I've Skipped Makeup Almost Every Day While Self-Isolating, and It's Changed My Point of View

Image
Once upon a time, when our world wasn't in isolation (remember those days?), I would wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, straighten my hair, do my makeup , and go to work. In fact, if you swap work with school, it's a routine I've practiced for the past 10-plus years of my life. Sure, there'd be days I'd skip the flat iron, and there were certain AM classes I was not putting on makeup for, but you get the gist. Almost every day for the last decade, I've looked at a done-up version of myself in the mirror, and still thought I had a healthy relationship with my bare skin. After all, I didn't need makeup. I just preferred it - or at least, that's what I'd tell myself. Makeup gave me confidence . From the compliments like "You have such pretty eyes" to "Wow, your skin is glowing" ( cough , thank you highlighter and setting spray, cough ), I have experienced firsthand the power of a full face. In high school, I was dependent on i

Want to Master Sporty-Chic? White Sweatpants Are the Name of the Game

Image
I've never thought to buy white sweatpants , simply figuring I'm in my most relaxed state when I'm wearing joggers. It's likely that I'll be significantly more messy while lounging at home eating fistfuls of dry granola from the bag, right? Most of my white clothes are just begging for stains, so white sweats? IDK . . . I needed some convincing at first. But with the way I've been seeing white sweats soar to the top of the market - Skims offers the terry cloth 3-piece co-ord so many influencers are fans of and Cotton Citizen's perfect pairings are incredibly sophisticated with smartly placed pockets - I'm starting to get the appeal. Outfits that revolve around white sweats are chic and clean. They kind of require you to be a little bit more thoughtful - not only about how you style your pants, but about what you do when you're wearing them. I love the way a tapered ankle silhouette looks with a ribbed white sock and '90s mom sneakers , and I a

Amazon Has a Wide Selection of Vegan Makeup - These Are Our 12 Favorites

Image
You don't have to eat vegan to use vegan beauty products . Whether you've made the decision to switch up your eating habits or not, it's never a bad idea to take a closer look at your beauty routine and rid your makeup bag of products that use animal-derived ingredients and replace them with some plant-based formulas . That might sound like a huge undertaking, since finding a vegan makeup product means that you'll have to pay a lot more special attention to what's on the ingredient lists in your products, but the good news is that tons of makeup brands are switching up their formulas and creating vegan products that are good quality. The even better news is that a bunch of those products can be found on Amazon . Read ahead to see some of the best vegan makeup products we found on Amazon. Source: https://ift.tt/2V9bSlY

Don't Be Flaky: Try One of These Scalp Treatments From Sephora and Get Your Scalp Right

Image
If you notice flakes in your hair or it's simply looking drab , chances are there's something making its home on your head that you definitely don't want there. Depending on your own pH levels , it could be the oil from clogged follicles creating dandruff, but even if you consider your scalp on the normal-to-dry side, product buildup can still linger on the scalp long after you've showered with shampoo and conditioner. If you'd like to say a final farewell to product buildup, dead skin cells, and excess sebum, using a purifying scalp scrub once a week can exfoliate away dirt and flakes and leave your hair feeling cleaner than you've ever imagined. Beyond scrubs, other treatments like serums and oils can also help fortify follicles so hair grows back in healthier and stronger, plus treat the protective cuticle layer that locks in moisture and keeps hair looking shiny, too. Check out the best hair-care products at Sephora that tackle everything from itch

20 Style Moments From the Nanny That Prove "She's the Flashy Girl From Flushing" in the Best Possible Way

Image
Fran Drescher's role as Fran Fine on the '90s hit show The Nanny was iconic not only for her signature laugh and comedic timing but her amazing outfits as well. After all, she was "The flashy girl from Flushing, the Nanny named Fran." In case you missed it, the cast of the show recently reunited to stage a virtual table read of the iconic series' first episode. They even got Ann Hampton Callaway to sing the theme song she wrote for the show. While it's been more than two decades since the CBS sitcom went off the air, the reunion had us thinking about the show and how Fran's outfits are still very much in style. The show's costume designer, Brenda Cooper, nailed '90s fashion to the max. Fran had a knack of pulling off even the hardest of trends like every single animal-print imaginable from tiger to zebra. She often paired chic miniskirts with tailored blazers and sheer tights. We're clearly not the only ones who loved her outfits because th

How Dannijo's Danielle Snyder Is Finding Joy and Building Community During Crisis

Image
If you follow Danielle Snyder on Instagram , then you know that passion and positivity are practically synonymous with her brand. Danielle, who cofounded Dannijo with her sister Jodie in 2008 - yes, just as the recession hit - is part boss and part do-gooder, a winning combination for any business leader, but particularly important given the uncertainty that COVID-19 has cast on the world and on the fashion industry in particular. As news of the coronavirus shook brands and retailers , I found myself drawn to Danielle's thoughtful approach to social media. I avidly follow her stories and posts, which range from sharing her at-home styling tips and Boxerina workouts , to throwing a virtual birthday party for an elderly man turning 101 during the time of social distancing. The subjects vary, but the uplifting sentiment is a constant. A few days into California's shelter-in-place mandate, Danielle took her positive approach a step further. She launched a new beaded necklace, c

