Since my Esteemed Colleague mentions that we are an equal-opportunity religious-goods . . . uh, discussion forum? . . . this seems like a good time to unveil something I ran across recently: kosher makeup, from ShainDee.
I can’t actually remember how I ran across this. Makeup is not the kind of thing I go looking for. My own personal principle when it comes to cosmetics is that it’s better not to use them: that way you don’t shock people at breakfast.
But even I think these look kind of yummy.

And apparently, as they’re manufactured in strict accordance with kosher laws, they’re even purer than cosmetics marketed as organic.
So whether you want to be beautifully observant, or just beautiful . . .

Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
