The Ultimate Guide to Organizing Your Beauty Products
Ugh, spring cleaning. That about sums up our sentiment toward a seasonally specific mandate to go through all the stuff that’s been collecting dust since the last time you swore you’d get rid of it (a.k.a. January 1). And when you’re a beauty editor, all that stuff quadruples: Night creams magically find a home in your desk drawer, lipsticks take up most of the real estate on your vanity, and sheet masks take the place of actual documents in your filing cabinets. (Hard life, we know.) We called upon Homepolish, a company of by-the-hour interior designers who are basically small-space masters, to help us organize our beauty products, among other things.

6 Cool Ways to Wear Your Scarf This Spring
Spring might as well be deemed the season of jeans and a white tee. But when your go-to uniform starts to feel tired, take a note from Olivia Palermo’s playbook and put a scarf on it. And no, we don’t just mean the stale infinity iterations of seasons past. This spring, opt for a long, skinny version that takes the place of a necklace, or try a silky neckerchief that’ll become part of your outfit rather than a layer you strip off once you’re inside.

14 Times Amandla Stenberg Was the Definition of Hair Goals
You probably know activist and actress Amandla Stenberg from her breakout role in The Hunger Games—but Kylie Jenner knows her as the person who called her out for appropriating another culture’s hair. Stenberg hasn’t shied away from speaking out about the importance of hair in black culture, and her “Don’t Cash Crop My Cornrows” video, a crash course on the subject, went viral last year. But Stenberg’s wise-beyond-her-years words aren’t the only inspiring thing about her; on the beauty front, her rotation of hairstyles constantly surprises us and leaves us in awe.

This Amazing ’90s Trend Is Back: Here’s How to Pull It Off
For a child of the ’90s, there’s nothing more nostalgic than the revival of one of the decade’s vampiest trends: chokers. No, we don’t mean the netted plastic iterations of vending machines past.
