If you like your makeup to be served vegan, you happen to be in the right place right now. Looking to February 28th, the National Vegan Lipstick Day, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to present you with some utterly delicious vegan lipstick newness; well...perhaps not delicious in the gourmet sense of the word, but most certainly vegan-inclusive.
Transitional care, i.e. skin and hair care in between seasons, may get a little frustrating from time to time: we could feel like we have just gotten used to a new routine, finally found and provided what our skin needs, and then it starts to feel like it's time to re-adjust, all too quickly. Luckily, plum oil could be that "just right" transitional partner to us.
To honor and celebrate Black History Month, we've put together a list of emerging, newly launched, as well as some long-standing Black-owned beauty businesses you should know about — because you're going to be obsessed! We can safely assume you are very familiar with Rihanna's brand, as well as that of Pat McGrath (both featured often on our pages, among others), so we wanted to introduce you to some that may be new to you and just as deserving of your (money and) attention.
The Grammys happened! The Grammy awards fall into the kind of awards ceremony where high fashion and beauty tend to be (or are encouraged to be) to be accentuated by edgy. That's always been welcome, and Grammys are, traditionally now, one of the best places for celebs to rock the experimental, very extroverted and fierce couture.
A warm welcome, at the same time, to a beauty brand launch so fresh, it's still sizzling. We are richer by a collection of nutritiously balanced and clinically responsive products created to make taking care of our skin as intuitive as eating a well-balanced diet. This cleanser has been formulated to remove daily grime, reduce shine, and prevent clogged pores (great if skin has gotten a bit oilier) and keep the microbiome happy.
Disco's back, and it's on our eyes. The latest glittery additions to the paletteverse of our lives do not disappoint: it was tough deciding on just 10, because the newest launches bring even better formulas, even more bling, and at affordable prices — seriously, the majority of these eyeshadow palettes cost less than a single cocktail.
We're not insinuating that just because V-Day is around the corner you feel like being kissed — or wanting certain someone to want to kiss you. But we're not not, either. Ah, great spells bring forth great enchantments, and we as a species are known for being ever so enchanted by — "shiny". Give it us; we love it, and we continue to discover (and practice) more ways to glitter, glisten and sparkle ourselves up.
Hey, no one said we're low maintenance. All joking aside, though, we did want to compile a list of products we would need should we find ourselves: 1) in an unexpected, getting-ready-to-go-out disaster, or in a less dramatic, but panic-provoking nonetheless, issue of being late; and 2) having a long, late night. The list includes all of these saviors, and then some — and all are gloriously pink!
Cleansing milks don't actually have much to do with actual milk, but the name rather refers to the texture of the product. And here's why you're going to love using a cleansing milk, and just when it has the chance to shine the most — with compromised, dryer-than-usual, perpetually thirsty, winter skin.
Yes, we may often fantasize about owning all designer makeup and skincare, but when it comes down to it, our beauty bags are actually quite a lesson in diversity! The trusted drugstore lip pencil which has not let us down in all these years, that super expensive concealer, but it delivers every time, a mix of an unexpected score of makeup brushes... Introducing a new product to this trusted bunch is a rare, joyful occasion, when you feel like you've scored with a new product, and realize that you absolutely will obsess over it every day. Well, liquid blushes are all the talk now, helped by the winter-girl and blush-draping trend, so if you've found yourself considering whether or not to get one, chances are, one of these is where your money will most likely land.
This year's 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards was mostly old-Hollywood glamour through and through. The ladies were overflowing in sophistication, natural beauty and elegance — the hair was either messy- or precision-styled, while the makeup trend happened to be more on the enhancement of natural features than on the artistically experimental side, keeping most of the focus on soft, but flawless complexion. Click through and enjoy the beauty looks of nominees, winners, announcers and guests alike!
Makeup tools are sooo important: you could have a great makeup product, but if your tool for applying it is less than great, the result may also be — less than great. If you're not really feeling your makeup brushes lately, or are finding it hard to get the desired results no matter how many tutorials you watch and practice, it might be time to invest in new, quality, professional makeup brushes.
"I wish everyone the Happiest New Year! I wanted to share some of my FAVORITE things I think every woman should have in 2023. Hope these goodies bring you as much joy as they've brought me...let's get into it!!" — Halle Berry.
This is a clear, flexible, texturizing wax that creates fluffy, feathered brows, no flake or crunch. The natural-matte finish has 12-hour long wear and is waterproof, humidity-proof and sweat-proof. Brows stay conditioned and nourished thanks to ingredients like candelilla wax, jojoba seed oil, shea butter and argan oil.
One of the no-skipping steps when it comes to at-home manicure or pedicure is a top coat. The final polish layer on lacquered nails, the purpose of the top coat is to ensure that the color underneath is sealed and, if the product is good, it will give the color and nails that lasting sheen we so often associate with salon-done nails. There is more to the top coat that the gloss, though; having sealed the color, it prevents premature chipping, fading and peeling. In other words, it allows us to wear our chosen nail polish for longer than one or two days, while keeping it looking fresh thus extending its wear.
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.

The silky, woody black rose and vetiver fragrance with notes of lily, spiced cloves and mahogany will delight both men and women alike.
Chestnuts, chocolates and nudes — we're not talking about a (promising) date night, but of shades of brown for those plump-looking, trendy 90's lips on a budget. You'd like a richly-pigmented lip pencil? Gotcha. Maybe a soft one? Gotcha. Long-lasting? Yes, we've got that here, too. Plus, most of these are under 10 bucks, and you can pick them up at your next drugstore or web prowl.
Pantone has announced Viva Magenta 18-1750 as the color for 2023, and what that means for us is one berry merry year. And the timing couldn't be better! Deep, but kind of muted, cool-toned raspberry-fuchsia-meets-violet shade is just about perfect for fall and winter, and can be equally flattering on cheeks, lips, eyes and nails.
