8 Sibling-Owned Beauty Brands That May Inspire You to Start a Business With Your Fam

You could be unstoppable! These eight sibling-owned beauty brands have totally taken advantage of that unique family bond to create incredible products for everyone to enjoy.

Regardless, these brands have made a huge impact on the beauty industry.

Stormi Webster Is Already on Her Way to Influencer Status, Thanks to Mom Kylie Jenner
It looks like 5-year-old North West isn't the only one who's following in her mom's beauty mogul footsteps. Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi Webster is already becoming a mini influencer and starring in her mom's hair-themed Instagram stories. The 1-year-old got her hair done by the owner of Kylie Cosmetics herself – and looked mighty cute doing it.
Jenner gave Webster a small ponytail, and wrote in the caption that she loves doing her hair, and although she's not the best at it, she's learning. She also mentioned that some of her favorite memories were of her mom doing her own hair. While Webster's hair isn't long enough to all fit in a ponytail yet, we're sure that as soon as she's old enough she'll be wearing it at super-long lengths just like her aunties.

Even Lopez's nails were shone - encrusted in jewels by manicurist Tom Bachik.

Kacey Musgraves Is Giving Us Butterflies With Her Cher-Style Long Hair at the ACMs
Kacey Musgraves has been dominating music this year (she won four Grammys for her album Golden Hour), so it's no wonder she's starting to embody a music legend. While attending the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 7, the star looked strangely familiar. Her long, hip-length hair, center part, and doll-eye lashes look eerily like Cher's go-to look in the '70s. The celebs look so similar that it definitely requires a double take.
The singer paired her dramatic hair look with romantic pink eye shadow and a nude lip that let her bold tie-dye outfit really stand out. Check out her '70s Rapunzel-length hair from every angle ahead.
3 Head-Turning Hairstyles to Make You Forget Your Feet Are Killing You at Coachella
This headline may be misleading, because, let's be clear: nothing will make you forget the pain your feet will endure at Coachella. But that's what you prepare for in the desert, among other things. For instance, you might accrue a dust-driven sinus infection, contract acne cosmetica, and spend most of your life's savings on lodging - but you're at Coachella, a desert wonderland where thousands congregate to see their favorite artists, show off interesting fashion choices, and, of course, flood the 'gram with photos. One thing we all know about the festival is that beauty looks tend to be eccentric, a form of self expression (or, perhaps, "selfie expression"), and unfortunately, culturally appropriative at times. (If you're questioning your choices, here's a primer on what to avoid.)
Justine Marjan, who has worked on the Kardashians, Ashley Graham, and countless Fashion Week shows, told us which hairstyles she predicts will take over in Indio, CA. In the past, we saw a lot of hair glitter, braids, and bright hair colors, but this year, Marjan believes it's going to be all about amping up your everyday hairstyle with bold accessories. Marjan just launched her second collaboration with Kitsch, a collection of bedazzled hair clips that hairstylists and consumers have both fallen in love with. She also predicts the use of halo hair extensions, but with a twist, and curtain-esque hair chains.
Keep reading to learn more about her predictions for this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The Tortoiseshell Trend Just Found Its Way to Your Nails, and You Need Them ASAP
Tortoiseshell is a likely color pattern for glasses, jewelry, and cats. But like all great things, it's made its way to the beauty world. First, there was tortoiseshell hair, a subtle brunette color with honey, caramel, and copper hues. Now, and perhaps even better, the pattern has made its way onto nails - and we didn't think a manicure could look so chic.
Great for beginners, this technique involves a lot of blobbing - perfection isn't necessary - of some autumnal brown and black shades. But simple tortoiseshell isn't the only way to create the effect; other interpretations of the design include accent nails, negative space designs, and gold leaf effects, making this nail trend the centerpiece of any outfit.
Get a closer look at the different types of tortoiseshell nails out there, and get ready to bookmark all of them to show your nail tech.
Hello, Hi, This Tortoiseshell Makeup Deserves Your Attention - Here's How to Re-Create It
Tortoiseshell: it might remind you of those glasses that your mom made you wear as a child (which have since come back into fashion) or it might remind you of that adorable neighborhood cat that roams around your street. But for us beauty enthusiasts, tortoiseshell is the newest inspiration for, well, everything. First there came tortoiseshell hair, then our nails got involved, and now it's making its way into your makeup routine. Yep, the trend has made its way onto our eyelids, and we couldn't be happier.
The stylish brown and black pattern looks like leopard print's distant cousin who has a cute accent, lives in a stylish studio apartment, and has an espresso machine. It's also pretty easy to re-create according to its birth mom. Makeup artist Alexandria shared her tortoiseshell eye makeup on Instagram, and it's one of our new favorites. The inspiration behind the look? Apparently it was her boyfriend's idea. Good work, boyfriend.
Alexandria gave POPSUGAR all the details on how to re-create this look. Firstly, she brushed up her (probably already incredibly perfect looking) brows and filled them in with Benefit Cosmetics Ka Brow in shade 3 ($24). Then using three eye-shadow palettes (props to Alexandria for actually using palettes rather than just hoarding them), Lorac Cosmetics Pro Palette ($44), Give Me Glow Cosmetics Summer Vibes Palette ($54), and Kat Von D Beauty Mi Vida Loca Palette, she started with a white base followed by yellow and created a wing shape - we recommend using some tape to create a line sharper than your neighborhood tortie's nails. She then added some spots of black eyeliner using Urban Decay Eyeliner in Perversion ($22) and blended the edges with dark brown eye shadow, followed by an orange/red shade into the yellow. To finish, she cleaned everything up with some concealer and a flat brush.
Her look has already been re-created once, and we bet it won't be long before this trend ends up all over your Instagram feed.

