Ouai’s Recent Hair Gloss Makes Me Look (and Feel)

Ouai’s Recent Hair Gloss Makes Me Look (and Feel)
I've long prided myself on abstaining from hot tools and have been sans-straightener since middle school. But, last month, I got an $18 face frame from a cosmetology school student (she killed it) and realized that my recent fringe demanded occasional TLH — tender, love, and warmth. So I blew the dust off my blow dryer brush, ate my humble pie, and located a product that kept my mane silky and secure. Quickly, I used to be lost within the sauce of surplus leave in conditioner, hair oil, and hair mask options and none of them looked as if it would do all the pieces I used to be searching for. So when the news of the just-launched Ouai Hair...

Gucci Gloss à Lèvres Is a Lavish Essential for

Gucci Gloss à Lèvres Is a Lavish Essential for
Story time: glosses are frequently not my forte, but after getting a much-needed re-up on my lip filler, I've decided to dip my foot (err, lips?) into their sticky, tacky waters.

It’s precious, easy-to-access real estate — holding the sweetness products I never leave the home without. (That, and the occasional neatly folded receipt.) That’s where I permanently keep my Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Ice Cooling Lip Luminizer.I first tried out this iteration of the brand’s Gloss Bomb during Better of Beauty testing. I had reached for it for 2 reasons: First, it was a hexagonal tube of blue goo in a sea of reds and pinks. Second, it was emblazoned with the word “Ice” in holographic letters across it.It is available in only...

The $15 Nail Polish Behind Selena Gomez’s “High Gloss”

The  Nail Polish Behind Selena Gomez’s “High Gloss”
When Selena Gomez attended the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, she hid her manicure under a pair of dramatic black opera-length gloves, leaving me to wonder what nail color was shining below the designer fabric. A glam red? A wealthy burgundy? Numerous glitter? Now we all know, due to Gomez's go-to nail artist Tom Bachick — and never only is it a masterclass in minimalism, it is also budget-friendly!For the gala, Gomez and Bachik selected a “high gloss glam” mani that is really the definition of “your nails but higher.” First, Bachik prepped the star's nail beds and cuticles, skipping extensions in favor of her natural nails. He filed her nails right into a soft squoval shape, then painted...
