L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive.

A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin.

Blind Senior Chihuahua Who 'Hates Everyone' Delights Internet with Antics
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A blind and elderly chihuahua with just three teeth—and a serious grudge against humanity—has left the internet in stitches. TikToker Lopai (@blackcow_mu) shared a video of the tiny dog trying to get comfy in bed, capturing hearts across the app. The video, showcasing the grumpy but determined pup, has racked up an astonishing 2.4 million likes and 16.6 million views. "My parents' 100 years old chihuahua who's blind, has three teeth, hates literally everyone, shakes and refuses to die. Queen never die," reads the text overlaying the viral video. In the comments, Lopai clarified the pup's age is actually 14 years old. According to the American Kennel Club, a 14-year-old dog would be roughly 76 in human years using its newer age calculation method—which accounts for size specific aging. Chihuahuas, one of the smallest recognized dog breeds, are known for their big personalities packed into a tiny frame. According to the AKC, they're alert, charming, and graceful, often forming tight bonds with their humans. Despite their small size, they have bold attitudes and can act as surprisingly effective watchdogs. These traits may contribute to their long lives—chihuahuas are among the longest-living dog breeds. They typically live between 14 and 16 years, according to PetMD. However, their reputation is a bit more complicated. As Dogster explains, chihuahuas often get a bad rap due to poor training and lack of socialization, which can lead to aggressive or territorial behavior. They're frequently labeled as yappy or mean, even though much of that behavior stems from fear or mishandling by owners unfamiliar with the breed's quirks. A stock image showing a chihuahua sleeping in bed. A stock image showing a chihuahua sleeping in bed. Sara Parolin/iStock / Getty Images Plus None of this stopped TikTokers from rallying around the sassy senior in the video. "My chihuahua turning 14 who had a 100 pound dog bite and fall on her, ate chocolate and crayons, has fallen down stairs, beaten up two puppies, fell through my bed and jaw locked because her water was too cold still out here vibing," said one user. "Queen Chiuauabeth II," quipped another. "Why do chihuahuas refuse to die," joked Kai. "My grandparents has had the same chihuahua for 20 flipping years snd she is till standing like a queen QUEEN NEVER DIE," shared another user. "Main characters never die," said another. "Chihuahuas are indestructible," added another commenter. "My dog lived to be like 110 years in dog years," said Ceci. "My cat was 20 (in human years) when he died," said another user, chiming in with their own tale of long-lived pets. Newsweek reached out to @blackcow_mu for comment via TikTok.

