Glow like a celeb: 111SKIN's luxe Repair Set drops at Nordstrom Sale
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's something deliciously irresistible about indulging in skincare that feels like it belongs in a Beverly Hills med spa, especially when it's marked down at a price that almost feels like a secret. Alas, we've arrived at the 111SKIN Face & Eye Repair Skin Care Set, a surgical-grade, science-forward duo now available during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for $370 — a significant dip from its original $530 value. It's one of the best beauty deals the retailer's annual mega-sale has to offer. Known for marrying cutting-edge clinical ingredients with a luxurious user experience, 111SKIN has long been a darling of skincare connoisseurs and red-carpet regulars. But during this rare sale, its cult-favorite products become just a bit more attainable for those craving visibly transformative skincare. Advertisement Nordstrom At the heart of the set are two high-performance heroes: the Repair Serum NAC Y² (30 ml) and the Eye Lift Gel NAC Y² (15 ml). Both are powered by the brand's proprietary NAC Y² complex, a blend of N-acetyl cysteine, vitamin C, and escin, originally developed by founder and Harley Street plastic surgeon Dr. Yannis Alexandrides to accelerate healing in post-surgical patients. This isn't your average antioxidant serum. NAC Y² goes deeper, boosting glutathione levels (the skin's master antioxidant), strengthening the dermal barrier and visibly smoothing fine lines and uneven texture. Additional skin-calming ingredients like Calendula, Pink Rock Rose and Centella Asiatica bring soothing, anti-inflammatory power to the formula, making it ideal for sensitive or stressed-out complexions. The accompanying Eye Lift Gel NAC Y² is a fan favorite for a reason. I've been using 111SKIN's luxurious catalog of formulas, and this particular product is giving 'eye lift, bottle form.' This silky gel uses a potent blend of Acetyl Hexapeptide‑8 (a peptide known for its Botox-mimicking effects), caffeine, niacinamide and horse chestnut extract to firm, depuff and brighten the delicate under-eye area. It delivers that elusive wide-awake look in minutes and, with consistent use, softens crow's feet and under-eye shadows with surgical-like precision — minus the downtime. Whether you're battling post-red-eye puffiness or the permanent signature of late-night screens, this product belongs in your beauty arsenal. Beyond the elegant glass bottles and sleek, minimalist packaging, the skincare set's synergy between its formulas make it a worthwhile investment. Both products are thoughtfully dosed with powerhouse actives, and unlike many luxury products that lean on scent and texture over science, this set delivers clinical-grade results. If you seriously want to treat yourself, picking up the brand's Black Diamond Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser ($80) and the Jetsetter Wallet Skin Care Set ($40) are what to pick up alongside your new serum and eye cream. There's also something to be said for the rarity of this kind of discount. Typically priced in the upper tier of the luxury skincare spectrum, 111SKIN products rarely see markdowns of this magnitude. At $370, you're receiving a $530 value: essentially saving $160 while gaining two full-sized icons of the brand. For those already familiar with the line, it's a savvy restock; for the uninitiated, it's a low-risk way to try top-tier formulations that actually deliver results. Think fewer breakouts, more bounce, less fatigue in your skin's reflection. And, the kind of post-facial glow that used to require a derm visit. The beauty of the 111SKIN Face & Eye Repair Set is that it feels indulgent, yet purposeful. Each product is designed not only to work independently but to enhance the efficacy of the other. So, whether you're prepping for a big event, recovering from a stressful week or simply elevating your skincare wardrobe, this is the kind of twin pack that doesn't disappoint. With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale running only through August 4, this is the moment to commit to skincare that actually changes your skin — before the price returns to its usual ultra-luxury tier.

