Take advantage of all the epic Prime Day sales and promotions below, starting at 3 a.m. EST July 15 until tomorrow (July 16—or until supplies last, sadly). If you’re not sure what Prime Day is or what all the hype is about, allow me to explain: You know when you walk through a sale section at a store and buy things you didn’t even…
I’m a believer in taking a high-low approach to buying makeup. Although there are some products I’ll happily invest in (a designer-brand foundation, for example) there are plenty of gems I’ve found at the local drugstore. L’Oréal Paris Lash Paradise mascara is one of them. But I’m not alone in my obsession: Since first launching in 2017, Lash Paradise has catapulted to cult-favorite status, selling one tube every five seconds. And now, it’s discounted as one of the can’t-miss beauty…
Paras GriffinGetty Images I still remember the exact moment I realized the power of a good eyeliner. I was walking in the park with my soon-to-be first boyfriend when we ran into a handful of girls from high school who were definitely too cool to be talking to me. They noticed the eyeliner I had put on for this afternoon date (I rarely wore makeup back then) and started raving about my eyes. If I think about it, I can…
Getty Images As much as we love the idea of a complete before/after makeover and the transformative power that comes with a brand new cut, there’s still that 50/50 chance it could go very, very wrong. But it doesn’t have to be a leap of faith every time you pay a visit to the salon—especially when you know which hairstyles are best suited for your face shape. If yours is round (your celebrity doppelgangers include Chrissy Teigen, Priyanka Chopra, Miranda…
Getty Images No two shampooing regimens are alike—I have friends who wash their hair daily, others who can go weeks without (I personally wait every two or three days before I lather up). But however much everyone’s shampooing preferences differ, the general consensus is that sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)-laced formulas, which are found in most shampoos, are to be avoided. While the ingredient itself isn’t technically harmful or toxic (as it’s still allowed by the FDA), it’s considered to be…
Having already dabbled in the makeup and skincare world, Kylie Jenner isn’t slowing down just yet. The 21-year-old mogul is reportedly expanding her empire with the launch of a nail collection and fragrances. According to The Blast, Kylie recently filed a trademark under her Kylie Cosmetics company to produce a plethora of nail care products, including nail polish remover, nail strengtheners and nail care preparation, as well as nail polishes. And because long, acrylic nails are an integral part of…
Gigantic beauty sales can be overwhelming, I get it. That’s why I’m here to tell you about the one absolute, best, can’t-miss deal of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: $11 Diptyque candles. Considering a single Diptyque candle will cost you $36, that’s a steal. The bargain comes in the form of a set of five travel-sized priced at $55. It’s a $75 value and includes all of Diptyques greatest hits, so you can try them all and then decide which bigger…
There is nothing that takes you back in time like a scent. While I have always been a loyalist to my go-to perfume year-round (Gucci Bloom, a white floral) and even bought a baby-sized one to stash in my toiletry bag, a friend of mine once told me she always tries a new fragrance when she embarks on a new vacation. She reasons that every time she smells it, she’s reminded of that time. On my first-ever trip to Tuscany,…
The clean beauty movement is multi-faceted, but to health and wellness coach Bianca Valle, it means using products “made with really mindful ingredients”—and without sulfates, phthalates, parabens and more. Valle says she likes to target her skin concerns individually, so she uses different products for different parts of her face. For her, the key is knowing which power-packed ingredients will deliver the best results. Here, Valle runs through eight of her favorite clean beauty products to combat everyday skin issues:…
They’re tiny, they’re cute, and they’re colorful. In light of mounting photographic evidence—1,900 #beautyfridge images on Instagram and counting—a packed beauty fridge seems to have superseded the bathroom “shelfie” as the new and preferred way to show off your horde of beauty products. It’s not hard to see the allure: miniature in size and lacquered in shades of cotton-candy pink, baby blue, or lavender, these shrunken-down fridges have a leg up on the traditional kitchen appliance in both desirability and…