Try to Keep Up With Kourtney Kardashian's Massive Designer Bag Collection
Kourtney Kardashian's handbag collection is, in a word, extensive. The eldest of America's most famous sisters has no shortage of designer duds at her disposal - and the same clearly goes for her arm candy. Seemingly every time she steps out, Kourtney is toting a bag from high-end hitmakers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and Fendi.
Kourtney's style is arguably the least over-the-top, compared to the rest of her siblings: she keeps it sexy but (mostly) wearable and carries handbags that veer on that same sleek and classic-meets-trendy side, often repeating her favorites. And aside from travel gear, she clearly prefers styles that are small to mini size. Whether a member of her entourage is carrying all her extra stuff or she manages to fit it all into her teeny purses, we may never know.

We Forgot How Good Jennifer Garner's Red Carpet Style Is - Until We Saw These Dresses
The world seemed to stop when Jennifer Garner arrived on the 2018 Oscars red carpet in this rich blue Atelier Versace number. She instantly made our best dressed list, and not just because her color choice was bold but because she carried herself with confidence and looked superbly graceful.

Emma Watson's Style Transformation Is as Magical to Relive as All the Harry Potter Movies Combined

Emma's become a strong activist with her He For She campaign, championed eco-friendly fashion brands, modeled for Burberry, and starred in other highly raved movies like Beauty and the Beast. Just like her vast portfolio of accolades, Emma's style, too, has evolved over time with her career.
Now more than ever, the star attends major red carpet events, and fashion houses such as Dior and Alexander McQueen are right there to dress her. Emma's not shy about experimenting with dress silhouettes - she's worn everything from minis to poufy ballgowns - and she rocks pantsuits on the regular. Even her outfits from eight years ago show she was willing to take fashion risks. No matter what Emma puts on, she can rock the hell out of it. Take a trip down memory lane by looking at some of her memorable outfits.

ICYMI, country superstar Miranda Lambert is married, and she's got the gorgeous ring to prove it!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have taught us so many style lessons, we need a new notebook, because these pages are filled.

