There’s a reason why seemingly half of the fragrance-wearing population names Le Labo’s iconic (and best-selling) Santal 33 as their signature scent — the unisex cologne smells pretty damn amazing on virtually everyone . As we all know, the same fragrance can smell wildly different from person to person, and while this is also certainly the case when it comes to Santal 33, it’s also surprisingly universally flattering. However, it’s not cheap , and if you opt to wear it on the reg, you do also run the risk of smelling slightly similar to half of the bar on any given night when you go out — at least in LA, that is. Unfortunately, finding solid Le Labo Santal 33 dupes isn’t exactly easy, as the legendary perfumery likes to keep their proprietary blends uber-exclusive (despite the massive cult following they’ve clearly attained). In case for some reason you haven’t ever gotten a whiff of this beloved scent, it exudes a woodsy-sweet cast that smells rugged, yet not overly masculine; he

Aside from the fact that the 4th of July weekend is almost here (happy Independence Day, BTW!), it’s also officially summer, which means that e-tailers and fashion labels are already trying to clear their warm-weather inventory to make room for fall styles to fill the racks and are serving some stellar deals. What better way to help jump-start your Fourth of July sale shopping plans than with discounted goodies? While it may be puzzling for all of us non-fashion-buyers (yes, summer literally just began), it’s actually good news for us fashion lovers who also just so happen to live for a bargain, (*raises hand*) because summer sales and clearances actually start right when the season officially begins — aka now. This means you can score some major deals on seasonal-ready essentials like stylish wedding guest dresses, current swimwear styles, and hopelessly cute sandal styles galore — all without having to pay full price. Plus, you’ll get to wear your new on-sale scores ASAP since y

This may be gross, (or perhaps, TMI at best) but, am I the only skincare connoisseur who admittedly finds the sheer satisfaction of pulling off a charcoal peel-off mask utterly delightful? I mean, I love seeing all of the dirt, grime and white residue emerge from pores after a treatment, and I have a hunch that I’m not alone in this my enjoyment of this twisted pleasure. Aside from the visceral glory of seeing all the impurities and blackhead-causing gunk effectively removed my pores, there’s also something to be said about the visual splendor of seeing visible results from using a charcoal mask for clogged pores, and seeing your endeavors pay off instantly right in front of your eyes. There are very few at-home and over-the-counter skincare products that offer the same level of instant gratification that pore-cleansing mask is capable of. As a side note, I should probably mention that I’m actually not a huge fan of face masks, in general. I know, I’m in the minority on this view. Cal

Since his divorce from Britney Spears, fans have wondered what Kevin Federline ‘s net worth is and how much he’s received in spousal and child support from his ex-wife. K-Fed and Britney met at a club in Hollywood in 2004 and immediately started dating. “I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away,” K-Fed told People in 2008. “I was madly in love with her. Everything just seemed so right. I didn’t see it as too fast or too slow.” In September 2004, three months after they started dating, K-Fed and Britney married in a surprise wedding in Studio City, California. In an interview with People in 2008, Britney explained that she and K-Fed planned to have a formal wedding a month later, but decided against it. “I just thought it would be too much if we had done it when we were supposed to,” she said at the time. “It became this huge thing and I was like, ‘What are we waiting for? We know this is the real thing, why not just do

On most days, sunscreen isn’t an afterthought. In fact, it’s been at top of my mind for the past month. Between this heatwave and the gargantuan amount of mosquitoes nipping away at my arms and legs, I don’t leave the house unless I’m covered in SPF and multiple layers of bug spray. It’s kind of like summer camp, minus the smores, swimming pool, campfire songs, and daily human interaction. (I hope my social skills are still intact by the end of this year.) I’ve never been loyal to one sunscreen brand. I typically try something and as long as it doesn’t clash with my makeup or make my skin look gray, I’ll use it until another option comes along. That tradition ends with this Black Girl Sunscreen review because, oh my goodness— where have you been all of my life?! Okay, to be fair…it’s been sitting on my desk for longer than I’d like to admit. Black Girl Sunscreen has been around since 2016 and before then, I listened to friend after friend rave about how much they were obsessed with
