If you’ve battled oily or combination skin since the days of middle school, you know the struggle of finding a mattifying product that controls shine without clinging to fine lines or drying out the rest of your face. Most options either scream “teen acne treatment” or leave a chalky mess behind —vespecially for those with combination skin.

Enter the Catrice Magic Shine Eraser Gel-To-Powder, a $8 beauty find that’s quietly earning cult status among shoppers who say it makes your face “almost look like you have a filter on it.” Yes, really.

This unassuming compact holds a gel that transforms into a lightweight powder with a sheer, blurring finish — no flashback, no cakey buildup, and no fuss. One shopper with a self-proclaimed average makeup routine raved, “This stuff rocks! I pressed it all over my face — even around my eyes! Amazing! And does not settle!” That alone should raise an eyebrow (and maybe an add-to-cart reflex).

It’s also excellent for touch-ups on the go, according to fans. The formula is talc-free, oil-free, and comes in a solid compact that won’t explode in your purse or leave mystery dust on your phone. One reviewer gushed, “I AM OBSESSED. This stuff is honestly like magic… perfect touch-up and super easy to use, just use a little powder puff!” Bonus points: it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and skips all the usual suspects like parabens, fragrance, alcohol, and microplastics.

The ingredient list may read like a clean beauty checklist, but it’s the performance of this mattifying gel-to-powder that keeps shoppers coming back. One review titled “So unique and effective!” says it best: “Literally looks like nothing but works great at reducing shine and creating a blurring effect.”

And if you’re worried about it altering your carefully blended makeup? Don’t be. The formula is completely transparent and plays well with all skin tones and products, melting seamlessly into the skin for that elusive soft-focus finish.

So if your T-zone refuses to cooperate and powders leave your face looking like the Mojave Desert, consider this your $8 solution. The Catrice Magic Shine Eraser Gel-To-Powder might not be an actual filter — but the results just might have people doing a double take IRL.

If the phrase “Raisin Rage” instantly conjures images of chokers, slip dresses, and Winona Ryder in Reality Bites, then buckle up, because the 1990s are calling — and they still have the best lipstick. The cult favorite that is Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raisin Rage is quietly making a comeback on Amazon, and yes, it’s just $6.

This moody, burgundy-brown shade practically screams 90s cool girl, but in a way that somehow still works in 2025. One reviewer summed it up perfectly: “Want a trip to the 90s? This will do it in the best way possible. Such a great color. And pretty long wearing.” The formula’s silky, hydrating finish means you can rewatch all of Felicity without your lips flaking off halfway through.

What makes this throwback lipstick worth a spot in your makeup bag today? For starters, it’s got an ultra-creamy formula that glides on without any mess, thanks to its 80% conditioning base. As one fan with pale skin and red hair explained, “After years of juggling endless shades of lipstick… I found Raisin Rage and now it is the only one I use. I have a tube in most of my handbags, carry-on and stashed in every bathroom.”

But this sultry lip color’s real superpower might be its versatility. “It’s a deep burgundy brown shade on the stick, but with a light touch can go on as a sheer cinnamon rose tint…with a heavy hand, the shade you see on the stick is what’s on your lips,” one shopper wrote. Basically, Raisin Rage can go from office to goth poetry night without breaking a sweat — or drying you out, thanks to those microfine pigments that deliver bold color minus the cakey feel.

“I wear this color with approximately 98% of my outfits,” one reviewer wrote. Raisin Rage is the shade that goes with everything and still manages to feel like a statement.

TL;DR: It’s moody. It’s nostalgic. It’s $6. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to try Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Raisin Rage, this is it. Grab one (or five) before it sells out — again.

Sometimes, the hardest part of doing your makeup is dealing with the endless blending and layering of multiple concealers to tackle different concerns, like acne scars or dark under-eye circles. Even when the shades match, concealers can sometimes appear flat or settle into creases, leaving your skin looking dull. Budget-savvy beauty shoppers are swearing by Nyx Bare With Me Concealer Serum for giving their skin a glowy, flawless finish. In fact, several shoppers compare it to high-end options like Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, saying it gives them comparable coverage at a fraction of the price. 

“Omgggg, I’m obsessed with this concealer,” one happy customer shared in their review. “It wears so beautifully under the eyes, it doesn’t dry out or look crepey as the day goes on. It keeps my under eyes looking hydrated and fresh. I almost think this is a [lookalike] for the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer because it wears almost exactly the same — and it’s half the price!” At just $12, Nyx Bare With Me Concealer Serum is turning skeptics into believers.