Huda Lip Contour Lip Stain, Tested and Reviewed by an Editor
Fun fact: Whenever I see a new makeup product reach TikTok fame, the beauty journalist in me must try it, pronto. Maybe it's a problem, but hey, a girl can have hobbies. The latest viral sensations (the products, not me) to pique my interest are Huda Beauty's Lip Contour Stains and Faux Filler Jelly Oils. These lip stain pens and lip oils launched a few weeks ago, and in possibly the most iconic way. Huda Kattan, founder of Huda Beauty, took to social media, posting a video of her doing the 'burger test'. She tucked into a juicy burger wearing the new lip stains and jelly oils and ~ shock ~ the stain didn't move. My attention was grabbed, and then secured when I saw other major TikTokers like Mikayla Nogueira try it out. The stain and oil can be bought separately to create the illusion of fuller lips or a glossy sheen. But when paired together, that's where the magic happens, as you're left with a pigmented, smudge-proof lip that has the same shine as a jelly doughnut on top. The duo is called Huda's Jelly Stained Lip Kit after all. The lip stain is available in eight shades to flatter a wide range of skin and lip tones, ranging from soft pinks to caramel-y warm nudes and, of course, a punchy red to top it off. The first thing I noticed was how fluffy the liner tip was, not like the usual felt-tip style nib of other lip stains. Yes, it felt smooth on my smackers but as I blended, I discovered that the applicator helped diffuse the stain for a plump and contoured effect. I was also surprised at how lightweight the stain felt. Not once did my lips feel dehydrated or in desperate need of lip balm, and it's thanks to argan oil which helped to seamlessly glide on the pigment but also keep my lips feeling hydrated. The finishing touch is the new Faux Filler Jelly Oil. Don't get me wrong, the stains have enough 'wow' factor to be worn alone for a natural, plump look. But, IMO, they really come to life with the ultra-glossy lip oil. They're available in three wearable, pinky shades—Pink Lady, Peach and Goji—each adding the most juicy, non-sticky sheen of oil to really make the pigment pop. They also contain peptides and shea butter, so these oils are great to slather on, even without the stain, if your lips are feeling a little parched. I was honestly surprised at how well the pigment lasted, barely budging throughout an entire evening filled with drinks, dinner, and a theatre production involving a lot of laughing (and ice cream). The oil, as I'd expect, wore off following dinner, but the stain lasted for at least seven hours. And I'm sure if I hadn't gone to bed, it would have lasted the entire 12. Now, here's the only caveat. When I first used the stain, I was disappointed at how many times I had to go over with the pen for the pigment to really pop. But then I discovered that there's a reason for it. The formula contains a polymer named polyurethane-3,5, which is held in a cotton-like mechanism. Due to its viscous nature, the stain struggles to flow down the tip if it's pointing upwards. So it's best to store the pen upside down to ensure the stain flows to the tip of the pen and draws an intensely pigmented line. Considering my makeup storage of choice is a filthy cosmetic bag, I wouldn't say this is exactly convenient. However, I'm willing to overlook this for the pigmented pout that withstands any snack or smooch. As for the oils, a summer staple that's for sure.

A colorful pan — from BuzzFeed's Goodful line — that's not just cute, but has the ability to kick all of your other dented and scratched pots to the curb as it can pan fry, sauté, sear, boil, simmer, blanche, braise, poach, deep fry, stew... and more but I'll stop myself there. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks, so you can girl math two more Pilates classes into your weekly budget!

An Amazon Basics 6-quart Dutch oven that people compare to budget-busting versions from Le Creuset, Staub, and Lodge. Cutting costs here means you can invest more in ingredients!

The Gym People's pullover fleece sweatshirt if you like the look of Lululemon's oversized scuba hoodies but can't bear to part with $118. A sunrise alarm clock reviewers say is super comparable to Hatch's as it offers seven nature sounds and slowly wakes you up over the course of 30 minutes by mimicking a sunrise. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set that's sure to pass for Skims but honor your TJ Maxx budget. A tube of E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter — a $14 alternative to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter — with a hyaluronic acid- and squalane-infused formula that beautifully blurs pores and leaves you dewy and radiant. A faux-leather bag that can straight up pass for Polène's Cyme.

NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip — a TikTok-approved Dior alternative that delivers the perfect pout for under 10 bucks!

The French know what they're doing and these Chanel-inspired heels are a no-brainer. A high-neck cropped tank that reviewers swear by as it offers loads of support ( reviewer with G cups says they don't even have to wear a bra!), isn't see-through, and its quality is on par with much more expensive options from Athleta and Lululemon. A beaded shoulder bag you'll immediately treat as well as your firstborn child so it stays in the best condition imaginable. It's v similar to options from Staud if you love the look but simply can't afford the brand! A dazzling cubic zirconia ring that looks *just* like the one you've seen on the hand of many a celeb and influencer — but for $10. Just keep it away from water (and maybe don't wear it to Solidcore classes if you sweat a lot), and you'll get your money's worth. A Briotech spray reviewers compare to Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. Similar to its pricier counterpart, the mist employs hypochlorous acid to fight off irritants and target all sorts of skin woes from acne and rosacea to eczema and dermatitis. And a set of amber glass soap dispensers that look a whole lot like the ones from Aesop, but won't run you over $40 a pop. Fill 'em with your products of choice and get ready for loads of compliments for guests!
