Selena Gomez x Allure

While the pandemic has proven to be much more challenging on all of our lives, it’s amazing to see how people persevere when they don’t always have their normal resources. For one, editorials and magazine shoots are at is most innovative. In the latest issue of Allure, Selena Gomez is responsible for all of her own makeup. It doesn’t hurt that she’s also promoting her new cosmetics line, Rare Beauty, so she’s no rookie here. Given the circumstances, everything is getting done with a smaller team and smaller production. It just goes to show what we can accomplish when we’re constrained! We love this entire look though. For the full interview, you can read the cover story at [Allure].

This is my favorite shot.

Hot Topic x Polly Pocket

If you would’ve told child me that Hot Topic and Polly Pocket would one day join forces, I would not have believed you. But I’m completely wrong because that time has come. And honestly, I don’t recognize it! Hot Topic is the epitome of a mall retail store. It was known for its dark hues and atmosphere while Polly Pocket could not have been more opposite in its representation. I could’ve never imagined this collaboration initially, but now it’s starting to make more sense – a dark world and a more light hearted one together for the ultimate child’s play.

I will say though, I don’t recognize this 2019 Polly Pocket collection. Why is everything so flat? I likely shouldn’t judge this until I’ve seen the entire 17-piece collection which was released January 16th in stores and online. The collection is more accessories than beauty, but we’re definitely all for it.

Can’t we all be a little bit more like her?
