Now that May is here, the outdoors finally smell like our favorite spring perfumes (thanks, April showers!), we’ve actually come to terms with humidity-induced frizz and we’re now turning our attention to our new beauty frenemy: the sun. But it doesn’t stop there, because a new month means new beauty products, and along with it, new how-did-I-live-without-it obsessions. Scroll through our handpicked list of 10 must-try beauty products of this month, including the debut nail polish from Olivia Palermo for Caité and much more.

1. The Beauty Crop PBJ Smoothie Stick ($15): When does a smoothie ever *not* sound delicious? An ode to a healthy smoothie fave — the PB+J — this colored lip treatment harnesses both the moisturizing benefits and can’t-beat flavor combo of almond milk and gogi berry.

2. TARTE Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion: ($32 for 1.7 oz): From the fresh ocean lily scent to the cute purple and pink packaging, there’s a lot to love about this daily sunscreen. But what’s inside is even better: the lightweight, chemical-free formula is packed with skin nourishing, toning and age-protecting goodies like red algae and honeysuckle.

3. Lancôme Miracle Cushion Foundation ($47): The latest Korean beauty craze gets a French girl twist in this cushion foundation. The sponge applicator helps deliver a weightless coverage that gives you that covetable dewy finish even when you’re on the go.

4. Urban Decay Ultimate Ozone Multipurpose Primer Pencil ($22): Smudge proof your makeup once and for all with this primer pencil that works on lips, eyes and cheeks to hold color in place, no matter how hot it gets outside.

5. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush ($21): A dewy complexion is never complete without a pinch of color on your face. For glistening, natural-looking color, apply this silky cream blush on your cheeks.

6. Julep Konjac Cleansing Sponge ($12): Step up your skincare routine with this exfoliating sponge made from the fibrous root of the Japanese konjac plant. Enriched with charcoal, this shower mate buffs and clarifies your skin with each gentle scrub.

7. Herbivore Botanicals x UO Coconut Aloe After Sun Body Oil ($28): Give your skin some love once you step out of the sun with this body oil that soothes, moisturizes and cools the skin with the combined powers of aloe vera, pure coconut oil and lavender.

10. Olivia Palermo x Ciaté Nail Polish Collection ($25 each): It’s no surprise Olivia Palermo’s first release as creative director of nail polish brand Caité is totally swoon-worthy. Take your pick from the ladylike palette red, coral and ballerina pink. When the polishes are released later this month, they’ll turn up any outfit just like that. (via Byrdie)

From the ever-popular Bump-It to tasty Lip Smackers, these “wacky” products defined 2000s beauty trends. And while some were total game-changers, others were downright disasters. Despite this, all 10 of these “wacky” beauty products definitely shaped who we are today and inspired our love for all things makeup, hair, skincare, and nails!

Scroll on to see the top 10 beauty products of the 2000s that we loved – and some we can't believe we ever used!

Amazon

1. Hair Bedazzlers

The ultimate way to bling out your look, hair bedazzlers let you snap tiny, sparkly rhinestones into your locks for a very princess-meets-pop-star vibe. Whether you were channeling your inner Britney or just wanted some extra glitz for a girls’ sleepover, this wacky gadget made every strand shimmer.

Amazon

2. Bump-Its

Now this is a classic. Remember those commercials? Nothing screamed "2000s hair" quite like Bump-Its. They were plastic inserts that promised to give your hair (especially your bangs) that effortless poof without endless teasing. We look back at them now and cringe.

Reddit

3. Crackle Nail Polish

We wish this one still existed, TBH. Crackle nail polish was the edgy, rebellious older sister of your regular ol’ nail polish. It created a cool, shattered effect as it dried. Our favorite thing to do was to pick out a silver crackle nail polish to layer over neon pinks or oranges. It’s giving Avril Lavigne energy!

@violentlips

4. Lip Tattoos

Lip gloss, who?! Lip tattoos let you rock everything from pink zebra stripes to a glittery cheetah print on your lips. Why this existed, we don’t know, but they were definitely a fun novelty at the time.

Walmart

5. Makeup “Phones”

Claire’s took so much of our money in the 2000s for these little makeup-packed phones. Beauty met tech (kind of…) with these makeup compacts disguised as flip phones – because what’s more 2000s than touching up your lip gloss while pretending to take a call?

Amazon

6. Bouncy Blush

Not quite a cream, but not quite a powder, bouncy blush was a weirdly satisfying cheek color with a wacky, squishy texture. It made applying blush feel like playing with putty, which made our teenage hearts sing. Half the fun was just poking it in the pan between uses.

Amazon

7. Hair Crimpers

Somehow, hair crimpers snuck their way into 2000s beauty trends, all the way from the ‘80s. They were the go-to styling tool! With just a few squeezes of those zig-zag plates, your hair totally transformed – but if we tried one now, it’d totally make us look like Weird Barbie.

