We've always loved the idea of having a signature scent — there's just something so romantic about the concept. That said, we've had a tough time actually finding one... anyone else having trouble with this?
Between the "Hustlers" Oscars buzz, an engagement to A. Rod, the Superbowl halftime show announcement, and oh yeah, the fact that she's pretty much perfect at 50 (!), this is already totally Jennifer Lopez's year. But there's one more cherry on top: She's also got a brand new fragrance and it's absolutely gorgeous. Jennifer Lopez Promise Eau de Parfum, $65, blends tangerine, pear, honeysuckle, and amber for a fresh-floral scent that's feminine, romantic, and sparkling — just like her.
After testing thousands of beauty products, we've narrowed it down to a few dozen of our favorites — from quenching lotions and intoxicating scents, to razors and natural deodorants.
The cramped corridors of any backstage NYFW show can feel a bit frenzied, but there's a true sense of excitement permeating the hairspray-dense air, too. Excitement over the beautiful runway presentation that's just minutes away, excitement over the collaborate efforts of the hair, makeup, nail, and skin care teams, and excitement over the new looks — and yeah, new products — the world is about to discover. One of the coolest aspects of poking around backstage is spotting new, sometimes not yet launched, products. We're sharing nine of them with you today.
Lizzo said it best: "I thought I needed to run and find somebody to love but all I needed was some coconut oil." This line comes from the aptly-named "Coconut Oil," which was on her debut solo EP. If Lizzo and her fabulous self spent time to title and write a song about this oil, then you know it's important. (Now, if you haven't heard this song, stop everything and listen because it is pure facts! The song is one of Lizzo's early classics and still rings true today.)
The new Florence by Mills makeup and skincare line, created by "Stranger Things" breakout star Millie Bobbie Brown, may have been created with Gen Z in mind, but you don't have to be a tween/teen to appreciate its easy, low-maintenance vibe. We're especially drawn to Like a Light Skin Tint, $18, which makes your complexion look subtly better, without ever veering towards the mannequin-esque. It comes in twenty shades and gives a little glow and a little coverage, but it won't hide your freckles.

The fitness industry is absolutely ablaze, you guys — which means there's no shortage of fun new classes to try.
When it comes to vacations, one size definitely doesn't fit all. There are beach girls, mountain girls, those who love strolling through the museum, and those who prefer a rushing river. The same goes for your perfume — it's an individual thing. That's why we've come up with this handy guide: Tell us what kind of vacay you went on (or dreamed of going on) this summer, and we'll help you discover the fragrance that defines you.
Forget trends from the 80s and 90s; it's the 2000s — or "the aughts" — that are making a major comeback in both fashion and beauty. Today, we're hearkening back to the sweet, syrupy, good old days of *NSYNC, "Gilmore Girls," powder blue eye shadow, and crimped hair with a round-up of must-indulge-in beauty products. So, sit back, throw on some Britney Spears (or grungy-era Christina — or even emo-driven Death Cab, if you'd rather) and get ready for a fun walk down memory lane.

"I can't believe I waited this long to finally get a massage," I thought to myself while melting into a deep tissue treatment at the Feel Harmony Spa nestled within Cancún's Live Aqua resort (ya'll, it was so good that I actually fell asleep for a second and woke myself up with a tiny snore, #noshame). Seeing as how I tend to go months between massages — full-well knowing that I feel rejuvenated and healthier every time I actually do go — it's a phrase I tend to repeat to myself a lot.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer has been a cult favorite (and makeup artist staple) for over 20 years. But now, the much-loved formula been revamped into Natural Skin Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen, $47. This souped-up version provides the same coverage we've loved forever with the added benefits of longer-lasting hydration, improved sunscreen protection, and an expanded shade range.
This summer, fruit-scented beauty products are everywhere — even more than usual, that is. Everyone from your drugstore faves, to cutesy indie brands and even the luxe, prestige lines are hopping on the bandwagon. It makes sense: Scented beauty products are a sensorial experience — so, much like eye-catching packaging, these little extras can make a simple product seem that much more luxurious. They also offer a bit of a throwback factor... if you remember Sanrio products, magic markers or scented glitter gels from decades past, you're sure to love these fruit-scented offerings. Check out some of our favorite fruity beauty products this summer and pick some up for yourself!
Summer is shorts season — do you ever feel self-conscious about your legs? There are two things you can do about that: have some of that "IDGAF" attitude and strut with confidence... or do a little prep work with some body makeup.

The notion of a singular "signature fragrance" always felt a little confining to me, as evidenced by my current overflowing collection of perfume bottles that seem to be speckled throughout the house. I prefer to think of fragrances as a mood. Tonight, I may feel like spritzing on something spicy and warm, and tomorrow afternoon I may want something beachy and light.
You know that slathering yourself in SPF when you hit the beach is a must (as is wearing sunglasses and sitting under an umbrella), but what sunscreen should you use? In July 2018, Hawaii became the first state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinate, since researchers have found these chemicals to be potentially harmful to reefs and other life under the sea. So whether you're vacationing in Hawaii or hitting up your local beach, you may be wondering how to keep your skin safe — without causing any further damage to the environment.
In a perfect world, we'd all have perfectly bronzed, smooth, airbrushed-looking legs, no matter what season it is. Realistically, though... well, that's just not the case for most. Thankfully, many of our favorite beauty brands recognize that the struggle is real — and have gone ahead and created body foundations that'll blur and bronze your gams into supermodel perfection.
