Serena Williams Combats Dark Circles With This $30 Eye Cream

Serena Williams is a super star in every aspect of life. Along with being one of the greatest tennis players of all time, she also recently started her own makeup and skincare line (aptly named Wyn), and has been busy raising her two daughters. Despite leading such an active lifestyle, the multi-hyphenate looks far from tired — and it’s partially thanks to her well-curated skincare routine.

16 Celeb-Loved Beauty Products Starting at Just $6

Much like her tennis skill set, Williams didn’t just develop the ultimate skincare regimen overnight. In a recent Vogue Beauty Secrets video, the multi-hyphenate details that it’s taken over 20 years to develop a system that works for her skin. “I started having a skincare routine when I was a teenager, because you know when you’re a teenager you start getting pimples,” she explains. “I needed to make sure that my skin was pretty clear. And I was always in front of a camera, because I was always playing tennis in some stadium somewhere.”

Much like her serve, Williams wanted her skincare routine to be “the best,” and though it’s taken time, she’s found a stellar lineup of products that work for her. One of her all-time favorite formulas? The affordable La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Eye Cream, which combats the look of tired eyes and helps her appear well-rested, even when she’s not.

Get the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Eye Cream for $30 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, April 26, 2024, but are subject to change.

“I like it because it’s small. I can travel with it,” Williams says of the $30 eye cream. Compared to other La Roche-Posay formulas, this one flies relatively under the radar — but it still packs a nourishing punch. Made with a calming mix of niacinamide, thermal spring water and neurosensine (a skin soother), the sensitive skin-friendly cream diminishes dryness and helps restore the delicate eye area’s moisture barrier. Williams dots just a tiny bit under the hollows of her eyes morning and night to ensure her eyes look perky and stay well hydrated.

Though the eye cream isn’t a hero product from the brand, thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by it, especially when they’re dealing with some serious dehydration. “I’m 43 years old and the skin around my eyes, especially my eyelids, were so dry and flakey and wrinkled looking. I had to make a change in what I was using,” writes one reviewer. “Switched to La Roche Posay for eye makeup remover and eye cream and my skin is cured and moisturized. I use the eye cream before bed and after my shower in the morning. So thankful. It’s looks so good.”

If you’ve really been struggling with under-eye dryness or are simply looking for a reliable eye cream, take a cue from Williams and add this to your cart. It could just solve all of your problems!

My Most Worn Item of Clothing? T-Shirt Dresses — Get This Pick for Under $20

I have a confession to make: I’m lazy when it comes to fashion. That’s really weird to say considering I went to fashion school (shout-out to FIT!), but truthfully, I prefer wearing comfortable clothes over flaunting the latest trends most days. Beyond prioritizing comfort, I find it to be such a drag trying to pair tops and bottoms together. I almost always opt for dresses because they’re simple, effortlessly stylish and don’t really require additional accessories!

5 'Boring' Basics That Are Still Popular Fashion Trends

Some people might think that dresses are way too, well, dressy for everyday activities. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth! Just take a look at any T-shirt dress. I have about five different T-shirt dresses for my casual park hang and errand running days because they feel like an oversized version of my favorite shirt. Plus, no matter what shoes or accessories I pair with them, I always feel put together.

After perusing through Amazon the other day, I came across the best-selling Amazon Essentials Jersey Oversized T-Shirt Dress and knew I had to add it to my growing collection — and not just because it’s under $20 (which, honestly, really can’t be beat).

Get the Amazon Essentials Jersey Oversized T-Shirt Dress for $19 on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, April 5, 2024, but are subject to change.

After reading reviews from over 4,000 shoppers, I had a feeling this could become the best T-shirt dress I own. My one strife with the T-shirt dresses already in my closet is how short they are. Shoppers mention that the oversized construction on this Amazon favorite ensures that they’re able to avoid any wardrobe mishaps since it hits mid-thigh — and it won’t shrink over time since it’s made from soft rayon rather than cotton.

The rave reviews don’t stop on that minor care detail that makes a world of a difference, though. “The oversized fit is pure comfort – perfect for breezy summer days or paired with leggings for a cozy winter look,” one happy customer writes. “The fabric is a game-changer. It has this lovely lightweight feel, making it a top pick for warm weather. I’ve practically lived in them since I got them. Whether I’m lounging at home, running errands, or out for a casual dinner, these dresses are my go-to. If they ever decide to make long tees in the same dreamy material, I’d stock up in a heartbeat. Until then, these dresses are my wardrobe MVPs!”

