Our affiliate partnerships do not influence which products, brands, or trends we choose to cover, or how we write about them. Our priority is always honest, useful style and lifestyle guidance to our readers.
How This Works
A breakdown of our affiliate links, sponsored content, and brand partnerships.
Affiliate Links
When we link out to a retailer or product—for example, in our Shopping edits, Fashion roundups, or Beauty picks—some of those links are affiliate links through partner programs. We only link to products we believe are genuinely relevant to the article's topic and worth a reader's time.
Sponsored Content
If an article, section, or placement is paid for or provided by an advertiser or brand, we label it clearly as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" at the top of the content, in compliance with FTC guidelines.
Brand & Product Mentions
Brand names and product mentions appearing across our Fashion, Beauty, Living, and Culture stories are primarily unpaid editorial choices based on merit and relevance to the story. Any paid or affiliate placements are explicitly noted where they appear.
Our Editorial Independence
Commercial relationships do not determine our opinions, ratings, or recommendations. If a product, service, or brand doesn't meet our editorial standards, we will not recommend it regardless of any partnership in place.
Have Questions?
If you have questions about a specific link, partnership, or piece of sponsored content, please feel free to reach out to our team.
