If you’ve been considering and doing research into lip fillers, you’ll have almost certainly come across the “Russian lip technique” on your Google or social media travels.This method of injecting lip filler is increasing in popularity thanks to Instagram, where hundreds and hundreds of posts show some very impressive lifted lip results. If you haven’t heard of the Russian lip technique, or you’re not quite sure what the look is, Dr Rhobaye, plastic surgeon and facial aesthetics specialist at Sloane Clinic on Harley Street, explains that the process involves injecting filler vertically into the lip, drawing out to the outer edge.The result is a defined and lifted top and bottom lip with a heart-like shape.

Meghan Markle is said to be "nervous" ahead of her reunion with the Royal Family during the Queen's Jubilee, a royal expert has said.The Duchess of Sussex, 40, is due to jet to the UK from the US later this week alongside her husband Prince Harry and their children Archie, two, and Lilibet, who turns one on 4 June.

Marta Balaga French filmmaker Léa Mysius follows her nose in “The Five Devils,” focusing on the sense of smell. That’s her protagonist’s special gift, one that scares her mother (“Blue Is the Warmest Color” actor Adèle Exarchopoulos) but allows her to venture beyond the constraints of time and space.Shown in Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight – with Wild Bunch on board – it’s Mysius’ second feature film as a director following “Ava,” awarded at the French fest in 2017. She also co-wrote Claire Denis’ “The Stars at Noon,” presented in the main competition.“It all started when I was a kid – I was fascinated by smells,” Mysius tells Variety.“Together with my sister, we had fun making these little potions.

Given the combustible subject matter and the director’s reputation, French auteur Claire Denis has made a remarkably listless and unpersuasive film in Stars at Noon. Set during the Nicaraguan Sandanista revolution circa 1984, this adaptation of Denis Johnson’s novel published two years later centers on a couple of Americans of dubious character who misspend time in Central America before finally deciding it’s time to split when, in fact, it might be too late. This is the sort of misfire that, just because it comes from a hallowed French auteur, sometimes gets programmed in the Cannes competition even when it manifestly doesn’t deserve to be there.

“The Five Devils,” from French director Léa Mysius, captivates from its very first seconds. We see Adèle Exarchopoulos in a sparkling gymnast outfit with other similarly dressed girls, all watching an enormous fire in the background; when she turns around, she is crying — fire, beauty, passion and death all conveyed in one image.

Every child learns at a young age that smell and memory are closely linked, but what if one special child could harness that connection to her own ends? That’s the premise behind “The Five Devils” (“Les cinq diables“), the second feature from writer-director Léa Mysius that stars Adèle Exarchopoulos of “Blue Is the Warmest Color” fame. “The Five Devils” will premiere this weekend in the Director’s Fortnight section of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