4 Real Ways to Wear a Puffy-Sleeve Top IRL
As much as I hate to generalize, I think it's safe to assume that the work wear rut is a very familiar place for many women. Even if you don't dress for an office, then I imagine you've struggled with breaking an all-too repetitive outfit routine at one point or another. No matter where we're going or what we're dressing for, we all have our go-to combos: for me it's often a button-down shirt and jeans, midi skirt and sweater, or waist-cinching dress with mules. Easy, simple looks we know we can lean on when rushing out the door.
Well, as much as I thought I had my combos down pat, I quickly realized after starting a new job four weeks ago that my "fail-safe" looks were anything but. The dress I thought would be effortless felt overdone, the trousers I thought were sleek felt stuffy, and my assortment of knits felt a litte humdrum. I needed something that felt smart but fashion-forward and versatile enough that I could wear it a few different ways. That's when I landed on the most darling top from the POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's - the Puff-Sleeve Button-Down Top from the April drop, to be exact.
Now, let me preface this next part by saying that I am borderline obsessed with white tops from oversize button-downs to crewneck tees. OK, you're prefaced. While my penchant for white tops is strong, this classic-with-a-twist style can work for just about every woman out there and for various occasions from the office to weekend brunch and Spring get-togethers with friends. With playful puffy sleeves, the silhouette is right up my alley in terms of femininity and tempered drama, pairing easily with midi skirts, jeans, and pants. It's the exact modern update I'm looking for when it comes to a smart, office-appropriate piece - just nuanced enough that it's interesting but not distracting or unprofessional.
While I do understand how the shape can feel intense for those who are less than volume inclined, the lightweight cotton fabric keeps the top from feeling overly sweet and trendy. But to further prove how versatile, polished, and easy to wear this puffy sleeve top is, I styled it four different ways and documented the journey for your outfit ideating pleasure.
Ahead, witness four office-approved looks featuring the new Puff-Sleeve Button-Down Top. Plus, shop the fresh-for-Spring pieces I chose to pair with it.
These Celebs Have Multiple Engagement Rings, Because Obviously 1 Is Not Enough

Even In a Shimmering Lace Dress, Nicole Kidman Made Sure We Noticed Her Shoes
Nicole Kidman was radiant as she attended the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night. Keith Urban was a performer for the night and also recipient of the entertainer of the year award, and as ever, Nicole was there to provide support for her husband of 12 years. She did so in serious style, dressed in a crystal mesh dress with lace sleeves by Scottish designer Christopher Kane. The dress, from the designer's Fall 2019 collection, was enough of a statement in itself with its lace panels and leather details, but Nicole made sure to keep the interest going right down to her feet.
The actress wore a pair of silver peep toe heels with contrasting black ankle straps, and one quick little styling detail made them really stand out. She chose to tie up her straps in an asymmetric style, with one bow at the back of the ankle, and the other at the front. It added one final irreverent touch to her experimental look, and we love it. Keep reading to see Nicole's outfit - and those shoes - from all angles, ahead.

Bebe Rexha Still Has Something to Say to the Designers Who Wouldn't Dress Her For the Grammys
Before the Grammys this year, first-time nominee Bebe Rexha filmed an emotional video where she spoke out against the fashion houses and designers that claimed they didn't want to dress her for the red carpet because, as a size 8, she was considered "too big." The video, unsurprisingly, went viral, and a number of designers stepped up with offers to dress her. Bebe ended up hitting the red carpet in a stunning ruffled gown by Monsoori, which ended up being one of the most memorable looks of award season. However, Bebe is definitely not done when it comes to speaking out against those in the fashion industry who refused her.
"I like my curves," Bebe said during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, continuing, "I don't want to be at a place where I'm starving myself to fit into certain clothes." She spoke about previous struggles with her weight, and how she's come to find healthy balance, but also explained how scared she was to put the video out, because it could have resulted in a black mark against her name. Calling for more inclusivity across the industry, Bebe gave a shout-out to a couple of designers who did step forward to send her clothes and had some strong words for those who didn't. Watch for yourself to find out what she had to say, then keep reading to see her Grammys gown in all its glory.
Kacey Musgraves's Tie-Dye Suit Looks Approximately 10 Times More Magical From the Side
Kacey Musgraves just flawlessly proved, yet again, that she can rock pastels on the red carpet like no other. The 30-year-old singer turned heads at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday when she showed up in a dreamy cotton candy-colored pantsuit. A straight-off-the-runway ensemble from Christian Cowan's recent Powerpuff Girls collection, Kacey's outfit featured muted hues inspired by the superpowered sister trio, all blended together like watercolors. Her blazer sleeves and wide-leg pants were hiding shimmery pleated details that caught our eye as she made her way down the red carpet.
Not only was Kacey's outfit a nod to this season's ever-popular tie-dye trend, but it also could've been a subtle reference to her single, "Rainbow." Kacey, who nabbed the female artist of the year award during the show, styled her suit with pink platform heels and a Tyler Ellis clutch.