Another fan loves how lightweight the multitasking concealer feels while still delivering serious coverage. “This concealer is a must-buy!” they said. “When I tell you this product will have your face looking flawless to the point that you don’t need foundation… It’s light and blends very well! Order this today!” The secret? A hydrating formula powered by tremella mushroom, cica, and green tea to brighten and calm your skin while keeping it feeling fresh — not cakey or dry.

Even makeup pros can’t stop raving about this serum concealer. A makeup artist shared, “I have some texture under my eyes so I have a really hard time finding concealers that work well for me and don’t cake up… My skin looks FLAWLESS — literally NO TEXTURE at all!!!” 

If you’ve been searching for an affordable concealer that does it all without compromise, shoppers have made it clear — this lightweight concealer might be the one. Why not take the plunge and see if Nyx Bare With Me Concealer Serum lives up to the hype? A flawless complexion for $12? Sounds worth trying to us!

Earlier this month, Wayne Gretzky’s daughter Paulina Gretzky made headlines for a springtime version of an LBD, but now, she’s rocking a classic LBD (and it has fans going wild)!

In case you missed it, on June 6, Paulina shared a moody, chic snapshot of herself rocking a new look. Now, we know Paulina isn’t afraid to try new things with her style, and now, she’s embracing the “Audrey Hepburn vibes” of her latest look.

You can see the photo from her Instagram story post HERE before time runs out!

Now, in the photo, which you can also see on her ShopLTK, we can see that she’s channeling the more timeless and elegant looks, wowing in a Lucia Velvet LBD from Nana Jacqueline. This not only gives off the elegant vibes in the front, but like a mullet: it’s all party in the back, which totally goes with Paulina’s bold style.

In the look, we also see that she rocked a little silver purse from Rabanne, and Michael Kors Kasia Crackled Metallic Leather Sandals.

Not only is this giving us all the LBD inspo, but we’re dying to see more of Paulina do a spin on old Hollywood stars’ looks!

We’ve seen the mother-of-two rock Barbiecore to summer chic, all of which she knows how to turn heads in. In an interview with Kind Magazine, she talked about how she realized the power of self-love.

“I was stuck in this, ‘What is Paulina Gretzky going to do?’ But like, I don’t always know and it’s OK to not know—not many of us do—but at the same time, I like who I am—I love who I am—and I’m ready to venture out now,” she said. “Positive energy, surmounting roadblocks and just thinking about How to Be Happy, especially for women. I feel like women can be our own harshest critics and everyone wants to tear us apart, but sometimes we do it to each other. I’ve learned over time that it’s OK to be upset. Let’s just process it in a healthy way.”

Friends, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that POP MART secretly restocked Labubu’s earlier this week — and if you’re like this writer, chances are the site crashed on you, and you couldn’t get one. But I do have good news! The toy company is officially restocking its most highly coveted launch tonight at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET ahead of the weekend (FYI, you can see the new “launch date” on the app and get notified of the drop). And if you’re on a mission to secure one by (almost) any means necessary, you’ve come to the right place. After missing out twice this week, I’ve dug around to find out all the ways to secure one, and since we never gatekeep over here, of course, I had to share. 

Tonight’s Labubu restock is from the latest THE MONSTER collection, the “Big Into Energy” series. For good reason, this capsule has been all any Labubu fans could talk about. The series features six different colored monsters representing various emotions and characteristics, such as love and loyalty, with a rare seventh secret edition that’s super hard to come by. But considering how difficult it is to get Labubus in general, regardless of a secret edition, POP MART has decided to make this Big Into Energy restock available for in-store pickup only. So, if you too are frustrated with bots stealing your chance at scoring a Labubu, here’s an opportunity with better odds.

However, if you don’t live near a POP MART store, your next best bet on getting a Big Into Energy blind box is to try Amazon. POP MART has an official storefront on the retailer’s site that will often restock Labubu’s after the website does. But suppose you want to try your hand at scoring other Labubu toys aside from the latest bag charms. In that case, POP MART is dropping a new THE MONSTERS series, called Wacky Mart, that features figurines of our favorite monsters covered in some of the yummiest snacks, like a cup of noodles.

Below are some helpful tips to secure your new Labubu during this restock.

