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 Tried the “Expensive Brunette” Color Trend: See Photos

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. In my world, there’s nothing better than receiving a compliment — especially when it comes to my hair. As someone with fine, dry, and sometimes unruly hair, anyone who tells me it looks good (and means it) immediately gets added to my “favorite people” list. I recently went from a brassy brunette to an expensive brunette, and in all honesty, it was life-changing. (Yes, I’m being dramatic, but also totally not.) I was born with dark-brown…

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…

Let me start off by making one thing very clear: I have never received more compliments on my nails than when I had an American manicure. If you haven’t heard of the trend yet, let me explain. It’s similar to a French manicure, but, well . . . better (in my opinion). Rather than a classic white and pink French or a clear base with a stark…

My earliest memories of LOFT date back to when it was still called Ann Taylor LOFT, when I’d tag along with my mom to help her pick out work outfits. It’s been a minute since I’ve stepped foot in a store, but recently, my TikTok algorithm (which knows me frighteningly well) served up a few trending fashion picks from the brand’s website. And honestly? LOFT is delivering. The pieces feel exactly like the aesthetic I’m reaching…

As a tarot reader, astrology enthusiast, and skin-care-obsessed writer, any opportunity where my interests blend into a single service or product? Hook, line, you got me. So, of course, when I heard about a holistic aesthetician in NYC offering facials based on her clients’ astrology, I simply had to try it for myself. Amity Murray offers customized facials and massages both for her solo clients in her…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. I generally loathe heels, but on the rare occasion that an outfit demands them, I’ll acquiesce. You won’t catch me at a wedding without a backup pair of comfortable flats, though. When I got the chance to test out a pair of heels from Elizée, an Italian brand that prides itself on luxuriously hand-crafted shoes with a focus on comfort technology, I was immediately on board. I chose the Elizée Karlie Sandals ($600), a delicately strappy,…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. Throughout the years, my eyebrow routine has taken no more than five minutes. 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,…
