Jennifer Aniston’s Haircare Brand LolaVie Lands At Mecca
Jennifer Aniston’s glossy, ever-evolving hair has long been a hallmark of her iconic status. It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since she debuted The Rachel—the iconic, choppy layered cut made famous by her Friends character in 1995. Since then, Aniston has remained a constant source of hair inspiration, evolving her look throughout a career that’s as stylish as it is impressive. To the delight of many fans, Aniston released her own haircare line in 2021, LolaVie, and finally it has landed at Mecca.
Our standout pick? The Glossing Detangler—a lightweight essential that leaves hair noticeably softer, smoother, and salon-fresh.

BOOIE Beauty Launches Peri Range For Hormonal Skin Support
BOOIE Beauty, founded by Celeste Barber, just dropped its Peri Range—a no-nonsense skincare duo designed to support skin through perimenopause. Inspired by real conversations with women over 35, the range targets hormonal changes like dryness, crepey texture, and inflammation.
Powered by grapeseed oil and ribose, the formulas hydrate, firm, and restore elasticity without the usual ‘anti-ageing’ spin. “Hormones might be chaos, but your skincare doesn’t have to be,” says Barber. Like all things BOOIE, it’s simple, effective, and made for women who want their beauty routine to work with their body, not fight it.
