We're always looking for new beauty products, and while product reviews are nice, we're definitely more willing to try something if it's personally recommended from a friend.

We rounded up the products that the B+C team can't get enough of to give you some serious hair, makeup, and skincare inspo as we head into the second half of summer. From hair care to moisturizers to tried-and-true skincare products, these picks are our ride or dies.

"E.L.F. Wow Brow Gel is one of the first products I apply in the morning to look awake. It gets my brows in line in no time and requires no skill to apply."

Ali Ives, Head Of Content

"I started using the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation after the brand launch, and I will never use another foundation. I think the coverage is amazing given how lightweight it feels, and the color match is the best I've ever had — I don't even have to put it on my whole face!"

Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant

"The Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatmenthas been my go-to for a few years now, and no matter which exfoliants I try, I always come back to it. It is so effective at keeping my skin clear and soft, but it also has a plumping agent that makes my skin look super youthful and hydrated. This product is holy grail status for me!"

Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor

"I'm forever on the hunt for the best brightening products, and I've fallen in love with how Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum has my skin glistening. I highly recommend it if you want to fuel your glow. I feel beamy every time I use it!"

Sophie Meharenna, Brand Marketing

"I love the look of naturally flawless skin, and CC cream has become my holy grail for achieving it without the caked on texture. I love the CC Screen 100% Mineral CC Cream from Supergoop! because it has SPF 50, which keeps my skin well-protected from sun damage and premature signs of aging."

Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead

"The Farmacy Beauty Green Clean is amazing because it can take of ANY makeup with no issue and it smells great! Plus it's a cleanser so you don't have to wash your face again after you use it."

Claire Shadomy, Graphic Designer

"I have dry skin and I live in a dry climate so I need a moisturizing cleanser that can do double duty. The soothing Loli Date Nut Brulee Organic Nourishing Cream is smooth and doesn't leave my skin dry. I also love that the company uses sustainable packaging. Win-win!"

Theresa Gonzalez, Branded Editor

"It took me awhile to come around toIlia's Super Serum Skin Tint because I'm such a Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer stan, but it really does give me a hydrated glow and evens out my skin tone. It's so crucial that my beauty products include SPF as I'm always out in the sun in LA, so I love that this one has SPF 40."

Ali Ives, Head of Content

"I'm a low-coverage foundation kinda gal - I really can't stand anything that makes me feel like I look made up. With so many tinted moisturizers and low-coverage foundations coming out these days, I've tried to branch out - but the Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream from bareMinerals is absolutely the best, hands down."

Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor

"I'm really intentional about removing all of my makeup because of how easily I break out, and the Garnier Micellar Water has been a constant for me since freshman year of college. It gets makeup residue, dirt, and oil that you can't even see out of your pores, and offers some extra hydration without ever causing me skin problems. There are different colors for each bottle's benefits, but I stick with the plain old pink."

Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant

"Independent beauty brands have always held a special place in my heart, especially when their products are this fun! The Innbeauty Project Lightning Bolt Eye Mask is loaded with caffeine (to de-puff), Vitamin C & A (to brighten and reduce dark circles), and hyaluronic acid (to plump & keep skin glowy). Plus, the reusable bright blue bolts make for a great selfie!"

Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead

"I always have CeraVe's mineral sunscreen stick in my bag — its mess-free application is amazing when I'm on-the-go or out walking my dog and need some extra SPF protection on my hands, arms, or face."

Ali Ives, Head Of Content

"Whether I'm on the go or I'm at my desk, I *must* have moisturized lips. I have tons of different lip products but one of my favorites is the Lottie London Oil Slick. It goes on just like a lip gloss, but it's hydrating and smooth instead of tacky the way that lipgloss is. Plus it smells like Lipsmackers so it's nostalgic to boot."

Chloe Williams, Editorial Assistant

"For as long as I can remember, my go-to method of controlling my long, thick hair has been to keep it pin straight, devoid of its natural wave and accompanying frizz. At least until I discovered the wonderful world of hot air brushes! My inexpensive Conair Nano Hot Air Brush has made achieving the Serena van der Woodsen waves of my dreams an (almost) instant reality, and I'll never look back."

Mallory Levy, Social Media Lead

"I am completely in love with the Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Moisturizer. It's both lightweight and hydrating, which is perfect for my normal-type skin that's prone to hormonal acne around my chin and jawline. With a few drops of face oil (I love Herbivore's Orchid Oil) applied on top, it gives me just the right amount of hydration without clogging my pores or feeling heavy."

