0

When it comes to makeup, finding the perfect foundation is easier said than done – especially if you have sensitive skin. Of all the beauty battles, foundation is the one that tests our patience the most and can be the biggest headache: finding the perfect shade match, dealing with cakey and heavy textures, dryness, creasing, and, most importantly, breakouts. However, with so many formulas on the market, there are a handful of flawless, breathable full-coverage foundations that are not only gentle enough to avoid irritation and redness but also soothe sensitivity. Many formulas now do more than just cover – they care for your skin too.

We are busting the beauty myth that foundation isbadfor your skin – full-coverage foundations can be used on all skin types and still look natural; the key is choosing the right formula for your skin type and its needs. We’ve curated a list of the best full-coverage foundations for delicate skin to make the hunt for your perfect base easier and ready for a spot in your makeup bag. Your ideal foundation is definitely amongst these five.

It’s also an oil-free foundation, which can help prevent excess oil production, a typical cause of irritation and breakouts. Its matte finish is great for fragile skin, as itminimises unwanted shine for lasting, just-applied freshness’, while creating an airbrushed effect.

The key ingredient here is Amazonian clay, which balances oil production and has a soothing, calming effect on the skin – a saviour for those with vulnerable skin. Another reason Tarte incorporates this ingredient is forbetter, longer, truer wear’, as it helps the makeup last longer without irritating the skin. An added benefit is that it reduces the need for constant touch-ups or reapplication, which can lead to further unnecessary irritation.

Available at Sephora for £36.00.

Final Thoughts

When finding your perfect match, before committing, test foundations on the back of your hand or on different parts of your face, and opt for minis, travel sizes or samples when available. Foundation can be tricky, so remember that blending is your best friend when achieving that natural, skin-like finish, and use minimal product – one pump is plenty to avoid patchiness.

Additionally, for flawless, full coverage – especially on sensitive skin – it all starts with the right prep: hydrating serums, moisturisers, and a nourishing primer, focusing on your problem areas, such as the centre of the face, where redness is common. This helps to maximise the wear of the foundation.

Whether you’re dealing with dryness, breakouts, or irritation, there are several foundations that won’t just cover – they will help. These picks have effective formulas and are lightweight and kind to your skin. Simply put, they deserve a place in your makeup routine.

College Football 26: Latest News, Release Date and Rumours

0

EA Sport’s College Football is set to return after the roaring success of last years iteration with College Football 26.

CF26 will be just the second College Football game in a decade, and fans have high hopes that it will build upon the momentum the franchise appears to have garnered over the past year.

The game is set for a summer release, coming a week earlier than many anticipated.

New Features and Fan Rumours

What we know so far is that the usual fan-favourite modes will return including Road to Glory, Dynasty and Ultimate Team as well as the casual game for fans wanting a quick hit of adrenaline without committing to a full mode.

As of yet, no major changes have been made to these modes, meaning that players familiar with the 25 version of the game can hop straight in.

EA’s marketing has revolved around the slogan “from high school recruit to NFL Legend”, while the exact implications of this is unknown, it sounds like the scope of the game is set to widen significantly with some high school games available, similarly to the MyCareer mode in EA’s sister title NBA 2k25.

Not only might the game go back, it may also feature some form of progression to the NFL, sprouting fan theories that the game may feature some crossover with the upcoming Madden NFL 26 game.

College Football 26: Deluxe Edition and Release Date

CF26 is set to launch on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no sight of a PC or Switch/Switch 2 version, disappointing fans who may have hoped the game would expand to new consoles.

This does however follow the trend of last years game, which also only released on Xbox and PlayStation.

On release fans will be able to purchase two versions of the game or a bundle deal. The Standard Edition is set for a $69.99 price tag, with the Deluxe coming in at $99.99.

The Deluxe Edition comes with some interesting perks, including three-days early access, 4,600 CUT points (in-game currency), two Ultimate Team packs and additional Road to Glory skill points.

The Deluxe Edition can also be bought in a bundle alongside Madden NFL 26 in a move set to delight American football fans and offering a steal for the two games.

Publishers EA Sport have announced that the game is set to be released across all platforms on July 10, allowing summer sports fans to get stuck in with early access starting July 7.

