Gen Z Slang

  • That guy has serious rizz. 
  • I rizzed her up when we met at the party last night.

• Beauty Trends We’re Trying
  • Peach Fuzz – Pantone just announced their 2024 color of the year, Peach Fuzz, & I’d be lying if I said I didn’t already order a few lip glosses & blushes. It’s a peach girl winter!
  • Red Lips & Nails – Just in time for the holidays, the color red is coming in strong. From red jackets to red boots, the color has definitely been a top contender all fall long and now it’s the time to let your lips and nails join in on the fun. Pair your lip with a nude lip liner to give the look a subtle boost and avoid the lipstick bleeding past your lip lines!

This new monochromatic dark brown makeup look has taken the beauty industry by storm with celebs like Hailey Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion, and more seen rocking it.
