It's finally December, which means we can officially talk about the most fabulous part of the festive season: gifting! Amy and Kelly are tackling a huge request: curating the perfect 12-Day Friendship Advent Calendar loaded with must-have minis and budget-friendly luxuries—you need this inspo before you shop!
We also get real about the summer dilemma, because the pressure to fake tan is rising, and they’re sharing the exact people you need to follow online to inspire you to rock your natural skin tone. Plus, Amy and Kelly are revealing their daily holy grail serum and moisturizer routine, detailing the products that keep their complexion flawless through the cold months. Get ready to nail your gifting, your base routine, and feel amazing in your own skin!
This week on the beauty edit, the beauty world is chaotic: Move over, Barbiecore! The beauty edit covers the shift to Elphaba's viral emerald green trend, a huge warning against the dangerous "menstrual masking" fad (yes, putting period blood on your face), and the relaunch of a prestige body care line by the founder of Hourglass Cosmetics.
