Lizzo Combined Four Different Nail Trends in One Manicure at the People’s Choice Awards — See Photos

written by

[ad_1]

Up on that stage, the manicure sang its praise to several current nail trends as well. We’re talking red nail theory, the ombré French, hints of gold chrome, and diamond embellishments. Ishizu gave the red and midnight-purple colorway a glaring contrast by placing pieces of tiny gold foil directly atop a final coat of OPI’s GelColor Stay Shiny Top Coat. As for the base of the nails, Ishizu hand-drew a few blue dots and white dainty lines.

From the neck down, though, the People’s Champion honoree truly was a vision in blue. All the hues incorporated in her manicure translated into her Alexander McQueen gown. Tangy red embroidery hemmed the bodice and cobalt blue accentuated the train of the dress. Ishizu’s final touch of gold flakes complemented Lizzo’s gold jewelry and hair accessories laced within her stellar fauxhawk.

Every wardrobe requires the perfect tank, a.k.a. the Cool Racerback Short Tank. This U-neck top is crafted from a sweat-wicking material that uses Lycra to guarantee retention — basically, you’ll be able to wear this $19 tank (down from $48) a trillion times and it will always look and feel the same way it did when you first bought it.

Lululemon Define Jacket Luon

Lululemon Power Pivot Ribbed Tank Top

Chilly temps mean that workouts, however sweaty, require a lightweight layer at the beginning of class — and that’s where the Define Jacket comes in. This jacket is sleek, hip-length, sweat-wicking, and smartly designed with thumbholes to keep sleeves in place.

The Power Pivot Ribbed Tank comes in a slew of vibrant colors; we’re talking hot pink, highlighter yellow, and poolside blue. But, if you’re more into neutrals, this high-neck top caters to your clothing preferences with black, clay, and bronze green colorways. Snag it while it’s $39 instead of $58 for a chic addition to any daytime outfit, workout-related or not

Lululemon Lightweight Mesh Reversible Yoga T-Shirt

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Fleece Funnel-Neck Half-Zip

Down from $58 to $39, the Lightweight Mesh Reversible Yoga T-Shirt has a versatile design that makes it perfect for pairing with leggings for workout classes or your favorite high-rise denim for brunch. There are two ways to wear this breathable top: keep the subtle twist-front in the front or back.

Winter weather means cozy layers, and this Scuba Oversized Fleece Funnel-Neck Half-Zip understood the “feel like we’re wrapped in several blankets at all times” assignment. Currently $49 off, this oversized layer is lined with a soft cotton jersey and contains a kangaroo pocket to store your phone (or keep your hands warm when you’ve forgotten your gloves).

Lululemon Merino Wool-Blend Ribbed Long Wrap Sweater

Lululemon Court Crush Tennis Dress

Drape the Merino Wool-Blend Wrap Sweater over any outfit of your choice — whether that’s a sports-bra-and-leggings combo or loungewear look — for a dash of warmth. This cozy, relaxed-fit fabric is thermoregulating, meaning you won’t be overheating or shivering, and shimmies over your bum for extra coverage.

Sure, you can channel your inner Serena and wear the Court Crush Tennis Dress (now $69, originally $138) for a game — but it’s also the perfect, one-and-done outfit for errands, coffeeshop dates, touring a new city, and more. Plus, there are dual-entry pockets that fit a tennis ball, phone, wallet, or whatever else you need. We strongly recommend adding this to your wardrobe; it’s a comfy, put-together outfit that doesn’t require foraging for a matching top and bottom.

Lululemon Bottoms on Sale

Lululemon Power Thru High-Rise Tights

Lululemon Wunder Train High-Rise Tight with Pockets 25″

Every good wardrobe starts with good leggings, and that’s where the Power Thru High-Rise Tights come in. They’re available in 20 hues (ranging from solid colors to patterns), an abrasion-resistant fabric means it won’t pull or have loose threads, and the rise is even higher in the back to keep your underwear from being exposed. And at 50 percent off, you can’t go wrong.

30 Celebrity Beauty Brands That Are Here to Stay

written by

[ad_1]

Celebrities have been associated with beauty for as long as their images could be printed. The original influencers — actors and musicians — have lent their faces (and hair and bodies) to countless ad campaigns for beauty brands. And they still do, often as extremely well-compensated “brand ambassadors.” But it seems, nowadays, leasing out their face (or hair or body) simply isn’t enough for some of the more aesthetically eager and ambitious celebrities. We are living in the age of the celebrity beauty brand.

Sure, we’ve watched as countless celebrities have launched a fragrance or two or 25, but the 21st century — in particular the last few years — has seen an unprecedented rise in makeup, skin-care, and hair-care companies founded by famous folks who couldn’t resist the lure of beauty entrepreneurship. Some have already come and gone (remember Jessica Simpson’s Dessert Beauty?), while others have stayed the course for many years now (your beauty lineup may well include something from Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty).

