Literally Just 25 Of The Coolest Products I've Seen Recently
Nyx Shine Loud liquid lipstick, aka the all-day liquid lippie you've been searching for for years. Just swipe on a layer of the deeply pigmented color, let it dry, and coat with the high-shine gloss on the other end of the tube. Once it's dry, it really and truly doesn't transfer when eating, drinking, or kissing — a miracle.
A conical cheese grater with a handle because doesn't this make so much more sense than the unwieldy flat-sided ones that are impossible to hold without feeling like you're going to shave off the tip of your finger?? I guess you could say this option is greater.
Murad's Deep Relief salicylic acid acne treatment, a worth-the-splurge spot treatment meant for those painful, deep zits. In addition to the traditional salicylic acid, it's also got ginger root extract to soothe and calm redness.
Sweet, delicate pit bull charm hoop earrings with colorful stones by rescue-dog-supporting brand Cloud Haven. Proceeds from the purchase go to saving the lives of shelter dogs — something you should def mention each and every one of the many times someone compliments these cuties.
The CUTEST (and softest) Jellycat plush purse that'll hold the essentials and be the perfect finishing touch to your little one's (or tbh, your) adorable 'fit.
Or a more grown-up but equally whimsical New York hot dog corgi purse (yes, you read that right). I honestly don't know where to begin...the fuzz? the toppings?? The I ❤️ NY tag??? The convenient crossbody strap??? The TONGUE?!?!?
A head massager thingy that is so cheap, so simple...yet feels sooooooo good. Just trust me, you need this in your life.
Deco Beauty nail art stickers, which actually stay the heck on and come in soooooo many ridiculously cute designs, it'll be nearly impossible to pick just one set. Luckily, no one's saying you have to.
Briotech hypochlorous acid spray, a simple yet magical concoction reviewers swear by for everything from piercing irritation to rosacea to acne. Plus, it's super similar to the famous Tower 28 spray but HALF the price.
An effortlessly chic, comfy sweater tee which has become a staple in my wardrobe and probably will be in yours, too. It adds a perfectly cozy texture to a look that plain T-shirts don't, without being bulky like a full-on sweater.
A sweet teddy bear mug to add some whimsy to every morning (and evening) and match your cutesy, demure aesthetic.
A Bridgerton-esque puff-sleeve embroidered gown, aka what your romantic fantasies are made of. Turns out your soulmate might actually be this dress.
A hilarious pasta-box-shaped candle with a fitting "Italian Villa" scent (which includes notes of fig leaves, bergamot, jasmine, moss, and cedarwood) because I guess a tomato basil scented candle might not be the vibe.
Cart-dividing grocery bags that not only divvy up your haul so checkout and unloading when you get home are effortless, but they can each hold up to 60 pounds and have straps long enough to be toted on your shoulder! Plus, each set comes with an insulated bag to keep groceries hot or cold and one bag with special pockets for fragile goodies like eggs and wine. Basically all your grocery bag struggles = solved.
Heartbreak Is The National Anthem, a new book by the brilliant Rolling Stone music critic Rob Sheffield, that gives Taylor Swift the analysis and reverence she deserves. Serious Swifties will be swooning over this deep dive written by a fellow fan.

An on-trend sweater vest available in everything from bright patterns to staple hues. It's a serious sartorial serotonin boost. Try saying that three times fast...or better yet, add three different versions of this to your cart, fast.
A funky apron by It British brand Damson Madder so you can bring a bit of high fashion to your kitchen. If you've been coveting one of the label's dresses but want something a bit more affordable and that you'll get more use out of, this is a swoon-worthy solution!
A pack of Squish-a-long figures, aka the perfect solution for anyone who's obsessed with the cuteness of Squishmallows (same) but doesn't realistically have space in their home for all the v tempting plushies (also same). These slightly squishy plastic figurines allow you to display several Squish friends in a — *Genie's voice* — iiiiitty bitty living space. Use them as decor, share 'em with the kiddos in your life, or divvy them up amongst your friends!
And! Squee-worthy Tonymoly x Squishmallows pimple patches so your breakout can turn into a brea-cowt (sorry). These cuties are infused with anti-inflammatory niacinamide that can help tame oil, redness, and discoloration.