Only staffers registered with Face App to receive Aug salary: Maha minister
Only those revenue department employees who mark attendance through the government's 'Face' app will receive the August salary, Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekar Bawankule said on Wednesday. The decision has been taken to increase accountability, he said. The salary for August will be disbursed in September. The Union Government has made the use of Face App and geo-fencing mandatory for all revenue department employees, the minister said. "From now on, attendance will be recorded strictly from the office premises, using the app. Salaries will not be processed for those who fail to comply," he said. A formal government resolution (GR) or order to this effect will be issued soon, Bawankule added. He was speaking after reviewing the department's operations in Raigad district. "We have started reviewing various departments to bring efficiency, transparency and citizen-centric governance. Several key issues have come to light during this process, and we are implementing a 150-day action plan to address them," he said. Expressing concern over the backlog of quasi-judicial matters pending with revenue officers, Bawankule stated that he had personally resolved over 800 cases in the last four months. No quasi-judicial case should remain pending with any officer, and Lok Adalats should be used for speedy resolution of complaints, he instructed officials. "Tahsildars and land records officials must clear pending matters immediately so that citizens are not forced to approach the Mantralaya (state headquarters). We must adopt innovative approaches to bring administration closer to the people," he added.

MANSCAPED ® Wants You to 'Send Face Pics Instead'
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- MANSCAPED ®, the global men's grooming company and lifestyle consumer brand, is encouraging men to raise their cameras and think twice before hitting send with its newest campaign, 'Send Face Pics Instead™.' As the company continues to expand its product line beyond the groin, it's helping men do the same – equipping them with the tools to mancare their everywhere™ and the confidence to love the results. In the past, guys felt more comfortable taking a 'down there' pic than showing their faces. The message now? With the right tools, men can confidently Send Face Pics Instead. 'We've spent years providing men with tools for their privates. Now we've got something for their publics, too,' said Marcelo Kertész, Chief Marketing Officer at MANSCAPED. 'By putting the spotlight on faces, we're giving guys not only the tools – but the permission – to love how they look, and to send the kind of pics that actually get a response.' Lights, Camera, Face Pics – The Hero Video The 360 campaign kicks off with a cheeky hero spot, developed in partnership with creative agency Special U.S., that takes a playful jab at modern digital habits. It opens with the familiar dings and pings of late-night texts as women react with shock…and maybe a little delight at the unexpected images lighting up their phones. But these aren't those kinds of pics. Instead of an insert eggplant emoji, they're seeing… a face? Featuring MANSCAPED's newest face shaving tools, the ad flips expectations with humor and heart. The commercial is now live on MANSCAPED's YouTube channel and social media platforms, and is running across national broadcast and streaming outlets, including Paramount+, Hulu, and Peacock. Survey Says…'My Pics Are Up Here' Study To put its money where its mouth is, or in this case, its face, MANSCAPED commissioned a study with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and the O.R.G.A.S.M Research Lab (O-Lab) to explore gender differences in digital flirting preferences. They key takeaway? Confidence looks best above the waist. Among the findings was a telling stat: 'Men are nine times more likely to get a response when they send a picture of their face versus any other body part.' The full study has been submitted to The Journal of Sex Research and is expected to publish later this year, but key findings are available now on the MANSCAPED blog – and the research is already sparking conversation. Dr. Cory Pedersen and Amanda Champion of the O-Lab recently joined sex researcher and author Dr. Justin Lehmiller on his Sex and Psychology podcast to unpack the findings. They are also slated to appear on the popular podcast Pretty Basic in September for a candid conversation about modern flirting, male self-expression, and how guys can shift the narrative. Even comedian and actor Pete Davidson weighed in on the topic: 'Ever since I started using MANSCAPED's new face shaver, my selfies have been stealing the spotlight. Who knew cleaning up my face would finally give people something else to look at?' Catch more of Pete's unfiltered take on an upcoming episode of Paul's Best Podcast, hosted by Paul Virzi, airing this August – trust us, you won't want to miss it. From Billboards to DMs – OOH & Other Campaign Activations Bringing the campaign to life, MANSCAPED is rolling out bi-coastal OOH installations in Austin, Brooklyn, Chicago, and San Francisco. The brand will also show up loud and proud in unexpected places – from dating app takeovers and trendy creator-led content to influencer activations and engaging social posts. With 'Send Face Pics Instead,' MANSCAPED continues to evolve the conversation around men's grooming, encouraging guys everywhere to communicate with confidence – and maybe send a picture people actually look forward to receiving.

