    Influencer Hailey Bieber has moved on from her previous fascination with glazed donut nails, but she hasn't completely abandoned the glazed look. Her latest obsession lies in the glazed skin aesthetic, which involves achieving a dewy and glowing complexion.

    This trend gained popularity through Asian beauty influencers who showcased products from K Beauty and J Beauty. It eventually made its way into the American market in early 2022, riding the wave of the "no makeup makeup" vibe, and continues to be in high demand.

    Those seeking inspiration for achieving dewy skin, can turn to TikTok or Instagram, where numerous fresh-faced influencers share their skincare routines.

    This summer, Bieber is celebrating the first anniversary of her skincare line, Rhode, by embracing the pinnacle of glazeness. She prefers looking like a delectable glazed donut or a dessert saying, "I want someone to want to take a bite out of my skin. I want you to want to bite me, because it looks so delicious that you can't resist."

    With such an endorsement, we turned to Sarah Young, a certified physician assistant at luxe River Oaks beauty oasis Nuveau Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics, to discover her recommendations for achieving dewy summer skin using Alastin skincare.

    "I am absolutely obsessed with this skincare line because it has dramatically transformed my skin," says Young about Alastin. "It contains a proprietary anti-aging complex called TriHex technology that directly communicates with your skin, instructing it to produce collagen and elastin, thereby rejuvenating your complexion from the inside out."

    According to Young, Alastin offers products that not only address smoothing skin texture, erasing fine lines, and brightening pigmented spots but also aid in calming inflammation and eliminating signs of sun damage. Young emphasizes the importance of sunscreen in achieving a dewy look, saying, "You can't look dewy with damaged skin."

    Go glazed in the morning

    Here is Young's morning skincare routine for achieving a dewy complexion using Alastin products:

    1. Start with Alastin Gentle Cleanser, a gel cleanser that effectively cleans the skin without causing dryness.

    2. Follow up with Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, which targets fine lines and wrinkles.

    3. Apply Alastin HA Immerse Serum to provide both instant and long-term hydration.

    4. Use Alastin A-luminate Brightening Serum to tackle skin discoloration.

    5. Address fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes with Alastin Restorative Eye Cream.

    6. For the neck area, apply Alastin Restorative Neck Complex, which targets crepey skin and discoloration.

    7. Finish off with Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Tinted Sunscreen, offering reliable sun protection with a subtle hint of tint.

    Evening routine

    Young's evening routine is quite similar, but she incorporates a retinol product and a nourishing moisturizer:

    1. Begin with Alastin Gentle Cleanser, as in the morning routine.

    2. Follow with Alastin Restorative Skin Complex.

    3. Apply Alastin HA Immerse Serum.

    4. Address skin discoloration with Alastin A-luminate Brightening Serum.

    5. Treat the delicate eye area with Alastin Restorative Eye Cream.

    6. Focus on the neck with Alastin Restorative Neck Complex.

    7. Introduce Alastin Retinol 0.5 to your routine, which helps smooth skin texture and improve skin tone.

    8. Finish off with Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer designed to soothe, nourish, and hydrate the skin.

    Houston designers' diamond-adorned handbags turn heads in Hollywood

    Houston twins Mary Kay Bowden and Kim Willson are showcasing their Southern roots and global perspective with the launch of 11 Juillet. The brand's fine jewelry and luxury handbags are already favored by A-listers including Katie Holmes, Leslie Bibb, Jenna Ortega, Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston.

    11 Juillet, named after the twins’ birthday, debuted its first collection in March. The line blends Italian craftsmanship with modern elegance, featuring handbags made from Italian calfskin leather and jewelry made with malachite, mother-of-pearl, onyx, and ethically sourced diamonds.

    “I’ve called Houston home for about 20 years, and Kim’s been here for about four,” Bowden tells CultureMap. “We originally grew up in Kentucky, where we first began to appreciate quality craftsmanship. In our early twenties, we spent time in New York, where we were introduced to fashion and design, followed by countless trips to Paris that deepened our appreciation for Parisian art and elegance. Once we settled in Texas, we were inspired by the South’s distinctive style.”

    Handbags range from $8,000 to $20,000, depending on diamond selections. Each purse features a medallion made with diamonds and natural stones ranging from 3.4 to 17 carats. The medallions are removable and can be worn as jewelry.

    Each 11 Juillet handbag is made to order in Tuscany, where Italian artisans craft the designs from full-grain calfskin. “After visiting artisans across the globe, we found Italy’s heritage of leather craftsmanship is unmatched,” they explain. “We are closely involved in designing each silhouette and communicate with our Italian artisans daily, frequently visiting Italy to ensure every piece is made with the utmost precision and the finest materials.”

    Their debut collection, Éclat de Joie, which translates to “radiance of joy,” represents what they stand for. “To us, the Éclat de Joie is the heart of 11 Juillet, a symbol of light, joy, and individuality,” said Wilson. “Each star medallion represents the harmony between natural beauty, technical mastery, and personal expression.”

    Currently, 11 Juillet is available online only, though the brand hosts pop-ups in various cities where merchandise is available on-site.

    “Success, for us, isn’t about chasing trends, but about creating heirloom-worthy pieces through timeless designs that hold meaning, reflect exceptional craftsmanship, and can be treasured and passed down for generations,” said Bowden.

    As Houston’s fashion scene continues to grow, Bowden and Willson see the Bayou City as the perfect home base. “We are based in Houston, which is known for its effortless elegance and love of diamonds. We are inspired by Texas’s fashion scene and we wanted to create handbags that let you wear your diamonds not just as jewelry, but as modern heirlooms to be cherished and passed down.”