The "Brush Challenge" on TikTok Features SO Many Amazing Glow-Ups - Including Ours

Image
There is no shortage of TikTok makeup challenges and beauty videos out there - like the purple shampoo challenge or those "Open Up the Safe" videos - to keep you occupied right now, but there's a new one emerging that's a little different from the others: the "Brush Challenge ." This one brings makeup-lovers and friends together from a distance in a new and fun way. The purpose of the challenge is to show off your natural beauty with no makeup, before brushing the camera to reveal your most glam self. Then, you pass the brush on to the next person. To see all of the glow-ups, including one by our own POPSUGAR beauty editors, keep reading. Source: https://ift.tt/39PWvEc

The Best At-Home Acne Treatments, According to Dermatologists

Image
In an ideal world, Serena Williams could teach you how to serve, Jeff Bezos would show you how to shop , and Dr. Pimple Popper hosted free Instagram seminars . Unfortunately, this is the real world we're dealing with, and getting advice from the pros isn't always so easy. Luckily for anyone with acne-prone skin , however, we found the beauty equivalent: top dermatologists across the country are sharing the best at-home treatments that can give you clearer skin. Even better news for people who can't swing Kim Kardashian's $1,755 skin-care budget (so, everyone ?), the drugstore is bursting with effective, affordable options. Ahead, you'll find a plethora of tried-and-true acne fighters that skin-care experts recommend on the regular - including a few wildcards, like a silk pillowcase and antidandruff shampoo - so you can stock up safely (and effectively). The only thing you should avoid? "Essential-oil-based acne treatments and charcoal masks because of th

Sarah Hyland Cutting Fiancé Wells Adams's Hair For the First Time Couldn't Be Cuter

Image
Wells Adams, like many people out there right now, was in desperate need of a haircut and unable to get to a barber shop when he turned to his fiancé, Sarah Hyland , to give him an at-home trim. The whole thing was documented on Instagram Stories on both Adams and Hyland's accounts as she tackled the task of shaving his head in their bathroom. "This has gotten too much," Adams said at the start of the Instagram Story , gesturing at his hair. He then held up a hair clipper. "How many times have you cut a man's hair, Sarah?" he asked her, as she held up her hands in the shape of a "big fat zero." Prior to this endeavor, she had never even used a trimmer before. Once they got down to it, a sped-up video showed Hyland's progress as she cut Adams's hair. After she was finished, Adams assessed her handy work and showed it off for the camera. "She did a pretty good job," he said. And we'd have to agree. See more photos from t

Rita Ora Makes Lacy PJ Shorts + Knee-High Rain Boots Look Surprisingly Chic

The 29-year-old pop star posted a series of photos on Instagram today of herself outside for a walk as she continues to practice social distancing.

Buying New Jewelry Puts Me in a Great Mood - Here Are 12 Pieces All Under $25

Image
There's something to be said about the power of scrolling through pretty pictures online. Whether it's in your Instagram feed or on your favorite retailer's site, looking at inspirational and colorful fashion trends definitely has the ability to put a smile on my face. Which is why I regularly turn to simple pleasures like scanning for affordable new jewelry. A red hoop that pops or a trio of necklaces gets my mind going. "What would I wear with those?" or "How would I style my hair with those earrings?" So when I'm looking for a quick mood boost I turn to Old Navy for its wide assortment of affordable jewelry. This month the retailer is fully stocked with all sorts of bright pieces, from earrings to necklaces. I've added a few to my cart already, and I'm starting to think about the makeup or hairstyles I'll wear to complement each new piece.

Kylie Jenner Reunites With Kris Jenner for a Shoe-Filled TikTok Video

Image
Kylie Jenner has reportedly completed over two weeks of self-quarantining and is celebrating being able to see her mom again in a TikTok challenge. Using a popular sound on the content sharing platform, Kylie reunited with her mom Kris Jenner and her mom’s beau Corey Gamble for a video in front of one of their top-of-the-line shoe walls. As they danced and joked with Stormi in tow, too, you could spot chic styles like multiple pairs of Valentino Rockstud pumps — similar silhouettes retail for upwards of $1,075 — as well as pieces from Manolo Blahnik and more designer brands. @kyliejenner pew pew pew ♬ Pew Pew Pew – Auntie Hammy CREDIT: Courtesy of Bergdorf Goodman Buy: Valentino Rockstud Caged Pumps $1,075 Buy it Kris dressed up in a furry coat and a matching hat while Kylie layered an all-black look, holding her 2-year-old daughter Stormi in a mini Burberry dress.

