Sephora’s aisles just got sexier — and not just because of a red-hot, look-at-me lipstick or lash-lengthening, come-hither mascara. Female-founded sexual wellness brand Maude launched today at the hallowed beauty retailer’s digital storefront — an arousing (!) new partnership that represents the convergence of two sworn-by, reader-endorsed brands; along with a decisive step into the increasingly mainstream pleasure category for the legacy beauty retailer.

“We are honored to be partnering with Sephora as one of the hero brands launching their intimacy category,” Maude founder and CEO Éva Goicochea tells Refinery29. “For us, Sephora’s audience and dedication to beauty and wellness … made them a crucial partner in Maude’s continued expansion.” (The brand added Canada, Australia, and Europe to its international e-commerce shipping destinations earlier this year.) Maude’s in great company, too — fellow reader-fave, female-founded brand sex-toy maker Dame also arrived on Sephora’s virtual shelves today. “Being in Sephora as a part of their community is such a [milestone] in letting me know that we’re changing the way the [sexual] category is understood,” Dame’s Alexandra Fine told Glossy.

As longtime Most Wanted readers know, Maude was founded in 2018 with the mission of creating elevated products designed with human intimacy in mind — minus the garish bells and whistles that may have turned the modern woman off to a traditional toy. The Vibe, the brand’s inaugural product, is a cone-shaped, flutter-tip vibrator that defied everything we thought sex toys were — loud, both figuratively and aesthetically, and not necessarily the chicest things on our nightstand. “Maude‘s product line was developed with the idea of routine in mind — sex essentials for different moments of intimacy in your life,” Goicochea explains of her company’s powerful, aesthete-friendly tools. “I think that will resonate strongly with Sephora’s client — multi-use, ingredient-focused formulas that are fairly priced.”

For now, you can shop 20 of Maude‘s most iconic products at Sephora.com, ranging from the aforementioned industry-disrupting Vibe to their can’t-keep-it-in-stock organic lube. (All topical products — lubes, oils, massage candles, bath soaks, body washes, etc. — are Clean At Sephora-certified, meaning they’re free from an extensive list of potentially harmful ingredients and have less than 1% undisclosed synthetic fragrance.) Another big plus: Being able to restock your favorite foundation and sensual body oil all within the same haul — and gain those all-important Beauty Insider points with your order.

We’re sharing a highlight reel of our Maude favorites below, but watch this space for more information on Sephora’s rapidly expanding Intimate Care section. According to Maude founder Goicochea, today’s launch is just the beginning: “Our relationship with Sephora will definitely grow, and we are excited to bring this category to their client.”

Whether you’re casually Lululemon-curious or are perpetually clad head-to-toe in the brand’s legendary Align fabric, you probably know that there’s a pretty constant stream of new colorways dropping on Lulu’s ever-rotating dot-com. What doesn’t happen all the time, however, is the arrival of a hue that so deeply resonates with the community that it earns its own name recognition on social media, Reddit message boards, and website reviews alike. Real heads will remember the great Water Drop frenzy of 2021, which hinged (presciently) on a pale, vaguely blue-ish shade of lavender reminiscent of Very Peri, Pantone’s color of the year. (My own current color crush — which I’m wearing as I type — is Everglade Green.) The latest hue that’s causing a disturbance in the Lulu-verse? Pink Blossom, a pitch-perfect shade of classic flowery pink that’s hitting our eyeballs just right.

“I was worried about the pink looking VERY pink but it’s actually very subdued and pretty,” wrote customer Lululors11 of a Break a Trail jacket in the cheerful shade. “Love the pink!!!”, exclaimed reviewer Cbaker526 of their recently purchased Like A Cloud sports bra. “New [fave] Lulu bra!!!” Of their cropped Align tank, hokagirlie wrote: “I’m not normally a pink girl, but I saw this top in pink and knew I had to try it and I love it!” Of the same top, Meowcat wrote that “the pink is gorgeous” and Cindy48 chimed in: “Got this in pink, love it!”

