A new F-beauty brand has arrived, and it’s called I’MMA. It’s still fresh on the scene with plenty to prove, but it’s interesting to see they’re rooted in long-lasting, high-performance products that don’t waste time with frills. From the Flush Blush to the Mood Color Lip Balm, there’s much to explore.

Finally, beauty drops that get our summer woes. These brands have seen the sweat, the humidity, the mess—and they’ve decided to do something about it.  Now there’s no excuse for not looking and feeling our best self, even when the weather’s doing its worst.
