Beauty
Routines, reviews and the hype check
What dermatologists, estheticians and founders really use, and the viral products that don't hold up.
A podcast
WORTH YOURWHILE
There's always another product to try, place to go, or show to watch. Beauty and lifestyle editor LeAura Luciano helps you decide what actually deserves your time, and why.
Look for this cover in Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
The idea
Everything gets the same three questions.
Products, treatments, trips, routines, shows, habits. Before anything earns a place in your life, it should pass this filter. Some things do. Plenty don't.
Do I actually use it?
Not once, not for the photo. Over and over, because it fits real life.
Does it make life easier or better?
Time saved, skin calmer, sleep deeper, trip smoother. Something you can point to.
Would I choose it again?
The rebuy test. If the answer is no, it didn't make the cut, no matter how good it looked.
What we cover
Beauty, wellness, travel, and the rituals worth keeping.
