Kylie Jenner Made Ulta’s Stock Skyrocket For THIS Reason

Ever since the debut of her Kylie Lip Kits in 2015, Kylie Jenner has become a bona fide beauty mogul, amassing a $900 million fortune in less than three years. As she’s expanded Kylie Cosmetics, each new product launch seems to sell out almost instantly, with buyers clamoring to get their hands on her new goodies. But Jenner herself just made a major announcement about her brand, and fans are going to freak out.

The 21-year-old announced on Twitter last night that Kylie Cosmetics will be launching in allUlta Beauty stores, just in time for the holiday season. This is big news for the brand, as Jenner has near exclusively sold her products online at KylieCosmetics.com. Aside from a few pop-up shops in major cities and in seven Topshop locations across the country last year, fans have never been able to readily try out and purchase the products in stores … that is, until now.

Ulta confirmed the news in an Instagram post, writing that her line will be available in all stores nationwide and online. After the announcement, CNBC reports that Ulta stock skyrocketed as much as 10 percent, reminding us all about the power of Kylie.

No word on an exact date for when you can find Kylie Cosmetics in your local store or how long the partnership will last, but we have a feeling that holiday shopping is about to be all the more exciting this year. Get those stocking stuffers for you and your loved ones. Happy holidays indeed!

Now that we're inching towards fall, it's time for most of us to rethink our skincare and makeup routines. For anyone who has dry skin, it can be annoying trying to figure out how to keep your skin moisturized underneath other beauty products, especially as the air gets cold and crisp. It's even more frustrating when your foundation or concealer start to crease within 20 minutes of you applying it. No need to fret, though — we have the best drugstore makeup for dry skin over 40!

Best Primers For Dry Skin Over 40

Amazon

e.l.f. Cosmetics Hydrating Face Primer

We love e.l.f.'s power grip primer, but that's not say it's perfect for mature dry skin. Knowing that skin starts to lose its elasticity as we age, it's important to use something that's ultra moisturizing like e.l.f.'s hydrating face primer. It's still long-lasting, but it helps create a smoother base for the rest of your makeup and is infused with grape, Vitamins A, C, & E for all the hydration your skin craves.

Customers say it works the best for "anyone with maturing, dry, sensitive, or combination skin" and it's "really soothing during winter months!"

Amazon

NYX Cosmetics Bare With Me Daily Moisturizing Primer with Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil and SPF 30

NYX Cosmetics has a knack for making some of the best drugstore beauty products out there, so it's no surprise their daily moisturizing primer is recommended for dry skin over 40. It boasts an impressive amount of hydration that's also formulated with SPF 30 to protect skin from UVA and UVB rays. Also, you'll find Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil in it for 24 hours of soothing protection.

It doesn't have any color to it, making this primer great for those who have sensitive skin in addition to experiencing dryness. One customer who's over 40 says that it "works perfectly like a little thin veil" for her skin.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50

This foundation is specifically designed for anyone with mature skin and features Vitamin B3 as well as a hydrating serum that makes another great option for foundation. It's lightweight and won't irritate even the most sensitive skin. Plus, the added SPF 50 is a nice layer of protection.

Customers say this foundation "doesn't clump in wrinkles" and gives them a "glowing, healthy look."

Concealers

Amazon

Colourpop Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Creamy Concealer

Give yourself a flawless makeup look starting with this creamy, hydrating concealer. It's also a color corrector that'll cover dark circles or dark spots. The ingredients that make this possible are hyaluronic acid and coconut water. It "does not crease" or "settle into fine lines according to customers who consistently use it.

Amazon

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer

This Age Rewind concealer is another way to get rid of dark circles and help add radiance to dry skin. Created with Haloxyl, an anti-aging ingredient, fine lines and wrinkles don't stand a chance against it. One customer says that it "blends perfectly to soften my 70 year old wrinkles." Pefection!

Bronzer

Amazon

Revolution Beauty Ultra Cream Face Bronzer

Mature, dry skin doesn't need anything that's difficult to blend, but you won't run into that probably with this Ultra Cream Face Bronzer. Besides being buildable, it's creamy and gives you a natural sun-kissed look that makes you look like summer lives periodically caresses your face whenever it pleases.

Customers boast about it being "easy to apply on mature skin" and love that it will "warm up" anyone's face.

