Lucy Hale Hikes in Ankle Weights Over Glossy Leggings, Camo Tank & Adidas

Image
Lucy Hale is back on her workout grind in yet another leggings-centered look. The “Katy Keene” star went for a hike with a friend in Los Angeles Friday evening in an exercise-ready look. The combo included a camo t-shirt, red hoodie and glossy black leggings as well as a black ballcap  from Iconic Apparel x Feeding America. On top of her workout apparel, the 30-year-old layered on a set of her go-to blue strap-on ankle weights from Ignite by Spri. Adding in weights to your leg creates more resistance and helps to strengthen your muscles with every step; though Ignite by Spri’s pair is sold out across the web, Reehut offers a similar blue style for $34 on Amazon.com .

The Hyperpigmentation Products I Swear By For Dark Skin - all At Sephora

Image
Hyperpigmentation is the proper name for the splotchy dark spots I've been blessed with all my life (and I won't share the not-so-holy name I call them in private). Even if I haven't picked my pimples , I still get dots on my face after they settle down and, hell, even the area on my nose where my glasses rest has turned noticeably darker in the past. This is actually very common for people of color and happens because of an increase in melanin production , which then results in visible darkness in the affected area. Sure, I can cover the little spots and larger patches with concealers , but I'd rather have something that isn't just hiding the problem spots until I wash my face again. I'm hyper-cautious of products that promise to fade dark spots - which immediately makes me fear skin lightening - and always do a smaller spot test before slathering anything on my face (and would recommend this for any product, especially if you're sensitive ). I

If You're Braiding Your Hair at Home, Here's a Kit That'll Make It Easier to Get Your Supplies

Image
As braids season approaches, we know you've been spending a lot of time thinking about your next protective style, but since it hasn't yet been deemed safe for everyone to book their next hair appointment, a lot of us have been inclined to take on the process of braiding our own hair at home . And because many beauty supply stores remain closed for now, getting all of your hair braiding essentials may be a little more difficult than usual - but one brand is attempting to fix that issue. NH Beauty Supply, a beauty supply store operating out of Dallas, TX, is currently selling box braid kits that come with everything you need to successfully braid your hair at home. The Black Box Braids Kit ($44) comes with six packs of synthetic braiding hair, styling gel, a rat tail comb, hair clips, rubber bands (for anyone using the rubber band method), and braid accessories. You can obviously use it to complete whatever style you desire outside of box braids, whether it be twists, cornro

Celine, Ferragamo Accused of Racial Discrimination and False Support of the Black Lives Matter Movement

Image
When #BlackoutTuesday morphed from its initial music industry day of solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement to a social media moment for the wider public, a variety of brands quickly followed. One by one, designers and fashion labels added messages of support in the form of the little black squares that quickly took over feeds. Some went further , with donation pledges. For the majority of the brands, it was the first time they had ever spoken out against racism in a public forum.  That support may have been an historical first, but many are now questioning its authenticity as industry insiders respond with accusations of behind-the-scenes discrimination. On Tuesday, Celine posted a message on its Instagram account: “Celine stands against all forms of discrimination, oppression and racism. Tomorrow’s world will not exist without equality for all,” read the text in its little black box. View this post on Instagram CELINE STANDS AGAINST ALL F
