Addison Rae Is Using Her TikTok Fame to Launch a Full Makeup Brand

Well, it was only a matter of time. TikTok star Addison Rae is launching Item Beauty, becoming the first on the platform to launch their own full beauty brand. Brand innovation incubator Madeby Collective is behind the brand with Rae acting as co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer. The line promises to be dermatologist-tested, “clean,” (free of parabens, phthalates, talc, and mineral oil), cruelty-free and vegan. These things are especially important to the Gen Z market.

“I wanted to create a brand that supports individuality in a very real and authentic way,” Rae said in a statement. “Item approaches beauty the same way that I do. I want to be able to put something on my face that I can feel good about—clean products with ingredients that are good for my skin and enhance, not mask, my features. It’s about embracing all your imperfections because they all play a part in what makes you truly unique.”

The six-piece line includes Lash Snack lengthening mascara ($14), Lid Glaze hydrating jelly eyeshadow ($14), Powder Hour brightening powder ($22), Cheek Money bronzer duo ($16),  Lip Quip lip oil ($12), and Brow Chow brow definer ($14). These are products for a light glam, to make your eyes or lips stand out. This isn’t full-coverage makeup made to hide imperfections. That’s not the vibe here.

Although Rae is the first to have a makeup brand, other TikTok stars have collaborated with beauty companies. Recently, Charli & Dixie D’Amelio announced they are the faces of Morphe’s new brand, Morphe 2. We don’t know the future of TikTok in the U.S. just yet, but we know these teens are going places.

You’ll be able to grab the line on the Item Beauty website on August 11. Plus, it’ll be in the Ipsy Glam Bag starting this September.

Wildflower Cases Just Dropped A Zodiac Collection & My Horoscope Says I Need To Buy One

If you take a quick mental trip back to the early 2000s, you might remember that there was one specific must-have souvenir that anyone on a beach vacation knew to snag: the airbrushed tee. It was the quintessential way to prove to the world that you had, in fact, been traipsing around on a tropical holiday. And now, the same style is back—only, instead of t-shirts, this airbrushed look has upgraded to phone cases. Not just any old phone cases, but zodiac-themed phone cases(!!!). The new Wildflower zodiac phone cases are the perfect combination of early aughts vacation vibes and 2020’s zodiac obsession, and we’re deeming them the accessory of the season.

Though I’m not someone who introduces myself with my name, age and zodiac sign (You know who you are.), I definitely align with my sun, moon and rising signs. Considering I’m a Gemini sun—one of the most hated signs, and I will refute any criticism, thanks—the zodiac has always been an interesting way for me to identify. For a while, I felt embarrassed to admit I was a Gemini, but after realizing that each sign has its pros and cons—and the fact that you can’t choose into which sign you were born—I started to feel an affinity for Geminis everywhere.

Now, I’m so confident in my zodiac sign, that I’m willing to carry around a phone case with “Gemini” emblazoned on it. If that isn’t growth, I don’t know what is. So if you, too, love to embrace your sign and all the ups and downs that come with it, allow me to introduce you to the seriously cute Wildflower zodiac phone case collection. Celebs like Bella Hadid, Halsey and Dua Lipa already love the brand, so if you haven’t checked it out before, now is the time. Odds are, you’ll see these new cases all over Instagram—and in the hands of your favorite celebrities—right after your order your own.

The entire zodiac phone case collection is available now on the Wildflower site starting at $35, and I rounded up a few—one for each type of sign: air, water, fire and earth—so you could get an idea of what each case looks like. There’s a case for each and every sign, so you might as well grab your sun, moon, rising and all other signs with which you feel connected. Depending on your mood, you can switch it up, and have several fun phone case options from which to choose. (That’s the Gemini in me talking. We love options!) Every case is so fun and a perfect match for its zodiac sign, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly feel seen by a phone case. After all, it’s written in the stars.