Amazon

Covergirl Trublend High Pigment Bronzer

There's no harm in looking for all day coverage if you're still heading into work everyday, but you need something that won't feel heavy on your skin. Covergirl's Trublend High Pigment Bronzer will give you bold color that stays in place even after an "8 hour shift," according to a customer!

Best Blushes For Dry Skin Over 40

Ulta

Milani Baked Blush Radiant Powder Blush

This powder is so universal because it works for everyone. It's highly pigmented, buildable, and versatile enough for you to use as a highlighter or eyeshadow. Though it's a powder blush, it's not drying like others and is "incredibly affordable" for the quality, according to one customer.

Ulta

NYX Buttermelt Blush

NYX's buttermelt blushes are amazing for several reasons, but we love how they complement mature dry skin! They look like powder at first, but a quick swipe quickly reveals how buttery they really are. This is all thanks to ingredients like mango, shea, and almost butters!

Customers say it "lasts all day" and they'd "buy this product again."

Fall is finally upon us, bringing so much crisp weather, cool 'fits, and fantastic PSLs! While the rest of the year has plenty to offer in its own way, autumn just really does hit different. And while so much good comes from the turn from summer into fall, the Autumn Equinox on September 22 brings about its own energetic changes we've got to navigate. In order to keep those good vibes going and under understand how you can bring balance to your life during this shift, read on for your sun, moon, and rising sign horoscope from Inbaal Honigman and Psychic World!

Read For Your Sun, Moon, And Rising Sign Autumn Equinox Horoscope!

Brit + Co

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

For Aries, the equilibrium of the Equinox may not hold great allure, as they lean towards extremes rather than stability. But do make an effort as the Autumn Equinox ushers in Libra season (September 23rd - October 22nd), with the whole month dedicated to finding balance. With every active day, combine a calm day. Given that Libra is your polar opposite on the zodiac wheel, this may come as a challenge, but it's needed for a steady mind this season.

Brit + Co

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Autumn Equinox is a balanced and elegant time of year, and this speaks right to the Taureans’ soul, as they appreciate peace and equilibrium. A piece of advice for the Equinox is to step out of your comfort zone, seize the opportunity presented by the Harvest Moon on the 29th, and make plans for new and unconventional experiences.

Brit + Co

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Summer is their season, as Geminis relish a party or two, and the company of others. The approaching autumn may bring a sense of solitude, which Geminis hate. All the sensible balance of the Autumn Equinox is just plain boring to most, so the twin sign should do their best to reconnect with their inner child and all the things they love about Autumn. Consider booking a trip to view the Northern Lights, or tuning in to a Northern Lights broadcast on your phone to keep things fun and original.

Brit + Co

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The Equinox is a solar phenomenon marking the perfect balance between daylight and darkness. This might not resonate as strongly with Cancers, who are lunar creatures, ruled by the moon. Hence, they are more likely to feel the impact of the Harvest moon — a time of endings and resource gathering — on the 29th, rather than the Autumn Equinox, which signifies balance. Emotional Cancers can also be comforted by their favourite autumnal scents, movies and time with their loved ones this season.

Brit + Co

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)

Leo’s planetary ruler is the Sun, and so celestial shifts such as solstices and equinoxes will feel very impactful. The call to bid farewell to the joys of summer behind and embrace the muted tones of autumn is strong, though they can't help but miss the sunny days. Leos should expect a powerful boost this season as the energetic shift will tap into their curiosity and passion.

Brit + Co

Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

The very end of Virgo season is when the fall Equinox hits — and isn't it ironic? Under the influence of Virgo, society as a whole has been organized and neat, shedding unnecessary baggage and investing in self-improvement, much like the sign itself. And when the Equinox asks everyone — are you sure you're done? Is everything in place? Virgos can confidently answer 'yes'.

Brit + Co

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

As Libra season approaches, get ready to feel right at home! No one will enjoy this cosy season more than the Libra, with everything pumpkin spice upon us, and the Autumn Equinox signals this shift. No shaming of those who want to pull their pajamas on straight after work. Peaceful moments as the leaves fall are the key to Libra’s happiness.

