New iPad Alr: Thinner than a pencil

» Apple announces iPad Air 2, Mac Mini, and others

Jerrison Oracion
Senior Columnist

| month, Apple

announced the new versions :

of the iPhone—the 6 and the 6
Plus—which have become the
fastest selling versions of the
iPhone, with sensationalized
reports that the 6 Plus could
be bent. So, how could Apple
possibly top that? They did so
by announcing new versions of
the iPad Air and the iPad Mini
earlier than expected.

On October 16, Apple made :

yet another announcement
at their headquarters in
Cupertino, California. Tim
Cook, CEO of Apple, started
by outlining various updates
on some of their products,

including updates to the iPhone

6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple
Pay, Apple Watch, Mac OS X
Yosemite, and iOS 8. Cook also
said that Apple Pay is available
with all three major credit card
companies in the United States
right now, and will be available
in Canada soon. He also said
that the highly anticipated
Apple Watch is getting a lot of

: praise.

Next, a phone call from

future Late Show host Stephen
: Colbert brought some humour
: into the demonstration of

: iCloud Drive; he announced

: that he works in Apple as

: the Supreme Commander

 

: of Secrecy. Then, Apple

: announced that Mac OS X

: Yosemite and an update of

: iOS 8 that fixes the technical

: problems of the previous

: update of the operating system
: are available now and they

: are free. And finally, Cook

: announced the next version of
: the iPad Aix, iPad Air 2.

Before this announcement,

: many people thought that

: the next version of the iPad

: Air would be announced

: in the spring, making this

: announcement a total surprise.
: The iPad Air 2 is thinner than

: the previous version of the

: iPad Air and it is thinner than

: athinner pencil. According to:
: Phillip Schiller (who could have :
: been the next CEO of Apple),

: the iPad Air 2 is the thinnest

: tablet that is made in the world
: and it is the most powerful

: version of the iPad.

iPad Air 2 has most of the

: new features that are in the

: iPhone 6 including a faster

: processor, Touch ID, faster

: Wi-Fi, and a barometer. Also,

: it has improved cameras that

: add light to pictures and allow
: you to make time-lapse and

: slow-motion videos. The 32

: GB version of the iPad Air has
: been replaced by a new 64 GB
: version, and a 128 GB version

: will also be available. The new
: version of the iPad Mini, iPad
: Mini 3, was also announced

: and will contain the Touch ID

: feature. It will look very similar
: to the original Mac Mini, but
: with many updated features

: such asa 4th generation Intel
: processor and the option for

: a1-TB “Fusion Drive” that

: uses your data quickly and

: intelligently. Despite beefed-

: up features, the Mac Mini will
: remain a low-cost option for

: Apple users.

Finally, Schiller announced
a new version of the iMac. This

: will be the first version of the

: iMac that has a Retina Display

: in it. This new version of Retina
: Display is called the Retina 5K

: Display, and it boasts more

: pixels than HD and even 4K

: to produce clearer and more

: colourful images. It also has a

: faster processor and graphics

: card.

Throughout the

: announcement, Cook and

: company showed off Apple

: Watch, using it to demonstrate
: that it can control various

: things. With no ship date in

: sight, now we just have to wait
: until this winter to find out

: more information on Apple's

: exciting entry into the smart

: watch market.

 

No time to reapply? No problem!

» Long-wear make-up products for your late nights

Brittney MacDonald
Staff Writer

Ma? has become a
ritual of war paint for
most women (and some men)
these days. We don it and feel
invincible on our quest to
tackle the world at large, and if
it’s a night out, to find a date.
But what do you do to make
sure your war paint stays fresh
the whole night, just in case
you meet that 2 a.m. prince or
princess?

Finding long-wear
make-up is a pain. With all
the products out today that
promise to make your face
“life proof,” it requires a lot of
experimentation to know what
works and what’s just going to
go straight to the junk drawer.

So let’s just start with the
basic of the basic—setting
powder. I cringe when I hear
that people skip this step,

: especially if I know they wear

: a full face of foundation and

: concealer. Setting powder

: is not the same thing as

: foundation powder. In the

: world of long-wear, you want a

: translucent setting powder that :
: will bond with your foundation :
: cheek tint. Cream blush can

: or concealer and keep it from

: creasing and forming fine lines :
: powder, so it has a longer life

: under your eyes and around
: your brow and mouth.

I know how precious

: money is when you're a

: student, but if you splurge

: on anything it should be this.

: Make Up For Ever, MAC, and

: Vichy all make decent setting

: powders that will not only

: make oily skin look matte, but
: will also prevent your daily-

: wear concealer and foundation
: from sliding around. This is

: especially good because in all

: my personal and stage make-

: up experience, I haven’t found
: one long-wear foundation that
: didn’t feel like cement on my

: face; being able to stick to my
: tried-and-true BB cream isa
: bonus.

Next up is cheeks. If

I know I have a long day
: coming up I almost never

wear powders. Instead I opt
for cream blush, or better yet,

also be set with your setting

: span than powder, and cheek

: tint is meant to last longer

: than both of them because it

: actually acts as a temporary

: stain. I tend to stick to the

: Urban Decay Afterglow series

: and Benefit’s Benetint, because
: they work and are super

: affordable.

Eyeliner is a big pain for

: any long-wear enthusiast. Your
: eyes are constantly blinking,

: watering, and squinting, which
: makes it nearly impossible to

: find an eyeliner that will last

: through all that for an entire

: day. I prefer liquid liner, but

: almost all of it is water soluble. :
: Products that work do exist;

: Kat Von D has an amazing

: tattoo liner that won’t budge

: even if you're facing the wind
: head-on in a thunder storm—
: but the price is a little steep for :
: the amount of product you get. :
: : day-to-day. I started using

: it around four years ago and

: though I have tried other

: setting sprays including the far
: more expensive products from
: MAC and Make Up For Ever, I

If you don’t wear liquid

: eyeliner often maybe Kat’s

: version will work for you, but

: if you're a daily user you might
: want to look for something a

: little cheaper. Again, Urban

: Decay saves the day! Their 24/7 :
: liquid liner will last you a good
: 12 to 15 hours before you'll need :
: to redo it, and at $12 it’s easy on :
: your wallet. I wear liquid liner
: nearly every day, and one tube
: of this stuff will last me four to
: five months.

I’ve saved the best for

: last, though I feel like a bit
: of acommercial for saying
: this—it’s another Urban Decay :
: product. In my defence, they

: are one of the cheapest brands

in major cosmetics stores,

: and like me, they are against
: animal testing—plus they

: just make a lot of long-wear

: cosmetics. The Urban Decay
: All Nighter Setting Spray isa

constant in my make-up bag
for stage make-up and my

always come back to this one

: because it just seems to work

better than all the rest.
I will readily admit that I

: am lazy. I apply my make-up

: once and the possibility of

: reapplying it during a busy day
: seems torturous. But then, so

: does looking less-than-my-

: best when I’ve got a long day

: (or night) ahead of me. So be

lazy—just don’t let anyone else

: know.
