The Fancii Abigail Makes Getting Ready Easy
I think it's a universal law that your makeup looks best if you apply it while sitting on the floor. As someone who travels frequently from tent to car to hotel to friends' houses, a good lighted makeup mirror is indispensable. As I mention in my guide to the best Lighted Makeup Mirrors, I'm the queen of doing my makeup in random places on a time crunch. The Fancii Abigail is a top-tier makeup companion, or my middle name isn't Abigail. (It literally is.)

The Fancii Abigail measures nearly 8 inches across and folds down into a flat, thin little disc that weighs about a pound. It's easy to pack into a backpack or suitcase. In my experience, it's pretty durable. I've dropped it a few times, and it still looks brand-new. The folding design protects the mirror from scratches and fingerprints. That disc unfurls into a makeup mirror that's not too big or too small. It's large enough that I can see my full face easily, unlike a smaller compact. And it's small enough that I can take it with me from place to place. It wouldn't be ideal for truly on-the-go touch-ups, but it's perfect for getting ready without needing to lean over a hotel bathroom counter or crane your neck to see a mirror that's awkwardly placed. I usually keep it in my backpack just in case I need to apply a full face on a whim. I wish it came in more colors—it's currently available in white or black—but I plan on decorating the outside with stickers soon to make it look a little more 'me.' Good Looks

The Fancii Abigail has a neat ring light built right in. There are three light temperature settings—soft white, natural daylight, and neutral white. Cycling through those helps ensure that your makeup is slaying no matter what environment you're in. It's plenty bright, and the battery lasts for a month (or longer, in my testing—it's got approximately 10 hours of run time total), and it recharges in about two hours via USB-C. You can even use it while it's charging. The adjustable angle has made my life easier no matter where I'm applying my makeup. You can open it up to look like a giant compact—it's a little top-heavy this way, but maneuvering makes it work—or you can fold it out again for a stand-up option with a more adjustable viewing angle. The interface is easy to use—tap a touchscreen button to turn it on, hold the power button to adjust brightness, and tap the temperature button to cycle through lighting settings. When you're done, the whole thing closes with a satisfying click. And it stays closed reliably, though it's also pretty easy to open thanks to the nail groove near the clasp.

Ticker: ESPN's New York Shows Are on the Move
Top of the Ticker: ESPN is joining Good Morning America and ABC News' other programming at Disney's 7 Hudson Square HQ in Manhattan. The Disney-owned sports network is moving its New York-based shows from their perch at Seaport Studios, where they've been since 2018. Get Up will be the first show to air out of the new space on June 9, followed by First Take on June 23, alongside ESPN Radio's signature morning show UnSportsmanLike. New Promo: Meanwhile, GMA has debuted a new promo campaign that marks the start of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Titled 'Coming Home,' the promo features co-anchors Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, and Michael Strahan-as well as the show's extended family-visiting their respective hometowns. The promo could also be viewed as an indirect nod to the show's move from Times Square to its new home at 7 Hudson Square sometime this summer. Pride Celebrations: Speaking of ABC News, the network has announced programming initiatives to celebrate Pride Month. Airing across all dayparts and properties, coverage will feature reporting, interviews, and features highlighting people, stories, and issues important to the LGBTQ+ community. C-Span: C-SPAN debuted a refreshed on-air graphics look across its networks this week. 'Our new look was designed in-house with internal feedback as well as a review of comments from viewers over the years,' executive producer Paul Brown said in a statement provided to TVNewser. 'One of our primary goals was to enhance brand consistency by creating a unified look that eventually will run across all our platforms.' Brown also noted that C-SPAN's last major graphics occurred back in 2018. Increased tech coverage: Bloomberg is launching two new monthly tech programs, broadening its global coverage with region-specific offerings. Bloomberg Tech: Europe, anchored by Tom Mackenzie, debuts on June 13 at 1:30 a.m. ET; and Bloomberg Tech: Asia, co-anchored by Shery Ahn and Annabelle Droulers, premieres on June 27 at 8:30 p.m. ET. These programs complement the existing Bloomberg Tech, which airs at 11 a.m. ET, and recently unveiled a refreshed format with new branding and graphics.

Nintendo Switch 2: Early review thoughts from our first days with the gaming system
Now that most of us have managed to acquire our Switch 2, it's time to get playing. I mean, testing. The Nintendo Switch 2 became available in stores yesterday and started shipping out to those who got their pre-orders in. Those who pre-ordered via Walmart appeared to have been the luckiest, not only receiving their units first thing in the morning but also getting bonus snacks and drinks. Many of us who didn't get to pre-order one in April were pleasantly surprised that we were able to pick up the product in physical retail stores. While we've already gotten a couple of detailed hands-on opportunities for the Switch 2, this being day 2 means we now have unfettered access to the new $449 Nintendo portable console with its latest release software installed. The liveblog below is a reverse chronological collection of our thoughts, but here's a quick summary of where we left things yesterday: "We're nearing the end of the day, and here's a quick breakdown of where things stand and what we've covered in this liveblog. For those looking to acquire a Switch 2 on launch day, it seems like most people making trips to retail stores were largely successful, and stock seems to be plentiful, even without pre-orders. Those who are looking for supply online are having a tougher time, while members of our team who pre-ordered have had to wait a lot longer for their devices to show up. Our Aaron Souppouris has received his pre-ordered... controller. But his Switch 2 remains en route and has yet to show up at his doorstep. As for our review impressions so far — our senior reviewer Sam Rutherford is hard at work putting our official full review together, but he's been updating this liveblog with his evaluations today. He noted that, based on his lightmeter's readings, the Switch 2's display goes up to 450 nits with ambient brightness enabled, and tops out at 400 nits without. It's comparatively dim for a device with HDR, but the numbers can get higher depending on the game. Sam also hasn't found the device to run too hot so far and that's not just because of the new dock's built-in fan. To him the dock is sleeker and feels a bit more substantial than before. He found it odd that the dock has just three USB ports instead of four on the original Switch's dock, but the new console has one more socket, which sort of balances things out. Sam pointed out that the dock only has a single USB-C port, though, and that's reserved for power. With the remaining two ports on the dock being USB-A, you may need adapters to plug in your USB-C accessories, like the official Switch 2 camera, for instance. You could plug it directly into the Switch 2, but that's not ideal for people who frequently dock and undock their systems."

We've already written plenty about the Switch 2, and you can check out our earlier coverage to catch up on all the relevant details so far: And now — our liveblog of our second day with the Switch 2. Hello everyone! Thanks for joining us today as we put together our collective thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2 while our full review is under way. We were eager to get our impressions out to you, and though our senior reviewer Sam Rutherford will handle the complete review, many members of the Engadget team will contribute to this review-in-progress to offer various perspectives.
