One/Size's Mattifying Setting Spray VS. Glass Skin Setting Spray
What if I told you the number one selling product at Sephora isn't a trendy Summer Fridays Lip Balm or viral Sol de Janeiro body mist? That's right—the top-selling beauty product at Sephora is actually a setting spray. Specifically, the One/Size On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray. The beloved formula locks makeup in place (no transferring or smudging) for up to 16 hours, all while absorbing excess oil so your skin looks nice and matte. Even Beyoncé is a fan; she used the spray to keep her glam in tact during a three-hour rain-soaked performance. Oh, and Cosmo readers love On Til' Dawn too—it won a 2024 Readers' Choice Beauty Award for best setting spray.
Today, the iconic formula got an upgraded counterpart: the Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray. Think of it as the glowy, skincare-infused sister to the original formula. Inspired by the rise of glass skin, this new version is designed to hydrate while delivering a radiant, dewy finish that lasts all day. I got an early preview of the new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray and have been testing it against the original to see how they compare. Keep reading for the full rundown—and whether or not the new launch is worth the same level of hype as the OG.
I first started using this setting spray when it launched a few years ago. I was commuting to grad school (via a 20-minute walk and a 30-minute subway ride) in the thick of NYC's September humidity, and needed something to help keep my makeup in place during the day. So I gave the formula a try after seeing so much hype on TikTok. It has a hairspray-like finish that feels more heavy-duty than any setting mist I'd used before. I will say that it wasn't exactly hydrating on my dry skin, but once it set, my concealer, blush, and even mascara stayed put for the entire day until I swiped it off with a micellar water-soaked pad at night.
Beauty editor Beth Gillette calls it her "going-out secret weapon" for her long and sweaty nights bar hopping around Brooklyn. "I come from the days of spritzing my face with legit hairspray to make my makeup last longer (2014 Pinterest was a scary time in beauty). But the One/Size Setting Spray is basically that, reimagined. It doesn't feel like I'm putting anything on my face, nor does it make my skin feel sticky or tacky. But it seriously locks down my makeup and leaves my skin looking matte and smooth. I have a mini that I take on every hot-weather vacation. I doused myself in it every day of Coachella—I truly cannot be without it in my makeup routine, ever."
As someone with dry skin who lives for a dewy finish, I was ecstatic when I heard about this launch. The original mattifying formula was never quite right for me—my skin is so dry that if I skip moisturizer, it starts to feel tight and borderline itchy. So anything even slightly matte is too much for my face. To be fair, I totally understand the hype around the OG. If you want makeup to last through sweat, heat, and humidity—and dryness isn't an issue—it absolutely holds up. But the glass formula? It's a game-changer for a glowy finish and/or anyone with dry skin.
Patrick Starrr (the founder of One/Size) described the new version as a formula that 'melts your powder into place,' and after testing it over a full face of makeup, I totally get it. It leaves this seamless, glassy finish—like you can't tell where my blush starts or my concealer ends. Everything just blends into one glowy, skin-like layer. It also makes my face feel refreshed and hydrated when I spritz it—the formula is packed with ceramides and ginger flower extract to help nourish the skin while keeping your makeup locked in place.
It gives me the hydration I need, with the same impressive staying power One/Size is known for. I wore it over my glam in the office and then to three hours of intensely watching a Knicks game at a bar, and it didn't budge. I also love the upgraded pump applicator over the original aerosol—it feels more skincare-forward, more precise when spraying, and of course better for the environment. The best part? The formula is also non-comedogenic, so you don't have to worry about it exacerbating or triggering acne while ya wear it. Truly no notes.
The new Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray is a heaven-sent for anyone with dry skin or after that ultra-smooth, runway-esque glassy finish. If you prefer a matte look, the original is still your best bet. But if dewy, hydrated skin is your goal—or if your complexion tends to feel tight by midday—this one's worth adding to your cart. I don't usually gush over setting sprays, but I must give credit where credit is due: Patrick Starrr really nailed it with this one.

