The Olsen Twins Are Launching New Hair Products Your Beauty Routine Needs

In their 28 years on Earth, the Olsen twins have proven themselves to be some sort of magical fairy godmothers for all things style-related. With a wave of their giant Birkin bags, they’ve instantly made everything from giant sunglasses, to slouchy sweaters to all-black ensembles loved by the masses. And while they’ll always be two of our favorite fashion icons, we also regularly turn to them for beauty inspiration. So you can bet that when we recently discovered that their brand, Elizabeth and James recently announced plans to release multiple beauty products we got all kinds of excited.

Starting in September you’ll be able to add Olsen-approved dry shampoo, body oil and hand cream to your beauty routine. The brand revealed via Instagram they are already previewing the new E + J additions to a few of their favorite beauty editors, but the rest of the world is going to have to head to a Sephora this fall to score the products.

Building off their recently released perfumes, all the new beauty products will come in two scents: Nirvana White and Nirvana Black. There’s no word yet as to how just how much the items will sell for, but we’re betting there are a whole lot of ’90s, MK+A loving ladies out there who would be willing to shell out a pretty penny to bring the Olsen twins’ beauty routine into their home.

When it comes to our morning routines, simplicity is key. Essentials include a reef-safe SPF to combat the sun, a trusty deodorant to combat stink, and reliable dry shampoo to combat excessive oil while adding volume. Ahead you'll find our top picks to transform your tresses from flat to fabulous in a seasonally *hot* minute.

Innersense Refresh Dry Shampoo ($24)

This pick isn't your average dry shampoo. It starts out as a foam, but once you apply it to your hair, it turns into a lightweight powder. Magic! It eliminates extra oil while also adding some body and texture to limp hair, and we love the orange and neroli fragrance.

La Tierra Sagrada Dry Shampoo ($48)

Not only is this dry shampoo non-toxic and in a bottle that can be recycled, but it's also infused with adaptogens (plants that help your body's wellbeing). The plants in question, He Shou Wu and Mucuna Pruriens, have been used to help hair health for hundreds of years.

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo ($7)

This drugstore pick is great if you're on a budget. In addition to the price, we love that it barely leaves behind any fragrance, that way it's not in competition with our go-to perfume.

Verb Dry Shampoo For Dark Hair ($20)

The white residue that dry shampoo can leave behind can be annoying, especially if you have dark hair. That's why colored dry shampoo is so great! It works on all hair types, and you won't have to worry about any white streaks. Have lighter hair? Try the Verb Dry Shampoo for Light Hair instead.

IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo ($32)

The charcoal found in this product helps to clean your hair and your scalp while it sucks up all the oil. Plus, it's odor-eliminating and scalp-soothing, making it the perfect pick for days you don't have time to wash your hair.

Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk, Natural Tint ($20)

We love oat milk in our cold brew, but we never thought about adding it to our beauty products! This dry shampoo will suck up excess oil to give your hair new life.

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo ($26)

This vegan and sulfate-free formula is great for all hair types and will help you have the best second-day hair around. It's also talc-free so you don't have to worry about any white residue.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original ($8)

You won't regret grabbing a bottle of this dry shampoo on your next Target run. The subtle lavender, musk, and powder scent will offer a refreshing feel, and the formula contains keratin to make your hair smoother and shinier.

Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo ($41)

The fast-absorbing powders in this dry shampoo soak up all your oil and sweat to give you fresher-looking hair in minutes. Living Proof's patented healthy hair molecule reduces the surface friction of the powders so that it's easy to wash them out.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo ($14+)

We love that this product is cruelty-, sulfate-, and paraben-free. The rice powders in this formula are micro-fine so that they naturally blend with your hair color and once they absorb oil, they expand to provide your roots with volume. The Golden Root Extract adds some extra moisture to protect your hair from breakage.

Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Dry Shampoo Powder ($15+)

Give your hair a boost with the powerhouse ingredients in this formula. Zea Mays and Tapioca starches, as well as Avena Sativa Kernel Flour, add texture and volume, while the Silica removes oil from your roots.

Briogeo Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Root Powder & Dry Shampoo ($25)

The great thing about this lightweight and volumizing dry shampoo is that it lifts and provides some texture to your hair without leaving any sticky residue behind. A mix of ginger, ginseng, and biotin, which helps with long-term hair health, gets a thumb's up from us.

I'll admit out of the many teen dramas I've consumed, Outer Banks is one of the most ridiculous. But the insanity surrounding the plot is half the reason it's enjoyable! John B. wrestling an alligator with his bare hands? Kiara getting kidnapped then making a daring escape in her PJ's? John B. and Sarah getting married (kind of) by the power of "the sky, the stars, and the sea" after escaping the SBI?

