Look at What 100 Years of Maybelline Looks Like

It all started with Vaseline and coal — so goes the origin story of one of America’s best-known and longest-running cosmetic companies, which began when a 19-year-old entrepreneur noticed his sister, Mabel, whipping up a concoction of those two household items to make her lashes look darker. As it celebrates its 100th birthday this year, Maybelline is taking a fond look back over the past century and celebrating the most popular look of each decade, from the glamorous flappers of the roaring ’20s to the fearless femmes of the future.

Being the shrewd marketer it is (don’t even pretend you don’t know its famous slogan), the brand has released a limited-edition collection of its best-selling products. You’d better act fast if you want to snap them up though; the #Maybelline100 line, ranging from classic Great Lash mascara to of-the-moment BB cream, is only available in stores for a short while.

Of course, some of us are living (and loving) that #nomakeup life, while others prefer products that are organic and whose makers give back. When it comes to beauty, all of us were born with it, but for those of us who like playing with color, let’s give respect where it’s due: this particular brand has been a master of the game since 1915.

What’s your favorite retro look? Spill in the comments below!

Halloween is almost upon us, and there's no need to panic if you haven't started planning your costume. We've got you covered with 100 (!!) Halloween costumes that are perfect for those looking for something a little bit nostalgic this year.

Remember this chick? This nine-year-old had superhuman strength, and completely insane pig tails. (via Brit + Co)

This intercontinental style icon will always be relevant. To create the look, it's all about making sure you've got a few key elements (like that red hat with yellow trim!) covered. (via Brit + Co)

Lisa Turtle

We kind of think of this one as a hybrid between Lisa Turtle and Kelly Kapowski — the volume and sunny attitude is all Kelly, and the incredible vest and gold lame mini dress has Lisa written all over it. (via Brit + Co)

Wednesday Addams

Brit + Co

Go goth with this adorable Wednesday Addams get up. This costume calls for the most layers — black tights, a collared shirt, and a tight cardigan — which will certainly help keep you cozy. Channel your inner troublemaker and start perfecting that straight-faced, vapid stare. (via Brit + Co)

'A Christmas Story' Leg Lamp

Amazon

A Christmas Story, anyone? Now you can be THAT lamp. (via Amazon)

Journey with us back to 1988, when a world accepted the idea that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito could be… twins? Wait, WHAT?

Bob Ross and Happy Little Tree

C.R.A.F.T.

If you grew up with painting pro Bob Ross telling you how to paint “happy little trees,” then you’ll probably feel a bit nostalgic with this one. The costume can be a solo act or a group effort if you have a happy little tree or two. (via C.R.A.F.T.)

Dylan and Brenda from 'Beverly Hills, 90210'

Fox/I Am Not A Stalker

We had to serve up the side by side for this one — that strapless dress with giant white bow and black gloves is just too good. In true 90210 fashion, this is definitely one of the more angsty, volatile couples of the ’90s. (via I Am Not a Stalker)

Sonny and Cher

Rachel Zoe

This pop star pair are a favorite for costume season, but Rachel Zoe and her hubby Roger Berman look nearly unidentifiable! Their attention to detail is stellar. (via @rachelzoe)

Serena + Blair

Warner Bros. TV

It would be pretty tough to copy Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen’s actual looks from the hit show Gossip Girl, but you can still channel these Upper East Side school girls with some classic accessories — pearls and a headband for B and a short skirt and loose tie for S. (via Warner Bros.)

Happy birthday Rory Gilmore! Like the true Gilmore Girls fall gal she is, Rory's birthday is in the best autumn month: October. The bookworm would turn 40 on October 8 this year, and this milestone birthday had me thinking about Rory's 16th birthday. On a recent rewatch, I noticed one thing about the scene I'd never seen before: when Alexis leans over to blow out the candles on Rory's birthday cake, her boa almost catches on fire until Keiko Agena (who played Lane Kim on the series) saves it at the last moment!

What episode is Rory's 16th birthday?

Warner Bros. TV

In "Rory's Birthday Parties" (Gilmore Girls season 1, episode 6), Rory's turning 16 and both Lorelai and Emily have very different ideas of how they can celebrate. Emily and Richard throw Rory a posh get together, complete with all the Chilton students who don't actually like her, while Lor gathers the residents of Stars Hollow for a laidback party.

Sookie makes a delicious cake with Rory's face on it, and when Rory leans over the blow out the candles, there's a moment when her feather boa (and a bit of Alexis Bledel's hair) get a little too close to the fire. Good thing Keiko Agena swoops in to save the day!

Warner Bros. TV

This is one of my favorite Gilmore Girls episodes because it perfectly balances the zaniness of Stars Hollow (seen in Sookie's hilarious birthday cake) with something everyone can take part in, even if we can't visit Lorelai and Rory ;).

When is Rory Gilmore's birthday?

