FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

-
Image
It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

MILLENNIAL-MINDED BRANDS BREAKING BEAUTY STEREOTYPES

Remember your torturous teenage years, spent gazing enviously at glossy, fair, and lovely girls in magazines? The subsequently painful, prickly hours trying to bleach away any evidence of your OG and of-origin tan? Or the parlor lady and aggressive aunty who always nagged you about your too-curly hair or splotchy skin? Well, guess what? There’s a beauty zeitgeist taking over the world that says they don’t matter anymore – but you do, dear Millennial. Over the past few years, beauty brands have started bending over backward to cater to digitally native generations who create, consume, and conquer in a way that’s starkly different from their predecessors.

THE MAKEUP TREND

-
Image
At the outset let me just say this more an educated guess than cast-in-stone predictions. But based on hours spent poring over countless fashion shows heralding the year to come, we have a pretty good idea of all the beauty products (and trends) likely to make a splash this coming year. From highlighters to lip plumping glosses, here are the latest makeup trends to watch out for: BLURRING PRIMERS This will be the year of Clean Skin. Forget the cakey, full cover finished looks of years gone by. Just a touch of concealer or blurring primer on areas that cry out to be concealed. The look to yearn for is a Snapchat lens version of yourself. Enter Blurring Primers, smoothing and blurring potions that minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines, and wrinkles while prolonging makeup hold and mattifying your complexion for perfect skin all day. Use by itself or mix with a dab of the foundation for pore-less, blemish-free perfection. Get your hands on NYX Professional Makeup Nofilter Blurring...

The office, the classroom, and public transit are some of the most common places for people to get sick during the cold and flu season. As you navigate the risk of having to leave your house this season—and anxiously await your employer’s or school’s official policy regarding coronavirus—here are five simple steps you can take every day to stay healthy. 1. Wash Your Hands Sure, this sounds like a no-brainer. But considering that only a disturbing 31 percent of men and 65 percent of women wash their hands after using the restroom, it bears repeating. According to the Centers for Disease Control, washing your hands is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs and minimize your chances of getting sick. So, wash your hands frequently—not just after you use the restroom. Before and after meals. After using public transportation (especially after using public transportation). Make washing your hands the first thing you do when you get home at night, and as s...
