Ethics in publishing
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
If you have ethical concerns on a paper, whether published or in review, please contact the editor in the first instance. The editor will then follow the COPE guidelines as explained here https://www.elsevier.com/editors/publishing-ethics/perk/about-cope.
All authors are requested to disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations within three years of beginning the submitted work that could inappropriately influence, or be perceived to influence, their work. More information.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' section of our ethics policy for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service CrossCheck.
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Article transfer service
This journal is part of our Article Transfer Service. This means that if the Editor feels your article is more suitable in one of our other participating journals, then you may be asked to consider transferring the article to one of those. If you agree, your article will be transferred automatically on your behalf with no need to reformat. Please note that your article will be reviewed again by the new journal. More information.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (see more information on this). An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form or a link to the online version of this agreement.
Subscribers may reproduce tables of contents or prepare lists of articles including abstracts for internal circulation within their institutions. Permission of the Publisher is required for resale or distribution outside the institution and for all other derivative works, including compilations and translations. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases.
For open access articles: Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete an 'Exclusive License Agreement' (more information). Permitted third party reuse of open access articles is determined by the author's choice of user license.Author rights
As an author you (or your employer or institution) have certain rights to reuse your work. More information.

Role of the funding source
You are requested to identify who provided financial support for the conduct of the research and/or preparation of the article and to briefly describe the role of the sponsor(s), if any, in study design; in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the article for publication. If the funding source(s) had no such involvement then this should be stated.
Elsevier has established a number of agreements with funding bodies which allow authors to comply with their funder's open access policies. Some funding bodies will reimburse the author for the Open Access Publication Fee. Details of existing agreements are available online.
Open access
This journal offers authors a choice in publishing their research:
• Articles are freely available to both subscribers and the wider public with permitted reuse.
• An open access publication fee is payable by authors or on their behalf, e.g. by their research funder or institution.
• Articles are made available to subscribers as well as developing countries and patient groups through our universal access programs.
• No open access publication fee payable by authors.
Regardless of how you choose to publish your article, the journal will apply the same peer review criteria and acceptance standards.
For open access articles, permitted third party (re)use is defined by the following Creative Commons user licenses: Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)
Lets others distribute and copy the article, create extracts, abstracts, and other revised versions, adaptations or derivative works of or from an article (such as a translation), include in a collective work (such as an anthology), text or data mine the article, even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit the author(s), do not represent the author as endorsing their adaptation of the article, and do not modify the article in such a way as to damage the author's honor or reputation.
For non-commercial purposes, lets others distribute and copy the article, and to include in a collective work (such as an anthology), as long as they credit the author(s) and provided they do not alter or modify the article.
The open access publication fee for this journal is USD 1100, excluding taxes. Learn more about Elsevier's pricing policy: http://www.elsevier.com/openaccesspricing.
Green open access
Authors can share their research in a variety of different ways and Elsevier has a number of green open access options available. We recommend authors see our green open access page for further information. Authors can also self-archive their manuscripts immediately and enable public access from their institution's repository after an embargo period. This is the version that has been accepted for publication and which typically includes author-incorporated changes suggested during submission, peer review and in editor-author communications. Embargo period: For subscription articles, an appropriate amount of time is needed for journals to deliver value to subscribing customers before an article becomes freely available to the public. This is the embargo period and it begins from the date the article is formally published online in its final and fully citable form. Find out more.
This journal has an embargo period of 24 months.
Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submission please visit http://www.elsevier.com/languageediting or our customer support site at service.elsevier.com for more information.
Language Polishing: Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submission please visit http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageservices or visit our Support Center for more information. Please note Elsevier neither endorses nor takes responsibility for any products, goods or services offered by outside vendors through our services or in any advertising. For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions: http://www.elsevier.com/termsandconditions.
SubmissionOur online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files. The system converts your article files to a single PDF file used in the peer-review process. Editable files (e.g., Word, LaTeX) are required to typeset your article for final publication. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, is sent by e-mail.
Revised submissions
Should Authors be requested by the Editor to revise the text, the revised version should be submitted within 16 weeks. After this period, the article will be regarded as a new submission.
Please submit, with the manuscript, the names, addresses and e-mail addresses of three potential referees. Note that the editor retains the sole right to decide whether or not the suggested reviewers are used.
Review PolicyAs this journal has adopted a double blind reviewing policy, please remove all identifying features from the paper by ensuring that it would not be possible to identify the authors or their affiliation from names appearing in the main text, in-text citations, reference list, acknowledgements, or any filename. Authors are requested to include their name, the title of their article and their full contact details on a separate title page as detailed below.
To complete the submission process the following files will need to be submitted in the order displayed below:
1. Covering letter - a letter of introduction to the Editor briefly explaining the research work.
2. Manuscript - the main article containing the research work.
3. Tables (if any).
4. Figures (if any).
5. Supplementary Material (if any)
6. Acknowledgements.
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the wordprocessor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the wordprocessor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. Do not embed "graphically designed" equations or tables, but prepare these using the wordprocessor's facility. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier: http://www.elsevier.com/guidepublication). Do not import the figures into the text file but, instead, indicate their approximate locations directly in the electronic text and on the manuscript. See also the section on Electronic illustrations. If your manuscript contains equations and your source file is a Microsoft Word 2007 document (.docx), please re-save it as a Word 2003 file (.doc). This converts the equations to image format. The Word 2003 (.doc) file should be uploaded onto EVISE.
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the "spell-check" and "grammar-check" functions of your wordprocessor.
We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word or WordPerfect is preferred. The preferred order of files is as follows: cover letter, suggested reviewers, response to reviews (revised manuscripts only), manuscript file(s), table(s), figure(s). Files should be labeled with appropriate and descriptive file names (e.g., SmithText.doc, Fig1.eps, Table3.doc).
Article structure Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Highlights are mandatory for this journal. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey the core findings of the article and should be submitted in a separate editable file in the online submission system. Please use 'Highlights' in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point). You can view example Highlights on our information site.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
Collate acknowledgements in a separate file to the manuscript and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assitance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Formatting of funding sources
List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder's requirements:
It is not necessary to include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards. When funding is from a block grant or other resources available to a university, college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or organization that provided the funding.
If no funding has been provided for the research, please include the following sentence:This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
FootnotesFootnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Otherwise, please indicate the position of footnotes in the text and list the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list. Electronic artwork
General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Embed the used fonts if the application provides that option.
• Aim to use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, Symbol, or use fonts that look similar.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Size the illustrations close to the desired dimensions of the published version.
• Submit each illustration as a separate file.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available.
You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is' in the native document format.
Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels) line drawings, keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.
Please do not:
• Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and limited set of colors;
• Supply files that are too low in resolution;
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Color artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF (or JPEG), EPS (or PDF), or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color online (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please indicate your preference for color: in print or online only. Further information on the preparation of electronic artwork.
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Data references
This journal encourages you to cite underlying or relevant datasets in your manuscript by citing them in your text and including a data reference in your Reference List. Data references should include the following elements: author name(s), dataset title, data repository, version (where available), year, and global persistent identifier. Add [dataset] immediately before the reference so we can properly identify it as a data reference. The [dataset] identifier will not appear in your published article.
Please ensure that the words 'this issue' are added to any references in the list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same Special Issue.
Reference management software
Most Elsevier journals have their reference template available in many of the most popular reference management software products. These include all products that support Citation Style Language styles, such as Mendeley and Zotero, as well as EndNote. Using the word processor plug-ins from these products, authors only need to select the appropriate journal template when preparing their article, after which citations and bibliographies will be automatically formatted in the journal's style. If no template is yet available for this journal, please follow the format of the sample references and citations as shown in this Guide.
Users of Mendeley Desktop can easily install the reference style for this journal by clicking the following link:
When preparing your manuscript, you will then be able to select this style using the Mendeley plug-ins for Microsoft Word or LibreOffice.
Text: Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition, ISBN 978-1-4338-0561-5, copies of which may be ordered online or APA Order Dept., P.O.B. 2710, Hyattsville, MD 20784, USA or APA, 3 Henrietta Street, London, WC3E 8LU, UK.
List: references should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.