 

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – First DLC Release Date Confirmed

0

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set for its first DLC and a fresh wave of free post-launch content.

The upcoming Brushes with Death DLC will bring a new storyline to the already impressively sized game, and expand the creative options available to players through further character customisation and brand new shield paintings.

The developers, Warhorse, have pointed to a brand new character, Master Voyta, who players will cross paths with along their journey. The enigmatic painter will soon become known as one of the greatest artists of his generation thanks to the help of the player.

While Warhorse have kept details fairly thin, there’s no doubt that this mission will be much more than an arts class.

What’s next for Kingdom Come?

Fans of the hugely successful Kingdom Come franchise have grown accustomed to an abundance of engaging and memorable quests, storylines and characters in the medieval inspired RPG.

But for eager fans, the initial release lacked some key features they had looked forward to. This has largely been resolved through the upcoming free update that will accompany Brushes with Death.

Racehorse have announced that update 1.3 will bring with it a host of balance changes, including a buff to in-game enemies like Kuttenberg, making his region feel much more competitive and more challenging.

The game will also be playable in an all-new hardcore mode will up the ante for players who feel they’re up for the challenge.

Additionally, the game will welcome horse racing mini-games and allow for mounted archery units, a feature that will excite all true history-buff gamers.

The paid DLC will also offer a brand new questline for dedicated fans. However, the main attraction, the ability for players to customise their shields, will feature unlockable options obtained through the main storyline by talking to characters, completing quests, and visiting certain locations.

While shield customisation will be locked behind the DLC paywall, players will have the chance to customise their in game character (Henry) through the highly anticipated barber feature, offering a variety of new hairstyles and beards to suit your imagination.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – DLC and update release date

While no exact release date has been announced, developers Warhorse have committed to a May release according to a live stream and reports from PCGamesN.

The summer release marks the first major DLC for the game, with a smaller content pack, Lions Crest, being available from launch by players who pre-ordered the game, or available to purchase for any late comers.

 

Album Review: Deerhoof, ‘Noble and Godlike in Ruin’

“Love,” Percy Shelley wrote, is “the universal thirst for a communion not merely of the senses, but of our whole nature, intellectual, imaginative, and sensitive; and which, when individualized, becomes an imperious necessity.” “Love” is also the first word on Deerhoof’s latest album, whose title is drawn from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and it is the subject of the song they attempt to dream up on the concluding ‘Immigrant Songs’. The titular allusion to Frankenstein, however enigmatic, aligns with the album’s dense assortment of disparate elements, which seem to come alive even at its most mechanical and monstrous, but also its sensitivity to creatures that don’t match Captain Robert Walton’s description of Victor Frankenstein. Noble and Godlike in Ruin, the follow-up 2023’s Miracle-Level, is humanly messy in a way that feels defiant and, going by Percy Shelley’s holistic and visceral definition, rather lovely. If you subscribe to it, these songs might be for you.


1. Overrated Species Anyhow

Over a wild swirl of guitars, drums, and chirping sounds, the album’s opening track clarifies who these songs are for, or at least addressed to: “my savages,” “my aliens,” “my animals,” words Satomi Matsuzaki sings with complete tenderness. It immediately frames tha album as a political call, railing against dehumanization while declaring that the species asserting this power, in its most authoritative form – well, it’s not hard to come to the title’s conclusion. 

2. Sparrow Sparrow

‘Overrated Species Anyhow’ and ‘Sparrow Sparrow’ were released as a double-A single benefiting the Trevor Project, anonprofit suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ youth. The songs are not only inextricable but feed into one another, as if the disenfranchised beings addressed on the former are alerted and drawn to the band’s frantically intricate rhythms, simultaneously natural and unwieldy as they are. “Hope builds/ Inside of one/ Who suffers/ Who is alone,” Matsuzaki sings empathetically. A collective – a host, if you will – does too. 

3. Kingtoe

The first time I heard the refrain “I make machines/ And you are one,” I thought it was followed by “Unless you want.” It made me think of want as a human precondition, but ‘Kingtoe’ is naturally a little sillier, delightfully whimsical, but no less canny: twisting the meaning around – later it’s you making the machines – and teasing with every unless. A bio describes the record “cybernetic and deeply human,” but ‘Kingtoe’ is about their curious intersection, not contradiction. 

