Rachel Bilson Reveals the 1 Lip Product You Need For a Kissable Pout


Image Source: Getty/Jonathan Leibson

You may know Rachel Bilson as Summer Roberts from The O.C. or Dr. Zoe Hart on Hart of Dixie, in either case she's always had a great sense of style - both in the fashion and beauty departments. When it comes to her skin and hair, Rachel gives off the fresh-faced California-girl vibe, a look we've always envied (and tried to copy with products like Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray). A quick glance at her Instagram account even reveals that she's a master of the #nomakeupselfies and prefers a natural, minimalist look, which is actually quite refreshing to see amid trends like heavy contouring and bubble nail art.

It's fitting then that ChapStick recently named the actress as its newest spokesperson for its Total Hydration lip product. In an interview, Rachel opened up to us about why she loves this no-fuss Winter beauty staple and explained how her skin care routine has changed since becoming a mom to daughter Briar Rose. Make no mistake, though - this mama is also equally knowledgable about beauty hacks and shared some easy makeup tips with us.

POPSUGAR: Which Total Hydration ChapStick is your favorite? Is there a flavor you would recommend people to try?

Rachel Bilson: I love the vanilla. I'm a vanilla kind of girl and it really keeps your lips hydrated and moisturized, especially for Valentine's Day.

PS: Speaking of Valentine's Day, do you have any date-night style advice for those celebrating?

RB: All of my things include a little person now. We're a little more cozy than glammed up you can say. I think for Valentine's Day, less is more. Some girls might like to break out lingerie. That would be nice for the men, but as far as getting ready for a date, low-key is my go-to.

PS: What's your beauty routine like and has that changed drastically since having your daughter?

RB: I've always been low-key and it's gotten even lower since having a child. I am definitely the ChapStick and mascara kind of girl. When I pull both of those together, it's quite an achievement.

PS: Do you have any makeup or skin care staples you can't live without?

RB: The ChapStick Total Hydration is a staple for me and also the Chanel mascara. They used to make it in this blue color - it didn't really look blue, only in a certain light - but they discontinued it, which is a bummer. Now I am using the Chanel mascara in black and what's little left of the blue.

PS: The ingredients in the Total Hydration line are 100 percent natural. Is that something you look for in your products?

RB: Yes, especially since becoming a mom, you're just way more aware of what you put on your body and what you're exposing your baby to. I love that the product is 100 percent natural.

PS: Throwing it back to the O.C. days, did you learn any fun beauty hacks from the girls or makeup artists?

RB: It's funny, my makeup artist [Joni Powell] on Hart of Dixie was the head of makeup on The O.C. It's like a big family of us that have been together forever. For me, what I've learned is that when you load ChapStick on and then brush your lips with a toothbrush it acts like an exfoliator, which is great. I had to do that a lot because I used to apply lipstick on all the time. And, if you have individual lashes on or false ones, after a while you can curl them as a little pick-me-up since you can't really put mascara on them.

PS: Are you the skin care or makeup type of girl?

RB: I would lean more towards skin care. I am low-maintenance in both areas, so I don't go much further than washing my face and putting on some cream after. Then ChapStick, mascara, and a little blush.

PS: When it comes to your hair, what types of products do you use? As a California native, you have great beach waves.

RB: I am a wash-and-go girl because I don't do my own hair often. It's pretty natural when I am in charge of it. I love the Living Proof line, especially the shampoo and condition antifrizz one.

PS: Describe your beauty look in one word.

RB: Definitely simple comes to mind. And minimalist.

This Woman's Skin Turned Flamingo Pink After Taking a Shower


Image Source: Lush

Oftentimes we use a body or tanning product and anxiously await results that may never happen. However, Abi Shenton from the UK experienced the total opposite after taking a bath with a Lush bath oil.

She recently tweeted a selfie at the brand showing off her skin after using the Razzle Dazzle oil in the shower. But there was just one problem: her skin was dyed bright pink - literally. The fuchsia bath oil was actually mistaken for body soap by Abi. See, it comes packaged in a round ball shape that is meant to be diluted and added to your bath. But the product can easily be mistaken for a body bomb or soap bar if you don't carefully read the usage instructions. After rigorously rubbing the oil into her face and body, the magenta dye ended up leaving her skin flamingo pink.