Elsevier accepts video material and animation sequences to support and enhance your scientific research. Authors who have video or animation files that they wish to submit with their article are strongly encouraged to include links to these within the body of the article. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. All submitted files should be properly labeled so that they directly relate to the video file's content. In order to ensure that your video or animation material is directly usable, please provide the files in one of our recommended file formats with a preferred maximum size of 150 MB. Video and animation files supplied will be published online in the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect. Please supply 'stills' with your files: you can choose any frame from the video or animation or make a separate image. These will be used instead of standard icons and will personalize the link to your video data. For more detailed instructions please visit our video instruction pages. Note: since video and animation cannot be embedded in the print version of the journal, please provide text for both the electronic and the print version for the portions of the article that refer to this content.
Supplementary material such as applications, images and sound clips, can be published with your article to enhance it. Submitted supplementary items are published exactly as they are received (Excel or PowerPoint files will appear as such online). Please submit your material together with the article and supply a concise, descriptive caption for each supplementary file. If you wish to make changes to supplementary material during any stage of the process, please make sure to provide an updated file. Do not annotate any corrections on a previous version. Please switch off the 'Track Changes' option in Microsoft Office files as these will appear in the published version.
Data linking
If you have made your research data available in a data repository, you can link your article directly to the dataset. Elsevier collaborates with a number of repositories to link articles on ScienceDirect with relevant repositories, giving readers access to underlying data that give them a better understanding of the research described.
For supported data repositories a repository banner will automatically appear next to your published article on ScienceDirect.
In addition, you can link to relevant data or entities through identifiers within the text of your manuscript, using the following format: Database: xxxx (e.g., TAIR: AT1G01020; CCDC: 734053; PDB: 1XFN). AudioSlides
The journal encourages authors to create an AudioSlides presentation with their published article. AudioSlides are brief, webinar-style presentations that are shown next to the online article on ScienceDirect. This gives authors the opportunity to summarize their research in their own words and to help readers understand what the paper is about. More information and examples are available. Authors of this journal will automatically receive an invitation e-mail to create an AudioSlides presentation after acceptance of their paper.
This journal enables you to show an Interactive Plot with your article by simply submitting a data file. Full instructions. Availability of accepted article
This journal makes articles available online as soon as possible after acceptance. This concerns the accepted article (both in HTML and PDF format), which has not yet been copyedited, typeset or proofread. A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is allocated, thereby making it fully citable and searchable by title, author name(s) and the full text. The article's PDF also carries a disclaimer stating that it is an unedited article. Subsequent production stages will simply replace this version.
Online proof correction
Corresponding authors will receive an e-mail with a link to our online proofing system, allowing annotation and correction of proofs online. The environment is similar to MS Word: in addition to editing text, you can also comment on figures/tables and answer questions from the Copy Editor. Web-based proofing provides a faster and less error-prone process by allowing you to directly type your corrections, eliminating the potential introduction of errors.
If preferred, you can still choose to annotate and upload your edits on the PDF version. All instructions for proofing will be given in the e-mail we send to authors, including alternative methods to the online version and PDF.
We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility.
The corresponding author will, at no cost, receive a customized Share Link providing 50 days free access to the final published version of the article on ScienceDirect. The Share Link can be used for sharing the article via any communication channel, including email and social media. For an extra charge, paper offprints can be ordered via the offprint order form which is sent once the article is accepted for publication. Both corresponding and co-authors may order offprints at any time via Elsevier's Webshop. Corresponding authors who have published their article open access do not receive a Share Link as their final published version of the article is available open access on ScienceDirect and can be shared through the article DOI link.
Visit the Elsevier Support Center to find the answers you need. Here you will find everything from Frequently Asked Questions to ways to get in touch.
You can also check the status of your submitted article or find out when your accepted article will be published.

