Hair Mask Vs. Conditioner

Why You Should Swap Your Conditioner for a Hair Mask

Most hair masks are recommended for once-a-week use, but various beauty editors at Allure magazine admit to using a deep conditioning mask in place of their regular conditioner. Are there any benefits to this or are they just wasting product? For fine and short hair, cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson suggests sticking to a regular, lightweight conditioner. Hair masks are too heavy for thin hair. But if you are rocking long tresses, she says go ahead and load up on the deep conditioners! "Long hair is old, it needs more attention," she claims.

MAC Burmese Kiss Review

MAC Burmese Kiss Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC does not disappoint with this lipstick! Burmese Kiss is a lovely coral pink color that is hightly pigmented and truly a statement lipstick. Its warm undertone is extremely flattering for all skin tones--fair to dark--and it's perfect to taking any look to the next level. It has a creamy consistency for a medium-thick application that layers smoothly and goes on lightly. Long-wearing as all MAC lipsticks tend to be, it stays in place for approximately six and a half hours for all day wear. When first applied, it has a light shine to it despite being listed as a "matte" finish--this shine wears off the longer it is worn, eventually reaching a matte finish.

A giant polar bear took the tube in London today

A giant life-size polar bear has been making it's way around London as a PR stunt for new Sky Atlantic TV show Fortitude. Created by 19 Hollywood prop specialists, it took six weeks and used 60 different types of materials in it's creation. Tom Wilton and Derek Arnold operated the 8-foot polar bear after studying real life polar bears in preparation. There has even been a tiny camera built in the front of the bear linked up to monitors so that the puppeteers can see where the fluffy guy is going!

King Tut's Burial Mask Irreparably Damaged

Hasty fix causes irreparable damage to King Tut's burial mask

 

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo made a grave mistake when three of the museum conservators attempted to repair King Tut's beard with a epoxy-based adhesive. Later, one conservator admitted that the adhesive was unsuitable to such a restoration and that the mask should have been taken to a lab. All three conservators recount that they were given strict orders to "quickly restore the mask" as the museum was in a rush to get it back on display--due to these orders, they used the quick-drying material in place of standard actions. The epoxy left a clearly visible gap of gold between the beard and the mask. It appears that the person applying the epoxy accidentally got some on the face as well, and in trying to remove it, several scratches were left on the face. This slapdash attempt at fixing King Tut's exhibit has now resulted in permanent damage.