Pittsburgh Pirates All-Stars: Building the Best Pirates All-Time Lineup
Maz's Game 7 homer to win it all. Clemente building bridges on and off the diamond. Stargell popping off to the sounds of "We Are Family." Long before Paul Skenes had batters chasing splinkers, these were the legendary Pirates making their mark on the Alleghany. Manager: Fred Clarke Clarke was a high-level hitter for the Pirates from 1900-11, but he was also the team's manager from 1900-15. Under — and with — Clarke, the Pirates won four NL pennants, highlighted by winning the 1909 World Series, a season which saw them go 110-42 in what was the franchise's first championship. In 1902, the Pirates finished 103-36, with their 74.1% winning percentage second in a single season in MLB history. Clarke is first in Pirates history with 1,422 managerial wins and a 59.5% winning percentage among full-time managers. Starting pitcher: Wilbur Cooper Cooper spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Pirates (1912-24), with whom he was one of the best starting pitchers of his generation. The left-handed Cooper led the NL in complete games twice and wins once, while consistently pitching deep into games and effectively inducing weak contact. Cooper, who posted a career 2.74 ERA in Pittsburgh, is first in Pirates history with both 202 wins and 263 complete games, second among pitchers with both a 47.9 WAR and 3,199.0 innings pitched, third with 1,191 strikeouts and fourth with 33 shutouts. Reliever/closer: Roy Face Face, who spent the majority of his career with the Pirates (1953 and 1955-68), was a key ingredient in Pittsburgh's 1960 championship team. The right-hander was a stabilizing presence in Pittsburgh's bullpen, leading the NL in saves three times and providing length (Face pitched 1,314.2 innings across 802 appearances). Face, a six-time All-Star, is first in Pirates history with 186 career saves and posted a combined 3.46 ERA with the franchise. Catcher: Jason Kendall Kendall spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Pirates (1996-2004), with whom he was one of the best all-around catchers of his era. Earning each of his three All-Star honors in Pittsburgh, Kendall was consistently a contact hitter who got on base at a high level and also stole bases at an impressive clip for a catcher (19 stolen bases per season from 1997-2002). Kendall posted a career .306/.387/.418 slash for the Pirates. Fun fact, Kendall is far and away first in Pirates history with 177 hit by pitches, 66 more than Starling Marte's 111 hit by pitches, which ranks second. 1B: Willie Stargell Stargell spent his entire 21-year career with the Pirates (1962-82), being a featured part of Pittsburgh's 1971 and 1979 championship teams and winning MVP honors for the 1979 World Series. Time and time again, Stargell was one of the most dangerous hitters in the game, swinging an impact bat from the left side and driving in runs at a high level. He led the NL in home runs twice and earned seven All-Star nods. Stargell, who won the 1979 NL MVP Award and played both left field and first base, is first in Pirates history with 475 home runs, 1,540 RBIs and 937 walks, third with a .529 slugging percentage, fourth with 423 doubles, fifth with both 1,194 runs scored and a 57.6 WAR and seventh with 2,232 hits. 2B: Bill Mazeroski Mazeroski is part of the Pirates' identity. Part of the franchise's 1960 and 1971 World Series championships, Mazeroski, who spent his entire 17-year career in Pittsburgh (1956-72), was a stable force at the middle-infield position and a reliable contact hitter on a perennial contender. An eight-time Gold Glover and 10-time All-Star, Mazeroski shined in the 1960 World Series, totaling two home runs and five RBIs, while posting a .320/.320/.640 slash line. Mazeroski is first in Pirates history with a 24.0 defensive WAR, sixth with 853 RBIs, eighth with 2,016 hits, ninth with 294 doubles and 10th with 138 home runs. 3B: Pie Traynor Traynor was a tough out. The third baseman was one of the best at getting on base and consistently hitting runners across the basepaths. Traynor, a two-time All-Star, starred on the Pirates' 1925 World Series title team, which saw him post a .346/.414/.615 slash line. He totaled a double-digit number of triples in 11 seasons and 100-plus RBIs in seven