Cupid's Undie Run Seattle photos | Seattle editorial photographer
Posted in assignment work, Bellingham editorial photographer, Bellingham environmental portraits, Bellingham visual journalist, Downtown Seattle, editorial work, news, Seattle editorial photographer, Seattle environmental portraits, Seattle visual journalist, Washington by bermanphotos on February 12, 2012
I had a hilarious time photographing the Cupid's Undie Run in Seattle yesterday — and not just because I got to capture this surreal experience — though, luckily for all involved — I remained clothed! This was a blast because everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun, and were not timid about the huge number of photographers that seemed to make it out to Fremont. I tried my best to get close to people and let them know my intentions and put them at ease. Their alcohol tended to do the rest…

GorgeousComplements' Profile
My Stores: http://www.etsy.com/shop/GorgeousComplements
I actually started my online business in 2008 when I was still living in my hometown in Mexico and had been a dressmaker for over 17 years at that point, but saw the need to change with the change of the times.
I was unsure what I wanted to create or what would people buy from all the handmade items I was able to make since I know how to make from underwear to wedding gowns and pretty much everything in between when it comes to woman's clothing.
It took me months to narrow it down to a few things and my wedding veils and accessories where what people wanted from me the most, it was unexpected but very welcome, it goes to show you that keeping your mind open to new ideas is always a good thing.
It's wonderful to work with such beautiful materials…

I love this brush a lot, and I have two of them, one for blush/bronzer and one for setting powder/highlight. The shape and density of this brush are perfect for applying all my powder face products. It picks up just the right amount of product and blends so amazingly well. I used to hate using up the last bits of powder product along the edge of the pan, but the tapered shape makes it so easy without having to scrape the product out or smashing the bristles to pick up the powder evenly. For face makeup, you would only need this brush, a dense buffing brush, and a synthetic brush for liquid foundation and concealer.

