It feels a little late to be calling out a Billie Eilish release from the end of March, but this one just continues to be so good. On “Tough Guy,” there’s a sense of urgency to Eilish’s quietly confident thoughts on how, in spite of her dude’s inflated sense of masculinity, she’s really the dominant figure in this relationship. Billie’s a far cry from Ariana, but this is some BDE.

I want to congratulate whoever edited “The Rise of the Minimalist Skincare Routine” on their ability to spin a trend statement out of people’s realization that they won’t die if they scale back on the face products. And because no idea is complete without dogma, some “experts” are even saying you need to “detox” your skin of all those miracle products every so often by “fasting” your face. So I gotta know: if your face is fasting, does it get a special La Mer iftar at the end of the day? When is Eid? Give us the deets.

If you identify as male, your skin fast is over: there is a new cosmetics line just for you called War Paint. Predictably identical to other makeup formulations, each bottle of foundation, concealer, and bronzer has the words “for men” printed on it– because if they didn’t, who knows what kind of reassessment you’d have to do of your heteronormative ideals?

Ready for something straightforward? Atoms are minimalist, gender-neutral shoes that come only in black and white, and they are really, really comfortable. I just got a pair in the mail and have been using them almost like slippers: they’re breathable so you don’t need socks, the laces are stretchy so you never have to untie them. They also come in quarter-sizes so they super-duper fit. So if you’re looking for a functional basic that will never go out of style, look no further. Shop here.
