This time of year, the at-home manicure takes care of two birds with one stone: You have a productive 30-minute indoor activity, and the end result is a glossy accessory you can show off on FaceTime or Zoom while working from home, waiting for the snow to thaw.
That said, if you're bored of all of your polishes (we're right there with you), it might be time to order a pack of nail-art stickers. Being that it's early February, may we suggest hearts? Not only are the teeny-tiny stickers festive, they're wearable well past the 14th, whenever you're looking for an elevated manicure that could pass for professional — even if you don't have any artistic inclinations.
Ahead, we scoured the internet to find the best heart-shaped nail stickers and press-ons. Scroll through to find your favorite.

Among her many notable accolades as an A-list actress, producer, and a self-described humanitarian, Priyanka Chopra just added “brand founder” to her resumé. For the past eighteen months, the star has been quietly incubating her own clean, sustainable, and affordable hair-care label, Anomaly, which launches at Target stores nationwide on February 1.
Even for the former Miss World, whose lustrous hair could convince us to splurge on whatever shampoo she’s using, the drugstore hair aisle has always felt needlessly overpriced. “I remember as a 15-year-old girl, I would go into Target or Walmart to buy my beauty products and I saw that the good hair stuff was really expensive,” Chopra recalled during a recent Zoom interview. “In creating this brand, it was really important to me that everyone to be able to purchase our products without it leaving a hole in their wallet, or on the earth.”
All eight Anomaly hair-care products — three shampoos, three conditioners, a dry shampoo, and a hair mask — cost $5.99 apiece, and they’re sustainable by design. “Our shampoo and conditioner bottles are made out of 100% plastic trash diverted from landfills,” Chopra says. “Our caps cost three cents, our bottle is the thinnest plastic you’ll see on the aisle, and everything’s recyclable. The idea was to reduce waste and spend as little as possible on packaging, so we had the ability to really spend on the actual product.”
As for the Anomaly products themselves, all of which are housed in chic transparent bottles, Chopra simply designed her dream assortment. “These hair products are my basic needs in real life,” she explains. “They’re the three kind of shampoos I reach for: a hydrating one for when my hair has been blow-dried or I’ve been using hot tongs on it; a gentle shampoo, which is great when I’m washing my hair every day; and a charcoal option for when I need a deep cleanse.”
Following any shampoo, Chopra reaches for either Anomaly’s Smoothing Conditioner or the deep-conditioning mask. “I have frizzy, coarse hair, so my favorite conditioner from the line is definitely the Smoothing one,” she says. “The argan oil and quinoa tame my hair naturally so it air-dries nicely with just a towel. I’ll do the deep-conditioner mask once or twice a week, and of course, everyone needs a dry shampoo, too. I mean, I’m not a professional when it comes to hair — I’m just an everyday girl, and this is really everything I need.”
While we’d sooner describe Chopra as an international household name than an everyday girl, you won’t find hers anywhere on the Anomaly label. “Anomaly, to me, is not about me — it’s about everyone else,” she says. “It’s a celebration of humanity, because we’re all special and unique, and having a great relationship with your hair and at the same time showing love to the world we live in.”

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 26: January Jones attends “The Politician” New York Premiere at DGA Theater on September 26, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Manny Carabel/WireImage)
January Jones objectively has incredible skin — plus, she’s a celebrity, so it comes as no big surprise that she uses expensive skin-care products. What she readily admits, though, is just how luxe her routine really is: If we were to put a price tag on the actress’s winter skin-care routine, the bill would come out to $3,409.
We know the exact four-digit figure because Jones just shared her current lineup to Instagram, posting every single product that she applies to her face and body each day. “I mix things up (and often mix things together), but this is what’s been working for me lately,” the actress — who’s become something of a social-media sensation over the past year as she’s documented her highly relatable stir-craziness during the pandemic — captioned her product post. “I realize it seems excessive/expensive,” she acknowledges, “but my routines keep me sane, and good skin is an investment in yourself.“
To that point, Jones’ product lineup is comprised of eighteen total products, which she further segments into four categories: morning, body, washing/toning/cleansing, and evening. At a quick glance, some of her favorite labels include iS Clinical, Tata Harper, True Botanicals, Allies of Skin, Shani Darden, and the high-end French skin-care brand Sisley-Paris.
On the flip side, the most extravagant products are the two Sisley-Paris formulas that make up 1/3 of the total cost of Jones’ nighttime skin routine; both the serum and the baume will run you $810 apiece. Sure, the star’s list of go-tos isn’t exactly accessible for the average person, but there’s something comforting about an actress being 100% candid about the true cost of perfect skin — it’s much more helpful than crediting “just lots of water.”