4. Return of the Return of the Fire Trick Star

Deerhoof is a band that always seems to be returning to something fundamental about themselves while breaking any sense of identity apart. Not that this has anything to do with ‘Return of the Return of the Fire Trick Star’, except that it is a classic-sounding Deerhoof song whose title alludes to a ceaseless cycle. First off: sick bass line. But then every other element – be it an eerie string section or funky guitar – arrives to elicit a strange mix of elation and gloom, as if to illustrate the blurred line the protagonist previously mentioned. Yet it’s also playfully nonsensical, its standout line being, “Raise me like a pretty buttercup.” 

5. Body of Mirrors

Noble and Godlike in Ruin continuously more firmly in an ominous direction with ‘Body of Mirrors’, which is also expansive enough to feel like a swerve from the immediacy (by Deerhoof standards) of the previous track. The production blows out a fantastical, enigmatic journey as if to crush it down to its core: the desire to go home, unfulfilled. 

6. Ha, Ha Ha Ha, Haaa

A Phonetics On and On for the Deerhoof universe, where ha replaces la and ba is a cheery bomb. Here, the record’s Frankenstein’s monster steps aside for the protagonist to compare herself to another creation yearning for acceptance: Pinocchio. There is too much happening on the song for the realization to bear a revelation, so the groove quickly mangles itself, leading to one of the noisiest passages on the album.  

7. Disobedience

What do you expect out of a Deerhoof song called ‘Disobedience’? Some kind of adherence to form? The song is a total maelstrom, though my favorite part is when it quiets down and the monster finds itself adrift, literally just screaming the word: “Adrift!” This cacophony does not suffice for Deerhoof, and the next one, fractured and grooveless, leaves an even bigger mark. It’s enough to drown out the closing spoken word passage, which feels like the point. 

8. Who Do You Root For?

The song is powered by a riff almost as mean as Matsuzaki’s lyrics, which address an “odious companion.” (“You’re not my companion,” she then clarifies.) Of course my savage sounds complimentary!

9. Under Rats [feat. Saul Williams]

Saul Williams matches Deerhoof’s freak – nay, free-jazz kineticism and climate anxiety – on ‘Under Rats’, wholly earning the album’s sole guest appearances. It’s more overt commentary on themes that have so far come up in rather oblique, elemental ways: “I may not be human/ But I know what every human know: being and becoming, fear and loving/ Eat, sleep, think, and grow.” There is a spikiness to the song that thrillingly brushes against its booming low end, not to mention its absurdly symphonic conclusion.

10. Immigrant Songs

A kind of sequel to ‘Exit Only’, a Deerhoof song that’s over ten years old, ‘Immigrant Songs’ is in the same vein as its predecessor in that it foregrounds the radical spirit that pervades, albeit metaphorically, the rest of the album, this time homing on Satomi’s experience as an immigrant in America. “This song we sing won’t be for you,” she sings. Looking at the song title, though, emphasize the plural: there are not only at least a couple songs stitched ferociously together here, but while the first brings forward the most “palatable” version of Deerhoof, the final section tears it all down. A freakout complete with “dalala”s nails the point home, in a language that you could never understand. 

10 Albums Out Today to Listen to: Samia, Deerhoof, Maria Somerville, and More

In this segment, we showcase the most notable albums out each week. Here are the albums out on April 25, 2025:


Samia, Bloodless

Samia is back with her third album, Bloodless, out now via Grand Jury. Recorded in North Carolina and Minneapolis, the follow-up to 2023’s Honey is grittier but no less vividly rendered than her previous albums. “I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating an abstract idea of men with my understanding of God,” Samia explained. “The person I became in order to impress this imagined figure is inseparable from who I am today. A significant part of my personality was built around traits and behaviors I believed—whether through observation or hearsay—men would like. With this album, I’ve tried to confront that head-on.”


