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 […] Perfect Corp., which develops virtual try-on apps for the beauty industry, has raised a $50 million Series C led by Goldman Sachs. The business plans to use the money to continue developing AI technology and drive global expansion. Perfect is the business behind YouCam makeup, an app that let’s people virtually try on makeup, skin care and hair styles. The […] When we talk about nails it's usually in reference to a favorite polish color or the nail art trend we can't wait to try once salons are a thing again. And unless they're constantly breaking, the health of our nails typically takes a back seat to other concerns. It makes sense: Nail health isn't exactly sexy so it's easy to […] For years, legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath has been referred to by both friends and fans as Mother. But while that nickname won't be going anywhere for as long as she's creating stunning editorial and runway looks that can be recreated with her namesake cosmetics line, there's now a new way one can — and should, out of sheer respect […]

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.
