Data from Spate shows that beauty's top 10 brands by TikTok views growth during the first quarter of 2026 were catalyzed almost entirely by paid content rather than organic virality.

After a bumpy first couple of weeks, which shamefully involved a few tears on a rowing machine, I began to hit my stride.

I got fired, which is a good thing. And I didn't know what I was going to do. It was the first time in so many years.

My sh*t was chopped suey. There was the at-home bleaching in my early 20s, then the breakage, and finally returning to the recipes I grew up with.

Imagination, the ability that allows us to mentally represent things that are not directly perceived by our senses, is on the decline. It's one of the effects that new technologies have had on our minds, and public discourse appears to have all but forgotten it as a key cognitive resource.

Barbie Botox, also referred to as Traptox, has become a sensation on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, where it has garnered millions of views over the last three years.

In less than seven decades, Barbie's mug went from a strange and scary prototype to a perfectly sculpted, golden-ratio face. Her career opportunities? Endless. Her wardrobe? Infinite. Not to mention the intricate Malibu mansions, drivable cars, sprawling merchandise lines, and a movie-going phenomenon that earned over $1 billion worldwide.

Contestant Keenyah Hill shares that she has since heard from viewers that the way her body was discussed on the show actually kick-started their eating disorders, a sobering reminder of how televised body shaming doesn't stay on the screen.

But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.

Instagram's new 'Shop the Look' feature and recent algorithm shifts highlight the vulnerability of social media reliance, where creators fear brand dilution from automated tags while companies like Oddity faced a massive stock drop due to the instability of rented social spaces.

On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972. Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Because there are so many versions of the doll - think a Fenty-level range of skin tones - it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them.

International model Cristina Perez Galcenco, the 21-year-old daughter of former soccer pro Nacho Perez, was found dead of apparently natural causes, according to Spanish media. Perez Galcenco was discovered deceased Tuesday at her residence in Spain's Malaga province, where she moved for a training course, according to a translated report from El Mundo. The young woman is believed to have died from natural causes, and foul play is not suspected.

You know someone is an A-list celebrity when they bag a Valentine's Day campaign. (Think: Hailey Bieber for Victoria's Secret, Millie Bobby Brown for Florence by Mills, and Sydney Sweeney for SYRN.) Elsa Hosk, however, proved her fashion-girl supremacy by fronting not one, but two separate V-Day shoots for Alo Yoga.