Deerhoof, Noble and Godlike in Ruin

Deerhoof have put out their 20th studio album, the self-produced Noble and Godlike in Ruin. Spanning 10 tracks, the follow-up to 2023’s Miracle-Level is both charmingly playful and densely packed with ideas. It was previewed by the singles ‘Under Rats’ (feat. Saul Williams), ‘Immigrant Songs’ and the double-B side ‘Sparrow Sparrow’ f/w ‘Overrated Species Anyhow’. “This is our low-budget DIY Frankenstein,” drummer Greg Saunier remarked. “A sensitive, spurned, intelligent, dehumanised creature made out of people.” Read our review of the album.


Maria Somerville, Luster

“Treasereful” is not a word, but it’s the one that keeps coming to mind when trying to describe Luster, Maria Somerville’s debut for 4AD. The Irish dream pop musician began working on the songs that would become the follow-up to 2019’s All My People upon returning to Connemara, in a house near where she grew up overlooking Lough Corrib, one of the country’s largest lakes. She then fleshed out the songs with friends and collaborators including producers J. Colleran, Brendan Jenkinson, and Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft), Lankum’s Ian Lynch, Margie Jean Lewis, andmusicians Henry Earnest and Finn Carraher McDonald (aka Nashpaints).


Colin Miller, Losin’

Colin Miller has released a new album called Losin’. The Asheville, North Carolina musician plays in MJ Lenderman’s live backing band The Wind and has worked on his studio records, and his Haw Creek follow-up features Lenderman on drums and guitar, as well as Wednesday/The Wind members Ethan Baechtold (bass, keys, aux percussion) and Xandy Chelmis (pedal steel). It was produced by Alex Farrar at Drop of Sun Studios, too. The record is described as “the story of grief’s impact on the psyche,” as it was recorded following the passing, in July 2022, of Miller’s late landlord Gary King, who became a father figure to him.


SUMAC & Moor MotherThe Film

SUMAC and Moor Mother have joined forces for a collaborative LP titled The Film. The experimental metal trio create a punishing atmosphere for the Philadelphia-based avant-rapper’s spoken-word polemic, a unrelenting combination that stretches over a full hour. “The idea is to create a moment outside of the convention,” Moor Mother remarked. “This is a work of art. Thinking about the work as a Film, instead of an album or a collection of songs. This task is impossible in an industry that wants to force everything into a box of consumption. You won’t understand or get the full picture until the artwork is completed. This work is developing and is requesting more agency within the creative process.”


Beach Bunny, Tunnel Vision

Beach Bunny have come through with a new album, Tunnel Vision. The Lili Trifilio-led band recorded it with with Sean O’Keefe, who also produced 2022’s Emotional Creature. No less propulsive, catchy, or colourful for how anxiety-ridden it is, the record was preceded by the tracks ‘Big Pink Bubble’, ‘Vertigo’, ‘Clueless’, and the title track. Having dealt with a lengthy bout of writer’s block leading up to the recording, Trifilio found inspiration by writing about both her own quarter-life crisis and the existential challenges faced by her friends.


Viagra Boys, viagr aboys

Viagra Boys’ (sort of) self-titled album has arrived. Following 2022’s Cave World, viagr aboys marks the Swedish post-punk outfit’s fourth LP and first on their newly launched label Shrimptech Enterprises. “The whole political thing was exhausting. This is like a self-titled album but a bit simple and stupid – because that’s how I am,” the band’s Sebastian Murphy stated in press materials, which is not to say it’s any less frantically fun. ‘Man Made of Meat’ and ‘Uno II’ arrived ahead of the LP’s release.


Tennis, Face Down in the Garden

Two months after Tennis announced their new album Face Down in the Garden, the husband-and-wife duo revealed it would be their last under the moniker. That’s enough for their already wistful indie pop to take on a new resonance, though there’s still a kind of serenity, even breeziness, to its pervasive melancholy. “The inspiration for new work came while we were still on the road touring Pollen,” Alaina Moore shared. “We felt a clear pull to write new music, but ran up against a series of bizarre setbacks. We blew tires and lost an engine. I developed a chronic illness. We took a doomed voyage that culminated in an attempted robbery at sea. Fragments of songs that first arrived like gifts from the universe later refused to be completed. Our days were awash in major and minor crises that dragged the album out endlessly.”


