Moving beyond traditional florals and fresh, clean scents, the next big fragrance trend is all about smoky, warm and complex compositions. Think rich incense, tobacco, woods and musk softened by radiant florals and unexpected spices. Leading the way is MERIT Beauty's New Wave L'Extrait de Parfum, Created in collaboration with master perfumer Dominique Ropion and perfumer Meabh McCurtin, New Wave is designed to capture a feeling of power, sensuality and optimism. Notes of tob

When it comes to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the beauty prep is just as captivating as the runway itself. This year, models Elsa Hosk, Quenlin Blackwell, and Paloma Elsesser turned to PRX by WiQo for a skin treatment designed to deliver a radiant, glass-skin glow ahead of fashion’s most anticipated event. The models received PRX by WiQo’s Bio Revitalization treatment at Le Jolie Medi Spa in West Hollywood, making it part of their pre-runway beauty routine. Unlike trad

It's the season, and Vanilla Spice is having a beauty moment. The luxury, science-driven skincare brand Marini SkinSolutions launched its Limited Edition Exfoliator in Vanilla Spice, bringing a warm, seasonal twist to one of the most important steps in any skincare routine: exfoliation. Quickly revealing smoother, brighter-looking skin, with three forms of exfoliation in one treatment. Glycolic Acid provides chemical exfoliation, Synthetic Wax Beads offer physical exfoliatio

I've been testing Lenox and Sixteenth's Prep Pads for a week or so, and I'll be honest, I didn't expect a pad to change my mind about anything. But here we are. Most treatment pads are designed to take something off your skin. These do the opposite. They're designed to prepare it. The Prep Pads are a two-sided, barrier-first skin conditioning tool from founder and celebrity aesthetician Amy Peterson. Her brand philosophy is "less, but better," born in the treatment room, mad

Your lip care routine just got a skincare upgrade. COSRX is taking its peptide expertise beyond the face with its new 5 Peptide Lip Collection made to bring skincare-inspired care to your everyday lip routine. The standout? The 5 Peptide Collagen Lip Fill Tinted Treatment, available in seven shades ranging from sheer strawberry pink and peachy coral to cinnamon, cocoa, and deep black cherry.

Body care is having its skincare moment, and VOESH is taking the idea one step further. The K-beauty-inspired body care brand known for bringing spa-inspired rituals into the everyday is expanding its lineup with two new launches designed to make body care feel less like a routine and more like a ritual: the Restore Body Oil and Body Gua Sha Tool. The Restore Body Oil, a lightweight formula created to nourish, hydrate and visibly firm the skin without the heavy, greasy feelin

Your skin is always evolving. Your foundation should, too. Trinny London is challenging women to rethink their complexion routine with FEARLESS Skin Tint Drops, created specifically for women 40+. The idea is simple: many women are still using the foundation they discovered in their twenties even though their skin has changed. FEARLESS is designed to work with mature skin, for lightweight, skin-like coverage without settling into lines or clinging to dry patches. The formula

There’s something inherently glamorous about taking the long way home. OUAI’s new Laurel Canyon Eau de Parfum bottles capture that exact feeling the windows down, music playing, and the winding road ahead with nowhere else to be. Inspired by the effortless allure of Los Angeles’ iconic Laurel Canyon, the fragrance opens with fig leaf, green mandarin, and almond milk, creating a fresh, softly creamy first impression. At the heart, jasmine, violet petals, and orris root add a d

Your lip color just got a little smarter. There’s something about a lip stain that sounds perfect in theory: effortless color, no constant reapplying, and that “I just naturally have gorgeous lips” effect. But in reality? So many stains leave lips dry, patchy, or bleeding beyond the lip line. Then there is Thrive Causemetics’ new Lasting Mark™ Lip-Defining Stain designed to combine the precision of a lip liner, the color of a stain, and skincare. Think of it as a marker for y

If your skin has suddenly become really high-maintenance- dry one day, red the next, tight, flaky, or breaking out for no obvious reason you may not actually have “sensitive skin.” Your skin barrier might simply be stressed. That’s the beauty conversation we’re having right now in the office, barrier care. Instead of constantly adding another serum, exfoliant, or treatment, the goal is to get back to basics and help your skin feel healthy, hydrated, and comfortable again. I r