I’m not one to regularly shop on Amazon, but I purchased three of these after reading the reviews. If you’re looking for a no-brainer dress to wear throughout the spring in summer months, you’d be smart to do the same!

Rachel Bilson Constantly Wears These Bestselling Sneakers — And They're On Sale Today!

It baffles me how some of Hollywood’s elite manage to keep up with their busy lifestyles — especially when they have children. I simply can’t imagine zipping around the world to attend press events and film movies while taking care of little ones. There simply isn’t enough time in the world! Still, superstar moms somehow do it all, but not without a little help.

21 of the Best Dresses to Wear With Sneakers This Spring — All Under $40

Let me clarify: I’m not talking about help from personal assistants to keep them on track or makeup artists to ensure they always look incredible. I’m actually referring to their footwear. Think about it: It’s nearly impossible to function if you don’t have a solid pair of sneakers — and that sentiment rings true for the rich and famous too. In fact, countless celebrity moms swear by one specific sneaker brand: Hoka. Rachel Bilson may be one of the biggest Hoka fans. She’s always spotted wearing her trusty Bondi 8 Sneakers. Most recently, she stepped out in Pasadena on March 23 wearing her well-loved bright yellow pair.

Get the Hoka Women’s Bondi 8 Sneakers for $132 (originally $165!) at Zappos!

It comes as no surprise to me that Bilson adores these kicks. I own two pairs myself! The bouncy shoes are some of the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever tried and genuinely feel like I’m walking on air. I know what you’re thinking — how can such chunky shoes feel light as air? Well, it comes down to Hoka’s billowing foam design that maintains weightlessness and provides your arches with optimal support. I can attest that these bad boys keep me going through marathon days, and it comes as no surprise to me that Bilson also relies on them.

While they’re designed as a running shoe, you don’t need to be a hardcore runner to enjoy Bondi 8s. The unique cushiony design keeps your feet well-supported through various activities, including dance classes or leisurely walks through the park. Plus, they’re pretty durable. I have to wash mine probably once or twice a month since I own light colors, but otherwise, they look good as new.

Along with Bilson (and myself), thousands of Zappos shoppers swear by these Hokas for everyday life. “These shoes were so comfortable and supportive right out of the box,” one reviewer mentions. “I needed a wide platform to walk on after knee surgery. I feel very stable and confident walking in these shoes. I would highly recommend! Beautiful color combo also.”

Between the reviews and the celebrity clientele, the Hoka Bondi 8s come out on top as one of the most comfortable footwear heroes. And guess what? Now is the best time to shop since they’re on sale. Step into spring in style with these unbeatable sneaks.

Lindsay Lohan Uses These Cucumber Patches to Keep Her Eyes 'Looking Fresh'

After years of keeping a relatively low profile, Lindsay Lohan is back and better than ever. The actress has been busy filming a few Netflix movies — including Irish Wish, which just premiered — and she recently stepped into the new role of being a mom. Needless to say, she’s been booked and busy balancing all areas of her life, yet she manages to do so with grace (and look great while doing it!).

On the days that she’s unable to get a full night’s rest — which happens to be more often than not — Lohan told the New York Post that she relies on the Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches to quickly fake beauty sleep. “I wear these in the mornings to help me wake up. They keep my eyes looking fresh,” she said.

Get the Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches for $55 on Amazon!

You’ve probably seen people wearing cucumber slices on their eyes at the spa. Turns out, cucumber extract holds a variety of skin benefits, which is why Peter Thomas Roth created these eye patches. (They also happen to be more sanitary than slapping a fridge cucumber on your eyes). The vegetable is known for its ability to hold water, and in these eye gels, cucumber extract works to naturally detoxify, hydrate and de-puff the delicate skin around the eyes.

Along with cucumber extract, these eye patches are jam-packed with a number of natural ingredients, including allantoin, aloe and chamomile to soothe and minimize redness; niacinamide to even out skin tone; caffeine and arnica to diminish dark circles; and hyaluronic acid to plump the skin.

With the potent mix of botanical powerhouses, these gels create a near-immediate difference. After just 15 minutes of wear, your under eyes may appear brighter and smoother, and overall you’ll look more awake. They’re almost like a cup of coffee for your skin!

