Six Lip Moisturizers

That Were Mentioned by Name

After all, who tries more lip balms than teens?

Glossier Balm

Dotcom, $12

“I can’t live without Balm

Dotcom. I know it’s a bit

pricey, but it’s really good

and also the packaging

is cute.” —sydney

La Mer the

Lip Balm, $65

“I like the way it tastes—

like sweet mint—

and how long the

moisture stays on my

lips.” —juliet

Rosebud Salve, $7

“It has a soft smell that

is very elegant and can

be used as either a

moisturizer for the lips or

just as a gloss; it isn’t

tinted, though.” —theo

Vaseline, $3

“I like using Vaseline

during the day because

it displays a natural-

looking lip while

simultaneously providing

hydration and glow.”

—erin

eos Visibly

Soft Lip Balm Sphere, $3

“I often have chapped

lips—even in the

summer—and this never

fails to make my lips feel

good. I also enjoy its

vanilla smell.” —amy

Palmer’s

Cocoa Butter Formula

Swivel Stick, $4

“It’s extremely large, so it

looks like a glue stick.

I’ve been using it for two

years and it’s the only one

that works.” —sarah

backpack beauty

“I start by washing my face with Morning Burst cleanser from Clean & Clear,” says Reese.

“I then put on sunscreen moisturizer from Origins. I have very sensitive skin when it comes

to sunscreen. Most of them burn my face, but this one doesn’t. Then I use the Pep-Start

from Clinique for my under-eyes. Now onto makeup! I use Boy Brow on my brows, which

works great. Then I curl my eyelashes and apply mascara. If I have the time, I will put

on highlighter using the light-pink shade from this Sleek MakeUP palette. As a final touch,

I put on some plain old Carmex, but if I am feeling fancy I will add some lip gloss to it.”

Plus, one teen’s complete morning beauty routine:

“Getting a husky puppy.” “I am currently wanting a pair of white Nike Air Max 90s. I had them back in middle school, and the

sole.” “I would love to get more ear piercings. I’ve also been looking for high-waisted, kick-flare leather pants, lik

I’m not literate enough when it comes to tuxedo manufacturers to have a specific brand.” “A new pair of light-wash

LUMIA: Air Forces

are cuter, obviously. And

you can slip them on ra ther

than having to lace up

Converse every time you

put them on.

SABRINA: I will say

that I’ve modeled for

Converse. But still they

make your legs look

slimmer and are more

versatile than clunky Air

Force 1’s. I wouldn’t

wear Air Force 1s with

just anything.

LUMIA: Air Forces are

also cuter when you

draw on them vs Converse

so they’re definitely more

versatile and realistically

Air Forces much flyer

than Converse on. They’re

the ideal sneaker to

dress down a skirt or dress.

I think everyone knows

that by now.

SABRINA: Air Force 1s

are too athleisure for me.

Converse are as classic as

blue jeans.

LUMIA:^ I^ wore^

Converse back in my day,

before I knew better, and I

would have to buy new ones

after three months of wear.

SABRINA: Converse r

ve gan ... Air Force 1s are

singlehandedly destroying

the planet.

LUMIA: It only matters

that Converse are vegan

if u eat vegan.

SABRINA: Ever heard

of climate change?

Leather takes 50 years to

decompose, canvas

takes one.

LUMIA: Hence why Air

Forces last forever.

SABRINA: Rubber sole

takes 80 years, I’d rather

the Earth last longer than

my shoes tbh.

LUMIA:^ But^ if^ you^ have^

shoes that last forever

ra ther than buying

multiples of the same shoe,

isn’t that better for Earth?

SABRINA: Maybe

Air Force 1 wearers just

don’t care about the

environment tho...

LUMIA:^ Are^ u^ even^

vegan?

Re: the colorway, Air Force

1s in white are all u need, if

you want a different color,

paint them.

SABRINA: Painting

white Air Force ones would

look so fucking nasty are

you kidding.

LUMIA: Closing

arguments are that Air

Forces are cuter, easier to

put on, more versatile,

and don’t break your feet

in half when u try to break

them in, and they also

don’t break once broken in.

SABRINA: Air Force 1s

are ugly, make ur legs look

thick and disproportionate,

make everything look

athleisurey, shitty style-

bloggery, or instathotty.

Converse are classic,

go with everything, anyone

can wear them, don’t make

ur legs look like a centaur

body, and are better for the

environment.

LUMIA:^ The^ leg^ thing^ is^

literally untrue and is what

Converse do to ur legs.

SABRINA: I stand by

what I said, converse r hot.

LUMIA:^ She’s^ not^

even vegan.

SUNGLASSES,

a square

movement?

Harlow Metal

Square

Sunglasses, $18

Yes, overall the

crowd still favors

the already-well-

established-for-

their-coolness circle

lenses, but squared

and rectangular

shapes also show

potential. One teen

praised the pair

above. “Ugh,

I live for this st yle

of sunglasses,”

another said.

Apple AirPods,

$159

Second to their

phone, this is what

most teens said

they always have

on them (or want

on them). “Ninety

percent of my

friends use their

AirPods every day,”

said Charlie. “They

are easy to carry

around and have

very good sound.”

What they all

have/want:

AIRPODS

What’s Something

All Your Friends Have?

SCRUNCHIES!

“I know this is so basic, but velvet

scrunchies are really in right now—

well, at least in my school.” —REESE

“All my friends have hair ties,

the thin black ones we

secure around our wrists.” —AMY

“Every girl I know has a scrunchie

in every color.” —SYDNEY

We asked teens in both camps—No Agency

New York models Lumia and Sabrina—to defend their

allegiance to each sneaker over text.

The two most mentioned sneakers.