Brit + Co

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Secrets are a Scorpios safety net. Not big secrets like having two wives, but little secrets like 'Yeah, I loved Dangerous Liaisons' or 'I don't know my way around Birmingham'. With the arrival of the Autumn Equinox, Scorpios leave summer behind and find comfort in the shadows of winter. It will be a refreshing time.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

The end of summer hits Sagittarius hard, because they love traveling so much. The Equinox calls for a moment of calm and balance, although that is not their vibe as they seek for winter sun destinations. A Sagittarius should allow themself to be still for a few days, put their phones and passports away and honor the fall season with a few deep breaths.

Brit + Co

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Capricorn is a business-minded sign who understands that change is a constant, cyclical aspect of life. And so when the time comes to enact change, they seize the opportunity. The Autumn Equinox serves as a reminder that what once worked may no longer be effective, signaling the need to adjust your routine.

Brit + Co

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

With their humanitarian nature, Aquarians are always introspective. This Equinox will encourage this idealistic sign to visit new places, and learn new things. They also enjoy being helpful, but will not be conspicuous about it. They like to be well-read, but hate a snob or a show off — so the Equinox is right up their alley! Business as usual.

Brit + Co

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)

As a romantic at heart, Pisces hold high expectations for themselves. The Equinox's call for balance and self-value is a message Pisces need to hear. The increased likelihood of witnessing the Northern Lights adds an extra touch of enchantment to this autumn season for Pisces.

Growing up, I had very pale lashes — they were basically nonexistent — and my best friend was mascara. I always say that it's my number one desert island product. And with this makeup essential being my #1 everyday fave, I've tried so many different kinds...it's honestly kind of crazy. So since I'm somewhat of a professional mascara connoisseur, I thought I'd show you some of my favorites of all time — and they're all drugstore picks under $10! Let's get into it!

Amazon

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High

This mascara is so sensational that it has over 100,000 reviews on Amazon — and I can definitely see why. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High made my eyelashes so huge, that I genuinely had to stop wearing it everyday because it made me look like I had falsies on. This one is very voluminous, and super lengthening.

Amazon

Essence Lash Princess Mascara

The people's princess, and everyone's favorite, has to be this mascara. I've never heard more about a mascara in my life than the Essence Lash Princess Mascara. It's largely raved about by over 300,000 people on Amazon as truly being the best mascara. And the best part? It's UNDER $5! This one deserves all the flowers, and will mak your lashes look stunning in no time!

Amazon

Maybelline Great Lash

I will never forget my first trip to the drugstore where my mom let me pick out my very own makeup products. I chose translucent face powder and this mascara. I used it everyday, and it made my lashes look incredible — and it still does! I re-visited it last year to see if it's as good as I remember, and it definitely was! It's the best bang for your buck, coming in at only $5!

Amazon

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Another OG fave for me, I've used this drugstore mascara for years! Not only is it voluminous, but it's also extra lengthening. Honestly, it's probably the most lengthening mascara I've ever used. The applicator is so precise, and it really helps you coat every single lash directly. An all-time fave of mine!

Amazon

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara

My favorite thing about this mascara? It makes your lashes not only look long, but also so soft! This won't give you that flakey hardened texture like a lot of mascaras tend to do. Instead, your lashes are long and fluttery. A perfect mascara, if you ask me!

Amazon

Maybelline Volum' Express

If you're looking for some serious volume, then look no further! This affordable mascara is perfect to give your lashes a lift and add some volume. The thickness is gives is amazing, and I love the applicator on this one as well.

Amazon

Covergirl Lash Blast

I've loved this mascara for years because the initial application coats just about every lash you have. It's also ideal for those of you that have been looking for a smudge proof mascara that won't transfer at all and leave your under eyes all dark. Defiantly a 10/10 for me!

Amazon

Maybelline Stiletto

Okay, this mascara is yet another drugstore pick that I've used for the longest time. It's such a cute bottle, and the applicator is super thin and pointed, so it's great for lengthening your lashes, all the while adding the perfect amount of volume as well. It's also very dark, so it will make give your lashes some extra dramatic color.

Amazon

Milani Lash Extensions Tubing Mascara

I love a good tubing mascara, because — unlike most mascaras — it's so easy to remove. All you have to do is lightly get your lashes wet, wipe them down, and voila! Your mascara is all gone. Would highly recommend this one, if you hate taking off mascara at night.

Amazon

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Black

This mascara genuinely has the blackest pigment you can find! It will make your lashes look freshly tinted, all while getting that va-va-voom volume we're all looking for. This is another great option to add to your list!

