At least, that’s how the team behind Fempower Beauty wants you to think about it. The brand, which launched earlier this month,  was founded on the principle that women should feel empowered every time they swipe on their lipstick….

February 14, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC If you’ve come across vitamin E oil in your skin-care products, it’s probably been used as a sidekick, meant to amplify or balance out other spotlight-stealing ingredients, such as vitamin A (AKA retinol) and vitamin C. The underdog skin-care staple, however has a laundry list of benefits for your… Continue Reading →

February 13, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC I’ve been single for exactly one year, four months, and 26 days (who’s counting?). My last breakup was a traumatic one for a myriad of complicated reasons, which left me swearing off relationships for good (okay fine—at least for now). So instead, I’ve decided to replace the men in… Continue Reading →

February 11, 2019 at 11:54AM by CWC Last year, I came back from a trip to Japan with an embarrassing number of duty-free beauty products stashed into my carry on, and I realized that the majority of them had one thing in common: They were made with rice water. All it took was a few… Continue Reading →

February 05, 2019 at 10:10AM by CWC If your essential beauty products had job titles, retinol would be the cell-turnover specialist, hyaluronic acid the SVP of hydration, and vitamin C the brightening executive. It might well feel natural to value skin-care staples in terms of the results they give your complexion, but at Well+Good’s most… Continue Reading →

February 05, 2019 at 07:28AM by CWC One of my 2019 goals is to revamp my skin-care lineup, because, if I’m being honest, it’s a little bare-boned at the moment. But when I scroll through endorsements of new miracle products every time I open Instagram, it’s pretty much impossible to know which ones I can… Continue Reading →

February 02, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC I’ve never been to India, but when I see it in movies, the landscapes appear to be vividly beautiful: varying landscapes, from desert to country to over-populated city, bursting at the seams with ancient history and culture. And, unsurprisingly, its inhabitants have been ahead of the curve when… Continue Reading →

January 29, 2019 at 12:21PM by CWC There simply aren’t enough hours in the day, according to my favorite wellness pro Captain Obvious. Between responding to emails, going to yoga, meal prepping, catching up on all the Fyre Fest documentaries out there, and general adulting (OMG I’m exhausted just from typing that), making time to take… Continue Reading →

January 28, 2019 at 10:53AM by CWC You can oat-milk matcha-latte your way out of a lot of the symptoms of a crappy night’s sleep, but there’s one thing that no amount of caffeine is going to fix after you’ve spent multiple hours tossing and turning: the dark circles that stake out under your eyes….

January 19, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC The whole point of beauty products is, literally, to make us feel good—It’s things like sheet masks and facial oils and fancy serums exist in the first place. But every once in a while, our beauty products backfires. And instead of being left with shiny hair or smooth… Continue Reading →

January 15, 2019 at 03:39AM by CWC Considering 2019 kicked off with a photo of Beyoncé strolling through Target, I’m calling it early: This year, the drugstore gets its due. More specifically, the drugstore beauty aisle gets its due. As a beauty editor, hundreds of products come across my desk every week—ranging from $2 hair serums to… Continue Reading →

January 09, 2019 at 11:35AM by CWC As an introvert whose anxiety switch is always flipped on, I’m forever on the lookout for easy ways to unwind. In the morning, I rely on 10-minute meditations followed by quiet time with coffee (sans phone) before my day starts. At night, I take a soothing bath to… Continue Reading →

January 08, 2019 at 12:49PM At first glance, there’s nothing wrong with your #shelfie. Your deodorant is all-natural and so is your favorite lipstick, lotion, serum, and oil. But look again: How many of those beauty and personal hygiene products are packaged in plastic? Those containers might not seem like a big deal—they’re recyclable after all—but even… Continue Reading →
