First collage illustration, art direction & design for @allure about refillable beauty packaging and if it’s actually “sustainable” 🥀 Part of an Earth Day 2026 series. Swipe to see alternative art I created for this that I am equally proud of 💐 Excited to be collaborating with Allure and looking forward to sharing more projects soon! 💖

Infinitely reusable moisturizer jars and lipstick jars sound amazing-in theory. “In real world applications... refills are one of the weakest sustainability strategies in my experience,” says @allisonturquoise, an independent beauty packaging and sustainability consultant. She is one of the many experts Allure contributor @kara.mcgrath spoke to in her investigation into the state of beauty refill programs in 2026—and she’s not alone in her pessimism. But there’s also some hope as brands get smarter-and more realistic. Get all the details at the link in our bio, plus straight talk on how and when to refill-and the currently more effective ways to reduce the beauty waste you leave in your smooth-skinned, shiny-haired wake.

First collage illustration, art direction & design for @allure about refillable beauty packaging and if it’s actually “sustainable” 🥀 Part of an Earth Day 2026 series. Swipe to see alternative art I created for this that I am equally proud of 💐 Excited to be collaborating with Allure and looking forward to sharing more projects soon! 💖

Infinitely reusable moisturizer jars and lipstick jars sound amazing-in theory. “In real world applications... refills are one of the weakest sustainability strategies in my experience,” says @allisonturquoise, an independent beauty packaging and sustainability consultant. She is one of the many experts Allure contributor @kara.mcgrath spoke to in her investigation into the state of beauty refill programs in 2026—and she’s not alone in her pessimism. But there’s also some hope as brands get smarter-and more realistic. Get all the details at the link in our bio, plus straight talk on how and when to refill-and the currently more effective ways to reduce the beauty waste you leave in your smooth-skinned, shiny-haired wake.

I’m turning 30 exactly one week from today!!! 🌟 It’s surreal to pause and reflect on how far I’ve come especially before my thirties, as well as where I’m headed next. As I near my birthday, more and more do I become aware of what I’m choosing — and I realize that part of my growth, success, and joy going into this next chapter is going to be fully and unapologetically choosing myself. Here’s to turning 30 in the year of the fire horse ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 There is so much momentum this year already and I am super excited for what is in store going forward! 💫💫💫