William Tyler, Time Indefinite

The Nashville-based guitarist/composer William Tyler’s wondrously sublime new LP, Time Indefinite, is out now via Psychic Hotline. The record was inspired by Ross McElwee’s film of the same name, which began as “a movie about Sherman’s march through the South,” according to press release, but “spiraled into a tangled history about family, loss, and what we do when our best instincts surrender to the worst things we can imagine. It is no great revelation that the lives we lead shape the work we make, whether or not we intend that to be the case. In these songs, you can hear Tyler, like McElwee, wrestle with incoming demons out loud—addiction, middle age, loneliness, neurosis. All of our struggles are different, but we are united at least in having them. Time Indefinite is the soundtrack that Tyler creates.”


Sunflower Bean, Mortal Primetime

Sunflower Bean have dropped Mortal Primetime, their fourth studio album and first that they’ve self-produced. The follow-up to 2022’s Headful of Sugar features the previously unveiled songs ‘Champagne Taste’, ‘Nothing Romantic’, and ‘There’s a Part I Can’t Get Back’. “You get to decide what your prime is, and you fight for it,” bassist and vocalist Julia Cumming said in a statement. “This is ours, and that can’t be taken away by circumstance. We can’t take it away from each other. This moment, where we are now, is what we’ve always fought for.” The record was mixed by Caesar Edmunds and engineered by Sarah Tudzin.


Other albums out today:

Emma-Jean Thackray, Weirdo; Um, Jennifer?, Um Comma Jennifer Question Mark; Djrum, Under Tangled Silence; Self Esteem, A Complicated Woman; Cloth, Pink Silence; Goose, Everything Must Go; Jensen McRae, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me; Fly Anakin, (The) Forever Dream; Natural Information Society & Bitchin Bajas, Totality; Uwade, Florilegium; The Raveonettes, Pe’ahi II; Ghost, SKELETÁ; Willie Nelson, Oh What a Beautiful World; Prima Queen, The Prize; The Moonlandingz, No Rocket Required; Eliana Glass, E; BRUIT ≤, The Age of Ephemerality;

What is RTP and Why it Matters – Fatpirate explains

Return to Player (RTP) represents a crucial statistical measure in online gaming mathematics. This percentage indicates how much of all wagered money a game will pay back to players over time. Most digital casinos, including Fatpirate, provide this information for game selections. Understanding RTP helps players decide which games align with their preferences and expectations.

How RTP works in gaming mathematics

The calculation represents an inverse relationship to the house edge, with both values always summing to 100%. For example, a game with 96% RTP has a corresponding 4% house edge, meaning that theoretically, for every $100 wagered, $96 returns to players while $4 goes to the operator. Fatpirate games feature various RTP values, typically 94% to 98%, depending on the specific title and game type.

Theoretical return calculations require massive sample sizes to approach the stated percentage. Individual session results can vary dramatically from the theoretical RTP due to the random nature of each outcome and the relatively small number of rounds played by a single person. This mathematical reality explains why personal experiences might not match the published percentages despite the underlying algorithms functioning correctly.

Why RTP values matter to players

Return percentages provide valuable information for making game selection decisions.

  1. Comparison tool for evaluating similar games with different mathematical models;
  2. Indicator of expected bankroll longevity during gaming sessions;
  3. Benchmark for assessing value relative to other entertainment options;
  4. Guide for matching game selection to personal risk tolerance;
  5. Framework for understanding the relationship between volatility and returns;
  6. The standard metric is available across different gaming providers.

These applications make RTP an essential consideration for informed players. Fatpirate visitors who understand these percentages can better align their game selections with their expectations and preferences. Higher RTP values generally indicate more favorable conditions for players, though they represent just one factor among many that contribute to overall gaming enjoyment.

Common misconceptions about RTP

Several widespread misunderstandings persist about how return percentages function in practice.

  • Short-term predictability – incorrect belief that RTP guarantees specific outcomes in limited sessions;
  • Individual application – a mistaken assumption that percentages apply to each player rather than all players collectively;
  • Timing patterns – a false impression that games alternate between “giving” and “taking” phases;
  • Impact on individual outcomes – erroneous belief that RTP influences specific game rounds;
  • Controllable factors – a misconception that player actions can influence the programmed return percentage;
  • Progressive application – an incorrect assumption that returns balance within single sessions rather than over millions of rounds.