Beyonce, Adele & Kylie Jenner Are All Obsessed With This Fashion Brand

Listen up, y’all, we have a new favorite fashion brand. Not only was Marine Serre heavily featured in Beyonce’s Black Is King visual album, the line is also beloved by other major celebs including Adele (who we have no choice but to stan!) and Kylie Jenner—Stormi Webster, too, as a matter of fact.

Seemingly out of nowhere, all the celebs on my feed started swapping their neutral, solid-colored ensembles for fully patterned ‘fits, from bodysuits speckled with crescent moons to dresses drenched in bright yellow zebra print. After seeing a few cute looks, I started to wonder where these designs were coming from. Who was the designer so good, celebs were suddenly abandoning the monochrome, minimalist vibes they’d been working all of 2020 to perfect?

Marine Serre, that’s who. Self-described as a brand combining the best of “French couture shapes, sportswear references and fabrics, and a decisive ecofuturist thematic and vision,” the brand has been around for a few years, and Serre was even awarded the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers back in 2017. The brand is divided into four subdivisions: Borderline, White Line, Gold Line and Red Line. Celebs seem to lean towards White Line, which is the brand’s classic collection.

If I’m honest, Marine Serre first caught my eye when I saw Kylie Jenner and angelic fashionista baby Stormi posing together in matching, fully-patterned outfits. So cute! After Jenner’s post back in March, it seemed even more celebs were getting hip to the brand, rocking a patterned turtlenecks or bodysuits for selfies or full-on catsuits for more dramatic photos.

Now, the brand has reached peak exposure by way of Beyonce’s Black Is King. Bey rocks the finest fashions throughout the visual album, but the Marine Serre looks worn by the queen and her dancers in the “ALREADY” video are truly sublime.

I mean, WOW! Often, celebs will dress down their background dancers so that they can stand out, but Bey makes a statement even when everyone else in the shot is clad in the same crescent moon catsuit. It wasn’t the first time the songstress donned Marine Serre (she wore the black-and-red version of the same look while sitting court-side at the NBA playoffs), but to feature the brand so prominently in this iconic visual album is undeniably a big deal. Like, so big that Adele even copied the look.

In a post praising Bey and Black Is King, Adele is seen crouching beneath her TV, wearing a Marine Serre top to match Bey and her dancers. How freaking cute! And just another reason why this brand is truly one to watch.

If you’re looking for a few pops of pattern to spice up your wardrobe (or even just your mood board), start following Marine Serre ASAP and shop the below to lean into the crescent moon futurewear realness. I guarantee we’ll be seeing this logo a lot when autumn street style hits.

Nikki Bella’s Net Worth Means Her Baby With Artem Chigvintsev Will Be Rightfully Pampered

Oh, baby! Nikki Bella’s net worth means her son with fiancé Artem Chigvintsev will be pampered and spoiled (as he deserves to be.) Nikki and Artem welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, on Friday, July 31. The two announced the news on their Instagram accounts two days later.

“7/31/2020 Our baby boy is here and we couldn’t be HAPPIER and more in LOVE! Everyone is safe and healthy,” Nikki captioned a photo of her and Artem holding her son’s hand.

Artem shared the same photo with a caption in honor of his soon-to-be wife. “7/31/2020 please welcome our precious baby boy Chigvintsev proud of my love @thenikkibella,” he wrote.

The birth of Nikki and Artem’s son came one day before her twin sister, Brie Bella, welcomed her own baby boy with her husband Daniel Bryan. (The two also share 3-year-old daughter Birdie.) Brie, who gave birth on Saturday, August 1 (24 hours after Nikki), also announced the news on her Instagram with a photo of her and her husband holding their son’s hand. “It’s a BOY!!! 8-1-2020 We are overwhelmed with joy and everyone is healthy!!!” she wrote in the caption.

Artem and Nikki met as partners on season 25 of Dancing With the Stars in 2017. In January 2019, Nikki and Artem confirmed they were dating nine months after Nikki ended her engagement to John Cena after six years together. Nikki announced her engagement to Artem in January 2020 with a photo showing off her ring. She revealed in her caption that her beau proposed to her in November 2019. “Excited for 2020 and the next decade with you @theartemc I said yes in France in November! We have been trying to keep it a secret but really wanted to share our excitement for the New Year!” she wrote at the time.

