In fact, based on ancient text and archaeological discoveries, researchers date the creation of perfume — then just a simple concoction of flowers and oil — back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia around the 2nd millennium B.C. Fast-forward a few thousand years (aka right now) and we’re still just as obsessed with smelling delightful. Perfumes are so much more than just a fragrance, though. They have the power to make a statement without saying a word. They evoke beautiful (and not so beautiful) memories, and they are one of daily life’s simplest, but most enjoyable, little pleasures that we do just for ourselves. “Fragrance helps us create an identity,” says Eduardo Valadez, marketing director at the storied French fragrance house, Diptyque. “Fragrance is something that’s very personal; it’s about ...

Oftentimes when we talk about the importance of using the correct hair drying tools, we’re referencing products like blow dryers, brushes, and combs. But the drying process starts long before you start to unravel the cords of your favorite hot tools. It begins with the fabric you swaddle your just-washed strands in. Keeping your tresses healthy and strong involves more than hair masks and detox shampoos. Believe it or not, your shower linens can both positively and negatively impact your overall hair health, too. Investing in microfiber hair towels and hair wraps can make all the difference. Microfiber towels are considered one of the best hair styling tools and as towels are typically the first thing your tresses come in contact with post-shampoo, they’re certainly worthy of adding to your haircare collection. Top Hair Wraps + Microfiber Hair Towels of 2...

While there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a fresh manicure, constant trips to the salon can become super expensive. This cost can make it hard to motivate yourself to try new things, and just generally prohibitive. That said, recently there have been tons and tons of press-on nail options popping up on Amazon. These are not the cheap press on nails from the early 90s; these are high-quality, durable and perhaps most importantly, absolutely beautiful. Amazon Prime members will get free shipping in just two days, so they’re the perfect option for those looking to throw on some nails before a big event or last minute gathering. Since they’re all attached with glue, they are super easy to apply. You simply dab a small amount of the provided glue onto the inside of the press on nail and place it on your real nail. To remove, just soak them in acetone for up...

That means Mother’s Day is around the corner. While you should show your mom appreciation and love all year ‘round, the dedicated holiday to celebrate her is May 8. Mother’s Day is the one day of the year that makes her feel extra special, especially when she gets to open something that will make her smile.  But the idea of nailing down the perfect gift for mom can be overwhelming, especially when scrolling through the endless pit of the internet. What does she need? What does she want? Will she use this item, or will it collect dust? All sorts of questions arise, and gift-giving decision fatigue kicks in.  This year, Amazon has a wider selection than ever before, and with fast shipping and a few clicks, your Mother’s Day shopping will be crossed off your to-do list in no time.  The different types of gifts to give your...

Finding your perfect concealer can be a little bit like trying to find the yellow brick road. Wading through the deep sea of brands, shades, textures and levels of coverage is enough to send anyone into a tailspin, especially someone with dry, acne-prone or plain old sensitive skin (I have all three). So when I met with Annie Lawless Jacobs, the founder and CEO of Lawless Beauty — one of Sephora’s fastest-growing brands — to hear about her latest product debut, a concealer aptly named Conseal the Deal Concealer (not to be confused with their Conseal the Deal Foundation), I had a healthy bit of skepticism that this new little number would move the needle in a meaningful way. It is, after all, an already overcrowded market. But after learning about its cocktail of skin care-quality ingredients and feeling its smooth, serum-like texture that still provided s...

It’s true that $400 is quite a bit of money (more than the average rent in some parts of the country!) and I never thought I’d spend even a fraction of that on a hair dryer — until I heard about the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. Just take a look at these stats: It promises to increase shine by up to 132%, improve smoothness by up to 75% and decrease frizz and flyaways by up to 61%. Plus, it does all of this faster than any other hair dryer out there and without causing a bit of heat damage to your strands.  So as someone with frizzy type 2 hair who has yet to perfect the art of drying their own hair, I was curious to test out the popular Dyson hair dryer, along with all of its attachments (if only to tell everyone that it’s not as magical as everyone says).  Sign up for WWD’S The Essentialist newsletter to get the scoop on the best ...
