Astrid StawiarzGetty Images Some beauty drama and this time, it doesn’t involve YouTube’s top beauty gurus: Cult-favorite skincare brand Sunday Riley, the one behind the popular Good Genes serum, has officially settle charges with the Federal Trade Commissions (FTC) stemming from allegations made last year that the skincare brand posted glowing product reviews on Sephora’s website to boost sales. According to the complaint filed by the FTC, “On multiple occasions between November 2015 and August 2017, Sunday Riley Skincare managers,…

David Bellemere Full disclosure: I love platinum hair. And the reason why? Because every single cool girl has it…including ELLE.com’s very own Justine Carreon. But if you are new to the land of blondes, you might have a few questions before you dive, tips first, into a giant vat of (toned) bleach. For example, how does one find that *perfect* shade of blonde? First, consider your own specific skin tone and undertone. (A good colorist can help you make that…

The line exclusively offers post-partum recovery products for new mothers—products Hirschhorn developed over two years and tested herself during her third pregnancy. The line-up includes everything you could possibly need for the often-overlooked “fourth trimester” (the immediate weeks following birth): disposable underwear, perineal cooling pad liners, perineal healing foam,…

I own a natural deodorant from Myro that doesn’t work—but it wasn’t for lack of trying. It made me smell worse. Still, I stuck it out for four long, stinky months before giving up on it for good. But this isn’t about that journey. It’s about wanting this particular one to work so badly because of its packaging: a refillable roll-up container that sold me on the idea that I could eliminate all future deodorant-related plastic by only purchasing refills.…

Megan McKenna has recently got her lip fillers removed and she’s looking as stunning as ever. The former TOWIE star, 27, shot to fame as a party girl and go-getter on the reality show, but has since curbed her love of a night out, swapping it with a drive towards her blossoming country music career. The stunning Essex-born star has famously voluptuous lips, as a result of lip fillers, but recently she followed in the footsteps of Kylie Jenner and…

It’s impossible to think of Ariana Grande without thinking of her extra long ponytail. Remember when Givenchy was trying to do a “surprise” reveal of its new celebrity face with this unmistakable silhouette (and we all immediately knew who it was?) Or when her ponytail took on a life of its own in a music video? YouTube That rapunzel-like length is all extensions, of course, so it’s always surprising that Ariana’s natural hair is actually short and curly. She took…