The secret to better-looking hair is hiding underneath it. We spend plenty of time on hair masks, oils, and styling products, but healthy-looking hair starts with the scalp. When the scalp feels dry, irritated, or weighed down by buildup, hair can look and feel less than its best. That’s why scalp-first haircare is having a moment. Privé Scalp Reboot Serum is a lightweight leave-in scalp treatment enriched with caffeine, baobab, and açai, created to nourish and soothe the sca

We reset our wardrobes, switch up our skincare and trade summer beauty products for richer fall formulas but what about our hair? These past few gorgeous months of Summer we had sun exposure, humidity, heat styling, sweat, tight ponytails and layers of product on our scalp which means our strands may be ready for a reset, too. As the seasons change, it’s not unusual to notice a little more hair in your brush or shower drain too. According to board-certified dermatologist and

Bravo Sierra is putting a modern spin on Vanilla Hide Eau de Parfum. The brand’s first fine fragrance, created with fragrance house Givaudan, captures the warmth and familiarity of vanilla without using the ingredient itself. Instead, black tea takes center stage, layered with amber, vetiver, patchouli, and sueded rose. The result is a warm, sophisticated woody gourmand that feels less sugary and more refined than traditional vanilla scents. Think of it as vanilla’s moodier,

K-beauty is having another major moment and this time, it’s getting a very chic U.S. retail upgrade. Beginning August 20, Sephora is bringing an exclusive edit of 19 Korean beauty brands curated by OLIVE YOUNG, South Korea’s leading beauty and lifestyle retailer, to more than 500 Sephora stores nationwide and Sephora.com.

What does a beauty insider actually keep in her makeup? We chatted with New York-based makeup artist, groomer, and educator Carly Giglio about artistry, effortless beauty, and the products she truly loves. Carly has built an impressive career working across beauty campaigns, photoshoots, education, and product development. Her approach to makeup is all about enhancing what’s already there creating polished, modern looks that still feel like you. During the conversation, Carly

There's a reason hydrogel masks have become the beauty editors' answer to overnight-looking results, not many skincare rituals give the same instant gratification. The latest to earn a spot on our bedside table is the Night Shift Repairing Hydrogel Face Mask, a treatment created to revive skin that's feeling the effects of long days, late nights, and modern-day stress. It's perfect and quick, 10 minutes before bed, the cooling hydrogel mask invigorates the complexion with a c

Model: Sasha Corte-T For the past few seasons, skin tints were the moment, the answer to barely-there, no-makeup-looking skin. Now, there has been a shift. Everyone is looking for makeup that not only looks naturally luminous but also enhances the skin on long workdays, travel, and parties. Enter RCMA Makeup, the brand that has quietly earned its reputation behind the scenes of film, television, and editorial shoots for more than six decades. Its newest launch, the Red Carpet

If you've been hesitant to try self-tanner, you're not alone. I've always been pretty hesitant with it myself. Will it be spotty, wear off weird, or just look completely unnatural?! But if you're looking for an effortless, sun-kissed glow without the overcommitment, Water Veil by celebrity spray tanning expert Erika Vasco may be the beauty shortcut It's specifically made for the face, It's a lightweight tanning water, super natural-looking, with a gradual glow in just a few

We all definitely have a bag with at least three lip products rolling around at the bottom of it. It's National Lipstick Day a perfect time to dig through and find a favorite to wear today. But it's not just about those fabulous colors, and all about having good lips first. We're layering overnight lip masks before bed, keeping a balm on our desk, another in the car, and somehow still asking our friends, "Do you have lip balm?" Beauty girls just get it. So it feels pretty fi

We have noticed everyone trading full-coverage makeup for fresh, glowing skin lately. Skin-first beauty is officially having its moment, and EpicLight Beauty is one of those brands we can't stop talking about. Founded by Patricia Gallardo and Saima Rathor, EpicLight combines makeup with skincare, so every product has ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid that help your skin look as good as your makeup. Our fav pic is the Luminizing Glow Gel. It gives that effortless