These misinterpretations lead to confusion about how games actually function. For example, such casinos as Fatpirate provide educational resources to help players understand that RTP represents a long-term statistical concept rather than a predictive tool for individual sessions. The mathematical distribution involves complex probability calculations that ensure random outcomes while maintaining the programmed return percentage over extended periods.

Despite similar return percentages, game volatility works alongside RTP to create different player experiences. High-volatility games might share identical RTP values with low-volatility alternatives but deliver those returns through infrequent large wins rather than consistent small ones. This variance significantly impacts the player experience even when the mathematical return remains constant.

Introduction to Medik 8 Skincare

Over the past few years, there’s been growing interest in skincare brands that take a more targeted approach. One of the names that keeps coming up is Medik 8 Skincare. Known for offering science-based formulas without being overly complicated, Medik 8 has gained a loyal following among people who want real results without needing a 12-step routine.

What is Medik8 Skincare?

Medik 8 Skincare is a brand that focuses on professional-grade skincare made to be used at home. The company was founded with a clear purpose: create products that are backed by scientific research and suitable for sensitive skin. That balance between active ingredients and skin comfort is part of what makes the brand popular among skincare beginners and long-time users alike.

The product range covers a variety of skin needs—aging, pigmentation, acne, and dryness—with a clear emphasis on results-driven formulas. Most products feature well-known ingredients like Vitamin C, retinol, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, but they’re made in a way that prioritizes skin tolerance and long-term consistency.

A Look at the Medik 8 Skincare Set

If you’re just starting out with the brand, the Medik 8 Skincare set is a good way to try several items at once. These sets usually include a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sometimes a sunscreen. What’s helpful is that each product is designed to work well with the others. That makes it easier to build a routine without worrying about how the ingredients will interact.

People often appreciate that the Medik 8 Skincare set doesn’t overwhelm. The instructions are clear, and the products are packaged in a way that feels thoughtful. For someone unsure where to begin, the sets offer a good starting point without the guesswork.

Night Care and Medik 8 Night Cream

While daytime products tend to focus on protection and hydration, nighttime routines are usually about repair. The Medik 8 Night Cream fits well into that idea. It’s often described as soothing and supportive, especially for those using active ingredients like retinol or acids.

The formula of Medik 8 Night Cream includes ingredients that help the skin recover overnight while staying gentle enough for most skin types. Users mention that it helps their skin feel more hydrated by morning, and in some cases, they’ve noticed reduced irritation when using stronger products alongside it.

Consistency seems to be the key here. While it won’t make major changes in just a few days, many find that using it regularly leads to smoother, more balanced skin over time.

Types of Medik 8 Skincare Products

One thing that stands out with Medik 8 Skincare products is how focused they are. Instead of offering endless variations, the brand sticks to clear product categories—cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and treatments. Each one targets a specific concern without trying to do everything at once.

For example, the C-Tetra serum is aimed at brightening, while the Crystal Retinal line supports anti-aging goals. These types of Medik 8 Skincare products give users the option to build a routine based on what they actually need, without piling on unnecessary steps.

That structure makes it easier to stick with a routine, especially for people who don’t want to spend a lot of time reading ingredient labels or figuring out what goes with what.

Suitable for Sensitive Skin

A common issue with active skincare is irritation. People with sensitive or reactive skin often feel left out when it comes to retinol or strong exfoliants. One of the reasons Medik8 has become so popular is because many of their formulas are made to be well-tolerated.

This doesn’t mean every product will work for every person, but the brand does make an effort to balance performance with comfort. A lot of users who’ve had trouble with retinol or acids from other brands report better experiences with Medik 8.

The Medik8 Night Cream and other recovery-focused products also help support the skin barrier, which is often overlooked in many routines. When the barrier is in good shape, it’s easier to introduce stronger ingredients without irritation.

Why People Keep Using Medik 8

There are plenty of skincare brands that offer similar ingredients or target the same concerns. What keeps people coming back to Medik8 seems to be the mix of simplicity and results. The products don’t feel gimmicky. They’re straightforward and designed to support the skin long term, not just give short-term effects.

