If you’ve spent 15 minutes on TikTok lately, you’ve probably come across teens raving about beauty brands like Bubble, Touchland and Glow Recipe. Teen skincare and makeup obsessions aren’t new (remember St. Ives Apricot Scrub?), but today’s Gen Z favourites are boosted by the power of social media and often become best-sellers. Whether it’s a serum that promises dolphin-like skin or a high-end hand sanitizer (yes, really), this generation knows how to make a product go viral.

In fact, lash extensions have become so popular that Raquel DaSilva, owner of Toronto’s Lashgod Inc. beauty boutiques, expanded into professional education four years ago, based on high demand from clients and followers who wanted to learn. At least 65 per cent of students seek out lash training.

The first time I tried lip liner was back in 1999. My best friend and I were hanging out in her bedroom, listening to Destiny’s Child. Leaning over the vanity table where she kept her apricot face scrub and mousse foundation, I outlined my beige, concealer-toned lips with a chestnut brown pencil. The look was inspired by Pamela Anderson and it was right on trend. After that phase ended, I didn’t think about lip liner for 25 years.

Not saying I spent a lot on UK/Ireland travel last year but yeah, now trying to figure out how to claim Liam Gallagher on my 2024 US tax return $ 😆 $
Anyone worried about Boston accents disappearing should have been on my Red Line train this morning. Driver called “Chaaaaaahls/MGH” and I swear his long ‘a’ lasted about 30 seconds 😆
Gotta love Boston in the winter: my walk to South Station this a.m. yielded half a dozen runners in leggings/fleece vests/standard winter gear and one dude getting his morning coffee in a hoodie & big shorts 😆