It’s hard to say what’s behind the frenzy, but aura interpreter Rachelle Terry told MindBodyGreen last year that “pink is associated with the heart chakra” and “[exemplifies] kindness, care and love” — something we all could use a little more of as we ride out another pandemic-stricken winter. One thing is for certain: once a colorway achieves cult status among the brand’s fanbase, it’s pretty common for the shade in question to fly off the shelves in the blink of an eye. However, there are still a few rose-colored finds in the online mix, so we’ve scooped up the still-in-stock Pink Blossom styles perfect for blasting your winter doldrums into the sunset.

Energy Bra, $52

Lululemon’s iconic Energy Bra  — a personal favorite of mine — features moderate support without sacrificing style and comfort. Another highlight: It’s versatile enough to take you from the yoga mat to more intense training.

Align Waist-Length Tank Top, $58 $49

Align tanks have emerged as a favorite item — and it’s easy to see why: they’re buttery-soft, beyond comfortable, and perfect for everyday lounging.

Cardio Cross Trainer Headband, $14

If you want a piece of Pink Blossom that won’t break the bank, you can’t go wrong with this under-$20 workout headband perfect for keeping flyaways out of the way during your most intense gym sessions.

Flow Y Nulu Bra, $42

From downward dogs to crow pose, this racerback bra is perfect for keeping you supported and comfortable during your yoga practice.

Power Pivot Ribbed Tank Top, $58

This reversible tank top can be worn two ways: The first, a high boat-neck style, and the other, a stylish V-neck plunge.

Break A Trail Jacket, $248

This waterproof rain jacket is lightweight and breezy enough for outdoor jogs, and features signature Lululemon upgrades like thumbholes, zippered pockets, and reflective panels.

Love Tank Top, $38

You can’t go wrong with an easy, airy tank top made of soft Pima cotton — especially in this rosy hue.

Swiftly Tech Short Sleeve Shirt 2.0, $68

This seamless, breathable tee with mesh detailing is perfect for keeping you looking and feeling cool during your run.

When it comes to falsies, I’ll admit that for years I sat the trend out — as a beauty accessory, they felt a little too glammy and high-may for the more natural, modern approach that I prefer when making up my face. That was, until more recently, when more sophisticated, bespoke styles in a variety of lengths (and hair colors!) entered the fold. Another niche within the false-lash world that’s been confidently picking up steam over the past few years: Magnetic lashes.

ICYMI, the idea behind magnetic lashes is that in lieu of glue, teeny-tiny magnets sandwich your natural lashes to bind two bands of falsies together. Other types of magnetic lash technology use magnetic liquid eyeliner (applied as you normally would to the upper lash line) to create a surface onto which a strip or cluster of magnetic lashes can grip to. It’s pretty nifty stuff. Glamnetic specializes in the latter, and offers a veritable library of lash styles ranging from subtle to traffic-stopping.

Thanks to my lash-endowed parents, I have naturally long, dark lashes that usually require a bit of mascara and not much else. That said, I myself have discovered the joy of false lashes, especially in an above-the-mask world. There’s nothing like a little eyelid boost to make me feel more glam and put-together. With that in mind, I gravitated towards three shorter-length Glamnetic styles: Livin’, Honey, and (shocker, for this September-born writer) Virgo. The “my-lashes-but-better” look is very much my style, and these definitely fit the bill while offering a hint of drama.

If the idea of magnets millimeters away from your eyeballs sounds scary, not to fret! As long as you follow the instructions and proper care, magnetic lashes are very safe to use. “I don’t think there is an increased risk in magnetic false lashes in particular, however, false eyelashes, in general, can increase the occurrence of blepharitis — a condition on the eyelashes where there is a buildup of oil, bacteria, and debris on the lash line that can irritate the eye and ocular surface,” explains board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Jennifer Loh, MD. “When a person is wearing false eyelashes, blepharitis has a tendency to build up along the base of the eyelash and is difficult to clean and remove.” Her suggestion for false lash lovers: Be sure to thoroughly clean your eyelid post-use to show buildup the door. (A pre-moistened eyelid wipe like Ocusoft is great for this.)

