The reviews are in on Benefit’ new Hoola Wave Bronzing Balm, a cream version (well, kind of … read the story on Allure to learn about the unexpected formula). Spoiler alert: I’ve already added it to my everyday makeup routine (and realised I look MUCH better with bronzer). #makeup #makeupreviews

This is what happens when you negotiate with a terrorist.

Picked a real interesting day to watch Conclave

💬 Polish PM Tusk: "Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose."

The amount of layoffs happening in media, fashion, and beauty right now is staggering, with very few companies hiring at the moment. The mood is bleak. Add all of these reported government layoffs into the mix & I don’t see how this isn’t going to lead to major unemployment issues across the US.

I know most Americans don’t care probably, but this betrayal aches for many, many people

It certainly will be interesting to see what concessions Trump is able to get from Putin. So far, it sounds like the dictator who invaded our ally gets everything he wants and gives up nothing. We will see.

“On Wednesday, Musk shared a faked video claiming USAID had sponsored celebrity visits to Ukraine. Darren Linvill of Clemson University’s Media Forensics Hub told NBC News the video was manufactured Russian propaganda.”

My latest product review for Allure on EltaMD’s new green-tinted mineral sunscreen. It’s a real game changer for sensitive skin and a real triumph in formulation.

Dear @Netflix.bsky.social

Please consider making Bucha movie available in more countries.It’s a very important film that everybody should see

Friends,please help share this post to show that the interest in the movie is high

Thank for supporting Ukrainian filmmakers& important stories,Netflix!

Can we please stop celebrating a film that hired 🇷🇺 actors who still live there (so they’re paying taxes, thus supporting the country’s illegal war in 🇺🇦). One of the actors even vocally supported 🇷🇺’s illegal takeover of Crimea.

Deeply unnerving.

1. Do not obey in advance.
2. Protect institutions.

@ukrarthistory.bsky.social so happy you’re here! I’ve checked everyday since I joined to see if you had, too. Love your content so much!! 💙💛

Sitting in the corridor during a massive missile attack, the second this month, and reading about plans to negotiate with Putin. Feels surreal.

Welp. Looks like #GoldenGlobes is still trash. Nominating a 🇷🇺 actor who lives in Moscow & supported the annexation of Crime. ruzzians are celebrating this global recognition on and demanding ppl separate culture from war…as their government is actively trying to eradicate Ukrainian culture #ukraine

I wasn’t particularly active on that other platform, and not sure if the beauty industry has migrated over yet, but wanted to introduce myself and share the story I’m proudest of from this year—a look at how #Ukraine’s salon industry amidst full-scale war and #beauty’s role in times of conflict.
