We’re all looking for time-saving products and techniques when it comes to our beauty routines, especially when they’re beneficial for the overall health of our skin. What if there was a product that reduces your risk of sun exposure (and thus, quicker signs of aging and sunspots), makes you glow like self tanner, and hydrates your skin while wearing it? We bet you’d make a mad dash to Sephora to grab a bottle, right? Well, that miracle-in-a-bottle already exists and it’s a tinted moisturizer with SPF.  What Is Tinted Moisturizer? “It’s just as it sounds — a lightweight moisturizer with a bit of skin tint to act as a hydrator while offering slight pigment for sheer coverage,” says board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman. “This is a great swap for foundations in the summer when you tend to sweat off heavy makeup, and many of them often contain SPF to help prevent sun damage.”   Within the last few years, there have been a wave of brands introducing clever...

We’re all washing our hands a little more these days. While there’s a time and a place for a luxury hand soap, sometimes you just want a classic, everyday staple that won’t break the bank. I certainly didn’t grow up with fancy hand soap — we were a Dial household — and I have a special affinity for drugstore hand soap. Their formulations tend to cleanse so thoroughly that your hands feel completely free of any lingering residue, unlike some of their fancier counterparts that smell and feel nice, but your hands don’t exactly get that squeaky clean feeling. When searching for the best hand soaps, there are so many different textures to choose from — straight-up foam, gel to foam, gel, cream — along with a variety of fragrances. Keep reading our hand soaps guide to find the right option for your needs from top hand soap brands.

The best designer tote bags are undoubtedly the chicest way to carry more than your phone, keys and wallet — think your laptop, a change of shoes or a backup sweater. Perhaps they can hold even on-the-go beauty elixirs and a complete lunch, too. But more than being practical, extra-roomy bags are becoming more coveted, possibly, than the trendiest of mini bags. While the tote bag has been a mainstay and solid bestseller in collections from Saint Laurent to Christian Louboutin for many seasons, Lisa Aiken, former fashion and lifestyle director of Neiman Marcus, tells WWD, “One of the key trends we’ve seen on recent runways is oversized totes, roomy enough to carry all of your essentials. Adding, “Fashion-forward brands such as Khaite and luxury labels like Bottega Veneta are adapting to shifting lifestyles by rethinking proportions for a more elevated and practical look.” Citing Proenza Schouler’s XL ruched carryall, Gabriela Hearst’s Hildegard knotted leather tote and Loewe’s Flamenco ...

Brad Pitt is, through and through, a movie star. Not just in the sense that he’s an actor, but also in that he embodies the glitz and glamour that comes along with it. And for as long as he’s been in the public eye, he’s looked the part. His red carpet style has historically been pretty movie star-like. He wears tailored, expensive suits in event-appropriate colors. Maybe he’ll grow his hair long and slick it back or wear a tux with a fun dress shoe. For the most part, Pitt has stayed pretty buttoned-up. But for the past few weeks, Pitt has been hitting red carpets in loose-fitting suits and the coveted Gucci x Adidas Gazelle sneakers. Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train red carpet outfits have been uncharacteristically casual, but it’s a strong look considering he’s doing “casual” in the much-anticipated Gucci x Adidas sneakers. Most recently, he wore a red pair of Gazelles with an airy linen suit. It takes a whole air of confidence to wear a look like this — the proportions are risky, the vibes...

Back in September, the sustainable shoe and accessories brand, Rothy’s, teased a partnership with Evian Water to create a tennis-inspired capsule collection made out of repurposed Evian water bottles. But not only were they going to create tennis gear, they were going to design and manufacture the collection from recycled Evian bottles sold at the 2021 U.S. Open tournament. Well, the wait is over — the limited-edition capsule collection launched today and these seven pieces are a must for any tennis aficionado. Throughout the 2021 U.S. Open tournament last year, which Evian sponsors, the two brands collected and saved all of the empty water bottles that were purchased by fans — 72,000 bottles, to be precise. From there, Rothy’s processed the bottles using their low waste, circular-focused manufacturing method, which blended the water bottles with other recycled plastic, and made into the thread for this collection.

