For almost two years, a jumbo-sized Diptyque candle sat on a bookshelf in my living room completely untouched. I insisted I was "saving it for a special occasion." This, of course, was ridiculous. Life is a special occasion. (And it's nothing if not unpredictable: I finally burned that candle during a days-long power outage.) Several months into stay-at-home orders, I […] Megan Thee Stallion's 2021 is surely off to a good start: She had a performance on New Year's Rockin' Eve, a feature on the remix of Ariana Grande's "34 + 35" song, and she kicked off the year looking stunning while soaking up the sun on a beach in a lavender bikini. In-between beginning a new workout challenge and keeping […] Rosalind Brewer has been named chief executive officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance, effective March 15. The executive, who will also join WBA’s board of directors, succeeds Stefano Pessina. The latter, who stepped down from the ceo position in July, is to become WBA’s executive chairman of the board. Brewer most recently served as chief operating officer, group president and member […] India’s new cosmetic regulations are changing the playing field for global beauty retailers and brands bringing products into India. A new policy went into effect Dec. 15 that reduces costs to register products by 50 percent, from $2,000 per category to $1,000 per category, and increases the validity of the registration from three years to five years. Retailers and importers […] All products featured on Allure are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. Essence has been one of our favorite drugstore beauty brands for years. Without fail, it has launched countless products that make us wonder how something so good can be so inexpensive. And now, the […] Thanks for your question. A lot of people wonder about sperm in pools. Sperm can live outside of the body for a short amount of time, except in very specific conditions. Good news is that sperm does not live long in pool water for a bunch of reasons, including the water itself and the temperature. So, you do not have […] Late last year, mass-market beauty retailers were dealt a one-two punch. The first blow came from Ulta Beauty, which in November announced a deal to open 100 shops-in-shop in Target Stores; less than a month later, Sephora unveiled a long-term deal with Kohl’s that calls for up to 850 stores over the next three years. For the other key contenders […] I was first introduced to iS Clinical's Cleansing Complex by Shani Darden, who named it one of her daily staples a while back when I interviewed her about her skin-care routine. At the time, I was on the hunt for a new cleanser that would gently exfoliate my chronically scaly skin without leaving it raw and irritated, and well, it […] For Harris Reed, fluid fashion and beauty encompasses “more than just gender fluidity.” The London-based designer, who has dressed the likes of Harry Styles, Solange and Troye Sivan, has teamed with MAC Cosmetics on a Renaissance-inspired makeup collection. The collaboration includes three lipsticks, two cream color bases, nine eyeshadows and a kohl eyeliner, all of which come in gilded packaging, […] This year, the Estée Lauder Cos., and its namesake flagship brand, turn 75. While the beauty industry is rife with brands that have been unable to maintain their appeal across generations, Lauder is the rare exception, adeptly evolving to meet the changing times, while also harnessing the power of its history. The year ahead looks to be another pivotal time […]

I had a guy pool party last night. A couple guys talked about jerking off under water and did. Tonight is a coed party. Can girls get pregnant if there are sperm in the water? Afraid to tell parents what we did.