Considering my favorite fan theory for the future is that Madelyn Cline's Sarah and Rudy Pankow's JJ learn they're secret siblings, I know the crazy train isn't slowing down anytime soon. I took to Reddit to find the wildest Outer Bankshot takes and I was not disappointed. Keep reading to see if you agree with any!

JJ and Kiara Never Should Have Happened

Image via Netflix

While JJ and Kiara is one of the most popular ships on the show, a lot of Outer Banks fans think the "no Pogue-on-Pogue macking" rule from the pilot should have stayed in effect. The individual romances between Kiara and JJ, John B., and Pope make the story really messy, and the fact the show writes Kiara to be with all three of them in the span of three years gives a lot of viewers the ick.

I'll be team #Jiara forever (and literally screamed when The Backseat Lovers' "Kilby Girl" started playing during the motorcycle ride in season 3), but I'll say it would incredibly compelling to see a friend group take care of each other as much as the Pogues do without ever crossing over into romantic territory. That's found family, after all!

Pope Should Have Ditched The Treasure Hunt

One Reddit user is convinced that "Pope should’ve focused on his future in school instead of giving everything up to search for treasure." And TBH, I totally agree.

In season 1, Pope has a breakthrough about the hidden treasure in the middle of his scholarship interview. He ditches the scholarship committee to tell the rest of the Pogues, throwing away a crazy educational opportunity. Pope beats himself up for it, and his parents definitely aren't pleased, but at least it meant he got to stay in the show instead of leaving for college, which leads me to...

Outer Banks Should Have Started With The Pogues In Their 20s

As one of the only people alive who loves the post-time jump One Tree Hill, I would have loved to see OBX start off with the characters in their 20s (although it looks like that's where Outer Banks season 4 will pick up!). This would eliminate SO MANY problems from the jump because the Pogues wouldn't have to worry about missing school, they'd be more self-sufficient, and instead of being the same old high school drama, it could have provided a commentary on figuring out life in your 20s the same way Friends did.

Rafe Shouldn't Have Any Kind Of Redemption Arc In Outer Banks Season 4

Drew Starkey the man that you are. According to one Reddit user, "Rafe should not have a love interest or a redemption arc" like we see in season 3. We spent all of season 1 and season 2 establishing that Rafe (played by Drew) would do anything it took to get what he wanted (including one successful murder and two other attempts?!). He shows next to no remorse for his actions, and exploring his literal psychopathic tendencies would take the show to a whole new level.

Big John Should Never Have Returned

John B.'s dad's disappearance is the catalyst for the Pogues' journey at the beginning of Outer Banks, and Big John's return means the story feels somewhat repetitive in the third season, and it undoes a lot of the growth we've seen from John B. Plus, Big John is just SO chaotic, selfish, and dramatic. If he had truly died in season 1, we could have seen John B. wrestle with that finality, and how to cope with loss in the face of finding the treasure and falling in love with Sarah.

And Finally, Outer Banks Should Have Ended After Season 1

Image via Netflix

Outer Banks season 1 was exactly what we needed at the height of the pandemic. It was escapist — both in terms of the beach vacation vibes, but also because the '00s aesthetic took us right back to simpler times — and it had such a wonderfully resolved finale that some fans think nothing has matched it.

Do you agree with any of these Outer Banks opinions? I'm such a romance fan, I don't know what I'd do if the show didn't have JJ and Kiara get together! Check out all the best New TV Shows coming this year for more.

If you’ve ever envied someone who looks like they’ve mastered the balance between bouncy strands and second (or third) day hair, then we have good news for you. Turns out you can train your mane to be less oily so you can lather up less frequently too. Celebrity hairstylist Patrick Melville claims that it’s totally possible to balance out the oil production from your scalp after understanding which no-shampoo-plan works best for your specific strands. Here’s how to do it, week-by-week, for each hair type.

COILY

Week 1: If you have tightly coiled hair, Melville recommends washing about once per week when you’re weaning yourself off shampoo. “You should rinse coily hair one time a week with only warm water and a lightweight conditioner to cleanse the scalp and hair in between washes,” he says. “The hair will take some time to adapt to the new beauty regimen, but you will start to see a difference by the week’s end.”

Week 2: After making it over the week-one hump, your mane will begin looking even better. “At this time, you can expect to see more curl definition and shine, while the hair will also appear thicker and healthier,” Melville explains.

