Our Beauty-Ed Group Chat Gets Heated When We Talk About These Expensive Buys
Before you take advice or recommendations regarding luxury beauty products, I implore you to keep this in mind: people like to justify their own lavish purchases. Most of the time, it has nothing to do with you or indeed the product they’re recommending, but instead with the fact that they’ve spent a lot of money on it. It’s human nature. Nobody wants to spend a huge amount of money on a makeup product, for example, and later have to admit … Read more

Beauty Snobs Think These 6 Products Are Rubbish—I Disagree
As a beauty editor, I have spent many years trying to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to products. Few things upset me more than people wasting their hard-earned cash on products that come loaded with false promises—it’s true that beauty brands like to lead us down the garden path. As a result of the masses of false information out there, I totally understand that, as beauty consumers, most people want an uncomplicated list of dos and … Read more
U.S. Beauty Editors Rave About These Products, So I’m Giving Them a Go
As a beauty editor who spends every waking minute reading about beauty products, I have always felt pretty confident in my breadth of knowledge. It is very rare that a beauty product comes my way and I know nothing about it. In fact, I’d say I’ve always been a little cocky about it. But a few months ago, something started happening that made my doubt myself. For you to understand this doubt, you’ll have to bear with me while I … Read more
48 Beauty Products Editors Love Enough to Spend Their Own Money On
Full disclosure: As editors, we get to try products for free sometimes. (And if you’re a beauty editor, that turns out to be all the time.) It’s certainly a perk, but it would also be quite hard to write beauty stories without actually trying the items being discussed. Even though we try new products often and may not necessarily need another sunscreen, for example, sometimes, we get so hooked on something that we feel inclined to go out and buy … Read more
24 Bang-for-Your-Buck Beauty Items to Try in 2022, According to Editors
I’m a firm believer that more is not more when it comes to beauty. A bigger price tag doesn’t necessarily connotate better results, nor does a bigger product array. (Take it from someone whose skin did a complete 180—in a much healthier direction—the second I slashed my a.m. and p.m. routines in half.)
Don’t get me wrong. I’m more than down to invest in an absurdly expensive perfume, but I have to love it so much that the hefty price … Read more
I've Tried Basically Every Glossier Product—This Is What I Really Think
If there’s one beauty brand that gets the millennial heart beating like no other, it has to be Glossier. Uniting product obsessives, fashion girls, and beauty editors alike with its charm, Glossier was an instant hit with the Instagram generation when it launched back in 2014. (Remember back when the beauty hashtag was a landscape of HD brows and contour?) Today, the beauty start-up is valued at over $1 billion, and I can guarantee that you’ll spot at least one … Read more
We Just Reviewed the UK’s 25 Best-Selling Beauty Products, And We Have Thoughts
We’re not sure about you, but in recent years, it feels as though shopping for beauty products has become more difficult than ever before. Not because of the fact we don’t find ourselves shopping IRL much, and not because of the rather daunting amount to choose from (although these things don’t help), but rather because what we want from our beauty products has changed exponentially. After spending many years of our lives buying every beauty product that came our way, … Read more