Today, Dries Van Noten Beauty has announced Saks Fifth Avenue as their exclusive retail partner for their brilliantly designed and curated beauty collection. The brand’s gorgeous, unique fragrances and lipsticks saturated with rich colors can be purchased in-stores as well as online. Belgian designer Dries Van Noten is known for his use of prints, colors, original fabrics and layering in his ready-to-wear collections, and his beauty line follows a similar path of colorful contrasts and striking visuals in the form of sustainable packaging.  Currently, the line includes fragrance and lipsticks — but in packaging we have never seen before. Each fragrance bottle is a playful work of art and a thing of beauty that will add a striking statement to any vanity, due to the juxtaposed materials, patterns and textures, while still paying homage to traditional perfumery with inspiration from apothecary vials.

If you thought shoelaces were simply a functional piece of footwear, Balenciaga is proving you — and all of us — wrong. The brand just debuted a pair of classic-looking black shoelaces with white lines, just as you would see on sneakers, but tied as a bow and crafted into an earring. According to Matches Fashion, “Balenciaga’s black bow earrings are made from shoelaces, highlighting Demna’s ability to incorporate everyday objects into the house’s jewelry collection.” And for those wondering, no, you don’t have to pull the shoelace through your pierced ear — they have post-back fastenings to keep the bow intact and easily take on and off. Not in the market for shoelace bow earrings? The luxury fashion brand continued to think outside of the shoe box with a choker design made of the same cord that features a logo-engraved silver plate for $450. Though one could argue that spending hundreds of dollars on shoelace jewelry might not be the best style investment, this isn’t the first time sh...

Gone are the days when you had to wear two sports bras to keep your breasts supported while running or doing any cardio activity. Sports bras have come a long way since their invention in 1977, especially when it comes to innovative styles for high-impact activities. These days, there are so many workout clothes on the market; finding the right choice might be overwhelming. But have no fear: We’re here to help break down what to look for in the best high-impact sports bras and provide some trusty advice from experts, including myself, a 34DD fitness enthusiast who’s been reviewing activewear and covering the fitness market for a decade. First, let’s cover some of the basics. What is a high-impact sports bra? Unfortunately, sports bras aren’t created equally. The bouncing and jumping you do in HIIT classes require more support than the planks and downward-facing dogs you do in yoga class. Styles that cater to high-impact sports are usually more robust, with thicker straps, larger cups a...

Before you commit to your first summer beach trip, you need to have the gear to execute the day successfully. More important than a towel or sun hat is the bag that will help you carry it all in. A designer beach bag can offer ample storage along with the luxurious vibe you need to live out your sunscreen-slathered fantasies. But, not all beach totes are created equal — investing in a designer tote bag that’s both practical and worthy of a spot on the Instagram feed takes some careful curation. “Think about your beach essentials, and make sure your bag is large enough to stash your beach towel, a book, sandals and a cool drink,” suggests Lisa Park, Vice President/General Merchandise Manager of shoes, handbags and soft accessories at Bergdorf Goodman. “Durability is also key, so invest in something that will hold up to the elements — sand, sea, sun and water. Over-the-shoulder straps or easy-to-carry top handles are also essential as well as pouches or pockets to stash keys and valuable...

According to Google Trends, search interest in lip plumpers has skyrocketed since May 2021. The sudden rise in popularity may be in part due to a few recent viral TikTok videos showcasing how effectively lip plumpers can volumize a pout. The lip-plumping serums and lip glosses’ popularity could also be attributed to the change in lip filler trends, with many filler-proud celebrities announcing in recent years that they’re allowing their fillers to dissolve. A natural lip-plumping alternative to fillers, the best lip plumpers can provide a temporary add volume to your lips without the needle.  A topical plumper is any lip product, whether that be in the form of gloss, balms, masks, oils, or serums, that temporarily swells the lips. According to board-certified dermatologist Macrene Alexiades, some lip plumpers “work temporarily by irritating the lip or transiently causing them to swell.” This is usually accomplished from a proprietary brand blend of active ingredients, whether that ...

