We Hate to Break It to You, but Sweating a Lot Doesn’t Mean Your Workout Is the Best

You've probably seen numerous workouts promising to make you sweat like never before, implying that the sweatier you are, the harder you've worked and the closer you are to achieving your fitness goals. But here's the thing, how much you sweat doesn't determine if you've worked harder, if you're getting stronger, or anything like that. It's just sweat — kind of.

Estée Lauder Is Sending a Product Into Space, Because Even Astronauts Love Their Serums

As a company, Estée Lauder has done a lot within the beauty industry over the last few decades, but the brand has never launched one of its own products into space — until now. The company announced on Sept. 18 that it's sending one of its star products — the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex — into space at the end of the month.

According to a release, the serum will be photographed and filmed by the crew aboard the International Space Station for Estée Lauder to later use for promotional purposes on its social media pages. “We are thrilled to reinforce our leadership once again as the first beauty brand to go into space,” Stéphane de La Faverie, Estée Lauder's global brand president, said in a statement. “NASA is at the forefront of space exploration, and as a leader in skincare innovation, Estée Lauder is proud to support the incredible work NASA is doing to promote a space economy by being the second-ever commercial product to launch.”

Victoria Beckham recently launched a brand-new collection of lipsticks that is oozing nostalgia. Posh, named quite clearly after her nickname in the Spice Girls, features nine neutral lipsticks that are just as chic and posh as she is.

All of the neutral tones were strategically selected to fit every skin tone and mood, and the only pop of color is the bright red shade named “Pop.”
