I might be a beauty editor with a mountain of face creams, mascara, and perfume at my desk. But when it’s time for me actually to wind down, I’m not grabbing a sheet mask or deep conditioner; I’m reaching into my nightstand for a vibrator. Obviously, I feel better after. Lighter, happier, brighter. But I look better too. My skin glows, my cheeks have a rosy flush.
The Cosmo x PlusOne All Yours collection was built around the idea that intimacy and beauty intersect with the brand-new All Made Up Vibe that launches today. Nope, it’s not a makeup product; it’s a pretty dang powerful vibrator (not too different from the Read my Lipstick Vibe that launched last fall and resembles, you guessed it, a lipstick). But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer the same (ish) benefits. Stress reduction, better sleep, improved circulation, more confidence—there are more ways to feel and look your best than a swipe of concealer.
The face of the campaign is Shan Boodram, a sex and relationships educator and content creator. You may have seen her on Too Hot to Handle or being honest about pleasure and connection on her podcast, Lovers by Shan, which has over five million listeners on Spotify.
The campaign’s message, “the pleasure is all yours,” is all about owning your own pleasure, says Boodram. “Far too often, as women, we're waiting for someone to give us permission, and then we'll admit that we like something,” she says. “But truly, when you own your pleasure, and you move through the world with that kind of agency, everybody else gets on board.”
Not to mention, she fully believes self-pleasuring is one of the best beauty hacks out there. “It makes your skin glow, your cheeks flushed, your pupils dilated. It makes you stand up a little straighter,” she says. “And in addition, it also makes you feel good from the inside, and that permeates on the outside.”
We actually let some of our Club Cosmo community try out the vibrator before launch (proof it pays to become a Club Cosmo member!). “Perfect little addition to your self-care routine that fits in perfectly in your makeup bag, and no one will ever know,” one reviewer writes. Another noted that they’d “never get bored” with 10 different vibration settings. “
The vibrator (and its campaign) launches today at Target, Amazon, and myPlusOne.com.