For the purposes of this review, Glamnetic sent me three pairs of lashes, an applicator tool, plus versions of the magnetic liquid liner: A felt tip pen and a brush-tip. While I consider myself more than capable with liquid liner, I definitely thrive in the land of felt-tip for control and ease of application. I went with that one first and applied it close to my lash line as I normally would and let it get mostly dry. Then I wielded the Glamnetic Lash Grab to pick up and position the lash near my eyes. (You can probably use tweezers to do this, but the elongated shape and tapered end of the Lash Grab definitely helped a lot.)

For my first lash try-on, I went with Livin’. From looking at the box, it was the most subtle of the three, and I was putting these on mostly to look cute on Zoom. My first step with false lashes of any kind: Trim them to fit your unique eye shape! Unless you’re working with individuals or clusters, a strip lash will almost always be improved in terms of both fit and appearance by getting a little haircut. Another option: Trying a demi- or half-lash, which are actually my favorite shape of false lashes. (I loved Glamnetic’s Honey style, which created a cat-eye effect since they’re applied on the outer half of the eye.)

Since this was my first time trying magnetic lashes, I kind of expected it to not work. To my surprise and delight, they gripped right on without a hitch. Since falsies are very hard to nail on the first go, a little adjusting is totally normal — and magnetic lashes make this step super easy. Once applied, you can easily remove or nudge them along your lash line without having to start from scratch. Honestly, it’s a total game-changer — and the best thing about magnetic lashes, IMO. Since the ends of the lashes can have the tendency to curl up, Glamnetic includes magnetic anchors (which look like an individual lash with a magnetized base) to sandwich the lash at each end.

For the rest of the day, I’m not gonna lie — I felt pretty cute! The lashes didn’t feel like too much for a day of WFH and running errands, but definitely added definition to my eyes. They didn’t scream, “Hi world, I’m wearing false lashes RN!” but instead looked more like my favorite Instagram beauty filter.

Next up, I tried the Virgo lash on a day I was wearing glasses. (In my first try-on, I was wearing contacts.) In the interest of switching things up, I tried the brush-on liquid liner to see if there was a noticeable difference in wearability and ease of removal. The brush-on formula definitely requires a steadier hand, so keep that in mind if you’re not a whiz with liquid liner. (It was, however, significantly easier to remove — which gets many extra points in my book.) But back to the main event: While the Livin’ lashes gave more of a subtle, wispy effect, Virgo was more of a round strip, which creates an overall appearance of more voluminous lashes. TBH, I thought they were a little much at first (for me, not in general), but with my glasses on? Fully obsessed. Last up, I tried the Honey half lashes. These were by far the most subtle of the group, which I loved. Not to mention, they were slightly easier to apply since I only had to fit them onto the outer half of my eye. With all three styles, I probably wore them for around five hours, but Glamnetic says the lash-and-liner combo can hold up to 10 hours.

Final Thoughts

I was fully expecting to not love magnetic lashes, but I’d be lying if I weren’t impressed. My only cons are that they’re not as subtle as conventional lashes (especially ones with an invisible strip) and that these are significantly more expensive than entry-level falsies. (According to Glamnetic’s site, their pairs can be worn up to 30 times with proper care, which includes cleaning off eyeliner residue post-use.) However, the ease and sheer fun factor of magnetic lashes can’t be denied, either. For that reason, I can’t wait to make them a more frequent addition to my glam game.

Try as I might, I’ve just never been a DIY kinda gal. I’m not particularly gifted in the arts and crafts department, so recently when a bowl I bought didn’t survive the journey in checked luggage, I didn’t think twice before taking the L and bagging it up to be discarded.

However, something didn’t let me throw away the pieces just yet. Being the overthinking Virgo I am, I re-examined them and thought to myself, Hey, these actually fit together pretty okay. Maybe not all is lost?

Once the wheels started turning, I began to visualize gluing the pieces back together using kintsugi, the centuries-old technique of mending broken pieces with gold glue. (Historically, sap from an indigenous Japanese tree was used, but nowadays epoxy glue seems to work pretty well.) The repaired pottery showcases the damage beautifully rather than hiding it while also rescuing something that might otherwise be discarded. I loved the idea of not having something go to waste. This is a core Japanese value — as a kid, my grandmother used to tell me that if I didn’t eat every last grain of rice in my bowl, my eyes would be sealed shut the next time I went to sleep. Chill vibes!

