Letter From The Editor


Interacting with beauty always feels special, but even more so during the holidays. See, the holidays mean something different to everyone—they can be sad, joyful, fun, difficult, lonely, lovely, or a mixture of all of it—and beauty shares that same individual space in our lives. Our hair, skin, and bodies are all different and deeply personal, and we celebrate them in our own unique ways.
This is why it’s so wonderful to have a partner like Ulta Beauty, a space that facilitates experimentation, joy, and a diverse celebration of beauty. There are products and information for everyone, celebrating anything—whether it’s self-care, community, or New Year’s Eve makeup.
We created this special capsule in partnership with Ulta Beauty to empower readers to celebrate the holidays (and holiday beauty) however feels best for them. We encourage you to click around and find a few new favorites. Happy celebrating!
