Blake Lively Wore One Perfect Ponytail to the Met Gala
Vogue darling Blake Lively attended the 2017 Met Gala with her hot husband, Ryan Reynolds, and a ponytail that made us say, "ooh!"
The long, voluminous ponytail showed off Blake's beachy texture with a little added texture: crimping.
We got the exclusive details from celebrity stylist Rod Ortega using T3 tools.
"My inspiration was the New Romantic, '80s-style pony," Ortega said. "I'm excited about this because I grew up in the '80s, and it's personal to me. I felt really close to the theme." He also explained the updo complemented the dress instead of competing with it.
Ortega described the look as a "double pony with lift and herringbone texture - an edge to a classic pony."
Here's what you need to know to DIY at home: "For the crimped texture in the pony, use a smaller plated flat iron - I like the T3 SinglePass Compact - to bend the hair back and forth," Ortega explained. "Another tip is the use flat elastic bands instead of your typical round ones as they are easy to stack and help create lift in the pony."
Back to Blake's texture. We had to know how he worked with it and showed it off so well!
"I always blow out the hair with the T3 Featherweight Luxe hair dryer to keep Blake's natural texture, as the soft air of the dryer helps the texture come through. Less is best to bring out texture! I only work with light oils and very little hair products. L'Oreal Spray Shine L'Oreal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum is great for this, too."
When it came to makeup, she also kept it light, sticking to gorgeous gold shades.
Makeup artist Kristofer Buckle for L'Oréal Paris commented on the look in a press release, "We decided to keep Blake's makeup soft with a touch of gold. We didn't want to go too heavy with the makeup since her Versace gown made such a statement…something heavy would be too theatrical. Instead, we went for bronze-tone makeup – both on the eyes and on the face."

The 5 Healthiest Orders at Jimmy John's
Jimmy John's is a fan favorite for sandwich-lovers across the country. It's lightning fast and affordable and touts "from-scratch food made with excellent ingredients." In a world where fast food is questionable at best with hidden cryptic ingredients galore, it's nice to see Jimmy John's come out with "all natural" and "no artificial ingredients" sandwich fixings. According to their site, they say, "Our food is simple; it's clean, and it's fresh! We use locally purchased produce, which is brought in fresh and hand sliced daily."
So is Jimmy John's your healthiest fast food option? We've picked out five sandwiches that are your best bet when you're eating lighter and leaner. Key elements: focus on upping your protein and loading on extra veggies while cutting back on sodium and unnecessary processed carbs (e.g., white bread). You'll notice in the ordering section online under bread selection that "take bread out" is an option to scoop bread out of the top shell to cut back on carbs. And always remember: if you're in a pinch, a sandwich with some bread isn't going to destroy your diet.

Priyanka Chopra Looks Like a '90s Grunge Goddess at the Met Gala
This year's Met Gala theme was a tribute to Comme des Garcons's founder Rei Kawakubo, who embraces the avant-garde. Beauty chameleon Priyanka Chopra did not shy away from the challenge, with makeup artist Pati Dubroff re-creating "the glow that comes from being in a humid storm" on the star's stunning face. Dubroff, who used Laura Mercier makeup to craft the breathtaking look, exclusively revealed the details to POPSUGAR.
As you'll notice, there was a strong monochromatic aspect to Priyanka's beauty style (so grunge!), with the centerpiece of the look being her flashy metallic eye. "I thought about desert dunes and the play of light on those tones," Dubroff shared over email. "Her eye is like a bolt of lightning, mimicking her incredible Jennifer Fisher earrings."
Dubroff prepped Priyanka's skin by applying RéVive Moisturizing Renewal Eye Cream ($150) and RéVive Sensitif Renewal Cream ($215), then massaged in the formulas with frozen Makeup Drop applicators ($20 each), which depuffed and soothed her skin.
To create the "lightning bolt" eye, Dubroff created the shape with a sparkling liner, then topped it with the Metallik Pewter shade from Laura Mercier Editorial Eye Palette Intense Clays ($48). She added extra shine to the very center of the lid using MAC Cosmetics Pigment in Platinum ($22). Dubroff completed Priyanka's look with a cool chocolate lip, using Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Crushed Pecan ($28).
While Priyanka obviously is flawless, she doesn't have to worry if her makeup melts slightly throughout the evening. Dubroff swears the foundation will last all night, but the highlighter layered on top may wear - and that's a good thing. "The more it wears and get juicy, the better," the makeup artist insisted, reminding us of the "humid storm" theme. (The star's skin will look sweaty and glowy by the time she heads out of her last afterparty, which is damn sexy.) Keep reading to see more shots of this hot look!

