If you don’t know about Into The Gloss’ Top Shelf yet, you have some serious catching up to do. The online series features beauty-focused interviews with musicians, actresses, models, celebrities, and all-around cool girls who—you guessed it—also show us their actual top shelf of products. This week, Into The Gloss’ founder Emily Weiss caught up with Selena Gomez in her L.A. digs where she spilled the deets on everything from her thoughts on lipstick to her morning beauty routine to past fashion mishaps. The entire interview is fantastic, TBH, but here are eight things we just couldn’t wait to share with y’all right this second.

1. SHE GOOGLES HER PREVIOUS ENSEMBLES
“Sometimes I Google myself and look at what I wore last year—it kind of sucks to see when you got [your outfit] wrong, but it’s nice to have that instant yearbook.”
2. SHE’LL NEVER DEFINE HER STYLE
“But I never wear anything for any purpose other than making myself happy. So, I love dressing up, I like trying new things. I’m inspired by music constantly, too—you can get away with more daring looks, like a ton of glitter that’ll look awesome in certain lighting. I don’t think you should ever have to ‘define your style’ because when you’re 22, you probably aren’t going to dress the same way you did when you were 16. You can define it for maybe a year at a time and that’s it.”
3. THIS IS HER MOST CRINGE-WORTHY OUTFIT

“Oh my God—there was this time when I went to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party and I wore a shirt that said ‘Hotter than’ something, and a belt with these weird net-y tights and boots, and like, a sock—it looked horrendous and then I put a blue streak in my hair. And I remember, I looked in the mirror and I was like—‘I feel so cool.’ And I mean, that’s awesome that I felt so good. But I cringe looking at it now.”
4. HER MORNING BEAUTY ROUTINE = EVERYTHING
“When I don’t get a chance to do the whole routine in the morning, it really bums me out. It kind of affects your mood when you don’t take enough time to pamper yourself. When I’m home, I like to wake up at least an hour before I need to just to have coffee and not have makeup on.”

5. THE LESS MAKEUP, THE BETTER
“Another thing I learned from my nanna and my mom is that less is more—you never want to look like you’re caked in anything. Most of the time I like to look matte, unless I’m on a red carpet—then it’s all about the Eva Mendes look with that glow.”
6. SHE’S TRYING TO EMBRACE HER NATURAL WAVES
“When my hair is natural, I have that Latina feel—it gets wavy and frizzy and I’ve had to learn to love it. You obviously always want what you don’t have, which is why I wear it straight so often. Recently though, I’ve been trying to wear it beachy because that’s a little more natural to who I am.”

7. SHE DOESN’T WEAR LIPSTICK IRL
“I never wear lipstick or lip gloss in my normal everyday life, but I do put the Fresh Sugar Lip Serum on morning and night to keep my lips hydrated.”
8. BEING A WOMAN IS A GIFT
“The older I get, the prouder I am to be a woman in the industry. When I was younger and running around all the time on tour, I don’t think I took the time to notice how being a woman in my position is really a gift. I want to make sure I utilize all that power.”