Holy f** MAC. I paid $70CAD for this brush ($63+tax) aaahhhhh... but it's one of my proud investments.
Okay yes, it's true that you can use this brush for: blush, face, contouring, highlighting. But if you think about it, are you really going to mix a red blush, taupe blush, white setting powder on the same brush in one makeup application? It is a versatile brush, true, you can use it for anything. But I actually have a separate brush for each powder I use. And the 138, I specifically use it for contouring. I COULD wash the brush and use it as a blush brush on a different day, but usually I use the 138 for contouring.
It's very very soft and it diffuses well. I'm a "no-makeup makeup" kind of girl (though I do love eyeshadow!) and I much prefer when contouring acts like a light shadow (like the "shadow" in "puppet shadow"). So my contouring looks like it's from natural lighting, when really it's my light-hand taupe blush. The 138 makes this SO easy, it allows me to be very light-hand AND it diffuses the colour BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL. Because the 138 is pointed, I know where my powder goes. It blends the colour onto my face soooooooo well.
Whenever I use the 138, I know the dark colour is blended, my makeup looks very natural, and there's no unblended weird brown sticking out like I'm some makeup-idiot.
I didn't really care if it's soft or not (but it is), I need a brush that diffuses well. And it does. But it's also soft... oh my god, it's like heavenly soft that when I wash it, I feel like I'm destroying its angel-like body. Which is why I don't want to wash it daily! So I keep it as a taupe-colour-only brush.
With cheeks/blush application, it's the exact same. It blends blush extremely well even with a strong colour like the NARS Libert�.
I wouldn't use this for setting powder or foundation powder, I feel like you're just wasting your money. The 138 is way too amazing AND PRICEY to be used on something easy like foundation application!

If there is one brush you had to pick and buy..it would be this one!
This brush is super soft and not too dense but not too fluffy. Just perfect.
It has a very sturdy handy like most brushes at MAC..although this is on the pricey side ($63 CAD)..the quality is great like most of Mac brushes (this is made from Japan). I would recommend this brush because it is very VERSATILE. If you are like me, and don't like to have too many brushes at home, this brush is the one for you!!! Highly recommend!
You can use this brush and the different parts of the brush to:
- apply a all over bronzer OR
- contour your face
- apply highlighter
- apply blush
- apply a setting powder over the face
- apply a setting powder to set your undereye concealer.

Aaaaaaah- I finally got my hands on this amazing brush today via MAC's website because my local counter didn't carry it and the MAs actually never even heard of it! Still wonder how that's even possible. This brush is every good thing I expected based on my pre-purchase thorough "research." It's a must for everyone who wants to get the best results from their makeup.
The handle is average length for a MAC face brush, though I do wish it were a little longer given the large size of the brush itself, but I'm like that with most face brushes. The longer brushes are just more artistic to me, so don't let that personal preference deter you. The bristles are very soft and perfectly cut to a gentle point which makes it ultra versatile. I agree with the reviewer down below who said it could (or did?) easily be the one face brush you take to travel. It is perfect for placing powder in small areas only to avoid looking overly powdered, for applying bronzer or highlighter anywhere, contouring, precision blush placement and overall blending everything to perfection. It can also be used to apply a soft wash of color to eyelids but I doubt it would be ideal for placing crease colors.
I definitely recommend you get one ASAP, maybe even two which is what I plan on doing. Of course one is enough, BUT I tend to acquire multiples of HG products fearing they will be met with the awful "discontinued" doom!

I purchased this brush whilst I was in Hong Kong so I can't quite remember how much it cost, maybe the equivalent to around $60 AUD? However in Australia, it costs $105 - yes, the markup here is caaaarazy! It's made from natural fibres and the brush handle also says 'Japan'.
Anyway, this was the first MAC brush I ever bought. It was also my first 'higher end' brush. I mainly purchased it to use as a powder and bronzer brush. Because of the tapered shape, it's great for applying bronzer (I use Benefit's hoola) around my face and cheeks. I also use this for applying MAC's blot powder to my whole face.
This brush is soft so it feels nice and comfortable. I probably use MAC's brush cleaner every couple of weeks and deep clean with shampoo maybe once every two months since I don't wear bronzer/powder very often and therefore don't use the brush frequently. However, every time I do wear makeup, I always use this brush! After a year and a half of owning this brush, it still sheds a bit when I clean it. Around 3-5 hairs come out each time. It doesn't bother me too much because the brush overall has still kept its nice shape. I also don't find that I get any stray hairs on my face when I use it.
Knock on wood but if I lost this brush I would probably cry. Partly because it's my favourite and partly because it's so expensive here in Australia! In saying that, I would definitely repurchase it.

A great brush which works well with powder products. Du to its pointed end it is very good to apply product where control for the amount is important. I find it most useful for applying powder contouring, bronzing and highlighting products. Can also be used for final touch ups with face powder or fr applying blush.
It is very soft and doesn't shed at all.

I own many Mac brushes, but this is one of my favorites. I originally wanted the sigma or Sedona lace version, but I hate ordering online. I was in Fashion Valley with my grandparents and was fortunate to have a shopping spree in Mac and sephora, so I picked up this 138. I watch shaaanxo and she loves these brushes for bronzing, so that's what I use mine for. This is an amazing brush!!!! It is so soft and dense, and only a few hairs have fallen out. It bronzes perfectly, and then I use my 108 for my contour! This is quite an investment but if you get the chance I 100% recommend this brush.

