The move will be made in November and will feature an exclusive line partnered with Sephora, but amidst this amazing news for lovers of the brand and makeup fanatics
One of the things I’ve noticed since my love for beauty started is how hesitant beauty enthusiasts are to explore with different shades of gold, copper, or anything with glitter. Though it might seem a little scary at first, remind yourself that you can’t be stuck in your comfort zone forever. It’s good to explore
On Thursday, luxury makeup brand YSL Beauty unveiled their new All HOURS foundation line via their Instagram, touting the collection as being suitable for all skin tones. But anyone who took a look at the brand’s account and saw that out of 22 foundation shades only one was for dark skin could smell the BS from
I was brought up in a community where sleek, straight hair was the norm. I was also born with (what seemed to be) frizzy, unmanageable curls. Don’t get me wrong, straight silky hair is beautiful. However, growing up with hair that didn’t fit the standard was always incredibly frustrating for me. In fifth grade, this magical

Looking through baby pictures or photos of me as a toddler always reveals a hairstyle that either resembles a bob or just barely grazes my shoulders.

The beauty community, a space a lot use to get away from their everyday lives, is certainly no exception. In fact, the beauty community might be one of the places where people are the nastiest to
To some, makeup is a form of expression. To others, makeup is a mask. To many, makeup is a quick way to enhance certain facial characteristics. Regardless, there’s a reason that those adept in its application are called makeup artists. When I grew up, I was under the false assumption that makeup was created solely for
We live in a time where social media is at it’s prime. Therefore, it isn’t a surprise that beauty lovers like me turn to social media for inspiration and guidance. Flashback to about 10 years ago, this wasn’t the case. For a big part of my teenage years I struggled to find comfort within my

I love the cult of Glossier. I’m a sucker for their minimalist branding and their endless stream of discount codes. They make products for a nu-age demographic that is a little too poor to be buying right off the full-priced rack at Anthropologie, a subgroup that every user on Instagram with less than one-thousand followers
If you’re a fan of Youtubers, or generally social media stars, then you surely have come across those labelling themselves as “beauty gurus”, an ambitious name for a perhaps overly ambitious type of person.
