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…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. When I turned 25, I started dealing with breakouts for the very first time. 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…

    I Tried a Rejuran Salmon Sperm Facial: Review

    PS Photography | Michele RossPS Photography | Michele Ross I’ve never been to Walt Disney World, but I’d go as far as to say that K-beauty capital Seoul, South Korea, is actually the most magical place on earth . . . at least for a skin-care obsessive like me. Over the past few years, I’ve tried dozens of aesthetic treatments in the city. Some are popular stateside, like radiofrequency microneedling and lasers, while others are more uniquely Korean, such as Aqua Peels (a lighter version of HydraFacials) and skin Botox. The most eyebrow-raising of the bunch is Rejuran, which has gone viral in the US in part thanks to celebrity…

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…

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…

If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. My haircare philosophy has always been rooted in tradition. Growing up in a Black household, Jamaican black castor oil was the gold standard: trusted, time-tested, and deeply woven into our haircare routines. Anything too clinical or serum-based felt overly complicated and, honestly, a little impersonal. Oils also meant growth. So when I first came across the OneSkin OS-01 Hair Peptide Scalp Serum ($62 for one-month supply, originally…

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,…

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,…
