99) soaks you with nutrients. Pulp not included.

SIMPSONS FACE

We love Marge, but we’re not into channelling her skintone. Fans of the yellow blusher trend may disagree, but liver failure isn’t our beauty inspo.

SOLE SHOES

Nakefit’s adhesive pads grip to the bottom of your feet, so you can go flip-flop-less. Creepy-looking. And what happens when they peel (read: sweat) off?

EMOTIONAL SNIFFER DOGS

When you start getting over your ex and they message you after months of silence. It’s like they can sense your newfound happiness. Can you not?

MOMPERSUITS

That’ll be romper suits for men, then. The current trend making us inwardly shudder the most…

POPULARITY ON-DEMAND

Anybody wanna buy some likes? Head to Russia where vending machines in shopping centres are offering 100 Instagram thumbs-up for just 69p. Oh, the dishonesty.