Amazon

8. Lip Smackers

Every 2000s kid had at least five Lip Smackers floating around in their backpack! We were loyal to the classic Dr Pepper, but the brand dropped many more wacky flavors like Coca Cola, Skittles, and Fanta. They truly weren’t just lip balms – they were status symbols at every sleepover and middle school lunch table. Bonus points if you had the jumbo ones.

Amazon

9. Hair Chalk

For those who wanted to be rebels (but didn’t want to totally upset their strict parents), hair chalk was the #1 way to bring bold, colorful streaks to your locks without major consequences. While it did give a cool effect, it really didn’t stay on your strands for very long.

Amazon

10. Sun-In

You were so cool if you brought a bottle of Sun-In to the pool party. This lemon-infused lightening spray was the ultimate DIY highlight hack, but looking back now, all it did was damage our strands. We’ll never forget that smell, either!

10 of Wands & 10 of Pentacles:

The reading emphasizes a theme of completion and abundance. The 10 of Wands suggests that the path to your desired outcome is near, and you must persist through the final push. Giving up now would be detrimental as you are on the verge of achieving your goals. The 10 of Pentacles reinforces this message, indicating abundance in all areas of life: money, time, energy, relationships, and joy. You are nearing the end of a significant phase, described as "the end of the beginning," which will propel you forward. For some, this signifies the culmination of a project or goal, and for others, it's about finalizing the initial steps to ensure a strong foundation for future endeavors. The message is clear: complete what you've started, add the finishing touches, and celebrate your achievements. Don't rush into the next phase until you've fully concluded the current one. Focus on your personal definition of "perfect" and recognize that your own standard is sufficient.

King of Pentacles:

This card highlights themes of integrity, honesty, and truth, with a particular emphasis on discerning information. On a wider scale, it warns against blindly following authority figures, even those you respect. You are urged to conduct your own research, question what you hear, and assess how information directly affects you. There may be deception regarding finances or other matters of material value. Personally, be mindful of white lies and trust your intuition when something feels off. Rely on your own knowledge and wisdom to navigate situations, whether it's in your personal relationships or in understanding broader societal issues. The card encourages you to be discerning, to sift through "smoke and mirrors," and to ensure that you are receiving and sharing honest information.

King of Swords & Five of Cups:

These cards address the challenges of manifestation and maintaining a positive mindset. The King of Swords represents mastery and intuitive action, while the Five of Cups signifies disappointment. The message is to avoid dwelling on what isn't working and instead focus on your accomplishments and what you are grateful for. You may feel discouraged by perceived setbacks, but these are part of the learning process. The King of Swords advises you to tailor your manifestation practices to your own needs and preferences. Take notes on what works and what doesn't, and don't be afraid to adjust your approach. Avoid focusing on negativity, as it can hinder your intuitive connection and pull you away from your path to mastery. Instead, celebrate your small wins, learn from your experiences, and trust in your ability to navigate challenges. The reading emphasizes that you are learning a new skill and should give yourself grace and focus on what you know and what you have.

After spending decades in the entertainment industry, some celebs like Pamela Anderson have opted for a makeup-free look. No one can forget when she stunned photographers right before Paris Fashion Week's Vivienne Westwood show last year by rocking a bare face. She told Vogue France, she wasn't thinking about not "wearing any makeup." However, she didn't want to "compete with the clothes" she was wearing. She felt "freedom" from not trying to "be the prettiest girl in the room" which speaks volumes to us!

Now, Pamela continues to embrace the no-makeup life — and not only does she look gorgeous, but she seems SO happy! The star shared recently how this lifestyle change impacts her day-to-day, and it's honestly incredibly relatable. Here's what she had to say!

Here's what Pamela Anderson just said about adopting a no-makeup life!

1. It saves her a lot of time.

Pamela Anderson stopped by the Live with Kelly and Markshow to talk about filming The Last Showgirl, her childhood, and how not wearing makeup has been beneficial for her. While her makeup-free clip from the episode isn't available on YouTube, PEOPLE reports hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos asking her how her decision has changed her life.

Ripa started with, "You don't travel with a glam squad. How liberating is that for you," while Consuelos followed with, "And how much time have you gotten back?"

The former Baywatch star said she's "saved a lot of time" and admitted that her sons "used to say that I spent half my life in a makeup chair."

2. She feels more focused in general.

Pamela Anderson also admitted things feel easier for her in general. "I feel like I could focus better when I did the film, too." And her life outside of that? She said she's "gotten out of wearing makeup and it's been fun."

It's interesting because Kelly Ripa shared she's been inspired by Pamela Anderson's makeup-free choice. She remembers not wearing makeup for a short while and said to herself, "'Pamela Anderson is a genius." Kelly even thought for a moment, "This is the way to live." We're so here for it!