Week 3: By week three, your tresses should be used to less frequent washes — and the lack of constant oil stripping from shampoo should start to be noticeable. “You will really start to see the benefits of less washing because you are not stripping out all the natural oils,” he says. “By washing less, you are adding moisture back into the hair.”

CURLY

Week 1: Just like coiled hair, you should adopt the wash-and-rinse-once-a-week method in the beginning. “This method will refresh curly hair, keeping it healthy and free of pollutants,” he tells us. Consider using a comb in the shower to stimulate your scalp; it can help reduce build-up while waking up the roots of your mane.

Week 2: Get ready for fresh texture! Week two will bring out a noticeable improvement in the look and feel of your spirals. “Hair will feel less dry and appear less dull, and the curls will be smoother and polished,” Melville explains.

Week 3: At the end of your tress training, your curls should be living their best life. Your hair will have a soft-to-the-touch feel and a glossy, structured look, and you’ll be rocking healthy bends that are full of bounce. “You will notice the biggest difference in week three,” he says. “Curls will be much healthier, more hydrated, and defined.”

WAVY

Week 1: Somewhere in between straight and curly hair, wavy locks can be tough to tackle — but it can be done. “You should wash wavy hair about twice a week depending on the product [you’re] using,” Melville recommends. “It will take some time for this hair type to adapt to the changes, but you’ll see beneficial results just by cutting down on washing every day.” Try to limit using a bunch of products during this week if you can; it will help your strands’ oil factor balance out faster.

Week 2: Less shampoo means less stripping, and wavy hair can really benefit from the natural moisture our scalp already produces. “In week two, wavy hair will start to feel softer and look smoother,” he says. Oil isn’t always a bad thing.

Week 3: Bring on the sheen! Week three of less frequent cleansing will make your mane shine bright. “You’ll notice much more shine in wavy hair on week three,” he tells us. “It will also appear to be stronger and healthier.”

STRAIGHT

Week 1: The flat nature of straight hair means that you might need to lather up more frequently in the beginning of your hair training journey, as it’s easier to see oil in this hair type. “Since straight hair tends to lay closer to the head, you should cleanse two or three times a week,” Melville recommends. “In week one, it will take time for the hair to adapt to the changes, but you’ll start seeing results by the end of week one if you stick to it.”

Week 2: As the week goes on, expect the structure of your strands to improve. Beyond how your hair looks, it’s also important to note how it feels. “Straight hair should get stronger as you head into week two because you’re not removing beneficial oils from the scalp,” he explains.

Week 3: Less shampoo means more shine and smoothness for straight hair, so get excited about letting your hair down in all its glory by week three. “You’ll start seeing a lot more glow in the hair from less styling and over-cleansing,” he says. The more you can let your locks do their natural thing, the better.

Mariska Hargitay is the woman of the hour anywhere she goes, with her iconic Law & Order: SVUrole as Olivia Benson under her belt for the last 25 years. The character is an absolute advocate to women — and assault victims of any gender — through her words, actions, and powerful convictions of each perpetrator on the show. She takes great care with her victims and pursues perpetrators with fervor, and slowly as you watch the show..the line blurs between Olivia and Mariska.

This isn't anything new — just recently Mariska literally stopped production on the show to help a child (who mistook her for an actual police officer) find her mom. It's just who Mariska is. She walks the walk and talks the talk — including during her speech at Variety's Power of Women's Power of Women event.

Image via NBC Universal

As a Power of Women honoree, Mariska was recognized in regards to her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors. She took the stage and used her platform to discuss rape and assault conviction reversals, shining a light on the recent overturned ruling in Harvey Weinstein's landmark NYC case. Here's what she said:

Today I want to talk about reversing convictions, and more specifically I want to talk to you about how impossible it is to reverse mine. It’s impossible to reverse my conviction that survivors matter. It is impossible to reverse my conviction that what happens to us matters, and that our society must respond to survivors with a more a compassionate, holistically, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of what healing means.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that after a trauma, survivors can reclaim lives of hope, of possibility, of audacious risk, beautiful intimacy, and glorious, glorious abundant joy. And I stand before you as evidence of that statement.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that we must listen to survivors as experts on what justice means. It is extraordinary how little their voices are consulted, let alone incorporated, in the process of deciding how to repair harm. Justice is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that patriarchal impunity has to end. Patriarchal impunity is when a male-dominated system exempts perpetrators from punishment. Studies show that only 20% of all rape cases in the U.S. are reported to the police, and that between 5 and 0% of all rapes result in a guilty plea or a conviction. So why do 80% of victims not report? Because they're met with a system that grants impunity to perpetrators; a system that blames victims; a system that accepts only those victims who are experienced as "real" rape; a system that completely misunderstands the neurobiology of trauma, which causes behavior in women that doesn't fit the picture of how a "real victim" would act.

