I Never Wear Lipstick, Because This $9 Tinted Lip Balm Is All I Need

Image
I like to consider myself a makeup minimalist. My daily look pretty much consists of tinted moisturizer and the same orangish eyeshadow. It's a good day if I feel like adding mascara. Needless to say, I pretty much never wear lipstick, I'm much more of a lip balm kind of girl . If I want to add some color to my look, I prefer tinted lip choices because they're moisturizing and give me that tiny color pop I want. My current favorite is hands down the Billie Lip Salve ($9). You may have come across the brand on your Instagram, which is known for making affordable (and cute) razors that are delivered right to your door - but the site a few more things to offer. It just launched face wipes, a dry shampoo that our editors are loving , and the lip salve. What makes it so good? Not only does it give my lips the perfect amount of color, but it's so moisturizing, I don't feel the need to reapply constantly. What I can really get behind is the brand's mission. It all

This is Wild, but I Saw Results on My Acne Scars From SLMD's Dark Spot Fix After 1 Day

Image
I don't know what the worst part of breaking out is for me - the actual pimple or the mark that's left behind in its place of months after it heals. My skin is especially prone to discoloration and dark, red acne marks - I really don't know why - but it makes managing my combination skin type even more frustrating. I get hormonal breakouts on my jawline so I'm constantly on the hunt for products that will fade the acne marks and discoloration in that area especially. I practically bathe in vitamin C every morning and do a brightening peel mask once a week but the stubborn spots still stay put. Trust when I say it's not from a lack of trying that the marks are still visible. If there's one person I trust to know their stuff when it comes to pimples - and healing pimples - it's Dr. Pimple Popper herself, Sandra Lee, MD . And her newest product sounds like it was plucked straight from my dreams. Source: https://ift.tt/3aPQnfJ

How to Repair Hair Damage, According to a Chemist

Image
Hair damage, though common, is a different experience for everyone . Between the hair frying and styling, it might manifest in the form of split ends , dullness, or breakage. It can also feel rough in texture or break off when you brush it, and sometimes, no matter how often you attempt to treat it with a repairing mask , it can feel like not much is helping. It can be frustrating not to know the root (no pun intended) of your hair issues, and it's even more frustrating to know what's wrong and not know what to do about it - despite how many times you've tried to google an answer. For that reason, we spoke to Stephanie Riley, a chemist at Procter & Gamble - the parent company to some of our favorite hair brands like Pantene, Head & Shoulders, and Herbal Essences - to get some insight on how to treat and repair hair damage.

These Style Staples Help Nurses Get Through 12-Hour Shifts

Image
When it comes to style, nurses know this to be true: bravery sometimes takes the form of a cheerful pair of socks . When you're afforded few aesthetic freedoms at work, flashing a peek of playful style under scrubs can be a small act of defiance. Even in the face of a global pandemic, an alarming lack of protective gear, and overwhelming uncertainty, nurses forge ahead - with rainbow socks and patterned orthotics at the ready. Of course, the nurses we spoke with said much of what they wear to work is rooted in functionality. Underwear has to feel comfortable nine hours into a 12-hour shift. Sports bras have to be supportive enough to sprint securely up and down long hospital hallways without leaving painful indents on skin. And if you've ever wondered about the benefits of a good compression sock . . . just ask a nurse. Ahead, caregivers from around the country give us the lowdown on the fun and functional pieces they rely on day in and day out. Related: How to Make the

J-Lo, Sofia Richie + More Stars Who Can’t Get Enough of Funky Tie-Dye Style

Image
From red carpets to runways to street style, tie-dye is everywhere and now, with more people at home than ever, the pattern is experiencing a resurgence as fashion fans test out their own tie-dying abilities. While the pattern has been around for decades and is most famously attached to the hippie era of the 1960s and 1970s, tie-dye was embraced enthusiastically by celebrities last year in spring. Seen on the likes of J. Balvin, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid, the print in all its psychedelic glory developed and grew into a continuous motif amongst brands like Versace, seen in its spring ’20 runway, and Adidas, which recently released a rainbow-dyed sneaker collection exclusively for its Creators Club members.

If You Need a New Activity, Might We Suggest Re-Creating Kylie Jenner's Rainbow Manicure?

Image
Image Source: Getty / Taylor Hill Can't decide on a nail-polish color? Might we suggest all of them? To no surprise, Kylie Jenner has been experimenting with all sorts of beauty treatments and trends during this period of staying home. Among them is a subtle but sweet french manicure using a different color on each nail, including lilac, yellow, and lime green. The rainbow tips are nicely contrasted by a matte nude foundation. The springtime manicure feels like quite the departure for Jenner, who typically wears long, square acrylics in loud colors or featuring extravagant nail art. Instead, her nails are now much shorter and bear a more classic oval shape. What's next? No more Lip Kits? ( Kidding .) Check out the manicure below, and feel free to bust out all your polishes for your own at-home attempt.

