Millie Bobby Brown is a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, but she’s way more than Eleven in Stranger Things or the lead in Enola Holmes. Although she’s just 17 years old, there’s so much more than meets the eye. Like the fact that she runs her own beauty brand, florence by mills—which, by the way, recently expanded into hair care. There aren’t many under-18-year-olds who are doing what Brown does, and she does it well. 

Not every great idea hatches from a golden egg. Actually, Brown got the idea to start florence by mills while simply doing her makeup on a flight. “At the time, I wasn’t happy with my makeup, or my skincare really, because a lot of the benefits that I was seeing were for anti-aging, which someone at my age doesn’t really need to be concerned with,” she tells STYLECASTER. And it’s true—skin feels and functions differently depending on your age. Someone with mature skin is going to need completely different beauty products from someone who’s still in their teens.

Brown knew that she wasn’t alone in her ongoing search for thoughtfully-formulated products aimed at a younger audience. “I wanted to make products for my generation, that make us look good and feel good, and let us just be ourselves,” the actress adds.

But after conquering the skincare and makeup space, Brown wanted to enter the realm of hair care. It makes complete sense, because after you walk through your skincare and makeup routine, your hair still needs some TLC. This was especially important for the Stranger Things actress, since she frequently gets her hair done for the camera. And, let’s not forget when Brown shaved her head to play Eleven! She explained how she felt “so empowered” after taking that huge leap and learned to embrace herself without her long locks.

“Now that I don’t have a buzz cut anymore, I really just love to experiment with it where I can, but overall I just want my hair to be healthy, which is why we launched the two new haircare products,” she says. Brown strives to create hair products that anyone and everyone can use within their own home, which is why her brand created a hair mask and detangling spray.

As if skincare, makeup, and hair care wasn’t enough for a working 17-year-old actress, Brown has more in store for 2022. Though she couldn’t spill all of the tea, she did let us in on some of her plans for the future. “Well, my eighteenth birthday is next year. I can’t reveal too much yet, but you can expect something fun around that time,” she reveals. “Next year, we’ll also be expanding in our existing categories, skincare and makeup, so there are lots of exciting things just around the corner.” 

And with that, for what we’ve all been waiting to hear about, the actress’ nine tried and true, ride-or-die florence by mills products.

Mane Character Vibes Hydrating Hair Mask

“The Mane Character Vibes Hydrating Hair Mask is so good for preventing dryness, frizz and brittle hair,” says Brown. It blends watermelon seed, linseed, and rice bran oils to condition, smooth, and hydrate the hair.

No Drama Hair Detangling Spray

“I love the No Drama Hair Detangling Spray to protect against damaging heat styling and breakage,” she says. If you get your hair done as often as Brown, you’ll understand the struggle with maintaining healthy hair. This spray will be your knight in shining armor thanks to its inclusion of jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, and hydrolyzed wheat and pea proteins.

Swimming Under the Eyes Gel Pads

As for what Brown uses on set, she tells STYLECASTER, “When I’m prepping my skin, I like to use Swimming Under the Eyes Gel Pads to get rid of any puffiness and wake my skin up. It’s my absolute favorite, especially when I have early call times!” With hyaluronic acid in the formula, the pads are like a tall glass of water for your under-eyes, which we definitely could all use in the morning.

Zero Chill Makeup Setting Spray

After all of her makeup is done on set, the actress reaches for the Zero Chill Makeup Setting Spray. “It really helps to keep my makeup in place and it also protects against blue light,” she says. People of all ages could seriously benefit from shielding their faces from harmful blue light. This setting spray uses plankton extract to get the job done.

Oh Whale! Lip Balm

When it comes to florence by mills formulas that she absolutely must have in her bag 24/7, you’ll find lip products. She carries the Oh Whale! Lip Balm everywhere she goes because of its hydrating properties. Our hats go off to the argan oil, avocado oil, and shea butter in the formula. They work together to really lock in moisture and nourish the lips.

Get Glossed Lip Gloss

Another handbag must-have, Get Glossed Lip Gloss adds a touch of shine to her lips. It not only gives your lips a beautiful tint, it also leaves them silky smooth thanks to the castor seed oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. Pick your player from the five stunning shades.

See You Never Concealer

When the actress is rushing out the door, she whips out the See You Never Concealer. She says it helps to even out her skin tone, but the metal applicator also gives you such a good cooling sensation. Mixed with the caffeine in the formula, your skin and under-eyes will look and feel super refreshed for the day ahead.

What’s My Line? Longwear Eyeliner

The What’s My Line? Longwear Eyeliner is another must-have for Brown when she doesn’t have much time to do a full face of makeup. She loves how it adds a quick pop of color to her eyes. And with one of the five vivid colors that stay put for up to 12 hours, we don’t doubt it.

Cheek Me Later Cream Blush

Blush is essential even when you’re short on time. Brown dabs a bit of the Cheek Me Later Cream Blush because the formula is easy to blend in with her fingers. And the color won’t budge thanks to oil-absorbing kaolin clay.

Cold weather is on the way, and the holidays are nearing. Many of us are creating lists of projects we hope to accomplish while we stay inside during the coming months. One task that always seems to be on that list is creating a photo book.

Creating a photo book can seem like a daunting task, but it’s so gratifying to make a unique gift that enables you and those you love to turn the pages and relive these special moments in time.

The ability to take photos with ease using our mobile phones has resulted in more digital memories than ever before, yet they often become lost and eventually forgotten. You can enjoy and share those memories again and again in a beautiful photo book by using a bit of preparation and planning.

