The 25 Best Things I Bought This Year

Kylie Nelson — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:29:43 +0000

As someone who reviews products for a living, it takes something truly spectacular to stand out enough to be considered a holy-grail favorite. To make my favorites list, it can’t just be an item I like—it has to be something I swear by, something I rave to all of my friends about, and something I find myself consistently reaching for. In a world where new products are being thrown in your face daily, it can be overwhelming to keep up with what’s truly worth your investment—which is why I decided to put this list together. Think of it as your shortcut to navigate the thousands of options out there without having to spend hours researching. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or find the perfect gift for the women in your life, you’re in the […]

How to Use Vitamin C Serum The Right Way

Lindsay Silberman — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 10:11:00 +0000

You probably know that you should be using a vitamin C serum in your skincare routine every day. But do you know why? And are you even using it properly? Here’s a little refresher. How to Use Vitamin C Serum Because vitamin C helps protect your skin from pollution, ultraviolet light, and free radicals, you’re going to want to use it in the morning rather than in the evening. If you’ve never used vitamin C or if you have sensitive skin, start by applying the serum every other day for the first two weeks to combat any side effects. Also it’s important to keep in mind that as a rule of thumb, skincare products should typically be applied from “thinnest” to “thickest” in terms of consistency. Regardless of your skin type, there are numerous benefits […]

The Best Lip Combos for a Neutral, Everyday Look

Lindsay Silberman — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 16:17:00 +0000

One topic I really haven’t blogged much about is my favorite lip products. (I have a lot of them!) I don’t know about you guys, but I always tend to gravitate toward neutrals — specifically colors that fall within the rosey nude and mauve family.* *I will add a caveat that I recently tried this Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond in a bold red, and I might start going bold more often! I love playing around with different lip liners, lipsticks, and lip gloss combinations, so I figured I’d share two combos that I’ve been wearing a lot lately. Even if you wear just the lipsticks on their own, each of these shades has my enthusiastic stamp of approval. I’d honestly consider them the be the best lip combos out there! Best Lip Combos PRO […]

The 11 Best Strapless Bras: The Most Comfortable and Supportive Strapless Bras

Kara Thompson — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 11:10:00 +0000

It’s hard enough to find a regular bra for everyday wear that you actually like—and finding comfortable, no-slip strapless bras is even more difficult. There’s nothing more annoying than having to readjust and tug at your bra while you’re out and about, and worrying that you’ll have a wardrobe malfunction because your strapless bra isn’t doing its proper job. If you’re pulling, tugging, or dealing with lines all over your body from where your bra slouched down to—or you find yourself counting down the minutes until you can unhook it at the end of the day—then you clearly haven’t found your perfect strapless bra match. Luckily, through an extensive amount of trial and error, tons of research, hours spent reading countless reviews, and a poll that involved nearly 6,000 women in my Facebook group, I’ve […]

The 11 Best Strapless Bras for Big Boobs

Kara Thompson — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 11:15:00 +0000

If you happen to be blessed in the chest, then you’ve probably struggled to find a supportive strapless bra. And let me tell you — I feel your pain. As a DD-cup, I have spent more than a decade in search of a strapless bra for big boobs that doesn’t slide down to my nipples the second I lift my arms up. (Who can relate?!) I’ve always been envious of the way my smaller-chested friends would shop for clothes without limitations, not thinking twice about an off-the-shoulder shirt, sexy halter dress, or slinky spaghetti-strap blouse, because for them, finding a strapless bra is easy peasy! Meanwhile, I’m over here with 27 filters on each retailer’s website in an effort to find anything remotely cute that has sleeves or thick straps. For most of my life, I […]

The 15 Most Flattering Jeans for Women, Whether You’re Petite, Tall, Short, or Curvy

Kara Thompson — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 16:58:00 +0000

If you’re anything like me then you probably have a love/hate relationship with jeans. While I love wearing my go-to pair of jeans, the process of finding the right fit can certainly be daunting. It’s quite literally a process of elimination (hello, return labels!) I’ll also admit that I’m guilty of keeping piles of jeans in my closet when in all reality I wear just a handful (don’t tell Matt). It feels like I’ve hit the jackpot when I come across a comfy pair that are both cute and quality. It’s a challenge to find denim that fits your body type just right—and that stays fitting well after several washes. Whether you’re tall, short, petite, curvy, or somewhere in between, I’ve done the leg work to source the most flattering jeans for women of every […]

32 Must-Have Summer Makeup Products, Tips, and Tricks

Lindsay Silberman — Sun, 05 May 2024 10:36:00 +0000

As a self-admitted makeup junkie, I love nothing more than revamping my routine for a new season…and summer makeup just so happens to be my specialty. (Though I do also have an article about the best winter makeup and products as well!) When it comes to changing up my makeup for hot weather, I focus a lot on staying power, things packed with SPF, things that will make me look dewy (but not oily), and things that will keep my face and lips hydrated and plump. And, perhaps most importantly, I love a gorgeous, just-back-from-the-beach bronzed glow. After testing hundreds of products over the years—from pricey sunscreens to cult-favored bronzers—I’ve narrowed down my recommendations to this concise list of the very best summer makeup products. I’ve also discovered a few hacks when it comes to […]

12 Best-Selling Pairs of Denim Shorts that Women Universally Love

Kara Thompson — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:18:00 +0000

Warmer days are ahead, and if you’re anything like me, you know it can be a struggle to find a great pair of denim shorts. Sure, some might fit when you first slip them on, but then you get that unpleasant surprise of finding out they ride up or get baggy throughout the day. I’m also all about shorts that are not too short because… well, I’m not exactly 19 anymore. In my experience, the best denim shorts are flattering, youthful (but age appropriate), don’t get baggy throughout the day, and don’t ride up so high that the cheeks of your derriere are exposed if—God forbid—you bend over to tie your sneakers. Those are pretty much my qualifications. Of course, every woman has their own preference, and it’s all about finding the best denim shorts […]

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid The Right Way

Lindsay Silberman — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 09:43:00 +0000

One ingredient that has become ever more popular in skincare in recent years is hyaluronic acid—and it has developed a loyal fan base of the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Khloe Kardashian, and Scarlett Johansson. Why? Well, that’s easy. The benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin are pretty extraordinary. It’s known as the ultimate “plumping” ingredient and helps give your skin a bouncy, youthful, firmer texture. We’ll go more in-depth into all the other added benefits later in the article, and we’ll also share the absolute best hyaluronic acid serums on the market (including our thoughts on the famously cheap—and famously popular—The Ordinary HA serum.) But first, let’s start by addressing the most basic question: how do you use hyaluronic acid? See below for the full skincare scoop. How to use Hyaluronic Acid Step 1: […]