3. She lives for a glam moment, but appreciates simplicity now.

Pamela's all for being makeup-free now, but she's not bashing glam moments. She actually "loved it" because "it's fun when you're new in the business and you get all this attention." She's just at a point where she's "done that" and wants to "simplify and keep it low key."

She really does "love being elegant, sophisticated" but has found what "works best" for her.

The internet has a lot of thoughts about Rachel Zegler's Snow White costume. After set pictures first leaked on the internet, people had called the live-action adaptation "awkward,""weird looking," and just straight up "bad," but recently, I've seen some questions surrounding the actual construction of the dress we're all so familiar with. And since I'm a costume history nerd, I decided to break it down for you — especially since one addition to Rachel Zegler's outfit is arguably more historically accurate than the cartoon.

Here are some of the details in Rachel Zegler's Snow White costume, explained.

Snow White's costume is inspired by 1500s Germany.

Disney's Snow White has two main influences: the 1930s, when the original cartoon was released, and 1500s Germany, where the story is set. When you look at the film in that context, you can see just how much Snow White's design is influence by both periods, like her short, curly bob, which was very popular among younger girls in the 1930s (hello Shirley Temple!).

However, there's one costume detail that has confused a lot of viewers in the past: Snow White's collar. I'm one of those confused viewers, and remember watching the movie as a child and wondering what the purpose of her collar was! Well, after taking fashion history in college and doing a little bit of research, I've finally got an answer.

@historybylynny The partlet. Fashion accessory from the 25th and 16th century. #renaissancehistory#renaissancefashion#medievalhistory#fashionhistory#history#greenscreen♬ original sound - History By Lynny

Snow White's costume seems to incorporate the classic 16th century partlet, which was a lightweight garment without sleeves that women wore with their bodices. Fashion historians agree that partlets were probably used for both warmth and modesty since dresses were fairly low-cut for the period.

However, you can see that Snow White's doesn't cover her chest at all, so the Disney interpretation really seems to be more of a decoration — just like her puffed sleeves!

And the sleeves in Rachel Zegler's outfit are more historically accurate than the original movie!

It was common during this period for sleeves to feature slashing, "deliberate cutting of fabric for decorative effect" (via FIT), and its miniature version, which was called pinking. And the new Snow White design features something the original doesn't: long sleeves!

Even though some viewers admit they're not a fan of the new sleeves, FIT reports German women preferred "narrow sleeves, often with gaps where their chemises would be puffed out," so it could be argued that the live-action Snow White is more historically accurate than the cartoon. And that's one detail I never expected from this live-action adaptation.

Yay — Olivia Culpo just announced she's pregnant with her first baby! She and her husband Christian McCaffrey have been married for almost a year, so we think the timing's perfect. Like Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson (everyone's fave modern mom and dad), the couple kept their parenting news hidden from the world until they felt ready to share their journey. And boy did they make a grand announcement we can't stop gushing over!

When did Olivia Culpo share her pregnancy announcement?

Today! The model posted beautiful photos of her cradling her baby bump while wearing a flowing, pleated dress. She looks like the picture of perfection in both images, signaling her contentment with carrying her first child. And her caption? It captures a short and sweet look at how she's feeling: "next chapter, motherhood 🤍."

Her sisters, Aurora Culpo and Sophia Culpo quickly left comments that sum up auntie energy. While Aurora said, "😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭im so happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ cant wait to spoil him/her forever!!!!!," Sophia wrote, "Counting down the days!!!!!🥹🥹🥹." 👀

Jessie James Decker even left a congratulatory comment! "Olivia!!!! I am soooo happy for you and @christianmccaffrey 🥹🥹🥹🥹!!! You’re going to be an amazing mama 😍 😍😍😍😍 soooo happy."

We wonder how long they've known Olivia's pregnant 👀.

Did Christian McCaffrey share his own announcement? 

It doesn't look like he personally posted this adorable reel of he and Olivia's baby news, but we still think he deserves a "Husband of the Year" award for letting it be on his Instagram page. We're not setting the bar low; we just think it's admirable when partners are equally excited about expanding their families!

Have Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey shared a due date?

Olivia and Christian haven't shared a due date just yet, but it's highly likely their sweet baby will be born this year!

How long have she and Christian McCaffrey been married? 

Olivia and Christian traded "I Dos" June 29, 2024 according to Vogue. They had a beautiful New England wedding at Ocean house and were surrounded by the love of the people closest to them. Of a funny moment involving Christian during their nuptials, Olivia gushed how much she loved his excitement. "As a bride, there’s no better feeling than your husband not being able to wait a second longer to marry you."

Prior to getting married, the couple's relationship was the result of a "blind date" orchestrated by someone they knew. Olivia said things went so well that they were basically "inseparable" from that point forward!

We can't wait to see if they'll share more news with us so stay tuned for updates!
