Way back in 2017, our beauty editor Beth Wischnia tried the Berrisom lip tints— which we still totally recommend, by the way —and we immediately fell in love! Lip tints are an easy way to get lip color that will last all day (and night) long. With all the recent advances in beauty formulas, ingredient lists, and technology, we scoured the world wide web for a few of the latest and greatest lip tints. Before your next trip to Ulta, read on for some recommendations.
Wonder Blading Peel & Reveal Lip Tint ($24)
Not only does this waterproof lipstick come in 12 shades but it also won an Allure Beauty Award in 2020. The formula is vegan, bold, and won't fade or dry your lips out. Count us in.
Benefit Lip Blush & Cheek Tint
We love that this non-drying formula is also smudge-proof. Use a little bit on your lips *and* your cheese for a rosy look à la Euphoria.
ColourPop Sun Kiss Lip Stain ($8)
If you love gloss, try this formula that features ingredients like Guava and Lychee extracts.
Tattoo Magic Color Peel Off Lip Tint ($9)
Spread this gloss over your lips, wait at least five minutes, then remove. Easy as pie!

This story has been updated. Additional reporting by Chloe Williams.Only two states in the United States don't observe daylight saving time, observing standard time year-round: Arizona and Hawaii. After all, they argue, these states already get plenty of sun. The other 48 states – AKA the rest of us – will spring forward our clocks by one hour on Sunday, March 9, at least for now. It's been reported that it's on the table for abolishing. While it's my favorite time of year (who doesn't love the longer days?), it comes with some not so good health news. Let's get into what you can expect this daylight saving time!
Here are 12 wacky facts you may not know about daylight saving time.
1. Most of us are saying it wrong.
The correct term is actually "daylight saving time" — singular, not plural. Despite common usage, "saving" is used as an adjective describing the act of conserving daylight, not a plural noun.

2. The time change has been linked to more hospital visits.
The American Heart Association found that the time change showed an increase in cases of heart attack and stroke. A scientific study found a rise in cases of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a condition that resulted in irregular heartbeats with symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, and fatigue. The increase was more prevalent among women and occurred only during the spring daylight saving time shift, not with the fall clock change.

3. There are more car accidents during this time.
Losing an hour of sleep can also impact your road safety. A study found that the spring daylight saving time transition increases the risk of fatal traffic accidents in the U.S. by 6 percent.
4. DST can increase your cortisol and stress levels.
Losing sleep and disrupting your body’s natural rhythm can do more than just leave you feeling groggy — it can actually spike your cortisol levels, the hormone linked to stress. Research shows that sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment can trigger an increase in cortisol, along with inflammatory markers and cytokine imbalances. Since cortisol and inflammatory proteins are released in response to stress, chronic elevations could contribute to long-term health issues.

5. We're at higher risk of depression.
Many people report mood disturbances during this time, but for those with bipolar disorder, the effects can be particularly destabilizing. For instance, a 2020 study found that the change impacts mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. An Australian study revealed a significant increase in male suicide rates in the weeks following the start of daylight saving time, compared to both the weeks after the return to standard time and the rest of the year.
6. Benjamin Franklin first suggested the concept.
He didn’t technically invent daylight saving time (as some have reported), but he did conceive the idea a century before it was credited to George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand artist who formally proposed it in an 1895 paper. Benjamin Franklin observed that if people in France adjusted their schedules to sleep when it was dark and wake with the sunrise, they could save hundreds of francs on candles — making artificial lighting less necessary.
7. There's already buzz to make DST permanent.
The Sunshine Protection Act is a proposed U.S. law aiming to make daylight saving time permanent, eliminating the need to change clocks twice a year.
8. Farmers actually fought against it.
Contrary to popular belief, farmers have never supported daylight saving time. In fact, they opposed its implementation and, in 1919, an agricultural lobby even pushed for its repeal.
9. We may actually consume more energy because of it.
While many believe daylight saving time conserves energy, research suggests it may actually do the opposite. A University of California-Santa Barbara study indicated that daylight saving time might increase consumption. A 2017 study in the International Association for Energy Economics Journal further supports this idea, noting that longer daylight hours can lead to more air conditioning in summer and heating in cooler months.
10. Daylight saving time was extended in 2007.
First started in Germany, the U.S. adopted daylight saving time in 1918 and standardized it across the country with the passage of the 1966 Uniform Time Act, which gave the federal government oversight over the time change. It originally called for the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. President George W. Bush’s Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended it from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, starting in 2007.
11. About 70 countries observe daylight saving time.
Countries like Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and those in the European Union observe daylight saving time either nationwide or in select regions. Meanwhile, most African and Asian nations — including India, China, and Japan — opt out of the time change entirely.
12. You can beat the clock.
Despite the health risks and safety concerns of daylight saving time, you can take steps to combat fatigue and adjust within a week. Here are B+C's 5 Best Ways to Beat Daylight Saving Time Fatigue.