Now onto what we really want to know: Nikki Bella’s net worth. Read on to find out how much she makes and why it’s clear that her and Artem’s baby will live the high life.

How much did Nikki Bella make from the WWE?

Nikki and Brie joined the World Wrestling Entertainment as professional wrestlers in 2007. Dubbed as the duo The Bella Twins, Nikki and Bella competed on and off as WWE Divas until their retirements in March 2019. Nikki retired after a cyst had been found on her brain, which ended her wrestling career. As for how much she made, Total Sportek reported in 2018 that Nikki made $350,000 a year based on a three-year automatic renewal contract. Brie, on the other hand, made $50,000 less with a $300,000 per-year salary based on a one-year rolling contract. At the time, Nikki was the third highest-paid WWE Diva next to Rhonda Rousey (who made $1.5 million a year at the time) and Charlotte Flair (who made $550,000 a year a the time.)

How much does Nikki Bella make on Total Bellas?

In July 2013, Nikki and Brie made their reality TV debut on E!’s Total Divas. The sisters starred on the series for seven seasons. In October 2016, Nikki and Bella debuted in their own reality TV show, Total Bellas, which was a spinoff of Total Divas. The series was renewed for a sixth season in June 2020. It’s unclear how much Nikki and Brie make on Total Bellas and Total Divas, but E! is known for not being shy to pay its reality TV stars high salaries. (In 2015, Page Six reported that the Kardashians signed a $100 million deal with E! to run Keeping Up With the Kardashians for four more years.) Though it’s unlikely that Nikki and Brie are making Kardashian money, we doubt they paychecks are anything to scoff at either, given how long they’ve been in the WWE and on reality TV.

“For those docu-ensembles, especially if they’re nobodies, per episode it ranges from low-end, like $1,500 an episode, to $3,000 at the high end,” an agent who represents reality TV stars explained to Business Insider in 2016. “And then after three years of success, it can go up to $7,000 to $10,000 an episode. After that, you start moving into the Kardashian level.”

How else does Nikki Bella make her money?

Along with her work with the WWE and E!, Nikki and Brie also launched their own lifestyle and activewear brand, Birdiebee, in November 2017. They launched a beauty line called Nicole + Brizee in January 2019, and a podcast in March 2019. Nikki has also appeared in a music video for Trey Songz, as well as TV shows like Ridiculousness and American Ninja Warrior.

What is Nikki Bella’s net worth?

Ah, the question we all want to know. What is Nikki Bella’s net worth? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Nikki is worth $6 million, with around $1 million earned each year. Nikki’s net worth is also the same as her fiancé Artem Chigvintsev’s net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Both stars have a net worth of $6 million (and counting), which means we’re sure their baby boy will live a nice life as a celebrity kid.

These Photos of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Daughter Prove She’s a Carbon Copy of Her Mom

There are famous moms and daughters who look similar. And then there are Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin look-alike photos. Apple is Gwyneth’s eldest child whom she shares with her ex-husband Chris Martin. (The couple are also parents to son Moses.) Since Apple became older, fans have noted how much she looks like her famous mom. It’s hard to pin-point why Apple and Gwyneth look so much alike. Perhaps it’s their similar eye shape or their near-identical dusty blonde hair. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Apple is becoming Gwyneth 2.0.

In a March 2016 interview with Elite Daily, Gwyneth opened up about what she hopes Apple learns from her about beauty. I hope that the main thing [Apple] will have learned about beauty from me is that, irrespective of anything, she is beautiful. She is an intrinsically beautiful human being,” she said at the time. “Beauty is fun and it can be a wonderful expression of who you are and playing dress up and feeling good, but I hope that underneath that all she’ll know her value and worth and feel beautiful because of that.”