Lohan isn’t the only fan though. Over 700 Amazon shoppers have given these patches their five-star seal of approval. “These are worth every dollar,” one reviewer raves. “I love to put them on in the morning when I am dragging a little bit. They instantly de puff, brighten and are so cooling and relaxing.  Plus, they make my skin look bright and clear when I take them off and they are the perfect first step in my get ready process. I put them on for 30 minutes, but sometimes if I have more time I’ll leave them on as long as possible.”

Whether your schedule has you pulled in multiple directions like Lohan or you just haven’t been getting adequate sleep, these eye gels can make a world of a difference so you can put your best face forward every day. So go on and treat yourself. Look at it this way: Wearing them each morning can create a a zen, spa-like experience from the comfort of your home — and we could all use a few moments of peace.

Stay Secure and Smooth Through Spring With These Bestselling Nipple Covers

In my eyes, warm-weather clothes are unmatched. I just feel infinitely lighter and more carefree when I wear a flouncy shirt, slinky silk dress or any white garment. That said, despite all the positives of spring and summer fashions, there’s one small downfall: Many of the trends — whether it be the delicate fabric, strappy designs or light colors — simply aren’t compatible with bras.

The Best Tummy-Control Swimsuits to Grab at Macy's ASAP

I already despise bras, although I sometimes need that extra coverage and smoothing power that the undergarment offers (especially when a white shirt is a bit more sheer than anticipated!). That’s why I was thrilled to discover one long-lasting, simple solution that I can wear with every finicky material, cutout and color that keeps me secure and smooth: The Bristols 6 Nippies Reusable Nipple Covers.

These handy little silicone pasties are a total game-changer in my wardrobe. I’ve tried countless covers that lack adhesive power and longevity, and these are the first pair that live up to (and exceed!) expectations. To put it into perspective, I am a size 34B, and try to avoid wearing traditional bras when possible. (I just hate how they dig into my skin and straps never stay in place.) That said, when I’m wearing a tight top or a uniquely designed dress, I don’t want my nipples to poke through the fabric — ideally, I want to replicate the appearance of wearing a bra (a smooth, molded finish) without wearing one, and these nipple covers give me the exact look I’m after time and time again.

Made of smooth Invisifeel silicone, I often forget that I’m even wearing pasties because of how weightless they are. I simply stick ’em on and go about my day. I appreciate that they’re matte, so there’s no awkward attention drawn to my chest in pictures when I’m wearing a slightly see-through shirt. Additionally, they’re super easy to care for. A quick hand wash with soap and water keeps them in pristine condition without deteriorating the adhesive.

I’m not the only one who loves these nipple covers, either. Nordstrom shoppers adore these so much, they’ve quickly risen to be one of the retailer’s best sellers. “These are amazing,” one reviewer writes. “Easy to use, covers everything and extremely comfortable. I would almost go braless forever LOL! Just peel them off carefully. They come in a nice little box for storage and a plastic shield to protect the stickiness. There is literally no detection on the outer edges. They also don’t curl up on the edges. Highly recommend.”

As we get closer to the warmer months, these will be an indispensable accessory in your wardrobe. Get ready to step out confidently, without having to worry about wardrobe mishaps like visible bra straps or nip slips — these nipple covers have you covered.

Eva Longoria Looked Bright-Eyed at the Oscars Thanks to This $30 Eye Serum

I always love learning about what products were used to prep for red carpet appearances, and it never ceases to amaze me when I find out their makeup artist used a full face of drugstore formulas — it goes to show that you don’t need to spend a ton of money to look flawless! For the 96th annual Academy Awards, Eva Longoria was one of those celebrities who opted for affordable favorites, and, unsurprisingly, the final result was straight perfection!

The actress’ makeup artist, Elan Bongiorno, exclusively used L’Oreal Paris to give Longoria her impeccable glow. The Flamin’ Hot director’s finished look wasn’t just because of makeup though. The main reason she looked so radiant and bright-eyed was due to her skin prep, which included one of the brand’s bestsellers that Hollywood’s elite and everyday people alike adore: The Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid + Caffeine Hydrating Eye Serum.

Get the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid + Caffeine Hydrating Eye Serum for just $28 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, March 12, 2024, but are subject to change.

