We Can’t Wait ’Til December to Dig Into These New Beauty Advent Calendars From Sephora
If there ever was a year for people to deserve a little treat every single day, it's 2020. While you could ration out goodies from a set of minis whenever you please, Advent calendars were made for this very purpose, with a little surprise safely hidden behind each window.
Advent-calendar season is always exciting, but the new choices at Sephora just may tempt you to pick up a couple for yourself, and to share the love with friends you may not see in person this year.
Not in the holiday spirit just yet? We wouldn't blame anyone who wants to use these to count down the days to a random Wednesday in November instead.
How to Deal With a Tattoo Infection (and How to Prevent It From Happening Again)
There's a lot that people should know about tattoos before taking the plunge and actually getting them, two of them being the design and location, but another aspect that not too many people take into account beforehand is what to do in the case of a skin infection. Should you immediately see a doctor? What are the signs it's infected compared to normal steps in the healing process? And what are the odds of your tattoo getting infected anyway?
While you should expect to feel some amount of discomfort after getting a tattoo, tattoo infections aren't all that common, though that all depends on how you take care of them as soon as you leave the tattoo parlor.
"Tattoos generally get infected due to improper aftercare," LA-based tattoo artist Johnny Dagger told POPSUGAR. "The client should be very careful about how they clean and maintain the tattoo." Going to a tattoo shop without the proper licensing or sanitation measures in place also puts you at risk of your body art later getting infected, so Dagger recommends doing your research and making sure you're in contact with a trustworthy artist at a reputable tattoo parlor before booking your appointment.
In the event that your tattoo still gets infected even after doing your research, the issue likely lies somewhere in your aftercare practices. Read ahead for some tips on what you should do when your tattoo gets infected.

Meet Cuerpa: The Latinx-Owned Beauty Brand That'll Make You Reconsider Face Oil
As a person with an oily T-zone, I've always thought it was silly to use facial oils on my skin type - why put the same product on your face that you'd otherwise deem a problem? That's until I tried a few that managed to keep my skin hydrated sans the uncomfortable, greasy feeling I'd previously anticipated. One of them is an anti-aging oil I received from Cuerpa, a Latinx-owned clean beauty brand that deserves to be on everyone's radar.
Stemming from the Spanish word "cuerpo," which means "body," Cuerpa was founded by Edwin Jimenez Casanova. The brand is mostly known for its face oils, although there are a handful of other body and lip products in its lineup. One of the first things I noticed when I came across the brand is that its aesthetic is pretty similar to that of Herbivore Botanicals with its minimalist packaging and colorful products, but the products themselves are quite different.
Among Cuerpa's collection is a trio of face oils: the Soleil Du Désert Anti-Aging Facial Oil, the Terre Bleue Balancing Facial Oil, and the Déesse de La Forêt Revitalizing Facial Oil. The anti-aging oil in particular is meant to make the skin look more youthful and glowy while also keeping it nice and hydrated, and from my experience, it definitely got the job done.
If you're often drawn to clean-looking, colorful bottles that look pretty on your vanity table - but want to try something new while supporting a Latinx-owned beauty brand - consider trying Cuerpa. Shop the brand's face oils ahead.
The "Swoop" Hairstyle is the 2000s Trend Making a Major Comeback This Season
Rihanna. Selena Gomez. Zac Efron. All incomparable individuals who have, at one point, shared a singular thing in common: "swoop" bangs. (OK so they can each also sing, act, and probably have impeccable skin-care routines, but this story isn't about them.) Anyway, you couldn't walk to the nearest Starbucks in a Juicy Couture tracksuit without seeing the hairstyle everywhere in the early 2000s - and, if you believe the pros, it will be making a comeback this fall.
"After months without a bang trim, I can see short bangs becoming a 'swoop bang,' bringing the side part back to center stage and replacing the center part," said Cesar DeLeon Ramirez, celebrity hairstylist and Unite brand ambassador. Like an exaggerated side bang, the swoop also works on any hair length and "looks great with short to long layers."
To style, Ramirez recommends applying a blow-dry cream - one that smooths frizz and flyaways - to damp hair, then use a round brush to blow out the long bangs into the soft style. (Or skip the blow-drier completely and sweep to the side of your ponytail.) It's versatile, easy, early aughts-approved, and it's not going anywhere soon. Proof below that this is a hairstyle trend with staying power.

