ThirdLove Launches The TL Effect to Support Businesses Led by Women of Color
June 17, 2020 at 06:57PM ThirdLove has always strived to make every woman feel confident and celebrated—it’s a mission that’s been the driving force behind their brand since its inception. As brands respond to worldwide demonstrations against the senseless killing of Black people by reflecting on their commitment to diversity, ThirdLove has moved beyond social statements of solidarity. On Wednesday, June 17, ThirdLove announced The TL Effect, an initiative that will support women of color-led businesses through monetary grants and mentorship. Each quarter, the ThirdLove team will select a female entrepreneur of color to support. As part of the multi-pronged plan of action, ThirdLove will provide a portion of its office space to entrepreneurs to utilize for their day-to-day business operations, including meetings and photoshoots. ThirdLove is also pledging to highlight and raise brand awareness for these businesses through its social platforms. COURTESY “If we can contribute to the success of more female founders of color, they will be able to hire others, and impact the world, and then mentor others over time. We see this as mutually beneficial — listening and learning from these founders’ experiences and points of view can ultimately help affect change within our company and community,” the brand wrote on its site to announce the initiative. Founders interested in getting involved with The TL Effect can apply when the application process is available on June 30. Sign up here for updates on The TL Effect and how to apply.

Everything You Need to Know About Shaping Your Brows at Home
June 17, 2020 at 06:26PM The number one beauty lesson that almost everyone is guaranteed to have learned the hard way? Never attempt to reshape your own brows. If you want to cut the risk of getting pluck-happy, it’s imperative that you resist the urge to reach for the tweezers and instead simply call the salon and book in for a shape-and-tidy. But things have changed. Something as simple as booking in for a brow appointment is now no longer an option. And as our brows start sprouting new stragglers left, right and centre after four weeks without even a hint of grooming, we’re calling time on this laissez-faire approach to brow maintenance. So while we are by no means encouraging anyone to start ordering hot wax and set up a DIY brow bar, we think we could all benefit from some pointers on how to avoid disaster while tending to our brows. To aid in keeping the situation under control until we can get back out into the world again, we have enlisted the help of Laurretta Power, senior brow expert and makeup artist at Benefit Cosmetics UK. Keep scrolling to discover her top tips. First and foremost, it’s imperative to remember that it’s best to leave the fiddly tools and methods to the professionals. “At home, I suggest tweezing over any other technique, owing to the fact there is much less room for error,” advises Power. “With waxing or threading, you’re removing large areas of hair, making it far easier to make big
These Good American Jeans Are Like a Push-Up Bra For My Butt
June 17, 2020 at 06:45PM Real talk: My butt has always been my least favorite feature. No matter how many millions of squats I do, it doesn’t have that . . . oomph I’m looking for. Hey, it’s cool, there’s plenty of other physical features that I love about myself, and all booties are beautiful in their own way – but I would love to give mine a little lift every once in a while with a great pair of pants. I was talking to my friend Brinton the other day, and she told me she found jeans that are like “a push-up bra for her butt.” I thought that was straight-up genius. I want push-up bra pants! So I went on a quest to find the most flattering jeans for my body, and after dozens of try-on tests, I discovered the pair. The. Pair. Pulling on these jeans is like doing one-hundred squats without all the work. These Good American Good Curve Jeans ($165-$179) give my butt the lifted, rounded look I never thought I could achieve. Pulling on these jeans is like doing one-hundred squats without all the work. Never in my life have I been so willing to have my backside photographed. Not only does this denim make me feel great, it’s also incredibly well-made. The gap-proof waistband gives me a perfect fit and the cropped legs hit just right on my 5’5″ frame.

Sophie Turner Pairs a White Crop Top and Gray Leggings With a Plaid Blazer While Out With Joe Jonas
June 17, 2020 at 06:02PM Sophie Turner has been regularly photographed out on walks during quarantine. The actress was seen again this week alongside her husband Joe Jonas dressed in athleisure clothes, pairing a white crop top and gray leggings with a plaid blazer. She stuck to neutral colors, wearing black sunglasses and a white mask. THEIMAGEDIRECT.COM Turner is reportedly due with her first child later this summer. While Turner and Jonas haven’t personally confirmed the news, reports of Turner’s pregnancy first broke in February. A source told JustJared, which first reported the news, that the two are keeping the news quiet. “The couple is keeping things very hush hush but their friends and family are super excited for them,” the source said at the time. Turner and Jonas celebrated their first wedding anniversary (of their Las Vegas ceremony, anyway) earlier this year. Turner spoke to ELLE for its April 2020 issue about how being married to Jonas feels different than when the pair were dating. “I feel like the only thing that’s changed for me is having this incredible sense of security. Just the word husband and the word wife—it just solidifies the relationship,” she said. “I love being married. I think it’s wonderful. I’m sure we’ll have our hiccups and our different things. But right now, it’s like the security and the safety is everything.” She also had adoring things to say about her partner. “With Joe, I always felt like I was the one who was punching, like, way above my league. And I still feel like that,”