This innovative eye serum behaves like a full night’s sleep in a bottle, ensuring you appear well-rested even if you tossed and turned all night. How does it do this? Well, the secret lies in the key ingredients — one of which you’ll find in your morning coffee. A mix of hyaluronic acid and caffeine dramatically nourishes the delicate eye area. The former pulls moisture into the skin, helping to plump and diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles; while the latter acts as a powerful depuffer. The effects of the serum itself are enhanced by the rollerball applicator which soothes and cools upon contact for an invigorating refresh.

While it works beautifully on its own, when applied before makeup, the serum creates the optimal canvas for foundation, concealer and eyeshadow to glide on — which is why Longoria looked nearly airbrushed on the carpet! It simply proves how important your skin prep is.

Even if you’re not planning on attending a major awards show, applying this lightweight serum on the daily can drastically improve eye bags, wrinkles and dark circles — just ask one of the thousands of happy Amazon reviewers. ” I’m 70 yrs young, and I tried every wrinkle cream,” one shopper writes. “This is the only one that worked.”

Another mentions that she feels decades younger thanks to this handy eye product. “I swear by this stuff! It’s a part of my daily facial routine. Honestly there’s nothing else that works as well for keeping wrinkles at bay,” she gushes. “I’m 86 years old and my skin is as smooth as a baby’s. People rarely, if ever, guess my age. My doctor has even commented on it!”

Regardless of your age, this affordable eye serum will leave you looking and feeling your best — and if one of the world’s best actresses swears by it for Hollywood’s biggest night, it’s certainly worthy of adding to your vanity.

You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Comfort for Style With This ‘Pajama-Like’ Travel Set

I’ve always admired those people who look like a million bucks at the airport. I’m the type of person who will roll up 10 minutes before my flight boards, barefaced in leggings and a sweatshirt. People can change, though! This year I want to put in a little more effort on travel days… beyond simply brushing my hair. Now I won’t be doing a full face of makeup before take off, but I do want to level up my flight fashions — and the easiest way to do so without sacrificing comfort is by slipping into a cute tracksuit.

The best travel tracksuits are roomy, soft and versatile — it should be something that you could potentially wear once you arrive to your destination or on any old lounge day. After scrolling through Amazon’s endless options, the Anrabess women’s two-piece tracksuit caught my eye for the above reasons and so much more. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it’s also on sale!

Get the Anrabess Women’s 2 Piece Tracksuit for just $60 (originally $70) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, February 26, 2024, but are subject to change.

This pajama-like two-piece set is comprised of flattering sweatpants and an oversized half zip made from a blend of rayon, polyester and spandex. This combination creates a cushiony yet breathable fabric that will keep you nice and cozy in chilly airplane cabins. It also happens to be incredibly durable. Shoppers mention that it maintains its softness through multiple wash cycles. “I’ve washed this set three times already, and it still looks and feels as great as it did when I first got it,” one reviewer raves. “The color hasn’t faded, and there’s been no pilling or loss of softness.”

Another important feature for traveling is pockets, and this suit has some sturdy ones. When rushing through large airport terminals, it’s imperative to have a compartment that can securely hold my phone and passport. The deep pockets in the pants can hold a wide variety of items without making the whole garment feel weighed down.

I’ll admit that an additional factor that initially interested me in this set was the color options! I’m a sucker for anything green, and this is offered in two rich green hues, along with staple neutrals like black, brown and tan.

Even with all the quality features, this review is what really sold me on the tracksuit: “I travel a great deal of the time and having something comfortable and fashionable is just what I need,” one happy customer writes. “I’ve purchased the Spanx brand and this one is very comparable in style and comfort for less.
I think it runs large so you might want to size down. I would recommend this set.”

With this, I can’t wait to be strutting through the airport in style. Maybe now my fantasy of experiencing a meet-cute on a flight will come true — all thanks to this comfy and fashionable set.

17 Cute Winter Pieces That Will Actually Keep You Warm

Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but we’re still over a month away from the official season switch.

15. Winter Essential: Just because socks are essential doesn’t mean they can’t be cute? This extra-warm set features five pairs with a classic cable-knit design. With so many, you’ll never run out or experience a frigid chill for the rest of winter. Talk about a win-win — was $11, now just $8!

These Bestselling Heels From Amazon May Be the Comfiest You Ever Wear

Is it really possible to find a pair of heels that won’t eventually hurt your feet? That’s a question every woman has asked herself at some point in her life. Trust me, as someone who grew up competing in beauty pageants and was required to wear 5-inch stilettos for hours on end, I’ve pondered the thought time and time again. I’ve long since hung up my sky-high tippy topper heels, but have yet to find solid special occasion pumps that don’t totally tear up my feet. It’s been a real struggle, especially with the sheer amount of weddings I’m attending this year.

