Designer Jason Wu’s affordable beauty line is an under-the-radar favorite you’d be crazy to miss. It hawks ultra-soft lipstick and lip liner, faux freckles, eyeshadow palettes and so much more — all for less than $18. But it’s the Jason Wu Beauty Magic Matte Face Oil that’s going viral on TikTok right now. I have to admit, as much as I love Wu’s makeup, I skipped right over this mattifying product because my skin is on the dry side. But watching TikTokers use it to gorgeous results, and it seems I was wrong. Makeup artist Megs Cahill took to TikTok to share her new favorite find. “As you can see I’m looking pretty glowy right now, and I want to go ahead and get that beautiful, supermodel matte look,” she says. She applies a few drops to one side of her makeup-free face and rubs it in. After it sets, she notes how one side of her face looks shiny and the other has a soft matte finish. And her skin isn’t even oily! This means it’s a must-have for those with oily skin . Cahill says h...

Take a peek at the razor tucked away in your bathroom cabinet or counter—is it plastic? Disposable? Is there another whole bag of them scurried away in the drawer? Quit using those, pronto! We bet that if you took all the plastic disposable shaving razors people around the world have tossed into the bin, you could make a landfill the size of Texas. For those without epilators or deep pockets for regular waxing , it is time to go eco-friendly with sustainable razors . Going green when it comes to shaving is three-pronged: aside from one that can be reloaded perpetually, the stick should be made of recyclable, sustainable materials or recycled plastic, and, ideally, the blades made by the brand should also be recyclable. Luckily, there are loads of razors you can buy online right now that fulfill at least two out of those three criteria. Also note that these razors are super chic looking, so if you’re picturing something that looks like your boyfriend’s crusty razor, think again. And f...

Sage is all the rage for 2022. Paint brands like PPG and Sherwin-Williams have all converged on this one earthy, muted green shade, choosing sage as their color of the year (that Benjamin Moore Ocean Mist color—just oooh). We have our eye on this burgeoning design trend which has conjured loads of gorgeous minimal-yet-statement-making sage green decor pieces from a plethora of stores. Call it moss, jade or sea green, sage green’s silvery undertones put it in a sort of undefinable middle ground—neutral enough to suit anyone’s taste, subtle enough to never clash with other decor colors, and somehow prominent enough to set the mood in any room. Sage green is made for people who run from colors and stick to blacks, greys and whites (yes, you) when it comes to their interiors, being non-overpowering and going so well with just about any design aesthetic. On top of adding an understated pop of color to any room, sage is also a way of bringing nature inside. Just like sage leaves, which th...

Eco-friendly. Green. Toxin-free. These are some words spotted in a gazillion greenwashed ads, regularly tossed around to describe sustainable cleaning products . Problem is, these catchphrases emblazoned on your laundry detergent or soap may not always be entirely truthful, given that the use of such words is not regulated. To clear the air, we must all become acutely aware of brands that are legit and learn ways of making everyday cleaning more sustainable and less toxic. To spur you on, we’ve done the digging for you.

They don’t feel too different from what you’re already using and are pretty affordable. Not all of us are ready to go ...

One of my personal favorite moments of 2021 was when the fashion girlies managed to make wired headphones a trend. The simple notion of a wired earbud loosely framing the face was suddenly “in,” and thus, AirPods were “out”. I find joy in knowing that the Silicon Valley tech forecasts were thrown for a tangled loop because Bella Hadid was photographed wearing the older headphone style. This move made Bella Hadid a pseudo-authority figure on lobe accessories across fashion and tech, and our queen has stepped out once again and this time, she’s rocking the winter earmuff trend .  Source: Instagram Earmuffs have the same cool factor as headphones because they automatically imply that you do not care to hear what is going on around you. A good pair of earmuffs are essentially soundproof and obviously have the main benefit of keeping your ears warm. Beyond the functionality of earmuffs, they are super freaking cute and beat wearing a beanie. Winter accessories are pretty limited to s...

Rumors about Aaron Rodgers’ retirement from the NFL have been swirling around for some time now—but the Green Bay Packers quarterback is finally letting fans know his plans for after this season. When asked at a press conference if he’s planning to throw in the towel in 2022, the Packer’s MVP noted that he “wouldn’t rule that out,” per NFL.com . “I think that I’m just enjoying this season for this season. I think that playing next year will definitely be in the thought process,” he explained. “One of the things, wanting to not be a bum on the way out and still be able to play, I think, is important to me.” So far, Rodgers has delivered a strong season for Green Bay, scoring 33 touchdowns and throwing over 3,689 yards in recent weeks—so it’s clear that his performance is still up to par. “If this year has taught me anything, it’s that I still can play, I still have love for the game I’m still super competitive and I still enjoy the process of the week,” Rodgers noted. “I miss practic...
