Madewell and Parachute Just Dropped the Comfiest Home Line Ever


Just when we thought we had enough loungewear and crisp bed sheets to last us through social distancing, two of our favorite brands—Madewell and Parachute—teamed up for the collaboration of our dreams. The capsule, which launched on April 8, includes everything from Insta-worthy bed linens to the chicest dog bed we’ve ever laid eyes on.

Madewell collaborations are always on our radar, but the capsule with Parachute feels particularly serendipitous at a time when our WFH ’fits are looking a lot like our pajamas (they basically are), and we’re spending more time in bed than we’d like to admit.

Despite the coincidental timing, the brands have actually been working on the collection for over a year. “After collaborating back in 2018 on a small capsule of travel accessories, it was such a success and so much fun working with the Parachute team that we knew we wanted to continue our partnership in a bigger way,” Madewell’s head designer, Joyce Lee, tells Glamour.

The collection celebrates what both brands are known for—Madewell’s effortless design and Parachute’s beautiful, lived-in home essentials. The pieces themselves run the gamut from cotton sheets and striped duvet covers to quilted slippers and (gasp) a denim bed for your fur kid. Madewell’s denim expertise got some love in the line too, as Lee tells us the dog bed was a natural extension for the brand: “We thought a dog bed was a fun addition because everyone deserves a stylish and comfy nighttime routine,” she says. “It looks great in any room as well, which is an added bonus!”

If there’s anything that can turn our homes into a sanctuary, it’s these comfy pieces—and if you’re looking to put your dollars toward brands giving back to coronavirus relief efforts, you’re in luck: Madewell recently partnered with No Kid Hungry and will match customer donations up to $25,000.

For a purchase you can feel good about in more ways than one, here are six things from the collection worth adding to cart. FYI, you can shop the pieces directly on Parachute or Madewell.

Selena Gomez Is Launching a Beauty Line: Here's Everything We Know


It’s already been quite the year for Selena Gomez, and it’s only February. Hot off the heels of her most recent album, Rare, which came out in January, it’s just been revealed that the singer and actor is launching a beauty line of the same name. On Tuesday, February 4, Gomez posted a video to her Instagram page announcing the new venture: “Guys, I’ve been working on this special project for two years and can officially say Rare Beauty is launching in @sephora stores in North America this summer! Follow @rarebeauty and become part of our beautiful community. Here’s a tiny sneak. There’s more to share AND I can’t wait,” she shared in the caption.

Although she’s had some killer makeup moments in the past, Gomez tends to keep it low-key when it comes to beauty, so it will be interesting to see the direction the line goes in. She didn’t share tons of details, but here’s everything we know about the line so far.

The name: The line is called Rare Beauty, which mirrors the name of Gomez’s recent album. She’s referred to the album as her diary from the past few years, and many of the lyrics are speculated to be about her relationship with Justin Bieber.

The release date: There’s no exact launch date yet, but per Gomez’s video, the line will be available summer 2020.

Where to shop: Good news: You’ll be able to pick up Rare Beauty at Sephora with all your other beauty essentials.

The mission: Judging from Selena Gomez’s voice-over in the video, the brand is all about embracing inner beauty. “Being rare is about being comfortable with yourself,” she says in the clip, which you can watch above. “I’ve stopped trying to be perfect. I just want to be me. I think Rare Beauty can be more than a beauty brand. I want us all to stop comparing ourselves to each other and start embracing our uniqueness. You’re not defined by a photo, a like, or a comment. Rare Beauty isn’t about how other people see you. It’s about how you see yourself.”

Haus Laboratories Review: What To Buy From Lady Gaga's Makeup Line


While you might expect the line to be over the top, it’s surprisingly minimal and comprises only four products: Glam Attack Liquid Shimmer Powders, RIP Lip Liners, Le Riot Glosses, and Eye-lie-ner Liquid Eyeliner. The products were mostly inspired by what Gaga and Tanno found to be lacking in the market, as well as some of Gaga’s necessities. And, of course, they were all “Gaga tested” on the star and her dancers during her Enigma shows. If they’re strong enough to withstand that, they should work for us.

We had Glamour editors ranging from casual listeners to super fans put the products to the test to see what’s worth your money. Read on for our honest reviews.