Anyway, back to me and my shattered bowl. After searching online for a quality, relatively affordable kit, I settled on a highly-rated Etsy find by Netherlands-based seller MoraApproved. At under $30 (including shipping), it came with a vial of epoxy glue, a small pot of non-toxic pigment in your choice of color (I went with traditional gold), a small brush, wooden mixing sticks, plastic gloves, and an instruction postcard.

MoraApproved DIY Kintsugi Kit, $30.97 $21.68

It took about two to three weeks for my kit to arrive (which was fine by me since I wasn’t in a rush), so keep that in mind when ordering. As you can see in the image above, everything arrived neatly encased in a slim cardboard box — no unnecessary bells and whistles. The seller offers an optional add-on of a small porcelain heart to practice before tackling your project. I passed, which ended up making the stakes higher when I sat down to start in on piecing my bowl back together. It took a while for me to get the hang of mixing the glue and gold powder together and applying it before the glue began to dry and solidify. In hindsight, I wish I had the extra piece to practice on beforehand. I’m more or else fine with my end results, though — perfection is overrated. I admittedly struggled a bit with not getting the glue everywhere on my bowl (and went through many more pairs of gloves since I got glue and powder on those, too), but that has nothing to do with the kit and everything to do with my user error.

After slowly gluing the pieces back together, I set the bowl upside down on the layer of newspaper I’d laid out on my counter. (This, BTW, is an essential step. I knocked over the gold powder towards the end of my kintsugi process and shudder to think of the mess it would’ve made.) I let it dry for a full 48 hours per the instructions before hand-washing it to remove any excess dust and glue. To my surprise and delight, the glue had set to a smooth, solid, brilliant shade of gold. (The bowl next to it was another that I ordered after the first one broke – now I have two!)

All in all, I couldn’t be more thrilled with my first-ever kintsugi piece. It may not look perfect, but the process of putting it back together was weirdly healing for me. I think part of kintsugi’s modern appeal isn’t just a win for sustainability; the idea that just because something is broken it isn’t rendered beyond repair is a beautiful metaphor for many of life’s ups and downs. (TBH, I think my kintsugi-ed bowl is an improvement on it’s original state.) It’s something I’ll personally be keeping in mind – especially the next time my butterfingers drop a cup or plate.

Quinoa — it’s an excellent ancient grain that we love to consume in bowls and dishes for a healthy, protein- and fiber-rich meal. But turns out, it’s also a powerhouse beauty ingredient that’s been quietly trending for years, popping up everything from hair-care products to hard-working night creams. “Although it is not quite as well-known in skincare as some fatty fruit oils like coconut and avocado, quinoa oil actually contains 30 times more omegas than coconut oil and four times more omegas than avocado oil,” says Dr. Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at the Shafer Clinic in New York City. “These healthy fats make quinoa oil really amazing for the health of the skin barrier, wound-healing, and reducing inflammation.” What’s more, the powerhouse ingredient also helps lock in hydration round-the-clock.

Curious about its purported benefits, I decided to take a top-rated grain-infused product for a spin to experience the protective benefits firsthand. Nativa SPA, a Brazilian beauty brand that recently launched stateside, is an authority on the so-called “golden grain”, offering a host of quinoa-powered skincare products, including a hydrating hand wash, face oil, and top-rated firming moisturizer. (Founder Miguel Krigsner patented a unique distillation process that extracts extra-pure oil for maximum skin-enriching power.) I decided to take the fan-favorite Quinoa Firming Body Lotion for an IRL spin to experience its (to paraphrase the words of one reviewer) “skin-soaking goodness” first-hand.

Nativa SPA Quinoa Firming Body Lotion, $25

While I tend to be very selective about what products I use on my face (mostly because I break out very easily), I’m less fussy about what I apply below the neck. That said, there’s nothing in this world more luxurious than fancy body products, and this certainly was that. Immediately, the texture of the lotion (not too heavy or thick, but not runny either) was very much my vibe. As much as I adore a decadent body butter, the truth is that they can sometimes be far too heavy for daytime wear — especially if I plan on putting on pants or leggings immediately afterwards.