Warner Bros. TV

Rory Gilmore's birthday is October 8, 1984! That technically makes her a part of Gen X, but you know she's still our millennial queen!

What's Rory Gilmore's zodiac sign?

Warner Bros. TV

Rory Gilmore is a Libra, which makes SO much sense! She craves peace and harmony, but sometimes her inability to choose sides really gets her into trouble. Rory could honestly pro/con list her life until the end of time, but thankfully she has folks in her corner to eventually get her out of her own head.

How old was Lorelai when Rory was 16?

Warner Bros. TV

Lorelai had Rory when she was 16 years old, so on Rory's 16th birthday, Lorelai is 32.

In what episode does Rory turn 17?

Warner Bros. TV

Since Rory's 16th birthday party is in season 1, her 17th birthday would be in season 2. We know that Lorelai and Max were supposed to get married at the end of summer, which means season 2, episode 3, "Red Light on the Wedding Night," in which Lorelai calls off the wedding, would take probably place around the end of August, while episode 10, "The Bracebridge Dinner," is around Christmastime. My guess is Rory's 17th birthday is around episode 6 or 7.

Warner Bros. TV

Did you catch this moment from Rory's 16th birthday? Check out why TikTok’s Viral 'Demure Fall' Trend Is SO Rory Gilmore.

The 70's are calling, and you’ll want to pick up. It seems like everywhere I turn these days, 70's-era trends are popping up. From the TV adaptation of Daisy Jones & The Six to the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming The Album release, retro inspiration is infiltrating everything from fashion and music to, yes – interior design.

Call it a comeback: disco balls are everywhere, and have quickly become a must-have home decor staple. And what’s not to love about them? The party balls evoke feelings of a good time and, now that sun is streaming in strong, the mirrored tiles instantly send a confetti of light dancing across the room.

While we love the look of a classic disco ball, there are now so many unique ways to dial into the disco trend. Check out some disco decor that goes beyond the ball below!

Uncommon Goods Disco Ball Hanging Planter ($50)

My friend has this planter hanging in her apartment, and let’s just say I have serious planter-envy. Ideal for plants who love lots of direct sunlight – looking at you, succulents – this disco ball can be dangled in any window to send confetti light across the entire room.

Sofiest Designs Disco Mushroom ($90-150)

Cottagecore meets funky town with these mirrored mushrooms. Available in small and medium sizes, these shiny shrooms add a dash of disco to your desk, dresser, or bookshelf.

Lady Moon Co. Mini Disco Ball Piñatas Set Of 3 ($16)

What’s funkier than some fringe? Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a bachelorette party, or simply embracing an extra-festive Friday, these metallic mini disco ball piñatas, which come in sets of 3, add immediate fun to any celebration.

Sofiest Designs Disco Martini Glass ($160)

Hand-tiled in San Diego, CA, this decorative mirrored martini glass would sit beautifully on any bar cart (bonus points if the bar cart has a glass base for extra reflection). Now, will that be shaken or stirred?

Sofiest Designs Disco Margarita Glass ($160)

Trade your olives for limes, and get ready to disco the night away with this decorative mirrored margarita glass, the sister of the Disco Martini Glass.

Sofiest Designs Disco UFO ($160)

Disco has definitely descended to earth with this mirrored UFO. Land this piece on top of your coffee table and watch specks of light fly across the room like a shooting star across the night sky!

Wavy Disco Mirror ($350)

Get ready for the funkiest 'fit checks of your life. This mirror is handmade in the U.S. and is light enough to be either hung on the wall or placed on any countertop or shelf. Reflecting light off of itself, this mirror will brighten up any room and, let’s face it, when your mirror is a disco ball, you can’t help but boogie.

Silver Disco Bear ($150)

Your favorite stuffed animal just went glam. The Disco Bear also comes with a 20-inch chain for hanging purposes. How cute would this look dangling from your car mirror – disco-on-the-go anyone?

Sofiest Designs Disco Globe ($160)

Your classic disco ball is taken up a notch in this fully functional globe. Impossible to miss, give this globe a whirl when the sun hits and watch light dance around the room.

Miracles happen once in a while, which is apparent because The Princess Diaries 3 is in the works at Disney, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's been 20 years since we last saw Mia, Lily, and Queen Clarisse (and since all three took part in one of the greatest birthday party scenes in film history. Tons of snacks! Karaoke! Mattress surfing!).

The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2 remain heartfelt, uplifting, and empowering, and we'll never get tired of them. Plus, the resurgence of Y2K pop culture just makes dressing up like Mia more fun than it already was. While much of this reported film (including the cast) is still rumor-only, we do have a few tidbits to share and will keep updating as news is released.

Who's in The Princess Diaries 3 cast?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

Anne Hathaway finally confirmed her return to the world of Genovia with an Instagram video in early October. But will Chris Pine be joining her?

"I don't know anything," the actor said on The Today Show on October 8. "Call Disney. Call Bob Iger. The answer is honestly I don’t know anything about it. I think it’s fantastic."