seasons. Traynor is fourth in Pirates history with 1,273 RBIs, tied for fourth with 2,416 hits, is fifth with 3,289 total bases, sixth with 1,183 runs scored and ninth with both a .320 batting average and a 42.6 offensive WAR. Furthermore, the career-long Pirate (1920-35 and 1937) managed the team from 1934-39. SS: Honus Wagner Honus Wagner was really good at baseball. After spending the first three seasons of his career with the Louisville Colonels, Wagner landed in Pittsburgh for the 1900 season and became one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Over the next 18 seasons, Wagner won eight batting titles, led the NL in WAR seven times, doubles seven times, RBIs four times and hits twice. Hitting the ball to all fields, producing extra-base hit after extra-base hit and slugging at a high level, Wagner was in an exclusive class among hitters. While a primary shortstop, he started at all four infield positions and posted a .333/.467/.500 slash line in the Pirates' 1909 World Series triumph. Wagner is first in Pirates history with 232 triples, 1,521 runs scored and a 120.3 WAR, second with 1,474 RBIs, 2,967 hits and 639 stolen bases and fourth with a .328 batting average. Moreover, he's eighth in MLB history with 3,420 career hits. OF: Ralph Kiner Kiner only played 10 MLB seasons, seven-plus of them spent with the Pirates from 1946-53, but he made the most of each one of them. A six-time All-Star, Kiner flat-out raked. He had imposing power from the right side, was as dangerous as any hitter of his time and led the NL in home runs in each of his first seven seasons, including two 50-plus home run seasons. Kiner, who's in the Hall of Fame, is second in Pirates history with both 301 home runs and a .567 slugging percentage, sixth with 795 walks, eighth with both 801 RBIs and a .405 on-base percentage and 10th with a 43.3 WAR. OF: Andrew McCutchen The Pirates had one of the best players in the sport with McCutchen, who began his career with the franchise from 2009-17. Primarily playing center field, McCutchen was among the best outfielders of the early 2010s, rewarded with a Gold Glove in 2012. At the plate, McCutchen had a crisp, contact swing that generated slug, and he made some noise on the basepaths. McCutchen led the NL with 194 hits in 2012 and won the 2013 NL MVP Award, with him also leading the NL with a 7.8 WAR in said year. The star outfielder returned to the Pirates in 2023, with him presently in his second stint with the franchise. McCutchen, whose four Silver Slugger awards and five All-Star nods all came in Pittsburgh, is third in Pirates history with 243 home runs, seventh with both 849 RBIs and 343 doubles, ninth with 1,740 hits and 10th with both 963 runs scored and a 43.3 WAR. OF: Roberto Clemente Clemente is one of the best players to step on a baseball field. A 12-time Gold Glover and 15-time All-Star, Clemente spent his entire career in Pittsburgh (1955-72), with whom he helped win the 1960 and 1971 World Series championships and won the 1971 World Series MVP Award. The superstar outfielder posted a career .318/.354/.449 postseason slash line and served as Pittsburgh's primary right fielder, with Clemente being one of the best all-around hitters of any generation. A four-time NL batting champion, Clemente led the NL in hits twice and posted four 200-plus hit seasons. Clemente is first in Pirates history with 3,000 hits and 4,492 total bases, second with a 94.9 WAR, third with both 1,305 RBIs and 1,416 runs scored and fourth with 240 home runs. DH: Barry Bonds It all started in Pittsburgh for the all-time MLB home run leader (Bonds hit an MLB-best 762 career home runs). From the jump, Bonds caused issues on the basepaths for pitching staffs, had elite power and was one of the best outfielders in the sport. Across his last three seasons with the Pirates (1990-92), Bonds averaged 31 home runs, 101 RBIs and 45 stolen bases per season, while posting a .301/.424/.566 slash line. He also earned a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award in each of those three seasons and an All-Star honor in two of them. Despite playing just seven seasons with the franchise (1986-92), Bonds is fifth in Pirates history with 176 home runs, seventh with both 251 stolen bases and a 50.3 WAR and eighth with a .503 slugging percentage.