Maggie McCracken, Senior Editor

This John Masters Organic Cleansing Balm with Kokum Butter & Sea Buckthorn cleanser goes on like butter and smells great. I love using it in winter. I've also used Caudalie as a daily cleanser. It's almond milk-based and a clean beauty product. My mom always instilled in me to take care of my skin - her skin is amazing! We still share beauty product recs.:)

Theresa Gonzalez, Branded Editor

"I love bold babydoll eyelashes and a swipe of Milk KUSH Mascara delivers exactly that. It's truly the thickest, high-volume mascara I think I've ever used."

A new Trader Joe’s skincare find just hit shelves, and beauty fans are already reeling about its similarities to more luxury products! The night cream features a handful of ingredients that are commonly found in pricier skincare options, but this TJ’s pick costs a fraction of its suspected competitors.

As a Versed Sweet Relief overnight cream loyalist (I use it every single day without fail), I must say I'm thoroughly convinced to try this new Trader Joe’s item after reading shoppers’ reactions!

Scroll on to discover the all-new Trader Joe’s skincare product worth adding to your routine!

Reddit

Trader Joe’s Night Cream is a brand-new addition to their collection of skincare goodies. In fact, it’s so new that it’s not listed on their website quite yet. Despite its newcomer status, tons of shoppers are already buzzing about the Trader Joe’s Night Cream.

Reddit

One TJ’s fan on Reddit surfaced the new find on the r/TraderJoe’s subreddit, and skincare lovers were super quick to chime in.

Per the post, the Trader Joe’s Night Cream is formulated with Irish sea moss extract, a fermented mushroom complex, ceramides, and sodium hyaluronate. It’s also unscented, which can be super beneficial for sensitive skin in need of moisture.

The TJ’s fan that found the night cream on shelves reported that it is “very thick but dry at the same time. I really had to work it into the skin,” they said. “Very odd consistency.”

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Another shopper that tried the Trader Joe’s Night Cream weighed in on their experience:

“Using it sparingly since I’m quite pregnant and don’t want to mess with sensitive skin but so far it’s quite nice!” they said. “Thick but not greasy in the slightest. I still feel it on my skin when I rinse my face in the AM which means it held up overnight in my dry altitude climate.”

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Several more users compared this new TJ’s formula to other products on the market, mentioning Asian beauty and even retinol for its anti-aging benefits.

“It’s interesting to see all the fermented ingredients in this!” one person commented. “I know that they have been very popular in Asian skincare for years, but I don’t see it that often in the States. I’m excited to try this! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to be on the lookout now.”

“Based on the ingredients list, I suspect this might be a Korean product,” another TJ’s shopper agreed.

“Irish Sea Moss is considered an excellent retinol alternative so if it agrees with one’s skin, not a bad option for those who can’t tolerate or don’t want harsh actives,” one more skincare fan noted.

MARA Beauty

One Redditor confirmed that a single 2-ounce jar of the Trader Joe’s Night Cream cost just $9. Similar moisturizers that leverage sea moss in their formulas (like Wildling’s Moonbounce 2% Bioretinol Irish Sea Moss Plumping Moisturizer and MARA's SeaDream Algae Crème) average around $73, which is insane.

KoolShooters / PEXELS

This TJ’s find could be a great way to try out the sea moss skincare wave without shelling out a fortune! Per episode 87 of The Inside Trader Joe's Podcast, it’s certifiably “high-quality” and “incredibly functional.”

I've been on the edge of my seat for Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson's Verity (even before I saw It Ends With Us), and after hearing about the first look that aired at CinemaCon this week, the internet is even more locked in on the “gothic, psychosexual thriller” (as the film's described by director Mike Showalter) than they've ever been.

Here's what the Verity cast, including Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, had to say about the new movie from Colleen Hoover.

What is Verity about?

Any Colleen Hoover fan knows the Verity movie revolves around Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), who gets hired by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett) to finish his wife's novels. Renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) is no longer able to write after a tragic accident, but what begins as an exciting project takes a turn for the horrifying when Lowen discovers Verity is hiding a terrible secret.

Anne Hathaway promises 'Verity' is worth "waiting for."

