Lisa Rinna’s Black Satin Tie Front Jumpsuit in Palm Springs

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Episode 12 Fashion

I think we can all agree that there’s no better feeling than finding something cute while shopping on vacay and then wearing it that night like Lisa Rinna did with this black satin tie front jumpsuit in Palm Springs. Well, except for finding something featured on RHOBH months later after it was originally worn and seeing it still in stock.

There’s a reason we follow J.Lo’s ever-changing beauty looks. Although she has the best of the best beauty pros at her service, there’s something relatable and actually do-able about her hair colors and styles, as well as her manicures. You can take inspo from Jennifer Lopez’s nails and actually recreate the looks at home without needing professional nail artist Tom Bachik at your service.

To wit, Bachik posted a new look from his work on Lopez and we’re trying the look—stat. It’s similar to what’s called a “milk bath” manicure, which consists of colorful dried flowers embedded into milky white acrylic nails. It’s named after a bath you would take with creamy soap and flowers floating throughout the water. Lopez doesn’t have flowers in her manicure but the color is still that soft, milky white that feels fresh and seasonless.

Bachik used Bio Seaweed Gel in Be The Light. If you’re not a pro with at-home gels, Essie Nail Polish in Blanc ($7.87 at Amazon) will give you a similar creamy white look. It’s equal parts pretty and badass. It all depends on the styling and the wearer.

J.Lo has been going more natural-looking with her nails as of late, opting for almond-shaped shorter styles.

This is just when Bachik’s other clients, like Selena Gomez and Heidi Klum, are going for brights like green and coral for summer. Leave it to J.Lo to stray from the pack and do her own thing. Hey, at least it’s easier for us to steal her look.

Dorit Kemsley’s Navy Dior Logo Sweater at Her House

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Episode 12 Fashion

Dorit Kemsley definitely decided to go the more casual route (well, for her lol) with the navy Dior logo sweater she wore to the impromptu get-together she meticulously planned just “threw together” on last night’s episode of RHOBH. And if you love the look but not the $2,900 price tag, you my love are going to get a Gucci glass Style Stealer down below.

When I interned in London, I’d go into Boots—aka the U.K.’s version of CVS—and restock beauty essentials. It was a place I went a little too often and spent too much money at. I impulse-bought a lot of make-up there. So when I found out that the in-house Boots skincare line was finally coming to the U.S., I got excited. Before now, you couldn’t get Boots beauty online or in store if you lived stateside.

The no-frills ingredients line just landed at Target on August 10. It’s similar to cult-fave The Ordinary in that they have single-ingredient products. So instead of scrutinizing the back of a moisturizer or serum to figure out exactly what ingredients are hidden in it and if they will clash with what’s already in your morning or evening line-up, these are simple. Hyaluronic acid moisturizer. Vitamin C serum. It’s just right there, so you can figure out exactly what’s missing or needed in your routine.

Boots brought a total of six products across the pond, including a squalene cleanser and retinol. And instead of paying $50+ for a retinol, you’ll pay just under $9. Who said that amazing skincare has to be expensive? Your wallet doesn’t have to hurt whenever you need to re-up a beloved empty. The only downside is that the products don’t have the percentages of the ingredients displayed on the bottles, like The Ordinary does.

This secret is hiding in plain sight. The Boots ingredients skincare line is exclusively to Target, so you can’t find it anywhere else.

Hylauronic acid is everyone’s BFF these days—especially if you want that glazed donut look. This super hydrating moisturizer is designed for every skin type.

Sign me up for this retinol. You can give your skin a much-needed boost for under $9. If you’re introducing retinol into your skincare routine for the first time, we recommend you read this first.

Vitamin C Serum

You don’t have to shell out a lot of money to get a good Vitamin C serum. This option costs less than $10 and gives you all the benefits of its more expensive counterparts.

Squalane Cleanser

You’ve probably heard of plant-derived squalane. It’s one of the best mimics in the game—it acts like your skin’s oils, so it’s not a harsh, irritating face wash. This cleanser is hydrating and gives your that healthy glow.

Niacinamide Serum

This Vitamin B3 serum will help calm redness in skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Make sure to store this serum away from direct sunlight.

Now that we’re knee-deep in summer, one part of your beauty routine is probably pretty high up on your list: your high-visibility hair removal approach. You’ve likely asked yourself, “Should I shave? Wax? Laser off all that pesky hair in my bikini line, underarms and legs?!” If so, welcome to Hair Removal 101.

We all know that keeping our bodies hairless in all the right places isn’t always smooth sailing — all hair removal methods, whether it’s waxing, shaving, or laser has the potential for issues like nicks, bumps, ingrown hairs, and…general discomfort. Let’s take a cursory look at the multitude of removal options, and with them, the different levels of pain, commitment, expense, convenience and perhaps most importantly, longevity.

And as always, remember that how much hair you remove, if at all, is up to you and there’s nothing dirty or unsightly about body hair. It’s normal! It’s natural! So, you do you always. But if you do decide to jump into hair removal, these tips will help.

BELLA VERDE.

