Many of us may turn to waxing or shaving to get smoother, hairless skin, but a new form of grooming products has risen to popularity and that’s laser hair removal. While you can go to the dermatologist to get this non-invasive procedure done, there’s also a more affordable option, which is doing it at home.

It’s currently being discounted by 47%, but through an additional $40 off coupon, you can click before adding it to your cart, that brings it up to 74% of savings.
How does it work? Well, rather than take a razor or wax to your skin, you can avoid the pain and accidental cuts using this handy device. The device uses intense pulsed light (IPL) that combined with a 600nm wavelength, attempts to break the cycle of hair growth, resulting in a more hair-free area. Plus, it uses cooling technology to help soothe target areas after lasering it. The brand states you can start to see reduced hair growth in up to 12 weeks.
One reviewer has praised the hair removal device saying it “works wonders” and “after using it three times [they were] starting to see results.”

What is Fukubiki?
Just like the brand, Fukubiki originated in Japan and is a traditional lottery that people participated in to try and win prizes. The brand estimates that the custom started in 702 by Emperor Shomu who held a New Year’s Eve party “where strips of paper were drawn for prizes,” according to the website. Today, it has been modernized with brands embracing its celebration of good fortune by providing shoppers with anything from mystery bags to discounts.
Tatcha has incorporated this tradition into its summer celebrations that include up to four complimentary minis as well as a unique fortune that comes with your order.
Tatcha
Dewy Skin Cream – Limited Edition $89
Gomez has been known to use the Dewy Skin Cream, which not only has a 4.8 star rating, but uses Japanese purple rice that’s packed with antioxidants to help moisturize, plump and hydrate skin.
Tatcha

Tatcha
The Rice Wash $40
For Taylor, this Rice Wash has been mentioned as an essential in her skincare routine — and we can see why. It currently sits at a 4.8 star rating and contains ingredients like Japanese rice powder and pH-neutral amino acid to help soften and balance skin.

BLACKPINK isn’t done touring North American just yet. Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie will hit the stage in Las Vegas on Friday (Aug. 18) for an “encore” performance of the Born Pink World Tour.
The group made history last week with sold-out, back-to-back concerts at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
BLACKPINK’s “encore” tour will include upcoming shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The extended tour has already made history with BLACKPINK joining Beyoncé and Taylor Swift as the only female acts to sell out back-to-back shows at MetLife.
BLACKPINK will bring the tour to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Aug. 18, San Francisco’s Oracle Park on Aug. 22 and L.A.’s Dodger Stadium on Aug. 26.
BLINKs can purchase resale tickets on Ticketmaster starting at approximately $121 and there are several tickets priced well below $200. Currently, the cheapest ticket prices that we’ve found start at $90 (for the Las Vegas concert) but most around closer to $117-$145 on Vivid Seats, StubHub and Seat Geek. The more expensive seats, located closer to the stage, are priced around $400-$1,200 depending on the date.
BLACKPINK Born Pink Encore World Tour Tickets $from $90
BLACKPINK’s North American extended tour run will once again end in Los Angeles, but this time at Dodger Stadium. Last year, the group ended the North American tour with two, back-to-back shows at the Banc of California Stadium.
It’s been a great year for BLACKPINK as the group celebrates its seventh anniversary and other milestones like headlining Coachella in April. The Born Pink tour launched last October in Seoul, South Korea. The tour made stops in London, Paris, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Amsterdam and other cities around the glob.

Developing a new fragrance under this fan favorite franchise was daunting at first, but I really do think that we’ve created the perfect sister scent to the original Cloud. It’s snuck into my top favorite, as of late. I’ve been wearing it nonstop these past few months. Working with Clement and the team on this new pillar was a labor of love and has been such an exciting secret to keep!!! I couldn’t wait for the announcement, and I cannot wait for everyone to experience Cloud Pink.”

Sales of flip phones spiked in the U.S. last year, due to Gen Z-ers diving deep into nostalgia, but flip phones themselves have evolved and are now competing with the likes of iPhone, Google Pixel and other popular smartphones.

In June, Motorola introduced the Razr Plus ($999.99) and Razr 40 Ultra ($1,099), an upgrade to its previous Razr released in 2020. The new-and-improved Razr manages to stand out among an already crowded market of smart phones. It has the largest display screen of any flip phone on the market at 6.9 inches, which is slightly larger than the 6.7-inch screen on Samsung’s Z Flip 5. The outer display screen is also bigger than competitors at 3.6 inches.
Is the Motorola Razr worth buying? If you’re ready to make the leap over to flip phones, the Razr Plus is a fun, functional and pretty damn cool, pocketable phone. It’s become my go-to gadget for snapping selfies, surfing the web and streaming and recording videos, and it fits nicely in my smaller purses and fanny packs.
The Razr Plus display screen features 2,640 x 1080 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate. The outer screen is 1066 x 1056 (413ppi for both screens).
AT&T
Motorola Razr Plus
$10/month $22.78/month ( 56% off% OFF
Versatility is what makes Razr Plus so much fun for me personally, namely because it works just as well when it’s open as when it’s closed. You can access plenty of apps, make phone calls and take photos while the phone is closed. When the phone is open to its full screen, I use it to stream videos because the picture quality is extremely clear compared to my iPhone 12, but I also like switching between small and large screens.
The only issues that I ran into with Razr Plus, which is more of an issue with Android in general, is having to adjust the screen brightness almost constantly, even with adaptive brightness activated. From a technical perspective, Razr Plus might take some getting used to if you’re not as familiar with an Android interface but I’ve only had an iPhone for a couple years, so while it wasn’t as hard to revert back to Android, the transition might not be smooth for longtime iPhone users.
Nonetheless, Razr Plus has everything you need to stay connected and customizable display screens that make using the phone even more exciting. My personal favorite display screen is an interactive, digital character that you can watch throughout the day (think Tamagotchi, but with better graphics, and more independent). The character brushes its teeth, commutes to work and sits at a desk typing away on a computer before taking a lunch break (if you tap the screen, the character will offer you a bite of food). You can also watch the character eat dinner and go to sleep.
But back to the photo and video clarity. While some customer reviews have complained about the camera quality, I love it. Whether you’re creating content, capturing memories at concerts or music festivals or simply snapping photos for fun, Razr Plus takes crystal-clear photos and videos. The phone is equipped with Dolby Atmos audio, Bluetooth and a 32-megapixel front camera that’s excellent for selfies. It can snap photos in any light and features a 12MP wide, 13MP ultrawide camera along with functions like Auto Night Vision and Macro Vision.
The battery lasts all day — up to 38 hours of talk time — and it takes around an hour to fully charge. Razr Plus has wireless charging and fast charging capabilities; 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
Available in glacier blue, infinite black and the ultra-cool viva magenta, you can buy a Razr Plus through major phone carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile for as low as $10 per month. The phone is also available at Amazon, Best Buy and Motorola.com.