Jonathan Bailey says Wicked sequel is ‘darker' and will ‘go there politically'
Actor Jonathan Bailey has said the Wicked sequel is 'darker' and is 'going to go there politically as well'. The Bridgerton star, 37, plays Prince Fiyero in the films, also starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, which are adapted from the musical of the same name. 'Being slightly off the M1 in Munchkinland, with Ari singing a beautiful mezzo soprano, and then seeing cars pulling up on the hard shoulder trying to record it, and then seeing men in the sky, (which) turned out to be microlights and drones, it was like Independence Day,' he told British GQ. View this post on Instagram A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq) He added: 'I remember having four hours to learn how to do a dance move. I did it with Ari, headbutted her, and was like, 'Gotta go!'. 'I think she might have even headbutted me, but it was a meeting of minds, literally.' Wicked's next instalment will arrive in cinemas in the UK and Ireland from November 21 and will cover the years after Elphaba, played by Erivo, parted ways with her friend Glinda (Grande). Wicked: For Good will also show Elphaba being demonised by those in Oz, and transformed into The Wicked Witch Of The West. The films have been adapted from the musical, which was based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel – which was in turn inspired by the story first told in L Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel, later adapted into the 1939 film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. Bailey said: 'It's darker, and I've got a sense it's going to go there politically as well. 'Fiyero's arc really kicks off and he literally is transformed by the end.' Other stars of Wicked include Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and US actor Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. View this post on Instagram A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq) Both Bailey and Goldblum are part of the Jurassic Park franchise. Goldblum played Dr Ian Malcolm in the original 1993 adventure/sci-fi while Bailey stars as Dr Henry Loomis in Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is yet to be released. 'We'll see how it goes, but there might be a few films down the line where me and him can appear in Jurassic together,' Bailey said. He added: 'Dr Ian Malcolm and Dr Henry Loomis on a night out.' Bailey stars on the cover of the summer Heroes issue of British GQ and will be speaking at the GQ Heroes conference, taking place at Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire from July 2 to 4. The Heroes Issue of British GQ is available via digital download and on newsstands on June 10.

Something insidious is coming out of the Diddy trial: Laughter
Something insidious is coming out of the Diddy trial: Laughter | Opinion We must resist the urge to make everything into a joke. We must take some things seriously – and domestic violence should be one of those things. Show Caption Hide Caption Security guard says Sean Combs offered cash for hotel video Eddy Garcia testified Sean Combs paid $100K for hotel footage showing him kick, hit and drag Cassie Ventura Fine, according to court testimony. There's something I've been noticing when I scroll through Instagram. Any time I see an advertisement, any advertisement, really, there always seems to be a peculiar comment underneath the video. 'Nice try, Diddy.' The spam comment, which refers to rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, has been around for almost a year now. According to Know Your Meme, a Wikipedia-esque website dedicated to the inside jokes of the internet, it's unclear what the spam comment means. What is clear is that it is as commonplace as these advertisements themselves. What's also clear is that people are joking about something that isn't really that funny. 'Nice try Diddy' is not the only joke that's come out of the bombshell sex crimes trial against Combs, in which the rapper and mogul has been charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. For the past year, people have latched onto the salacious details of the case – from 'Diddy parties' and 'freak offs' to baby oil to the sketches from the courtroom – to joke about on the Internet and with their friends. The only problem? We seem to always be laughing about the wrong things. SNL, memes mock Diddy trial. But it can retraumatize survivors of abuse. There are more than 70 lawsuits against Combs, with at least 81 people accusing the rapper of sexual assault. What we've heard has been harrowing. Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura Fine, who dated Combs on and off from 2007 to 2018, testified in the first days of the trial about the physical and emotional abuse that she suffered. There is a video of him physically assaulting her at the InterContinental Hotel, a video that a hotel security guard alleges he was paid $100,000 to destroy. There's footage of Combs throwing a vase at her head. There are photos of bruises and cuts that Ventura Fine allegedly suffered after altercations with Combs. A friend of Ventura Fine's testified that he threw a knife in the singer's direction. That's not the only testimony that stands out. In May, rapper Kid Cudi testified that his car was set on fire by an 'incendiary device,' alleging that Combs was the perpetrator. Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan testified on June 4 that Combs dangled her over a 17-story balcony and threatened to kill her. I encourage anyone joking about this case to read the victims' statements – they are no laughing matter. Opinion: Diddy trial and Macron shove reveal our blind spots about domestic violence That hasn't stopped comedians, whether they be on Instagram or on "Saturday Night Live," from lampooning the trial as it unfolds. It hasn't stopped the memes, like "The Diddler" and baby oil. There were also jokes about Amber Heard during her trial with Johnny Depp, jokes that experts claimed exacerbated the trauma survivors suffer from. In the same way, levity about the alleged abuse and coercion that Combs' victims experienced could hurt people who have also experienced these things. When will we stop laughing at abuse victims? I understand the urge to make a joke out of serious matters. Humor helps us cope with the horrific realities of life. It's akin to the way people joke about President Donald Trump's administration: The details are so egregious, they feel like parody. But for victims of sexual violence, this trial is anything but funny. It isn't just a meme or a spicy headline; it's the terrifying reality of abuse. It's the reality of a world where women are not believed, and where the justice system fails to intervene until the damage is already done. Opinion: I work with sex trafficking victims. Here's how Diddy's trial could help them. Despite the mountain of evidence against Combs, there are still people who believe he is innocent, or at least shouldn't be the only one on trial. On 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' in late May, rapper Ray J told the host that there were never any 'freak offs.' About the same time, Death Row Records cofounder Suge Knight told journalist Chris Cuomo that he believed his longtime musical rival should walk free, saying that other executives were involved in the events. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, including Combs. Still, it makes me uneasy that there are people who would be so quick to defend him. To me, the flippancy with which people are treating the case is just as dangerous as the jokes made about it. We must resist the urge to make everything into a joke. We must take some things seriously – domestic violence should be one of those things. We can't let our urge to laugh at discomfort win over our desire for justice. Something has to matter.