Nancy Pelosi: "I Never Thought I'd Pray For the Day" Bush Was President
.@NancyPelosi to @jonkarl: "I never thought I'd pray for the day" when George W. Bush was president again https://t.co/F3g5VI54Ob #ThisWeek http://pic.twitter.com/0jjtChRh3w
- This Week (@ThisWeekABC) April 30, 2017
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had a slip of the tongue when she accidentally referred to President Donald Trump as former President George W. Bush during an interview on ABC's The Week. Pelosi sat down with Jonathan Karl to discuss President Trump's first 100 days in office and how the Democratic party could work with him, but it wasn't until she mixed the names up that the interview really escalated.
"Winning means winning for the American people, that either we win or whoever wins understands the priorities of the American people," she said. "And they are not with President Bush." Um. . .
"Excuse me!" she said, after catching her mistake. "I'm so sorry, President Bush. I never thought I'd pray for the day that you were president again."
Liberals could not stand President Bush - and he frequently pops up on lists of our nation's worst-ever presidents - but Pelosi seems to be saying that even Bush's most dismal approval ratings are nothing compared to the way President Trump is viewed by the Democratic leaders and left-leaning citizens.
This isn't the first time that liberals have spoken out about the ironic comparison between Trump and Bush. During Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Will Ferrell brought back his notorious George W. Bush impression to laugh about the times when he "was considered the worst president of all time."
"I needed eight years, a catastrophic flood, a war built on a lie, and an economic disaster," Ferrell said as Bush. "The new guy only needed 100 days. He is widely considered the worst president of all time. I came in second. I'm fine with that. No one remembers second place."
The Best Met Gala View Wasn't on the Red Carpet - It Was on Instagram
While the annual star-studded Met Gala offers attendees a platform to flaunt some pretty memorable looks, the same can be said about Instagram. Celebrities and stylists often take to Instagram to share stunning shots long before and after the event. What's more, this year was all about Comme des Garcons and its avant-garde visionary, Rei Kawakubo. So, what does that mean exactly? We expected the unexpected, and we weren't disappointed. Look ahead for behind-the-scenes shots from the 2017 Met Gala.
See What Your Favorite Stars Wore to Their First Met Gala
As celebrities gear up for the Met Gala every year, they tend to delight in "remember when?" moments, posting flashbacks of their first time at the ball.

Others, however, wore outfits off the beaten path - designs they might never have picked back in the early 2000s or late '90s. Scroll for a full rundown on what your favorite supermodels and stars wore for their first rodeo at fashion's prom night.
This Bride’s Custom Christian Siriano Dress Was the Grand Finale to a Weekend of Pretty Gowns
There's nothing like being a Christian Siriano bride, and Scream star Carlson Young can probably attest to this.

Christian gave a shout out to the bride on Instagram, writing, "Congratulations to my love @carlsonyoung on your wedding!! Loved making this gown for you!"
This look was Carlson's grand finale to a weekend of pretty dresses.

Selena Gomez's Met Gala Purse Came With a Message That Shouldn't Be Missed
At the 2017 Met Gala, Selena Gomez made her first red carpet appearance with The Weeknd. While the new couple showed each other affection throughout the evening, Selena's pint-size handbag boasted a big message about individuality and self-love that should not be missed.
Following the event, Coach shared a picture of the bottom of Selena's bag, which read, "Love yourself first." Only Selena's biggest fans might know this, but the multi-hyphenate has that same exact phrase tattooed on her side in Arabic script. Ahead, see pictures of the statement-making bag.