Miley Cyrus Was Coached Through Trimming Her Bangs - For a Second Time - Over FaceTime

Image
Never one to shy away from self-expression and trying new things, last week Miley Cyrus ever-so-boldly decided to give herself a DIY bang trim at home. However, she joked during one of her Instagram Live episodes of Bright Minded that the result was more Tiger King than she was originally hoping for. Nevertheless, Cyrus didn't let it get her down and marked the occasion as a lesson learned rather than a regret. To help remedy the situation, celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger came to Cyrus's rescue and helped her fix her hair virtually over FaceTime: "Miley called and also commented on my Instagram post to let me know that she had butchered her bangs," Hershberger told POPSUGAR. "The initial issue was that Miley's bangs were too short and because she used thinning sheers, her bangs started to pop up." On the call, Cyrus went in to trim her bangs for a second time, but this time with Hershberger guiding her the whole way through. Source: ht

Reese Witherspoon did the monochrome look in head-to-heel black as she walked her dogs in Los Angeles on Monday. The “Little Fires Everywhere” actress wore a black crewneck sweater with matching running shorts. She accessorized with a hot pink belt bag from Rebecca Minkoff, which added a bold pop to the otherwise neutral look. Reese Witherspoon goes for a walk in Los Angeles on April 6.

Katharine McPhee Tried on Her American Idol Dress From '06 - How Are You Staying Busy?

Image
We can always dig a good American Idol throwback moment , and Katharine McPhee just offered us our daily dose with a flashback to her season five performance of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." The 36-year-old singer slipped into her plunging, button-front marigold halter dress that she wore during the memorable moment, posing with a microphone and all. "It's day 26 of quarantine and we're breaking out dresses from 14 years ago. Might have to resurrect this moment, on a red carpet, once we are out of this," she captioned her Instagram, referring to the sheltering in place mandate we have all been experiencing. Of course, this spontaneous fashion moment sparked plenty of comments from fans and Katharine's famous friends, like Katie Couric, who wrote, "I could not fit into a dress from two years ago," and Amber Farr, designer of bohemian dress label Flynn Skye: "That dress is fire." We love that Katharine brought a little ch

Saoirse Ronan's Best Fashion Moments Through the Years: From Lady Bird to Little Women

Image
Saoirse Ronan has won over 60 awards for her impeccable acting, and she's only getting started. But her talent for creating unforgettable moments isn't limited to the big screen. It extends to her enviable sartorial skills, which only get better with each red carpet appearance. Saoirse may have been acting since she was a wee one, garnering international recognition for her role in Atonement (2007) alongside Keira Knightley , but it was her breakout role in Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird (2017) that saw her adult debut. The moment that Saoirse accepted her best actress Golden Globe award for Gerwig's critically acclaimed film was the moment her personal style got stronger, and her confidence on the red carpet noticeably improved. Before her big win in 2018, Saoirse dressed like any other stylish 20-something - in body-hugging midi dresses. Since she's grown into her Hollywood persona, she's taken some wonderful risks on the red carpet. Saoirse certainly loves a

10 Spring Pieces From Our Favorite Affordable Fashion Brand

Image
& Other Stories sometimes flies under the radar when it comes to affordable fashion brands. Owned by the larger H&M conglomerate, the little sister brand is more curated, more refined, but oh so good. Launched in 2013, & Other Stories initially only opened seven stores throughout the EU before eventually expanding to the United States and beyond, now calling 46 stores in 12 countries its own. While I'd like to assert that & Other Stories is always my go-to when it comes to that runway-ready piece that I've been eager to add to my seasonal wardrobe , might I add that it's particularly well-stocked right now? And, as we are largely secluded to our homes, passing the time with a little online shopping can be something of a mood lifter. From the perfect floral midi dress to a chunky cardigan (that I personally love to wear as a top ), an eyelet-detailed button-down shirt, and a chunky chain necklace to go with, the chic offerings are seemingly endless.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis's Entire Family Were Twinning in Green Pajamas - Even the Dogs

Image
Tallulah Willis is giving us the WFH outfit inspiration we need, want, and deserve. The actor shared a very festive photo of herself, parents Demi Moore and Bruce Willis , sister Scout, and family wearing matching green striped pajamas - and even their dogs got in on the twinning action. "Chaotic neutral", Tallulah captioned the photo of Bruce and Demi arm in arm, sister Scout throwing her leg up in the background, and Tallulah's boyfriend, Dillon Buss, doing his best blue steel while holding a tiny puppy, and of course one of the family's adorable dogs - also in matching green striped pajamas - passed out on the couch. Tallulah also shared a larger family photo to her Instagram Stories, featuring Scout's boyfriend, Jake Miller, and three more stylish pups. The family's matching Green & White Stripes Pajamas set ($30) is from sleepwear brand Leveret clothing. Leveret specializes in twinning lounge sets for "woman, man, baby, doll and dog,"

I'm Wearing Loungewear on Rotation These Days, and There's a Ton on Sale at Old Navy

Image
I notice a huge difference in both my productivity and mood when I wake up in the morning and change into a cute loungewear set versus whatever t-shirt and sweats I reach for. And as someone who's been working from home full-time since January, I have a lot of personal data to back up this claim of mine. Wearing cute loungewear at home feels like I'm ready for the day, and sometimes even inspires me to throw on bright earrings and do my makeup while I'm enjoying my morning coffee. If you're feeling like you could use a healthy boost of new loungewear for your lifestyle, you'll be happy to know it's all on sale right now at Old Navy. Here are my top picks.
