People are convinced that Millie Bobby Brown didn’t wash her face correctly in a recent video because she appears to leave on her eyeliner. 

Brown celebrated the launch of her vegan skincare line, Florence by Mills, by filming her night routine and posting the video of herself using her new products. As BuzzFeed reports, the original Instagram video was taken down, but a recording snagged by a fan is still immortalized on YouTube. 

She starts off by spritzing her face with some refreshing mist before gently scrubbing it. Then, she holds up a bottle of her face wash. 

“I’m really excited to use it, because I do still feel some of the makeup on,” she said in the video.  Read more…

Apple iPhone launch events are starting to feel a lot like Groundhog Day. I always start them in the market for a new iPhone, and always end them by deciding to stick with my trusty iPhone 6S for a little longer. 

As the 2019 unveiling began, I was sure I was going to be a sucker for the iPhone 11 in purple, a color I find to be insanely great. But I’d also hoped the rumors of a USB-C iPhone were true, so that I could finally ditch lightning cables altogether (my iPad Pro and MacBook both use USB-C). I hadn’t expected 5G, but I had hoped the screen would lose that crazy iPhone X notch. Hell, I would have been into the hotly-tipped reverse wireless charging feature, even though I don’t have any gadgets to reverse wirelessly charge. I’d find something! Read more…

Apple just made its best iPhone even more appealing.

If the iPhone XR has been Apple’s most popular iPhone, it feels almost inevitable that the new iPhone 11 will claim the same title. Not only is it fifty bucks cheaper than the iPhone XR, it has better battery life and significant camera upgrades. 

The phone goes on sale September 20, and there’s a lot to look forward to.

Fresh look, new colors

From the front, the iPhone 11 looks pretty much identical to the iPhone XR. It has an aluminum frame and 6.1-inch LCD Liquid Retina Display, just like its predecessor. There’s still a notch, which will help power faster FaceID unlocks.  Read more…

The new iPhone 11 is here! With it comes the agonizing process of staring at your old, raggedy (possibly no more than a year old) iPhone and wondering if you should lay out the dough and upgrade your Apple device.

But before you rush to buy the iPhone 11, premium iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max, let’s take a look at which phone can get you the best bang for your buck.

At $699, the new iPhone 11 looks like a great deal right at launch. It’s $50 bucks cheaper than iPhone XR’s $749 release price — which was billed as last year’s “affordable” option when compared to the iPhone XS. 

If you’re looking to save even more, Apple announced it’s keeping the iPhone XR around too, at a low price of $599. Apple usually drops the previous year’s phone models by $100 each. However, this year it cut the iPhone XR by $150. (And there’s no pricier iPhone X.) Read more…

Apple says it’s about hardware, software and services, and gave us some of each one: two new iPhones, an iPad, a watch, and a glimpse into what you’ll be able to get from their video and game streaming services. Catch up here. Read more…

In less than 24 hours, Apple will officially announce what we’re expecting to be the “iPhone 11” and “iPhone 11 Pro”. They’ll be the most advanced iPhones ever (because of course they’ll be). 

With new cameras (two on the iPhone 11 and three on the 11 Pro), they’ll likely push photography and video recording to new heights.

Nothing wrong with better cameras, but if you’re hoping for Apple to wow with iPhones that are, perhaps, more revolutionary instead of iterative, you’ll probably have to wait until 2020.

If all the rumors and leaks ending up being correct — they’re almost always right these days — the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro will be somewhat modest updates. Read more…

We’ve become largely accustomed to the perpetual maelstrom of bad ideas swirling around the Trump White House, but the latest plan responding to mass shootings reminds us that our cursed timeline can still always get darker.  

Specifically, according to the Washington Post, the White House is considering studying if monitoring individuals with mental illness via their smartphones and smartwatches can predict incidents of mass violence. This idea, which the Post notes relies on the false notion that mass shootings are “directly linked” to mental illness, was reportedly put forth at the request of Ivanka Trump. She asked a group advocating for the creation of a new health-focused research agency dubbed HARPA (a play on the military research agency DARPA) to pitch ideas on the matter. Read more…

There’s a certain level of preparation that’s become standard with hurricanes. Making sure there’s enough food is typically close to the top of the list. 

This raccoon apparently neglected its hurricane prep trip to Walmart when Hurricane Dorian came rolling through Longs, South Carolina last week. Trying to scrounge up some food, it clings to a bird feeder dangling from a tree as the wind blows it every which way. 

It’s not the first trip the raccoon has made to the bird feeder. According to the video description, the raccoon shows up daily to get its paws on some bird food. With this kind of determination, we’re sure the little guy will be back again soon. Read more…
