Maybelline’s Colorsensational lipstick in Vivid Rose (875)
An intense deep pink that looks like a neutral red, maybe leaning a little bit cool. The color does tend to fade after about an hour, but it doesn’t melt away entirely. There’s a little bit of staining, but not too much.

Just Can’t Get Enough: Reese Witherspoon Owns a Literal Rainbow of Designer Pumps
Reese Witherspoon is arguably our single most prolific celebrity collector of handbags and shoes. If you’ve ever loved a brightly colored pump or satchel, Reese has that. In fact, she probably has it in triplicate. But her ardor for bright colors has been slipping into overdrive recently, and we’ve seen Reese wearing gorgeous pumps in every color of the rainbow (and a few that definitely fall outside of the ROYGBIV schema).

This Is How Stress Could Be Causing Your Hair to Fall Out
As someone who recently experienced losing a cat-sized quantity of hair in a single shower session, I've become preoccupied with learning more about what makes hair thin out versus grow in thick and strong. In my case, the explanation for the former is obvious—the birth of my third child (pregnancy is known for giving hair Victoria's Secret model volume only to take it all away, and then some, once baby arrives). But as I try to encourage the fine baby hairs sprouting all over my hairline—super fun to style—to multiply and thrive, I've been researching different supplements. Ever taken a look at the hair/nails vitamin section of Whole Foods alone? It's overwhelming enough to make you pull out the rest of your hair.
Meanwhile, the worst thing I can do for my wonky, sparse hair is to stress about it—or anything else. At least that's my takeaway from a fascinating new article in The Atlantic that breaks down how emotional angst can cause hair to thin. Put very simply, when you go through a stressful period—a layoff, surgery, breakup, etc.—hairs prematurely come out of growth mode and go into resting mode, after which they eventually fall out. This is a normal progression, but under ordinary circumstances, hairs go through those phases at different times during their two- to six-year lifespan, so you only shed an average of 50 to 100 a day (which sounds like a lot but really isn't, when you consider that the average person has up to 150,000 strands on her head). But a stressful event can make it happen to lots of hairs at the same time—meaning small cat in your shower drain.
Here's the weird part: Those hairs don't fall out right away. Mirroring hair loss after childbirth, stress-induced shedding takes place well after the trauma. Like clockwork, the "resting" hairs remain on your head for about three months before finally dropping. The Atlantic story quotes Kurt Stenn, author of the new book Hair: A Human History, which I need to read yesterday: "It’s a rule of thumb that if a patient comes into a dermatologist’s office worried about hair loss, the first thing they’ll ask is, 'What happened three months before?'" Goes to show that the stress angle is no joke. In fact, he says stress can lead you to lose up to 10 times as much hair as usual. So, possibly a thousand strands in a day. Gahh!
While the exact reason stress sabotages our hair isn't yet proven, it appears that stress hormones like cortisol might be at the root of the problem. So I'm thinking that, just like with acne and weight gain, one of the most important things I can do for my hair (in addition to that perfect supplement, which I WILL find) is manage my stress better. Which, of course, means those same-old boring basics like getting enough sleep, working out, eating right. As always, they're easier said than done, but I do appreciate this new motivation. In the meantime, allow me to leave you with something more easily doable: 15 volumizing hair tricks that will change your life.

Lady Gaga Got a Matching Tattoo With the Rape Survivors From Her Oscars Performance
Lady Gaga got a new tattoo yesterday, but not just some random pretty art. As she explained in a Snapchat where she let fans watch the whole process, the tattoo is a symbol of unity that matches those gotten by the sexual assault survivors who joined her onstage at Sunday's Oscars. "At rehearsal, the survivors and I made a pact," she said in the clip, where tattoo artist David Allen inks the symbol on her left shoulder, below the heart and above the monster claw. (She even had to ask the survivors to Tweet her to help her figure out which way to place the design!)
The group of 50 survivors joined Gaga onstage after she performed her Oscar-nominated song "Til' It Happens to You" from the campus-rape documentary The Hunting Ground (relive the seven most goose-bump-inducing moments here). She shared on Instagram how emotionally overwhelming it was to connect with the women. "The first day of rehearsal with all the survivors I could barely get myself together," she writes. "My body was wrecked with inflammation and pain, crying and shaking the whole walk to the stage. The whole night before I did not sleep. The fear of knowing I would finally face that I belonged in that group." Other members of the group have gotten the tattoo in a variety of sizes on different parts of their bodies, as shown in photos shared on Twitter by one survivor named Elver.

The Oscars marked the first time Gaga has been so public about her status as a survivor. Although she admitted in 2014 on The Howard Stern Show that she was raped at age 19, she had never told her grandmother and other close family members about the assault; they found out via her performance on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the exact placement of the unity symbol on Gaga's shoulder is meaningful too. The day before the Oscars, she referenced the claw tattoo on Instagram. "I never realized before but I put the tattoo of my fans 'monster paw' the symbol of our fan base right over my heart. It's not easy to perform this song, but I know you will have my heart in your hands holding me up like you have for almost a decade," she captioned a photo of her back. And the heart bears the word "Dad." She got it after he had life-saving open-heart surgery in 2009. Gaga has said her love for her father is also the reason she has no tattoos on the right side of her body. "My father asked that I remain on one side slightly normal," she revealed in 2011.
And here we thought that video of Justin Bieber sharing the meaning behind all his tattoos was touching—leave it to Gaga to take even tattoo artistry to the next level.