Fall dresses are my vice. I love stepping out in something flowy, comfy, and cute, and Abercrombie & Fitch has absolutely mastered making fall dresses that check all of those boxes and more. From form-fitting mini styles to dreamy maxi dresses, these Abercrombie & Fitch fall dresses definitely deserve a spot in your seasonal wardrobe. Scroll on to shop my favorite in-stock pieces!

Abercrombie & Fitch

The A&F Paloma Mini Dress

This adorable, meshy, lined mini dress is the perfect on-trend piece to try out this season. Leopard print is undeniably on the rise – take a walk on the wild side by pairing this dress with a black blazer and heels!

Abercrombie & Fitch

Essential Long-Sleeve Rugby Mini Dress

Did someone say preppy? This striped rugby dress feels just as good as wearing an oversized tee (and nothing else) on your day off. Its casual, loose-fitting silhouette makes it super easy to dress up or down, depending on your mood.

Abercrombie & Fitch

The A&F Ava Long-Sleeve Mini Dress

It's never a bad idea to work in some color to your fall wardrobe, but why go with the expected deep greens and burnt oranges when a gorgeous fuchsia like this exists? This long-sleeved mini dress will surely make your look stand out with a unique squared neckline and bouts of flattering ruching along the sides.

Abercrombie & Fitch

The A&F Mara High-Neck Vest Midi Dress

Give me denim dresses or give me death! This sleek design from A&F is cut from a "soft denim fabric" that'll make you forget you're even dressed up. The high neck offers a sophisticated vibe, no matter what you end up wearing with it (I'd absolutely layer the dress with some tall black riding boots).

Abercrombie & Fitch

Satin Slip Maxi Dress

Slip dresses are timeless, but sometimes, it's fun to play around with ones that have patterns on them. As opposed to a solid black slip, this silky one is dotted in repetitive bow illustrations for head-turning effect.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Squareneck Belted Mini Dress

I love this mini because it feels perfectly appropriate for a wide range of occasions, from the office to happy hour. It has a drop-waist effect, thanks to the low-lying skinny belt that definitely gives cool-girl chic. For work, simply wear it with a tailored cardigan or blazer and some ballet flats.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Long-Sleeve Slash Knit Maxi Dress

Navy blue is slowly becoming my go-to color for fall, and the fact that this cozy dress is swarmed in it makes me want to purchase ASAP. It wears like a total dream, thanks to the stretch knit fabric it's made of, and it's ultimately super flattering on, with tons of ruching and draping to boot.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Ribbed Sweater Duster Dress

ICYMI, it's sweater dress season. When the temperatures start to fall, reaching for a pair of jeans when all you want to do is cuddle up in a blanket just feels wrong. That's where cozy sweater dresses like this one come in – they give you the dressed-up look without ever restricting or distracting you from the day. That's a win!

Abercrombie & Fitch

The A&F Mara Tweed Vest Mini Dress

This work-ready mini dress truly lives in my brain rent-free. I love how polished it looks! It's crafted from a soft tweed fabric with plenty of shiny buttons up the front, non-functional pockets, and a chic v-neckline to complete the look. The dress' overall fit is body-skimming, so it's super flattering, too.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Dipped-Waist Sweetheart Maxi Dress

A drop waist dress is always gonna get me! This dreamy white maxi has the effect of a drop waist without flaunting it fully. The dipped waistline pairs well with the playful open back detail before falling to a perfectly flowy skirt that you can easily don on dinner dates and parties amongst your friend group.

Abercrombie & Fitch

The A&F Ava Knit Maxi Dress

Bright red is definitely one of the trendiest colors to keep an eye on this fall. This fitted maxi dress won't be missed wherever you go, thanks to the eye-catching colorway! The ruching on the side of the bodice hugs your figure nicely while the flirty leg slit draws even more attention to your look.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Short-Sleeve Denim Shirt Dress

This denim shirt dress will be your BFF for wearing with all your fall shoes! From sneakers to boots, it allows endless styling opportunities.

Has anyone else felt like their mid-year reset skipped them...or is that just me? Truthfully, my mental health started teetering towards the beginning of the year while my self-care has taken a swan dive into a forgotten abyss.

In an attempt to redirect myself, I've hit pause on rom-coms and thriller books so I can have more time for peaceful introspection. It turns out escapism is fun until you realize how much you've been neglecting yourself.

