If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Growing up, I didn’t think I had much in common with Taylor Swift. I mean, one of us sang in front of millions of people for a living, and the other did imaginary sold-out world tours in the shower. Still, there was always something I loved about the star, and that’s her affinity for a bold red lip. Whether she is fresh-faced or wearing a full beat, Swift has been known to keep her signature lip color close by, and ever…

There’s nothing like putting the finishing touches on an outfit you know you look good in. Whether it’s swiping on those chic new sunglasses you bought, picking out your earrings, or spritzing on a delectable scent before you head out the door, each step can give a huge kick-start to your day. Still, with the seemingly endless number of fragrance options on the market these days, figuring out that last part can be hard. That’s why it helps to narrow down the categories: do you like the smell of fresh…

As someone with combination skin, the arrival of summer or traveling somewhere warm can mean that my makeup starts to wither away within the first few hours of wear. Yes, even if I’m wearing a waterproof eyeliner or a mattifying, longwear foundation, I’m giving melted. Thankfully, as an avid user of social media, I came across a viral setting spray that I just had to get my hands on and it’s my new secret weapon for surviving the heat.

    Mate the Label Waffle Set Review 2024 With Photos

We can go from gorgeous 75-and-sunny days to “May gray” within a few hours. Plus, my apartment tends to skew on the chilly side, so I pretty much live in lightweight loungewear both while I’m working from home and when I’m hanging around the house during the weekend. That being said, I have a few requirements for my loungewear. Obviously comfort is top of mind — cotton or linen are my go-tos when the weather is beginning to warm…

    Keys Soulcare Smoothing Peptide Cream Review With Pics

While I’ve always loved Alicia Keys for her countless hits, like “No One” and “You Don’t Know My Name,” there’s one thing that I’ve admired above all else — her skin. I didn’t start wearing makeup until I turned 21, so taking care of my face was always a top priority. Luckily, my skin-care routine, featuring tried-and-true products like my go-to witch hazel toner, has kept my skin in good shape so far. However, going through basic maturity has caused me to pay a bit more attention to my complexion,…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. I’m constantly waiting for E.l.f. to debut a new launch that disrupts the industry. It endlessly impresses me and others in the beauty world, and for good reason. Not only is it able to quickly come out with its own versions of viral formulations, but often, it manages to improve on them even more. That’s why I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the brand-new E.l.f. Skin Bronzing Drops ($12). At first glance, the product immediately reminds me of other…

    Best Blow-Dryer Brushes 2024, According to Editors

    Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Unsolicited fun fact: if I had to use just one hair tool for the rest of my life, it would be my Shark blow-dry brush — yup, the one you’ve seen all over TikTok. The buzzy multistyling tool has single-handedly transformed my hair routine, making styling my thick and wavy hair significantly easier. It cuts down on styling time, smooths my frizz, and gives my hair so much volume that it looks like I just got a professional blowout. Admittedly, though, the Shark dryer wasn’t the tool that put me…

Although I firmly believe that eyebrows are the window to the soul, not the eyes, I still think they carry some weight — even more so if they’re wearing the right mascara. Although my go-to makeup pick is usually bronzer, I can see the value in a good mascara, especially for someone with eyelashes like mine. My lashes have gone from short and stubby to long thanks to an eyelash serum, but they’re still hard to see when I’m makeup-free. I recently started using an invisible mascara hack that gives…

    Billie Dermaplane Starter Kit Review With Photos

    Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. After briefly experimenting with Dorco Tinkle razors a couple years ago, I gradually fell back into my bimonthly routine of bleaching the hair on my upper lip with Sally Hansen Extra Strength Crème Hair Bleach. Don’t worry, I’m fully aware that dermaplaning doesn’t cause hair to grow back thicker; however, growing up, my mother always advised me to remove as little hair as possible (I still don’t shave above my knee cap). The mentality just stuck — even if there’s no convincing reason behind her theory. Through the years, I’ve…
