Even when I know I should brush my teeth, get my butt in the shower, and get into bed, sometimes I find myself slowly climbing onto my bathroom counter, situating myself comfortably in my sink, and then going to town on my face in front of my well-lit mirror. Is it wrong? Yes. Does it sometimes feel…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. As a beauty girl, if there’s one category I know best, it’s hair. Sure, I love makeup, manicures, and massages just as much as the next person, but hair is where I really thrive. I love testing the latest gadgets, I’m always the first to offer to style my friends’ hair, and I view standing in my bathroom while giving myself a blowout as a form of free therapy. So, when I heard Shark was launching…

I was lucky in high school and college, but as a grown adult with a fully formed frontal lobe, I all of a sudden started experiencing acne — and I had no idea what to do about it. Now, I keep my hormonal acne under control with the help of oral medication, but I still break out when I use products that…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. As much as I consider myself a makeup novice, there’s one category I’ve always considered myself a professional in: lip gloss. I’ve been obsessed for as long as I can remember and have always kept an extensive collection: Lip Smackers, Baby Lips, Expressions — you name it! — I had it. That obsession stuck with me into adulthood, so I carry at least four of them in my purse. I take serious pride in that, especially…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. We recently gave our bathroom a light-lift renovation, swapping out the bulky, ’80s-era medicine cabinet for an arched mirror, replacing the sconces with Etsy finds, color drenching the walls, ceiling, and door in a pistachio-hued paint, and hanging art. After decanting our shampoo and conditioner into dark, amber-colored bottles, I tumbled into a rabbit hole of luxury hand soaps, as one does. When I discovered British luxury fragrance and personal care brand, Molton Brown, I was…

    Best Australian Beauty Brands to Know in 2025

    Image: Sephora AustraliaWhile Australian beauty follows global trends, it stands out for a few key things. First, thanks to the super-strong sun, sunscreens and SPF-infused skincare are core components. Many brands prioritise high-performance, often reef-safe, sun protection that doubles as skincare. Aussie beauty also leverages the country’s unique and potent native flora. Ingredients like Kakadu plum, tea tree oil and quandong are frequently found in formulations. And finally, it embodies the laidback, “no worries” attitude of its residents. Skincare and makeup routines are simpler, focusing on fewer products that deliver effective results without overly complex steps. The aim is often a healthy, glowing complexion rather than a heavily made-up look.…

I’ve always had naturally thick brows, so I’ve never felt the need to manipulate them. And even during eras like 2000s skinny brows and or laminated brows, I was the girl who rocked natural brows (not even threading or waxing). As I got more acquainted with doing my makeup, I started trying brow pencils,…

Being a shopping editor is almost synonymous with being a product guinea pig — especially for beauty. I’ve had my fair share of trying the best (and weirdest) products approved by TikTok and celebrities, but I still had yet to try an LED mask. I’ve seen them everywhere, from my FYP to my Instagram feed, but being a minimal skin-care routine girl, I never gave into the…

    I Tried Sydney Sweeney’s Bathwater Soap

    I feel pretty clean for having just showered with someone else’s bathwater. Yes, you read that right. In all fairness, the water once belonged to “Euphoria” it-girl and Gen-Z bombshell Sydney Sweeney. It comes encapsulated in an unassuming turquoise bar of Dr. Squatch soap (aptly named “Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss”), has already sold out, and is continuing to inspire some passionate think-pieces. While supporters applaud Sweeney for profiting off the very demographic that sexualizes her, others say her pandering to men is setting women back decades. Admittedly, her “hey boys” advertising isn’t exactly subtle. But marketing aside, people have also expressed some valid concerns about washing with a celebrity’s old bathwater.…