Jennifer Aniston just put out a social-media PSA confirming that she’s back to work on the set of The Morning Show. To mark the celebratory return to some semblance of normalcy, the actress posted an Instagram selfie from her makeup trailer looking fresh-faced and excited — and having an incredible hair day.
Upon further inspection, the brighter blonde refresh makes perfect sense, as Aniston shared her good selfie lighting with her go-to hairstylist, Chris McMillan, who — from the looks of Aniston’s bright, buttery-blonde babylights — may have hit her strands with a little peroxide before the shot.
If Aniston’s smile is any indication, she’s happy to be back to work, and also likely not mad about being all glammed up. If anything, it proves that a cold and miserable late January might just be the ideal time to book a safely-masked appointment with your colorist, make like Jennifer Aniston, and go a few shades blonder.

If you considered bangs, pink highlights, or found yourself Googling "tiny tattoos" at some point during the year 2020, chances are you've toyed with the idea of a new ear piercing, too. The psychology is pretty intuitive: Many of us are itching for a change, and a permanent one is especially tempting.
But as states continue to enforce strict salon restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19, the days of walking into your local tattoo parlor or piercing studio with your sister and getting quickie cartilage piercings are over. Instead, you'll have to make a solo appointment with a professional well in advance, affording you extra time to think about what you want — which might actually save you from future piercing regret.
So, in the spirit of planning for future piercings, we spoke with Brain Keith Thompson, celebrity piercer and the owner of L.A.'s Body Electric studio (which is currently closed due in accordance with California public-health mandates), and he gave us some of his favorite ear-decor predictions for the new year and beyond. Scroll through for the coolest trend report you've seen in a while.
Constellations
Right before the most recent mandated salon shutdown in California, Thompson says he was booking safe, single-client appointments, mostly for constellation piercings. "I was seeing a lot of constellation piercings — which is multiple piercings clustered together — and I feel the trend will definitely stick around," Thompson explains. "It's a great option if you're looking to get a few piercings in a single appointment; you get that instant gratification."
Huggie Hoops
In terms of earring styles, Thompson says there are two trending pieces, both small and dainty: gold hoops and teeny-tiny diamond studs. Of the former, it's huggie or bust. "It's funny, I had never heard the word 'huggie' until all my clients started asking for them," he says. "It's in reference to tight-fitting, snug, mini hoops — and truly, everyone wants stacks of huggies right now."
Micro Studs
When it comes to diamonds, or micro pavé settings, the smaller, the better. "I'm usually piercing with very small diamond studs," Thompson says. "I'm not doing a lot of very extravagant, large pieces, like I once was. I see the trend towards a dainty, minimalistic ear look. It's about a lot of tiny diamonds instead of one big one."
Lobe Placement
It's impossible to talk about piercing trends in 2021 without mentioning face masks, which secure around your ears. "Given that we'll be wearing face coverings at least until the end of the year, I'm letting clients know that cartilage piercings might not be the best idea," Thompson explains of the 2021 move towards earlobe-exclusive piercings. "When you're piercing your cartilage and that mask is coming on and off, it might cause irritation. But lobe piercings a lot are easier to avoid, and they heal a lot faster."
Ear Asymmetry
If you're going in for a new piercing (or three), Thompson recommends treating each ear individually. "I like to decorate the ears completely different from each other," he explains. "So on one side might be all gold hoops, stacked together. The other side would be a mix of small studded diamonds. I love any kind of asymmetrical decoration." Think of your ears as sisters — not twins.

