Congratulations, mama-to-be! And good for you, looking out for the health of your baby before it's even born. While the experience of pregnancy is different and personal for everyone, the one thing in common for all expecting ladies is that with pregnancy come a whole lot of changes — and among physical ones, you can expect changes in regard to your skin. If skincare is something you are mindful of, and are currently loving your carefully curated collection of beauty products, you might want to look over their ingredient lists to make sure they don't contain anything that could potentially harm your developing baby. Specific ingredients are advised to be avoided, but there are plenty of pregnancy-safe skincare products out there that can help you maintain (or get) the glow, battle dark spots or acne (infamously worsening in some women during pregnancy), nourish, heal and guard your skin — in a way that's safe for your baby.
No reason to ditch your trusted black eyeliner, but if neon, bright and bold eyeliners, eye pencils, and mascaras are something you normally never wear, you might end up having more fun with them than you expected. Neon eye makeup can be applied as a statement detail, if you're going for a trendy look, or in any other way you may discover appeals to you when you look in the mirror during play. However, do play, and here's why. Neon makeup tends to serve more the "makeup purpose of makeup" i.e. it's more about the artistic and striking decorative approach, and less about using makeup " to just look alive and presentable these days, girl!" purpose. Neon makeup wants to be seen standing out.
Festival season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our beauty game strong amidst the dancing, the elements, and the crowds. Whether a Coachella veteran or a first-timer, it's important to have some tricks up our sleeve to keep the long days and late nights all about laughter, movement and beauty, and less about hair, skincare, or makeup malfunctions.
I split my time between Tel Aviv and New York City, so I've become very familiar with Israeli beauty products, and they're some of the best I've tried. While many brands use their Israeli heritage as part of their marketing strategy — like Ahava which is known for Dead Sea mineral-rich skincare — many other popular brands show no obvious signs. It's a if you know, you know type situation.
Aside from being one of the biggest beauty trends for 2023, lustrous, healthy looking brows that are on the thicker side are, simply put, better looking than the infamous '90s single line-type shape. And they do more to frame our eyes and face, overall, so no wonder more and more brow products keep popping up. However, since this is the 21st century, when we are no longer satisfied with simply and only drawing them on and up on the daily, the stores are filled with brow growth and enhancement serums, and beauty salons offer a variety of services catering to the desire for full, natural-looking brow.
Some of us maaaay still be processing 2019, but nevertheless, 2023 is just around the corner. Lucky for us, all the beauty trends for 2023 bring in a lot of playfullness, sensory experience, mindfulness and optimism — with the primary focus on enhancing and emphasizing that which we do have, not so much altering it (significantly).
We've all come across the seemingly endless viral skincare TikTok trends like "sunscreen contouring", "face taping" and the ever-present "this product will cure your acne".
With the fall well in the air, many of us feel like cozying up inside more. 'Tis the season of hugs, after all, and we kind of want our body lotions, serums and creams to feel like they've given us a hug. In other words, to have our beauty routine feel more like a spa ritual at home than a strict regimen, especially after careful summer skincare.
There's lots to love about Lizzo's look. Shelby Swain for Matrix and ghd created those wet locks by laying Lizzo's edges with Matrix Over Achiever 3-in-1 Cream + Paste + Wax. The slick strands were finished with Matrix Vavoom Extra Full Freezing Spray and Matrix Instacure Anti-Breakage Porosity Spray. While celebrity makeup artist Alexx Mayo is behind that eye-catching lip featuring Charlotte Tilbury Rock 'n' Kohl in Bedroom Black.
Summer is still going strong. Not that we're complaining. But it's around this time of year when we get a little tired of applying tons of makeup. We're talking everything from foundation to mascara to lipstick.
Sure, there are times you want a soft, barely-there lip. But Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer, $26, is not for those moments. Instead, this highly-pigmented, look-at-me lip gloss garners all the attention (in the very best way) delivering a high-shine, vinyl-like finish that's absolutely stunning.
Who doesn't miss Kelly Killoren Bensimon from the Real Housewives franchise? Forget team Jill, we're team "bring back Kelly."

Aside from perhaps Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day is the biggest shopping holiday of the year. Which is why the mammoth e-tailer has expanded it to two full days.

Every season we're impressed by all the gorgeous haute couture collections that come down the runways. And there was no shortage of memorable moments during the Fall 2022 Haute Couture shows.

She even went on to co-host the show from season 10 through season 17. The host, actress and fitness personality hasn't just been resting on her laurels, though. A few years ago, she launched Brooke Burke Body, a fitness app with workout videos. She also started a podcast and recently announced that she has teamed up with La Plage Health & Wellness Retreat.
