These Under-Eye Products are Like Plexaderm With Longer-Lasting Results

Image
I’m convinced that none of us can escape dark eye circles and under-eye bags. If it isn’t genetics passed down from our parents and grandparents, it’s a chaotic schedule that convinces us to trade in rest for more work. Before you know it, there isn’t enough concealer in the world to hide the fact that you’re routinely getting less than eight hours of sleep every night. And even if you come to your senses and set some boundaries between the bed and your work desk, skincare products that work like Plexaderm feel like a necessity because the damage is sort-of done. For those who don’t know, Plexaderm has been around for a while but exists just below the radar of what’s crazy popular because it exists inside a neverending list of products that promise to nix dark circles, bags, and fine lines. And while there are plenty that actually delivers results, what sets Plexaderm a part is instant gratification. The product, best described as a serum, is made up of silicate minerals derived fro...

I’m Obsessed With My Skechers, & I Want The World To Know

Image
The time has come for me to write my very first love letter ( TATBILB style, natch) and of course, I’m writing it to shoes. To all the sneakers I’ve loved before: Sorry, buy y’all have nothing on my Skechers. If you’re one of those people who only associates Skechers with the light-up, velcro-closure styles of your youth or the Shape-Ups in the back of your mom’s closet, I’m going to need you to put all prior opinions aside. My Skechers D’Lites 3.0s are my most complimented footwear—cue the Kanye voice— of all time,  and I’m bringing you this Skechers D’Lites and Energy review to call your attention to a variety of cute kicks you might’ve never before considered shopping. My collection started with one animal-printed pair, and I’ve now amassed a whopping five pairs of Skechers, with hundreds of wear and absolutely zero regrets. Bella Gerard It all started when Skechers dropped a pair of now-sold-out cow-printed kicks  exclusively for Urban Outfitters back in 2019. I sn...

The Best Non-Drying Facial Cleansing Bars For Every Skin Type

Bar soap isn’t exactly the most glamourous of skincare products on the market, but there’s a reason this old-school beauty product is making a major comeback. In fact, bar face washes tend to get a bad rap because many of the gold standard formulas tend to dry out the skin, leaving it feeling uncomfortably tight and parched. But, while gel, cream, balm, and oil cleansers are all the rage at the moment, (especially if you’re an avid double-cleanser ), there’s something to be said about the fuss-free efficacy of the simple bathroom staple. Now, we’re certainly not suggesting that you should go ahead and use any old bar soap on your face—in fact, we’re advising against it—but there is a slew of benefits to opting for traditional solid cleansers. Not only do they tend to be less expensive than their liquid counterparts, but they’re also usually free of harsh and drying ingredients like sodium lauryl sulphate, and are instead infused with a blend of humectants and emollients to countera...

Skincare-Infused Foundations That Multitask

I absolutely live for multitasking beauty products —they save time and cut down on the fuss factor. While foundation, concealer, and other complexion-enhancing face products tend to get a bad rap for being pore-clogging and breakout-inducing, there are surprisingly plenty of makeup-skincare hybrids infused with skin-loving active ingredients that not only help to conceal your imperfections, but that actually improve them over time. These multipurpose foundations not only help you fake perfect skin, but they can actually help blast away breakouts , soften the appearance of fine lines, erode uneven texture and brighten up a dull complexion with continuous use. Now, we’re certainly not suggesting that you should completely swear off your normal skincare line-up in lieu of these skin-enhancing bases, but if you’re going to wear one anyway, why not opt for one that’s super-charged with built-in skincare benefits ? Rather than relying on makeup to disguise our flaws, it seems logical to ...

Kendall Jenner Is Willing to be Beyoncé’s Personal Assistant to Learn All Her Secrets & Same

Image
There isn’t much that’s off-limits to this Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s star. But like the rest of us, there is  one  person who’s kind of untouchable to her: Beyoncé. It’s why Kendall Jenner wants to be Beyoncé’s personal assistant —it’s perhaps the only way to get a glimpse into the life of a living legend. Kendall, 24, isn’t shy when it comes to fangirling from time to time. And if it has to do with Beyoncé, we don’t blame her. In a new behind-the-scenes video for her Spring 2020 Calvin Klein campaign released on Feb. 28, the supermodel declared that she would be absolutely interested in becoming Queen Bey’s personal assistant—even for a year. “If I had to be a personal assistant for a year, I’d pick Beyoncé,” she said. “Just ’cause I wanna know what she eats in the morning. I just wanna know what she has for breakfast.” Ok, Kendall, we see you—clearly, you clicked through that viral Beyoncé personal assistant thread on Twitter . Kendall also weighed in on why a ro...

Ashley Benson Just Took the Suit Dress to a Whole New Level at the Balmain PFW Show

Image
As I’m sure most of you have noticed, suits are one of the reigning trends of 2020 so far. After dominating the year 2019, suiting has become even  more prevalent—If that’s even possible—in the new decade. With each trend, though, comes offshoots and variations on a theme. For instance, fashionistas and celebrities have been wearing their suits in  dress form, combining both the classic silhouettes of a suit  and mini dress. A perfect example of this new trend is the outfit Ashley Benson wore at Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week show on Friday. And not only did the actress  wear this trend, but she brought it to an entirely new level. If I’m being honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of the suit dress trend . The combination has never excited me much, and I’d much rather see a unique suit or a gorgeous dress—not both turned into a kind of weird mash-up ensemble. That being said, Ashley Benson may have changed my mind. The suit/tuxedo dress Benson wore to the Balmain P...

Zoë Kravitz Had the Best Response to Someone Who Asked if She Got Lip Fillers

Image
In today’s edition of hilarious celebrity clapbacks, we’ve got Zoë  Kravitz’s response to plastic surgery lip filler questions. The Big Little Lies  actress had no time for the foolishness taking place in her Instagram comments section after she posted a photo to the social media platform on Feb. 26. Zoë captioned the selfie, “pre @ysl show vibes @yslbeauty Rouge Pur Couture Slim Sheer Matte 102 + Natural Pink and Volupte Liquid Balm 1 ,” highlighting the makeup products she used to achieve her perfect pout on display in the photo. Yet  someone assumed the actress had work done to her lips instead. A user by the name of @annasagi1 commented, “Babe, what have u done to your beautiful natural lips?? .” Yep, I’ll let that one sink in for a moment before we get into why Zoë literally had to remind  this person that, A) lipgloss can do wonders for plumping and, B) this is how her lips have always looked. Even though Zoë didn’t owe this random, invasive commenter an...