Following the news of her reported breakup with Ben Affleck, actress Ana de Armas just revealed a very drastic change to her look. Call it a breakup cut or simply a chic Parisian bob that hits the sweet spot between fresh and classic in style, but the 32-year-old star looks nothing like she did the last time she was seen out in public with Affleck in L.A.
Returning to her family home in Cuba, de Armas wasted no time booking a hair appointment, chopping her formerly long, wavy brunette hair into a jawline-skimming bob with blunt baby bangs, and taking the color a few shades darker. The Cuban-Spanish actress debuted the look on January 17in a video honoring her friend Claudia Muma, which was later posted to YouTube. De Armas comes onto the screen at about 1 hour and 24 minutes into the recording, reciting a sweet dedication and giving her fans and friends a live-action look at her freshly-chopped and toned French-girl bob.
De Armas complemented her new cut and color with an equally chic ensemble of a simple white V-neck T-shirt, minimalist jewelry, subtle winged eyeliner to enhance her hazel eyes, and a flush of pink on her cheeks and lips. Relationship rumors aside, we have to say: This single low-resolution screenshot of de Armas could launch an entire Pinterest board of style and beauty inspiration for Zoom meetings in 2021.

Draining a beauty product to the last drop is bittersweet. While it’s annoying that you’re out of what you need at the moment, chances are that you really liked whatever shampoo or body lotion you just tapped enough to blow through the entire thing without and switching to something better (or at least newer). Plus, you’re saved the hassle of browsing this time around; all you have to do is Google the name on the faded label and reorder a new, topped-up bottle.
But before you do, it’s fun to look at what you’ve emptied, because there’s something about your fancy $72 moisturizer — scooped-out and well-loved — that’s visually satisfying in its juxtaposition. For proof, we’ve compiled a photo gallery of empty bottles, tubes, and oil droppers, pulled directly out of our beauty editors’ recycling bins. Scroll through to see the beauty products we loved well through quarantine, and read the corresponding reviews to learn which ones we’ve already restocked for the new year.
Aimee Simeon, Senior Beauty Writer
“There are three areas in the hair department that I don’t compromise on: a good deep conditioner, a reliable edge control, and nourishing hair oil. I love that this Mielle formula conditions and softens my curls while soothing my scalp at the same damn time. It’s worth keeping a few jars stocked in your at-home inventory. I’ve also gone through bottles of Mielle’s Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In Conditioner, which keeps my curls frizz-free and hydrated long after I leave the shower.
“Once the deep conditioning is said and done, having an edge control to help keep all of my styles — from buns to box braids — intact is essential. I’ve gone through too many of these Murray’s jars to count and love that it provides all-day hold without causing crunch or flakiness. I also love SheaMoisture’s avocado oil for my hair and body; it’s slightly thicker than coconut oil and keeps my skin and hair hydrated longer — which is especially clutch in the winter.”
“You’ll never catch me without a rose-toned lip color, and this Glossier tube in the shade Pony is hands down one of my favorite shades ever. The creamy formula goes on like butter and deeply hydrates my lips. The color is the perfect ‘my lips but better’ tint of neutral pink that looks great with or without a full face of makeup. I’ve gone through more than one tube of this; it’s seriously that good. [Editor’s Note: Glossier Vinylic Lip was discontinued as of January 4, 2021.] When I do opt for a full-face, this Dr. Jart primer keeps my skin smooth and soft — never dry or flaky — down to the last drop.”
Megan Decker, Beauty Editor
“My eyes and skin have been especially dry and sensitive since I’ve been isolating throughout the pandemic. I’ve been keeping a trusty bottle of Visine next to my laptop, popping a few drops into my eyes when I’ve been looking at my screen for too many hours or I notice the whites are looking red and veiny. I also love the Lumify Eye Drops, but they’re a bit more expensive, so I save those for special occasions.
