There’s something magical about reading when the world goes quiet — when your heart feels wide open, and the only thing you need is a story to get lost in.
If you’ve been craving fiction that feels like a warm bath for your soul (or a little red wine in literary form), this one’s for you.
These seven stories, all written and published by Lee on Wattpad, are full of emotion, mood, and magic. From poetic slow burns to mysterious thrillers and soft, intimate reflections, they’re made for readers who want to feel every page.
After catching her fiancé cheating, a pregnant hotel critic escapes to a wild, cliffside guesthouse run by a former flamenco dancer and her fiercely loyal chosen family—queer women who once defied a dictatorship with rhythm, rebellion, and love. Grilled sardines, old secrets, sunset dances, and one unforgettable summer await. → Found family. Flamenco at golden hour. A birth, a death, and the fierce joy in between.
Selena travels to Thailand to recover from tragedy. What she finds instead is a strange stillness, a kind caretaker named Than, and a love story told more through silence than words. But in a hospital where time slips and memories shift, reality begins to unravel. → A poetic, dreamlike story of grief, healing, and unspoken love. Content warning: themes of loss, medical trauma, and emotional complexity.
A tender collection of poems about soft love, brown skin in golden light, late-night longing, and the sweetness of staying—even when it hurts. → For lovers of softness, slowness, and skin-warmed poetry.
Poetry for the ones who fell quietly, loved almost, and remember too much. Every page is a soft ache—a hallway glance, a missed moment, a memory you can’t let go. → Gentle, sad, and beautifully intimate.
Hana wakes up missing a tattoo—and the memories tied to it. As the ink reappears, so do fragments of a buried secret she swore to forget. But some marks aren’t meant to fade… and someone else wants the truth hidden again. → A sharp, atmospheric mystery with memory, magic, and a supernatural twist.
What starts as a craving for snacks turns into a chaotic, hilarious trip through space—complete with talking fruit, emotional frogs, and goodbye wrapped in glitter and weirdness. → Whimsical, trippy, unexpectedly tender. Feels like crying from laughter and love at the same time.
There’s no record of Room 404—but Nawin gets assigned there anyway. He wants quiet. What he gets is Top: cocky, half-naked, and always in his way. Tension turns electric. Arguments get too quiet. And soon, the line between hate and want blurs into something neither of them expected. → A steamy, slow-burn roommate romance set in a room that doesn’t follow the rules—and neither do they.

No time for constant touch-ups? Same. That’s why we’re obsessed with the latest wave of stain-based makeup—think lip tints, cheek stains, and eye formulas that stay put no matter how long your day (or night) runs. These viral essentials are all about long wear, no fuss, and effortless glam—perfect for summer heat, humidity, and everything in between. Whether you’re brunching, beaching, or just booked and busy, these stain-forward picks deliver color that sticks (in the best way). Ready to swipe, stain, and slay all day? Let’s get into it.
Complexion Check: Blush that disappears by lunchtime? Been there. But with stain-based blush on the rise, your cheeks can stay rosy all day long—no mirror check required. These skin-loving tints melt in like second skin and give that fresh, flushed glow that won’t fade, smudge, or slide (even in the summer heat). Our current crushes? Milk Makeup’s Jelly Tint for a juicy pop of color, and Sacheu’s STAY-N Liquid Blush, aka the secret to that “I woke up with this baby-cheek flush” kind of energy. Just dab, blend, and go—your cheeks are set.
Eyes & Lips: Let’s be real — lip stains are having the moment. From Wonderskin’s viral peel-off tint to Huda Beauty’s 12-Hour Lip Contour, these long-wear legends are sip-proof, kiss-proof, and totally touch-up-free. Whether you’re lining, filling, or layering, these stains give you juicy color that sticks around (no purse mirror needed).

