(NYSE:ELF) stock, whose eye, lip and face products have been one of the big, growing darlings of the affordable cosmetics industry, and frankly, the market as a whole. The adoption of these affordable beauty products, especially among millennials, has created real momentum for the industry and its stock price.

Though that date has only just passed, reporter Aina Marzia says Butler’s work resonates strongly with readers of Gen Z.

Marzia, a journalist from El Paso, Texas, and a freshman at Princeton University, spoke…
Russian politicians fighting to protect so-called “traditional” values have turned their attention to the country’s vibrant music scene, lambasting pop stars for performances and costumes that are deemed too revealing or sexualized. Pop singer Natalia Chistyakova-Ionova, best known by her stage name Glukoza, was embroiled in a scandal last week after her performance in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk was highlighted by pro-Kremlin censorship activist Ekaterina Mizulina. “Glucoza appeared on stage in a lewd manner and touched his genitals.
