If you’re having flashbacks to your high school tadpole brows, fear not! Shaping your eyebrows has evolved past the over-plucking of the early aughts. The once-scary DIY beauty project is easier than you think. We’ve ditched thin and angular for eyebrows that are bolder, freer, and fuller.
If you’ve been on social media in the past five years, aesthetically, it’s clear—the lips have it. In the past, lip injections were often an undiscussed augmentation. (Then again, most aesthetic alterations were hush-hush until the online beauty renaissance.) Now, there’s over 1.6M hashtags on Instagram with tagged photos of lip injections and lip fillers, and Google searches for “lip injections near me” have continued to increase since 2014. People discuss their injectors openly. In short: filler provides major lip service for the non-invasive aesthetics industry.
The year 2020 was particularly trying and interesting for the beauty world as a whole, but it was especially so for our nails. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw closure and timid re-openings of nail salons, an increase in eczema due to preventative handwashing, a call to end nail-biting in fear of contracting the coronavirus, and an uprising of at-home manicure techniques like press-on nails — all in less than one year. Seeing as we’re all in the dark about what 2021 will hold for our “normal lives,” the same can certainly be said for nail trends.
As we emerge from the darkness of winter, the year’s freshest season calls for us to lighten up. “Spring always brings an influx of pastel and bright shades after a season of muted deep tones,” says nail artist and JINsoon Nail Lacquer founder Jinsoon Choi. Known for her runway looks and sleek New York City salons, Choi knows at-home manicures are more popular than ever and encourages people to use this time away from the salon to their advantage.
Listen, I love a bright color on my nails. Neon green? Yes, please. Warm red polish all summer long? You know I’m going there. But honestly, sometimes I just want something that feels a little fancier than my regular color palette. That’s why I’m extremely excited to introduce you to my new favorite nail trend: black and gold nails.
Have you been wearing an old swimsuit for years because you dread shopping for a new one? Come to Lands’ End! We make bathing suits for every body type, and are happy to share insider tips for finding one that fits perfectly.
Always remember that a well-fitting swimsuit feels wonderful – if yours doesn’t, it’s not the right one for you. A suit should never pinch or shift uncomfortably every time you move. It also needs to support your chest without crushing your bosom or letting things sag.
When you’re chilling at the beach, you’ll need something to throw on when you want to grab an iced coffee, browse seaside shops or head to the car. Lands’ End offers almost every kind of swimsuit cover-up imaginable, from warm hoodies to elegant caftans. In fact, you might have a hard time picking just one. But that’s just the thing. Spend top dollar on your gorgeous swimsuit. Buy a few extra swimsuit cover-ups and you have a new beach look. Take a look.
Feeling comfortable and confident while wearing a swimsuit isn’t an easy thing to accomplish. I mean, women who can stroll out onto the beach after age 30 with a devil-may-care attitude are my idols. Once I had my third child, I thought it would be impossible to regain my waterside swagger.