Selena Gomez’s Eye Shadow Transformed Her Entire Look at the Met Gala
Selena Gomez had jaws dropping and heads turning when she arrived at the 2017 Met Gala, but while most were in awe at her first red carpet with boyfriend The Weeknd, we couldn't help but fall into the gaze of her stunning makeup.
Selena might have opted for an understated Coach slip dress, but that captivating eye shadow fell perfectly in line with the Comme des Garcons theme. Chris McMillan took care of her sleek A-line bob, and celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo gave Selena a nude lip to guarantee all eyes were glued to her striking Marc Jacobs pink eye shadow.
"I originally was going to do something very soft on Selena, and kept that idea in mind for the most part when deciding on her makeup look," Vanngo said. "The twist was the bright pink eyeliner I came across while sorting through colors. I thought it would be a fun punch of color, but still go with the overall makeup look."
To create that radiating hot pink eye, Vanngo used Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon in Pop(ular) 49 ($25) and the soft shadows from Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eye Shadow Palette in The Lover 220 ($59).

Princess Charlotte is growing up fast! In honor of her second birthday on May 2, a precious new photo of Charlotte was released by the Duchess of Cambridge on Monday. In the snap, the little one gives a sly smirk while wearing a yellow sweater and holding on to what appears to be a book.

It's already shaping up to be a big week for the family; Will and Kate celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday, and the duchess is scheduled to visit Farms For City Children in the UK on Wednesday.

The Met Gala Was a Gathering Place For Justin Bieber's Ex-Girlfriends (and His Rumored New 1)
The Met Gala went down in NYC on Monday, and in addition to the night's theme providing gorgeous fashion from some of our favorite stars, there was also a glaring theme among some of the younger guests: a lot of them have dated Justin Bieber. The "I'm the One" singer's most famous ex, Selena Gomez, was in attendance with her boyfriend The Weeknd, and some of his past flings, including Hailey Baldwin and Sofia Richie were also there. And in another weird twist of fate, Justin's rumored new girlfriend, Pitch Perfect 2 star Hailee Steinfeld, also made an appearance. A fan even snapped a photo of Justin meeting up with Hailee after the big night. While we don't think his exes became best friends while bonding in the bathroom (besides pals Hailey and Kendall Jenner), it was pretty odd seeing them all pop up at the same event. Hollywood is a small world, y'all.

The 50-year-old Mexican actress rocked an ensemble from Balenciaga that surprised us in an unexpected way.
At first, we thought the simple black dress with a bow was it, but look closely and you'll see Salma was wearing two pieces. She rocked electric blue boot pants from the French designer - yes, her shoes were also her pants!
On the red carpet, Salma described Comme des Garcons's designer Rei Kawakubo as "innovative, imaginative and ahead of their time" to E! News, so it's really no wonder she went with this futuristic look. Keep scrolling to see more of Salma.