That matters when you’re trying to build habits. Instead of chasing the newest trend, people often stick with what works—and for a growing number of users, that’s Medik 8.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re dealing with dryness, breakouts, signs of aging, or just want a more reliable routine, Medik 8 has something that could fit. The brand focuses on well-formulated products that make sense together, from the Medik 8 Skincare set for beginners to the Medik 8 Night Cream for those looking to support their skin overnight.

If you’re tired of sorting through a shelf full of half-used bottles or just want to start fresh with a more balanced routine, Medik 8 Skincare might be a smart place to start. The products are designed to work—not just for a week or two, but as part of a routine you can stick with over time.

Megan Thee Stallion Shares Video for New Single ‘Whenever’

Megan Thee Stallion has shared a rowdy new single, ‘Whenever’, alongside an accompanying video. “Twenty-four hours in a day, and the first thing y’all hoes do is start hatin’/ Couldn’t be me, about my breach, in my sleep gettin’ paid/ One b*tch, two b*tch, three b*tch, four/ Wanna fight me, over my hoe,” she raps on the track. Check out the Zac Dov Wiesel-directed clip below.

‘Whenever’ marks Megan’s first solo single of 2025, though she recently teamed up with Blackpink’s Lisa for ‘Rapunzel’. Last month, the rapper updated fans on her previously teased Megan: Act III, the follow-up to last year’s Megan and its deluxe edition Act II, saying it’s “being made.”

Kali Uchis Releases New Song ‘ILYSMIH’

Kali Uchis has served up a new track from her forthcoming album Sincerely,. It’s the closing track, and as one of the first songs Uchis wrote after the birth of her son, it’s achingly beautiful. “’ILYSMIH’ is me sharing a piece of my heart with the world,” Uchis said in a press release. “Living a life that is rich in love and inner peace hasn’t come easy. I hope this song will find anyone who needs it.”

Sincerely, the follow-up to last year’s Orquídeas, lands on May 9. It was led by the single ‘Sunshine & Rain…’.

7 Tips to Secure a Profitable NDIS Business for Sale

Buying an NDIS business is about making sure the numbers add up and the future looks bright. Plenty of buyers rush into deals without doing the homework, only to regret it later. If the goal is to find a solid NDIS business that actually makes money, then a few smart steps can make a big difference. This article provides seven tips that will help steer things in the right direction and avoid costly mistakes.

1. Check for Clean and Consistent Financial Records

A profitable NDIS business should have detailed financial records that are easy to understand. Look at revenue and expenses for at least the last two years. Ensure nothing is missing. If the books are messy or figures don’t line up, that’s a red flag. Ask for BAS statements and client invoices to back up the claims.

2. Review the Registration and Compliance Status

Since NDIS businesses should follow strict rules, it’s vital to check that everything is updated. Confirm that the business is registered with the NDIS Commission and has passed all audits. Check the service agreements, staff certifications, and client consent forms to ensure everything meets the standards.

3. Understand the Client Base and Service Offerings

Look at how many active clients are on file and what services are being delivered. Make sure the services match what the market needs. Some businesses focus on support coordination, while others provide personal care. Choose a business that offers services with steady demand and low cancellation rates.

4. Look Into Staff Experience and Retention

The team behind the business plays a big role in daily operations. Check how long key workers have been around and how staff changes happen. High staff turnover means extra training costs and weak service quality. Look for a business with trained workers who know the system and have built trust with clients.

5. Study the Business’s Reputation and Online Presence

Always remember to evaluate the business name on Google, read reviews, and explore social media pages. Aside from that, a clear and active website helps bring in new clients. However, if the business has a strong online presence and a reliable track record, that’s a big plus when thinking about future growth.

6. Evaluate the Systems and Software in Place

Smart systems help save time and cut down on errors. Ask what kind of software is being used for client records, staff rosters, and payments. If the business uses outdated tools or manual methods, that could lead to problems. On the other hand, a business with efficient systems is easier to manage and grow.

7. Get Advice from a Specialist Broker or Advisor

Keep in mind that NDIS businesses are different from other service businesses, so regular brokers might miss key details. When looking for an ndis business for sale, it’s better to work with someone who understands how the NDIS works and has helped others buy or sell similar businesses. Having a good advisor will check the business value and even help with the deal structure.
