Get Ready to Fall in Love With All the New Products at Sephora This Month

Valentine’s Day is still two weeks away, but Sephora is already coming for my heart (and wallet) with an impressive amount of new products launching throughout February. I won’t lie—Sephora started off the year right with a slew of products that I’m still working my way through. There was First Aid Beauty’s multi-use salve, an entire range from newbie Sobel Rx and the dreamiest cheek palette from Nars. And those barely scratch the surface.

This month is taking things to a whole other level and making it hard to keep up with that whole “stop hoarding beauty products” New Year’s resolution. Between the handful of brands with limited edition sets inspired by the highly anticipated debut of “To All the Boys” P.S. I Still Love You” to a heap of Fenty Beauty drops to multiple mesmerizing palettes, the options are already hard to choose from. With that being said, here’s a carefully curated list of what I think are the most noteworthy Sephora launches for February. Good luck narrowing down to just a few.

10 Celebrities Who Should Be on the New Season of ‘The Masked Singer’

Since its debut in 2019, stars from Adrienne Bailon to Michelle Williams to T-Pain have competed on FOX’s The Masked Singer. But who are some celebrities who should be on The Masked Singer? Ahead of the reality singing competition’s season 3 premiere on Sunday, February 2, we brainstormed a list of stars who would be excellent as contestants on the show.

For those who are unaware, The Masked Singer is based on the South Korean show, King of the Mask Singer, where celebrities perform in head-to-toe costumes and judges try to guess who they are. The American version of the show, hosted by Nick Cannon, premiered in January 2019 and has been massive hit since then. The premise may sound weird, but the ratings don’t lie: People love The Masked Singer.

The show—which is judged by Nick Cannon, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger—has reminded fans that stars like T-Pain and Adrienne Bailon can indeed sing. Bailon even said on her talk show, The Real, that the the show reinvigorated her love for singing. “I got to do what I love to do without people knowing it was me. I think a lot of the part of our insecurities these people will judge you for who you are,” she said. “I can’t believe that people like my voice. I haven’t liked it for so long, but I’ve come to terms with this.”

In the spirit of The Masked Singer, we came up with a list of celebrities (who you may or may not remember sing their butts off) who we would love to see on a future season. Who knows? Maybe a couple of these stars are hiding under masks on season 3.

Ashley Tisdale

Bailon and Raven Symone on season 2 of The Masked Singer opened the possibility to other former Disney Channel stars, who we may have forgotten about. Though there are so many to choose from, our bet is on Ashley Tisdale, who—as seen in ’00s hits like “He Said She Said” and “It’s Alright, It’s OK”—has a unique singing voice that’s both impressive also mysterious. Tisdale is also best known for her role as Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical franchise, and given the recent release of Disney+’s High School Musical: The Series and her return to TV in Netflix’s Merry Happy Whatever, it’s as good of a time as ever for Tisdale to don the mask.

Jimin

When The Masked Singer season 2 premiered, fans were confident that BTS’ J-Hope was a contestant under the alias, The Egg. The Egg turned out to be Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir, but we still think another member of BTS would be an excellent addition to The Masked Singer cast. That member is Jimin. Of the band’s seven members, only Jungkook has competed on South Korea’s King of the Masked Singer. And while Jimin has appeared as a panelist, he’s never been a contestant. There have been rumors of BTS on The Masked Singer U.S. for months, and it could finally be time for one of them to wear the mask. Our pick is Jimin because of his distinguishable voice and smooth vocals. The only issue is that BTS is pretty much the most popular boy band in the world, so it would be difficult for a member to take time off for The Masked Singer. But never say never!

John Travolta

Image: AFF-USA/Shutterstock.

Travolta may be an award-winning actor, but let us not forget that the man can sing. For many, Travolta’s claim to fame was as Danny Zuko in 1978’s Grease. (He also starred in Saturday Night Fever around the same time.) Travolta was also a lead in the film adaptation of Hairspray in 2007, in which he played Tracy Turnblad’s mother, Edna. Aside from Grease and Hairspray, the man hasn’t done many musicals since his film career blew up. But as many of us can remember from his electrifying high not in Grease‘s “You’re the One That I Want,” Travolta has the vocal chops to go far on The Masked Singer, so FOX, give him a mask.

Hayden Panettiere

Image: Rob Latour/Shutterstock.

