Though I didn’t have any acne as a teen (I know, I got off easy), now as a 33-year-old, I’m dealing with hormonal breakouts. And it’s not just my chin and jaw that are affected during PMS, but my shoulders, as well. And if I actually work out, I get breakouts along my sweaty sports bra line. The worst . I know I’m not the only one dealing with body breakouts and the unsightly scars that come with them. Thankfully, the new Frank Body A-Beauty Scrub is here to help. You might be wondering what the “A” stands for in A-Beauty. Just like K-beauty products hail from Korea, A-beauty products come from Australia. Products from Down Under are often pretty pared down, with few stellar ingredients and not a lot of filler. Frank Body’s popular coffee scrubs are exactly that; natural ingredients such as aloe vera and olive oil are anti-bacterial and nourishing. A-Beauty Scrub is a bit different because it specifically tackles post-breakout acne scars and hyperpigmentation , and works to brighte...

Though most of the world was focused on the battle at Winterfell Sunday night, true  Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans were tuned in to the latest episode. And they were treated to some equally *fiery* drama. Khloé Kardashian reacted to on Scott Disick and Sofia Richie’s relationship with Kourtney , saying she thinks the young model should be “insecure.” Wait, what? Let us explain. During the episode, former lovers and current friendly exes Disick and Kourtney Kardashian met with a spiritual healer in Bali. The healer told the couple that they were “two old souls” who have a “very strong bond.” And get this—they were even called “soulmates.” Kourtney took this comment at face value, acknowledging that she and Disick will be in each other’s lives forever (because of their children) and that’s  what the spiritual healer must’ve been referencing. “I normally don’t like this type of stuff, but I’m really trying to connect and improve my relationships,” Kourtney explained. “I ...

Fifteen years ago, the Mean Girls cast shattered the “popular girl” trope when we were introduced to the Plastics. Written by comedian Tina Fey with an iconic appearance from Amy Poehler, Mean Girls followed Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan), a girl who grew up in Africa and was homeschooled by her parents. However, after her family relocates to an Illinois suburb –Cady finds herself struggling to fit in with her cliquey public school. She also finds herself equally disgusted and intrigued by the Plastics. Helmed by the H.B.I.C. Regina George (Rachel McAdams) who is fawned over by her bestie Gretchen Wieners (Lacy Chabert) and the obtuse Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried), Cady slowly finds herself turning into the very girls that she vowed to destroy. When Mean Girls premiered in 2004 , it exploded –creating quippy one-liners that we still use today like, “She doesn’t even go here!” and “You can’t sit with us!” The movie also catapulted several actors who were relatively unknown at the time ...

In a rare and out-of-character response, Robert Pattison discussed his relationships with Kristen Stewar t, FKA Twigs and Suki Waterhouse. The former Twilight  star has always remained fairly tightlipped on his personal life, especially when it comes to romance. But The Sunday Times got the 32-year-old actor to share a few thoughts on his previous courtship with Stewart and FKA Twigs, as well as his current reported GF, Suki Waterhouse. Pattinson was first asked whether he was still on good terms with his former  Twilight  co-star and FKA Twigs. He refrained from saying much of anything except for “yes, yes.” He then took some time to reflect on when Donald Trumps’ tweets revolved around his dating life—pre White House Trump. (Back in 2012, the future President tweeted, “Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again—just watch. He can do much better!”) Well, Pattinson uses that as his presidential claim-to-f...

Heads up, Starbucks fans. Your obsession is about to get a lot more serious. If you’ve been waiting for the popular S’Mores drink to come back, you’re in luck. Just in time for summer, everyone’s favorite Frap is hitting stores again, so you’ll be able to sip that coffee and milk goodness, all topped with marshmallow-infused whipped cream, milk chocolate sauce and a graham cracker crumble. To be honest, I’ve never had it but it looks like this is the summer that’s going to change. (Can they make it with oat milk?) And that’s not all. According to a bunch of Insta stories from the coffee chain, Starbucks lip gloss is coming as well, all as part of an upcoming contest called S’Mores Life. I first spotted the news on beauty blogger LooksbyLexington ‘s Instagram stories, who I know to be an epic Starbucks fan . I did a little more digging and learned that the glosses are part of an upcoming campaign. Starbucks is working with two influencers, AJA and Danica Mae , as part of the S’Mores ...

Entrepreneur Cashmere Nicole created Beauty Bakerie back in 2011 and hasn’t slowed down since. We love the brand for its inclusive shade range and healthy ingredients—all vegan, paraben-free and cruelty-free. You might remember when Nicole made waves for numbering her foundation shades from dark to light instead of the usual light to dark. Now, she’s expanding one of her first and most popular beauty products. A Beauty Bakerie Flour Setting Powder Extension is coming soon and we can’t contain our excitement. Fans love the powder for the way it smoothes the complexion and sets foundation for all-day wear, leaving behind a soft matte finish . Each shade also has its own benefits, like redness-reducing and brightening. Plus, they come in seriously cute packaging meant to resemble baking powder. In fact, as the name suggests, each product in the line has a baking theme, like #1 Cake Mix Demi-Matte Foundation in a cake mix box and Blending Egg Beauty Sponges in, you guessed it, an egg ...

Last year, a road trip that ended in Los Angeles made one thing abundantly clear: the world’s obsession with all things CBD had taken on a life of its own. On the west coast (far away from my NYC home base), it felt like literally everyone kept a tincture or face oil on hand for all-too-common concerns like breakouts and insomnia. And though I was hardly interested in hoarding the best CBD products for myself, it definitely piqued my interest. This also isn’t to say that indulging in the plant’s psychoactive benefits is a bad thing. It really just comes down to preference. And if you’re anything like me–i.e., can’t smoke or consume an edible without canceling the entire day–then the non-psychoactive pros may be more your speed. So like any good product junkie, I decided to basically swan-dive into trying any and every CBD-infused beauty and wellness product I could get my hands on. (If you need a full breakdown on what CBD actually is, here you go .) First, it’s worth noting that ...

She went on to walk the red carpet alongside stars like Scarlett Johansson before heading into the theatre to take her seat. Then came the texts. “My phone was blowing up,” she says. The first was from her manager who sent her a link to a news outlet that also thought she was Adams. Then came several more outlets…and several more. It didn’t take long for the outlets to issue corrects, clarifying that the woman in red was, in fact, not Adams but actress Christiane Seidel from Netflix’s Godless . But by then Seidel had already gone viral as Adams’s look-alike, with sites like Entertainment Tonight , Access Hollywood and even StyleCaster reporting on how the mixup became one of the most talked-about moments before the Emmys. “People sometimes give me double takes, and then they look disappointed when they get close and realize I’m not her,” Seidel says. “But the Emmys were insane.” Seidel didn’t hear from Adams, and the actress never showed up (though she was expected to because of...
