Each summer, Zara’s cross-strap flat sandals return to the new-in section, and this year, they come with a highly elevated update.When these sandals were first released, immediate comparisons were drawn with designer styles…

Scientists have discovered an ancient “ghost” plume lurking beneath Oman.The magma plume is trapped beneath a thick portion of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle, the planet’s middle layer.

Cinemaphiles have the movie theater and musicheads have concerts, but makeup lovers? We have Instagram.I’ve loved expressive, maximal makeup from a young age; my eyes being dressed in sparkles and black smudges since I was old enough to twirl onstage in a tutu. After painting my face for innumerable dance performances in my childhood, I began lulling myself to sleep to the sound of YouTube makeup tutorials on late school nights, the sound of shade names, application techniques, and beauty inspirations swirling around in my dreams.Several years later, my appreciation for “pretty” makeup evolved into an infatuation with the lurid…