Get Your Hands on Trader Joe's New Canned Wines Before They All Sell Out
Trader Joe's just released the greatest new product for our Summer enjoyment: cans of sparkling wine in both white and rosé. Called Simpler Wine, the Italian-imported vino frizzante (sparkling wine) comes in four-packs for $4. According to the website, the white has "notes of juicy honeydew and fresh-cut herbs" and should be paired with "fresh bread and olives or Parmigiano Reggiano". The rosé contains "mineral notes and red fruit flavors" and is recommended for "fresh pasta, seafood, or sweets." Our nearest TJ's sold out of these beverages so we have yet to try them for ourselves. Therefore, stock up on a pack or two if you see them at your store. While we wish Trader Joe's would come up with a packaged frosé Otter Pop . . . we'll gladly settle for these convenient cans of bubbly.
5 Absolutely Unbelievable Conspiracies Alex Jones Actually Peddles
Image Source: Facebook user AlexanderEmerickJones
All press is good press, so the saying goes. Alex Jones, host of the ultraparanoid and ultraconservative Infowars, is quickly becoming the internet's favorite person to lampoon. Truthfully, Jones does make it quite easy. While it's all fun and games to satirize Jones's outlandish beliefs, in reality, his theories are dangerous - and they have outsize influence. Earlier this month, Time referred to Jones as "Donald Trump's favorite conspiracy theorist."
Based in Austin, TX, Jones got his start on a public-access cable show, on which his bombastic character made him popular from the onset of his career. By 2001, Jones's radio show The Final Edition was syndicated on more than 100 stations. In addition to hosting a radio show, Jones disseminates his conspiracies on his website Infowars, which is largely considered a fake news source by the left and the right. Many of Jones's claims are easily disproved, but given the advent of "fake news," it's also easy for Jones to excuse criticism as such.
What exactly does Jones believe? Let's explore a smattering of his most absurd theories and his penchant for theatrics.
1. He has long claimed that 9/11 was orchestrated.
Jones's most popular conspiracy is that 9/11 was "an inside job." Alleging that then-President George W. Bush planned the World Trade Center attack to further his agenda and impose further control on citizens, he's also claimed that the CIA planned the tragedy with Osama bin Laden, who Jones believes was a CIA operative.
"All terrorism that we've looked at from the World Trade Center to Oklahoma City to Waco has been government actions. They need this as a pretext to bring you and your family martial law," Jones said on the Sept. 11, 2001, broadcast of his show. "They're either using provocateur Arabs and allowing them to do it or this is full complicity with the federal government. The evidence is overwhelming."
2. He speculated that the Sandy Hook massacre might not have happened.
Disturbingly, Jones has argued that the shooting that left 20 schoolchildren and six adults dead was a homeland security drill. Jones has been widely criticized for his theory and his cruelty to the memory of the children killed that day - including by the victims' parents. Jones has also posited that it was staged so the government could strip citizens of their right to bear arms.
3. He pushed the discredited theory that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue.
Jones backed the now-proven-false conspiracy that Planned Parenthood was profiting from abortions. Activists entrapped Planned Parenthood employees and released what was perceived to be evidence that the nonprofit was, indeed, selling fetal tissue.
ok i have no words for this one. zero http://pic.twitter.com/x4wKeWaDZ4

4. He believes weather can be weaponized.
After a 2013 tornado killed 24 people in Oklahoma, Jones argued that the government might be responsible through various aircraft propellants. Citing a flood in Texas, Jones claimed it was the Air Force that caused the incident. "We had floods in Texas like 15 years ago, killed 30-something people in one night," Jones said. "Turned out it was the Air Force."
5. He claimed that Hillary Clinton was operating a child sex ring out of a DC pizza restaurant.
Nicknamed #Pizzagate, Jones was responsible for circulating the erroneous claim that Hillary Clinton and other Democratic party members were operating a child sex trafficking ring out of restaurants across the country. Pointing to what he described as coded messages in John Podesta's leaked emails, Jones alleged a specific pizza restaurant in DC, Comet Ping Pong, hosted the ring. On Dec. 16, one of Jones's listeners drove from North Carolina to the restaurant he named to "self-investigate" the situation; the man was armed with an AR-15.
Jones has since apologized for spreading the theory, however, it's difficult to say whether he actually is sincere or merely regrets that someone was driven to violence because of his theory.

You're probably thinking Jones's claims are too ridiculous to be believed, but alas, they are not. A Rolling Stone profile of Jones estimated his radio show draws more listeners than Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck combined. But that was in 2013, and Jones's clout has increased exponentially since then: he's apparently captured the president's attention more than once. And if Pizzagate is any warning, Jones's listeners are not a passive bunch.
Get Your Hands on Trader Joe's New Canned Wines Before They All Sell Out
Trader Joe's just released the greatest new product for our Summer enjoyment: cans of sparkling wine in both white and rosé. Called Simpler Wine, the Italian-imported vino frizzante (sparkling wine) comes in four-packs for $4. According to the website, the white has "notes of juicy honeydew and fresh-cut herbs" and should be paired with "fresh bread and olives or Parmigiano Reggiano". The rosé contains "mineral notes and red fruit flavors" and is recommended for "fresh pasta, seafood, or sweets." Our nearest TJ's sold out of these beverages so we have yet to try them for ourselves. Therefore, stock up on a pack or two if you see them at your store. While we wish Trader Joe's would come up with a packaged frosé Otter Pop . . . we'll gladly settle for these convenient cans of bubbly.