One of the things adidas does best is its collaborations. In comparison to some other brands, adidas collaborations are fewer and farther between, which makes the ones that do pop up all the more special. (Yes, Beyonce, we are looking at you.) One of those more recent (and highly anticipated) partnerships is now available to shop today on adidas.com: adidas x Thebe Magugu. This adidas collaboration with the South African designer and eponymous brand is a meeting of good design and cultural significance. Thebe Magugu brings its eye for both inclusivity and range, and the brand does it in such a way that is seamlessly built into the very structure of the clothes. The inspiration, for example, is inspired by African heritage and kinship, demonstrated through the prints on pieces in the collection — prints that are actually artwork designed by Phathu Nembilwi. The moving, flowy colors in bright pinks and oranges come from females in Thebe’s family. Of course, what makes this collaborat...

It’s no secret that shopping for the best bra can be a challenge, especially when you have a larger bust. Not only can finding your proper fit and preferred style be tricky, but finding the best bra for large busts that’s supportive, comfortable and available in your cup size can feel practically like its own installment of the Mission Impossible franchise. Luckily, there’s a growing number of lingerie and underwear brands expanding their size offering and introducing buttery soft, stretch-friendly fabrics that provide all the support and won’t have you counting down to the moment you can finally take off your bra at the end of a long day.

Summer dressing should be easy. You should spend your time planning outdoor activities and enjoying the warm weather, not fussing over an unduly complicated outfit. The best summer dresses are an easy solution that will take the guesswork out of getting dressed when the heat is scorching.  When you’re picking out your ideal summer dress, there are a few things you’ll want to consider. First and foremost, material. Natural lightweight fabrics are best for the warmer weather,” explains Nikki Campbell and Sophie Coote, founders of Australian label Sir. “Particularly linen and cotton or our lightweight Aya knit, which is perfect for layering with swim, the sheer open weave is perfect for summer.”  Another factor worth considering is a dresses’ versatility. If ease is your goal, you’ll want to invest in a style that can easily be worn for a daytime beach visit, or a fancier occasion, simply depending on how you style it. “We always have in mind the versatility of a piece so that th...

If you want to stop washing your hair everyday but can’t imagine walking around with your hair feeling gross and unclean, it’s time to give dry shampoo a try. The best dry shampoo can be the perfect hair pick-me-up for those in-between wash days. Just spray it on, let it sit, then brush it out and — voilà — your hair is good to go for at least another 24 hours. Not to mention, you save a ton of time by not shampooing and restyling your hair every single day.  What is dry shampoo and how does it work? Dry shampoo is typically a fast-drying aerosol powder used to refresh your hair between wash days. A few spritzes to your scalp can give you up to two additional days between washes. “The dry powder encapsulates the oil, surrounds it, and makes it easier to brush out of the scalp without triggering the glands attached to your hair follicles to produce more oil,” explains Julian Contreras, a San Francisco-based hairstylist and colorist at Patrick Evans Salon. When you spray on the dry s...

Packing for a vacation, whether it’s a weeklong international trip or a quick weekend jaunt, is never easy, especially when it comes time to consider the beauty products you want to bring along. We all want outfit options aplenty, which often means there’s no room for bulky hair styling tools like your trusty hair dryer, leaving us to manage with whatever option the hotel or Airbnb has provided — and usually damaging our hair in the process.  “Hotel hair dryers have definitely earned their bad reputation,” says Kirsten Stuke, colorist at Sally Hershberger Salon in New York City, adding that they’re infamous  for being damaging, slow and just overall lackluster. “Having the correct tools can make or break the health of your hair, especially on a beach vacation or just generally anytime you will be out and about in the sun.” While Stuke says that some luxury hotels are now upgrading their hair dryers to more high-quality options, it’s still “never a sure thing” and “smaller...

We love an end of summer sale. It’s the last hurrah of our warm weather favorites, but it’s also a time to think ahead to fall and what needs to be restocked in our medicine cabinet — and thanks to Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale, there’s no time like the present. From now until August 17, Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale is offering up to 25% off selected products. For example, if you toss a NuFace, Peter Thomas Roth, R+Co, Elemis, Beautyblender or Tarte product into your cart, you’ll get 25% off.

All you have to do is add the promo code “CHEERS” at checkout and bam, you’ll watch the pricetag drop. It’s rare that we see some of our favorite brands marked down this much, but since Dermstore’s down to celebrate their anniversary in a big way, so are we. Everything from the tried-and-t...