There's something about discovering skincare that actually makes your daily routine feel a little more luxurious. Sulwhasoo just introduced two new launches that do exactly that, and if you're all about healthy, glowing skin (without adding a million extra steps), you'll want these on your radar. Dark circles, puffiness, and tired-looking eyes seem to show up no matter how much sleep we get. We are so excited about the new First Care Activating Eye Serum with Sulwhasoo's sign

We never skip post-sun skincare, so why overlook our hair? Saltwater, chlorine, UV rays, and heat can leave strands dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage. Adding a simple post-beach recovery routine can help restore moisture and keep hair healthy all summer long. Harklinikken's 4-Step Hair Recovery Routine: Balancing Shampoo: Gently removes salt, chlorine, and buildup while maintaining the scalp's natural pH. Daily Conditioner: Replenishes hydration with aloe vera and avocado oi

Lately, some of the must-have pieces showing up in fashion aren't designer handbags or statement earrings. They're accessories designed to help you stress less, sleep better, recover faster, and feel a little more balanced throughout the day. One of the coolest pieces I've come across is the Komuso Design Classic Shift. It looks like a simple necklace, but it's actually a breathing tool that helps slow your exhale and calm your nervous system. Perfect for those moments when y

We are at the start of unofficial Summer and feeling pretty pasty, but we found a quick glow solution. Just in time for summer, MSK Labs is redefining self-tan with skincare-first formulas designed to deliver a natural, hydrated glow.

There’s a reason “glassy skin” keeps showing up everywhere; it’s not just about what you layer on top anymore, it’s about how you start. Enter MARA Beauty and their simple-but-elevated ritual: Oil, Gel, Glaze. It’s a three-step cleanse designed to clear the skin properly while still protecting the barrier and leaving that soft, luminous finish that looks almost lit from within. It starts with the Oil step, where the Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil melts away makeup, SPF, and build

You know when your day just… doesn’t sit still? Running around, back-to-back plans, maybe a workout squeezed in, and somehow your makeup is expected to keep up with all of it. Well, we are happy we found FORTA Cosmetics . Not a brand created in a lab somewhere but from two girls, Sarah Guller, who was stepping out of meetings to reapply, and Lexie Hull playing full-out without products that could actually last. Same frustration, different worlds. So they made something that

It feels like everyone’s talking about hair growth lately, but this one actually makes sense. Live Conscious just launched Clinical Hair Growth+, and it’s more about what you’re doing from the inside vs adding another product to your shelf. It has this really potent ingredient, Serevelle, plus biotin and collagen, basically all the good stuff for less shedding and fuller hair over time. Nothing complicated, just a few capsules a day. I like that it’s not trying to be a quick

There’s a certain kind of beauty that doesn’t try too hard; it just works . It feels intuitive, personal, and quietly confidence-boosting. That’s exactly where Serotonin Beauty comes in. Created by makeup artist and industry veteran Iulia Scvortova , the brand is rooted in a simple but refreshing idea: makeup should enhance how you feel, not define how you look. Inspired by serotonin, the body’s natural “feel-good” chemical. The collection is intentionally edited, clean, veg

With the launch of Reale Actives , she’s stepping into skincare with a focus that feels both personal and purposeful: acne-prone, sensitive skin.

At I ntegrated Health Center with Dr. Amanda Occhipinti, this ancient wellness practice blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern skincare goals to deliver a natural, holistic approach to beauty and well-being.

Winter nails are in their quiet luxury era right now — clean, glossy, and effortlessly chic. It’s less about complicated designs and more about shades and finishes that look polished the second you wrap your hands around a coffee cup. Cloud Dancer white is having a major moment — not a harsh bright white, but that soft, creamy “expensive manicure” white that goes with literally everything. If you want something even more elevated, micro sheen is the finish to ask for: not gl

If quiet luxury had a hair routine, it would start at the scalp and finish with a subtle, skin-close scent that lingers just enough. Founded by Grand Slam champion Sloane Stephens , Doc & Glo takes a performance-first, dermatologist-tested approach to haircare.