A Guide to the Exact Drunk Elephant Products You Should Be Using For Your Skin Type
Drunk Elephant has been a cult favorite skin-care brand for several years now thanks to its lineup of high-quality products, minimalistic packaging, and (unpaid) endorsements from stars like Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens. The company has a massive cult following with several bestselling products, so if you're someone who has yet to be initiated, you might be curious if they live up to the hype. While we can confidently attest that a number of Drunk Elephant's top-rated products are worth the buy, that still doesn't mean each formula will work the same way for every skin type.
To help you gain a better understanding of which skin-care products you should buy from Drunk Elephant, we've put together a list of its bestsellers and broken down which ones work best for people with oily skin, dryness, and more. (FYI: Some of the ones below can also be used for multiple skin concerns.) Keep reading to see which ones you should consider for your exact skin type.
19 Real-Life Tattoo Tales That Will Make You Laugh - and Possibly Cry
Not unlike a signature scent or the qualities you tick off on the "Looking For" section of a dating profile, tattoos are often deeply personal and largely dependent on personal preference. In fact, the design you choose, at which magnitude, and whether you want it etched along your spine, down the sole of your foot, or somewhere in between can be motivated by many a thing - including, but not limited to, a damn good story.
From book references to favorite foods to some really touching tales that represent a tear-jerking experience, we asked POPSUGAR editors to share their personal favorite tattoo from their own collections (plus the stories behind them) in case it helps inspire your next piece of ink. Some are hilarious, others are touching, but all of them are bound to make you smile. (Besides, show us someone who doesn't love a good origin story and we'll show you a liar. We said what we said!)

If Your Curly Hair Could Use a Boost, Ask Your Stylist For the "Twist and Cut" Haircut
"Bulk" is only good when you have a Costco membership (and enough room in your apartment to store everything), but when it comes to your hair, that term often translates to "heavy" or "weighed down" - especially if you have curls. Luckily, one small tweak at your next salon appointment can make all the difference difference in how light your hair feels. All you have to ask for is the "twist and cut."
Much like "invisible layers," this technique is meant to remove weight and add movement into a haircut. For people with wavy or curly hair, specifically, it can serve as an easy way to prevent fizz or cut split ends without removing any length. "The 'twist and cut' is where medium to long hair is lightly twisted and held in low elevation while we cut small incisions into hair with shears to prevent fizz and remove bulk," Omar Antonio, hairstylist and global top artist for Sebastian Professional, told POPSUGAR.
While the styling secret isn't new - hairstylist Tamara Laureus says she's been using it on clients for 15 years, in fact - the technique is a game-changer across all hair types and textures. "We do this to open one's curls," she said. "If I have curly haired client with very tight curls, I will use this technique to create more fullness and shape. I also use [it] for men's haircuts and straight hair. It helps creates movement."
Curious? Join the club - and then get a closer look at the haircut technique and its results, ahead. No fancy membership card required.