Panettiere has been out of the spotlight for the past few years, which means that it’s about time for her return. As fans may remember, Panettiere starred as a country singer on ABC’s Nashville for six years, where she sang and released several original songs. She’s also Grammy-nominated with songs for film soundtracks like Bridge to Terabithia. The Masked Singer seems like a positive trajectory.

Idris Elba

We want to start by disclaiming that Idris Elba would be an incredible get for The Masked Singer. That being said, how surprising would it be to find out that Idris Elba was one of the masks? As some remember, Elba played the villain Macavity in 2019’s Cats, the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Broadway musical. The movie didn’t have stellar reviews. That part is clear. But Elba excelled in the role, and his singing voice wasn’t half-bad either. Would a cat mask be too obvious?

Jamie Lynn Spears

Image: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock.

Britney Spears has probably one of the most unique voices in pop music, but there’s no chance in hell that the producers of The Masked Singer will ever nab her. Who is possible is her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, who sang on the Zoey 101 soundtrack and more recently transitioned to a country music career. She even released an EP, titled The Journey, in 2014. Her music career hasn’t taken off in the way her sister’s has, but with the boost of The Masked Singer, perhaps it could.

Sarah Hyland

Image: AFF-USA/Shutterstock.

Hyland may star on the Emmy-nominated comedy Modern Family, but the actress came from musical theatre. In 1999, she starred in the Annie TV film, but it wasn’t until 2016 that she reminded fans of what an incredible singing voice she has. Hyland has covered songs like The Chainsmokers’ “Closer” and Maroon 5’s “Don’t Wanna Know” with the band Boyce Avenue. Her covers have racked up millions of views on YouTube, and we’re sure that her voice will shock viewers of The Masked Singer as well.

Leighton Meester

Image: Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP/Shutterstock.

Meester may have ruled the late ’00s as Blair on Gossip Girl, but those years were also when she introduced fans to her music. The actress sang on Cobra Starships’ 2009 song “Good Girls Go Bad,” which peaked at number-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and in 2014, she released her own album, titled Heartstrings. Meester also starred as a country singer in 2010’s Country Strong, so we sure would love to see her and Panettiere duke it out for the best on-screen country singer.

Bradley Cooper

This would never happen, but Bradley Cooper on The Masked Singer is a dream come true. Anyone who has seen 2018’s A Star Is Born knows that Cooper can sing. His rough, country-folk voice stood on its own alongside Lady Gaga, and to have him on The Masked Singer would a viral moment that we would continue to talk to for years to come. Please let him don a cowboy disguise.

Lucy Hale

Come February 6, Hale will return to the spotlight as fashionista Katy Keene in Riverdale‘s spinoff, well, Katy Keene. She will be a hot topic of discussion, which only makes her Masked Singer appearance that much more desirable. Hale may be known for her work in front of the camera, but she actually had a short-lived music career. She released a country album, titled Road Between, in 2014, and has hinted a return to music in recent years. Let the Masked Singer be a stepping stone to her next album.

Every Way to Stream the Super Bowl If You Don’t Have a TV

More than 100 million households tune into the Super Bowl each year. And given that most young Americans watch TV on their computers (more than 50 percent, in fact), it’s understandable why Super Bowl 2020 live streams would be in such hot demand. The Super Bowl LIV will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Sunday, February 2. The 54th championship game will be between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, as the teams duke it to become the next Super Bowl champions.

Now for the important stuff: Jennifer Lopez (!!!) and Shakira (!!!!!) will be the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, performers. The Hustlers star and the “Hips Don’t Lie” singers were announced as this year’s halftime show acts in September with a photo of the pop stars against a Pepsi logo. “02.02.20 #Repost from @pepsi #LIVEITMIAMI #miamisuperbowlhostcommittee #SBLIV #MIAMI,” the Super Bowl Instagram account wrote in a post before adding: “Two queens colliding on the world’s biggest stage.”

In November, Lopez told Variety about how she wants her Super Bowl performance to be a historic moment, given the current state of politics in America. “I am excited,” she said at the time. “I’m putting it together now. Me and Shakira together. We’re both excited to have been given the opportunity to do that, as two Latin women, in Miami.”