Waxing

How It Works: Hot (but not too hot!) wax is applied to the desired area and removed in the opposite direction of the hair growth, pulling hairs out from the root.
Best For: Legs, underarms, and bikini areas, and great for those with coarse, darker hair that tends to be stubborn.
Pros: Temporarily removes hair at the root for an average of three weeks of smooth skin, which can range from two to six weeks depending on your hair type and thickness.
Cons: Waxing requires some regrowth in order to be effective, as the wax needs at least a quarter-inch of stubble to adhere to. Treatments can be moderately painful, as hair is indeed being ripped out at the root, but it becomes more tolerable over time. Waxing can also result in ingrown hairs.
Average Cost: Anywhere from $15-80 for salon waxing, depending on areas waxed and your salon of choice. Or, you can go for at-home options, such as Bella Verde’s Wax Warmer Home Waxing Kit.
Tips: “Don’t drink and wax,” warns Noemi Grupenmager, founder and CEO of Uni K Wax Centers. “Some people come in after consuming alcohol thinking it’ll ease the pain, but alcohol tightens pores, making it much more painful.” Stimulants, like coffee, can also increase sensitivity, so be sure to remember this if you DIY.

Shaving

How It Works: Shaving removes hair from the skin’s surface by cutting it off with a razor.
Best For: Legs, underarms, and those with lighter, finer hair.
Pros: Inexpensive, painless, quick, and easy; and shaving creams used can help moisturize the skin, keeping it soft.
Cons: Regrowth happens quickly, and because hair is cut off at the surface, regrown hair is blunt, not tapered, so it can appear thicker. Razor burn, nicks, and cuts are possibilities, and those who shave regularly can also become prone to ingrown hairs.
Average Cost: Razors and shaving cream can be inexpensively purchased at any grocery or drugstore.
Tips: For those who can’t quit their shaving habit, “growth reduction” products promise to help inhibit hair regrowth, thus reducing the frequency of shaving required.

Completely Bare.

Depilatory Creams

How It Works: Hair removal creams use chemicals to weaken the hair follicle, so you can effectively wipe it away.
Best For: Those who want quick, easy, relatively painless at-home results. Depilatories are most popular for facial hair, bikini lines, and underarms.
Pros: Can be done at home, and removes hair just below the surface of the skin, ensuring slower and less coarse regrowth than shaving.
Cons: Chemicals in these products can irritate sensitive skin, particularly in more delicate areas. These creams are infamous for their odor, and can also lead to ingrown hairs.
Average Cost: Around $6-$12 for a tube of cream or spray-on depilatory lotion.
Tips: Choose a cream suited for the specific area you’re treating—and maybe light some scented candles in the bathroom to mask the strong smell most of these products tend to have. A solid option is Completely Bare’s Easy Off Foaming Hair Removal Spray, which comes in an easy-to-apply foam that washes off in the shower.

Laser Hair Removal

How It Works: Laser penetrates the skin to target the hair shaft and inhibit hair growth. It essentially destroys the follicle, meaning it can achieve permanent removal. Typically, the hair in treated areas falls out within 2-3 weeks.
Best For: People with hair darker than their skin—while professional dermatologists can vary the type of laser used, laser targets the melanin in the hair, so it’s not suited as well for people with dark skin or pale hair. The laser needs to be able to lock on to the dark pigment in order to differentiate the dark hair from the skin.
Pros: Great for long-term hair removal in all areas. “It causes no damage to the dermis, so even the most sensitive skin can be treated,” says New York dermatologist Dr. Ariel Ostad.
Cons: Laser hair removal can be painful, with most people describing it as a “snapping” sensation against the skin, as well as a sensation of heat from the laser. Also, it requires numerous visits to a dermatologist for best results. “It is important to go to a dermatologist who can offer different lasers which are customized to the patient’s skin color and hair color,” says Ostad.
Average Cost: $150 to $500 per treatment, with an average of six sessions recommended, depending on the area being treated. Several cycles of treatment are usually recommended to capture the hair follicles at different stages of the growth cycle. Some people require touch-up treatments to maintain, especially on larger areas.
Tips: While it may seem expensive, in the long run, many consider laser removal to be an investment that can pay off. “It is the most effective and cost-effective treatment, considering how much one can spend over a lifetime with options such as waxing or electrolysis,” says Ostad.

Finishing Touch.

Electrolysis

How It Works: Electrolysis uses a fine, needle-shaped electrode to apply an electrical current to the hair follicle.
Best For: Small areas such as the eyebrows, upper lip, and underarms, as it treats each hair and follicle individually, which is time-consuming and can get expensive.
Pros: Can permanently remove hair and is suitable for very fine and light-colored hair, unlike laser, which works best on darker hair.
Cons: When improperly done, electrolysis can lead to scarring or skin discoloration. Treatments can be uncomfortable and cause a “stinging” or “pricking” sensation, and as with laser hair removal, permanent results require multiple sessions.
Average Cost: Around $25 to $150 an hour.
Tips: Dehydrated follicles can be more difficult to treat, so be sure to drink plenty of water the day before, the day of, and the day after your treatment.
