Clarins debuts lip bar pop-up in SoHo
French prestige beauty brand Clarins opened over the weekend a two-day immersive pop-up experience celebrating the debut of its new Water Lip Stains and a 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Lip Oil in Shade Iconic 54, along with other iconic favorites.
Dubbed "Sweetheart Saloon", the 'Texas-meets-Parisian' pop-up blended Clarins' signature French glamour with Southern charm in a unique beauty bar experience. It featured a lip oil bar, a vintage photo booth, and a temporary tattoo parlor.
The Sweetheart Saloon experience was further elevated with lip-inspired sodas and treats. Utah's viral soda shop Swig served custom drinks infused with edible sparkles, poured in-person by founder Nicole Tanner. Guests were also offered sweets from cult-favorite candy brand Lil Sweet Treats. Lastly, The Traitors winner Dylan Efron made an exclusive appearance in the saloon on Saturday.
To bring the campaign to life beyond the saloon doors, Clarins teamed up with social media stars Kennedy Eurich and Alencia Lewis for an out-of-home takeover in SoHo, and tapped AI artist Sam Finn to create teaser content for social.
The pop-up kicked off with an exclusive preview for over 100 guests, including NYC-based influencers such as the Nader Sisters, Evange, Luca Mornet, and celebrity hairstylist Jennifer Yepez.

French word of the day: Cadeau empoisonné
Why do I need to know cadeau empoisonné ? Because this expression will help you illustrate your evil side. What does it mean ? The expression is composed of cadeau , which means 'gift', and empoisonné , meaning 'poisoned'. So a cadeau empoisonné is literally a poisoned gift. Obviously, it is not exactly nice. It is a figurative way of saying that you are getting rid of something annoying, boring or difficult by passing it on somebody else - the English would be to hand someone a poisoned chalice. Advertisement But here is the subtlety of cadeau empoisonné - you present the situation as if you were doing a favour to the person, to hide your real intentions. The person to whom you've given the cadeau empoisonné will first be thankful for the responsibility you've entrusted them with, until they realise why you did that. But it will be too late. For example, when French Health minister Agnès Buzyn left her post at the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis (because she has to take over from a Paris mayoral candidate with a certain online video ) her replacement Olivier Véran received a big promotion - and an enormous challenge to deal with. He got a real cadeau empoisonné . Through history and mythology there are numerous examples of 'poisoned gifts' - from the Trojan horse to Snow White's apple - but the most famous French story of this is almost certainly untrue. The legend goes that the Medieval French queen Catherine de Medici gave her daughter's future mother-in-law Jeanne Albret, the Huguenot Queen of Navarre, a gift of perfumed leather gloves which were laced with poison, killing the protestant queen. In fact, Jeanne had tuberculosis, which is almost certainly what killed her, and the poisoned glove story was part of a smear campaign against Catherine, who was nicknamed la reine serpent (the serpent queen) by her political enemies. Use it like this Confier toute l'organisation au stagiaire la veille de la réunion était un cadeau empoisonné - Putting all of the organisation in the intern's hands the day before the meeting was a poisoned chalice. J'ai hérité de la maison de ma tante mais il faut faire beaucoup de travaux, c'est un vrai cadeau empoisonné - I inherited of my aunt's house but there is a lot of construction work to do, it's more of a curse than a blessing. Synonyms Refiler la patate chaude à quelqu'un - To pass the hot potato on to someone Refiler le bébé à quelqu'un - to pass the buck to someone

Reinvented Olympic balloon makes Paris comeback
During the Paris Games, the Olympic cauldron tethered to a balloon flew into the Parisian sky at sunset every day, with thousands flocking to see the seven-metre (23 feet) wide ring of environmentally friendly fire. On Thursday evening, President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo visited the Tuileries Garden near the Louvre, where workers were installing the redesigned balloon and ring. "We are going to relive this!" a beaming Macron said in a video posted on X. The balloon, which will no longer carry the Olympic branding, will take to the skies on June 21 during France's annual Fete de la Musique festival of street music. It will be accessible to visitors every summer evening from June 21 to September 14 for the next three years, until the next edition of the Games in Los Angeles in 2028. Its flame made up of clouds of mist lit by LED rays will remain the same. The flame is still "100 percent electric", according to Pierre Viriot, communications director at state-owned power utility EDF. But unlike last year, it will be turned off at night.

How AI is reinventing misogyny
As artificial intelligence continues to transform societies worldwide, The 51 Percent asks what does its rapid development mean for women and girls. A surge of AI-powered systems has misogyny baked into their very core, placing women and girls at risk worldwide. We report on how men can now create perfect AI girlfriends. Also how a video, created by AI, was posted to TikTok by the French government to celebrate the 80th anniversary of French women getting the vote in 1945. However, there's been uproar as the images are mainly of men without even an actual shot of a woman casting her ballot. Plus Annette Young talks to UK feminist author, Laura Bates, about a highly disturbing visit to a Berlin cyber brothel.