Chris' character Nicholas Devreaux, and his relationship with Mia in Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, was a lot of millennial and Gen Z viewers' first enemies-to-lovers relationship, and it's safe to say we've never been the same. While Chris Pine claims he has no clue whether he'll return, his recent haircut (which is very similar to Nicholas') has fans calling his bluff.

"I need Chris Pine to return as Nicholas Devereaux looking like this in Princess Diaries 3, and I will not be taking questions at this time," one X user tweeted, while another agrees, "oh he's definitely already taping the 3rd movie as we speak and you can't convince me otherwise."

Julie Andrews and Raven-Symoné have also been a part of the franchise, but there's no word on whether they'd return either. In December of 2022, Variety reported that Julie Andrews doubts that she'll be able to return to the franchise, but we're still holding out hope!

Stay tuned for the official Princess Diaries 3 cast list!

When is the Princess Diaries 3 release date?

Walt Disney Studios

Rom-com fans will be thrilled to know Adele Lim, who worked on Crazy Rich Asians (one of the best rom-coms of the 21st Century) will direct. We don't have a release date yet, but it appears pre-production has begun. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Supergirl and Quantum Leap writer Aadrita Mukerji is working on the script, and producer Debra Martin Chase (who worked on the first two films) is returning to produce. We're all in favor of women behind the scenes, so this news gets two thumbs up from us!

Anne Hathaway (whose new movie The Idea Of You is streaming on Prime Video now) recently revealed the movie's development is going very well. “We’re in a good place,” she tells V Magazine. “That’s all I can say. There’s nothing to announce yet. But we’re in a good place.”

What has Anne Hathaway said about Julie Andrews?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

In her recent cover story with Vanity Fair, Anne Hathaway talks about how working with Julie Andrews changed her life forever. “She respected that [fans] had a relationship to her work that spanned their entire lives and made it a beautiful experience for them,” she says of Julie stopping to sign autographs every day during The Princess Diaries. “I don’t know that I was always capable of that. So I’ve learned that I want to handle myself in a way that I’m going to be proud of at a later date.”

Anne also has a major appreciation for howThe Princess Diaries franchise as a whole turned her life upside down. "This was the film that changed my life," she says. "It felt so big at the time, and it wound up being so big, and it's kind of just gotten bigger as my life has progressed...So this is a total fusion of life and work, and all the things, and I'm just so proud to be in this movie."

What is The Princess Diaries 3 about?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

We don't have an official script, but according to sources, the film might continue the storyline from the previous two movies. Based on the books by Meg Cabot, both films follow Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway), an awkward high schooler who learns she is next in line to be queen of Genovia. Makeovers, royal balls, romance, and tons of fun follow.

Gary Marshall, the director of the first two movies who passed away in 2016, told People that one idea he shared with Anne Hathaway was to set The Princess Diaries 3 in the big city: "It looks like we want to do Princess Diaries 3 in Manhattan." As someone who lives in New York City, I might be biased, but setting the story in Manhattan would be INCREDIBLE. Would Mia hang out at the Met? Would the movie feature any nods to The Devil Wears Prada? Anne Hathaway, if you need another background extra, hit me up!

Where can you watch The Princess Diaries 3?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

It's TBD whether this film would release in theaters or on streaming, but you can watch both The Princess Diariesand The Princess Diaries 2on Disney+ now ;).

What's the Princess Diaries cast saying?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

Don't fret, Princess Diaries fans, Chris Pine is TOTALLY on board for a Genovian reunion. "Yeah, I'm here! I'm here for it," Pine told Entertainment Tonight. "Give me a phone call or an email."

The actor (and our personal crush) played Lord Nicholas Deveraux in 2004's The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Deveraux rivaled Anne Hathaway's Princess Mia Thermopolis for the throne, becoming her friend and love interest.

Recently, Hathaway toldPeople that the a third installment in the franchise was still in development and far from production, but it was "thrilling" to "see the level of excitement for it." However, while the movie industry gears turn slowly, she is still very much advocating for the long-awaited three-quel.

While I love a good lipstick, sometimes you need something that's a little more understated and a lot more hydrating — that's where tinted lip balms come in. These are absolutely perfect for the coming colder months, giving you an opportunity to add a little color to your face, while also being practical and moisturizing in the face of harsh, chilly winds. So if you've ever thought to yourself, "The best tinted lip balm doesn't exist," get ready! Here are all the tinted lip balms we're obsessed with right now!

What's the most popular tinted lip balm?

From what I've seen, Burt's Bee's Tinted Lip takes the cake! It was mentioned so many times on Reddit that I lost count. Meant to offer 8 hours of hydration, it's formulated with beeswax and is free of parabens, petrolatum, SLS, and phtalates! You can also find shea butter in the formula which adds to the moisturized feeling this claims to give.

If you're still not convinced, take a look at what customers are actually saying about this tinted lip balm.
