While it’s fun to covet Cardi B’s $295 makeup routine or the $401 worth of beauty products Nicki Minaj wore on her recent album cover, you probably have rent to pay and Uber rides to cancel. If you can’t drop triple the price of your air-conditioning bill on makeup, you might rely on your trusty drugstore beauty aisle. That said,…
It isn’t every day that I find myself in a dark conference room at work, my eyes closed, repeating things like, “Good job, little Kelsey.” But alas, this is precisely where I was one month ago, intermittently talking to myself as a voice on my computer guided me deeper, deeper, deeper . . . I can assure you I’m not…
From your standard L.L. Bean button-up to trendy shirt dresses, flannel is a Fall mainstay. But the warm fabric is not reserved for fashion only. In the waning days of Summer, many celebrities are showing off what’s to come via flannel-colored hair. The subdued, slightly burnt copper shade looks all kinds of cozy, and it’s a great gateway look to…
One of the best parts of Halloween is the ability to transform yourself into whatever character or creature you’d like using makeup. Unfortunately, this wonderful holiday only comes once a year, so you probably won’t want to spend a fortune on the beauty items you’re using to complete your costume. The good news is there are tons of affordable options…
You could call me a bit of a concealer snob. I have tried tons of different options, always hunting for a choice that meets my high standards.

These new additions have the same moisturizing, non-sticky feel…
Relationship goals: date whoever works in product development at Nars. The brand that gave us blush with a shade name that will make you, well, you know, has long been known for pushing the boundaries. The brand’s latest mascara is no different: meet Climax ($24). This tube is just the latest in a storied tradition of brands communicating their thirstiness…
Much to the dismay of anyone with atychiphobia, the truth about job hunting remains: in interviews, like in life, there are only so many things you can control. Even when you’ve fine-tuned your résumé, researched the company, and concocted a decidedly thoughtful response to the wild card “What kind of animal would you be?” question, sometimes there are other, far…
I have an unhealthy relationship with my magnifying mirror, which sometimes causes me to wonder, “Is that a wrinkle on my 25-year-old face?” I try to reassure myself that I’m being dramatic, but I decided to talk to a dermatologist to find out what those lines on my forehead are once and for all. “A line on your face does…
My hair and I have a complicated relationship. Growing up, I never gave my hair the self-care it needed. I would tie it up into a ponytail, get relaxers on a daily basis, and refuse to use any product other than shampoo and conditioner (which also contained high levels of sulfate – a huge no-no for curls).