Courtesy of brand

Gaga and Tanno couldn’t find a glitter that stayed put for an entire show yet came off with a single wipe, so they created one. These multi-use pigments can be used all over your face (Gaga likes to use the shade Rose B*tch on her eyes, lips, and cheeks) and don’t budge once set. Tanno likes a brush to apply it, but you can also use your fingers, as long as you shake them before using them.

Haus Beauty Glam Attack in Legend
Bella Cacciatore

“As a huge Gaga stan, I had really high hopes for this collection, and I have to say it was a little caught off guard by how minimal it was when I saw the photos. But, having held it in my hands, the simple black packaging feels special and sophisticated. I patted Legend, a stunning gold, on my lids with a brush, and used Aphrodite, a rose quartz, on my cheeks as a highlighter.

For such shimmery products they have no grit or tackiness, they dry in seconds and feel like I have nothing on. As a highlight I think they’re a little too glittery, or at least for day time, but I really love the gold on my eyes. It looks almost molten, and the shine can be seen from across the room. I’ve been touching my eyes all day and the glitter hasn’t budged or rained down my face. I also used the Lip Liner in En Pointe to overline and fill in my lips, and loved how creamy it was yet still had great definition. Is there anything Gaga can’t do?” —Bella Cacciatore, beauty associate

Haus Beauty in Rose Bitch
Lindsay Schallon

“In an actual huge surprise to me, pink shimmery eyeshadow has become a mainstay in my beauty routine summer. I love that it brings out the green in my eyes and it always feels a little more special than a basic neutral. Now I’ve got another to add to my rotation, because this shade is stupid pretty. I love that the applicator is slightly tipped and comes to a point at the end, which makes it easy to brush on without any thought—both on your lids and as underliner. It was a smidge creasy on my oily eyelids by 5 P.M., but nothing a quick swipe of my finger couldn’t fix. I totally get why this one is Gaga’s favorite.” —Lindsay Schallon, senior beauty editor

Haus Beauty Glam Attack in Dynasty
Brionna Jimerson

“I’ve low-key been waiting for Haus Laboratories to drop so that I could try out a more pigmented eye look a la the Spring 2020 runways. Gaga’s liquid eyeshadow in Dynasty is exactly what I was on the hunt for: a heavily pigmented yet lightweight eyeshadow that’s built for finger application. A little product goes a VERY long way. Not even a full brush-load of this emerald—which was inspired by Gaga’s look at the 2015 Grammy’s—is needed to give ultimate payoff. I’m a fan.” —Brionna Jimerson, associate social media manager

Everything We Know About Skims, Kim Kardashian's Solutionwear Line


As is par for the course with other Kardahsian business ventures, the launch of Kim Kardashian West’s solutionswear line has been both highly anticipated and comes with its share of controversy. But as of today, SKIMS has finally launched, is available for purchase, and it may just become the most successful Kardashian brand to date.

“I think all the other business I’ve had has lead me up to that moment where I feel totally confident saying this is what we’re doing and…if you wear shapewear you will love this,” said Kardashian West earlier this summer at the preview for her “solutionwear”—not shapewear, but more on that later. The debut collection will not only feature underwear, bras, shorts, and bodysuits that its creator swears by and wears every day, it also includes pieces that are intended to be worn out as the main event, as well.

As Kardashian West said, SKIMS is unlike any brand that’s come before, both solutionswear- and Kardashian-wise. Below, everything we know—and what to expect from the actual product.

SKIMS is Kardashian West’s true passion.

“I feel like I’ve been designing shapewear for 15 years,” Kardashian West said of her new company, explaining the customization process she’d go through, prior to creating her own line. “Every time I’d travel I’d bring sets of shapewear with scissors and a needle and a thread.” She explained how she’d alter pieces to fit under tricky silhouettes and dye shapewear with teabags to achieve a hue that matched her skin (a process she’s documented on social media).

“This is Kim’s true passion,” says SKIMS’s VP of Marketing, Julia Collier-Ungano. “She’s truly touched every single piece, wear tested everything. I’ve truly never seen anything like it.”

The brand got off to a rocky start.