Our Best Tips for (Successfully) Buying a Labubu Online

1. Use your mobile device instead of a desktop. According to one Reddit user, yeehawbirb, it’s best to use the POP MART app instead of the desktop website. 
2. Log in two minutes before the drop. Tonight’s Labubu drop is set to happen at 10 pm EST/7 pm PST. This Reddit user claims the drops occur on the dot exactly, and it’s best to be signed in beforehand so you don’t miss out *Amazon Pro Tip* Keep this link open around the same time and check regularly to see if and when they restock on Amazon. 
3. Have your form of payment ready. As a sneakerhead who often waits in intense queues to secure a pair, I know firsthand how fumbling with your credit card information at checkout could be the thing that stops you from making your precious purchase, so if you can save your card info in your phone or have it with you ready to go. 
4. Check Kicks Crew. After the restock, there’s a chance the prices on reseller sites like Kicks Crew will have Labubu’s for less. 

Good luck!

In the few months leading up to childbirth, you may find yourself wanting to capture every last bit of your bump era on camera. Rather than stick to just selfies, many expecting mamas book a maternity photoshoot to encapsulate these last moments with their growing baby.

What a Stylist Recommends to Wear to a Maternity Photoshoot

There are a few things to consider when shopping for a maternity photoshoot dress, the first being what time of year you’re taking said photos. Think warm for fall and winter, cool for summer, and somewhere in between for spring, depending on where you live. You want to dress accordingly for the weather, specifically if your vision includes outdoor snapshots.

Speaking of vision, what do you want your photos to look like? Do you have a setting (i.e. indoor or outdoor, beach or park) or a vibe (traditional or modern, romantic or whimsical) in mind?  These key details will help set the tone as you shop as they widdle down your options to a niche look.

Regarding the actual dress, Stitch Fix M.O.M Stylist Jillian Obarski tells SheKnows that fit and fabrication should be top of mind. She often suggests clients looking for styles with an empire waist, which cinches right under the bust, highlights the smallest part of your torso and provides plenty of room for your growing bump. But, if you’re opting for a bump-friendly, non-maternity dress, Obarski recommends sticking with styles like wrap dresses, A-line dresses, and maxi dresses. Stretchy materials, she says, are also key – think jersey or spandex blends that hug your curves and highlight your bump.

Lastly, your maternity photoshoot dress should make you feel good, inside and out. Dressing comfortably should be the goal throughout your pregnancy (when mama is at ease, so is baby!), but this is especially vital during your maternity photoshoot. You want to associate the experience with fond memories rather than with how the fabric of your dress was too restrictive, heavy, or itchy.

Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do.

BEST FOR REWEARING AFTER PREGNANCY

Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress

$178

“One of my go-to special occasion dresses is my Ellie Nap Dress by Hill House Home,” says Gina Vaynshteyn, senior commerce director. “It’s splurge-y, but the beauty of it is that it’ll likely fit you (and look good—that’s always the catch!) at nine months as well post-pregnancy (including right after). I’m nearing eight months, and my Ellie looks really pretty and fits beautifully, and it’s a dress I used to wear a ton before getting pregnant.”

The dress’s bodice is elastic and has really generous stretch, while the tiered skirt is quite billow-y. On the Hill House website, it’s even labeled as being “pregnancy and breastfeeding-friendly” due to its construction, as well as its soft fabric. Another nice thing about it, is thanks to the smocking and gentle material, you can likely wear this sans bra, which, if you’re pregnant, is a god-send for that sore bust.

The design is also just really pretty, and really timeless—it went viral in 2020 (and continues to be a best-seller) for a good reason! And whether you wear it on your maternity shoot, baby shower, or to work, just keep in mind that, true to its name, it does make for an excellent nap uniform.

BEST LONG SLEEVE

Bumpsuit The Monica Dress

$155

Buy Now

The second this author announced her pregnancy on social media, she was flooded with advertisements for Bumpsuit – one of the most stylish, yet minimalistic maternity brands by far. The Monica Dress is a best-seller and an especially popular maternity photoshoot dress. It comes in four colors – black, ivory, dusty pink, and powder blue – so you can choose something gender-specific or neutral, and a maxi design complete with a slide slit, long sleeves, and a turtleneck. The only major caveat reviewers note is the dress’s length is a little too long if you’re on the shorter side, but that detail is nothing a quick stop into the tailor or a good pair of heeled boots can’t fix.

Sizes available: XXS – XL
Colors: 4 (Black, Ivory, Dusty Pink, Powder Blue)
Material: 97% Polyester, 3% Spandex
