When I vocalized to the ELLE.com office that I was struggling with pain from grinding my teeth while I sleep—and thinking about getting botox in my jawline—my coworkers Ariana, Kat, and Madi immediately vocalized that they also suffer from jaw pain from unintentional grinding. “What is wrong with you people?” asked Nikki, our style director. It made me wonder: What was wrong with us? Why was teeth grinding such a common complaint that, to me at least, popped up more…
Tip #5 Don’t use concealer as a primer If you want to avoid that dreaded creasing on your eyeshadow throughout the day, Parsons advises against using concealer on the eyes as a base. “Forget about the primer, forget about the concealer. Just start with a waterproof shadow stick, blend it out with a brush so you have a sheer layer, then go in with a little bit of powder in the crease. You won’t get any creasing that way,” Parsons…
On Valentine’s Day you likely saw roses everywhere, being carried to girlfriends, wives, husbands, boothangs and loved ones across your city. But, the power of a rose can last a lot longer than a February 14th bouquet, and we’re not talking about hanging a few flowers upside down on your wall to dry. Instead, we mean rose oil. Below, Haven Spa NYC esthetician Mariola Barczewska broke down everything you need to know about the trendy beauty ingredient. It’s time to…
Promotes Weight Loss How: The fiber found in avocados—which is more than in many traditional fruits—allows you to feel full longer and improves digestive health. According to Adita Yrizarry-Lang, a holistic lifestyle coach, health professional and author in Miami, “When it comes to weight loss, fiber is a big plus: It helps to clean us out our system and feeds our good bacteria, helping us digest all of our other food choices in a better manner.” Additionally, oleic acid, the…
Instagram@adrianalima via Ysa Perez In a world where many models claim their beauty secret involves “just drinking a lot of water,” and that they love “eating a burger once in a while,” it’s refreshing when someone like Adriana Lima heads to Instagram to get candid about all the measures she takes, sharing sweaty selfies after boxing workouts and photos of her strictly planned healthy meals. She treats her body as an athlete would, so it’s no wonder she became the…

Gel manicures are one of the greatest beauty inventions. They’re chip-resistant and have longevity no regular nail lacquer could compete with. I’d get them all the time if there wasn’t one glaring downside: Removal. I dread getting gels because they can’t come off with a simple swipe of acetone. Nope, you have to soak and wait and file it off. It’s a whole process I don’t have time for. Also, don’t even get me started on the fact most salons…
Instagram/@songofstyle via Sophia Li It’s time to dig up your stash of Goody because barrettes, the hair accessory from your childhood, are making a comeback. New York Fashion Week attendees have anointed them the “it” accessory to wear. From traditional snap clips (a trend we started seeing in 2018), to bejeweled clips that say words like “feelings” and “anxiety,” barrettes are a surefire way to stand out among the street style set. They’re typically worn just on one side, with…
CHRIS COLLS Sun protection is a must for your skin and your hair. “Hair could be compared to a beautiful piece of fruit, having an outside ‘skin’ like the hair’s cuticle to protect it. Once the outside of either gets damaged, the inside loses its excellence,” says Kate Reid, editorial colorist and Design Director of COLOR.ME by Kevin Murphy. “Color, strength, and moisture all [get] lost much faster as it has no protection.” “If you don’t protect your hair, the…
Don’t tell Ariana Grande, but the high ponytail is dead. At least, that’s the case according to New York Fashion Week Fall 2019. So far, we’ve seen countless runways shows with models in low ponies and it seems to signal that the tight, high, “snatched,” ponytail trend popularized by celebrity hair stylists like Chris Appleton (who works with Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez) and Jen Atkin (who works with the Kardashian-Jenners and Bella Hadid) has reached its end. Good…