Over the years, I’ve tried more than a few ways to create a flawless cat eye. I took a stab at freehanding it (which works approximately never for me), used a stencil, tried a specifically designed tool, or even broke out the trusty credit card trick, which became my go-to. Lining up the edges of the card with the tail of my brow and the outer corner of my eye makes it relatively easy to trace a clean cat eye line, but it’s also inconvenient. I mean, who wants to keep their credit card at the ready when doing makeup?
I have dreamed of a product that was designed for this purpose and could fit right in my makeup bag. When I got my hands on the e.l.f. Line & Define Eye Tape ($2), I realized that my dreams were answered and became pretty quickly obsessed after the first use. I’d tried the tape hack before — and it works — but removing the tape was always painful and required an immediate touch-up. This tape, however, was created to hack the cat eye and peel off gently without any irritation.
The pre-sized tape works best, in my opinion, when used with a liquid eyeliner (versus a gel) because it’s easier to line up against the tape. After aligning it with the outer corner of my eye and the end of my brow, I draw a short line, tapering the tip so it thins out at the end. I let it dry as I repeat on the other eye. As promised, I was able to peel off the tape without any uncomfortable tugging or pulling. I’m left with the cat eye of my dreams: a sharp, smooth, defined line that’s perfectly even on both sides. Finally.

Liner Revival
The lip liner trend for spring 2025 embraces bold definition with a fresh, modern twist. This season, it's about pairing rosy nudes with soft, lighter lip colors and rich, warm tones with deep browns and cherry reds for a sculpted, high-impact look. City Lips Defining Liner is our favorite new lip liner. It prevents color fading, smudging, and feathering, so you can keep your look intact all day or night! It’s available in two pretty shades: Blush, a soft, rosy nude that pairs beautifully with pink hues and lighter lip colors, and Willow, a rich, warm-toned nude that complements brown tones and deeper shades.

Multitasking Makeup
The trend toward skincare-infused makeup is making your beauty routine work harder with nourishing ingredients. City Lips Defining Liner features vitamin E, helping to keep the lip line smooth while subtly enhancing its shape for a fuller, more defined look. For the ultimate plump and polish, pair the pigmented liner with City Lips Plumping Gloss — a duo that gives you a naturally voluminous pout, plus extra hydration.

Pastel Pop
From butter yellow to sage green, this season’s nail trends are embracing soft, yet statement-making hues that bring a fresh pop of color. Alongside these chic shades, almond-shaped nails are offering a sleek, elegant look that flatters your mani aesthetic.

'90s Nostalgia
A softer, smudged take on the classic cat-eye is making waves, with eyeliner staging a bold comeback in full, effortless sweeps. Blue eyeshadow is also back and better. Expect a nod to cool-toned, ’90s grunge eyes, a trend that lends itself to easy, minimalist lines, like a single, clean swipe of liner, proving that less can truly be more.

Lobs, Bobs & Natural Manes
Haircut season is in full swing, and lighter, fuss-free bobs at all above-shoulder lengths, plus natural curls, are making their way in and out of salons for spring. We couldn't be happier for the low-maintenance 'dos!

Satin Skin
This understated look highlights healthy, natural skin with a soft-matte finish — radiant, yet never flat or overly glossy.
City Beauty
Glossy lips, instead, shine this season. Upgrade your lip routine this spring with City Beauty’s new City Lips Defining Liner and lip glosses for a refreshed look.
