“Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy,” Kesha sings in the opening lines of her 2009 breakout single ‘TiK ToK.’ It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since we first heard the glittery party anthem that launched her career. Two number one albums and Grammy nominations later, Kesha is still very much

There are two types of doomsday preppers: Those who embrace practical austerity because the world is ending, and those who binge on useless beauty… because the world is ending. But for beauty maestro Peter Philips, it’s all the same. “Our job is to find the best product for every look,” says the Belgian-born makeup artist,

If the fashion world taught us anything in 2019, it’s that anything goes. The days of being a slave to seasonal trends are O-V-E-R and we’re finally free to dress as we please. Case in point: Harry Styles, the posterchild for the wear-what-you-want liberation. Over the past 12 months, the 25-year-old singer’s wardrobe choices have

After spending a majority of my life haphazardly applying body lotion (or oil) as I pleased, I discovered a strange, itchy, scaly patch of skin on the right side of my shin. “Must be an allergic reaction,” I said to myself as I brushed it off since I do test a gazillion things. But after

Holiday office parties mean different things to different folks. For some, it’s after-hours drinks and getting a wee bit tipsy with colleagues—and spilling the tea. For others, it’s something a little more formal, like a sit-down dinner where you can score some meaningful face time with the higher-ups. No matter what the set-up is, office

If there’s one thing my clumsy hands get right when it comes to makeup, it’s creating a a basic eye look with neutral tones and a hint of glitter.