The good news is that the stain was removed after many baths and a trusty at-home DIY. "A very helpful friend of mine works at Lush and helped me remove all the pink stain with lemon juice, olive oil + a gritty face wash!" she told Pretty 52. LUSH, also shocked by her pink skin, reach out to Abi via Twitter to further help her out.

This beauty faux pax is a great reminder to always thoroughly read package instructions before slathering products on your body - no matter how tempting they look or smell. Keep on reading to see her flamingo-pink selfie (that required absolutely #NoFilter).

DIY This French Fishtail Ponytail Before Your Next Cardio Workout


January is notoriously the busiest month for gymgoers; and if you're committing to better fitness habits this year, then you should do it with style. To help up your workout hair game, we asked celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa to create five easy braided looks that will hold your strands in place in the most eye-catching way. Bobbi Brown makeup artist Kim Soane painted the faces of our fitness blogger models, Chase Lindsay Rosen of Athleisurely and Evann Clingan of her eponymous site, using long-wear, waterproof products. Everything was photographed at the iconic Chelsea Piers, which boasts a bevy of creative sweat-inducing classes. Every day this week, we will be revealing a new look.

First up, we have what Sarah dubs the Fishtail Ponytail Braid created on Chase. It only take four steps to DIY, and it's perfect for a cardio session - like that Beyoncé dance class you keep meaning to take!

YSL's New Color-Correcting Makeup Will Make Your Skin Look Filtered IRL


Over the past few years, it seems like our makeup routine has acquired some extra steps (eyebrow powders and gels, contouring and highlighting), but we don't mind. Not only do we find applying cosmetics soothing, these new trends have us looking our best yet! That said, we've always felt like something is still a bit off. Despite incorporating skin care, primer, and a blending sponge into our technique, our complexion just isn't as perfect as those of our favorite makeup artists on Instagram.

You may be thinking that level of perfection comes from formidable lighting and apps like Facetune, but that's not all: color correcting is the secret behind those flawless faces. We had always believed that this was a skippable step, but it's not. Even if you're wearing a medium-to-full coverage foundation and a kickass concealer, imperfections like ruddiness, sallow skin, and dark circles can shine through. That said, choosing the right pastel hues for your concerns can be very puzzling - where do I put this purple cream? And now where do I put the green formula?

No need for confusion any longer! Yves Saint Laurent has launched six new tinted treatments to take the guesswork out of color correcting, making it as easy as priming your skin or gliding a highlighting pen over your skin. First, it's debuted the Saint Laurent Forever Light Creator CC Primer ($45). This comes in three shades: rose, lavender, and apricot.

Those with fair, dull skin should opt for rose - the fresh baby-pink tint will breathe life into your complexion. Lavender is ideal for ladies who have tendencies to look sick or sallow (purple is across from yellow in the color spectrum, meaning it will cancel out those pallid tones). And apricot will correct uneven complexions for a smooth, radiant glow. Even better, each formula minimizes pores and defends skin against free radicals, and because it contains SPF 35, you'll never have to remind yourself to put on sunscreen in the morning.

We're especially excited about the brand's other release: it's remixed its iconic Touche Éclat pens! The Touche Éclat Neutralizers ($38) also come in three hues: green, bisque, and violet. Be careful - while the primers add an ethereal tinted cast to your skin, these styluses are packed with a more opaque formula, so don't sweep it on like your favorite highlighter.

Dab the green over blemishes, rosacea, or perpetually ruddy skin. Pat a bit of the bisque shade on top of dark circles or dark spots, and use the lavender for areas of your complexion that look drab. Once you apply your favorite foundation on top, you'll see that your skin appears completely perfect - like you never had those imperfections to begin with.

Read on to see and shop these new essentials, and then watch a few color-correcting videos to brush up on your technique!