And despite the fickle nature of the genre and the fatigue that can sometimes outweigh fan enthusiasm, celebrity beauty brands show no sign of slowing. We know of at least half a dozen confirmed to be in the works, some by celebrities who have already succeeded in one cosmetic category and want to expand into another. (Fenty Hair, anyone?)

Here, you’ll find the celebrities who currently have thriving beauty brands. Each one’s star products are proof that a famous name on the label isn’t a solid reason to try them. But the serious research, science, and thoughtfulness that went into them sure is.

In an ideal world, budgets wouldn’t exist when it comes to holiday gifting. If there weren’t serious financial ramifications involved in spending our entire net worth showering our family and friends with presents for all of December, we would all do it in a heartbeat. But alas, we live in the real world where money doesn’t grow on trees, so a little bit of discretion when it comes to holiday shopping is necessary. Luckily, some of our favorite e-retailers came stocked and ready with fantastic beauty gifts under $25 that anybody would love.

To make sifting through the plethora of affordable gift options out there a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of the best limited-edition holiday sets, travel-sized products, and palettes that we think are the cream of the cost-effective crop. You can snag some Best of Beauty-winning products from Laneige and Nyx Professional Makeup, sample some Boy Smells scents, or gift someone in your life a whole new hair-care regimen for less than the price of a late-night Uber home.

Skin-Care Gifts Under $25

Laneige Midnight Minis Lip Sleeping Mask Set

The Inkey List Winter Skin 101 Set

Cosrx All About Snail Kit

If you’re in need of a gift for someone who has emptied out more lip balm containers than you can count, the Laneige Midnight Minis Lip Sleeping Mask Set is the perfect present. This set comes with five miniature jars of the rich, vitamin C-packed lip hydrator, which has won Best of Beauty and Readers’ Choice Awards. You can also give one flavor — Berry, Gummy Bear, Mango, Vanilla, and Mint Choco — to different people and check five stocking stuffers off your holiday list at once.

Buffs and amateurs alike will appreciate a well-rounded skin care set like The Inkey List’s Winter Skin 101 Set. This kit comes with four of the brand’s bestsellers including the luxe Oat Cleansing Balm, which won a Best of Beauty Award in 2020.

Give dry and dull winter skin a boost with the moisture-retaining power of snail mucin. The Cosrx All About Snail Kit comes with a snail mucin-infused cleanser, essence, moisturizer, and eye cream that work together to replenish the skin and fight dehydration. The recipient of this gift might even think of you when they notice that they’re using their humidifier less this winter.

Tower 28 Dreamy Gleamy Holiday Lip Gloss Duo Set

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Pillow Talk Lipstick & Liner Set

Flower Beauty E.T. Eyeshadow Palette

9 Best Target Hair Dryers 2022 Under $150 That Don’t Sacrifice Performance and Speed

written by

[ad_1]

At under $30, the Andis Pro Dry Soft Grip Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer is a no-brainer addition to your hot tool collection. This hair dryer comes with two attachments, a small-sized comb and a diffuser, and three heat settings that make styling easier. The heat settings in particular have a 30-second heat-up option and a range of heat settings at a maximum of 450 degrees Fahrenheit, max.

Pro tip: if you have thinner hair, opt for lower heat to avoid excess heat to your scalp. When you’re done with drying and styling, there is a convenient hanging loop for easy storage or a quick break in between sections.

Kristin Ess Ionic Professional Blow Dryer

InfinitiPro by Conair SmoothWrap Dryer

Clocking in at 1875 watts, this fast-drying Kristin Ess Ionic Professional Blow Dryer will have you showered, styled, and dressed in half your usual time. This powerful tool will get the job done quickly and efficiently while keeping the hair hydrated for that shiny “I just went to the salon” glow.

You’ll notice that the hair dryer has an “ionic” button. When you turn it on, it creates smooth, sleek styles that are ideal for thick and curly hair. When you turn it off, it opens your hair cuticles to give your tresses body and bounce. Finish your styling with a smoothing nozzle and you are guaranteed to be nominated to do all of your friends’ hair before night outs.

Are you in love with the baby-blue color of the InfinitiPro by Conair SmoothWrap Dryer as much as we are? Besides the aesthetic, this hair dryer will be a favorite amongst science lovers who are interested in the inherent technology that promotes fast drying, without over-drying the hair.

Essentially, the hair dryer will bring equilibrium to your hair (thanks to the positive and negative ions in the hair technology) and will leave hair left looking full-bodied. Just in case you’re concerned about whether or not the styling will last, do not fret, because the cool-shot trigger sends a blast of cool air to lock everything in place.

Drybar Baby Buttercup Blow-Dryer

Remington Shine Therapy Hair Dryer

If you’ve heard about Drybar, the blowdry-centric salon, you know that the “rescue crew” (a.k.a. the brand’s hairstylists) will restore and strengthen your tresses in record time. For the busy bee who can’t make it in person, the Drybar Baby Buttercup Blow-Dryer is the best next thing. The super-light tool is the ultimate travel-friendly dryer so that you can have your perfect blowout no matter where in the world you’re located — it even operates at different voltages when traveling overseas, but don’t forget to pack your converter.