With the TSA reporting the volume of travels on par to pre-pandemic times, it’s no surprise that the influx of travelers has hit airlines and airports hard. Between delays and canceled flights across the board, along with reports of lost or mishandled baggage from customers, flying has once again become a sore spot for many people. Often, the headache comes from even before setting foot in the airport and it all starts with packing—more specifically, the lack of organization or strategy. Packing cubes are truly the unsung heroes of travel: They keep your clothes neat, tidy and organized, so you don’t have to go rummaging through your suitcase, disrupting all other items in your search. But even worse, excited vacation goers can arrive at their destination, only to discover their checked luggage is lost in transit. “The fear of your luggage getting lost is real, especially right now.” says Lisa Jacobs of Imagine It Done, a New York-based organizational company. “No matter where I am goi...

If the pandemic taught us one thing, it’s that we love a streamlined beauty routine. When it comes to blow drying your hair, anything that will cut down on time, yet not sacrifice one bit of volume or shine, is nothing short of a miracle product. That’s where the best hair dryer brushes come in. A hair dryer brush is a hot tool hybrid—half blow dryer, half traditional round hair brush — that can create waves, curls, or a smooth, straight blowout in one simple step. “I’m a huge fan of blow dryer brushes!” says Chicago-based celebrity hairstylist, Alex Brown, who counts Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid as clients. “They are such an easy way to get a smooth, voluminous ‘blowout’ look. They make it easier to tame frizzy hair, rather than managing a dryer in one hand and a brush in the other.” And the benefits keep rolling. Brown adds that they’re designed to not only combine two blowout steps into one to “make it quicker to achieve a nice style,” but also to manage and smooth...

For all of the Glow Recipe fans, I have good news and bad news: Their TikTok-viral Watermelon Sleeping Mask is being discontinued, but the very good news is that it was completely reformulated into a brand new product, the Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment, which launched today at Sephora.  As someone with supremely sensitive skin, it’s always a sad day when you learn that one of your favorite skin care products is being discontinued. It means you’re back to the search for a new replacement that likely won’t live up to how happy you were with the discontinued one, and your skin will suffer through all of that trial and error. However, given that Glow Recipe isn’t just closing the book on their original Watermelon Mask, but rather presenting a new chapter with an improved formula they spent years refining. I was no doubt curious about how the new treatment would compare against the beloved classic. After learning about the new technology and ingredients that were implemented in th...

It’s hard to talk about the best skin care innovations over the last few years without mentioning internationally renowned dermatologist, Dr. Dennis Gross. His science-backed eponymous skin care line has engineered some of the best and most popular — not to mention incredibly effective — products for every type of skin concern and challenge. In fact, his standout hero product, the Alpha Beta Peels, is sold every two seconds while his SpectraLite FaceWare Pro LED Mask graces nearly every best of list (including ours) when it comes to skin care tech. So when he launches a new collection, we stand up and listen. Today, he debuted his latest range, a vitamin C Lactic collection, at Sephora and Amazon, and it feels like Christmas morning for our complexion. The line includes four different formulas — a serum, a moisturizer, a cream and an eye treatment — that pair seriously high percentages (some of the highest we’ve seen) of antioxidant-rich vitamin C with lactic acid, a milk-derived alpha...

Have oily skin? Or maybe combination — shiny in the T-zone, but dry or balanced in the rest of your face? Or are you just acne-prone? Chances are, you’re one of these three most common skin types, and they usually have one thing in common (especially acne-prone skin): Excess oil production. It’s perfectly normal and even perfectly treatable; the trick is understanding your skin type and providing it with the best products for oily skin, which are specifically crafted to help the problem, starting with a face wash for oily skin. However, finding the best moisturizer for you is a major part of balancing the skin — and, yes, everyone needs a moisturizer, no matter your skin type.  What Causes Oily Skin? “Oily skin is due to overproduction of oil glands in the skin, which produces excess sebum,” says board-certified dermatologist Antony Nakhla. This sebum overproduction can lead to clogged pores, which can encourage bacteria and then causes acne. Oily skin can be due to many factors, i...

However, finding the best moisturizer for you is a major part of balancing the skin — and, yes, everyone needs a moisturizer, no matter your skin type.  What Causes Oily Skin? “Oily skin is due to overproduction of oil glands in the skin, which produces excess sebum,” says board-certified dermatologist Antony Nakhla. This sebum overproduction can lead to clogged pores, which can encourage bacteria and then causes acne. Oily skin can be due to many factors, i...

