Like any (old) millennial who scrolls through TikTok for hours, I’m pretty easily influenced by the products I see reviewed over and over again. Not since the early YouTube days has a social platform had such influence on what people buy—especially in the beauty world. That’s why after just a few days, I knew I had to do a KVD Vegan Beauty Good Apple Foundation review . There is no middle ground with this product. Some love it and swear it’s life-changing and others think it’s a miss. I try a lot of products so let’s see how it works with my skin. First, let me give you the rundown on Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Foundation Balm. There are 40 shades taking into account undertones. It promises to be both lightweight and full-coverage with a natural matte finish. It starts off cream but dries down to this powdery finish. It’s infused with apple extract and sodium hyaluronate to help nourish and hydrate skin. The creamy, non-comedogenic formula is buildable but it’s pretty full-coverage w

Chic Vanity Tables to Elevate Your Beauty Routine

Sure, many of us prop up in front of our floor mirror or uncomfortably stand in the bathroom to do our skincare routine and put on our makeup. But imagine having a dedicated place to sit down, relax, and get ready for the day or night? On top of that, what is this designated place also organized and beautifully displayed all of your luxe cosmetics, chic perfume bottles, and products whose packaging is more appealing than the actual formula it contains? Sounds pretty glamorous, right? While vanity (a.k.a. dressing tables) were pretty commonplace back in old-school Hollywood, now they feel like quite the luxury—especially if you’re current place has limited space. However, if you can make it fit, you’d be surprised at how compact, elegant, and surprisingly affordable some of these vanity tables can be these days. Whether you’re keen on ornate, vintage-style home decor pieces, or prefer contemporary, minimalist furnishings, there are plenty of wallet-friendly dressing tables to suit any

Beyoncé Just Posted a Rare Photo of Her Twins & They Are So Grown Up Now

Image
It’s so rare that we get a glimpse at Beyoncé’s twins , so any day Queen Bey shares a photo of Rumi and Sir is a day to celebrate. And that day has come: The “Black Parade” singer just shared the sweetest flicks of her kids on Instagram, and we can’t believe how grown up they all are now. Beyoncé welcomed Rumi and Sir Carter with her husband Jay-Z in June 2017. While we know this marks over three years since her twins entered the world, it’s still kind of mindblowing to realize that these babies aren’t actually babies anymore. In case you needed any confirmation, though, just take a look at the photos Bey shared from her recent trip to the beach with her family. The “Brown Skin Girl” singer, 39, shared a gallery of flicks to her Instagram on Wednesday, March 31. In the first, Bey posed with her eldest daughter, 9-year-old Blue Ivy Carter. The duo sported cute frames in the flick, which was taken just two weeks after both took home Grammy awards at the 63rd Annual Recording Academy

The 2000s look better now than they did when we were living them. Seriously, my memories of the aughts involve embellished thongs peeking out from low-rise jeans, satin slip silhouettes that highlighted even the subtlest of food babies, and chainmail—all  kinds  of chainmail. But  2000s clo t hes  have seen something of a resurrection in recent years—here are the pieces that are worth revisiting in 2021. 2020 was characterized by a veritable blend of retro resurrections. The ’90s have been cool for years now—dad sneakers, mom jeans and boyfriend sweatshirts, included. The ’70s are seeing a brief revival this year, too. Farrah Fawcett-inspired curtain bangs and flare jeans are bigger than they’ve ever been. But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that every single girl on TIkTok is channeling some serious 2000s vibes right now. Yes, the majority of my own outfit catastrophes took place during the early aughts, but there were some redeeming qualities about that very blingy decad