“To make my post-shower routine a little bit more luxe, I’ve been using the Mutha Body Oil, which makes my skin feel soft as actual silk (justifying the $100 price tag, in my opinion). I also like to double down on the eye cream — or, in this case, the lightweight tightening eye gel by Dr. Loretta — which had the skin around my eyes noticeably brighter and less crepe-y by the time I drained the tube.”
“Another workday staple is the Caudalíe Beauty Elixir; one mist gives my face a dewy refresh when I’m feeling dull and my reflection in the mirror co-signs. I’ve also been very into simple, straightforward “capsule collection” skin-care products, and epi.logic’s Master Plan is the perfect white T-shirt serum: a clear, unscented gel that gives my skin a boost of hydration morning or night, or whenever. If I’m actually trying to do it up, I might put on some eyeliner and mascara. The best liquid eyeliner formula I’ve ever used that literally does not budge from your lash line is Benefit’s Roller Liner; I use the brown shade… or I did.”
Thatiana Diaz, Senior Editor & Beauty Contributor
“I live for a good body moisturizer, and I would never let a day go by without using one as part of my post-shower routine. This option from CeraVe is an O.G. favorite that has never let me (or my wallet) down, and for that reason, I always keep a jar stocked in my beauty arsenal. As for my Pattern shampoo, there’s just something about a no-frills formula that simply does what it’s supposed to do. The gentle lather leaves me with a clean yet hydrating finish, and with the added bonus of no strong fragrances — my favorite quality in a shampoo — I had no problem squeezing out every ounce.”
“I’m all about a clean slate, and I love when I find products that provide me with that feeling of refresh. These makeup-removing pads from Garnier remove any trace of waterproof mascara, eyeliner, or bulletproof falsies glue. There’s no need for tugging and pulling, and I appreciate anything that makes taking off the day that much easier.
“While charcoal sounded scary initially, this Briogeo shampoo made me a believer. I’ve never felt my scalp so clean — and that’s essential when it comes to removing curly hair products that tend to feel heavy. I’ve had bad experiences with exfoliating treatments leaving me with a dry scalp, but this leaves me with that fresh feeling without any residual tightness or itch. In that same vein of clean skin, I’ve been trying to tackle breakouts before they make it to the surface. That’s why I always have a pot of this spot lotion from Renée Rouleau at the ready for whenever I feel a breakout cooking.”
Andrea Cheng, Senior Beauty Editor, Branded Content
“Whenever I’m stressed, anxious, or sleep-deprived, I invariably break out, which happened a lot during quarantine. I never really understood the science behind it until Dr. Dennis Gross — the mastermind behind the beauty industry’s favorite derm-created skin-care brand — launched a line dedicated to repairing and healing stressed-out skin, including a Stress Repair Face cream and serum, both of which are so good that I did everything I could to stretch them out for as long as possible. These products are chock full of antioxidants and nutrients — like green juice for your skin — that address every stress-induced flare-up, like reducing redness, calming breakouts, and injecting moisture.
“Another product I finished: Vitabrid’s Vitamin C12 Dual Drop Serum. I’ve tried so, so many vitamin C serums, and I’ve encountered some that are tacky to the touch, leaving skin sticky for hours, and others that are heavily perfumed. This one isn’t sticky nor smelly; it’s light, so it can be layered easily under a moisturizer; and it’s supremely effective at fading areas of hyperpigmentation and stubborn dark spots.”
“Vicky Tsai, the founder of Tatcha, once told me she suffered from acute dermatitis and couldn’t find any beauty products that were gentle enough for her skin — until she launched her clean beauty brand. Her story resonated with me because I had lip dermatitis, and it wasn’t until I started using the Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask that I was finally able to wear lipstick again. This mask, which looks like pink jelly and formulated with a bunch of hydrators and antioxidants, cured my dermatitis, so I can’t praise Tatcha enough for creating skin care that actually works. Since then, I’ve gone through tubs of Tatcha’s lip mask (I’m on my third one), jars of its best-selling skin cream, and bottles of the brand’s essence.”