8 Classic Cold Creams to Save Your Skin This Winter


If you've ever asked a wise grandmother about her secret to youthful, smooth skin, you've probably gotten a response like: "Pond's on the face and no worries on the brain." Cold creams, such as Pond's and Noxzema, have been used to cleanse and moisturize skin for many decades - though similar creams have been popular since as early as the second century, when the Greek physician Galen developed a combination of beeswax, rosewater, and essential oils that lent a similar effect to the skin. The unique combination of fat and water in cold cream helps to moisturize, soothe, and soften skin, feeling cold to the touch but extremely refreshing when applied.

According to the 50-plus crowd and modern skin care enthusiasts alike, cold creams can be used for a plethora of purposes: moisturizing dry skin, removing makeup, softening rough patches like elbows and knees, soothing sunburns, washing the face, and even as a shaving cream. While oil-based makeup removers may cause acne flare-ups and makeup-removing wipes can tug on eyelashes, cold creams infuse moisture while completely removing even the toughest of waterproof mascaras. Cream-based products also tend to be more potent than other moisturizers during cold weather, so be sure to pick up a pot of it when your skin feels dehydrated and tight. The chilling effect of these soothing potions even helps to calm wind-chapped cheeks and lips after a walk in blustery Winter weather!

We've rounded up eight cold creams that we're sure even Grandma would swear by, so don't let Winter get the best of your skin for another second. Once you try these soothing, classic creams, you'll never go back.

25 Tattoos Fit For a Glam-Grunge Goddess


If you define grunge beauty as comprising a vampy lip, matte skin, and smoky eye, you've been missing a huge piece of the puzzle: tattoos. Sure, those three looks are essential to nailing the modernized version of the '90s trend, but makeup is also just a temporary way to get in on it.

IRL grunge goddesses are stamping their skin with a variety of cryptic tattoos. Pitch-black half moons, constellations, and lotus flowers etched in shades of black and gray create intricate designs that make bold statements.

While it might be easy to mistake them for gothic ink, don't confuse the two. These designs have an eerie vibe that looks supercool when inked on skin. If you've been thinking about your next tattoo, you might just find your next grungy look here.

Tom Ford's New Lipstick Pens Are Going to Be Your Favorite Product of 2016


When it comes to lipstick, Tom Ford is the king. There are many lipsticks I feel passionate about and use often, yet nothing has trumped Tom Ford's creamy pigmented colors. So when the fashion line's latest lip pen product landed on my desk, you could hear "yasss!" and squeals coming from the beauty department. I quickly whipped out my pocket mirror and started testing them out.

The innovative product is just as good as the original lipsticks, and they even have the same subtle vanilla-marshmallow scent. To use them, simply click the end of the pen to push the glossy stain into the velvet brush. Since the head is small, you can use it to line your lips or create an ombré effect. The formula is light, shiny, and hydrating with color that packs punch and didn't fade after I ate lunch. The shades come in a range of eight berries that go as bright as strawberry and as dark as black cherry.

They were inspired by Tom Ford's Spring 2016 runway collection, so you can bet these hues are on trend. Keep reading to see the full range, which launches on February for $52 each. Luckily, you can preorder them now at tomford.com.

Zendaya Is the Gorgeous New Face of CoverGirl


If you follow Zendaya on Instagram, you know that lately, she's been inspired to share her makeup knowledge with her fans. Her newest gig will allow her to do just that! The 19-year-old triple-threat actress, singer, and dancer can now add beauty icon to her growing résumé - she's been named the newest face of CoverGirl.

Zendaya is undeniably one of today's brightest millennials. She shuts down every red carpet she walks on. She's graced the covers of Teen Vogue and W magazines, and she isn't afraid to be bold and gracefully shut down haters. While she can pretty much pull off any look - sans makeup, full glam, or faux locks - Zendaya has proven herself to be more than just another pretty face.