I love this brush for applying powders, it's so soft :)

I am really loving this brush! It's pretty versatile. I use it when I want to lightly contour my face (it's too soft to do any serious contouring). I also use it to apply highlighter. I haven't used it for blush yet, but I imagine it would work great for that, too. I haven't noticed any shedding yet. The brustles are super soft. The retail price is ghastly, thankfully I get a 30% discount with my cosmo license. I realize they're supposedly hand-made, but $52 is crazy. With that said, I would re-purchase if I had to because it's good quality, it's soft, and it's multi-purpose.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium

I've been using this brush for nearly two years now and finally had no choice but to replace it. I love the softness of the bristles and the light and even coverage it gives, but the number of bristles that fall out every time I use it are increasing in number. It started out by only shedding a few large ones but now I find at least a dozen large bristles all over my face after doing my blush and powder. Then there are the tiny hair-like bristles that stick all over my face and are such a pain to pick off.
I've done my best to care for it. I clean it with warm water and baby shampoo every 1-2 weeks and lay it flat to dry. And I bought this from a MAC store in London so there's no question about it being an authentic product. It's the only MAC brush I've ever bought and I know everyone raves about them, but I've moved on to Chanel and am infinitely happier with their brushes.

Jay-Z Bailed On The Met Gala
Beyonce flew solo at the Met Gala…but WHY?
Well, you wanted answers and we GOT EM. Page Six made a big deal about how Beyonce wasnââ¬â¢t wearing her wedding ring and how she was walking solo, without her sister (who walked the red carpet later) or Jay-Z. Sources claim Bey decided not to wear her ring because she didnââ¬â¢t think it ââ¬Åmeshed wellââ¬Â with her Becky-skin Givenchy gown. But what of Jay-Z? The two made a point of going to the 2015 Met Gala together as a show of solidarity. But in a post-Lemonade world, what GIVES?
Beyoncé completely nailed her 2016 Met Gala look. There was just one thing missing when she hit the red carpet on Monday, May 2, in New York ââ¬â her husband, Jay Z. Although fashionââ¬â¢s biggest night comes on the heels of Beyââ¬â¢s much talked-about visual album, Lemonade, sources tell Us Weekly that the rapperââ¬â¢s absence is no biggie ââ¬â heââ¬â¢s simply just been there, done that.
ââ¬ÅHeââ¬â¢s done it before,ââ¬Â the insider explains to Us. ââ¬ÅThereââ¬â¢s just no big reason for him to go.ââ¬Â
UM, OKAY. And he also didn't feel the need to go to the after-party, either:
Beyoncé attended the Met Gala and after parties sans husband Jay Z. The singer first posed at Gilded Lily for the Balmain bash, where she hung out with the fashion houseââ¬â¢s creative director, Olivier Rousteing, and her little sister Solange, who arrived with her husband, Alan Ferguson.
ââ¬ÅI donââ¬â¢t know where Jay was and I definitely thought it was interesting he didnââ¬â¢t come,ââ¬Â said one partygoer. ââ¬ÅIt definitely fuels speculation about the relationship, but I think thatââ¬â¢s probably the point. People at the Met were talking about it.ââ¬Â
But the chatter didnââ¬â¢t bother Beyoncé one bit.
She celebrated with Champagne and ââ¬Åwas in high spirits hanging out on the banquette with Olivier. She seemed to be in a very good mood,ââ¬Â a different source said.
Bey later headed over to Up & Down, where DJ Jus Ske played Beyoncéââ¬â¢s song ââ¬ÅFormationââ¬Â as she arrived with Solange.
Oh man, all this stuff seems so…suspect. Like he's still in marital purgatory, sorta. What do YOU make of Bey's Jay-Z-lessness?

I wanted to spread the word about Little Blends by Horizon natural! My son hated the YoBaby yogurts but he just loves these. They are actually a wonderful blend of yogurt, fruit and veggies. I wanted to give you moms a healthy alternative to try, if your baby does not like the yobaby yogurts or does not like veggies. Give these a try! They are a bit expensive but there is a 75 cent coupon in every package, so if you your baby or toddler loves them as much as mine, try to hit double coupon day at the grocery store and save quite a bit!!

