Like most people, I'm TikTok obsessed. I wouldn't say I'm easily influenced to buy what I see on the app, per se, but when I come across not one but several people raving about a particular item, that's when I start to pay closer attention. That's precisely the case for Old Navy's Extra High-Waisted Vintage Sweat Shorts, 5-Inch Inseam ($8, originally $20). I'm not sure that I would have given them a second glance on the retailer's website, but countless content creators raved about them, so I decided to see what the fuss was about and added my usual size...

The fashion community, the art and design space, and people all over the world continue to mourn the passing of the late Virgil Abloh. First, there was a heartfelt Louis Vuitton men's show activation at last year's Art Basel. That event was followed by a star-packed Fall 2022 Off-White collection debut, where Naomi Campbell, Serena Williams, and OG supers Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen walked the runway in his honor. The latest tribute is a series of activations that pay homage to the legacy of the multihyphenate titan. Louis Vuitton is launching a series of activations, retrospectives, and capsules as...

MAC Marvelous Max Lipglass ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a rich, marigold yellow with strong, warm undertones and a pearlized, cream-based finish. For this type of shade--which is rare in a gloss--it actually went on a lot better than anticipated! Medium coverage Light-medium thickness, tacky Could have applied more evenly, prone to settling into lip lines Longer-wearing (typically 5 hours for this formula), moderately hydrating MAC Rockin' Robin Lipglass ($21.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, medium red with cooler undertones and a high-shine, cream finish.

I do! I find that I need a cleansing oil or more emollient cleanser to really breakdown all of the makeup I wear compared to a more "daily" cleanser that does a nice job for lighter-weight makeup days or no makeup days.

ColourPop Won and Done 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new palette that included a mix of shimmers and matte shades across 12 shades. It had a warm-toned, neutral color story with pops of pinks. The products performed consistently with ColourPop's eyeshadow formula: pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing with the mattes being lightly powdery at times. Cowgirl is a bright, white gold with subtle, warmer champagne-to-gold shifting shimmer paired with a more metallic sheen. Mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation Smooth, moderately emollient consistency without being too dense Picked up readily with dry brush, blended out well Long-wearing...

It's really rare to find one that's tinted, long-wearing, and as hydrating as a regular lip balm, IMO! I prefer a clear lip balm that is very hydrating for night time and then wearing lipstick/gloss during the day.

ColourPop Hook Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a vivid, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a shiny, cream finish. It could have applied more evenly overall, which was its big downside. Mostly opaque coverage Lightweight, creamy, spreadable Applied fairly evenly, minimal settling into lip lines Average-wearing (three to four hours typical of this formula), lightly hydrating ColourPop Saloon Fresh Kiss Lip Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a deep fuchsia pink with strong, cool undertones and a glossy, cream finish. Opaque coverage Lightweight, creamy, spreadable Applied evenly, softened lip lines Average-wearing (four hours typical of...

Pack away your spring jackets, and prepare for a Hot Plans Summer, at least fashion-wise. The biggest — and the most can't-miss — summer 2022 fashion trends like mini skirts and platform shoes, as well as mood-boosting styles like fringe, will ensure you're ready for a season of dopamine dressing. Bold colors had their fair share of moments on the spring/summer 2022 runways in September and will trickle down to street style and red carpets well into fall. As many in the industry predicted, cut-outs will also resume their reign as the most popular style to come out since pandemic...

What is a hot girl summer but an amalgamation of under-boob sweat, complicated crop tops, and impractical backless dresses? These anti-bra silhouettes are a direct result of the fashion industry’s infatuation with slender, small-breasted bodies — which, in turn, fuels a market for gravity-defying, sticky strips of gauze that many of us know as “boob tape.” Although I lost hope in those flimsy adhesive bands long ago, my faith was restored by the shade-inclusive accessory brand Nue. Just like me, Nue believes those of us with gravity-obeying breasts, diamond-grade nipples, ample-size bosoms, etc., deserve to ditch the brassieres just as much as...