Tiny Gray Maine Coon Kitten Is the Soggiest Sweetheart After a Bath from Mom
Tiny Gray Maine Coon Kitten Is the Soggiest Sweetheart After a Bath from Mom originally appeared on Parade Pets. If you've ever seen a kitten look both pitiful and precious at the same time, you're not alone.

We can't decide what is cuter, the before or the very wet after!If you've ever seen a mama cat, like Tina above, you may have wondered why mama cats lick their babies so much. Live Science reports that Kristyn Vitale, an assistant professor of animal health and behavior at Unity College in Maine, explains, "Licking of kittens actually plays a vital role in kitten survival," Vitale said. "Very young kittens are unable to urinate or defecate on their own. The mother will lick the genital region of her kittens in order to stimulate them to go to the bathroom." Additionally, "The mother licks her kittens to soothe them and keep them clean," Vitale explained. "Anyone who has raised orphaned kittens knows it is a full-time job trying to keep a newborn kitten's fur clean." Well, this is one newborn kitten who we are pretty sure is near spotless, thanks to Tina! One person commented, "Dang, she even licked off his last brain cells." Awww, LOL! Another person replied, "That's a soggy baby… good job Mama, LOL." Someone else responded, "I think my mom went to the same cosmetology school as your cat." And last but not least, someone else said, "As soon as that kitten dries up, it's gonna smell like sunshine and sugar cookies." That is so true! Clean baby kittens always smell the absolute best!

Dog Chasing Squirrels 'All Her Life' Finally Gets a Chance, Unexpected Twist
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 dog's attempt to catch a squirrel has gone viral, with viewers cracking up over the unexpected twist at the end. Avery Cross (@averyhcross), 20, shared the moment her pet nearly caught a squirrel after years of chasing them. In the footage captured by a security camera, the dog goes full throttle after the critter, which scrambles to escape through a gate. But just as it seems she might finally succeed, the dog simply stops to watch as the squirrel momentarily gets stuck, before slipping away. "My dog when she's been chasing squrriels all her life and never caught one and now has the chance to," Avery, from Texas, wrote in the video's on-screen text. In the caption, she added, "Like she's flung herself into the window before trying to catch one." For many dog owners, the scene is all too familiar. According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), dogs are naturally drawn to creatures like squirrels due to their prey drive—a deeply ingrained instinct from their wild ancestors. They chase squirrels, rabbits and even birds because it's a self-rewarding behavior; every chase is a little victory, even if they never make a catch. Still, while it may be entertaining, it's not always safe. As Pupford explains, allowing dogs to indulge in their prey drive can lead to dangerous situations, especially near roads or unfamiliar terrain. Training techniques like recall commands, redirection and impulse control can help reduce the urge to chase. TikTok viewers flooded Avery's video with comments, with many dog owners relating to the notion of chasing and not catching. "She's about the journey, not the squirrel murdering. Very mindful, very Demure," said Tyler Woerner. "She realize it was the chase that she was chasing afterall," another user wrote. One commenter shared a similar story: "We moved my German Shepherd to 18 acres after the suburbs for a year. he would chase the deer and they always took off and got away. one time... he ran full speed and it didn't run fast enough. he flew into it. they both fell and just looked at each other." "My Great Dane does this too he runs up on them like it's war and then he does nothing," posted Kara. A stock image showing a dog chasing a squirrel.

They both got wiped out and he was so confused lmao." "My dog (she was a basset hound RIP) was the same with cats. Would always chase them and one day the cat didn't move, she didn't know what to do. She was mortified," wrote Phil. "She just wants to play! no violence in her heart, just fun to run. I imagine she'd be happy if the squirrel chased her back," said TikToker Kana. "It's only fun to chase. I don't want to eat one mom," quipped another user. Newsweek reached out to @averyhcross for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.