However, Nativa SPA’s quinoa-infused lotion was the Goldilocks of the body lotion world: Light enough to quickly absorb into my arms and legs, but substantial enough that it actually kept my skin hydrated and soft for hours afterwards. I didn’t mind the scent (warm and vanilla-y), but if you’ve got sensitive or are trying to stick to clean products, then you may want to search for a fragrance-free alternative.

For a $25 lotion, the stuff lives in the world of nice but not unattainably so, yet a major step up from your average drugstore find. After a few weeks of testing, I can’t say whether or not the Brazilian beauty buy has made a major difference in the overall firmness of my skin, but as a moisturizer, it passes with flying colors. As this was the first product I tried from the Brazilian brand, I have to admit — it did make me feel a little more Gisele-like. (Bonus points for recycled plastic packaging and planet-friendly refill pouches.) Short of jaunting to sunny Rio — hopefully, one day! — this body lotion is the perfect beauty escape I’m craving this winter.

To say that the pandemic has thrown into sharp relief the very existence of what it means to be “well” would be the understatement of the year. With that in mind, a wellness-geared gift means that much more in times where we’re filled with hope and optimism (and booster shots), but not quite out of the COVID woods just yet.

And while it’s true, we love a bougie wellness buy just as much as anyone, the truth is that some of the most life-transformative wellness purchases I’ve made this year were squarely in the $20-50 range. (In other words, you can splurge on your wellness routine if you want, but it’s by no means a requirement.)

As a wellness writer, I have the unique privilege of testing out a ton of stuff — both inexpensive and wildly so — and while many of them are nice, but don’t really do…. anything.Having sussed out the best gems over the course of 2021, I’m here to share my findings on what’s actually worth spending on. Ahead, you’ll find the most positive, grounding wellness gifts, straight from my routine to yours.

OstrichPillow Light, $45

When I tell you that this magical circular pillow is the best thing that’s ever happened to my sleep routine, I mean it. For years, I’ve struggled with not being able to sleep anywhere that wasn’t a horizontal, bed-like environment (much to my demise during my annual 12-hour flights to Tokyo); however, this lightweight, squishy cloud pillow instantly creates a tranquil environment of calm, quiet nap conditions any time, any place.

Lord Jones Hemp-Derived CBD Tincture, $70

My two cents on CBD: Even if it’s just a placebo effect, if the ritual of it makes you feel better, then it’s still a win. I love adding this subtly minty tincture to herbal teas before bedtime for a soothing, relaxing moment of calm.

The Qi Ultimate Wellness Set, $155 $139.50

While the price is somewhat steep (heh), you do get a beautifully-designed glass teapot and four cups to enjoy a blissful cup with company. The included nine blooming flower tea sachets are a truly magnificent sight, not to mention delicious to sip.

Halfmoon Cotton Yoga Blanket, $46

Even if you don’t use it all that much, you probably have an old yoga mat (or three) lurking in some forgotten corner of your closet. Reinvigorate your practice — as I have in recent weeks — with this woven yoga blanket. In addition to helping with grip, there’s something really grounding about doing Warrior II on a cloth surface. (Plus, it’s roomy enough for partner poses as well, if that’s your thing.)

Casper Glow Night Light, $35 for two

Yes, I am including a night light — *for grownups* — in here because Casper’s version is a major game-changer. In addition to being a chic addition for any home, the backlit design softly diffuses the light so you’re not blinded by a bright bulb. Plus, it’s equipped with motion sensors so that it illuminates when you’re walking by for a midnight bathroom break before softly dimming back to black.

Positive Affirmation Pencils, $7

Talk about the best $7 spent. These positive affirmation pencils make for the perfect stocking stuffer for the fastidious, note-taking, journaling maven on your list.

