Smashbox Just Upgraded Its Iconic Primers With Skincare Ingredients

As an old millennial, I’ve been wearing makeup for many, many years. And still, one of the first primers I ever really incorporated into my routine was from Smashbox. The brand really taught me what primer does for both the skin and the makeup on top of it, whether that’s smoothing out texture or banishing redness. That’s why I was stoked to try Smashbox’s new Silkscreen Primers — and they’re even better than the OGs.

If you love the cult-fave Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer, don’t worry — it’s here to stay. But now there are four new Photo Finish Silkscreen Primers (one more is coming in April) with skincare-like ingredients to not only prep the skin for makeup but improve it as well. This line creates a breathable, “silkscreen” barrier that perfects the skin pre-foundation. Each primer has the “Silkscreen Complex” with antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, probiotic extract, vitamins and algae to hydrate, reduce redness, brighten or mattify.

Instead of just covering up imperfections, these ingredients work to actually “fix” them while you’re wearing makeup. It’s a real 2-in-1 product.

I Went Down a CBD Rabbit Hole So You Don’t Have To

Image
Last year, a road trip that ended in Los Angeles made one thing abundantly clear: the world’s obsession with all things CBD had taken on a life of its own. On the west coast (far away from my NYC home base), it felt like literally everyone kept a tincture or face oil on hand for all-too-common concerns like breakouts and insomnia. And though I was hardly interested in hoarding the best CBD products for myself, it definitely piqued my interest. This also isn’t to say that indulging in the plant’s psychoactive benefits is a bad thing. It really just comes down to preference. And if you’re anything like me–i.e., can’t smoke or consume an edible without canceling the entire day–then the non-psychoactive pros may be more your speed. So like any good product junkie, I decided to basically swan-dive into trying any and every CBD-infused beauty and wellness product I could get my hands on. (If you need a full breakdown on what CBD actually is, here you go .) First, it’s worth noting that

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

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,