The singer has publicly sparked conversations on diversity and female empowerment, making her recent pairing with the brand a match made in beauty heaven. CoverGirl is well known for enlisting powerful women for its campaigns - Zendaya joins the ranks of diverse alumnae, including Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Latifah, and Katy Perry. "I can't wait to share some of my own beauty tips with fans, and work alongside CoverGirl to continue empowering girls and women to celebrate their individuality," she said in a press release.

This isn't the first time Zendaya has been snagged for a beauty campaign, though. Last year she was announced as the first celebrity ambassador for hot-tool brand CHI, and she's also appeared in commercials for Proactiv. That said, her newest endeavor for CoverGirl is guaranteed to be huge: her first campaign ad will air during the Grammy Awards this February, featuring the new CoverGirl LashBlast Plumpify Mascara.

We can't wait to see what kind of beauty magic will happen when these two icons join forces! Read on to see a sneak peek at what's to come straight from Zendaya's Instagram.

These Photos of Freckles Will Make You Love Your Spots Even More


In a day when "fraxel" is the next word on the lips of every freckle-faced person I know, I'm delighted that British photographer Brock Elbank is celebrating these natural spots. In a photo series appropriately named Freckles, he is sharing stunning images via Instagram of those who have the skin specks.

I asked him how this project came about. He said: "When we lived in Sydney in early 2012, I played for a Saturday football team. My teammate John Lloyd's 10-year-old lad Eddie came to watch a match. Eddie had this face full of freckles like I'd never seen before. They were very intense. He was great-looking character, so I asked John if I could shoot a portrait and that was the start of it. I then become obsessed with the subject, searching out for the most diverse mix I can to document the subject. When we moved back to the UK, I had to put the series on hold while I shot my #Project60. It was an idea for Beard Season's melanoma charity, and it was exhibited at Somerset House as Beard in March 2015. But now I'm in full production of Freckles, and luckily I'm receiving the same feedback as I did with #Project60 through Instagram and other social media. Subjects are travelling from all over, including Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Norway, amongst others, to be photographed."

How I Finally Learned to Accept My Stretch Marks


Since I was 16 years old, I have hated being shirtless in public. That was when a sudden autoimmune disorder turned my life upside down. It ravaged my body, destroyed my spirit, and shut down my kidneys. The doctors placed me on a medication that caused me to expand, quickly and ceaselessly. Within a month, deep, jagged stretch marks carved themselves into my skin.

The whole ordeal lasted two years. I suffered through a misdiagnosis, more prescription medications than I could count, peritoneal dialysis (a process which replaces kidney function), a proper diagnosis, a new treatment, remission, and finally, a kidney transplant. My quiet but brave brother, Jason, donated his kidney to me, and just after I turned 18, my nightmare was over.

After this tumultuous journey, I was left with souvenirs: deep scars and stretch marks on my torso. The marks appeared as a purple color before fading to pink. They're translucent, too - you can see the veins underneath them. I thought they were gnarled, monstrous, and ugly. For women, stretch marks are open territory. They complain about them, they buy fancy creams to treat them, and together, they try to embrace them. But as a man, I didn't have access to the same open dialogue. I felt isolated by my own body issues.

Kat Von D and Too Faced May Be Partnering For an Epic Collaboration


Kat Von D is praised across the Internet for its grunge makeup shades, powerfully pigmented lipsticks, and foundation that can cover even the boldest of tattoos. Too Faced is celebrated for its cute chocolate bar-inspired shadow palettes, a partnership with transgender icon Gigi Gorgeous, and mascara that claims to be better than sex. Though the brands are wildly different, the two founders are teasing at something major: a line collaboration.

A few months ago, Kat shared an Instagram photo of one of her Studded Kiss lipsticks beside a Too Faced compact with the vague caption "Kat Von D + Too Faced = heart emoji." More recently, Too Faced co-founder Jerrod Blandino posted an image of him with Kat (and one of his adorable dogs) with the sentiments "True Love #BetterTogether."

We were initially surprised by this sneak peek as black studs and pink hearts don't quite go together in our minds, but we realized that when it comes down to it, Kat and Jerrod are both passionate about one huge aspect: both their lines are cruelty-free.
