Aidan Milan / HuffPost UK Aidan Milan in the lip and cheek tintWe hope you love the products we recommend! When I was in secondary school, matte lips were everything. Whether you were part of the crowd who put foundation on their lips and called it a day or not; everyone could agree that a great, statement matte lip was a very powerful thing. On a whim, I decided to try the Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot by South Korean brand Fwee, in shade Boss (one of the darkest colours available, naturally).

LOADING ERROR LOADINGDUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — President Donald Trump said the U.S. bombed military sites Friday on an island vital to Iran’s oil network, while an American official said 2,500 more Marines and an amphibious assault ship are being sent to the Middle East nearly two weeks into the war with the Islamic Republic. Trump said U.S. forces “obliterated” targets on Iran’s Kharg Island — home to the primary terminal that handles the country’s oil exports — and warned that the island’s oil infrastructure could be next. Just a day before, the speaker of the Iranian parliament said such a strike would provoke a new level of retaliation.

It also introduces an “interim policy” governing the newspaper effective immediately that Feinberg says replaces previous Pentagon instructions. Throughout those tussles, Stripes journalists were exempt from those access rules as Pentagon employees and continued to report independently from oversight from defense officials. The Post reported that applications for jobs at Stars and Stripes included a question about how applicants would support the president’s policies. After weeks of silence from the Pentagon on Stripes, the March memo suggests that the newspaper may soon experience more sweeping changes. Katherine Jacobsen, the U.S., Canada and Caribbean program coordinator at the Committee to Protect Journalists, said the new Stripes policy adds to the Trump administration’s wider crackdown on the press.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department has slashed by about 80% the fee for Americans to formally renounce their U.S. citizenship. After years of legal battles with several groups representing Americans wanting to give up their citizenship, the department on Friday published a final rule in the Federal Register that reduces the cost from $2,350 to $450. The cost is now the same as it was when the State Department first started charging Americans to formally renounce their citizenship in 2010. Applicants must repeatedly confirm in multiple written and verbal attestations to a State Department consular officer that they understand the implications of the step before being allowed to take a formal oath of renunciation. “The Association of Accidental Americans welcomes this decision, which acknowledges the necessity of making this fundamental right accessible to all,” its president, Fabien Lahagre, said in a statement.

President Trump is asserting executive authority to demand the controversial resumption of offshore oil drilling along California’s coastline as gas prices soar amid the ongoing war with Iran. Energy Secretary Chris Wright quickly responded with an order directing Sable Offshore Corp. to restore operations of the Santa Ynez Unit and Santa Ynez Pipeline System along the Santa Barbara County coast. “Donald Trump started a war, admitted it would spike gas prices nationwide, and told Americans it was a small price to pay,” Newsom said. They also follow years of effort from Houston-based Sable Offshore Corp. to revive dormant oil infrastructure along the Santa Barbara County coast. Two weeks into the Iran war, crude oil has reached $100 a barrel, and the average price of gas in California has topped $5.40 a gallon, according to the American Automobile Assn.

"Beast Mode" started as a phrase people used to describe the running style of former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch. "And it's like, yeah, when I get the ball, that's what type of mode I'm in — I'm in beast mode." "But I believe in their mind what they had made up as Beast Mode is this larger-than-life, kind of surreal individual." On Friday, Arists Writers and Artisans announced the graphic novel "Beast Mode 510," which is scheduled to be released Oct. 6. "To use a football analogy, when Marshawn and his people came to me and said, 'Can you do anything with this, Beast Mode?'
