Non-toxic deodorants are all the rage in the world of underarm care, and for good reason—aluminum-based deodorants might not be the safest formulas to apply to your pits.

The Best Avène Products I Can’t Live Without

This Mandelic Serum Has Completely Changed My Skin
It’s not often that I would ever title an article or a blog post with such a click-baity-sounding headline. The Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum, however, absolutely has changed my skin for the better and deserves recognition. I am shook by how different my skin feels after trying this mandelic serum for the last…
My Paula’s Choice CALM Skincare Review
If you couldn’t tell by my last name (Quinn), I’m as Irish as they get! With an Irish heritage comes very sensitive skin. Having worked as a beauty editor and writer for the last 8ish years, I’ve tried many, many skincare products. Some have been amazing, and most have been irritating as hell—especially those marketed…

The Well Review: Here’s Why You Need to Check Out This NYC Hot Spot
The greatest perk of my job, hands down, is the free spa services I get to experience. I first visited The Well after a brand invited me to get a foot massage and talk about their latest product launch. The foot massage was incredible. Plus, I was able to use the various facilities (like the…