Sakara Coconut Praline Granola, $16

I’m already a major fan of Sakara. Their cookbook has transformed my home-cooking game, and I drink their chlorophyll water drops every morning without fail. Next thing I plan on carting for myself and friends: Their limited-edition holiday granola, which is jam-packed with oats, pecans, and coconut for a delicious, nutty breakfast or snack.

The Nue Co Stress + Sleep Set, $45

Many melatonin supplements I’ve tried either induce me into a mini coma or give me nightmares (eek!), which is why The Nue Co.’s valerian root drops have been my sleep aid of choice for years now. I won’t be missing out on snapping up a full-size bottle with a miniature Functional Fragrance for a mood-boosting olfactory experience.

Cadence A Capsule A Day, $98 $86

I know — $90 for a travel pill case is a lot of money. But when I tell you that this has made traveling with my vitamins and prescription medication so easy, I mean it. This has become the first thing I pack for every trip — I didn’t travel without it once this year. The individual, magnetic jars make it easy to take a couple of days’ worth of pills (as opposed to an entire week), and you can even fill them with your skincare products to avoid packing full-size bottles.

Olly Hello Happy Gummy Supplements, $20

I’ll be totally honest here: I’m not entirely sure that these improved my mood from a neurochemical perspective, but that doesn’t mean I love them any less. I looked forward to taking these delicious, vitamin D-infused gummy worms every morning, and loved even more that I could readily stock up on them at my local Target.

Theragun Mini, $199

Last year, I gifted Theragun Minis to my sister and my boyfriend — and they both love the muscle-pummeling gadget more now than ever. This new, muted rose colorway is perfect for the design-minded giftee in your life.

WTHN Ear Seed Kit, $45

Add some holiday twinkle to your season with these gold and Swarovski crystal ear seeds that provide acupressure therapy while adding a subtle hint of bling.

Bathing Culture Golden Hour Hydrosol, $20

In the Before Times, I kept this mist by my desk at the office for mid-day face spritzes. Now, it’s earned a permanent spot on my WFH setup, where I mist my entire body for an instantly re-invigorated experience. Inhale clarity, exhale bad juju.

These days, your average product fiend could pit-stop anywhere on the beauty internet to shop a seemingly endless array of eyeshadow palettes, decadent hair potions, and luminous skin-care galore – but for a truly beautifying gift that celebrates diversity and heart while occupying space on the top self, we’re heading straight for Sephora‘s industry-leading assortment of Black-owned beauty brands.

Over a year ago, Sephora notably became the first major retailer to officially endorse the 15 Percent Pledge, thereby committing 15% of their brand assortment to Black-owned companies. “We know we have more work to do, and we encourage other businesses to take the Pledge and help drive change for Black businesses and communities,” the brand said via press release at the time of the announcement.

Since then, they’ve grown to carry over 20 Black-owned prestige brands, including cruelty-free cosmetics from makeup artist Danessa Myricks and Topicals, a science-backed skin-care brand. And let’s not forget hot-off-the-runway palettes from fashion-favorite Pat McGrath and complexion transformers from celebrity aesthetician Shani Darden. Sephora’s led the charge in representing (and offering ample shelf space, both IRL and online) to the best Black-owned beauty businesses across makeup, hair, skin care, and more — making them the perfect destination for all of your holiday shopping needs.

Ahead, we’re curating the most luxe, giftable sets and products on our wish lists right now.

Bread Hair Oil Everyday Gloss, $24

Not only is the packaging of Bread’s indulgent hair oil a solid 11/10, the liquid inside is worth its weight in gold; a few drops (aka one bottle will last you a long time) is all you need to instantly nourish dry strands.

Topicals Like Butter Mask for Dry, Sensitive & Eczema-Prone Skin, $32

Another feat of packaging design that’ll inspire shelfies galore is Topicals’s retro-inspired hydrating mask, which intensely soothes dry, irritated skin.

Shani Darden Retinol Reform, $88

Short of getting a facial at hands of Shani Darden herself, this stuff makes for a splurge-worthy present for any skin-care savant. After using a single bottle, I noticed visible improvements in texture and tone — it’s that good.

Fenty Beauty Glossy Posse: Fantasy 4Sum 4-Piece Gloss Bomb Set, $38
