Love Island winner Julia announces surprising career move following villa exit
Love Island winner Julia Majchrzak has landed a major beauty deal following her split from former villa partner Lorenzo Alessi.
The reality star, who was crowned this year's winner alongside ex-beau Lorenzo back in July, is embarking on a new career chapter after returning to her native Poland, and she's already bagged a pretty exciting opportunity.
The announcement comes after Julia revealed she was starting a new job following her return to Warsaw, telling fans on TikTok that she was stepping into something completely different.
She said: "I am starting a new job on Monday take a guess, it's something new for me.

"You guys know I've been a corporate girl, I graduated with a finance degree and I worked in finance, and now I am finally starting something so not finance related."
Well, it looks like the former Islander is officially making moves in the beauty world, with Julia having now revealed she's signed with Polish beauty brand Inglot, marking a major move away from her previous career in finance.
For anyone unfamiliar with the name, Inglot is a Polish cosmetics brand founded in 1983, specialising in makeup, skincare and beauty accessories.
The brand has built an international following, with products available in more than 90 countries and across more than 2,000 retail locations worldwide.
It's particularly known for its extensive range of colourful cosmetics, including its customisable Freedom System palettes and its popular AMC gel eyeliner.
Inglot has also collaborated with some pretty major names in the beauty and entertainment worlds, including Jennifer Lopez, with whom it launched a limited-edition makeup collection.
Julia's latest career move comes just weeks after she and Lorenzo confirmed their relationship was over, following their whirlwind romance on the ITV2 dating show.
The pair first connected when Julia entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell on day 23, while Lorenzo had been an Islander since day one.
They went on to win the series together, taking home the £50,000 prize money and leaving fans hopeful their relationship would go the distance outside the villa - sadly, however, things turned sour pretty quickly once the show came to an end.
In August, Julia publicly called out Lorenzo for liking other women's Instagram pictures before arranging a date with her.
Speaking to Capital Xtra, she said: "Guys, this is not funny. He's already embarrassed me online... He had no time to arrange a date in five days, but was sat in bed liking other girls' Instagram pictures."
Lorenzo reportedly described the situation as 'pure naivety' as the pair attempted to navigate their relationship away from the cameras.
By September, the couple had decided to go their separate ways.
Julia later explained that adjusting to life outside the villa had proved difficult, with the pair having spent weeks getting to know each other away from the pressures of everyday life.
She told press: "We’re disconnected from the outside world, from our phones… Two months removed from the world. We were getting to know each other there and getting along great, but it wasn’t real life - we were disconnected from everything.
"And then suddenly, when we entered real life, everything was quite overwhelming. But we felt the pressure; we tried to navigate it all together, but there’s a certain stress about it all."
Confirming their split on Instagram, Julia wrote: "Since leaving the villa, we’ve come to the decision to go our separate ways. Some chapters are special even if they’re not meant to last forever."
She added that their memories would 'always hold a special place in my heart'.
