No flyaways were found. There’s no denying that many things have felt out of our hands in 2020, but at least the best edge-control products can keep your baby hairs sleek and snatched. With more time spent at home than ever before, you may have found yourself in the mirror crafting creative looks for a scroll-stopping selfie, or maybe you’ve used this time to take extra-good care of those delicate baby hairs that are easy to neglect. Whatever your beauty vibe or hair journey, the best edge-contr…

She actually wants this stuff, trust.

No gift receipt needed.

Beautifully basic. So you’re officially scrambling for last-minute gifts? Look no further than this list of the best winter candles of the year, from prestige brands to small wax masters you’ve probably never heard of. There’s a scent for every candle person on your list, from the sweets-loving little sister to the mother-in-law with a self-proclaimed sixth sense for elevated fragrances. Between limited-edition Diptyque, a new Boy Smells collab, and a gorgeous candle inspired by Billie Holiday,…

Gigi Hadid is no rookie in the realm of street style, but lately the new mom has been giving us everything and more with her selection of winter coats. Nicole Kidman’s outerwear collection from The Undoing is absolutely shaking at the sight of the supermodel’s cold-weather wardrobe (puffer-cardigan hybrids, perfect longline coats, and seasonal accessories that put Hadid’s incognito drip on full display). The 25-year-old has kept a relatively low profile this year (as one does in a global pandemi…

We don’t know her anymore.

So long, maskne.

As consumers become increasingly mindful of what’s in their makeup bags, new clean brands pop up on the regular—and we knew a Merit Beauty review was in order as soon as we laid eyes on the sleek packaging and dreamy campaign imagery. The “clean, luxury beauty brand” makes products that are undeniably photogenic, so we had to put the formulas to the test to see if they measure up to the aesthetics. Our makeup routines have been pared down significantly over the past year, so we were intrigued by…

If you’re reading this Knix period underwear review, you probably know there’s nothing quite like being fast asleep, fully engulfed in sweet slumber, only to be awakened by the floodgates of a heavy period. When I went off birth control during a perpetually single stage in my mid-20s, I became all too familiar with springing awake at 6 a.m. and being met with something akin to an ’80s slasher film once I reached the bathroom. Nature works in mysterious ways, and like clockwork (at the crack of d…

Here are the ones worth shopping now.

With summer right around the corner, it’s no surprise we jumped at the opportunity to do an Everlane Swim review. The San Francisco–based brand, known for its elevated but reasonably priced basics, made its foray into the swim category this spring. Glamour readers have proven they’re big fans of the brand—we tend to agree (and so does Meghan Markle)—so we obviously had to try the collection out for ourselves. According to Everlane’s site, the brand tested the swimsuits on 112 different women to…

Bye, blisters. You won’t be missed. Cities and businesses are reopening across the country—which means you’ll actually have places to go this summer, and you’ll need the right footwear to take you there. Cute summer sandals are a perennial warm-weather favorite, whether you plan on vamping it up in a sundress or are sticking to low-key bike shorts and button-downs. With your calendar sure to fill up with long-lost seasonal activities, on-point footwear is a must—and there are styles on styles t…

From cottagecore to office-ready. Whether you’re flying to a tropical locale or tending to your plants on the patio, the days ahead call for cute summer dresses. The one-and-done staple makes warm-weather style a breeze, because with a really great dress, outfit coordination is a nonissue (save for some practical footwear and statement jewelry). While we’re obviously ecstatic to reunite with our favorite people and places after what feels like an eternity, imagining our reemergence outfits is sp…

It’s worth every single penny.

Update—May 27, 2021: Kate Middleton’s summer-ready sneakers have been discounted even further—this time at Amazon. You can snag a pair of the duchess’s favorite shoes for up to 40% off, depending on your size. Run, don’t walk! Original post: Though we’re used to Kate Middleton blessing us with graceful ball gowns and sparkling tiaras, the Duchess of Cambridge knows no casual outfit is complete without a few key essentials: a comfy top, a pair of jeans that make you look (and feel) like a million…

Dyson and Roomba included (!!)

After a life-changing year-plus (of which no one needs a recap), we could all benefit from a fresh coat of paint and a healthy dose of change. The modern-day Roaring Twenties are upon us, and as we emerge from various levels of isolation and into society where people are vaxxed, waxed, and ready to dust off those good ol’ social skills that were shelved amid a global pandemic, a fresh cut can provide a surge of newfound confidence to commence a new chapter that couldn’t come fast enough. Like ma…

Warning: Images on site are larger than they appear. Leave your baggage at the door, because the tiny-bags trend is still going strong in 2021. Ever since French luxury brand Jacquemus sent the meme-worthy Le Chiquito Mini Leather Tote down the runway for its spring-summer 2018 show, handbags have gotten smaller and smaller—and celebrities and the internet can’t get enough. Insta-famous brands like Telfar and JW Pei have followed suit, designing too-cute takes on the accessory trend—and Lizzo to…

Your beauty bag is waiting.

Who wants lipstick on the beach, anyway?