The Never Have I Ever Cast Did a TikTok Dance and Reminded Us How Much We Miss Tank Dresses

Image
ICYMI: Mindy Kaling has a new Netflix show called Never Have I Ever , and the cast already did an amazing TikTok dance in a wardrobe staple we totally forgot about. Mindy posted a video of the girls dancing to Mad Circuit's "My Fit" in matching tank dresses - remember those? The show, which is quickly becoming everyone's new TV obsession , is executive produced by Mindy and loosely based on her life. It centers on a first-generation Indian-American girl named Devi (played by newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan ) as she navigates the struggles of boys, high school, boys, and everything in between. In the TikTok dance, Maitreyi joined castmates Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young wearing bright red tank dresses paired with white sneakers. They later switched into a light blue iteration of the same dress. Both outfits had me reminiscing of the early aughts when Britney Spears and Paris Hilton wore the style on the regular - I honestly forgot what a classic look this is! Keep

13 Foot Masks That'll For Sure Leave You With Fetish-Worthy Toes

Image
Unless you're lucky enough to live beach adjacent, it's safe to say that none of us have had a real reason to show off our toes in the past few months - considering our current state of events, it might also be a while before we're able to show them off in the summer as well. But just because most of our plans for the near future have quickly changed from hanging out poolside to chilling with a bottle of wine and our Netflix queues doesn't mean that this still isn't a prime time for some foot maintenance. We've (barely) emerged on the other side of winter, and in the same way that you'd slap on a sheet mask to give your skin some TLC after being exposed to all this cold, dry air, you should also pamper your feet and save them from being beat to hell by your boots all season long. Whether you're adding this in as a step in your at-home pedicures , or if you're just trying to soften your skin in general, ahead you'll find some of our favorite foo

Kylie Jenner Reveals the New Skims, and OMG, We're All Gunna Look Like Teddy Bears

Image
Kylie Jenner posted an Instagram of herself modeling Kim Kardashian 's new Skims Cozy Collection , which is currently, like, our favorite outfit ever . But man, the curious case of the Kardashian-Jenners and their sisterly bond . It seems like Kylie totally got away with revealing this new teddy-bear brown colorway to the world. "Oops not supposed to be showing you guys the new cozy skims," she wrote. But Kim seemed to be excited that Kylie broke the news to the world - yes, new shades are coming! - "KYLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look bomb!" she commented. So, was this planned? Kim could've teased the new sets herself, but she obviously sent this co-ord to Kylie to try out instead - and it's not the only new look Kylie revealed. If you took the time to scroll through Kylie's Instagram Story, you'd have spotted her in a gray fuzzy crop top, too. So, yes, Kylie is definitely spilling the beans with or without Kim's permission.

Petite Eva Longoria Pulls Off a Height-Illusion Trick With a High Slit Gown + Nude Stilettos From Her Own Brand

Image
Clocking in at just 5-foot-2, Eva Longoria pulled off an easy styling trick that makes her look catwalk-ready. The “Desperate Housewives” alumna paired a blush pink flowing one-shouldered gown finished with a steep high-leg slit; the cut out reveals her legs and draws attention to her strappy heels. The pose — a leaning slant — elongates the body greater than a vertical stance. Additionally, by choosing neutral-colored heels over a pop of color, the actress created a body-lengthening illusion as if her legs blended right into the towering height of her stilettos. The nude cross-front sandals come from Longoria’s eponymous footwear line that released in March in collaboration with European online retail sites  Eobuwie and Modivo.

Normal People: After Cancelling Summer Plans, I'm Living Through Marianne's Vacation Style

Image
There are pieces of Hulu's Normal People that will stick with you long after the show ends: Marianne and Connell's tumultuous love story , of course, but also the romantic soundtrack , the picturesque setting , and yes, the style. As someone who recently cancelled summer plans abroad, my eyes zeroed in on every piece of Marianne's wardrobe during her holiday in Italy. When Connell reunites with Marianne ( played by Daisy Edgar-Jones ) over their summer break, she's wearing a simple gingham shift dress with a floral design. Light, airy dresses, denim skirts, and sleeveless tops aren't earth-shattering fashion choices, but as I spend multiple days in the same sweatshirts and leggings, I feel nostalgic for the joy of packing a bag with carefully chosen items. Obviously, there are more pressing issues right now than the Madewell dress I ordered in February, but I allowed myself a little bit of envy (and a lot of aspiration) when I saw Marianne at her Trieste home for

These Leather Loafers Are Comfy Enough to Wear in the House (Plus, They're on Sale!)

Image
When it comes to shoe trends that offer sharp style and tons of comfort, it's hard to beat driving shoes. The shoes have recognizable rubber grommet-like soles that were originally designed to offer more grip while driving, but these easygoing slip-ons have a more practical purpose in our daily lives - they look like a slipper but are meant to be worn outside. If that doesn't sound like just the thing to go with our loungewear vibes , we don't know what does! Old Navy just introduced a driving-inspired slip-on shoe in four colors, and we might have to get all of them!