At Amazon MGM's CinemaCon presentation, the Verity cast, Colleen Hoover, and Mike Showalter offered attendees a new look at the movie via video message.

“My character Verity Crawford is an accomplished author with a tragic past,” Anne said, while Dakota joked, “Or is she?”

Josh added, “My character, Jeremy Crawford, is a devoted husband who’s committed to protecting his wife’s legacy.”

“Or is he?” Dakota said again.

“One thing we can say for sure is that seeing Verity in theaters will give fans the shared experience they’ve been waiting for," Anne promised.

And everyone's losing it over the "wild" footage from CinemaCon!

The presentation also included the first trailer for the movie, which showed Verity and Jeremy meeting at a bar — which explains those iconic set leaks of Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnettrunning through the streets of New York! And when Jeremy's introduced to Lowen and brings her to their giant home, he tells her "she's the only writer who can do this"...and then they begin their own illicit affair. And as they have a hot make out sesh on the couch, Lowen realizes she's kissing Verity and not Jeremy. Wow.

"Just saw the first footage for VERITY starring Josh Hartnett, Anne Hathaway, and Dakota Johnson," @JoeySpielberg says on X. It looks like it’s gonna be good but I honestly couldn’t tell you the plot is but it’s definitely gonna be wild. Seems like a movie you just don’t know what happens next."

"The footage showcases a sexy, mind-bending thriller," @howatdk agrees.

We're sure to see many more shocks and surprises when Verity hits theaters May 15, 2026.

Check out the 10 Most-Anticipated Book-To-Film Adaptations We Can't Wait To See In 2025.

Though plenty of beauty trends have come and gone, there are still a handful of makeup products that have stood the test of time. Though you might think these powders, foundations, lipsticks, and more lean pretty“old school,” tons of beauty fans still adore them for their ability to deliver the most stunning looks.

You might just want to give these classic makeup products a second chance after reading what makeup lovers say about their staying power!

Read on for 7 “old school” makeup products that are still total staples in today’s age.

Amazon

1. Airspun Loose Powder

I remember this loose powder being one of the very first makeup products I ever tried after seeing it in my mom's makeup kit. It's super nostalgic for many other beauty fans – and no wonder, because it first launched in 1935!

Formulated to have a "cloudlike softness" to it, this powder is ideal for setting foundation and concealer so your base stays in place.

Amazon

“I used Coty Airspun loose powder for years," one Redditor wrote about it. "I don't use powder anymore, but I still take a fond look at it in the makeup aisle. The packaging is so retro and pretty. It always made me feel very 1950's movie star.”

I will say that the main disconnect between this "old school" makeup product and today's beauty trends is that more and more brands tend to lean toward dewy, natural finishes rather than fully matte ones – this powder definitely delivers on the latter.

Amazon

2. L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara

This mascara launched in 1990 and it was quick to become a favorite amongst beauty fans looking for long, full lashes. Claiming to give lashes the appearance of 5 times their natural thickness, this formula goes on super easy, thanks to the streamlined wand design.

Amazon

This mascara has proved itself a mainstay in many makeup bags, and since its launch, L'Oreal's launched several different colors to play with. I myself am especially fond of the blue and purple mascaras if I just want to get a little playful with my makeup!

"I have tried other mascaras in the past but I find this one is the best for me. I have been using it for years," one reviewer wrote on Amazon. "I now find it difficult to to buy at the drug stores so I order it through Amazon. It goes on easily, dries quickly and does not flake. I wear the burgundy because I have green eyes."

Amazon

3. Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick

You probably recognized this one super quick. Clinique's Almost Lipstick in the shade Black Honey is renowned since it's said to be universally flattering and totally nails the natural look! Though it first hit the market in 1989, it's had an undeniable resurgence in the past couple years, further proving its iconic status.

Amazon

“My grandmother took me to a Clinique counter when I was 13 and bought me a lipstick and some eyeshadow. I used them until they were gone," one Redditor reminisced. "The only Clinique item I've used since then is Black Honey, which is in my bathroom today.”

Ulta

4. Benetint Liquid Lip & Cheek Stain

This beloved Benefit product hit shelves back in 1976, though it wasn't originally intended for use on the lips and cheeks. 👀 Benefit revealed that it was actually formulated for exotic dancers to use on their nipples to make them stand out!

Ulta

Since its introduction, it's been a great pick to reach for to add a natural flush to the cheeks and make the lips a bit bolder. Benefit's launched several different shades over the years to join the OG "rose" one.