Initially intended to launch earlier this summer, Kardashian West pushed back the line’s debut in order to rename it. The original name, Kimono, was accused of cultural appropriation. (Daisaku Kadokawa, the mayor of Kyoto, personally wrote to the reality star and entrepreneur to express his concern over the use of a word and garment so significantly tied to Japanese culture.) Eventually, Kardashian West listened and changed course. “My fans and followers are a huge inspiration to me–I’m always listening to their feedback and opinions, and am so grateful they shared their ideas for a new brand name,” she shared on Instagram announcing SKIMS.

SKIMS is prioritizing inclusivity.

At launch, SKIMS’s sizing runs from XXS to 4XL (with some additional pieces available in 5XL). It’ll also offer nine different options for nude shades.

Lady Gaga’s New Beauty Line Is Already an Amazon Best-Seller


Hundreds of thousands of people spent at least part of their Monday or Tuesday on Amazon during the company’s longest-ever Prime Day sale, and while they weren’t all in the market for Lady Gaga’s new makeup line, Haus Laboratories, a pretty impressive number of shoppers were. Even surrounded by the pandemonium of record-breaking markdowns, the highly anticipated debut of Haus Laboratories was also highly successful.

Yahoo! Lifestyle reports that Haus Laboratories’ did quite well on Amazon Prime Day—well enough to be considered a best-seller among deeply discounted products by other beauty brands. In fact, Haus received enough preorders from Prime members to temporarily push it into Monday’s overall top-10 best sellers.

As for which Haus Laboratories products were preordered the most, people were especially excited to stake their claim on the three-piece All-Over Color, Lip Gloss and Lip Liner, which comes in six different color combinations; the Le Riot Lip Gloss Duo, which comes in three different pairs; and the RIP Lip Liner Duo, which also comes in three color combos. For the majority of this week, both the Le Riot Lip Gloss Duo and the RIP Lip Liner Duo were the top sellers in their Amazon categories.

The RIP Lip Liner Duo is an especially great pick, thanks to its versatility. According to Gaga’s makeup artist and Haus Laboratories global artistry director, Sarah Tanno, the pop icon likes to line her lips with these pencils and also fill them in entirely. Referring to the shade Ride (which comes in the Floor It duo with En Pointe), Tanno wrote on Instagram, “@ladygaga loves to wear it all over her lips like a lipstick. Full coverage, super creamy formula ?.”

Whether you already placed your order or you’re planning to, being a Prime member won’t get you two-day shipping this time—more like two-month shipping. The preorders placed now are not expected to ship until September 17, when Haus Laboratories officially launches.

Everything We Know About Haus Laboratories, Lady Gaga’s Beauty Line


“The last thing the world needs is another beauty brand, but that’s too bad,” says Lady Gaga in a video posted today on her Instagram account, announcing the long-awaited drop of her makeup line, Haus Laboratories. “They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But at Haus Laboratories, we say beauty is how you see yourself.” The video features the superstar dancing with a crowd of downtown-cool models of various gender expressions wearing metallic makeup looks.

Rumors about Gaga’s line have been swirling for months—the latest being leaked photos over the weekend that indicate visuals may or may not be Photoshop-free—but today Little Monsters are finally getting some answers. In addition to the campaign video, Gaga revealed to Business of Fashion that her line would be called Haus Laboratories, not Haus Beauty, as many fans had suspected.

Fans will be able to get the line with two-day shipping, as it will be the first major beauty brand to launch exclusively on Amazon, which Gaga credits with giving her full creative control. The products will also be available on Haus Labs’ own website when the line launches in September.

We have limited details on the products themselves, but from the video we’re guessing there will be glitter involved. There are definitely lip glosses, which will retail for $16, lip colors, and allover colors in six shades according to Business of Fashion. Kits of all three products will be available for $49, and all the products will be available for preorder starting on Amazon Prime Day, July 15.

While we might still be guessing when it comes to actual product, Gaga’s messaging is extremely clear: This is not your typical beauty line, this is about self expression. “I have a platform in the world,” she told Business of Fashion. “God gave me this voice for a reason, I don’t know why, I ask myself that question all the time, but I’m sure as hell not going to put out a beauty brand that is going to drive insecurity and fear into people. This is about liberation.”