Get Meghan Markle's Snowy Style With These Waterproof Boots on Sale

After spending what felt like months searching for the most comfortable heels and reading through hundreds of online reviews, I think I’ve finally found a winner that won’t cause serious blisters or destroy the balls of my feet — and they’re on Amazon of all places!

Get the Dream Pairs Women’s Chunk Low Heel Pump Sandals for $32 (originally $46) on Amazon!

The bestselling Dream Pairs Women’s Chunk Low Heel Pump Sandals have accumulated over 15,000 (!!!) five-star reviews for far beyond just being comfortable. I’ve owned many styles that look eerily similar to these but turned out to be some of the most painful shoes, so I must admit I was a bit skeptical… until I started looking into the details. You see, what sets these apart from others is the thoughtful construction that prioritizes comfort from every angle.

Shoppers Say These No. 1 Bestselling Clogs Are Leading a 'Revolution' — On Sale!

The 3-inch heel adds the ideal amount of height for both short and tall girls alike, and the expertly placed straps ensure your feet won’t slip and slide around (one of the main reasons blisters form). Padding is one of the most important aspects when it comes to comfort. While the cushioning might not look like much, because it’s made with a lightly layered latex it molds to your unique arch and softens your stride with each step, in turn reducing the chances of aches and pains as the hours go by.

When I think about purchasing heels, comfort is only one factor — I also need them to be versatile and adaptable. They should look just as good with a pair of jeans as they do with a dress or business suit. And I must say that these fit the bill. In fact, I’m convinced these actually are a “dream pair,” especially after skimming through the thousands of reviews.

These low chunky heel sandals are perfect, especially for my tall girls,” one happy customer says. “Overall these are amazing for anyone who wants a cute heel sandal that you can wear for hours and not want to be crawling home after. I have worn these for weddings, events, and even just to games with some jeans. They are stylish and make you feel good. I am big on shoes giving an added boost to your confidence, as I think anything you wear should in some way or comfort. Recommend for the price point you cannot go wrong with these.”

Welp, I’m fully convinced that I need these in my closet, and I have a feeling they’re going to become my most worn heels. Good thing they’re on sale, because I’m about to buy three pairs — and you should too while the discount is still going strong. Happy shopping!

My Entire Family Has Sworn by This Hydrating Lip Balm for Over a Decade

My family has never been a “beauty” family — my mom rarely wore much (if any) makeup, my sister and I seldom blew our hair dry and the most skincare any of us applied was a bit of moisturizer before bed and sunscreen in the summer. Looking back, it’s kind of funny that I grew up to be a beauty writer, because I was never really surrounded by it in my childhood.

That’s not to say I wasn’t interested in beauty. I still remember when Sephora opened inside the JCPenney at my small hometown mall — I was completely captivated. I’d visit any chance I got to spritz all the perfumes and marvel at the colorful eyeshadow palettes. My trips prompted my mom to start browsing too, and she quickly discovered a product that became a mainstay in her purse (and amongst our whole family) for well over a decade: the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment.

Get the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment for $26 at Nordstrom!

Over the years, your body begins to change. Areas which previously didn’t sag begin to do so, and you start to acquire another sign of aging or change — stretch marks. These pesky marks can appear in some unsightly places — but there’s nothing wrong with them. Most of Us simply deal with stretch marks, […]

This lip treatment isn’t your average lip balm you’d find in the drugstore. The ultra-hydrating, buttery stick utilizes sugar derived from sugar cane and beets, as well as fruit oils, to keep lips feeling moisturized for a full 24 hours. Living in rural Pennsylvania, where the weather would dip into the single digits most winters, this quickly became our lifesaver for fending off dry, cracked lips. I still remember the first winter my entire family (including my dad and brother) started using it — within the first few days of swapping to this luxe balm, our chapped lips felt softer, smoother and completely comfortable again. Since then, we’ve never looked back.

If you were to visit my family’s home today, you’d find no less than six of these lip treatments scattered around. There’s always one on deck in my parents’ bathroom, my brother and sister each have their own in their rooms and my mom keeps an array of the tinted ones stashed in different bags. I personally enjoy the colored versions (Peony and Berry are my favorite!) because they add the perfect sheer flush to my lips, making me look and feel put together when I’m not in the mood for lipstick or gloss.