Top 5 Best 3D Printing and Drawing Pens | 2017 Reviews
Forget the time-tested fingerpaints, sidewalk chalk and boxes of 64 Crayola crayons with colors like burnt amber and magenta. Don't bother with the old-fashioned Spirograph and the whiteboards of the '90s and '00s, and put aside more modern options like Bamboo drawing tablets and smartphone apps like Do Ink.
What kids go crazy over these days are state-of-the-art 3D printing and drawing pens.
These pens don't use ink at all. Instead, they are filled with plastic which is melted at high temperatures and then cools as it comes of the pen, so it can be used to draw on surfaces or in mid-air to create three-dimensional artwork. Kids love them because they can let their imagination run wild without being confined to a piece of paper and two-dimensions, while adults find them an invaluable tool for conceptual thinking and advanced 3D modeling. They can even be used for artistic decorations placed onto everyday objects, simple repair work, or together with a 3D printer to attach small parts to larger objects.
The best 3D pens allow you to choose the plastic filament used by the implement, the temperature at which it's melted, and the speed at which it is extruded from the pen. Generally speaking, a 3D pen is almost as easy to use as a traditional one – but there are definitely some that are more versatile and comfortable to manipulate than others.
Many models are thick and bulky, making them difficult to grasp and draw with. Some jam up easily, while others are somewhat noisy or unable to work with both of the common plastic media types used for 3D drawing (the media require different temperatures to work properly). On the other hand, there are 3D printing and drawing pens that come with bells and whistles like advanced unclogging mechanisms and LCD screens which display the current temperature and speed settings.
The technology may be relatively new, but we're on top of it. We've checked out the major (and some minor) players in the market, and put together a list of the top 5 best 3D printing and drawing pens. But before that, check out first our Best 3D Printing and Drawing Pen Buying Guide.
And here it is.
Quick Comparison Table
7TECH 3D Printing Pen with LCD Screen | Scribbler 3D Printing Pen V3 | Samto 3D Pen Version 2015 | CreoPop Cordless 3D Printing Pen | ccbetter Intelligent 3D Pen (Version III) |
$$$ | $$$ | $$$ | $$$ | $$$ |