There are so many titles out there, but these 15 self-care books are the most brilliant ones I've come across!

P.S. Some of these books are in heavy rotation! Keep them handy for the days you're feeling down!

Amazon

Consider This: Reflections for Finding Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab (October 15, 2024)

Therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab captured my attention with her titles Set Boundaries, Find Peace and Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships so much that I always have them on my desk.

Slowing: Discover Wonder, Beauty, and Creativity Through Slow Living by Rachel Schwartzmann

Author and Slow Stories podcast host Rachel Schwartzmann is here to remind us to slow TF down.

She has poignant essays about the positive effects of slowing down — plus, she introduces readers to other voices who have insight about their own experiences with doing so! There are even "guided practices" to help reignite our introspection and creativity through journaling.

Amazon

The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power by Katherine Morgan Schafler

Perfectionists, we've been summoned with a guide that wants to give us permission to stop trying to control everything. It's so funny — this book landed on my radar after stressing about how I haven't felt in control for a long time. See how life works?

Anyway, psychotherapist Morgan Schafler knows we've been spoon-fed ideology about having balance in our lives, and feels like it's actually not helpful in the long run. She even helps categorize different versions of perfectionism: classic, intense, Parisian, messy, and procrastinator. Yes, that's right. Your procrastinating habit is rooted in perfectionism.

Instead of telling you to get rid of a part of who you are, Schafler breaks down why we respond to things a certain way and teaches how to live life so that our perfectionism doesn't necessarily control every single thing we do.

Amazon

The Secret Language of the Body by Jennifer Mann and Karden Rabin

Do you know the role our nervous systems plays in our bodies? It's basically our in-house communication center for messages between our brains and bodies. It's what triggers or flight or fight mode, which comes in handy if we're trying to escape a bristly bear in the woods, but does nothing for us if we're upset someone cut us in line at Starbucks. Little moments like that lead to nervous system dysregulation and can cause a lot of pain.

Mind-body practitioners Jen Mann and Karden Rabin wrote The Secret Language of the Body as way to help us understand what truly goes on in our nervous systems. They dive into topics like somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, and how our minds and bodies are connected so we can stop living in survival mode.

Amazon

The Joy of Saying No by Natalie Lue

You know what's even harder to navigate life with besides perfectionism? It's being a people pleaser and considering everyone else's feelings before you think about your own.

The Joy of Saying No aims to explain how this is often rooted in our childhoods from being known as the good kid to the one who believes overachieving makes them more likable. It's true these roles served a function, but they can also stop us from being who we are as adults. Natalie Lue wants to help us recognize how we continue to operate in people-pleasing mode via six steps so we can reset our connection to others.

Amazon

Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA

I'm going to talk about this book forever! It's one of my go-to reads when I'm experiencing so much burnout I can barely think straight. Sisters Emily Nagoski, Phd and Amelia Nagoski, DMA know that burnout isn't a new phenomenon — nor are they claiming it is. What they do know is too many women continue to experience it and are determined to help us change course.

There's lessons about how to move through our natural biological stress cycles, check in with our brains when we're frustrated, and get intimate with our inner critics who live to remind us that we're not doing enough. It's written so beautifully that you'll feel like you're talking to a friend who majored in psychology, but still has the same down-to-earth attitude you first encountered as kids.

Amazon

The Sugar Jar: Create Boundaries, Embrace Self-Healing, and Enjoy the Sweet Things in Life by Yasmine Cheyenne

Yasmine Cheyenne's Sugar Jar metaphor is one of the easiest ways for us to realize how depleted we can become if we're not managing our boundaries and healing. From leaving our proverbial jars open, we become subject to energy vampires and moments we don't recognize we need to replenish ourselves until we're on the brink of burnout.

She teaches us how to understand what makes us feel exhausted, how we can press reset, and break up with our own negative habits. Also, she taps into our people-pleasing tendencies so we can find healthier ways to show up for ourselves and others.

Self-Care for Moms by Sara Robinson, MA

Moms are often praised for our ability to be self-sacrificing and resilient in the face of hardship, but I'd be lying if I said it felt like people seem to forget we're human. We do care a lot and have the warm nurturing nature everyone talks about, but we also have our limits lest we fall victim to burnout.
