The Review of Beauty by jessica defino

Critiquing all aspects of beauty culture, written by someone who used to work for the Kardashians and then various fashion/beauty outlets. Very well written and thought provoking! Also she has a podcast called "The Review of Mess" with Emily Kirkpatrick of I <3 Mess (another great substack)

Beauty/wellness articles that are actually personal essays

Annie hamilton’s lip filler review is my personal fave version of this I’ve read (linked), I’m also rereading and re-enjoying Lauren oyler’s longer form piece about the goop cruise from Harper’s last year. (As I type this I realize both articles also are about nonmonogamy, this is not pointed I promise)