The hot days and nights of summer may leave you wanting to wear the least amount of clothes you can manage. But there’s one piece that’s a necessity in your closet this time of year: The camisole. This humble, strappy top is versatile and also happens to be easy to pack away in a suitcase (which is always a plus when vacations are looming). But, while you may have heard the term before, what you may not know is how many iterations exist. What is a Camisole? Some may attribute camisoles to sleepwear or lingerie-inspired pajamas, but in truth, there are many iterations of camis, all with many different uses. “Camisoles are more delicate and flowy tank tops,” explains designer Anine Bing. “My collection has beautiful silk and lace camisoles, perfect on their own or for layering.” When figuring out what style of camisole is best for you, consider how you want to use it. Will it be your go-to summer going out top, replacing summer dresses? Or is it more intended to be worn under a button-do...

Summer is heating up, and if you’re searching for cute outfit ideas for the beach, summer weddings and any other occasion while you’re having sun in the fun, you’ve come to the right place. Looking your best in a heatwave can seem challenging at times, but it doesn’t have to be. If there is one thing to remember this summer, it’s to keep things easy. “Looking and feeling effortless is key when it comes to summer dressing,” Sari Sloane, founder of Everafter and The Westside, tells WWD. This philosophy is the solution to perfecting any summer look.  Choosing your shapes and fabrics for summer should both be simple (think one-and-done dresses, flowy pants, and wide-leg jeans). “Soft and natural silhouettes are perfect for warm evenings, and bright pops of color reflect summer’s happy vibe,” Sloane says. “The fabric should feel soft, light on the body, and comfortable,” Meredith Melling, Chief Officer of La Ligne, tells us. “When temperatures rise, staying cool and comfortable are high...

Hair straighteners are one of those deceptive hair styling tools that looks simple enough, but when it comes to actually using it, the process is far more complicated. Ever spent a considerable amount of time styling your hair with a flat iron only to find crispy ends, zig-zag patterns and strands that feel toasty? Those are just a few signs that it’s time to upgrade your hair straightener. And the truth is, using one of the best flat irons can give you a range of trendy hairstyles, from straight to wavy or even curly — if you know what to look for in a hot tool. When I was thirteen, I remember begging my mom for my first hair straightener, desperate to achieve the early-aught stick hair hairstyles. Once my wish was granted, without knowledge or consideration for my hair health, I endlessly straightened my hair to a crisp, using the highest heat setting possible and the cheapest straighteners I could get my hands on to stretch my allowance. As an adult, I cringe at those memories, but ...

Makeup has a way of melting off during hot summer months: You look in the mirror mid-day and the foundation and concealer you spent time applying has smudged and faded. Setting powder is a secret weapon for locking the pigments in place. With the right formula, you won’t need to bring a touch-up kit when you head out the door.  What is Setting Powder? Setting powder is an easy product to incorporate into your routine — put simply, it seals your makeup in place to extend the wear time. “They reduce oil, help to mattify skin, and are also great for securing cream products in place,” says Nashville-based makeup artist Claire Balest. They also help powder makeup blend seamlessly over wetter formulas — when you add a powder bronzer or blush over a liquid foundation, a dusting of setting powder between the two makes the transition seamless.  Top Setting Powders for 2022 Best for Fine Lines: Tatcha The Silk Powder Protective Finishing Powder Best Loose Setting Powder: Laura Mercier T...

Not all acne-prone skin is created equal. Skin that frequently has blemishes can come in a vast variety of skin types: oily, dry, sensitive, and even happily balanced. But one myth seems to follow those with acne-prone skin no matter the skin type — that they can skip moisturizers altogether.  “Absolutely false,” says Dr. Rachel Maiman, the board-certified dermatologist at Marmur Medical. “In fact, failing to use a moisturizer can exacerbate the problem,” she says. “The reason for this is that the skin possesses feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis or balance. When the skin is dehydrated, which can happen to all skin types, even oily, because dehydration is a deficiency of water, not oil, this triggers sebaceous glands to increase their production of oil in an attempt to compensate. In turn, this triggers more acne.”  The trick? Choosing the right moisturizer for your skin type and never skipping the step.  Top Moisturizers for Acne-Prone Skin for 2022 Best Gel Moi...