This New Canned Sparkling Wine Means You'll Never Have to Fear Popping Champagne Again
I am never the friend who volunteers to open the bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine because it genuinely makes me nervous. What I can do without hesitation, however, is crack open a can of beer or wine, and a new canned sparkling wine company called Shamps has officially changed the game. Shamps is canned sparkling wine with 110 calories and 5 percent ABV per 12-ounce can, and it comes in six-packs (with a really cute design). It was founded in NYC "by a few sparkling wine-lovers who wished their favorite drink could be more accessible," the website explains, and it's set to debut in May of this year.
Shamps doesn't have exact availability and information about where you'll be able to buy after the launch in May, but it does have a fun Instagram account for photos and updates. It's no secret that canned wine has become more popular than ever, but we've yet to see a Champagne-like version until now. Get ready to cheers at baby showers, make mimosas at the drop of a hat, and stock your fridge with ready-to-crack cans ahead of a celebration.

The sweet treat has a soft-pink hue and is flavored to taste like a 6-year-old's dream food, and it even has sprinkles mixed right in, according to a sneak peek posted by The Junk Goat on Instagram.
Scooping a dollop of this on top of pumpkin pie or hot chocolate might seem plain wrong, but it'd make a great topping for ice cream, milkshakes, or even waffles (if you're channeling your inner Leslie Knope). Or freeze it and eat it with a spoon! Just imagine showing up to a family party as a kid and seeing someone break out a tub of this. I would have been shoveling it into my mouth by the spoonful, whether it was my birthday or not.
While store availability and prices have yet to be officially announced, you can catch a glimpse of what's beneath the lid of this Birthday Cake Cool Whip ahead.

The drink, which made its exclusive debut at Disney Springs back in 2017, is heading to locations in Colombia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Central America, where guests will be able to order a revamped version of it from April 10-14. The updated Pink Flamingo Frappuccino is a blended strawberry beverage that's topped with whipped cream and cookie pieces, and it'll be available for purchase while supplies last.
In addition to that, Starbucks Asia is adding two brand-new Frappuccinos to its lineup. The drinks in question are the new Mixed Berry Frappuccino With Pomegranate Pearls and the Yuzu Honey Jelly Yogurt Frappuccino, both of which sound like two perfect ways to cope with the Summer heat. The former item is a blend of mixed berries and milk topped with pomegranate pearls, while the Yuzu Honey Jelly Yogurt concoction is made with real yogurt, honey, and yuzu jelly. Both cold beverages are now available in Starbucks locations all across Asia. Catch a glimpse of all three drinks and their descriptions ahead.

Travelers Swear by This "Pillow," and, Hear Us Out, It Looks Weird but Also Very Comfy
Whether you are traveling by plane, train, or automobile, taking a nap while on the go can be very troublesome. It's hard to get comfortable, even with a traditional U-shaped travel pillow, and the likelihood of a stiff neck is pretty much a given. Fortunately, it sounds like avid travelers have finally found a game-changing product that'll allow you to nap pretty much anywhere: the Trtl Travel Pillow ($30).
The "pillow" is more of a wrap - made with supersoft fleece and available in four colors (black, gray, red, and coral) - that Velcros around your neck to offer support. According to the brand, the pillow is scientifically proven to support your head and neck unlike any other travel pillow, because it is padded with memory foam ensuring maximum comfort and support while you sleep. Its patented design allows it to fit any neck, jaw, and shoulder shape, too, even though it's half the size of a regular U-shaped pillow, weighing in at only half a pound and folding almost flat, which means you can easily stuff it into a backpack or carryon.
More than 3,000 people have rated the product on Amazon. One recent Amazon reviewer said: "[I] was able to sleep comfortably on the plane. I won't travel without it!" Another reviewer contended, "Best travel pillow I've had, and I've tried them all." Our very own editors have tested and given the funky-looking pillow a must-try seal of approval. So there's nothing more to say; give it a try!

Heinz Is Dropping a Ketchup-Ranch Hybrid, and I Can't Wait to Spread That Sh*t on Everything
I consider myself a hardcore condiment aficionado.

So imagine my excitement when the gastronomic geniuses over at Heinz announced a new squeezable sauce: Kranch.
The culinary mashup I never knew I needed in my life until now, Kranch combines ketchup with ranch and a blend of spices, making for one mouthwatering hybrid I can't wait to dip everything into - and I mean everything. Heinz's Kranch sauce will begin rolling out in grocery stores around the nation this month, joining the brand's other recent sauce hybrid releases, including Mayochup, Mayomust, and Mayocue.