Is that change needed that victims should just pull themselves together? Just buck up and report anyway? No. No, it's the system that receives them that needs to change

It is impossible to reverse my conviction — and the conviction of my extraordinary team, The Joyful Heart — that the backlog of untested rape kits can be brought to zero; that the testing of all new kits must be mandated; that we need a statewide kit tracking system; and that survivors have the right to access the status of their kits.

It is impossible to reverse my conviction that grammar — yes, grammar — that we use when we speak about rape must change. In the sentence, "A woman is raped," there's a crime and there's a victim, but there's no perpetrator. Where's the perpetrator? Where is he? Statistically, as we know, most likely he's walking free. He's so free that he doesn't even appear in the language about the crime that he committed. Is that not extraordinary? It's extraordinary that in the very grammar, the perpetrator goes free. Reintroducing perpetrators in the language of rape will make some very unwieldy grammar, but that's the nature of change. It's unwieldy, it's messy, it's uncomfortable, but it's necessary.

Image via NBC Universal

Hargitay continued on in her prolific speech to describe that rape shouldn't be considered a "crime of passion" because it's "not simply the next step in the trajectory of his passion" when a man takes a consensual hookup too far and assaults a woman against her will. She stated that it's "an exercise of power," doubling down that the language we use is important.

The speech went on to address that rape is both about power and control, as a "construct" that was "built, and assembled, and reinforced over time." She noted that there are people with these positions of power — and she specifically called out those in the entertainment industry — that could make a difference and aligned themselves to victims and survivors.

After this and some other remarks, Hargitay specifically called out the Weinstein conviction reversal. She said:

I do want to say something about the Harvey Weinstein conviction, specifically about the reason that it was overturned: too many women's voices. Too many women's voices were allowed to speak. Hallelujah! Amen! I can't imagine anything more beautiful than that. The Daily podcast episode talked about how it was so risky for the prosecution to have that many women testify. Risky to let women speak? You're damn right it is!

Too many women speaking brings change. Too many women speaking shakes the establishment. Too many women means we get listened to more, and people might actually hear what we have to say. Look what happened when women started saying just two words, right? Me too — just as an example — a tidal wave of change. Me too.

And then of course, there was the response: the Me Too Movement. The backlash. The examination of whether the changes that have come are lasting, or are even positive. Of course there's a backlash! What did they expect? For women to speak repeatedly, loudly, together, with a purpose — for there to be no backlash? The backlash is evidence of how powerful those voices were, how powerful those voices ARE.

After Emily in Paris season 3 dropped on Netflix in December of 2022, we were hoping to get the fourth installment of the hit show in 2023. But production halted when the WGA writers' strike, then the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike went to affect, and our beloved cast and crew campaigned for better wages and industry protection. But with the end of the writers' strike, and new SAG negotiations, Emily in Paris season 4 finally began production in February 2024 — and I can already tell you there's sure to be plenty of drama and French fashion this time around.

Not only will we see Emily in Paris (see what I did there?!) but she's also pulling an Audrey Hepburn and taking a little Roman Holiday. That's right — our favorite Parisians are heading to Italy! If that doesn't sound like a dreamy comfort show then I don't know what does. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season of your favorite TV brain candy!!

Is Emily in Paris season 4 coming soon?

Image via Lily Collins/Instagram

Via Variety, Emily in Paris season 4 began production in Paris the week of January 15! "Did someone say Saison Quatre?!" Lily Collins says in her Instagram post announcing production. "Finally reunited with my @emilyinparis fam back in Paris and it feels so good. Although, I may need to brush up on my selfie skills for Emily’s sake…"

Now the wait is over! According to the official announcementfor Emily in Paris, we know part one drops on Netflix August 15, followed by part 2 on September 12. I've been impatiently waiting for this considering we didn't know how filming would be impacted by things like the WGA writers strike!

Is Emily in Paris filmed in Paris?

Image via Lily Collins/Instagram

Yes, Emily in Paris is filmed on location in Paris! We got our first look at Emily in Paris season 4 when Lily Collins and Ashley Park were seen filming in the City of Love (via Daily Mail). The costumes for the series are still as bold and bright as ever, with Ashley's Mindy wearing cobalt and metallic boots, and Lily's Emily dressed head-to-toe in lemon yellow. I can't wait to see what these best friends get up to this season! Check out our Paris travel recommendations to live out your own Emily in Paris dreams ;).

