The Sunday Scaries. Hangxiety. No matter what you call it, we’ve all been there. Your head is throbbing, you can’t even figure out how to navigate your Favor app (which is further complicated by the fact your eyes are welling up with tears from that stupid Hallmark movie on tv.) All this begs the question: […]

featured photo via urban outfitters It seems like nowadays (on Instagram, at least) all of the girls are gaga for fall. They’re all longing for sweater weather and hot coffees and “coziness.” Not me, friend. Because you know what comes after fall? That long, interminable season known as winter.

Here’s why: the right concealer for you (meaning: the right shade, the right coverage level, etc.) can completely change the way your face looks—in a good way, with […]

I have to admit: when sheet masks first exploded onto the beauty scene, I was a little skeptical. They seemed kitschy at best—and why is something like a single-serving face mask even necessary?
