A year after launching her brand ITEM Beauty, co-founder Addison Rae’s line will be launching at Sephora–both online and in-store–on August 19th. “I’ve loved Sephora my entire life,” Rae told ELLE.com. “I got introduced to clean beauty from Sephora. So it’s really exciting that we get to be a part of Clean at Sephora now.

Ask anyone who frequents a spa for facials and they’ll tell you the most satisfying part of the visit is the sense of ease you feel when the esthetician puts a steamer to your face. You’ve heard the claims: facial steamers open your pores, allow products to penetrate deeper, and brighten the skin. But how

Here’s a little background information on me and my hair: I am the proud owner of mistreated, heat-damaged curls, which makes me very, very wary of new products. When I go on vacation with my boyfriend, he uses the hotel’s mini bottles of shampoo and conditioner. I giggle at this while unpacking the ten hair

Not to sound like 2010’s hipster, but I liked the Bioderma Sensibo H20 Micellar Water first: I had to scour New York City boutique pharmacies to find somewhere that sold it back in my day. I had to order it online directly from France. I had to make friends in Europe ship it to me,

Batiste Touch of Gloss Shine Mist ulta.com $12.99 Just like you have a skincare routine, your hair care shouldn’t stop after you wash and style. Between washes, it’s important to develop a roster of products that can help keep your hair looking fresh until it’s time to hit the showers again. In the video above,

Rihanna’s brand Fenty–which has become a go-to for skincare, makeup, and body care–is breaking into a new category: Fragrance!

If you’ve ever wondered what Catwoman smells like, the answer is probably YSL Beauty’s Black Opium Eau de Parfum. Actress and singer Zoë Kravitz–who you’ve seen in Big Little Lies, High Fidelity, and your dreams–is a longtime partner with the French brand. “I love working with YSL,” Kravitz told ELLE.com. “It’s always so fun to

Move over Fairy Dust by Paris Hilton, Glow by J. Lo, and White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor— God is a Woman, the newest fragrance from Ariana Grande, is the best celebrity scent on the market, period. Full stop. I said what I said. Ariana Grande God Is A Woman Eau de Parfum Ariana Grande ulta.com

I used to be smug about the fact that I never went through a skinny eyebrow phase until I recently flipped open a photo album and got a heavy dose of reality splashed all over me. As someone who went to middle school with unclever children in the early ’00s, I’ve endured many nasty comments

Almost a year ago, the brilliant minds behind OUAI and Byredo–celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, and perfumer Ben Gorham, respectively–unleashed what we never knew we needed: A dry shampoo combined with the classic Mojave Ghost perfume, the perfect melding of these two iconic brands. Now, they’ve done it again. Available to buy on August 3rd, OUAI

Artem Varnitsin / EyeEmGetty Images I’ve made my fair share of uh-oh buys on Amazon (see: that fantastic deal on a nightstand that ended up being doll furniture), but when it comes to finding top-notch, no-mistakes-here beauty purchases, it has the best of the best. Whether you’re trying to find the latest and greatest in

Do you really know what you’re putting on your face? In 2019, the documentary Toxic Beauty hit streaming services and beauty consumers instantly became nervous about the contents of their makeup bags. One significant component of the film is the examination of the link between cancer and talcum powder. Talc, a white mineral mainly of

Three years ago, Abigail O’Laughlin sat in the parking lot of a Chick-fil-A in Destin, Florida, her heart racing. She was meeting her eating disorder recovery coach, and they were planning to eat one of the foods she feared most. A chicken sandwich might not seem like a big deal to some, but two of

I’m not too fond of face scrubs. As a beauty editor, I’m not proud of disowning an entire category and now you know my dark, non-exfoliated secret. All that changed recently when I met the new Kopari California Glow Enzyme Scrub. My eyes lingered on the semi-translucent container and its honeydew-colored cap. I reached out

The speed at which a conversation about plastic can divert to babies could break currently held land-speed records. This is a fact I learned while talking to actress Emma Roberts about her recent decision to give up plastics for a week. The reason? “I feel like, especially after having a baby, I just see how

The beauty industry has a bad habit of labeling actual change—eliminating harmful ingredients or including actual representation in imagery—as trends. Clean beauty has become a casualty of this phenomenon, which is only emphasized when brands use vague terms and greenwash their products, despite a lack of commitment to true sustainability. Hopefully, this “fad” is here

Thanks to the rise of skincare TikTok—a popular destination on the short-form content app where users can discover new product recommendations, skincare tips, and debunked myths from skin experts—it’s becoming increasingly difficult to determine who you should be investing your time and money into. Do I trust the skincare influencer with 6.7 million followers whose

Marc Jacobs has been dictating trends for three decades, but the designer’s most recent showstopper wasn’t on the runway. Instead, Jacobs dropped a post-face-lift photo (gauze and all!) onto his Instagram feed, and it’s all anyone wants to talk about. This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content

If you’re easily smitten by scent or you’ve taken to creating a WFH set-up that looks like a small séance-for-one, allow me to interrupt your afternoon with some very good news. Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale finally opens up to the public next week on Wednesday, July 28, which means that one of the best (and only)

If there’s one thing I miss about not working from home–besides, like, seeing human beings daily–it’s the comforting morning routine. A hint of blush, a sweep of eyeshadow, a lipstick that doesn’t get smudged on my face and cause pimples underneath my mask. These days, I don’t wear makeup at all unless I’m trying to

A little bit about me: I’m not a trendsetter; I’m a serial trend follower. Did I find my favorite lipstick based on the one I saw Lily-Rose Depp wearing? Yep. Did I shave my head when Halsey did because I noticed how chic it looked? Sure did. So, after years of seeing celebrities as beautiful

Welcome to the future…of livestreaming. ELLE.com and Verishop, the social shopping app that allows experts to stream shopping events (bringing the fun of QVC back to e-commerce!), are teaming up for four live beauty events where you can watch and shop ELLE editors’ favorite beauty picks.

If you’ve been on social media in the past five years, aesthetically, it’s clear—the lips have it. In the past, lip injections were often an undiscussed augmentation. (Then again, most aesthetic alterations were hush-hush until the online beauty renaissance.) Now, there’s over 1.6M hashtags on Instagram with tagged photos of lip injections and lip fillers,
