The Palestinian-Dutch supermodel and founder of Orebella has made frequent visits to the UAE as she returned to the Middle East to attend the Orebella and Ulta Beauty Pop-up.

This week, Ulta Beauty, an American beauty retailer well-known for its wide range of skincare, fragrance, and makeup products, launched its first store in Kuwait at the Avenues Mall on the 7th of this month.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on the 9th of November 2025 at the Central Gallery Mall of the Emirates.

As the brand ambassador of Ulta Beauty, Bella Hadid attended the event where she had conversations with fans and talked about how fragrance represents personality and her hope to share that with the UAE, which she considers her home “spiritually, even though not geographically” as she put it.

“When I think of the Middle East, I think about fragrance, it goes back to my teta [‘grandmother’ in Arabic], and my aunts and uncles having these fragrances they would mix for themselves, or would wear for 45 years, that were such a part of their personalities; I hope ‘Ôrebella can be one version of their personalities, as well.”

Although the launch was significant, Bella Hadid’s presence drew the most attention  with fans taking to social media to congratulate her.

When two leading brands collaborate, we expect something worth it. This isn’t far from the truth following the collaboration between Rare Beauty and BEIS to create something that combines the best of both beauty and travel.

The collaboration is simple: Launch a limited-time edition collection that allows beauty enthusiasts to stay ready on the go especially while travelling.

Rare Beauty, founded by Selena Gomez, is a beauty brand with the mission of helping women celebrate their individuality by redefining beauty standards. BEIS, on the other hand is a travel accessories company founded by Shay Mitchell inspired by her own frustrations with lack of functional travel gear.

Why these brands? According to an exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan, Shay explains:

“It just came together so naturally. Rare Beauty and BEIS both create essentials that empower people to feel confident and express their individuality. Whether it’s through a makeup bag or makeup itself, both of our brands embrace making everyday moments feel special.”

The collection was launched yesterday, November 3rd 2025,  and included:

• The Blush Case in Rare Beauty’s fan-favorite Soft Pinch Shade Worth.

• The Makeup Brush Pouch with wipeable lining and elastic loops.

• The Large Cosmetic Pouch for convenience and organization of makeup essentials.

The collection sold out quickly with fans urging for a restock. If it eventually gets restocked and you’d like to purchase before it sells out again, visit beistravel.com and rarebeauty.com to make a purchase.

The collaboration between BEIS and Rare Beauty fits into the current trend of balancing the need for functional travel accessories and quality on-the-go beauty essentials, which explains why it sold out within hours of the launch.

This collaboration was definitely one of the year’s best. We hope the collection is restocked soon and look forward to more iconic collaborations.

Details of the Controversial Livestream

Huda Mustafa received a call from a viewer who used the racial slur while discussing her Love Island co-star Olandria Carthan during a recent livestream with her boyfriend Louis Russell from Netflix “Too Hot To Handle”. After a brief moment of laughter, Huda and Louis abruptly hung up. Her failure to confront the racist comment about her co-star went viral and the short clip quickly spread across social media.

However the influencer later took to X (formerly Twitter) and issued a public apology after reflecting on her behavior. She noted her intent to take full accountability, writing.

“Olandria – it is now clear that this comment was targeted at you, and I apologize for my immediate reaction. My reaction in that moment came from being caught off guard, not from finding the word or situation funny. It was a nervous, uncomfortable reaction that I recognize was inappropriate.”

She ended with a promise to donate to the NAACP, urging others to follow suit.

The incident has sparked a broader discussion about the responsibilities of public figures and influencers when it comes to addressing abusive language. Social media users and advocacy groups have stressed the need for accountability and cultural awareness, saying that even small actions can have a big effect on communities. The incident reminds us of how much important it influence public figures hold and the need to act responsibly online.