But, of course, Apple’s parents aren’t her only famous family members. Apple’s grandmother (Gwyneth’s mom) is actress Blythe Danner. In an August 2020 interview for Gwyneth’s website Goop, Apple talked to her mom and grandmother about aging. In the interview, she asked her mom “at what age did you feel prettiest,” to which Gwyneth explained that felt especially great in her 30s; though she also confessed that aging can be “hard.”

“It’s definitely a process and I think when you see your face start to change you don’t necessarily feel your best self externally. But the irony is it’s that time in your life when you actually really like yourself and love yourself. So you sort of internally feel really beautiful,” she said at the time.

And so, without further ado, we present to you the best Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple’s Martin’s look-alike photos.

Apple Turns 16

For Apple’s 16th birthday in May 2020, Gwyneth shared three photos of her daughter with a caption about how proud she is to see the woman that Apple has become.

“I can’t believe I’m actually writing these words but… happy sweet sixteen my darling girl,” Gwyneth wrote. “You are the light of my heart, you are pure joy. You are wickedly intelligent and you have the best, most dry, most brilliant sense of humor. I have the best time being your mom. I love our nightly evening chats when I really get to hear what’s on your mind.”

She continued, “You work hard to get whatever it is you want to achieve, and you have grit and responsibility in spades. I am so damn lucky to be your mother, you beautiful, kind young woman. Thank you for choosing me. I adore you to the moon and back a zillion times. I’m sorry you are having this particular birthday during these circumstances, but as always with you, you find the best in everything.

“Happy birthday, my darling girl. You make everyday feel like Christmas morning. You are the most vibrant, hilarious, twirling all over the place, beautiful (inside and out) young woman. You are an amazing thinker and an incredible songwriter. Thanks for still hanging out with me, even though you are 14,” Gwyneth wrote at the time.

ghd’s Newest Hair Tool Just Cut My Getting-Ready Time In Half

I’m not exactly the biggest fan of washing my hair, especially now that quarantine has me embracing my naturally wavy texture. My waves tend to look better as the week goes on, becoming more tousled and beachy—that said, my roots aren’t exactly thriving by day three. No matter how voluminous the bottom half of my hair looks, my roots are usually flat and greasy after one night’s sleep, and the contrast is, um, not great. Thankfully, ghd’s new rise hot brush is the answer to my flat-hair prayers.

When I first heard about the ghd rise, I was excited but skeptical. I’m a big fan of the ghd glide, their other hot brush, which I love for de-frizzing and smoothing my hair when I wear it straight. Still, since I’ve been embracing my natural waves for the past few months and not using tons of heat on my hair, I didn’t really think a hot brush would work well in my routine. However, my tune changed after speaking with Justine Marjan, ghd’s Brand Ambassador and creator of every celeb hairstyle I’ve ever loved (hello, Ashley Graham’s maximalist Met Gala braid).

When I spoke with Marjan, she broke down the major differences between both of ghd’s hot brushes. “This is similar to the ghd glide hot brush that launched last year, but the glide is more of a traditional brush style that heats up and is great for de-frizzing and smoothing, and the rise is for volume, curl, lift and texture in the hair,” Marjan explains.

The new rise is all about giving deflated strands some extra oomph without damaging them, so if you like risk-free volume, it’s for you. Teasing roots (something I did back in my college cheerleader days) can lead to breakage, and using a traditional hot brush too close to the scalp can damage and even burn strands if you aren’t careful.

That’s why the rise hot brush is different. The body of the brush heats up, but the bristles themselves don’t conduct heat, so you can hold the tool directly onto the roots without them getting too hot. “While it looks similar to a regular curling iron, the effect is more like a velcro roller in the hair, or almost as if you put together a curling iron and a blow dryer,” says Marjan. “It’s a fluffier, airier texture, whereas a traditional curling iron collapses the hair and gets rid of volume while shaping.”

Embarrassed by my flat roots on an almost-daily basis, I was more than excited to give this tool a try. First, though, I had to retrain my muscle memory. It was tempting to wrap my hair around it like I would any curling iron, but to get the most out of the rise, it’s important to make sure hair lays flat against the iron, without any twists or overlapping. Because of this, it’s best to detangle hair before using.