Amazon

5. Max Factor Panstik Foundation

This "old school" makeup product was one of the first foundations that came in a convenient stick form. It launched in 1947, but you can still find it today! This creamy product is noticeably full-coverage and leaves a silky-matte finish once it's applied. A little truly goes a long way.

“I grew up in the 90s and remember using the Max Factor Panstik makeup. I can still remember the scent," one Redditor wrote. "It was a really great product for its time and I used it like a concealer.”

“I have this! What I like about it is it’s quick to apply when I don’t have the energy for liquid concealers," another Reddit user said. "The colour range isn’t impressive though.”

Amazon

6. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Hitting the market back in 1957, it didn't take long for the Lustrous Lipstick from Revlon to become a cult classic. Many shades that the company developed in the latter half of the 20th century are still around today – several makeup fans on Reddit mentioned shades like Cherries In The Snow, Toast Of New York, Wine With Everything, Fire And Ice, and Sandalwood Beige are still their absolute favorites!

"Fire And Ice is one of my favourite lipsticks. It’s a wonderful bright corally red/pink..." one Redditor said. "It dates from the 50s. It’s quite nice to think I’m wearing the same colour as girls who were listening to Elvis.”

Amazon

7. C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve

This might just be the most old school of all the "old school" makeup products mentioned here. This rosy skin salve was introduced way back in 1838 to heal dry, cracked skin in need of hydration – lips, face, hands, and body included. It's crafted the same way it was back in the 1800's, with rose extract to calm irritation, and lanolin, cotton seed, and jojoba oil to moisturize. The company also sells lavender, mint, and vanilla varieties in addition to the OG rose.

Amazon

"I've been using C.O. Bigelow lavender salve for years and still love it. I rub it into my cuticles in the winter, spread the excess around my hands and top it with a layer of hand cream to seal it in," one Amazon reviewer wrote. "It works great to keep my skin from drying out and cracking and the lavender scent smells natural and not fake."

"Love this product! Worth every penny," another Amazon user said. "Use it on my lips, face and hands. Softens and is non greasy. My all time favorite product in my beauty stash!"

Jenna Bush Hager chose Holly Gramazio's The Husbands as her book club's April pick in 2024 and it became an instant bestseller. Evidently, Apple TV took notice and decided it would be an excellent idea to adapt it into a new drama series! We're fond of adaptations here, so we're elated to this fresh storyline come to life. But, guess what else we're intrigued about?

The Husbands series has already found it's lead star in Ted Lasso and Fargo actress Juno Temple! Her characters are fan favorites, so we're sure she's going to do her lead role in this series justice.

Scroll to learn more exhilarating news about The Husbands series!

What is 'The Husbands' about?

Amazon

The Husbands chronicles one woman's journey as she explores an ever-changing life with different men she's never met before. But this isn't a tale of reckless one-night stands. On the contrary, Lauren will be as confused as readers and viewers because she's not sure what's happening.

It all begins with her return to her home and the realization that a man who's strangely familiar with her is calling himself her husband. Unbeknownst to her, she's been married to Michael for a while despite not knowing who he is. What's even more ironic is that her friends think something's wrong with her because they know who her husband is.

In the midst of trying to decipher this phenomenon, Lauren's shocked when Michael disappears into the attic and a new man returns in his place. As she watches her surroundings change to accommodate life with him, Lauren slowly realizes her attic has created a portal that allows her to live out different fantasies with a revolving door of men. But, she'll have to ask herself what she really wants and if she's willing to hang on to one reality instead of wishing for more.

Has more cast information been released?

Diana Patient

Holly Gramazio, Author of The Husbands

We know Juno Temple will star in The Husbands, but there haven't been more cast announcements just yet (via Variety). There's so many options for the many spouses she could have which makes us want to dream about our own casting wishlist.

Who's the executive producers of the series?

Diana Patient

Holly Gramazio, Author Of The Husbands

According to Apple TV+, writer Miriam Battye (Succession) will be executive producing The Husbands with Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya), and Annie Marter of Fortunate Jack Productions (The Devil All The Time), author Holly Gramazio and A24.

We love when authors are allowed to give their input in TV or film adaptations!

When will 'The Husbands' premiere on Apple TV? 

Production hasn't started on The Husbands TV series yet, but we'll share more information once it's available!