Now that I work in beauty, I constantly tell my mom to never buy me any products, and for the most part, she obliges. However, I can’t deny the excitement I feel when I find a perfectly wrapped Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in my stocking each Christmas. I don’t make it home often anymore, and I probably see her three or four times a year, but every time I swipe on this lip balm it connects me to my mom.

Once you try this lip treatment, you’ll understand my family’s obsession — and after you upgrade from your everyday drugstore option, I promise you’ll never look back. Who knows, maybe it will even spark a family-wide beauty connection like it did for me. Shop the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment now!

Beauty fact: There’s something about eyelash extensions which instantly transforms a makeup look. False styles can go with you everywhere from the boardroom to the red carpet!

I'm Stocking Up on My Favorite Luxe Underwear While It's 50% Off at Nordstrom

I’m very particular about my underwear — they need to be comfortable, cute… oh, and they must be a thong cut. When I tell friends that I only wear thongs, it garners looks of horrors and responses like, “Why would you ever do that to yourself?” and, “Ouch!”

It’s the season of love — and fashion is among the things we love most. Receiving pretty new clothes in the mail is one of the best feelings ever. The only thing better? Wearing them! With Valentine’s Day coming up, we’re heavily focused on picking out pink and red hues right now. But we don’t […]

Listen, I get it. Every woman has been scarred by a horrific thong experience that most likely involved one of the most painful wedgies of their life. I can relate (and have experienced that for myself!), but I simply can’t stand the look of underwear lines. So, it’s been my mission seek out soft, stretchy designs that don’t leave me uncomfortable or in pain.

I’ve tried dozens of options over the past 12 years, and no thongs compare in comfort or style to the Hanky Panky Lace Thongs. I gave these undies a shot after learning they’re Jennifer Aniston’s favorite — because anything the A-list icon likes must be good! I must admit, I was smitten from the moment they arrived at my door.

Get the Hanky Panky Assorted 5-Pack Lace Original Rise Thongs for $60 (originally $120) at Nordstrom!

First things first, I love how pretty the lace looks. While lace often gets a bad rep for being itchy, these lacy wonders feel silky smooth to the touch and don’t rub uncomfortably against the skin at all. Beyond the lace, I appreciate that they’re also designed with a cotton gusset for some breathability — an important feature for all women’s underwear. Plus, you may notice that there aren’t any size options, but these babies have some serious stretch and can fit sizes 4 to 12.

I know a five-pack comes with a bit of sticker shock. At $120, this isn’t Victoria’s Secret five for $25 deal — but the quality far outperforms any other thongs in my rotation. The super stretchy lace doesn’t start to unravel after a few wears or cycles in the wash. I’ve been wearing my Hanky Panky thongs for almost two years, and they still look just as fresh as the day I unboxed them. I’d purchase them at regular price any day because of how much I adore them. However, I’m going to stock up since select colorways are 50% off at Nordstrom.

This sale comes just in time for Valentine’s Day — so boys, if you’re shopping for your lady, this is the thing to grab (but don’t forget the chocolates or roses!) Even if you’re not shopping for someone special, these thongs are very “treat yourself worthy.” I may not have any Valentine’s plans, but as a strong, independent woman, I’ll be taking advantage of this sale because sexy underwear makes me feel confident whenever I wear it. That’s the real reason we wear underwear anyway, right?

Be sure to stock up before the sale ends!

Everyone has different opinions on fashion, but if there’s one thing we can all definitely agree on, it’s that we’re sick of uncomfortable underwear! We wear it all day, every day — so why should we be dealing with wedgies, skin indents, rough fabrics and itchy tags? Going commando is often even worse! It’s time. […]

Seasonal depression is a very real thing. To combat the winter blues that creep up every January, I always book a tropical vacation and partake in some retail therapy!

1. Simple Sun Dress: The first thing I seek out after booking a trip is a new sun dress. The easy breezy style can be worn while exploring, as a beach cover-up or even to nicer dinners. This Zesica maxi dress is my top choice at the moment because of its high ratings and endless color selections — was $60, now just $46!

2. Matchy-Matchy: The last thing I want to do on vacation is waste time trying to choose an outfit. That’s why I’ll be packing this comfy linen Anrabess two-piece set. The dreamy rust color is currently 50% off — was $39, now just $19!