7TECH 3D Printing Pen With LCD Screen, Version 2015
Since these devices are still in their infancy, manufacturers are continually refining and improving them so you'll often see version identifiers in their names. It's always a good idea to choose the latest iteration such as Version 2015 of the 7TECH 3D pen, our choice as the best.
It's difficult to manufacture a slim pen that has a heater inside (although we'll review one in a bit), and we'd find it wrong to describe the 7TECH as "slim." However, it's not as unwieldy as many competitors, weighs just a few ounces and has been ergonomically designed so that it's easy to hold and manipulate. The LCD screen is placed in the middle of the barrel so it's always in sight, and the buttons that adjust the filament thickness and the temperature being used are right next to the screen making them easy to control as you draw. There are also controls further down the barrel for changing the speed at which the filament is extruded, and a slider to choose whether the plastic goes backward or forward (we know that one sounds confusing, but it makes more sense as you're actually using the pen to draw in three dimensions).
The 7TECH uses 1.75mm plastic filament, and can generate the higher temperatures necessary to work with ABS (Acylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) as well as the lower temperatures used to heat organic PLA (polylactic acid). We won't get into the pros and cons of each medium, other than to say that PLA smells better when heated and is a better choice to be used by children, even though it's more likely to break apart after a design has been created. Whichever you choose (and this pen comes with a small amount of various-colored ABS filament included, as well as a spatula to help you work with the plastic without burning your fingers), the 7TECH will heat it and extrude it properly. Incidentally, it works off AC power.
Another reason this 3D pen has reached the top spot in our rankings is that it jams less frequently than most of its competitors, thanks to an anti-clogging design. When it does inevitably jam, though (something to be expected when you're heating plastic inside a small chamber over a prolonged period of time), the 7TECH is easier to take apart and clean out than the rest of the pens on this list.
Needless to say, this tip of this pen (and every other 3D printing and drawing pen) will get extremely hot at the tip, so this isn't a toy for young children; the manufacturer recommends a lower age limit of 8. The 7TECH is, though, seems less "dangerous" to us than the hot glue guns regularly used by elementary-school kids, and there's nothing in its construction which makes it overly hazardous. It also shuts off automatically after five minutes of idle time. At about $80 and in the right hands, it's just plain fun – and potentially quite useful.
Details of the 7TECH 3D Printing Pen With LCD Screen, Version 2015 | |
Power | AC 120/220V |
Nozzle Diameter | 0.7mm |
Medium | 1.75mm spool, ABS or PLA filament |
Temperature Range | 160-230, adjustable |
Adjustable temperature/filament thickness | Yes |
Size | 7.3 x 1 x 1.5 inches |
Weight | 2.2 ounces |
Scribbler 3D Printing Pen V3
Here is version three of the Scribbler, and just as with the 7TECH model, a number of positive changes have been implemented from earlier generations of this 3D pen. The most obvious is that there's an OLED display screen on V3 to show you the current settings for metrics like temperature and feed speed. The even more impressive update which isn't visible – but is extremely useful – is that the Scribbler doesn't just restrict you to ABS or PLA filament, but will also work with bronze, copper, wooden and flexible styles of plastic. And aside from the six selectable temperature settings, you can easily choose just "ABS" or "PLA" settings and the pen will determine the appropriate temperature for your filament automatically. The unit comes in a choice of seven colors, and three small spools of PLA filament are included.
There are also a couple of smart safety design features on the Scribbler. One is a safety shutoff similar to the 7TECH's which only waits for a couple of minutes of idle time before turning the unit off; the other is the use of a ceramic nozzle, instead of the more-common copper nozzles which conduct heat and present a greater risk of accidental skin burns.
The V3 model works very well and the new features are very well thought-out, but there are several reasons we rank it a bit lower than the latest version of the 7TECH pen. One is that it's a little more prone to jams and slightly more difficult to open and clean. The other is that it's $20-30 more expensive than the 7TECH.
Details of the Scribbler 3D Printing Pen V3 | |
Power | AC 120V |
Nozzle Diameter | 0.7mm |
Medium | 1.75mm spool, ABS, PLA, bronze, copper, wooden and flexible filament |
Temperature Range | 170-220, adjustable |
Adjustable temperature/filament thickness | Yes |
Size | 6 x 2 x 4 inches |
Weight | 2.4 ounces |
Samto 3D Pen Version 2015
We really wanted to place the Samto at the top of our list of the top 5 best 3D printing and drawing pens. It's among the lightest, its slimmer construction makes it a bit easier to hold and draw with than our first two choices, and it comes with an anti-jam detector built into the pen. However, we've found that the Samto's quality isn't quite as reliable as we'd like. If you get a good one, it's terrific. If you get a dud, you may end up struggling with it or exchanging it for a new one. We also thought the LCD screen was awfully small and hard to read.
Putting those concerns aside, a "good" Samto is a very good 3D pen indeed. It works with both ABS and PLA filament, there's a good range of temperatures to select from, and you can control the filament extrusion speed, thickness and temperature without a problem (just remember your selections since you may not be able to read them on the display). The end result, though – your plastic creations – are just as good as with the VTECH and the Scribbler, for a price of just $50.
Details of the Samto 3D Pen Version 2015 | |
Power | AC 120/220V |
Nozzle Diameter | 0.7mm |
Medium | 1.75mm spool, ABS or PLA filament |
Temperature Range | 160-230, adjustable |
Adjustable temperature/filament thickness | Yes |
Size | 7 x 1 x 2 inches |
Weight | 2.2 ounces |
CreoPop Cordless 3D Printing Pen
For those who really like to be on the cutting edge, we introduce the CreoPop pen. Even if you're already an old hand at using 3D pens that plug in and heat plastic filament in order to design cool shapes, we guarantee you've never seen anything like this before.
First of all (as you could probably tell from the name of this product), the CreoPop doesn't require AC power, allowing you to design freehand without being restricted by a cord; a rechargeable lithion-ion battery takes care of all power needs. What's more interesting is the fact that the pen doesn't heat anything at all (that's the reason a battery can supply enough power). Instead, the implement utilizes cartridges that contain light-sensitive "cool inks" known as photopolymers. An ultraviolet light mounted in the pen shines on the ink as you draw, hardening it into the firm 3D shape you've created without the need for heat.
The pros and cons of the CreoPop are very different than with most 3D pens. The biggest advantage, of course, is that there's no danger of burning yourself or anyone else with the implement, making it safe for younger children to use. We've already touched on the fact that there's no plug required; the battery lasts for about two hours and simply recharges in any convenient USB port. There are no smells of any kind emitted from the pen, the cartridges can be changed easily and don't cause jams in the pen, the inks are non-toxic, and they come in a large range of hot colors including glitters and glow-in-the-dark shades. There are five speed settings to control the output.
The negatives of the CreoPop, though, are the reasons that it only ranks at #4 in our reviews. One is that the ink, or even the finished designs, can react with some surfaces and damage their finishes or paint, and some claim it can be hazardous to stare at the reflected LED light although we suspect that's just a wives' tale. The biggest problem, though, is cost. It's about $130 to buy the pen, and although it comes with three ink cartridges, those are used pretty quickly and replacement cartridges are $20 per three-pack. That's a lot more expensive than plastic filaments for hot pens, and these cartridges can be very difficult to find.
The technology used for this pen is brand-new, and we suspect that as newer versions are released, prices will come down and this will be the technology of choice for 3D drawing. For now the CreoPop is a very cool toy, but it's an expensive one.
Details of the CreoPop Cordless 3D Printing Pen | |
Power | Lithion-ion battery, USB rechargeable |
Nozzle Diameter | N/A |
Medium | 1.75mm spool, ABS or PLA filament |
Temperature Range | N/A |
Adjustable temperature/filament thickness | N/A |
Size | 9 x 2 x 6 inches |
Weight | 4 ounces |
ccbetter Intelligent 3D Pen (Version III)
The final entry on our list of top 5 best 3D printing and drawing pens is another heated model, with most of the pros and cons of the pens we've already reviewed. We like it because it's just under two ounces in weight, accommodates both ABS and PLA, and has all of the controllable functions of the higher-ranked pens.
What we weren't so crazy about were the facts that the placement of the control buttons further down the barrel weren't as convenient as they should be, the pen's maximum temperature is 210° which is a little low for use with ABS, and the LED screen is small and somewhat difficult to read. It's a very good 3D pen, but not the best choice at its price of $80.