5 Absolutely Unbelievable Conspiracies Alex Jones Actually Peddles
Image Source: Facebook user AlexanderEmerickJones
All press is good press, so the saying goes. Alex Jones, host of the ultraparanoid and ultraconservative Infowars, is quickly becoming the internet's favorite person to lampoon. Truthfully, Jones does make it quite easy. While it's all fun and games to satirize Jones's outlandish beliefs, in reality, his theories are dangerous - and they have outsize influence. Earlier this month, Time referred to Jones as "Donald Trump's favorite conspiracy theorist."
Based in Austin, TX, Jones got his start on a public-access cable show, on which his bombastic character made him popular from the onset of his career. By 2001, Jones's radio show The Final Edition was syndicated on more than 100 stations. In addition to hosting a radio show, Jones disseminates his conspiracies on his website Infowars, which is largely considered a fake news source by the left and the right. Many of Jones's claims are easily disproved, but given the advent of "fake news," it's also easy for Jones to excuse criticism as such.
What exactly does Jones believe? Let's explore a smattering of his most absurd theories and his penchant for theatrics.
1. He has long claimed that 9/11 was orchestrated.
Jones's most popular conspiracy is that 9/11 was "an inside job." Alleging that then-President George W. Bush planned the World Trade Center attack to further his agenda and impose further control on citizens, he's also claimed that the CIA planned the tragedy with Osama bin Laden, who Jones believes was a CIA operative.
"All terrorism that we've looked at from the World Trade Center to Oklahoma City to Waco has been government actions. They need this as a pretext to bring you and your family martial law," Jones said on the Sept. 11, 2001, broadcast of his show. "They're either using provocateur Arabs and allowing them to do it or this is full complicity with the federal government. The evidence is overwhelming."
2. He speculated that the Sandy Hook massacre might not have happened.
Disturbingly, Jones has argued that the shooting that left 20 schoolchildren and six adults dead was a homeland security drill. Jones has been widely criticized for his theory and his cruelty to the memory of the children killed that day - including by the victims' parents. Jones has also posited that it was staged so the government could strip citizens of their right to bear arms.
3. He pushed the discredited theory that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue.
Jones backed the now-proven-false conspiracy that Planned Parenthood was profiting from abortions. Activists entrapped Planned Parenthood employees and released what was perceived to be evidence that the nonprofit was, indeed, selling fetal tissue.
ok i have no words for this one. zero http://pic.twitter.com/x4wKeWaDZ4

4. He believes weather can be weaponized.
After a 2013 tornado killed 24 people in Oklahoma, Jones argued that the government might be responsible through various aircraft propellants. Citing a flood in Texas, Jones claimed it was the Air Force that caused the incident. "We had floods in Texas like 15 years ago, killed 30-something people in one night," Jones said. "Turned out it was the Air Force."
5. He claimed that Hillary Clinton was operating a child sex ring out of a DC pizza restaurant.
Nicknamed #Pizzagate, Jones was responsible for circulating the erroneous claim that Hillary Clinton and other Democratic party members were operating a child sex trafficking ring out of restaurants across the country. Pointing to what he described as coded messages in John Podesta's leaked emails, Jones alleged a specific pizza restaurant in DC, Comet Ping Pong, hosted the ring. On Dec. 16, one of Jones's listeners drove from North Carolina to the restaurant he named to "self-investigate" the situation; the man was armed with an AR-15.
Jones has since apologized for spreading the theory, however, it's difficult to say whether he actually is sincere or merely regrets that someone was driven to violence because of his theory.