On April 27, Lily Collins confirmed Emily in Paris season 4 had wrapped its France shoot and that the cast & crew have swapped the City of Love for the Eternal City! "When you’re the first ones on the dance floor at the Paris wrap party. Next stop: Rome!" she says on Instagram. Late spring is literally the perfect time to film in Italy and I just know this season is going to give me more wanderlust than ever before. I need gelato!

What's Emily In Paris season 4 about?

Image via Netflix

Season 3 left us with a huge cliffhanger: Alfie breaks up with Emily, Camille learns she's pregnant with Gabriel's baby, Benoit's "Mon Soleil" has been chosen for the Eurovision Song Contest, and Emily and Gabriel realize they've been in love with each other the whole time. Whew.

Emily in Paris season 4 will have a ton of cliffhangers to bring full circle, and a bunch of damage that all the characters need to heal. We know from the Netflix TUDUM fan event that we might also see Emily have to deal with an ultimatum head-on, as well as an unexpected twist. Plus, it looks like she's heading on a "Roman holiday," according to lead actress Lily Collins. We'll take any nod to an Audrey Hepburn movie, please and thank you!

Is Alfie coming back in season 4 of Emily in Paris?

Image via Netflix

We don't have OFFICIAL word on whether Alfie (played by Lucien Laviscount) will return for Emily in Paris season 4, but we're hoping for his sake that he gets some closure. Lucien wants to come back as well! "[The dream is] to keep this gravy train going and just to kind of really live in this world a little bit longer," he says in an interview with Elle. " The writers on the show and the creators behind it and everyone that comes into contact with it is so amazing and fantastic. Their minds [have] way, way, way, way surpassed mine. So, yeah. I’ll let them do their thing.”

Who else is in the Emily in Paris season 4 cast?

Image via Netflix

We can expect the rest of the cast — Lily Collins as Emily, Lucas Bravo as Gabriel, Ashley Park as Mindy, Camille Razat as Camille, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie, Samuel Arnold as Julian, and Bruno Gouery as Luc — to return.

Will there be a season 5 of Emily in Paris?

Image via Marie Etchegoyen/Netflix

It looks like Emily in Paris season 4 will not be the final season, according to creator Darren Star. “There’s a lot more story to tell here and we’re not wrapping things up anytime soon,” Star tells Elle. “And also hopefully season four isn’t the end either. I feel like we’re all creatively feeling like we’re in the middle of something not heading towards the end.”

Darren also told Deadline season 4 is "not necessarily conceived as a final chapter. I think like every other show, it’s a rich ensemble. There’s no end in sight until everybody feels like it’s time to end. And I don’t think this show is limited by a number of seasons, I think it’s limited by everybody’s enthusiasm and excitement about doing it and telling stories about these characters."

We'll take as many seasons of Emily in Paris as they'll give us!!

What has the cast said about Emily in Paris season 4?

Image via Marie Etchegoyen/Netflix

Lucas Bravo told People he's excited for a coming-of-age for Gabriel. "When you start a character, then there's a year where you experience the world and you mature, you become another person and you come back and it's exactly the day you left off," he says. "I'm happy that in season four I'll be able to bring more of what I became and what I've experienced in the past four years."

Even though Lily Collins is now an executive producer, she doesn't want to know TOO much about the future of the show. “Darren and I speak, on occasion, about where he’s thinking of going, but he also doesn’t wanna spoil too much for me because there is a fine line,” she tells Collider. “I don’t wanna know everything because I want to be led with the writing, but I am also curious because, as a producer wanting to celebrate the other characters, I’m very curious to see what their trajectories are."

What happened at the end of Emily in Paris season 3?

Image via Netflix

To be fully prepared for Emily in Paris season 4, it's important to remember just what happened during season 3! The junior season was a bumpy ride for Emily, and it ends with the craziest finale yet. After Camille and Gabriel decide to get married, Camille stops the wedding, saying she knows Gabriel is in love with Emily instead of her. This declaration leads Alfie to break up with our leading lady because he refuses to be her second choice (and honestly, I respect it). That's not the only shocker because Camille also reveals that she's pregnant with Gabriel's child, which comes as a surprise to everyone. Meanwhile, Mindy learns Benoit has submitted a song (specifically "Mon Soleil") to the Eurovision Song Contest and Laurent has his heart set on opening a club in Paris.

Are you excited for Emily in Paris Season 4? Give us your craziest theory in the comments, and check out our Facebook for more pop culture news. Read up on how This Emily In Paris Theory Could Be Why Emily And Gabriel Aren’t Together (Yet).