I can’t really detangle my hair when it isn’t wet without ruining my waves, so I sectioned to the best of my ability, lifted my hair and held the iron beneath each section, elevated from the roots. After pausing to let my hair safely heat up, I removed the tool and definitely noticed some ample lifting.

My hair no longer looked like a triangle—the added boost at my scalp made it look voluminous from root to tip! Peep the Before & After below to see for yourself. Of course, if I had straight hair I could finish each pass by gliding the brush through my strands, but for me, this slightly altered method of lifting the roots and then stopping still did the trick.

That said, you can use the rise on your whole head, and in addition to lifting roots and refreshing dirty strands, it can create curls, help detail face-framing pieces and tame cowlicks. Not too shabby, huh? I’m nowhere near done playing with this baby, but I’m already super impressed.

As I learn to embrace my hair’s natural wave and stray away from using excess heat on it, I want to make sure every time I do opt to use a hot tool, the results are worth it. For me, the ghd rise is definitely a tool I’ll be reaching for, and I’d gladly recommend it to anyone else whose roots could use a little lift.

Fans Think Joey King Is Dating Her ‘Kissing Booth 2’ Costar After Their Getaway Together

From on-screen to irl? Are Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez dating after The Kissing Booth 2? Fans sure think so after the costars’ recent getaway for King’s 21st birthday. Perez, who played Marco V. Peña in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth 2, took to his Instagram on Sunday, August 2, to share several photos of him, Kimg and a few other friends as they the Act alum’s 21st birthday, which was on Thursday, July 30

“Recalculating route. * * *disclaimer* we all tested negative ,” he captioned the post, which included photos of him and King making silly faces and swimming in a waterfall. The post came three days after Perez took to his Instagram to write a sweet tribute in honor of his costar. “Happy Friggen Birthday @joeyking Honestly I could write about this woman all day,” he captioned a photo of him and King making faces at each other at the beach. “She is the reason I joined the KB2 family, she welcomed me with open arms and love, she supported me, she pushed me, she made me laugh (like pee my pants laughter and had to check my underwear), she inspired me to be a bettter actor, she shared her family with me, THE LIST GOES ON. Grateful for you forever. #tbt”

In response, King commented, “Can’t imagine my life without you. I heart you T.”

King, for her part, also took to her Instagram this weekend to share posts from her birthday. In one photo, the Ramona & Beezus star, who plays Elle Evans in The Kissing Booth and its sequel, posted on the beach in a bikini and a tiara. Perez commented, “HOLY $h!t.”

Perez played one of King’s love interests in The Kissing Booth 2, which saw a love triangle between Marco, Elle and Elle’s other other love interest, Noah Flynn, who was played by King’s ex-boyfriend Jacob Elordi. Elordi and King dated from 2017 to 2018. After Perez’s posts, fans wondered if King was dating another of her costars.

“OHMYGOD! I think joey king and taylor perez a.k.a Elle and Marco are dating in real life sheeet I ship them so hard!,” @mschubbycheekss tweeted. Twitter user @hcronstvirs wrote, “WAIT WTFSJDHS JOEY KING AND TAYLOR PEREZ ARE DATING IRL.” User @gwsmegan added, “wait are joey king and jacob elordi still dating.”

Source: Instagram Source: Instagram

As of now, it’s unclear if King and Perez are dating IRL. After King and Elordi’s breakup in November 2018, it was rumored that the actress started dating producer Steven Piet (who worked with her on The Act) after the two were at an outdoor movie date. “They were very affectionate and were with her two sisters sitting watching the movie together. Joey and Steven cuddled the entire time and looked very happy together,” the source told E! News in September 2019. “They had snacks and drinks and were laughing with her sisters.”

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in July, King opened up about the pressure of dating in the public eye. “In this world, everyone wants to know your business and what you’re doing,” she said at the time. “And I think it’s very interesting when you go through things and people kind of feel like they’re owed an explanation, but I understand.”