Piccolo! Is it me you're looking for?
Its always great to eat at a place where the food is as fun as it is delicious. That is Piccolo Me. Started in 2012 by brothers Charlie & Roy Hachem this cafe is a fun filled hotspot full of the most ingenious and tantalising treats to tickle your tastebuds.
Situated in the midst of the always buzzing Macquarie University, Piccolo Me offers a chic social experience with a range of delicious savoury lunch options and some ridiculously good dessert delights.
Roy Hachem working hard creating his delectable masterpieces.
Cronut with Nutella & Vanilla icecream, strawberries and blueberries.
This was really one of those moments in life where you just have to sit back and say "I am one lucky bastard!" A flakey buttery cronut covered in cinnamon sugar is cut in half, and by the good graces of Roy (and I can only assume some divine power), is filled with vanilla & Nutella iceceam and layered with strawberries and blueberries. Oh my!
Let me tell you a story…One night a Cookie and an Espresso meet at a club. They dirty dance a little until the Espresso builds up the courage and asks "You DTF?". 9 months later a baby was born. They called it Esprookie.
The Esprookie is nifty little creation combining a strong shot of hot expresso into a nutella lined cookie cup. After a minute or two the hot coffee melts and mixes with the nutella giving you a rich hazelnutty caffeine injection with an edible cup to boot!
This is exactly what the doctor ordered. The Nutellagato! Not your average affogato, the Nutella infused icecream is accompanied by a hot espresso shot, chocolate shavings and chopped nuts. Call it a 'sundae', call it an 'affogato', call it what ever you want. Me, I call it 'Delicious'.
Piccolo me is a great place to have a social breaky and lunch or even a sneaky snack between classes. Whatever you're there for, I've found the experience delightful. The staff are friendly and attentive and the range of options available is extensive ranging from burgers to hotdogs, rolls and salads. Check out their other locations in the Sydney CBD and Norwest area for the same great quality eats and friendly service.

The National Museum is a photographer's delight. Various artifacts get attention, but increasingly the interior and exterior of our buildings amaze people. Andy de los Reyes got the sensuality of our staircases in the former legislative building now the National Gallery of Art. You must come if only to be awed by the details of this 1916 colonial-era building. I have many tours for the rest of November and December. A great Christmas gift to visiting Balikbayans and loved ones returning home for the holidays. Click on the photo to enlarge and see my tour dates. See you at the Museum!

An interview with writer/director Julie Dash about "Daughters of the Dust," on the occasion of the film's 25th anniversary.
Something about Sandra Bullock strikes me the right way. She has a warmth that gets you smiling even when the material is weak--as it sometimes is, since she has uncertain luck in choosing projects. In "Miss Congeniality," she makes her way through a screenplay that in other hands would have been a dreary sitcom mishmash, and her presence transforms it into a less dreary sitcom mishmash.
She has the producer's credit on the movie. That means she thought this project was a good fit. Since the material is tired and routine, what was she thinking of? Maybe she's not ambitious enough. Comedies will find her; she doesn't need to go looking for them. Stars with clout usually take on personal projects to break out of their typecasting, not to reinforce it.
In "Miss Congeniality," Bullock plays another version of a familiar role for her, in which she begins the film looking unglamorous and then undergoes a transformation. Sometimes that happens in the eye of the beholder, as it did in "While You Were Sleeping." This time, it happens because of a big-time beauty makeover. She starts as an FBI agent and ends up as a beauty contest finalist, and although churls may argue she's not convincing as a beauty queen, they are not of this earth.
Before she grows up to become an FBI agent, she's a tomboy who can beat up the other kids at school. As an agent, she clomps around looking hearty and graceless, pounding on punching bags and running red lights on her way to Starbucks, until she's assigned to impersonate a beauty pageant contestant. As an undercover agent, she can help head off a rumored terrorist threat to the event.
Uh-huh. But there are some funny scenes as Michael Caine, a disgraced but still brilliant "beauty consultant," supervises her makeover and teaches her how to dress less like a model for L.L. Bean campwear. I saw this movie and Mel Gibson's "What Women Want" within a few days of each other, and in both stories the lead characters get a lot of mileage out of their unfamiliarity with feminine beauty products. Gibson has the edge on depilatories, but Bullock does a better job of not being able to walk like a woman.
The plot also involves Candice Bergen as the founder of the beauty pageant and Benjamin Bratt as Bullock's FBI partner. No prizes for figuring out that Bergen is up to more than she seems, and that after Bullock's transformation, the scales fall from Bratt's eyes and he realizes, gosh, she cleans up real well.
Bullock's character has a thing she does where she snorts through her nose--kind of a genteel barnyard sound--and she even stops doing that after awhile.
"Miss Congeniality" is harmless fun of a silly sort. It isn't bad so much as it lacks any ambition to be more than it so obviously is. I smiled during it, and enjoyed Bullock, but then again I got to see it for free, and I'm the guy who thinks "Speed 2: Cruise Control" is a good movie, something not even Bullock believes.