She continued, ““I think it’s important in this day and age for two Latin women to be standing on that stage—when Latinos are being treated a certain way in this country, or looked at a certain way—to show that we have a really specific and beautiful culture and worth and value, and we bring something to this country that’s necessary. I think that’s going to be an amazing moment. That night, I want it to be a celebration of who we are. All of us, because we’re in this together.”

We’re Obsessed With Katie Sowers, the First Woman & Openly Gay Super Bowl Coach

The Super Bowl is always a momentous day—whether you’re just there to catch these Super Bowl 2020 commercials or fully dedicated to posting up at your local sports bar. But this year’s Super Bowl is a little more historic than others, thanks to one person: Katie Sowers, the very first woman and openly gay person to ever coach the event.

The 33-year-old San Francisco 49ers assistant coach is taking Super Bowl LIV by storm. After her team swept the Green Bay Packers for the NFC Championship, Sowers knew the moment was “Unreal,” not only for the win but for what it means for her, too.

She’s just the second woman to hold a full-time coaching position in the NFL altogether, but no woman before her has taken their team to the Super Bowl. Add this to the fact that Sowers is the first openly LGBTQ+ coach—man, woman, or otherwise—to make it to the big night, and her success appears doubly historic.

Yet Sowers isn’t crazy interested in tooting her own horn as far as these historic markers go. Honestly, she’s most interested in doing her job—and doing it damn well. Still, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate her achievements before football’s biggest event of the year.

Read on below for five things to know about Katie Sowers (a.k.a our latest obsession!)

She’s always dreamed of this.

Katie Sowers grew up in a small town, but like plenty of small-town girls, she never stopped having big dreams. “It’s always just been kind of a natural love,” Sowers told People recently. “Every time I got a chance to write any journal entry in school, it was always about football. I was constantly talking about it.”

The older she got, the more she realized her specific calling in the sport: coaching. “I always knew I wanted to be a coach but it wasn’t until I found football later in life when I realized that although the road was way less traveled, I wanted to coach football,” she said to Outsports two years ago. “When I say untraditional, I mean that society is so conditioned to this idea that football is a ‘man’s game’ and anything other than that is far from traditional.” But who says traditional ever gets the job done?

She’s played professional football in the past.

Of course, in order to be a coach, you’ve got to know how to play the game. Sowers has played football on a professional level herself, starring as a quarterback for a Women’s Football Alliance team, the Kansas City Titans. Then in 2013, Sowers became a member of the USA Women’s National Football Team—helping her teammates to bring home the gold. She only retired from playing in 2016, due to a hip injury; yet that setback propelled her into the biggest move of her career yet.

She started her NFL career in 2016, and came out publically.

Source: Instagram

By the summer of 2016, Sowers moved on from the WFA to the NFL. She started as an intern with the Atlanta Falcons before joining the San Francisco 49ers—her current team—in June 2017. Around the same time, the newly-minted NFL assistant coach openly expressed her sexuality.

“No matter what you do in life, one of the most important things is to be true to who you are. There are so many people who identify as LGBT in the NFL, as in any business, that do not feel comfortable being public about their sexual orientation,” she told Outsports. “The more we can create an environment that welcomes all types of people, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, the more we can help ease the pain and burden that many carry every day.”

Thankfully, the NFL held true to that welcoming environment, and Sowers stayed on the 49ers’ season offensive assistant until she was promoted to offensive assistant last year in 2019.

She doesn’t let her sexuality or gender define her work.

Source: Instagram

While Sowers is vocal about her sexuality and remains an advocate for women and LGBTQ+ people hoping to join the NFL, she doesn’t think her identity is the most important thing about herself. Instead, Sowers puts work first.

“When you ask any of the coaches who work with me, often they’ll get asked about working with a female,” Sowers told People in Nov. 2019. “To them, it’s not even something that they think about—and it’s not something that I truly think about. They see me for who I am as a coach, and not a female coach.” Sowers is trying to be the best coach—female or otherwise—period.

But it does define her relationships—she’s taken, folks!

Source: Instagram

We hate to break it to you, but it’s true. Sowers has been with her girlfriend, Cara, for some time now. In Sept. 2019, Sowers posted the kindest message from Cara’s grandmother. “If you want to see an example of true unconditional love, please read this letter my girlfriend received from her grandma after she recently came out to her family about dating a woman,” she wrote in her Instagram caption.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!
