I love treating myself to a spa day at least once a week. For me, spa nights consist of a face mask, facial steamer, jade roller, and a cozy robe. I especially look forward to pulling out a cold, slimy, sheet mask from the fridge, instantly soothing and depuffing my complexion. It’s a self-care sensation…

When my alarm dings at 8 a.m. these days, there’s a good chance I’m already up — and have been for the last seven or so hours. Like everyone else across the globe experiencing the effects of a pandemic, I’m not sleeping. And it shows.  Ever since March, I’ve noticed my undereyes looking a little more,…

As for who’s responsible for the reality star’s new nail look, that would be…

Back in June, Cardi B shared the recipe for one of her favorite DIY hair masks, which included ingredients like argan oil, mayonnaise, and banana. Now, lo and behold, the rapper is back with yet another at-home hair treatment for us to try — and you only need five kitchen staples in order to make…

While comedy is a great coping mechanism, we all need more than one in our self-care toolkit, and thankfully, Majimbo has many others. “Sometimes, I feel hungry, and me picking up my phone and just dialing KFC — for me that’s self-care. Or when I’m just in the house and I hear my dog barking,…

Here at Allure, we’re huge suckers for a celebrity throwback moment — and this week, Jessica Alba came through with a photo from her formative years that’s nothing short of precious. The Honest Beauty founder shared the photo on Friday evening ahead of the election results with the caption, “Waiting for that count to come…

As far as gift-giving goes, we know from first-hand experience that there are few ways to make someone feel more special than with a personalized gift. We’ve seen the way these extra-meaningful presents make people light up, and well, there’s nothing quite like it (cheesy, maybe, but true). Not only do these types of gifts…
