I'm Picky About What I Put on My Hair, but This New Mask From Dove Really Surprised Me

Image
I'm very specific about the types of products I use on my hair. The texture is coily and porous and has a hard time staying hydrated, so I deep condition a lot and rely heavily on thick creams and butters. Additionally, I get skeptical when I see mass beauty brands diving into textured hair care - more often than not, the products aren't as moisturizing as they claim to be - but I didn't let that stop me from putting some products from Dove's new Amplified Textures Collection to the test. The new collection launched back in January with a lineup of six products that are all sold in drugstores for $7 each. Though they're all specially designed to care for textured hair, each item's label specifies the type of hair it works best for, meaning some products work best on curly and coily hair , while others are best used on wavy hair. I was excited to give a few of the products a try, but the biggest standout was the brand's hair mask. I'll start by say

Why I'm Grabbing This Hourglass Concealer Every Single Morning While Social Distancing

Image
Now, I'm not the person who spends an hour putting on makeup when I have no plans , but I'm also not the person who breezily walks out the door bare-faced to walk my dog, either. I nearly always apply tinted moisturizer or BB cream because I consider those to be skin-care-based choices that happen to make me feel better, too. When I was able to travel , I would never take off without one of those two items (and, honestly, probably foundation as well). On my last trip, I vowed to not bring any base makeup with me and rely only on the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer ($34) that was released earlier this year . I was off to Paraty, Brazil, where it's hot and humid and the downpours are frequent. None of those things is in the friend group of a full face of makeup , so I figured why not leave my temptations at home and see how I felt when I didn't wear foundation or a close substitute? As it turns out, that experiment went better than ever . . . and since I returne

We Never Stopped to Think About What JoJo Siwa's Hair Actually Looks Like, but Wow

Image
@itsjojosiwa ayyyyyy ♬ original sound - itsjojosiwa Jojo Siwa, like Ariana Grande , is one of those stars that practically lives in one hairstyle. For Siwa, it's a straight, high side-ponytail with a color-coordinated hair bow. She wears this signature look so often, we never really thought about what she would look like without it. But in a video posted on her TikTok, Siwa traded her famous ponytail and bow to show off her naturally curly blond hair. Who knew? The rare glimpse at Siwa's hair texture occurred at the end of a TikTok where she wore different unique, colorful, and glittery outfits (very on-brand for her) before changing into a plain t-shirt and giving the camera a hair flip. The "historic moment," as some of her fans are calling it, has resulted in hundreds of reaction videos of people who were just as surprised as we were to get a peak at her curly hair. Siwa's iconic hair bow and ponytail look dates all the way back to 2015 (that we kn

Bella Hadid Shot a Whole Campaign Via FaceTime, While My Arm Gets Tired From One Selfie

Image
Sheltering in place hasn't stopped Bella Hadid and Jacquemus from creating an entire campaign . While many brands have had to hit pause on new collections because of the coronavirus crisis, Simon Porte Jacquemus found a creative way to create his Spring 2020 campaign. The French designer, known for starting the tiny bag trend , teamed up with Bella Hadid to shoot an entire collection of dreamy photos from home. The series features Bella posing in various pieces that was shot entirely through FaceTime. Yep, you read that right! While the designer acted as creative director of the shoot, photographer Pierre-Ange Carlotti took images of Bella while they were FaceTiming. I have to say, even without the full production of a regular campaign, I was pretty impressed by how cool it came out. In fact, I felt like I related even more to the campaign because it took me back to the early 2000s when Apple's PhotoBooth reigned supreme. In the pictures, Bella posed in everything from a che

This TikTok Made Me Realize Just How Strange Everyday Beauty Products Actually Are

@kennedyy.millss "WHAT IS THAT!!" ##fyp ##greenscreen ♬ original sound - kennedyy.millss Nothing makes you feel like a beauty pro quite like realizing you know more about beauty products than the next person - even if that person is someone who doesn't regularly wear makeup. One TikTok user named Kennedy Mills , for example, recently shared a hilarious video that shows her quizzing a man on his knowledge of beauty and feminine-care products. In the short clip, she shows him photos of things like a Beautyblender, a diffuser , and even a menstrual cup to try to get him to identify what each one is. As you could probably guess, he has quite a tough time. To be fair, diffusers do look pretty strange, and I probably wouldn't know what to call one if I were seeing it for the first time either, so we can cut him some slack. (We might need some answers on why he thought that Beautyblender was a tube of lip balm, though.) Mills followed up with a second video askin

The Final 3 Design Epic Pop-Up Shops in This Week's Making the Cut Episode

Image
We are down to the final three in Prime Video's Making the Cut . Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn tell the designers to pack their bags, because they're heading back to their homes. Each contestant must put together a final collection (with 12-14 looks) and conceptualize a pop-up shop that will be shown in New York City. They have one month to complete these tasks. First we head to Los Angeles to see what Jonny Cota is up to. We get to meet his husband, Frank, back at his home. But Cota wastes no time and books a flight to Bali, where he can productively create a collection. He works with craftsmen and tailor shops there that allow him to experiment with his designs. Next, we get a look at Sander Bos's home in Hasselt, Belgium. His mother, Ingrid, is incredibly supportive of his career as he works on his final challenge. The designer is confident his vision can be the future of fashion. Lastly, the show checks in with Esther Perbandt at her apartment in Berlin, Germany. She pr
