Indulgent Self-Care Nights Are My Secret Talent—Here Are the Items I Swear By
I'll be honest—my collection of candles, bath salts, body elixirs, and masks of all varieties has been exercised at an unparalleled level this year. Stress and anxiety are at a universal high, and relaxing into a tension-releasing bubble bath surrounded by flickering candlelight and fragrant notes of violet or jasmine is not to be underestimated. I'm a huge proponent of self-care, and taking moments to sit and relish stillness is what gives us the energy to push and perform through the tricky and important stuff.
As a bath-, body-, and skincare-enthusiastic beauty editor, you can only imagine the copious amounts of products I've tried and worked my way through this year, but trust me when I say some have been far superior to others—and, unfortunately, significantly more expensive. In case you missed it, Sephora's annual Holiday Savings Event is officially in full swing, so I'm taking the opportunity to stock up on some of my most prized self-care possessions in addition to recommending all of said favorites to you.
As with all of Sephora's Beauty Insider Events, there are three different tiers to the savings opportunities. (And if you're not already a Beauty Insider, you can join for free right here!) Rouge members will receive 20% off from October 30 to November 9, VIB members will receive 15% off from November 3 to November 9, and Insiders will receive 10% off from November 5 to November 9. Simply enter HOLIDAYFUN at checkout, and you'll be set to live out your most indulgent self-care dreams (wherever the Sephora shopping winds decide to take you). Keep scrolling! My relaxation-time necessities are just below.
This clean, vegan candle melts away stress with a lush blend of alpine violet, iris woods, and midnight jasmine.Your daily reminder courtesy of Tom Ford and his most iconic scent. An orange bitters–inspired candle? The ultimate cocktail pairing. The most detoxifying antidote when your muscles have officially turned to knots.Refill your prescription with these cheeky, jasmine- and rose-scented bath bombs.Trust me. This frankincense-, chia seed oil–, and Himalayan pink salt–studded bath soak is even better than (or, at least, the next best thing to) an actual martini. (Though, I highly recommend opting for both simultaneously if you're into that kind of thing.)Rare Mirsalehi honey is the key—it will make your hair bounce and gleam.This need-to-have hair butter is the ultimate pick-me-up for curls dealing with burnout.Shampoo your hair, saturate your strands with this mask, wrap them in a towel, and steam, baby, steam.The MVP for that inevitable moment when blonde hair goes brassy. This hydrating botanical matrix of aloe vera, rose, hollyhock, and sodium hyaluronate recharges lackluster skin with moisture and nutrition.Melatonin and bakuchiol (nature's natural version of retinol) lull your skin into glowy, good behavior pre-bedtime. A puff- and dark circle–poofing overnight eye mask that leaves under eyes dewy and revitalized come morning. (If you love Laneige's cult-loved Lip Sleeping Mask, $22, you definitely need this in your life!) The scent and results are both intoxicating, so everyone deserves at least one skin-firming elixir from Sol de Janeiro in their life. Right now, I'm on this bump-busting scrub.Steeped in CBD, this is the richest and most decadent thing you can treat parched skin to this winter—your skin will glisten with long-lasting hydration.Practical magic—a crème de la crème balm that instantly melts into your skin upon contact for a hint of shine and velvet-to-the-touch finish. (It's expensive but worth it.)My top recommendation if you want to smell like a million bucks (literally) but aren't one for slick or overly glossy residue on your limbs or strands.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