Watch out, McDonald's, because it looks like Taco Bell is giving chicken nuggets a uniquely delicious spin. Meet Naked Chicken Chips, the new triangular chicken nugget from Taco Bell taking care of all your dipping needs. After creating a crispy chicken taco shell earlier this year, Taco Bell decided to bring back Naked Chicken in triangular nacho form, and it looks incredible.
Starting May 11 for a limited time, Taco Bell will sell Naked Chicken Chips with its beloved Nacho Cheese Sauce nationwide. The chips are made of crispy, all-white meat chicken, and we're calling it now - chips and dip will never be the same. You can indulge in a 6-piece for $2 or a 12-piece for $3, but it will also be available in a $5 Box with a Burrito Supreme, a crunchy taco of your choice, and a medium drink. The chicken chips will only be available for six weeks, so get dipping!
Halle Berry's Met Gala Hairstyle Looks Like a Standard Updo - Until You See It From the Back
Many stars attempt to look like royalty at the Met Gala, but in our minds, this year's red carpet queen was Halle Berry. You may not have noticed, but the actress was wearing an actual crown!
Celebrity stylist Castillo flawlessly balanced elegance and opulence with a rolled ponytail bun. His inspiration came from the star's Versace gown. "At first, I wanted to do something pretty and down the back, but then realized I wanted to keep the look all about the dress," he told POPSUGAR via email. "I didn't want to take away from the elements that made this dress amazing, so I decided to pull the hair back and do an elegant low bun with a crown at the top."
After creating a center part on hair prepped with MarulaOil Rare Oil Style Extending Primer ($16), Castillo created loose and natural waves on Halle using a mix of Neuro hot tools, including two unclipped curling irons and the Smooth Iron ($135). He then brushed hair into a low pony, backcombed it for volume, and rolled and pinned it up into a bun, topping it with a crown.
If you plan on DIYing this for your next major event, know that great texture is the key to the look. "That's really going to lend itself to create a shape that doesn't sit flat and add volume to the bun or chignon you're creating," explained Castillo. Read on to see the stunning style from all angles.