Last year, Sephora commissioned a large-scale national survey to measure the issue of racial bias experienced by U.S. retail shoppers. The Racial Bias in Retail study was conducted over the course of the 2019-2020 calendar year, and entailed comprehensive qualitative and quantitative research, including academic literature reviews and cultural insights.
The results — which Sephora has made publicly available to all retailers nationwide — uphold the fact that racial bias is a pervasive issue in America today, finding that two in five U.S. retail shoppers have personally experienced unfair treatment on the basis of their race or skin tone. in response to the data, Sephora just announced a research-driven diversity and inclusion action plan to mitigate the negative effects of bias, including increased diversity in its product offerings, more inclusive marketing, and updated employee conduct policies.
Two in five shoppers have experienced unfair treatment in a US retail store on the basis of their race or skin tone. We’re rolling out an action plan to create a more equitable shopping experience for all. Learn more: https://t.co/7WiFHdbZ6cpic.twitter.com/wAO1L1awJx
In this effort, Sephora is building upon its 15 Percent Pledge — the commitment to dedicate 15% of Sephora shelf space to Black-owned companies — with the goal of doubling its current assortment of Black-owned labels by the end of 2021. To that end, Sephora will also prominently feature and advertise Black-owned brands through a dedicated tab on its website, and plans to continue to mentor, fund, and support female and BIPOC-founded brands through its Sephora Accelerate program.
In terms of a safe and inclusive in-store experience, Sephora will be rolling out a new greeting system across stores to ensure a more consistent experience for all shoppers. New training will be required for all employees, which will better define what service should look like, and what behaviors will not be tolerated. Further, Sephora plans to reduce the presence of third-party security in stores and utilize more in-house specialists, with the goal of providing better service and minimizing shoppers’ concerns of policing.
It sounds like a solid, actionable plan, but Sephora’s President and CEO, Jean-André Rougeot, recognizes there is much work to be done. “The reality is that shoppers at Sephora, and in U.S. retail more broadly, are not always treated fairly and consistently,” says Rougeot in a statement, adding that accountability is the first step of many. “We know it will be a journey, but we’re committed to holding ourselves accountable to this mission for the benefit of our clients, our employees, our communities, and the retail industry at large.”

John Legend wrote a song about Chrissy Teigen, and his wife just returned the gesture by getting the name of the track, “Ooh Laa,” inked on her body forever. For the meaningful body art, the model made an appointment with top Hollywood tattoo artist Winter Stone, who penned a delicate cursive inscription of the title down the Teigen’s spine.
Stone then posted a photo of his work on Instagram, showing Teigen with her hair pulled back showing off her new ink. “What a blessing to honor Chrissy with this ooh laa tattoo down her spine,” Stone wrote in the caption. “John wrote this sexy song for her, so naturally she should have it tattooed on her right?”
Teigen herself also shared a behind-the-scenes video on IGTV, showing fans the entire tattoo process in 2 minutes and 54 seconds with Legend’s “Ooh La” playing in the background. The clip shows Winter stenciling the design, and then using a tattoo gun to ink it on Teigen’s back.
Almost more than the tattoo itself, fans in the comment section are loving the meaningful tribute — and the fact that Legend was actively involved, holding his wife’s hand the whole time.

Maybe it’s the winter season, collective quarantine restless, or the new year on the horizon, but major hair changes seem to be a dime a dozen lately. Just this week, we’ve seen stars like J.Lo and Ciara experiment with rainbow-bright hair extensions and pastel-pink wigs, respectively. So, it makes sense that of-the-moment salon color requests would follow suit, which is exactly what we’re seeing with the budding winter trend towards icy silver.
For a look into how to get shiny silver hair for real — without damaging your strands, burning your scalp, or buying a wig — tune into this week’s episode of Refinery29‘s makeover series Hair Me Out. L.A.-based influencer Stacey Nguyen meets with seasoned local colorist James Nguyen, who transforms her dulling balayage blonde into a reflective metallic silver tone.
Of course, taking your hair to an ice tone takes time, patience, and the help of a professional. In Stacey’s case, James worked in increments, almost strand by strand, to avoid over-processing her hair. He was also quick to recommend that any good bleach job should always be followed up with color-protecting hair masks and conditioners.
First, James painted bleach over the ends and mid-shafts of her hair, applying a gentler formula at the root to make sure Stacey didn’t experience any sort of burning sensation on her scalp. After sweeping bleach onto all the sections of her hair, James sat her down to process in foils, and then rinsed her hair out at the bowl. Next, James moved on to toning — and that was only part one. A week later, Stacey came back for her second session, which involved a second round of precision lifting and toning to achieve the prefect cool silver tone.
In the end, Stacey was thrilled with the result, and so thankful that James took the time to protect her hair and scalp. “You made me an icy queen,” she exclaimed, stroking her soft-silver barrel curls. “I didn’t feel any pain and I’m so relieved I was able to get this done right — my hair looks good, and my head feels good, too.”
