Cardi B + Offset: A Secure House – Essence
The primary time I meet Cardi B and Offset, it’s during Art Basel.

His work speaks for itself. It’s daring, transcendent, and incredibly intimate. “People have auras, colours, and energies and I try to choose up on that—to see them,” Addy tells ESSENCE. This intimate visibility is the topic of Addy’s forthcoming (it’s already available to UK readers, set to release...

Moda Operandi Is Bringing Luxury Taste Into the Beauty
Reasonably priced beauty products will at all times have a spot in our hearts, but there's something about splurge-worthy items that make our routines feel a bit more glamorous. Mode of Operation appears to be on the identical page as us because the posh e-retailer just expanded into beauty with a number of the highest names within the business.Likelihood is, you may have perused the location's array of couture labels before. Well, now you may grab a few of your favorite high-end fashion finds while restocking your beauty routine — or, like many a budget-wary Allure author, just stick with the latter for the reason that bulk of Moda Operandi's clothes and niknaks finds can include price tags of...