This "Invisible Layers" Haircut Technique Is the Style Secret You've Been Waiting For
Speakeasy bars, off-the-menu food items, a really good haircut - some of the best things in life are nearly imperceptible to the eye. Unlike the first two, however, you needn't knock three times or have an in with the owner to unlock the best-kept secret of the hair-care world. Just ask your stylist for one thing: "invisible layers."
This dry haircutting technique can be done across all hair types and textures, but the intention remains the same: "The term 'invisible layers' refers to removing weight and adding movement into a haircut while creating a finished look with minimal or no layers at all," Omar Antonio, hairstylist and global top artist for Sebastian Professional, told POPSUGAR. That means subtly cutting layers within layers of longer hair for an infinitely more discreet - and therefore, natural-looking - effect.
The result? A low-key style that almost looks like you did nothing at all, only with built-in texture that's 10 times easier to maintain (because, hi, dreams do come true). While Antonio said invisible layers come by way of a myriad of techniques and tools, there's some lingo to learn before your next salon appointment to ensure you get the look you want.
From "pen cutting" to "back cutting," we're breaking down a few buzzwords to bring to your hairstylist, because trust: a haircut this good should not be kept behind closed doors.

I'm Obsessed With Skin Care, and This Is My Morning Routine
Today, I consider my skin care routine to be a ritualistic moment of self-care, but that wasn't always the case. I didn't really have a skin care routine in high school, until a battle with acne left me no choice. I had to start slowly and work my way up. An esthetician once told me that with my skin, less is more. I have combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, so even the slightest thing will break me out. Because of this, I've had to be very discerning about my routine, and while there are still some things I'm trying out, I've basically got my morning skin care down to a science.
Through all that I've learned about skin care, perhaps the most important thing might be to listen to your skin. You know what's going on with your face better than anyone, and the more in tune you are with your skin, the more effective your skin care will be. Also, it's important to note that I'm not a doctor or esthetician, just someone who wants constantly glowy, clear skin. These are the 15 products I use to get there.

These Hocus Pocus Tattoos Are Tiny, but They'll Put a Spell on You
We used to think that watching Hocus Pocus on a weekly basis throughout the entire month of October was a strong enough display of our love for the movie, but that was before we found out that there are dozens of people out there who are (understandably) dedicating permanent body art to the Halloween classic. We'll admit it: Hocus Pocus tattoos - specifically of the tiny variety - are a very niche category, but they're also very popular, and considering the fact that the film will forever hold a place in our spooky, Halloween-loving hearts, it's easy to understand why.
The trend itself isn't new at all, and these tattoos aren't something that fans of the film have to wait around until Halloween to get, but they're definitely a fun way to keep yourself in the holiday spirit all year long. Keep scrolling ahead for a few of our favorite tiny Hocus Pocus tattoos that we saw on Instagram.

Miley Cyrus Is the Epitome of '80s Glam at the MTV VMAs
The mullet haircut has been staging a comeback this year, but tonight may be the first time that we've seen the throwback style hit a red carpet all year thanks to Miley Cyrus and her appearance at the 2020 Video Music Awards. The singer has been wearing the haircut for a few months now, but somehow when she showed up to the show's virtual red carpet on Sunday night, her hair looked even more mullet-y than before.
Cyrus's style for the event mimicked the '80s glam that seemed to inspire her latest music video for "Midnight Sky." She wore a strapless, mesh maxi dress with jewel accents and matching elbow-length gloves that she paired with bright red lipstick and black eye makeup. Read ahead to see more photos of Cyrus on the red carpet.
Joey King Is Serving Up Realness on the VMAs Red Carpet: "I Don't Really Look Like This"
Joey King gave us a peek at her 2020 MTV VMAs outfit ahead of Sunday night's show, but we still weren't fully prepared for just how good she looks. That dress! Those nails! That makeup!
The Kissing Booth star hit the red carpet dressed in a full Versace ensemble, complete with thick gold chains and gold hair clips. Her soft glam makeup look was done by celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño, while her extra-long hair was styled by Dimitri Giannetos.
When Travis Mills asked King what went into picking her outfit, she gave the most amazingly candid answer. "Uh, I'm wearing Versace. My first time wearing Versace. What's up? And what all went into it is I'm wearing a lot of Spanx, I've got some fake makeup on my legs so that they look shiny, and yeah, I have extensions in my hair. So you know, I don't really look like this." We love the realness.
See more shots of King's VMAs look, ahead.
