Tis the season of beauty advent calendars, and we found out which ones give you the most value for your money. We’re also talking about the #looksmaxxing community, its sketchy roots, and its interest in skincare and mewing. Plus: Javier Milei’s wolverine hair; gendered grooming rules in elementary schools (we’re looking at you, Girard, Kansas); health concerns associated with scented candles; and the book Eyeliner: A Cultural History. Plus, we raise wands to lip balms, a candle that smells like hot cocoa, and a holiday-party mascara.