3. Breezy Blouse: Whether you’re looking for a fashionable beach top or a relaxed shirt to wear out at night, this Dokotoo crocheted blouse definitely fits the bill — was $60, now just $30!

4. Cute Cutouts: We’re leaving boring swimsuits in the past! Stay on top of the trends — namely the ruby red and girly fashions — with this gorgeous cutout one-piece from J.Crew that features rosette detailing — was $128, now just $65!

5. On Theme: If you’re obsessed with the above swimsuit as much as we are, then also adding this pretty floral plunge dress to your cart is a no-brainer — was $148, now just $75!

6. We Got the Top… Victoria’s Secret makes some of the best swimwear of all time. I love that they have something to satisfy everyone’s style, from sexy string bikinis to fun, flirty designs like this funky daisy-print Palma bikini top — just $46!

7. …And the Bottom: While you could wear any old bikini bottom with the Palma top, we definitely recommend getting the matching Mia bottoms — just $46!

Neutral colors are a major fashion fad right now, fitting neatly into more macro trends like ’90s chic, quiet luxury and elevated basics. Muted tones also happen to be ideal for wearing to work — after all, no one’s going to be distracted by beige, camel or brown! With the change of seasons upon Us, […]

16. Sun Shielder: When you’re in the tropics, you’ll need more than sunscreen to fend off the sun’s harmful rays. To shade your face from the sun, we suggest wearing a fun straw hat, like this one from btb Los Angeles — just $98!

17. Bestseller! This fan-favorite rainbow PQ crop top can be worn as a cover-up or out dancing — just $76!

Sabrina Carpenter Says This Mattifying Stick Is Her 'Favorite Thing'

One thing I admire about pop stars is their ability to belt their lungs out and perform intricate dance routines in front of millions of people — all while looking absolutely perfect. Seriously, it doesn’t even look like many of them break a sweat, and I’m not just talking about Taylor Swift, either. Sabrina Carpenter (who happens to be an opener on Miss Swift’s tour) also always looks flawless at the end of her intense sets. How does she do it?

Well, the “Nonsense” singer recently revealed her makeup “essential-essential-essentials” in a TikTok video posted by Who What Wear. While she shares a few favorites, there’s one “magical” product she swears by to instantly banish oil and shine and keep her makeup looking good as new: the Nudestix Blot & Blur Matte Stick.

When one celebrity loves a beauty product, we’re intrigued. When two celebrities love a beauty product, we’re tempted. And when eight celebrities love a beauty product, we’re sold. That’s the case with the Caudalie Beauty Elixir! This cult-favorite facial mist — currently ringing in at just $20 on Amazon — brightens and smooths skin, minimizes […]

“I can’t believe I’m telling anyone about this right now, but I’m gonna do it for the betterment of mankind,” the Girl Meets World alum joked. “It’s like my favorite thing in the world and basically replaces powder.” The travel-friendly multi-stick can be used in a few ways to mattify skin and blot oil. First, you can swipe it over bare skin to minimize the look of pores and blur imperfections before applying makeup. However, you can also use it over makeup to sop up excess oil without making your complexion products look cakey.

“When I’m out with my friends and they’re like ‘Oh my god, I’m so shiny and I don’t have powder,’ I just put this little balmy stick wherever they’re oily, and it doesn’t look powdery or cakey,” Carpenter shared. “It just looks like all the oil is gone, so it’s pretty magical.”

Anyone else’s hair struggling right now? The combination of the cold, dry weather and damaging hot tools is basically lethal for soft, strong, shiny hair. Before you know it, your strands become brittle, split, dull and sad. Former Bachelorette star Tayshia Adams recently decided she was sick of unhealthy hair — but only during a […]

This handy stick is formulated to efficiently dispel oil thanks to the clean formula that contains Jeju Island volcanic ash, an oil-absorbing mineral. It also contains mugwort extract, heartleaf extract and vitamin E to clarify and soothe skin, so it leaves you with a comfortably soft complexion. In fact, if you use it regularly, these actives could help soothe blemishes and irritation, getting you one step closer to the skin of your dreams.

If you tend to get oily throughout the day, the convenient stick format makes it easy to store in your purse for touch-ups on the go. Plus, it’s much more accessible than carrying a loose powder around and less wasteful than blotting papers. Essentially, using this is better for mankind (and the environment)!

Thank you to Carpenter for not gatekeeping this product. Now, hurry and grab your own before it sells out . . . again!