You can create a memorable photo book in just a few simple steps!

Define the Scope

It is incredibly overwhelming, and unrealistic, to create a photo book that includes your entire collection of photos. Take a moment to define the scope of your photo book based on a specific period of time or significant event:

• A trip with friends or a family reunion both have a defined period of time and central focus.
• You may choose to create a treasured anthology of an entire year, which has a compilation of events, but is limited by a time frame.
• Do you have a person you want to honor or memorialize? Are you hoping to send a photo album off to college with your graduating senior? You may want to create a Celebration of Life book for a high school graduate that spans the first 18 years of his or her life, or summarize 90 years of memories for a parent’s milestone birthday.

Setting a clear vision of your finished project will keep you inspired and on track as you can ignore or eliminate photos that aren’t within the parameters you created.

Plan the Layout

This step is not meant to be a page-by-page plan, but rather a general blueprint, which will make the next step of selecting photos much easier.

Start by deciding the number of pages you will have in your book. Each company provides parameters for different photo book sizes and styles. Once you’ve determined how many pages you will have in your book, you will create categories that will be divided amongst the pages.

Let’s look at an example of planning a layout for a book featuring a trip to Italy you and your friends took last year. You have decided the book will be about 80 pages. Categories can be created based on your trip itinerary. For example, if you were in Italy for 10 days, you can group each day into 8 pages.

You can also increase the spread count to document busier days, and decrease it on days you spent relaxing and took less photos. Some additional categories to consider:

• Months or seasons for an annual book
• Decades for a milestone birthday
• Cities visited for a long trip

Select the Photos

Allow yourself to take a walk down memory lane as you choose which photos you want to bring into print. It’s best to select the photos you will be using before designing the book.

Create a folder on your computer with the date and name of the photo book you are compiling to stay organized. Drag and drop to this folder copies of the photos you think you want to include. You can also create sub-folders for categories created in the previous step. Leave the original photos in your organized collection.

As you’re looking through your photos, allow yourself to be transported back to these fond memories. Challenge yourself to spend only a few seconds on each photo to determine whether or not you want to include it in the book.

Focus on selecting shots that are going to tell the story rather than giving into the need to include every single photo. Remember that the scenery itself is far less important long-term than the people with whom you were enjoying those sights.

Design the Book

You can purchase software that specializes in photo book design, but most online photo book companies offer a free, online design tool that is easy to use. Using the layout you determined earlier, drop your selected photos onto the digital pages.

Resist the temptation to select layouts or add design until you’ve dropped all of your photos onto the pages as you may realize that you want to modify your initial plan.

Once you’ve placed all of the photos, you can design your book. Less is more when it comes to layout and text. Including text will help to document a funny or meaningful moment or the name of a specific place you visited.

Keep your layouts simple and limit clipart or other design elements. This will reduce the amount of time you spend on the project and will allow those looking through your book to enjoy the story without distraction.

Order and Enjoy

Put some thought into what book size will fit in your home where you plan to store it. Is this a gift? Will young children be looking through the pages? Your answers will guide your purchasing decisions.

My goal for you is to get the book created so that you can enjoy the memories! Still not sure you want to take on this project yourself? Consider hiring a Professional Photo Organizer who can help you through all of the organization, planning, and design steps.

I write a lot about various celebrities’ favorite beauty products, whether they’re the ones they actually use or ones they get paid to shell. Never did I think I’d be writing about a nine-year-old’s go-to products but Penelope Disick’s TikTok is chock full of gems. The daughter of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick has been posting to TikTok the past few weeks, under a new account apparently managed by “two adults.” While I’m sure Mom looks at what she’s posting to ensure safety, it’s obvious P is the mastermind behind the videos and let me tell you, girl’s got talent.

My old millennial brain can just barely make TikTok videos and they take me a lot longer than they should. Penelope on the other hand easily goes from lip-synching an Eminem song from before she was born to showing what she packs for vacation with the family. It looks as if she has been picking up pointers from her mom and aunts when she shows the packaging and then the satisfying inside of a body scrub or face wash.

In a series of videos, Penelope shows off her favorite Kylie Skin and Kylie Cosmetics products — she obviously has the hookup. She doesn’t just use her family’s brands, though. She’s got some Honest Beauty and Le Lebo in there, too. Girl’s got taste. Influencers and brands jumped into the comments to remark that “she’s so good at this” and “kylie got all them in on it, genius.” Others think there’s no way Penelope is showing off these products. She’s nine years old and the nail extensions are a bit mature. But there’s another video where Penelope shows herself getting these exact nails so they’re definitely her hands.

Curious what products Penelope loves to show to her (and her mom’s) 2.3 million followers? I rounded them all up for you (minus a few that sold out), below.

Penelope needs this makeup-removing face wash after she gets into Aunt Kim’s makeup stash.

Honest Beauty.

Honest Beauty Organic Beauty Facial Oil

This gentle face oil contains avocado, apricot and jojoba oils.

P has fancy taste when it comes to hand soap. Le Lebo’s features a plant-based formula made with sea buckthorn and rosemary leaf.

Heritage.

This affordable rose water spray is a favorite for all-day skin refreshing.

Le Labo.

Le Labo Santal 26 Set of 3 Concrete Votives

KKW Fragrance.

KKW Fragrance Crystal Gardenia

It looks like Penelope favors Aunt Kim’s fresh, white floral scent.