Michelle Obama Addresses the Melania Trump Gift Meme
One of the most talked about moments on Inauguration Day was a seemingly awkward moment between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. But, according to Obama, the moment was more about trying to hold back her emotions than anything else.
In case you forgot, on Inauguration Day, when the new first lady and president of the United States arrived at the White House, Trump greeted Obama and handed her a gift. The moment was captured by ABC News and showed Obama's puzzled face as she wondered where to put the gift. The internet was quick to say Obama's face was a reaction to the incoming Trump presidency. But at the American Institute of Architects conference on April 27, Obama revealed what her actual emotions were. The former first lady said she was beginning to realize these were her last moments in the White House - a not-so-easy moment, especially for her daughters, who grew up there.
"So that moment of transition, right before the doors opened and we welcomed in the new family, our kids were leaving out the back door in tears, saying goodbye to people," she said at the event. Obama said she didn't want to have tears in her eyes to avoid any backlash. "I didn't want to have tears in my eyes because people would swear I was crying because of the new president," she said, according to Today.
At the conference, Obama told the audience that Sasha and Malia's last night at the White House involved a slumber party with friends. "They had a sleepover, because of course on Inauguration Day, because my girls are so normal, they're like, 'Well, eight girls are gonna be sleeping here because it's our last time, and we want pizza and we want nuggets.' And it's like, really?"
This was Obama's first public speaking appearance since Inauguration Day, and we're glad to see her back in the spotlight.
Beloved '90s Brand Tony & Tina Is Back - and It's Better Than Ever
One of the most memorable beauty lines of my youth was Tony & Tina. Founded in 1997 by Anthony Gill and Cristina Bornstein, the collection was inspired by alternative medicines, including color therapy, energy healing, aromatherapy, and crystals. The popular range consisted of the most incredible holographic lip glosses (which would be so popular today!), chakra-awakening nail lacquers, loose glitters, and many more products that I used to save up for to buy at my local Sephora. To my great disappointment, the brand disappeared around 2004.
Tony & Tina was ahead of its time: the intersection of health, beauty, and self-care is one that cosmetics companies are capitalizing on right now. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised to learn that after a long break, Tony & Tina is back! According to Bornstein, she'd been trying to resurrect the brand for a while, but the two founders wanted to do it their way.
"We asked ourselves, 'What makes us happy?'" she told me via email. "The answer was bringing healing products and a healing self-care lifestyle to as many people as we can so we can contribute positive energy to our collective consciousness."
Just as its fans have spent the past decade maturing their tastes, so have the founders behind the brand. Bornstein shared that Tony & Tina (2.0, as she called it) is taking the original alternative inspirations behind the brand to the next level.
"During our hiatus, I dove into the healing world and became a certified Eden energy medicine practitioner," she shared. (She's already a reiki master, meditation guide, and a self-care specialist.) Meanwhile, Gill had become a biodynamic agriculturist in New Zealand. "He encouraged me to create a line of hand-crafted, energy-infused products," she said. The timing was perfect, as her clients had started asking her for specific healing treatments.
The revamped Tony & Tina line, which is available at luxe beauty retailer Credo, features small-batch, handcrafted products that are each infused with sound therapy, crystal therapy, energy medicine, reiki, and positive intentions. This includes a delicious multiuse hair, body, and skin care formula called Coconut Bliss ($55) and Healthy Aura sprays ($43), which have a small clear quartz crystal in the bottle.
Along with every beauty product, the brand is also helping its customers along their self-care journeys with tools paired with the purchased item, like video tutorials on how to support and protect your energy and guided meditations. Bornstein creates this content herself and has expanded it to a "self-care moments with Tina" series on the brand's Instagram.
When I asked Bornstein what she thought about the sudden trend of mindfulness and energy healing, considering that she's been ascribing to it for decades, she told me, "There is an energetic transformation taking place on our planet right now. Many people are awakening to their own inner-wisdom and their inner-healer." She added, "Self-care will absolutely change your life, but you must be committed to it . . . it's like working out, except it's an energy workout."
In addition to using Tony & Tina products in conjunction with her tutorials, she recommended deep breathing methods and Eden energy techniques. "Even a smile works," she told me.
If you're reading this and have been patiently awaiting the return of the brand's iconic makeup products (just like me!), you may be in luck. "We would love to bring it all back - we LOVE creating!" Bornstein said. Someday, the founders hope to re-create the original cosmetics lineup with clean, eco-friendly formulas and packaging, as well as an expanded lineup of self-care items, like color therapy sheets.
"The ultimate big dream is to get land in upstate NY and create an eco-healing center with a farm, so we can grow our own herbs and ingredients and teach self-care and many other modalities," she said.
While I look forward to the day I can get a brand-new tube of Aura Lights holographic lip gloss and once again align my chakras with nail polish, I'm enjoying Tony & Tina's newest incarnation and am amped to see how the company continues to evolve.

Self-Tanning Addicts, Prepare to Freak: Behold, the First-Ever Tanning Sheet Mask
If you're a self-tanning addict like myself, you will praise the tanning gods for St. Tropez's newest innovation: St.Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Face Sheet Mask ($9). Like its in-shower self-tanning wash, this product works double duty to hydrate and tan your face.
Modeled after the popular Korean sheet mask trend, this one leaves your skin dewy and hydrated, but also adds a tanned glow. You get to control how deep the color is: leave it on five minutes for a light touch of color, 10 minutes for medium, and 15 for deep. One you apply, wash your hands and let it do its thing.
After giving this a try ahead of a wedding, I can attest that the color looks natural and doesn't make your skin appear too tan (read: orange), and the color leans more olive (in true St. Tropez fashion). After you've removed the mask, use the excess serum to blend your hairline, nose, and jaw, and don't forget to wash your hands afterward!
Like most self=tanning products, the color will last depending on your beauty habits. If you exfoliate frequently or use products that are especially emollient, you might see the color fade faster. But the key is to keep your skin hydrated after the application, even though the mask does a good job of doing so for at least 24 hours afterward.
You can pick up the sheet mask exclusively on Sephora.com on May 22.