It’s Here: Rare Beauty’s First-Ever Perfume Just Dropped — And It’s Everything
Rare Eau de Parfum has officially arrived, and yes, Selena Gomez delivered. Think warm, soft, and delicious — the kind of scent that wraps you up like a cozy hug. But this isn’t just about smelling good. True to Selena’s vision, Rare Beauty’s debut fragrance is all about inclusivity and intention.
The bottle? Thoughtfully designed for everyone, including those with limited mobility. The experience? Totally customizable — layer it with balms, play with scent combos, and make it your own.
Selena said it best: “I wanted to create a fragrance that could evolve with the moment.” And just like that, your new signature scent might’ve found you.
Rare Eau de Parfum is all about contrast — sweet, cozy, and just a little unexpected. It opens with dreamy notes of caramel, pistachio, and vanilla (yes, it smells edible), then melts into something deeper with warm ginger and creamy sandalwood. Basically, it’s a dessert — but make it grown and mysterious.
And the genius behind the scent? Jérôme Epinette — the same perfumer behind Byredo and Sol de Janeiro — so you know it’s going to hit.
To take things even further, Selena launched four Fragrance Layering Balms: Amber Vanilla, Floral Peony Blossom, Fresh Bergamot, and Woody Oak. Wear them solo or layer with the perfume to dial up certain vibes, play with texture, or boost staying power. Your scent, your rules.
Fragrance for All — Thoughtfully Designed, Beautifully Inclusive
Selena didn’t just want Rare Eau de Parfum to smell amazing — she wanted everyone to be able to enjoy it. That’s why the bottle was co-created with hand therapists and ergonomic experts, designed specifically for those with limited mobility, including conditions like arthritis or lupus. For Selena, this was personal — her own journey with lupus deeply shaped how she approaches beauty and self-care.
Rare Beauty has already led the way with accessible design — like the soft, easy-to-use applicator on their viral liquid blush. Now, they’re taking that same care into the world of fragrance, where accessibility is often overlooked.
Rare Eau de Parfum and its dreamy Layering Balms officially launch at Sephora on August 6. So yes — soon, you can smell like Selena, your way.

🛍️ Available at Sephora starting August 6 — shop here and get ready to smell like Selena.
The Vibe? Think… • Sweet and woodsy — a scent with depth, designed to feel personal and wearable • Rare Beauty’s mission of emotional, accessible beauty bottled up • A fragrance that feels like nostalgia, self-love, and a moment you’ll never forget
Leave it to Selena Gomez to turn her first fragrance into something more than just a scent — Rare Eau de Parfum is a memory in a bottle. As the debut perfume from Rare Beauty, it captures everything we love about the brand: thoughtful, emotional, and made to feel personal.
Crafted with renowned perfumer Jérôme Epinette (the nose behind Byredo favorites), Rare is sweet yet grounded — think creamy caramel and pistachio with a pop of pink pepper, softened by notes of ginger, vanilla, and skin musk, and finished with a dreamy haze of sandalwood and tonka bean. The vibe? A wedding-day fragrance meets your everyday signature — elegant, comforting, and unforgettable.
Selena reportedly wore Rare for her 32nd birthday, while developing the scent, and during her recent engagement to Benny Blanco. It’s more than perfume — it’s the scent of her favorite moments, and now, it can be part of yours.
Romantic. Real. Rare. Let’s dive into the scent that’s about to take over vanities everywhere.
Selena Thought of Everything — Down to the Last Detail 💫
When it comes to beauty with purpose, Selena Gomez doesn’t miss. Knowing firsthand how important accessibility is — especially for those living with autoimmune conditions — she ensured that Rare Eau de Parfumwas designed to be both functional and beautiful. With help from certified hand therapists, the bottle was crafted to feel easy, comfortable, and luxe in your hand — no fussy spritzers, just a sculptural design that’s as chic on your vanity as it is effortless to use.
And because personalization is the new luxury, Rare didn’t stop at the perfume. Launching alongside it? Four Fragrance Layering Balms that let you create your own signature scent moment: • Floral Peony Blossom • Amber Vanilla • Fresh Bergamot • Woody Oak (Selena’s go-to for an after-shower ritual that feels indulgent yet low-key)
Wear them solo or layer with Rare Eau de Parfum for a scent that’s uniquely you. It’s all about self-expression, softness, and rituals that feel real — exactly what we expect from Rare Beauty.
Rare Moments, Real Meaning 💖
For Selena Gomez, this perfume isn’t just a fragrance — it’s a reflection of her life, her health journey, and the values at the heart of Rare Beauty. From the beginning, Rare has stood for inclusivity, intention, and emotional connection — and Rare Eau de Parfum continues that mission in the most personal way yet.
This is more than scent — it’s self-expression with soul. The design, the story, the feel — every detail was made with care. And behind it all is the Rare Impact Fund, which has already raised $20 million in just five years to support mental health initiatives through 30 nonprofits worldwide. With the launch of Rare’s first fragrance, the community is invited to connect on an even deeper level — through scent, memory, and purpose.
Selena’s choice to lead with vulnerability and meaning makes this so much more than just a perfume. From the way it sits comfortably in your hand, to the way it stirs emotion, to the campaign’s raw and real storytelling — Rare Eau de Parfum feels intimate, powerful, and quietly revolutionary.
Yes, it’s beautiful on your vanity — but more importantly, it’s a reminder that beauty can be meaningful. And that’s always been the Rare way.
So, whether you’re layering it for a moment that’s all your own or spritzing it on before stepping into your day, Rare Eau de Parfum is more than a scent — it’s a feeling, a memory, a mood.
Because the most beautiful moments? They’re the ones that feel real, intentional, and uniquely yours.
💫 Romanticize your rituals. Celebrate your Rare moments. 💫
