Virtual ‘Squad Shopping’ With Friends Is Now A Thing

Of all the things I love doing with my friends—talking shit, taking Instagram photos, getting guys to buy us drinks at happy hour—shopping is our most cherished bonding activity. Whether we’re saving each other a spot on Zara’s painfully-long fitting room line or digging through bins at the thrift, shopping together is one of our favorite things to do, and stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines are really harshing our vibe. Fortunately, one company has created a solution, and the Squadded Shopping Party app is here to make the squad shopping trend happen.

I know what you’re thinking. You already have so many apps; do you really need another one? If you like having your BFF’s approval before splurging on a new ‘fit, then yes. Yes, you do. The Squadded Shopping Party app is unique in that it lets you and your friends converse about potential purchases before you buy, so you can skip sending links to your group chat and do it all while you browse.

Remember how excited you were to download Ship, the dating app that lets your friends swipe for you? Squadded is the same, but a thousand times more exciting, because instead of shopping for love, you’re shopping for shoes.

So, how to use Squadded to your shopping delight? Though it’s hailed as “the first app to shop with your friends on,” it’s really a browser extension you can download on your computer. Once installed, you can shop sites like ASOS, Missguided, Zara, Topshop and even Sephora, just to name a few. When you find items you like, you can add them to your wishlist, poll your friends for advice and even see what other users are loving. It’s kind of ingenious.

BTW, if you’re a brand, you can register your own site on Squadded so your customers can use it while shopping—and it could really work in your favor. All you need is one buyer to share her latest find with her friends, and your sales could triple if they all decide they have to have it!

If you’re looking for a good excuse to online shop today, Squadded is it. I’ve already downloaded and invited all my friends, and I’ll be damned if it isn’t a pretty similar experience to our usual post-brunch boutique perusing. Granted, the vibe is different when you’re shopping online, but in the event that you can’t meet up IRL, Squadded is definitely the next best thing.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
