If I could go to Mars, but I could only bring one tube of mascara with me… LOL! It’s a variation on the “deserted island” theme. Anyway, would I bring new Benefit BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara? Hmm… Maybe? Perhaps for the poetic irony, because according to Benefit, BADgal BANG! does incorporate space-age technology, so there’s that… Benefit says that they used lightweight aero-particles, which were first developed by the space industry, to lift lashes to gravity-defying heights. “BADgal BANG! 36 HOUR* FULL-BLAST volumizing mascara creates MASSIVE volume without weighing down lashes. The gravity-defying formula contains aero-particles, one of the lightest...

Are you ready for 14 Days of Ravishing Red? Stay tuned as we explore ravishing red 💄 lipsticks, lip liners and glosses every day on our way to 💕 Valentine’s. This glossy cherry 🍒 creates the sheerest veil of yellowy red — even sheerer than Neutrogena’s Deep Cherry, and ya know, that’s why I like it. NARS Scandal ($21) is shiny, sheer, sweet and innocent. Ah… It takes me back to my middle school years, when sheer rollerball glosses were all the rage, and every girl’s lips looked like this after they touched up after lunch. Among the things I...

Did Homer Simpson discovered the Higgs boson (over a decade before scientists)?Well, nope, but we can say that Homer has certain/robust physical-mathematical knowledge, which actually we already knew thanks to the book “The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets" by Simon Singh.Why not?Mainly because if you do the maths with the “Homer’s formula" you will obtain a mass for the Higgs boson at rest of 774 GeV, i.e a value exagerated by a factor of about 2π over the (experimentally) measured of 125 eV.

Congrats John O´Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser, 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. How do we know where we are? How can we find the way from one place to another? And how can we store this information in such a way that we can immediately find the way the next time we trace the same path? This year´s Nobel Laureates have discovered a positioning system, an “inner GPS” in the brain that makes it possible to orient ourselves in space, demonstrating a cellular basis for higher cognitive function… Press Release

Hello, friend! Happy December Caturday ❄️🎄🐱 to ya. You know, just when I think I’ve seen it all among the pantheon of makeup tips and now it’s just the same bevy of basic tips recycled and repackaged for the quadrillionth time and I stop expecting to ever see anybody ever add anything new to the beauty news cycle, ever, I stumble upon something I’ve never tried before, and sometimes it rocks my world. Two words: reverse foundation. It’s a new (I think) base technique, and I gave it a try for the first time the other day. It’s where you...
